  1. Druids kind of spoil the mood. I remember our GMs sad look when we beat an evil necromancer by spamming enlarged dire apes into his lair. ..and a random question, do sorcerers use spell components in PnP or can they just chuck out spells as they please?
  2. I was testing with my new 7900GTX and HDR really just looks like someone turned up the saturation and contrast on the textures. I think I could emulate it quite well by fiddling with the settings on my screen. the screenshots are scaled down for easier viewing, i play at 1280x1024 as my monitor likes it
  3. That doesnt sounbd like an accident to me? :) OMFG Someone is trying to murder the Hoff!!!
  4. I told you, consoles are evil! Consoles robbed Linux and Mac user of NWN2, and still noone listens to me.
  5. Then what I would do is to buy another HDD exactly the same size like the one youre using and then use your motherboard to run them in RAID 1. Then youll have two identical cloned discs meaning that if one fails, all the data will still be left on the other drive and all you need to do is to run it as a regular single HDD to access the data again. It also means you will increase the read spead of you drives as the system reads from both simulatenously. With an external USB hardrive, youll just neglect to do regular backups because itll be so slow to transfer data, and when the main HDD breaks youre left with your pants down.
  6. I liked being able to do that, saves both time and the hassle of having to have to drag around some useless thief henchman. WHat I would have asked, had I not been halway to bed when the chat started, was wether its going to be possible to create working creatures/npc's from scratch complete with animations and then import them into NWN2. So far its only been aknowledged that placeable objects will be possible.
  7. Spamming, dude? I thought we were having a debate?! "
  8. I hope this whole next generation of consoles will turn out as one gigantic fiasco. Judging from the news, that isnt entirely improbable.
  9. No, you suck!!!! Dude!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dude. I totally do not suck, man.
  10. I use WinAmp 5.05 (old) and I see no reason why I should ever use any other player. Its got everything except a proper randomizer, the algorithm it uses always picks the same 30 songs out of 5000.
  11. Well, that is just becaue you suck, Pidey
  12. 100% sure. I cant find the actual post but Electron is written in DirectX-D3D
  13. This sounds like fun. " Sure, there might be someone out there I guess. You mean someone who actually bought Doom3 and then DIDNT kill himself over wasting good money?
  14. How can you ever get enough Stephen Colbert? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9Jat-NLtq0...ephen%20colbert
  15. But sometimes you wonder what software developers are thinking with. Like how 3ds MAX8 uses DirectX to render in-program instead of OpenGL making it impossible to port it to workstations, MacOSX and Linux. Games you can understand but the above is just plain being talked to shoot yourself in the foot.
  16. I believe you are in the wronf forum, try this link instead http://swforums.bioware.com/forums/viewforum.html?forum=80
  17. I am in fact installing Linux (Kubuntu) on an older comp right now.
  18. To potentially blow new life into this discussion, Ive been playing RPG's for over ten years and when I compare my first experiences with v.2 and v.3.5 I have to say that I found the latter much easier to understand. I still dont understand how THACO works, I dont understand armour and I most of all dont understand if like 1 1/3 attacks is better or worse than 2
  19. Will my character be disclosed at the last minute like a right-before-premiere hype? edited: I did not make any embarassing slips on the keyboard while I typed this post if thats what you think "
  20. I think that once you get over the "OMFGZ0rz I gotteh p0werz!!" stage and realise youve just become the forum janitor, its not so fun anymore.
  21. That would require rewriting most of the engine from scratch, which isnt feasible. That seems really interesting, if someone finds a way to make Dx9 and maybe even Dx10 to Linux then Ill definently switch. With the comming of Windows Nazi
  22. I didnt know we needed all the extra moderators, is this preparing for the Onslaught of NWN2 ?
  23. But was that 100 certified attempts to break in or was it simply 100 instances of the firewall recieving data it did not recognise? If I log into my router and check the logs I get about one such warning every 2 minutes but that is just signals the ISP server and routers send to say hi and check if the connection works. The WinXP firewall should really be all you need unless you want to be able to precisely control what comes in and out of your computer, which most programs aimed at the common user (zonealarm etc.) dont do. It also you requires you to know a great deal about TCP/IP and other protocols to be able to interpret the information you get.
  24. But the point is that a backup HDD needs to last not a few weeks, not a few months, but years and years. So none of the cheap stuff will do.
