How long did you let the update be before you killed it?

Try repatching, and if that doesn't work, uninstall BF2, reinstall it, get the latest patch from the official site, and try repatching it with that.

Edit: oh, never mind then.

Oh, you didn't say that you couldn't get to the OS anymore :P.

Is the drive partitioned nicely, or just a sloppy mess?

Temptations - Lean on Me

Can't swear to the artist name being correct, heh.

You sure you don't have any SATA ports on your motherboard that you just don't use?

Try reinstalling all the drivers you can. Any libraries/filenames mentioned in the BSOD?

Have a look at the running processes with the [m]supreme[/m] Process Explorer. Post a list from the proggy if poss.

Yanks.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge

Yeah. I'm not sure what constitutes proof in philosophy or biology.

Science: accept that we don't know some things, and might never.
Religion: make stuff up and take it very seriously, killing lots of people over pointless arguments.

Possibly. Read/search the ZHLT changelog :).

Thank God :).

Republicans motto are more like "Let the individual make his own decisions", no?

I was under the impression so. I thought the ultimate left-wing party considered society as a whole alone, while the ultimate right-wing party respected only the individual (which isn't really government at all, surely).

Depends on the compile tools you use, to my knowledge. Recent ZHLT builds require one light_environment alone.

So you're saying that you have never had your opinion changed on any subject by anyone? That you've never learnt anything from anybody else?

You're referring to my "free will" bit?

I think ZL made a very good point with the upbringing part, which is something I regularly question myself. Is there actually any such thing as free will, or is everything determined by chance reactions in the brain and other peoples' opinions? Something to ponder. My Phyics teacher mentioned a French philosopher who considered the same thing, and turned control of his life over to a die, or similar, assigning half the values to, say, bad things, and half to good, and then doing 'what the die said'.

I think Communism (everybody works equal, everybody recieve equal) Demorcractic ( goverment stays out of peoples lives for the most part) and Republican ( Goverment helps people further) are all very good goverments. So why are all so corrupted, Men (mankind, not men in general)

I thought Republicans were more right-wing, who believe in interfering less, for better or worse?

Religion drives a minority to do some pleasant things, such as our own BL, who I believe participates in such schemes as Domiciles for the Destitute/similar, and those to whom Kasperg referred. Yeah, that's mildly nice, but society'd be rather better if more people did it out of kindness, etc., rather than because a bloke in a dress and some dead monks threaten them with eternal burning.

Look what modern science has done for us. Without this becoming an economic argument, the life expectancies in developed countries are far greater than they were, say, in the seventeenth century, when religion was generally taken pretty seriously. Has religion cured smallpox or developed antibiotics? Think how much further science could have progressed without the religious a) wasting their own time, and b) harassing those whose quest for knowledge and curiosity furthered the human race.

I think religion today is just a lazy alternative to learning. People go "whoa, that's too complicated. Probability? I'd rather believe that everything is controlled by a lovely friendly man with a big beard. Yay, now I feel safe and warm.". Very mature. If you don't understand what you can see in front of you, what on earth makes you so arrogant and stupid as to think you can understand all of existance?

On a similar note, how can you be so abominably conceited as to think that everyone who follows a different religion to you is completely wrong and stupid and evil, etc., etc., and doomed? Come on, that is sheer idiocy. Think about what you're doing.

Anyone who professes to understand life is lying, but so what? There is no way to live your life other than based on what you sense around you.

Stop being so ignorant and cowardly, and do something useful.

Since you asked so nicely.

Circa de cinquenta, I believe. Fifty, right?

Re-post this, coherently, in the appropriate forum.

eels - 16 Tons

Sweet.

Unless you were using a crappy reduction algorithm. Try using a better program for reducing the colour depth.

"Saint Nick" is a term I've heard synonymously with "Santa Claus", along with "Mery Christmas". I think we stole the German "Santa Klaus", but maybe they stole it from Italy or Spain, with the "Santa" bit.

Yeah, I'm pretty good.

And what's Sinterklaas?

Sounds very similar to "Santa Claus", although he's a person rather than an event.

If you use Wally for image editing, yes.

You can also just drag and drop the (saved) textures from an Explorer instance onto Wally.

No, 'cos I don't have AMX installed. I preferred AdminMod when I ran a CS server... I actually wanted to play CS, not some weird other silly script game.

Just seems a bit pointless when you can just change map. Suppose it's a little quicker.

Yeah; don't try and run the map automatically at the end of the compile process if using Hammer's compile interface.

Beetcha to it.

It's how it is for people who signed up years ago when Steam was still new :P.

Lost: you haven't told us what the problem now is.

Um, he doesn't have any choice.

I don't see any problem with the second log.

I mean I fail to see the point in the mod.

Interesting, although I fail to see the point.

Looks like you'll have to experiment.

Excellent stuff, and good sportsmanship, fellas :). Delighted with how this has worked out.

TALK PROPER ENGRISH

The 'discussions' bit isn't good. These forums are just for questions about mapping.

Yeah, but then what about questions on custom sounds, models, code? What about people with general game bugs? Doesn't make sense to dump so much HL and Source-related stuff in the General forum. That's for completely unrelated stuff/other games.

Sorry to join in dragging this off-topic :).

What mod? CS?

Though all of you made good efforts, I can't hand them out to everyone, or there'd be no incentive to remain involved. We will have similar things again, don't worry. Keep reviewing and you could just win one silently: the only reason this was necessary is because few people were. Use your initiative (like Dauby :)) and you could end up with one soon too.

rowleybob, the clear winner, and FresheD, who participated massively, excusing his slightly poorer average (so much more work: well done, mate; personal commendation from Daubster) will be given their awards tommorow.

Don't despair if you didn't get anything this time 'round, folks. Keep being helpful and you'll get your silverware.

I really don't think that the extra expenditure would be justified with a typical audio setup, and with the lack of performance gains illustrated in reviews I've seen.

The X-Fis are no better than the ZS 2s, just more expensive. I agree on the RAM, though, but 4x512MiB might well perform better on a good motherboard than 2x1024MiB; I'm not at all sure on that.

I'm buying their album :).

Elon: what? That's pretty pointless. It's a music video.

Aaah, why bother? Nice to have sometime to be merry, and winter needs more cheering up than summer.

I did not write that! If some mod is editing my words then stop it seriously...

Yes you did :|.

they're faces = they are faces

Here seems a fine place to me... sorta. Who knows?

Excellent stuff, all, Anthony included :). Nice idea.

CS : S : more crashing errors than in any other game.

You obviously haven't played BF2 [much].
