Title: Submit questions for the Hard Light Productions FAQ
Post by: Setekh on February 24, 2002, 12:26:57 am
Exactly what the topic says: I'm after questions from you guys to stick in the FAQ. Questions like:

How did HLP get its name?

What is the purpose of this place?

Who - or what is this 'STEAK' everyone seems to talk about?

:D

Anyway, questions please. Thanks for your time. :)

Oooh. Good one.

A list of all the vB codes would be nice (instead of just 'color=' have a list of the useable colours (does that tag understand Hex?)).

Suggested Questions

What's the Hammer Of Justice?

What's space-crack?

Why do we need space-crack?

Is that thread supposed to give a 404 message?

Why was my thread locked/post deleted?

Suggested answers (Q1-4):

It's a huge hammer shaped space-ship that periodically decends onto the forum and uses its BFreds to incinerate our space-crack supplies.

It's an anti-aphrodisiac used by five armed space monsters.

To keep Carl from err.....well...errr.....you know.

:eek: :(

That's a good one. And it will (in theory) stop people posting threads with titles similar to the above question.

what i want to know is he ever going to release it free or market it or is it solely for his use?
Title: Submit questions for the Hard Light Productions FAQ
Post by: Corsair on February 24, 2002, 07:16:09 pm
We wish we could get our hands on it...
He'll probably never release it just so we can suffer in agony at having to use rendering programs that aren't as good.

You know, I'm seriously thinking of doing something with that. I have a mic... we have people around here who can render characters... and ships... who wants to make a production here? :D

I showed my brother and he cracked up. That's a sign of approval. ;)
