"Runes" sets (i.e regarding the Quad rune in post #10807) would be complete with a Ring of Shadow, all runes from the 4 Quake episode, and for sure a Pentagram... It would be a good price for next year QExpo speedmap contest, or any other big event... what do you think ? 

If I could win an entire set of Runes for next year I would start mapping right now. Please Please Please!!!!! I beg you on my knees for a complete set!!!! 

even if there isn't, you should do so! 

(duplicate news post) 

I learnt the effects of heroin (surprisingly, I forgot what I was taught at school), what a speedball is, and more shockingly about the condition priapism - a possible effect of coming off heroin.

I hope I don't have a stiffy in the morning. Good night. 

Bal says you should quit the heroin before the heroin quits you 

I just tried to browse Spogs old site on PlanetQuake for info on Q3Map by doing the new url trick spog.planetquake.blah.blah, and I got this message,

I have downloaded both "TmOriginal_FromPowerUp_Setup.exe" and "TmsExtreme_FromSunrise_Setup.exe" but when I try to install any of those I get a message: "trackmania was not found on this computer"
Do I miss something? 

Trackmania Nations is for free. It is great fun :) 

I think it's Trackmania Nations that is free. That was for some tournament as far as I know. 

I just wanted to show-off my knowlegde and fast posting skills, you know?

I'm no longer in love with Quake.
Hmm. 

czg u are a bitch you in love with everybody... 

if you never map again, thanks for all the good Quakin' you have provided. 

hello 

I wonder if anyone has messed with hl2 command line options to get it to run better? I've got a few commands in mine but it still hitches loading data on occasion and is very annoying, this is what I am using :

-novid -heapsize 1024000 -cl_forcepreload 1 -dsp_enhance_stereo 1

So im giving it a full 1gb of ram to play with (I have 2gb in my pc) and telling it to preload everything yet it still hitches??? Does anyone more in the know than I am know of any other useful parameters to add? Oh the dsp enhance parameter makes the stero panning sound much better btw! 

runs like ass on my pc on level loads. The hitching is a huge problem. It's infinitely worse with more recent Source games.

I only have 512mb though :( I also have a crap onboard sound chip. Once it's loaded it all runs fine, but this problem absolutely shitted on my experience of the game.

Luckily, I had played it at my old work and it ran fine on a system that also had 512mb ram (but a proper dedicated soundcard) and had no hitching issues.

I hate source. 

So the problem has to do with the sound? Wow, I never knew that. 

Found that this little gizmo works wonders for latency performance, decreasing and sometimes halting the stuttering completely: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/PCI_Latency_Tool/1105467085/1 

You know what that means - it's time to move over to the dark side and finish that Doom 3 map, beotch.
