Hi, I'm Lappy! + a serious bug report

Posted by Lappy

Hi, I'm Lappy! ParaSait's pet laptop! :3
My boss asked me to write this message because he can't login anymore. :'(
He did something stupid and somehow his username seems to have changed into ParaSait' (WITH the quote). And now he can't login anymore since it gives an ODBC syntax error.
He can still login under ParaSait'' but then the rest of all pages is bugged. So he's pretty much screwed. Could any nice admin change it into ParaSait again? :D

I also suggest that this should be fixed, cause a ' in a username is quite easily done. ParaSait has a ton of other bug reports related to the forum, but it's too much to sum up and it's quite sensitive to reveal to the public so I suggest you see him on the irc. :P

Byeness! ~\(^^,)

Meteor 2 Boss Test Mod Release

This mod would probably be a bit more fun if there were more than one weapon, and maybe a clever way you could do extra damage to the boss dude. As it is, we're pretty much just shooting him 10000 times, and that kinda gets old =)

Topic title bug

Posted by ParaSait

Just noticed this little thingy:
If you're viewing a topic on ThreadView.asp, it'll always show the title "James' Games Site Forum - " with appearantly nothing after the -.
It does work for the topic lists so it must be a bug.

What you want posted yo Moddb?

This is a funny mod. I was somewhat disappointed that I didn't get to fight the tank.
I'd suggest when you eat part of your gun you actually lose one of your gun segments randomly once you've run out of gun parts to eat. =)

I've been sent a response from Derek, notifying me of what licence Trideja's music is under.

Yes, our music is under the demoscene license. Loosely translated:

Split screen play

Thu, 22 Apr 2010 05:10:41 GMT

Posted by DRL

Split screen play has been mentioned much before. It's not looking like its gonna happen. Sorry dude.

Customizable controls would be nice. Even though I do like the controls now, it would be good to touch them up yourself.

MP AI-Players are somethings ive been planning for M2. I'm not quite sure how it will work out. But im hoping to find a way in which you could type in a command in the console that will spawn a player object that will be controlled by either waypoints or roaming AI. But you could also make an object that looks like the player, has the same health as the player, except only uses one weapon mount. It may not be just as good, but it would still be somewhat fun.

Square root in Meteor 2 scripting?

me_mantis(keens) wrote:
Lemme know how that sqrt thing works. I'm interested.

I don't remember the M2 script syntax very clearly, but here's a c++ implementation of arezey's method:

float precision = 0.001; // The smaller, the more precise, but the more cpu intensive

float squareroot(float start)
{
	float oldnum = start; // Define x0
	float newnum = oldnum / 2; // Define x1, taking the half to start with
	while(oldnum - newnum > precision) // Keep repeating till the difference between xn and xn+1 is but a fraction
	{
		oldnum = newnum; // old number is now the previously new one
		newnum = 0.5 * (oldnum + (start / oldnum)); // The calculation
	}
	return newnum; // return the result
}

Haven't tested it, but that should do it I guess.
However, I'm not quite sure how it's going to work in Meteor scripts cause if I understood it right, there are some problems with float division..?

What makes a game fun?

Tue, 6 Apr 2010 02:03:05 GMT

Posted by Hightree121

Actually, Crysis is pretty fun. I also have this and it is quite possibly the best first person shooter that I have seen. It is awesome being able to knock down buildings with your hands or throwing an explosive barrel at someone only to detonate it in mid air, or picking the enemies up and throwing them at each other. Of course the plasma cannon in the end is an EPIC bonus. The only thing that bothers me is the seemingly unfinished storyline. First person shooter wise, it is only second to Outcast (if it is even classifiable as a FPS). (Maybe I should start a game review thread...)
