Heh 
annoyingly enough, it's the *only* map in the folder without one. i can only guess that when you save the map within the game when doing editsounds, it erases the .bak file or something. 
Test 
if this works, new server move is complete!

This post does not work. 
Welcome To Fov120 =) 
That went pretty smooth, didn't it. Great! 
Woot 
works! and it's FAST! 
It Might Be Fast... 
...but I still cannot View All Threads or get to News Archive. 
Hm 
That worked for me (fast too). View the whole GA thread works fine though, it takes a while of course and stresses the browser a bit. 
Wow... 
DNS updated faster than I expected.

I wonder if i should bother fixing the fact that the timestamps in the database don't have a time zone attached, but the server has suddenly moved 9 time zones over. 
Why Is The Internet Excited About This?

"seriously impressive" ghostbusters game? This looks awful and I can feel my early childhood being stabbed with every physics object tossed. 
Lunaran: 
I don't know, but I just slimed myself. 
If By Slimed You Mean Threw Up On Your Shoes 
 
Probably Heretecal To Say It 
but Ghostbusters was not all that funny. One good laugh and a few amusing
chuckles at best. 
Yeah, Well, That's Just, Like 
your opinion, man.

No, it wasn't a side splitting movie. I still liked it, and so did a lot of people. 
Anyone Remember The Ghostbusters Game On C64? 
ghost vaccum cleaner on the roof of the car ftw.
(plus marshmellow man ruining the city every single time with me having absolutely no idea how to stop him and finish the game... :|) 
S'alright. 
I didn't see it until the 90's and in my twenties. Maybe, if I saw it as a kid my memories of the movie would be more nostalgic. 
I Liked Ghostbusters A Lot. 
...and that doesn't look all that horrible to me. Hell, we haven't really seen much in the way of gameplay, just "ooh, look at shit break apart and fly around; ain't it cool?!"

Although the simulated-real-people thing always creeps me out a little for some reason, and is very wrong.

What looks so awful to you, other than that? 
Man Developes Armor-suit Prototype For Military 
Pjw 
The gameplay shot shows almost no gameplay other than some kind of man-lifting mechanic involving showing off effects and physics and their twisty beam thing. Oh, and the roadie run lifted from Gears.

The art direction looks like they either wish they were making Gears, or they want to make the Ghostbusters "cooler" for the "hip" crowd by putting them in the future and making them look like the platoon from Aliens. Most of the Ghostbusters chic wasn't just that they shot at ghosts, it was the overall style of 80's Manhattan + functional and blue-collar looking equipment/firehouse/etc + kind of silly gremlinesque ghosts. If you remove the (horrid) logo from the video and the side of the (shameful) car there is nothing left in any of this footage besides the (creepy) Bill Murray that resembles GB in any way. It looks like the point of the game is that you're on some navy seal team that lifts people with a swirly white tractor beam and blows parts of buildings up in a futuristic West Palm Beach, Florida.

When they give the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man a do-rag and gold chains, don't say I didn't warn anyone! 
Ah. 
We don't really have anything to go on re: gameplay, but I see what you mean.

The art direction does have that sorta generic-cool pseudo-military look going on. And yeah, no silliness to be seen, which was sort of the point... 
Re: Server Move 
So, everything appears to be good now. Thanks to SleepwalkR for providing the server and assisting me in the move. 
Wow, 
didn't even noticed a single thing, gj on the move and this server is nice and fast! 
Yeah, And 
it's probably about to get faster. We are thinking about moving to a better machine (faster, more ram). The current one is a five years old Celeron with 256MB of ram. It really sucks. 
Zwiffle? 
Did you ever finish For Those Who Weep
No 
I was working on that in Hammer, and could not convert the file format over to GtK radiant when I switched to that, and so I may have deleted the files. In any case, I don't know where it's at. 
 
and I'll wiffle & weep for ever...
