'caralho voador'

means flying cock 

Pico volando. 

It's Zeus manifest as a swan. Philistines!

I just burst my WAMP/Wordpress cherry!

OMG, purely academic commotion.

Im sooo happy, but I have nobody here where I work to express it to. I recon I will have "RickyT23's Base Maps For N00bs" site compiled, er, eventually... 

Probably old news to everyone but me but I got around to adding LMP previewing into my PAK editor and came across the sell screen for Quake. It sort of screams "placeholder" to me but you be the judge...

Interesting! 

Funny... Yeah, I guess they just decided to pop up the help screen instead, which has ordering info anyway. 

and possibly others:

does the thin plastic/rubbery coating over the majority of the mouse (the sides and center surrounding the mouse wheel) tend to start peeling off for you guys?

i love these mice, they work forever and fit my hand comfortably but the two i own both have the damn plastic covering peeling off.

it's like a snake shedding it's skin. -_- 

Yes, it is kinda disgusting. I'm gonna find me a new one soon. 

I have an MX518 which I ended up never using, because my hands are too small and I don't like the form. I finally got me a Razer Krait which is perfect for me.

If someone wants the 518, ask.

not that i get everything, but, well, i love how it is written. 

tl;dr

What's the idea? 

nice. I'll probably have to read that another three times to understand everything. 

Say, what's the bot of choice these days for DM fun? 

reaper081 or something like that, dead easy to use, addaptive AI, you can record demos which will run under normal Id1 progs....

I think as long as Electro hasn't finished his Shockbot, FrikbotX is the way to go. 

guys you should be kidding? these bots are really suxx, frogbot rules, just ask Trinca, he has a progs.dat with around 300 maps that frogbot has supporting. and a bot with skill 20 really kicks ass 

Frikbot X

I know the Reaper would just learn the level as it played. Do these other bots do the same? I don't want to mess around with having to create waypoint files every time the map changes... 

Frogbot is pretty amazing. But I too like Reaper bots the most for some reason. 

They need waypoints which might be that ^ reason. 

you don't need to create waypoints for frogbots
as trinca's progs.dat already has supporting for a large amount of maps
i can record a quick demo of duelling frogbots 

What I'm driving at is that I'd like the bots for testing any DM level I might want to create on my own. Files containing waypoints for existing levels won't help me ... the bot needs to be able to be dropped into a level and just play. Know what I mean? 

i see 

If you dont like it I'll give you a full refund!

Im sure the other bots are superior for reason X or reason Y, and honestly ReaperBot is the first bot I got to work for me and I havent tried the others mentioned above. But its dead easy to use Reaperbot, you just run the progs as any other mod, press a key to spawn bots 4 at a time, or 1 at a time, and you're off!
They will attack eachother and you, they learn the map and the location of the items, and where they start off as noobs, they soon begin to kick your ass!
