A Wanderer Returns
on: September 20, 2015, 06:01:50 pm
Dear all,

I left the scene about 5 years ago and I am pleased to find you guys still alive and kicking! General Battuta! Droid803! Gosh you guys are still there!

I'd like to get back to playing. I'll have to do a fresh install obviously. Any tips?

Best,

Dilip

Welcome back. :)
"We have now reached the point where every goon with a grievance, every bitter bigot, merely has to place the prefix, 'I know this is not politically correct, but...' in front of the usual string of insults in order to be not just safe from criticism, but actually a card, a lad, even a hero. Conversely, to talk about poverty and inequality, to draw attention to the reality that discrimination and injustice are still facts of life, is to commit the sin of political correctness. Anti-PC has become the latest cover for creeps. It is a godsend for every curmudgeon and crank, from fascists to the merely smug."

Use the installer that Battuta linked to, that probably wasn't around/working last time if you haven't been here for five years.

What did you enjoy last time you were here?

Actually, five years ago, wasn't it called Turey's Installer?  I think that's when he got it running.

Jan 2009, so yeah, perhaps.

Well, five years ago would actually be September of 2010, and a replacement for Turey's installer seems to have been desired since late July or Early August of 2010, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"I am one of the best FREDders on Earth" -General Battuta

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.
