Thought just hit me. You know what I think it is? I think this sound goes to Ghosting. Until Grav or someone from the Sniper days can confirm this, I think what Ghost would do is release a decoy every x seconds and would make the 171.wav sound. EDIT: And if you had cloak and stealth enabled while ghosting was enabled -- oh what fun!

By bounce, are you referring to bomb bounce or bullet bounce? EDIT: Nevermind! It is bullet bounce.

What is the difference between the gray shrapnel and the green shrapnel?

Someone can have mine.

Bump.

Rootbear, imagine if the server files for Subspace were never released. Now remember VIE pulling the plug on Subspace. What do you think would happen? In other words, if you remove dedicated servers from the picture, chances are there would be no Subspace today. By being able to run your own server, you have the freedom of will to configure, shape and run it to your likings. EDIT: If the developers of MW2 one day decided to finally pull the plug on their MW2 servers because the game was too old even though a small population of players continued to play the game, then playing MW2 would be no more. By allowing dedicated servers, the lifetime of the game is in the hands of the players and fans.

Yes. Whoever said that ought to be banned. There's always FileFront, FileShack, FilePlanet, etc.

gradient.bm2 (4,0) works like (0,0), but is the alternate color that shows the maximum potential of energy you have left to upgrade to.

^^ vv 171.wav

Haha.

Any hopes of this being released as open source?

Haha, guess you're right! Better attention than none, if at all.

Subspace is not the oldest/longest living MMO around. I think it is in 2nd place. EDIT: Isn't Ultima Online or something the one in 1st place? Don't people still play that game?

Well back around 1998-1999 I used to be a DSB player...

If you no longer have the source to the plugins, then here are the following things you can do: * Program new ASSS modules that provide the functionality your bots provide * Enable the VIE/Subgame commands module (no guarantees that it will cover everything) * Do a total-conversion of ASSS' commands to use the traditional command names and formats There might be some other solutions or workarounds that I have missed. EDIT: To be honest, I personally don't think DSB should switch over to ASSS until ASSS is polished to where it complies with the original and traditional Commands.hlp and naming convention.

Try IWBTG at http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/downloads.php (yes, the game is beatable and has been beaten by several people on Impossible).

http://www.swtorstrategies.com/2009/11/while-we-wait-for-old-republic-star_14.html I liked it. I've never seen any of the Star Wars before, but watching this makes me want to go and watch the whole trilogy or something.

I don't think we should even support the Shift+Tab Steam Overlay in Continuum. It's irrelevant to the purpose of trying to get Continuum on Steam in the first place. Yeah, it might be a nice feature and all, but it would cause a lot of issues for Continuum and would require PriitK/Snrrrub's expertise, which I would also think neither are willing to do or would even agree with the idea of implementing the Steam Overlay in Continuum. We really don't need anything from Steam or Valve more than just getting Continuum published in the games listing to attain a theoretical population boost and permanent attention for the game. EDIT: And replacing the default hotkey "Shift+Tab" for laying mines would be an extremely controversial thing. If this happens, at least half of the community will be flaming angry with pitchforks and shovels. (EDIT3: I guarantee you that there will be replies here strongly and extremely disagreeing with having the Steam Overlay in Continuum, especially as "Shift+Tab") EDIT2: "Alt" already plays a role in enlarging the radar. Sorry bud, but all the hotkeys are taken.

Ah, yes. I remember the one jabjabjab made, and I remember seeing this one too. Man, first time I saw it I couldn't stop laughing.

I like your thoughts Dr Brain, although I do not quite see how this idea would be a terribly difficult one to implement. Jowie toured me around his modules for Command & Conquer and to discuss how some of his existing modules could easily be modified to function for my idea. One of the modules he has is where you can apply settings to specific players and specific frequencies (frequency/team-wide). I enjoyed his tour this morning, and it excites me even more. EDIT: By the way, is ASSS really limited to 254 flags instead of the 255 limit in Subgame? However, by no means (unfortunately) am I a programmer. I know someone here is going to comment and say "then go learn to program," and I will down the road through college. I just don't have the environment and occasionally the time to learn it, and though I could theoretically start learning now, I wouldn't be able to put my idea into live functional status for years anyway. And by the time I get to there, what if I no longer have any time at all to do this as a result of college? I further anticipate someone to comment here that they don't have the time either. Well, I am not expecting anyone here to have time or to pitch in support. I was hoping to gain interest and support to this idea, and perhaps that in itself would become a driving and motivating force to implement this idea. (EDIT: And by no means would I see myself taking credit or power-mongering as leader/owner. I would see this as a shared community effort and collaboration. I try to do what I am able to do wherever I can.)

There are some Steam games out there now, like Trackmania (racing game), that works just like Continuum. Steam is not required, although the game is downloaded through Steam, updated through Steam, and launched through Steam. I found out that I could just copy and paste the Trackmania folder Steam created in the SteamApps folder to another machine that doesn't have Steam, and run the game straight off without any problems. Which means that Continuum can be the same. Steam creates a folder for Continuum in the appropriate SteamApps folder, downloads the root content of Continuum (everything inside the "/Continuum/" folder) into that folder, and simply executes Continuum.exe to run the game. This can be done, as it is done like this for games like Trackmania. (Essentially that is adding a "custom game" shortcut in Steam, except that Steam downloads the game for you and places its files in some directory under SteamApps. Download and open http://www.hlrse.net/subspace/Continuum040Setup.exe in WinRAR -- this is a self-executing/installer RAR archive that I created, and this demonstrates how flexible it is to deploy Continuum without using an installer.) (With my packaging of Continuum, it is set that a registry file is executed after ""installing"" Continuum to preconfigure Continuum; this is not required, as Continuum will automatically use defaults and generate appropriate registry entries. But perhaps, if Steam allows, some technique like this could be used to keep directory server lists updated for people so that they'll theoretically never have a problem with dead directory servers.) But yeah, adding a link to Valve/Steam in Continuum isn't a problem, as you mentioned. As far as cheating goes, Valve should know that (since they do not run and operate the servers and networks like SSC, BlueT, SSCX, etc) they do not need to worry about this -- as it is already taken care of. As far as I see it, I still do not see any conflicts or problems. Unless something in specific needs to be elaborated more and detailed. EDIT: Did I mention that Trackmania Nations is available through Steam for free? The game is I think a few hundred megabytes in size too. Continuum is nothing compared to that. EDIT2: And suppose, if the whole Snrrrub & Ghost Ship dilemma ever got resolved and Snrrrub came back and continued to develop Isometry and hacking the client, Continuum could be mass updated through Steam like this. (By the way, I'm not counting on this actually happening.) EDIT3: Just tested the custom game feature in Steam on Continuum and it works perfectly fine without any problems. http://www.hlrse.net/Qwerty/steam_cgCont.png

Bump.

The bug does not exist on ds1.hlrse.net -- I even checked by disabling UpstreamServers and experimenting around. We use Snrrrub's directory server, which will contact other directory servers and copy their listings (and remove duplicate entries of the same thing). The problem originates at either ssdir.playsubspace.com or dirserver.ssnecentral.net.

What server or zone are you playing in? There are only two possibilities as to why this problem occurs: 1) The server is having connection problems. Chances are other people connected to this same zone are also having the same problem as you -- if not, that makes this possibility even more unlikely. 2) Your connection, regardless of what you say. We need more detail as to how you are so sure that your connection and computer is fine -- we need to know what you did and how you come to such conclusion. Two, it is very possible your ISP has been sucking lately, or someone in your area has been torrenting and utilizing most of the available bandwidth for the line you are on, or other (need more detail).

Nobody is perfect, and some people are better at certain things than others. I see potential and benefit in Turbo in some areas that most people here are [greatly] lacking in. I do not think Turbo is 'quite the best' at writing letters, which in this case, all we need to do is find someone we know in this community who is good at writing and ask them to rewrite the rough draft of the letter using the 'main selling points' or something. I know Turbo will understand what I am saying, and I also know he won't be offended in me saying this and he will take it lightly because this is what constructive criticism is about. Criticism that is not constructive is more like trying to put pressure on someone in attempt of convincing them to simply give up and go away. Duh. We're all human. Then why don't you ask him about his background instead of trying to trash two threads with the same message?
