Dealt with in PM, hopefully. If you have any more problems, just post them in this thread, and remember Caps are Bad, people will tend to not reply to all Caps posts. :)

2) Click on "Modify" on your first post, then delete everything, and paste from the clipboard into your post, then hit 'Save'.
That way you're not shouting... and hurting my ears. ;)

or spamming, and making me look good :lol:

anywho, i lost count of how many times people say d3d doesent work for this kind of thing. if you want to run cutscenes in d3d, then get the .mve versions.

It's worth pointing out that this could easily be due to him having the .avi versions of the cutscenes.

ShivanSPS's torrent for instance is going to be the source of people visiting us with outdated movies for quite a while. Still it's better than them not getting FS2_Open at all :)

Too late for that, takashi. :P

Well, Turey's installer is constantly updated, innit?
Title: Re: NO VIDEO IN CUTSCENES
Post by: karajorma on March 16, 2007, 02:46:45 pm
Yep. So that won't cause as many problems but torrents don't get taken down and replaced the second they become obsolete.

besides, bittorrent eats precious bandwidth you could be wasting on multi. you think they should pin a topic notifying people to get tureys installer instead?

Yup, that's what I guessed it was when he PM'd me.

Anyway, all sorted, and I think it must have worked since there's no more posts in this thread :)

Anyone getting Shivan's torrent likely found it somewhere other than HLP so I doubt it would do much good to be honest.

3.6.10 will support trackers, right?  On PXO? or what was it called, I forgot... anyways, will it be sort of like Halo, where it connects to a master Gamespy server, and anyone hosting a game, as well as dedicated servers, are shown?  BTW, will 3.6.10 support dedicated servers?  Do you feel like reaching for the duct tape yet?  ;)
Title: Re: NO VIDEO IN CUTSCENES
Post by: karajorma on March 17, 2007, 03:43:42 am
Actually 3.6.9 supports both of those right now. It's just that 3.6.10 will do a better job of it.
Title: Re: NO VIDEO IN CUTSCENES
Post by: jr2 on March 17, 2007, 03:45:01 am
So how come more people don't play?  There's no master server willing to host?
Title: Re: NO VIDEO IN CUTSCENES
Post by: karajorma on March 17, 2007, 04:00:06 am
More people don't play because they go online and there is no one playing. So they decide multiplayer is dead and don't play.

Considering that several people register on FS2NetD every week that's pretty stupid really.
Title: Re: NO VIDEO IN CUTSCENES
Post by: jr2 on March 17, 2007, 04:02:15 am
FS2NetD is the master server, similar to gamespy for Halo, correct?
Title: Re: NO VIDEO IN CUTSCENES
Post by: karajorma on March 17, 2007, 04:22:48 am
Yep. FS2NetD provides a game tracking service similar to that but it also supplies a stat tracking service allowing pilots to keep track of the number of kills they have made etc.
Title: Re: NO VIDEO IN CUTSCENES
Post by: jr2 on March 17, 2007, 09:50:34 am
I registered, then sorted by "Last Flight"... pages 18-68 are all pilots who have never flown.  :(
Title: Re: NO VIDEO IN CUTSCENES
Post by: karajorma on March 17, 2007, 10:30:58 am
Some of them have never flown. However, if you look you'll probably see me down as one of them. I'm registered as never flown because BtRL has no validated missions or tables so no matter how many times I play I won't be appearing.

I suspect that the fact that we haven't validated the 3.6.9 tables (since we don't have them yet) is responsible for a fair number of those never flowns.
Title: Re: NO VIDEO IN CUTSCENES
Post by: jr2 on March 17, 2007, 10:39:53 am
It says you've flown, but no kills.  ;)
Title: Re: NO VIDEO IN CUTSCENES
Post by: karajorma on March 17, 2007, 11:01:40 am
Sounds about right. I flew with someone for about 30 seconds once to see if things were working.
Title: Re: NO VIDEO IN CUTSCENES

this may sound silly coming out of me, but is this trailing into another topic altogether?
Title: Re: NO VIDEO IN CUTSCENES
Post by: karajorma on March 17, 2007, 01:13:25 pm
So? The problem under discussion is solved (hopefully) and no one (apart from you) is spamming.

Why are the titles so accurate around here?

They're not, we just make it seem that way :drevil:

What do you mean by that?  You mean the user names?  Or the custom text?

Titles, as in 'Think then post' or 'Worse than Cobra' ;)

How do you change them?  I can only change the part that says "Captain Caaaaaaveman!", not the part that says "əp!sd!l£"

They are awarded by Admin for noteable behaviour, though, not always the behaviour the person would 'wish' to have noted ;) Even Moderators can't change them.

Edit : Oh. and Avatars are limited to Admin only, basically because it tends to get to the stage where pages take 15 minutes to load and contain more animated gifs than text.

Ah... I do hope if/when I get one, that it will be good!  :D

Eh, it will take a while, takashi...; you know, you don't have to be able to MOD to impress the folks here.  Just try to be helpful... if you can't change something yourself, post an IMHO about it.  And don't worry if no one agrees with you; that's okay, we're all different.  Just don't get upset about it, accept it.  Although if you can MOD, and you're just off to a rocky start, then keep plugging at it, just don't try to honk your own horn.  If you make it (right), they will come...

That might be easier if you didn't have such a long and sordid past on GW.  :doubt:

GW? try not to bring back suppressed memories in which starfox fanboyism drives one to spam.

by the way, any devs around here want a weapon pack?

*sigh* I'll take it.. I don't think any of them will.  (Not that I blame them, mind you.)  I'll see if I can evaluate it for you.
