Enhance weapon effects? Yes.
Deagle? Well, I guess since you're giving it to NPCs, yeah, okay.
Race X? Try to either keep it to a minimum, only have it in near the end of the BMI, or have the player wipe them out.
Displacer? There are two, or did G-man just dump it where he didn't think anyone would find it?

Just my two cents. Also, do you have concept art for the Xenfly? Someone here might be able to model it.
EDIT: Do you guys already have material-based sprite gibs for weapons?
Eg. You shoot wood and small splinter sprites come out, or shoot metal and it sparks

Is it like the AI director in L4D but for music? :o
You could write scripted sequences based on the NPC lines you have, draw concept art, make media releases, get a site up (again) all sorts of stuff!
EDIT: You could practice your mapping, practice your modeling, practice your voice skills (It'll come in handy in a few years, I'm sure) Practice texture-making, make a skybox, make a candy store, make a jack-o-lantern, eat leftover halloween candy, watch TV, come here more often, TP Hotdog's house, learn to drive, learn to fly... [more ramblings]

in Do I need anything else? (hardware) Post #275014
Wait, did I misunderstand or are you going to give 800 dollars for that system? Now I don't know anything about hardware prices in Canada, but that sounds pretty overpriced.
Okay, I have about $420 canadian to my name to spend without going broke. This rounds out to about 389 USD, and 264 Euros.
Trapt: Ah, I see.
EDIT: Daub, I understand now. He bought it a few years back, when prices were higher on hardware and memory; they were going down, but still up there. $800 is half of what he paid.
I'm thinking of just gradually building a computer, maybe using parts from this one once I get enough to have it run, and them giving those parts back to my brother once I finish it.

If they don't trigger it, make sure it has to go through the multiple, and if it still won't work, just have the monstermaker trigger the other one with a delay.

in Do I need anything else? (hardware) Post #274995
Yeah, I know, that's why I didn't go for an ATi card.
I need something with at least the (minimum requirement) specs in the first post, and I'd prefer if it's hardware that won't break down for years. I'll go double check my budget.
EDIT: Okay, I have about $420 canadian to my name to spend without going broke. This rounds out to about 389 USD, and 264 Euros. I have that to upgrade or buy a new one, and if I upgrade, It'll be another $800 down the road because my brother wants half the amount he spent for this one if I choose to buy it.

Should I just save up for a new computer, and let my brother have this one back instead of paying $800 for it?

So, to get Sims 3 (and probably any newer game I buy from now on) to work, I need to upgrade my hardware.
I need this:
Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent 2.0GHz
DirectX 9.0c compatible card with 128 MB RAM (NVIDIA FX 5900/ATI 9500 or better) and support for Pixel Shader 2.0
100% DirectX 9.0c compatible card

I have (as far as I can tell from the boxes/computer specs I have acess to) this:
AMG Athlon 64 Processor 3200+ 2.21GHz
(1.00 GB Ram, Same as Sims 3 needs minimum)
Asus Radeon 9600 SE (graphics card I think, box doesn't say it specifically)
Asus K8N-E Deluxe eith NVIDA nForce 3 250GB and Dual Raid

I have DirecX 10.0 downloaded, and my computer can run HL2 fine (if I could update steam, anyway)
I also have a card picked out, but I dunno if I can find it: Nvida GTX260 (compatible with Sims 3, listed on the box)
I just wanted to know if there was anything else I needed to buy. Thanks in advance. [I also have a max budget of $300 right now. :(]

in Optimize Crysis performance Post #274864
I agree with you wholly. If it doesn't have a storyline that ingages you and tells an interesting story, It's just not worth playing. Graphics are a plus, and gameplay is a given, but the storyline is among the 3 most important parts of a game (Sound and gameplay being the other two)
There are exeptions, of course, like any other rule; Simulation games, Sandbox games, and platformers don't need a storyline at all (platformers need at least a thin storyline, but Mario is still engaging without an in-depth one)
