-

thanks, did you email [email protected]
-
Nope, but I will now! :)
-
truespace doesn't seem to like them :(
-
They're uncompressed AVIs - that was the only way I was able to keep the same quality as the ANI. Anything else I tried - DivX slow or fast motion, DivX 4, even the old Intel codecs - they all lost a lot of animation data. Do you know specifically what AVI codec TS does like?
-
no idea
don't you have a copy of it, just try out a few untill they work, honestly the quality isn't that important I just didn't want the 8 bit looking crap aniveiw makes, as long as no one would notece the diference in an animation, I will like it
and it's good to know you're still alive, I was worried with all the hell getting raised over there
-
Hmm, I do have TS5, but I'm not sure I know how to use AVI's as textures... I'll have to look into it.
And yeah, the situation over here is really messed up, but I'm alive and well.
-
Well, if you think about it though, you're probably one of the safest people in that whole city,
Those bustards kill children at birthday parties, not soldiers with big ass guns
and you aply it like you would any normal texture, just put in AVI insted of BMP (or what ever you're image file formatt of choise is)

Actually, no more gun for me. :) I've finished with reserves for this year, thank God! :)
I'll give it a try when I get the chance, dude.

Right, I realize this is seriously OT, and somewhat at risk of becoming personally offensive to some people, but, as an Israeli, do you agree with what your government is doing? (No I'm not condoning suicide attacks by Palestinians, I'm just curious about how he, as an Israeli, fells about the actions of his government, who are at least as much to blame as the Palestineans.)
-
um, isn't the whole problem over there steming from the fact that Israel was atacked then faught back and took some land as a buffer, then the people that were living in that land started fighting the Israelis. it seems the people that atacked Israel would be the most responsable. the actions they have been taking recently is only after a year and a half of major violence and more recently nearly dayly atacks on Israeli CIVILIANS. what would you do,
I know what I'd do, I'd go in and find the people I thought were organising this threat, keep doing that untill ether I had the entire populating in a giant prison or the violence stoped, they won't even give Israel a week, hell they won't even give a day, that is all Israel asked for to begin talks for Israel to give them there own state, wich is what these people want right,
now sure the settlements in Gaza and the west bank, that was probably a bad idea, but what has Israel done that is even half as bad as what the Palestineans
If Arafat was realy looking for peace, he wouldn't have called for this uprising in the first place,
if they wern't so intent on killing any Israeli they come upon they'd probly have Plaistine back by now. are you going to disagree with me on this, two years ago this was offered, and refused, I can't beleve that in two years they couldn't have ironed out the details :sigh:

Ohhh - don't get me started!!! Grrr...! :p ;)
Just kidding. :D
Well, just last week I finished a month-long stint in the army reserves here, near Ramallah. I'll be brutally honest: I really do feel for the truly innocent Palestinians; the PA is not a pleasant regieme to live under. In the paper I saw a picture of the public lynching and hanging of a palestinian who was suspected of collaborating with Israel.
I've been positioned at checkpoints where hundreds, if not thousands, of Palestinians pass through en route to work or school - I've helped cause some of the horrific traffic jams that simply cause many to turn around and stay home that day. It's truly a bad situation.
But don't get me wrong: I'm hardly rooting for the palestinians. I realize that among them are a bit more than a few who actively participate in terrorisim against Israel. And although these terrorists hide and operate literally from amongst the masses, the masses - in general - cheer them on.
My neighborhood, Gilo, has been repeatedly shot at and mortared by terrorists operating among the Arab-Christian village of Beit Jala. The people of the village don't want them there, as it's their houses that get shot back at, but they can't exactly kick out men with guns who don't want to be kicked out.
Now, realize that I am also a Christian, and I see the cause of this conflict rooted in religion, but I'll try to keep my response away from that. :p
I see the cause of this violence in the educational system of the PA, who teach their children that becoming a suicide bomber to take out some Zionist scum is the greatest honor in the world, and into the afterlife. The PA media constantly broadcasts (or they did, until we took out some of their radio stations) perversive material against Israel.
So to answer your question, I feel that my government only recently, when it moved into Area A (Tul-Karem, Ramallah, etc), has been doing enough. We are fighting a war against terrorisim, terrorisim which is deeply rooted in a supportive and encouraging regeime (sp?). Such a war cannot be won defensively. And unfortunately, the terrorists use hapless civillians as human shields, which makes it impossible to avoid collateral damage.
Israel has never targeted innocent civillians, only known terrorists. When we bomb a relevant building, we provide the PA with warning so they can get their people out of there. We are fighting a just as much of a war in the world media as we are here on the ground, a war in which the Palestinians have the upper hand and a pitying eye. What the world needs to realize is that our war is against terrorisim and the government that supports it.
Anyways, sorry for the rant, but I guess I've been waiting for someone to ask me something like that for a long time. :p Maybe we should start a politics board here... ;)

Wrong. They have their own state - Jordan! What they want is to push the Jews into the sea - aa goal which they share with all the ARab nations surrounding us. We (Israel) are living blasphemy of Islam, because of all the wars we've fought and won against those nations. And if the God of Israel has defeated allah repeatedly, how can allah be the one true god?

Well, you see, unbeknownst to the majority of humans on the planet, all the worlds top politicians are actually bio-morphed cats from outer-space. They think they are benevolent, but they have a hard time putting their money where their mouths are.
