My first idea is simply that there are a large number of excellent scenarios out there for which there is either no information or vastly out-of-date information. I've always felt it rather regrettable that nothing like the Story Page exists for scenarios like Rubicon and Eternal, or (to a much less...

I actually realised you were taking the piss immediately, I just don't think anyone else did D;

Once upon a time, Irons and I were working on a thing that would be a narrated (and summarized) version of the in-game events, punctuated by terminal texts at the appropriate point, plus "Director's Commentary" about the development of the game. Perhaps rolling that (maybe minus the director's comm...

I got the impression Tommy-TBone was just saying he couldn't understand why anyone would need a warning about a 21MB file unless their ISP had a download limit.

In December of '06 I wrote a long email to Pfhorrest listing various feedback pertaining to this scenario and he responded to it point-by-point. I completely forgot about it for over a year due to being distracted with school and other problems, but I really should really should respond to it now th...

rofl, it took me a moment to notice the OpenGL shoop. Nicely done.

Certainly true, and I intend to take advantage of the metaserver at some point. That said, I'm probably not going to have that much time for gaming over the next few months due to school, so depending on how much time I'm able to spend on it, you may not see me on the metaserver until December.

Most of the people I play against are from Fool's Gold, which is my own board; a few others are from various other boards I've visited over the years. I also used to play a lot of games the old-school way on local networks, though it's been a long time since I was able to set up one of those. And ye...

I mostly play net games with people on another forum. One of these days I'll have to get onto games here. granted, I'm not saying I'm a superb net player. I usually get so focused on one aspect of the game that I completely block out everything else, and I've seldom played in games with more than tw...

If you suck at aiming and the enemy reacts immediately, yes. However, they don't always react immediately and I'm good at aiming.

Granted, if you don't have time to set up the shot, or if they see you, the shotgun is obviously the better choice.

OK, you stay out of net game discussions from now on. Looks like you don't even know what a net game is. Like I said, it's since been revised. That said, the high ammo count actually added quite a bit of strategy because seeing what ammo had just been picked up would enable you to determine where o...

damn

What in the world map is this? Remakes of Acme Station and "Breathing Nothing At All" from Rubicon where all the windows are open, and where I added quite a few windows to the ones that already exist. screenshot of the BNAA remake: it's been revised somewhat since then though. Except even if you're...

Yeah, visciom, what a douchefag.

m i doin it rite gaiz?

I assume you mean for a long-range attack, in which case this is arguably true for any weapon. True enough but it's vastly more so for the SPNKR, since it's a one-hit-kill weapon. Though it's easier to react to the SPNKR firing than a lot of other weapons, so there's a tradeoff. Except any weapon i...

That's the case with all weapons though, really. Though I guess it's more important with the SMG than with dual shotguns because it takes so long to reload.

True enough on the lag when you get to point-blank range, but I hit opponents more often than not, unless they fire first, in which case they almost always hit me. as for the SPNKR, it's only useless if the target notices it's coming and isn't so close to a wall that they can't get away. (I've been ...

At point-blank range, a single shotgun blast will kill a player with red shields. That said, the SPNKR is obviously a better long-range weapon, but it has the flaw that by the time a rocket reaches its destination, a smart player will already have gotten out of the way. At medium range I'd rank them...

Hence why the shotgun is the weapon of choice of discerning Marathoners.

The colour of blue fighters isn't actually included in the wall collections' colour tables for some reason. If you add that it'll make the texture with the marathon logo show up much better in Forge, rather than the pixellated bunch of crap you currently see in your third screenshot.

I'll have to try this out; thanks for the update.

I wasn't active in the community last time you were around, but welcome back all the same.

welcome, dood. I've been a fan since 1996, it's good to see other old-school players around.

...but they're already gritty looking. The top two are kind of, the rest aren't really. At least, not nearly as gritty as the ones in the standard replacement textures folder. Nevertheless, for your info: Step 1. merge visible, command-j, set palette colors to B&W, clouds, layer display mode > over...

thanks for the link to that, I'll give it a going-over tomorrow when I have access to my unmerged map files.
