« on: January 15, 2012, 02:21:16 pm »
How can I fix this?

But I want the sweet, sweet goblinite! (I also want the thrill of my sweet, sweet bansaws hacking through flesh  :P  )

Game looks sweet. Mix of Borderlands and Tribes. It is made by Blizzard ex-employees like Mark Kern (team lead on WoW) and William Petras (art director on WoW) and Scott Youngblood (lead designer on Tribes 1 and 2).
Here is link to their site: http://www.firefallthegame.com/

Few points from FAQ on their forum:

Is Firefall an MMO?

No. Firefall is first and foremost an action shooter. We incorporated a lot of elements that you might find in various genres, including MMOs, but it is not an MMO in the traditional sense.

How much will Firefall cost to play?

We are so excited about Firefall that we want to make sure everyone can play it and join their friends in the game. When Firefall releases, it will be available online for download and play for absolutely free.

Will there be a subscription fee?

Absolutely not. We do not feel that a subscription fee best suits the style of game we are creating.

How do you plan to make money?

We plan to offer a marketplace for Firefall that will offer players items to enhance their gaming experience. We are adamantly against selling anything that might compromise the skill-based aspect of the game.

When Beta will start I'm sure to sign up.

FireFall is an upcoming FPS/TPS Sci Fi MMORPG from Red5 Studios. Like League of Legends and Battlefield Heroes, it will be completely free to play (with a few microtransations for non-game changing things)

Backstory:

Quote
Earth will never be the same. After the Crystite Wars, humanity inadvertently invited the worst enemy ever conceived: THE MELDING. It surrounds us. It forces us to live in pockets of land protected only by the accidental discovery of repulsor technology. We continue to fight for land. For technology. For power. For our very survival. JOIN THE FIGHT. FIREFALL is a team-based action shooter. Join your friends in an epic online campaign across a vast open world to stop the Melding and fight for the survival of humanity against the army of the Chosen. Advance your army and character through technological upgrades. Level up different character classes. Compete for supremacy in various multiplayer game types. Push back the Melding. SAVE EARTH

Gameplay-
FireFall is an open world shooter RPG with team based elements. It has a Borderland's-esque cartoony graphics style, and like Borderlands, has you go out with friends to fight off all kinds of alien nasties as you complete missions and find resources. The game has modular armor and weapons, allowing you to upgrade them with custom abilities and firemodes as you progress through the game. Your character can also find things like backpacks that they can attach to their armor to give them abilities such as an electric shockwave, a healing pulse, or even wings to glide with.

DF General Discussion / Who else misses the rapid updates?
« on: October 21, 2011, 01:08:27 am »
As the title says, who else misses having updates every 2-3 days?
I for one am not liking the gap between 0.31.25 and 0.31.26... (Or maybe 0.32! :P )

Life Advice / Computer experts, I need your help!
« on: August 13, 2011, 11:20:39 pm »
Whenever I try to launch the new Solar 2 game, I get the error "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
The trouble is that, when I can launch these programs JUST FINE in safe mode, I am going to do a full virus scan after this post, but I want to know what could be causing this.

I am using Windows XP Service Pack 3, since I know that will (hopefully) ward away the "solutions" for windows 7 and stuff...

I have tried a lot of shit, from renaming the files, to giving myself COMPLETE control over every single file on my computer. I am getting nowhere, fast.
(Though, there is one possible solution I have not tried, which involves transferring the NTuser.dat file from the hidden admin profile...)

To pre-emptively clarify, right clicking the program and going to properties yields no "unblock" button.

I have included my current state for the hydras... but they do not appear in the list when I try to embark...
Do I need to add them to creature_domestic.txt?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / What's your Dwarven Birth Control like?
« on: August 04, 2011, 11:20:27 pm »

I do it with a 13-level pit with ~20 puppy corpses...

On second thought... Should I name it "Dwarven Birth Control"?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Directional keys "repeating" when game is going..?
« on: August 03, 2011, 10:01:48 pm »
Firstly, I am using the pre-packaged version of Dwarf Fortress Advanced (I could not resist the temple to Armok!)

When I tap the keys while it is running, the screen moves twice*, instead of once.
When I pause it, everything works just fine, no double-moving at all.
I am asking for help because it makes it tedious and time consuming to select things...

*Figure subject to variation... moves 3 times sometimes...

edit: to pre-empt speculation, my dorfs are moving fine, and not lagging in the slightest, it's just my display stuttering when I tell it to move over...

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Game speed
« on: July 28, 2011, 09:36:18 pm »
Is there a way to speed up the game, other than something like cheat engine? If so, please make a walkthrough :)

Using the Phoebius tileset, how do I look for them? I have yet to notice what a volcano looks like.
