Re: RB3D continued

So, you Deleted RBPREFS.DAT Started Red Baron Alt+Tab'd out of Red Baron while it was running Turned on the Read-Only attribute of RBPREFS.DAT ? If you don't have sound to begin with, this won't fix it.

Re: Screamer 2

Paul, might I suggest the obvious? Implement a framerate limiter, specifiable in OpenGLid.ini. Default to 60fps. I was going to say switch the refresh rate of the monitor depending on what the framerate limit was set to, but I think it would be a better idea to have it run at the maximum refresh …

Hah. Yeah. Right. My school has a whopping one computer class, and the stupid fuckers teach PYTHON -- as a PROGRAM LANGUAGE! I didn't even think that you could DO OOP with Python. Oh yeah, they're all fucking Macs with fucking OS9. It's terrible. Python is for preprocessing, not for creating games. …

Re: Promise RAID hell!

Nope, actually, I hooked up my two RAID-0 drives to my RAID-5 controller as two slaves and the thing recognized and configured the array without a hitch. I'm now running DriveCopy 4 to do a direct copy of the drive. Unfortunately, it's only going at ~60MB/*minute*. Trust me when I say this isn't …

How exactly is it possible to have an entire class dedicated to DNS? That's rediculous. I can sum up most of DNS in a short paragraph: DNS maps domain names to IP addresses. DNS servers refresh their information on each domain as specified in the domain's TTL records. Lookups for tier-2 DNS servers …

The card is ATA/133 read, ATA/100 write. Don't ask me how that works. Are you sure about needing the same controller? I would think that controllers by the same manufacturer would use the same lookup stuff. Maxtor is shipping SATA drives now, and I think there are SATA RAID controllers, though …

Wow, that was so... not at all helpful. RAID is good... when it works. This RAID-5 array is excellent because it's speedy and redundant. Too bad I can't get my data on it. That would make it much better. 😁

Re: Game Test Notes: 7th Guest

Been there, done that. I've already got the UHS Reader and all UHS files available. As a note: UHS 5 is a joke. There is shit+1 new about it and is NOT worth the $$ to upgrade from 4.x. Just thought I'd let you know. :P EDELBEB: I've attached a new saved game with everything except attic puzzles and …

Promise RAID hell!

in Milliways
Agh! I am going to shoot someone! I just received my hard drives -- four 80GB Maxtors -- and proceeded to install them. The footprint for the RAID card is huge -- there is only one PCI slot I can fit it in because otherwise it hits the hard drives. This required me to juggle all my PCI cards around. …

Re: This New Server

in Milliways
It should be pretty solid ... much moreso than the last server, which was full of holes. Inevitably it's less secure than a workstation because it is a server with open ports for various services, but that isn't a very large security risk since everything is configured well.
