Hello, have been for about 2 weeks already on this forum (since found out that BW existed), and since seems I'll be around here for some time decided to add a post here too.

I'm from Spain (sorry for the bad English I write sometimes), dont't really play many games, but sometimes find something that I think its good enough to be worth of my time so that's why I'm here. Also did some programming of mods (quake 2 and 3 tho, not unreal related and nothing serious) and from time to time work on my own small computer game projects. I'm not good at playing games, and seems writing introductions isnt better either.

Since don't know what else related add here, this was all the introduction for now.

Your English is really good, actually.

Welcome and may your posts be many and your times joyous.

And Don't take the down elevator. Goes a down bit deeper than was planned and we accidentally created a gateway to Hell from it.

X is right, your English is much better than some of the user's who first join.

Well, welcome to the forums, enjoy yourself, and who cares if your good or not at computer games, as long as you love Ballistic Weapons and its devs... then your fine.

Greetings from Me im Da mapper here you should download some....

Welcome to the forums, atc.
Funny how you chose the name of a European techno band as your username by the way.

Didn't know there existed a techno band with that name.

Seems there exist a german gorup with a name that has those initials indeed, just found that on the wikipedia

Whats the group called and what type of music do they play?

The group is called ATC and plays techno.
You should try read posts sometime.

lol

Welcome

Welcome, ATC, and you are always welcome to join the small cult of Metal Music in this forum. Oh, and have fun before I ask for brain pie! Care to donate?

That's not my speech, the brain pie thing. I learned it from TESIV: Oblivion: Shivering Isles.

If you ask for a donation, it is not guaranteed he's gonna say yes.

Drats, why wouldn't anyone sacrifice their brain for gourmet cuisine? I mean, without the brain, you will be a zombie! Isn't that great?

Without a brain you would be dead.

Zombies still need brains. Thats why a blow to the head generally kills them in games.

Welcome to Runestorm, act

Hi ATC. Make sure to pickup armaments at the booth...

Unless you try the surgical experience of the Runestorm Team. I hope atc isn't throwing up about brain pie.

Nothing is gonna replace the brain, unless you create the most complex processor ever made. Something needs to replace those hundreds of billions of neuro-cells.

Actually more wondering how this thread ended about zombies and replacing the brain

Hello and welcome to our humble corner of hell

Howdy and welcome to the administrative section of hell...

You speak better english than some of our self proclaimed english speakers...

I also coded Q2 mods, that where our real asscent into modding hell was...

Oh, don't worry about the zombies... Zombies are fixated on zombies and brains...

I think you're one of the first spanids around here.

Maybe it is just me, but does someone else notice that the people who say hello are rare to reach over 50 posts and the ones who don't say hello are sailing over 2000?

This is actually the forum where I have the most posts now, for exactly 1 post atm
Reaching 2000 posts seems impossible for me, I'm of those that read but post few. But reaching 50 is a matter of time, just a few years, ... who knows

Anyways, will be off for a week or two more, since my pc fried and seems I need to buy a new one.

And finally back, with new pc, took a bit more than expected, but dont have much free time lately.

What are the specs of the new PC?

Newer components: 1GB ddr2 667, core2 E6420 planned for possible OC later, p5n-e sli (nforce 650), geforce 8600 512mb
The remaining where old ones that already had before.
Using 64 bit GNU/Linux as OS (Debian)

Why only 1 GB of memory? That is a absolute minimum these days.

rarely used the 512 had before (only ut2004 + bw was the one that needed more iirc), my current maximum usage is 308 mb. Put 1gb instead of 512 just in prevision for UT3 and for BW If UT3 really needs more than 1GB still can add another one when needed

Maybe you don't know this, but computer games happen to use memory as well.

Doom 3 uses well over 512 at high settings, UT2004 performs multiple times faster with 1 GB than 512 and STALKER requires 1 GB or it will barely operate at all.

So yes, UT3 will want 1.5 - 2 GB as a minimum.

You have a very strange idea of how memory usage goes, but now you know better.
