a little far fetched, but have you tried disabling any antivirus software you have running in the background and checking whether that makes any difference?
If you're on Windows, try using -dinput or its equivalent in NQ engines. The D stands for Direct, I think it's a Microsoft thing.
https://visualvm.dev.java.net/docindex.html
I thought this style of documentation was windows help (nobody uses, ever) only :( They only describe the GUI, not what the application is actually doing. It's a notebook pc so there wasn't really any self-build option around and the dell seemed like the most affordable machine of the spec I wanted at the time. If I get a desktop or mini-desktop, I'll probably just build it myself.
Anyway, I can't get into Windows to disable any AV software and I'm 100% sure AVG is not causing the problem. The machine turns on, the monitor backlight turns on with it, the HDD whirs, no bios beep errors occur, the HDD seems to work as normal, but after a few seconds the monitor backlight turns off as if there is no signal whilst HDD activity continues as if it were botting. I unplugged the HDD to see if it would make any beep when I booted and there were two beeps. I think the gpu is borked, though whether it overheated I don't know - the max operating temperature of the machine is a pathetic 35C so I don't have any trouble believing overheating could have caused the problem since it's consistently about 35C at the moment outside and the machine has always run ridiculously hot. I've sent a mail off to dell customer support, but I have a strong feeling they are going to be completely useless bastards. Can we please all stay honest, bad mouthed and unfiltered? The 'wow, that's great' attitude Ricky and some others are spreading sucks. Read q3w or d3w for a while to see why.
I want honest people. This is about the only place where most people care enough to complain. If i'm shitmouthed every time i'm honest, i will stop being honest and lie to you how great your stuff is. somebody has to be the nazi
fuck you megaman you suck there see happy now i've told you so? feel obliged to master yourself? do you feel your creative output is ready to be expanded, innovated? you seem very sinical. do you have a miserable time? maybe just a rough lifestyle. full of pure grit and an omniscient ressiliance to lifes labours. who am I to say. just out of curiousity though, what is this "q3w" and "d3w" of which you speak? forgive me but I'm unfamiliar with your shorthand. it might help your case a little if you perhaps relay some sort of example of this evidence of which you speak If i'm shitmouthed every time i'm honest if you take "artistic journalistic libertys" everytime you're honest, at someones expense. it should be possible to be honest without causing an argument, or I bid thee rise above it Love?
"Ricky I like you but" love is in the air la la la la love is in the air la la la la roulfffff and ricky say to me rocket in arse? :) hehe You're too pissy
You're not pissy enough You're too nice You're not nice enough It's like a soap opera cycle of prima donna bullshit. I'm starting loving you all....ready?
I was watching a docu about Spartacus and how he honourfull tried to lead the slaves against the Romans, but as he had no clear politics he had to loose it afterall. Saw him die his tragic death and the Romans sculptured their way to Rome with scornfull crosses with tortued slaves. Then I went to bad and had tis strange dream. I was in the land of Quake with some of my best friends. In some strange way I knew, although I was dreaming, that it couldn't be real... the land of Quake...hah! So I told my friends they don't had to be serious with the craetures they would met. And as example I went to the first one I met. someone that looked like an army officer and the look-a-likes of carmack, took a big stone from the ground and started beating it on his head. To my surprise his head became like a bublegum, clunching up all sides and slowly I lost the fun in doing so. Then I saw my friends getting killed and I really got scared, because I was the one who told them not to be frightened. Suddenly another army agent came up to me with a big stone aiming to my head, and the only thing I could feel was his groaning question: H� farmerboy, have you seen that armyofficer? which I know is an old greece parabel about te god Mercurious trying to see how faithfull the slave would be. http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=203569
Apparently I was wrong and the ads WILL be in game on giant billboards. Carmack states that Q3A suits giant ads in-game just fine because Quake's got a very tournamenty gamey feel anyway. which also doesn't suit my style of design at all, so, I guess I won't be revisiting any of my old maps or making any new ones for Quake Live. I haven't rtfa yet, but doesn't that pretty much mean that custom maps won't be possible? =\
Yeah I'm seriously dissapointed about this. I imagine they would be possible, just have a criteria that X amount of adverts at X variety of sizes must be placed prominently in a map. Maybe it's too hard to enforce so they won't allow custom content but in theory the criteria is pretty easy and mappers could easily incorporate them....and I think it would be fair to accept the need to include ads...
I also agree with Carmack's reasoning about a very tourney game and exactly the same thing would apply to UTX for example. A fair point, and could be integrated well so not to intrude on gameplay.
The real problem is the back and forth pissing about that it'll almost certainly create - advertiser X doesn't think that their jpg is shown enough because it's dark and so is the lighting, or it's a shade of grey and becomes washed out. Or its a 1000x2 texture and becomes warped etc. etc. Which adds guff to development time, taking away from what the designers are able to put into the game itself. Probably negligible, but even so.
