Title: There should be some updates soon...
Post by: Setekh on December 13, 2001, 03:12:00 am

...because I've made a new background for MT that Styxx should be parading around any... errr, moment now.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Hey, this should be on the Internal Board Where All Secret Neat Stuff About Machina Terra Is Discussed™ (or IBWASNSAMTIS™, for short), and not here!

Anyways, I've already tested it in-game, and it looks good. Really good. It's just that my comp is trying to stay alive hanging to the net through a puny dial-up connection (which keeps crashing, by the way), so I can't update the site nor upload anything (my connection here at work blocks ssh ports, dammit). Expect updates soon, though - most probably still tonight.

Damn dude, that's sucky. And we can't do much about it, either  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/redface.gif)

...I suppose you could snailmail me a 1.44mb disk to me with the files on it... probably take a couple of months to get here... that'll be a record time for uploading a ~150k file  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

And it's would be the first intercontinental FloppyNet™.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Damn, I'm using the ™ char too much lately...

Thats just a sign of gloablisation... and the destruction of it...

What sort of background is this?

Title: There should be some updates soon...
Post by: Styxx on December 15, 2001, 07:57:00 am

For now, just nebulae, suns, planets, etc. We have some nice plans for different stuff, though.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Is it pants, or toast? I prefer toast. Mmmmmm, toast. TOAST!

Post by: IceFire on December 15, 2001, 08:13:00 pm

Actually, its a nebula.  Usually nebulas don't consist of pants or toast...but there's a first thing for everything.

You could try to implement RFC 1149. It might be a bit slower than dial-up, but if you can find another point to connect to you could theoretically have unlimited bandwidth...

RFC 1149... 'A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers'.
