Mask's Woodsboro updated

[the_mask]

Hi,

 

since there is a Site Updates thread, I thought I might as well write this here

 

I uploaded 4 new fighter for Rebellion yesterday on my page:

 

E-Wing v2

T-Wing

Missile Boat

Tie Chiss

[Guest Scathane]

Very nice! How does the Golan III batlle station work? Can it travel from planet to planet?

[TK421]

Yes. It uses the new Cardassian Time Warp technology, and it uses that to shape shift and actually 'transform' at the new location!

(well, you can make the thing do whatever you want, but I believe it basically doesn't have high sublight capabilities, perhaps it does have Hyperspace)

[Trejiuvanat]

You can set its sublight drive as low as 1 and its hyperspace as high as 180.

But that are just the RebEd limitations, perhaps by editing the DAT files for ships, it'd be possible to put the stats at 0.

[the_mask]

Yeah, you can hex-edit the values to 0, but they also have "backup-drives" and if you click on the card in RebEd again, the default value of 1 will be there again

 

Looking into vakundok's mechanics-thread should help

 

I wanted to write a program to fix that a while ago, but I can only continue with that after my exams are done (Oct, 1.)

[Guest Scathane]

Which exams are those, Mask?

[the_mask]

And on next Wednesday (Oct. 1.):

 

a combination of

 

-Operating systems and

-Datacommunication and networks

 

I'm getting more and more tired each day. Yesterday I even took a nap during the day, which is somethin I usually never have to do, due to the intravenus coke supply I have

That means either that I'm getting old, or that I should sleep a day or two again (Maybe during the weekend)

[Trejiuvanat]

Where are you studying Mask? It strikes me odd that you should be having exams at the beginning of the Wintersemester....

[Guest Scathane]

Hey, the guy is embarking on an IT-related education...; odd is normal in their terms... Edited October 3, 2003 by Scathane

[the_mask]

Yeah, the usual stuff is like sorting the strands of fate (nordic mytholgy) while someone hits you with a book containing mathematic formulas.

 

The explanation, why we have to write the exams at the end of our semester break is also odd at best.

Our line of education was first introduced to the uni as part of the electrotechnicians, but developed into a regular one. The electronics chief prof. used to have his students write part of the exams right after the semester and the rest at the end of the semester break.

Actually nobody knows, why they still keep it up

[the_mask]

Fixed the link for RebEd 0.26 and uploaded Smacker 3.0 again.

[ElvisMiggell]

What's SMACKER?

[Guest Scathane]

It's an app with which you can view movie files from games...

[the_mask]

... and compress new ones into a format Rebellion can play. As with the movies I'm creating for the TC

[ElvisMiggell]

I really ought to download that then i suppose!

[Elfboy]

Hey Mask, I tried getting to your site and it didn't work. I used the link on this site, got to the opening page, selected "English Please" and clicked on "I understand". Then a nearly blank screen came up and I could not get anything more.

Just wondering if you where still having problems or is the problem somehow on my end.

[Guest JediIgor]

Just thought I would let you know that it's fine for me!

[Texas_Fett]

Okay, I've heard the rumors, read the reviews...but I can't access your site. I always get a popup and a "Page Cannot be Displayed" message. Are there any kind of browser changes I need to make on my end?

[Chimera]

ditto...

 

and I NEED that chiss tie and missle boat for my TC!

[the_mask]

Um, Chimera, I already PMed you a link to the Tie Chiss, didn't you read it ?

 

Anyways, Gentlemen and Lady I just uploaded my site .... again

Everything's on it, 'cept the cards. They are being overhauled at the moment. You never know when that provider will also be broke and shut down without warning, so get these files while they're hot

 

Btw, now you can also download the two new fighters, that I wanted to have in the X-mas update.

 

Also my three redirectors should work again: http://kickme.to/woodsboro/, http://error404.at/woodsboro/ and http://move.to/woodsboro/

 

My work is done, like TK wrote two hours earlier today: good night y'all.

[Texas_Fett]

Excellent Site, Mask! It definitely lives up to the hype!

 

Question, though: I assume your models are the same ones found in the downloads section here?

[the_mask]

That's right.

But if my provider goes broke again and shuts his site down, without notifying their users, you can still get them here

Btw, take a look at the fighters, too.

[Texas_Fett]

Oh, I've been lookin' at 'em, that's for sure! I just haven't gotten up the courage to change 'em yet. Well, that and I'm pretty happy with the fighters as-is; I mean, most battles you don't zoom in enough to really see the fighters. It would be cool if you could use a .gif to create the illusion of motion in the fighter, or use a sprite that changed in relation to the designated target. I.E., the fighter would bank/turn a certain way depending on it's relative position to the target.

[TK421]

Wow, did that stupid bar work?

I really don't get the point of that thing

[the_mask]

Bar ? What bar ?

You sure you posted in the right thread, TK ?
