NAB622

I cant quite remember now since it was so long ago, but I may well have left you and a couple of others on the staff list. I seem to remember when I was made aware of the login bug I left any retiring staff on the list just in case, since removing and re-adding them later on would have stopped their login from working.

 

I remember at the time you said you were pressed for time, a few other staffers left for similar reasons so its nothing to worry about! You were one of my best staffers, in fact, didn't you do some HTML stuff on some of the pages on the site like the rules page to spruce them up? I ended up kitbashing that on several other pages in an effort to make things look a little prettier!

I did some HTML work, yeah....but not much. If I recall correctly, the images I used were hotlinked from my website, because the file and picture uploading part of OPS was broken at that time too.

Enough about me, this thread's about you. It's nice to see you back!

Stick around. I've got some stuff you might be interested in.

I could add the persons name to the staff list, and they would get the email for their OPS login, but the login would not work. The only work around was a Network Admin account that was kept spare, that trusted members could use to log in if necessary, however despite my requests they would not allow any new staffers to use this account. It makes sense really, for obvious security reasons, giving a completely new staff member Network Administrator access. However i seem to remember they were reluctant to allow returning previous staff members to use it also, unless they had been staff previously for quite some time. Unfortunately a lot of the longest serving and most trusted staffers had long since moved on or were not contactable.

Wow.........I might have tried my login, if I knew that was happening, because I don't think it was ever removed....but the most I could have done would be to give someone else access with it. Definitely didn't have enough time.

Like i said above, i've been through a similar situation before, and what they were coming up with was terrifying! It would have seen JKFiles turned into something that looked like a glorified blog!

Oh my word.......don't remind me! I remember seeing the proposed changes. Ugh. Glorified blog is putting it nicely - it was far worse than a blog, nigh unreadable.

And then everyone started photoshopping *hundreds* of design proposals of their own and started arguing and it got funny.  Poor n0e.

Oh, I noticed. I just don't think a slogan is the answer. They're often very tacky is all.

Nah, there's no need for a slogan..........slogans are part of this "Modern restaurant makeover" trend that I utterly despise. Padding > Slogans IMHO, and I really don't like padding that much either.

It looks awesome. Very nice detailing and lighting. The only thing that bothers me is the blocky shadows - is there any chance you could ramp up the lightmapscale somewhat?

Just a thought, but if you haven't already, try snapping the offending vertices on both patches to the grid (Ctrl +G). It's worth a shot. *Shrug*

Wow, there was a bug that didn't even let you hire staff? That's terrible......I can't say I'm surprised, but wow. I wonder if my old login would have worked. I never tried it past a certain point.

Anyhow, it's nice to see another person with some modding expertise and passion here!

Yes, that was me, although I didn't talk about it much within the community. I'm not entirely sure why, I guess I just didn't want attention.

Hey Noz.

It's been a long time for many of us. I'd forgotten just how many people I knew. Glad to see we still share a love of JK3.

Well well. More familiar faces popping up.

But.......why would you ever remove a feature, especially with no recourse? No matter how useless it is to you, I've seen it repurposed into very useful things before.

I find the very notion of removing anything from this game absolutely absurd. Besides, isn't there a CVar that disables it?

In my opinion, another thing we need is for some of the celebrated modders of the past to stay active. These people have a lot to offer, it would keep morale going, and they can help the next generation of peeps.

But unfortunately, most of the well known ones from the days of JO and early days of JA have moved on with life. I didn't even get to meet most of them, and I joined this community in....2005 I think.

So.....I'm also stuck. I have so many strange issues that I can't even run 1.4 or 1.5 on my computer. And this is a fresh install of Windows, too.....

Unfortunately, I also can't figure out how to get a game pack for Radiant 1.6.4. Do I need to fall back to 1.6.3? I tried copying over my old game pack from 1.4, but it didn't work.

EDIT: I just figured out the bug in Radiant 1.4 - apparently, I have to have the window slightly off the right side of the screen to be able to use the 3D window. That makes no sense whatsoever. At least it's working for now. But I am still quite interested in getting 1.6 running.

Weren't enough guidelines and discussions before launching into construction. Certain people(person) weren't willing to cooperate and would rather have had 40 percent of the map deleted than make a compromise that would improve the final quality of the level.

 

Attitudes like that will doom a project every single time.

Yes, but......if I may......your replies to him weren't helping matters. At all. I don't care if you were right or not (I didn't open the map to check), but you were certainly not willing to compromise in any way and end the argument.

If you're anything like me, you weren't trying to seem rude, and it just came across that way....but really, especially in an argument, you need to watch what you're saying. A few things you said came across as quite cold. I don't blame Mug for dropping out.

@@AshuraDX Welcome back YOUR FACE!

Yeah, depending on what goes down, I might be back for a goooood, long time.  B)

Nice to see you too, along with a lot of other familiar faces!

Gmail + android. Best e-mail solution I've ever used. I migrated away from Yahoo mail yeaaaaars ago.

What's up with people and scratched discs? You guys must not take very good care of your belongings, I have original PS and PC games from the time of release and they're still flawless.

Bad CD drives can scratch them up, as well as simply setting them on a desk and accidentally bumping it a few centimeters.

Kind of funny, I dug out my copied disc labeled "JA 1" and it actually had a hole in it (shipping damage). But it still started the game just fine.

IF the project is still on, I'll keep an eye on it, and offer script assistance and minor tweaks here and there. Can't say I'd take a full segment or anything due to time, for the moment.

Really, though.....let's not get discouraged as a group from a disagreement, hm? This stuff happens in group projects.

Sup NAB, how about that TPCv4?

How.....subtle of you. XD

Should totally do it under the guise of finding all the bugs in the modified source code. In fact, that wouldn't be a bad idea, since Phred told me multiple times how good TPCv3 was at finding bugs in the Lugormod code.

NAB I LOVE YOU WELCOME BACK I WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY214234134

<3

It's been a CRAZY ride since 2009.......been through hell twice over and back, and still alive. So much stuff.........

Gah, whoever is going over the source...sometime I need to get in touch, even if it's just to talk about it! I'm not skilled enough to code but I have a bigtime knack for finding bugs and stuff - and boy do I have a loooong list of oddball bugs that should be fixed (Don't we all)!

..........I am now watching this game with intense interest once again.

WOW, this is a good day. This game's about to be one of the biggest open source games ever.

I will take your "old"comment figuratively...

To me, it's old. I'm 23 now and I've been doing this since I was 16. It feels old. XD

Oh yeah? Who's the baby face NOW?

I'll be sticking around.

...STICK YOU!
