Do you have Tyr-Quake? I'm doing a little bench marking of different Quake builds, but my system does better than it has any right to for a PIII.

BTW Tyr should perform well on anyset up, the gamma is completely shot to hell for it.

If you're having problems with gamma in my GLQuake engine, try adding -gamma 0.6 to the command line (this is also mentioned in the readme, adjust gamma value to your liking). You can't change the gamma in-game.

I'm Listening To The Doom3 Theme Song

#4883 posted by Lunaran on 2004/07/24 02:37:13

Am I missing something that makes this song great, or am I right in thinking it sounds like garage-band grade shit?

Awww... Ain't It CUUUTE!?

Am I missing something..., or am I right in thinking [the Doom 3 theme song] sounds like garage-band grade shit?

I wasn't particularly impressed, either. I wouldn't have called it "shit," though.

I Got This Bizarre E-mail Today

#4889 posted by pushplay on 2004/07/24 20:15:46

Has anyone else received anything like this? I can't possibly accept the idea that Ravensoft wants me and thought they would recommend a monitor while they were at it.

Hi pushplay@****.ca,

This is a message from me@me.com. They thought you would be interested in:

http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/show_product_info.php?code=MO-SA910V

They also say:

i wasn't sure if you were a ai programmer or not so i sent you this...

ARE YOU A AI PROGRAMMER
Thursday, July 22, 2004.

If you are, then Raven Software wants your undivided attention.

Mr. Rick Johnson's the Lead Programmer at Raven Software sent out a .plan file late last week where he has announced he us seeking a AI Programmer. Maybe you could be the person he is looking for.

This person will be responsible for assisting in the development of single player AI for a Doom3 based product.
This person will need to coordinate their own efforts with those of the animation department as well as to ensure proper level design and use of the AI.

(blah blah blah...)

Applications should either email or mail resumes to:
(some address)

rjohnson@ravensoft.com

...btw i couldn't get your quake 3 map to work could you post instructions on your site?

Thanks,

The AusPC Team.

Wow That Is Bizarre

Written like a AI simulation scripter set on the Random and Retarded settings. There is enough info there to regard the second part as plauseable.

I get the feeling their are three seperate interested parties in that e-mail (as if three e-mails got bunched up). me@me.com, RJohnson, and whom ever is asking for assistance on your map.

Be afraid.

Hahahahahaha

#4892 posted by pjw on 2004/07/25 17:00:52

No, that is certainly not the way that Raven would go about things. That's good stuff.

ARE YOU A AI PROGRAMMER

the grammar on that phrase owns like slavery

Owns Like Slavery

#4894 posted by pushplay on 2004/07/26 00:39:23

That's priceless.

The weird thing is that I do machine learning programming for a living at the moment. And I do have an unfinished quake 3 map on my site. (Someone needs to kick my ass and make me finish it.) Wait a sec, I might know who sent this to me...

Dont Leave Us Hanging!!

#4895 posted by HeadThump on 2004/07/26 00:45:49

Who was it?

#4896 posted by Mr Fribbles on 2004/07/26 05:29:09

Well that's got to be someone you know yanking your chain... I've heard of targetted advertising but that's beyond ridiculous :)

p.s I've bought a lot of computer hardware from auspcmarket.com.au... of course you never know, but I have a hard time believing they'd be in on some kind of bizzare spam like this. They're more reputable than that.

Take it from me that Raven doesn't approach people they want to hire that way.

Yay Nice Read.

It's common sense, but often times unvocalized common sense.
