since I'm in the market for a new tv plus a house, I cant really afford pc upgrades right now.

Anyway, so far, no probs with the games I currently have when the machine is actually running.

That's mostly Wine with a fancy frontend. Try http://www.playonlinux.com/ if you really need that.

Ricky: 750W PSU? Did you plug in a USB vacuum cleaner or what?

Its Not A Very Good PSU

Its a "750W" PSU with 1x PCIe 6 pin power connector :S
Never had any problems with it in my old rig, but I bought a new one :D New one is a Corsair HK series 850watt Modular PSU - which is a very good PSU :P

Not that I am suggesting this may be the cause of your own problem, but this is a true story.

I was aked to look at a fridge that had inexplicably stopped working and the owner said that she had definitely changed the fuse and checked the socket by using the kettle on it, and they were OK.

I checked the motor, relay and stat and all were fine. I took the plug to do a simple circuit test and got no reading. I changed the fuse and still no good. I went back to the stat, and relay, still nothing. I pulled the fridge out of its niche and then saw the problem.

A mouse had chewed through the cable and that is why there was no circuit. I know it was a mouse because its little fried body was still attached. I replaced the cable and the fridge went on its way. I dumped the mouse's body after due ceremony.

Quake 2 Engines

#18046 posted by jengle on 2010/02/01 05:49:29

What are the most popular Quake 2 Engines? Is there any engine that has a similar "goal" to Fitzquake (ie. leaving the essence of the engine intact, while updating limits and fixing bugs)?

#18047 posted by nitin on 2010/02/01 06:55:13

kmquake2 seems to be pretty popular but it smakes some core graphic changes which I'm not too fond of.

And although his initial plans may have changed, aguire's in development q2 engine had the goals you refer to.

#18048 posted by Spirit on 2010/02/01 08:19:53

If you were on Linux, then http://www.yamagi.org/quake2/ would be your choice.

#18049 posted by necros on 2010/02/01 08:21:44

is there a site for aguire's q2 engine?

Fitzquake 0.85 Bugs

#18054 posted by Monster616 on 2010/02/03 01:46:06

Been experimenting with Fitz .85 lately, and I've noticed what appears to be a few bugs that break certain maps. The most prime example that I've come across so far is e3m2, The Vaults of Zin. The silver key does not descend to the floor below along with the platform its on, instead it gets stuck there. This way I can just grab the key and finish the level. I also noticed monsters teleporting in strangely in the starting room.

On a few custom maps I've noticed monsters getting stuck where they shouldn't be stuck, and also more problems with teleportation.

Responses would be greatly appreciated !

yikes, thanks for the bug reports, I'll check these issues out.

For the monsters getting stuck, can you give specifc maps and where in the map?

#18056 posted by anonymous user on 2010/02/03 09:16:06

The issue with the key on e3m2 can happen when you use low host_framerate values (like 0.005) for any reason.
Did you change any variables from their standard values or are you using a mod?
For me there are no problems with e3m2 or monster teleports.

#18057 posted by negke on 2010/02/03 10:47:35

The host_framerate issue on e3m2 also affects other engines (but not DP). It seems like model and brush entities react differently when slowed down or something.

Hard to see that in a positive light.

To reach our aspiration, we need to make changes to the [xbox live] service that are incompatible with our original Xbox v1 games

Hmmm. Yes. Not going to affect me, but a lot of people are going to be staring teary-eyed at Zwiffle's cat for consolation.
