"Don't drink as much."
the single worst piece of advice I've ever read reality sucks; we wouldn't all be playing Quake if it didn't. I don't get hang overs. And no, she was no tranny. I swore to never do one-night stands without using a condom after the first time I did it. The angst the morning after was fucking unbearable, and now I went and did it again, after six years of not breaking my promise to myself.
Oh, and vigil, do I strike you as particularly mormon-ish? "don't drink as much..." gee wizz captain obvious, you don't say?! My warped brain has practicaly turned denial into a fine tuned science. Wrath -- sorry to hear about your personal anguish there.
A) Yeah, that's what your dad told me when I plugged him last night.
B) Why don't you come on over? Me and Mr. Lousville could up the global IQ-average with one swift gesture. C) Eat my ass. --- You can choose any retort you feel like. I'll be pretty much offline and non-Quaking for at most the next three days while my computer gets a new home - namely, AMD 2GHz, 256MB, 64MB onboard video and sound, USB etc.
All of which should mean more Quakery from me in the future, and maybe Quake III-ery, or Unreal-ery, or... :) If the mobo has onboard video, can you add in an AGP card and that card will be used?
Exploding dog fell off my bookmark list somehow, and I forgot how good it was.
http://explodingdog.com/january2/theendoftheinternet.html Phait: yes. But you'll have to disable the onboard video card, and from what I've been told, it's a pain in the ass. There should be some guides or whatever if you search on google.
No usually that's easy, either it looks for outboard first or you need to set it that way in Setup ("CMOS" settings at powerup). You'll want to uninstall any drivers for the old first, backing down to standard VGA.
I did get a surprise with the NForce motherboard, it doesn't support PCI video cards (the onboard is prob. PCI) so I'm down to GF2 onboard from GF4 PCI I was using before. It depends. Some mobos that have onboard video DO NOT have an AGP slot. Thus, you cannot add an AGP video card.
Way to go dood! God that is long overdue, hope it gets working all right and that it opens up a lot of gaming opportunities.
With all this q1 activity, I might just get off my ass and break open wc3 again.
Grindspire lives downstairs from me now. I always thought he looked like a crumbling castle on top of a craggy rock but now I've been disillusioned... Anyway, that's real freaky. We still have a computer at home, but it isn't working anymore. You see, I decided to return the P200MMX processor to its original home, the Front Computer. The transplant seemed to go without a hitch, I was careful to check everything was grounded, but alas! The bloody thing won't start. Not even the little memory check, nothing at all.
Feh. It's only the Front Computer, and until we get someone in to sort out the networking problems, no biggie. Incidentally, I'm told the new box should run stuff like Q3A, just without all the graphical bells and whistles and gongs. mmm... a word on integrated video cards... be careful, some of them actually use up system ram instead of actually having their own video memory.
but like rpg said, a 2ghz will absolutly murder q3. question:
so I've got a map that, well I can do this: either 1) put r_maxsurfs and r_maxedges really high to avoid grayflash OOOOOOOOOOR 2) put the resolution any higher than 320 by 240 but not both at the same time. The map is of course very large, and I've used the -winmem command to load more memory. Quake can't seem to handle it though; does this HAVE to be custom engine territory only?
