July 18th, 1999Poll ResultsOk, the poll results are in (wow, been a whole month - I guess this is gonna be a monthly thing rather than weekly). I haven't gotten the new poll questions done yet, but they should be up soon, so keep an eye on the polls section. InterviewNorthern Tactics Paintball gave us a little interview. Go check out their site. It's pretty cool, esp. if you're into RealLife(tm) paintball. If you're not, check it out anyway ;) If you just want to check out the interview, click here. July 16th, 1999I'm Back, BTWOh, by the way, I'm back from my vacation. It was OK. I won't bother posting stuff twice, so if you want to read about it (and read the wonderful poem I made about my computer problems), check out the news on my site.
I'm gonna get the new polls up here soon, so if you've got any good ideas for poll questions, send 'em in quick! (click on my name) July 14th, 1999News CGI Back UpWell, PlanetQuake changed the dirs on us, so the news CGI stopped working right. The problem is corrected now, so we can do updates once again :) July 6th, 1999Linux/Solaris builds Alita SkinsOkay, because of the CONTINUAL complaining about alita skins, I've re-touched em to make the colors on em a LOT BRIGHTER. This'll help a lot, and if you all still feel like whining and bitching, copy a different model/skin set over the alita model/skin set. OKAY????? =)
As for linux and solaris, those builds "work like a charm" from what i've heard. I know that Plastic has had problems running the Linux build on Redhat, so Sad & Ezrith are on the prowl bughuntin. The "problems" with the linux build, as I enumerated were non-existant, but rather a little hack that Sad & Ezrith put together for some fun, and spiff was hosting. You HAVE to try it. Too much fun. =)
July 5th, 1999I M BackOkay, I'm back from vacation. Had fun.
I hopped on a server and have noticed a couple problems already.
DaveW's servers are all running 1.52 instead of 1.53... Linux builds have grenade problems and firing rate problems (not burstfire... this is more entertaining) Alita skins are WAY too dark for normal play. A skin cheat bug has been found thanks in part to a certian cheater on the servers who shall remain nameless, whom I asked to stop cheating repeatedly but did not... People complain wayyyyyy too much.
Once again, the solairs and linux build are made, HOWEVER, because of the bugs, I do NOT reccomend the linux or solaris build for public use yet. I will get on top of it ASAP and try to get it fixed. (If anyone finds Ezrith, point him towards me)
Server ops running Win9x/WinNT version 1.52 or earlier, please go to the LATEST FILES link and download the latest verison.
