Solve : AvP3?

Answer»

anyone have this game yet?

if so... is it worth buying?

I was pleased with AvP Gold and AvP 2 was decent. Just want to know if they kept up with the qualityAre you talking about Aliens vs. Predator (2010) ?

I've played the original and it's awesome, but the NEW ONE has better graphics but is way shorter storyline and feels like something is missing from the gameplay. It's more a multiplayer fun game RATHER than singleplayer like the original. Also uses STEAM Client and it's a huge size game like two double layered DVDs for all the cool graphics and video.

or are you actually talking about AVP3 - Aliens: Colonial Marines, which I don't think has a release DATE yet? Looks very interesting thou. I've loved the previous old games in the series.I do have AvP 2010 if that's what you mean. As Azzaboi has said it is lacking in campaign longevity and for me you do get bored quickly.See My Review About This Game HereQuote from: xabhadonx on February 28, 2010, 02:35:35 PM

The game right now at it's current price isn't worth buying. Wait a month or two and it will most likely go down by half its original amount. This occurence usually what happens with semi-mediocre games like this one. You could google "chronicles of riddick video game"to find out for yourself. Overall, if you buy the game (AVP not COP) your going to enjoy it for a bit during the predator and maybe marine gameplay, but it will soon loose its luster when you try multiplayer or the alien gameplay. It's like playing a really nice game that wasn't really completed.

Solve : Don't know the name of an older game??

Answer»

I played a game back in the early 2000's or late 1990's that I have no idea what the name is. Here's what I remember: you had three basic unit types: bowman, swordsmen, and then dwarfs. The dwarfs threw BOMBS that exploded after bouncing once or twice. There were levels in the woods, on farms, on a ship, and in some kind of cave. You controlled various numbers of units. You FOUGHT some kind of zombie like enemies that varied in size and ABILITY. I think the cover had some guy standing on top of a pile of something, holding his hand up in victory, but I'm not sure on that. I hope someon can help me. Thanks!!I'm not sure but I think this was a sega genises game. Could you ride bird MONSTERS in the game?I also forgot a game I played with my dad. It had space ships, 8, I think. the second was shaped like a T, the last a oval, and was black. The MISSION was to save a huge ship that needed an escort. I got to level 4, but level 2 was my fav. What you did was shoot robots to get to the master ship alive. And yes, there were other allies with you, but all computer generated. There's my description.

Solve : Face of Mankind.?

Answer»

Hey guys, I'm pretty sure not many of you have heard of this game but I'll tell you.

First off, I'm posting this to try to get more players to the game. I dont really get anything out of it except maybe new friends and the game already has a good ammount of players. I just think some of you may like this game and may see it to be intresting enough to try out.

What is Face of Mankind?

Face of Mankind is an MMORPG game based in a futuristic world.

Terms to Know:

Gank - The act of shooting someone without a justified reason.
Penalty Points (PP) - An ammount of points similar to a wanted level. *Explained Below*
Vortex - A transporter that can take you to other colonies.
Vorting - The act of using a Vortex.
Raid - The use of a men to attack a specified colony.
FoM - Face of Mankind.
DMC - DeMorgansCastle (The prison)

So, when you start, you'll be allowed to customize your chracter and come up with a name for yourself. It's traditional to use a RP name such as "Firstname_Lastname". It's not required but is recommended. Your name does NOT have to be your real name. From there, you may choose your faction. There are 8 factions to choose from, wich are listed below.

Law Enforcement Department (LED) - LED is the Law Enforcement for Face of Mankind. LED members may check criminals for PP and arrest them accordingly. They also have unique abilities, some being the ability to arrest criminals and use stun rounds. They often can be found guarding DMC.

Freedom Defense Corps (FDC) - FDC is the military faction of FoM. They may also arrest criminals but do in only very rare situations. They are often called during raids and primarly use LETHAL force. They are EXTREMLY deadly and well trained.

Guardians of Mankind (GoM) - The GoM are a rather peacefull faction. They are often in politics and are usually found to be just trying to play the game and have fun. But dont get too COCKY. GoM aren't afraid to *censored* their guns, GoM are pretty decent fighters. They aren't a good or a bad faction. They are more of a neutral faction. GoM will pull their guns if they NEED to.

Brotherhood of Shadows (BoS) - The BoS is a criminal faction. They are often drug kings & queens. They are often found selling drugs for their money and are ready to go off and pull a gun.

Eurocore (EC) - EC is a kinda of rebel faction. They are criminal aswell but they are very rebellous. None-the-less they are a good faction to consider joining.

Vortex Inc. (VI) - VI is a MINING guild. They are generally peacefull but like everyone else, still armed. They do not war often but will fight if called for.

Colonization & Mining Guild (CMG) - CMG is another mining guild. They are peacefull aswell but aren't afraid of a bit of a war. They are often miners on DMC. They generally keep a tight security with their home colony being DMC.

Mercanaries of The Blood (MoTB) - MoTB is not one to joke around with. MoTB is full of well trained fighters. They will fight for anyone doing anything for profit. They are ruthless. Even the last time I played, they had a contract to help defend DMC. They may not like certain factions, but they will buddy with you for the right price. They will get the job done, right, the first time. Definatly worth spending the money for a contract.

Now you know all the factions. Now it's time for you to decide. Below is a few videos on youtube of some of the fun events in factions. Make sure you look for gameplay & tuturial videos!

MoTB raids DMC! Listen to the leaders of the raid on Vent!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoYjBA4vycc

Why not to *censored* with GoM & VI! Take this MoTB!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1X12lPw62w

GoM sure does know how to party!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGXAM5t_Ojo

BoS & EC raids!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxraRAF74NQ

I could go on all day, just go to youtube and type in "Face of Mankind". Videos from the past 2-4 months you should look for.

FoM is currently in an open beta. It is made by Duplex Systems but it's ran by...The players! The players run the game and decide their fate. There is soooo much more but if you're INTRESTED. Head of to fomportal.com and create an account. Download it and then head over to the Face of Mankind forums. You can find many helpful people on the forums willing to help you learn. You may also look at the tuturial videos Duplex has posted on youtube.

In game there is a mail feature, sometime write me a mail. My ingame name is Will Wilson. When I get my new computer I'll be back to raid. Mail me. Have fun!

Solve : Cannot install Microsoft Flight Simulator Deluxe?

Answer»

A couple of years ago I obtained "Microsoft Flight Simulator" directly from Microsoft. Every TIME that I tried to install it I got different messages, not enough hard drive, etc. Yesterday I tried again to install it and received the following two messages:
1) " Error: 1935 An error occurred during the installation of Assembly Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect, publicKeyToken = “67c7c14424d61b5b” version “10.0.60905.0” type = “Win32”, processorArchitecture = “x86. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x80070002."
2) "Rolling back action"

Then, after nearly ten minutes, came the message:
3) "Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation. Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information"

So I googled HRESULT:0x80070002 and followed all of the directions, including defraging my hard drive. I also went to Msi.chm and looked up error -1603 and followed directions given there.

Then I tried to install Flight Simulator again, which takes nearly an hour , and exactly the same seires of messages came up. Does anyone know what can be done with this?
I would appreciate any help that I can get, thank youCan you tell us your FULL system specs including OS please.Mulreay; Thanks for the comeback;

Solve : Favorite up coming game.?

Answer»

Quote

O man i gotta lot to teach you lolz, nah it can be repetitve but thats the thing i dont play public i only play Practice Matches and mix's with my mates,
I lied before, I have played it.

It's not the repetitiveness- or more precisely, that isn't what I meant- Counter-Strike is really just a version of the OLD capture the flag mod for Quake. That's what I mean by repetitive. It's been done before.



The irony also is that your "serious gamer" friends who don't play it are only wannabe serious gamers.

Trust me- after a game leaves the "mainstream" and becomes labelled as old, only people who truly know how to play the game will play it. This is why I find ZDaemon, Quake, Quake 2 and games of that era far more engaging online, in that the people playing actually know their stuff- even the "newest" PLAYERS have at least been playing for years on single player.

Also, people who say that the GRAPHICS for these games are "dated" are no longer strictly correct- with high resolution textures, 3d-models for sprites and the ADDITION of shaders, even games like Duke3d or Doom can push the latest graphics cards. (my 9800GT get's an equal workout from Duke3d as it does with Fallout 3 or Crysis)Quake does look pretty sweet, never played it though :[

Might get it for lolz, cheers for the heads up

I'm guessing that you will struggle with ANY recent game with a graphics card that small.

Could You Post What's Your Graphic Card , How Much Ram , HDD Space

I don't think you need that, you better know how to turn of the FPS limit.

But still I can not define the "how to speed up games??" what exactly the "speed" part is...Speeding up a game means you need to do some upgrading of hardware in your COMPUTER. Prototype is a pretty graphic INTENSIVE game and needs decently fast hardware.Quote

Solve : Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 multiplayer problem?

Answer»

I'm having a PROBLEM trying to get Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 to start a multiplayer game between the DELL Dimension 2350 and the HP Pavilion 7285 computers through TCP/IP. I enabled port forwarding for Jedi Knight in my family's router correctly, thus I had no trouble getting a TCP/IP multiplayer game going between the Dell and the HP Pavilion a1440n, but this problem eludes me. I tried hosting the multiplayer game on both computers in the basement, and the same problem resulted. The host game was detected, but upon clicking and trying to connect, I got a 'join error'. Can anybody help? I've got firewalls on both computers, and the older computer's firewall has settings that allow Jedi Knight to go through, and the other one is using ZoneAlarm. I'm suspecting the problem is with the older computer. I'm running DirectX 8.0 on that computer, and the others have DirectX 9.0c. I don't want to upgrade to that version unless that version of DirectX will fully support the Diamond MONSTER 3D II, which is installed on the old computer. However, I can get a serial connection working between the Dell and the older HP Pavilion. If I cannot resolve this, multiplayer games of Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith will be limited to two PLAYERS unless somebody brings a computer with a wireless internet connection that can run those games properly.Another thing of NOTE is that I cannot get a multiplayer game going between the old computer and the library computer (HP Pavilion a1440n). I tried everything. If only there were a way to get the game to wait longer for a connection before timing out.

Solve : Need help finding the name of a space game played in 2005/06?

Answer»

It was pc game where you're controlling this circular HOVERING space pod robot around space ground. I remember that there was no music when flying around the map, and it was very dark. There was a central hub for it to regain ENERGY/fuel and it would need to extract ores from the land to take back to the hub to provide energy for upgrades or power ups on armor, engine, ore capacity, etc. The more ores you carry, the heavier & slower the pod would be. There were like these hovering aliens that would go after your robot and try to kill it. There were missions like ore extracting, but it was a demo so I don't know others. It was a demo on an hp pavilion laptop in 2005/06. HOPE this helps!Suppose It Was "Sky Roads PC Game"

Or
FreeLancer PC GameGood suggestions joker, but not the ones. Skyroads has too low of graphics like that of an ATARI game. & Freelancer is flying thru space which isn't in the game i DESCRIBED.

Solve : Full Screen/Window Game Crashes Computer?

Answer»

Whenever I play Perfect World International on my laptop either immediately after I log in it crashes, 10-6hrs of play it crashes, it's just whenever I run it, it crashes. The majority of the time I play I also have ventrillo running as well so I can easily talk to PEOPLE (my touch-pad mouse has become very sensitive so it clicks on it's on sometimes). I've tried going to the advance properties for "My Computer" and disabling the auto-restart that only worked for an hour or two but then again it could have no worked at all since my laptop can run for up to 6hrs while the game is running.

Here's some extra information: I have a Dell Studio 16(I think), it came with Win Vista-64bit and I upgraded it to Win 7-32bit just recently. I've tried updating my drivers and graphics/video cards but they won't update. Any help? I don't like using my desktop because it has vista as well, and it's slowed over the years and freezes easily even when your doing something simple.

Good thing I saved the sticker that came on the box well here's what it says:

  • Intel Core Duo T5800 (2.0GHz, 2MB cache, 800 MHz FSB)

  • Genuine Windows Vista
  • Home Premium with SP1 (63-bit)
  • Zone Alarm(Firewall) Immunet(Anti-Virus)

My uncle bought me this computer so that I can play video games and do a lot of web design, I have PhotoshopCS3, IllustratorCS4, and DreamweaverCS4. Those programs did not come with the pack although he did ask for them to download them onto the laptop or add them with everything. Can't really say how many programs I have some share a folder within the "Program Files" under (C:) but I can always have a on-screen web cast if you like. I have aim pro so if you have an aol username feel free to add me and I can show you what's actually on my computer if I haven't listed everything needed. And I have cleaned my fan and within my computer. I've tried cleaning my CD/DVD drive as well but it's built inside the laptop and it makes it hard to get at and see inside of it.Bump?

Solve : My dos game no sound fx?

Answer»

Ok so i INSTALLED fatal racing and i have music but there is no engine noise the sound fx are on any ideas? I'm using windows 98 and the game was made in 95 could that be the reason?Unlike newer games, DOS games need sound settings in order to work properly. Since these games were made, the way games handle sound has changed.

You might try running it in Dosbox.ok i will try that but win 98 isn't good enough? It's not that it's not good enough, but Windows 98 wasn't designed to run DOS games and not all DOS games will run properly in 98 either. While some could, there were OFTEN sound/music problems. Some would refuse to run at all (Crusader: No Remorse & Crusader: No Regret being two games I loved that lost playability in Windows 98).

The reason you're getting music and no sound effects is because the music is straight CD audio playing off the CD (according to what I've read about that game). In Windows 98, CD audio was passed through an audio cable straight to the sound CARD and out through the speakers. Even if a Windows 98 (or previous VERSION of Windows or DOS) COMPUTER locked up, CD audio would still continue uninterrupted.

This is no longer the case with most newer computers, as CD audio is dealt with differently now.

For me the definition of a game is simple

1: A contest with rules to determine a winner.
2: A single play of contest.
3: An amusement or pastime with a clear goal.

Solve : New computer, Random lag?

Answer»

my computer is only a few months old. its really new, fast and its windows 7. it has 6 gb of ram, and PLAYS world of warcraft at amazing speeds. thats a computer game if u dont know. anyways my computer has way more then needed requirments to play the game. i could even play it on high settings without lag. lately tho, ive been getting very random outbursts of lag, and it slows down from the normaly 60 fps to 3-5 fps. i thought maybe it was just my settings were turned up too high(even tho it worked fine on them before) so i turned them all the way down. the lag happened again bringing me down to 3 fps. this low fps lasts around 5 minutes, then goes back to its super fast speed of 60 fps. it baffels me. i thought maybe it was spyware, but i have webroot spysweeper and run it all the time and i delete spysweeper if i even get any. i use mozilla firefox aswell. somone said maybe my computer is overheating but im now sure, i opened it up and blew out some dust with my breth but it still happens. any ideas?Welcome to the forums.
Can we get your full system specifications?yeah my computer is windows 7 home premium. HP computer. model is p6310y. Processor is AMD athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz. 6 GB RAM. 64 bit operating system.Quote

thats a computer game if u dont know
OH! I Really Dont Knew That

Two Things :
1] How Much HDD Space Left.

2] Is Your Antivirus Updated And Scanned With It.Try defragmenting your hard drive if you haven't already, also do check for malware.
It sounds like either something running in the background or an overheating issue to me, but those Athlons do run fairly cool (at least with the OEM heatsink) so I doubt that's the cause.yes i do have a very good reason to believe that my computer is over heating but im not sure if its just the video card, or the whole computer. my video card is the nvidia Geforce 9100 and when i play WoW it gets up to 250 degreese farenghiet before it slows down and lags. im guessing this is so it doesnt melt the card. any other temps u guys should know about that i could tell you let me know. i think its just the video card but not sure. anyways what should be done about this?Quote from: jsethrea on May 30, 2010, 05:09:15 PM
gets up to 250 degreese farenghiet before it slows down and lags

What are you using to measure the temperature?

250F (or about 120C) is the maximum threshold for most video cards, so if whatever you're using is reading that your card is getting this hot, that could very well be the problem.Quote
250F (or about 120C)

Whoaaa Thats Really!Really HOT! Quote from: the_mad_joker on May 31, 2010, 02:24:32 AM

Indeed. I hope the CPU isn't getting that hot or anywhere near it. For most CPUs, that's way past the limit.im using CPUID HW moniter to measure the temperature. any other temps u guys wana see so i know its just the video card the needs to be replaced?cpu core?
i would say this is an intonet connection problem that causes lag, not your PC as what often happens is that someone will restar theere WIRELESS during a game session so that all characters are frosen for the person who has restarted there wireless, however the person who has temporarily lost connection will experience problems thus causing lag as the game SERVER will try to connect you back to the players you where with, a common exampole is when you are using a week signal for playing games, you will often find that it becomes laggy from time to time, this happens with everything even if it a jaguar super computer or a games consol.Quote from: PlasmaticJj on May 31, 2010, 03:51:23 PM
i would say this is an intonet connection problem that causes lag

He's talking about frame rate dropping from 60fps to 5fps. When you're experiencing lag (or latency) issues in World of Warcraft, it doesn't cause your FPS to drop, although it may cause other issues with movement. This most likely has nothing to do with his internet connection. He has already stated that his video card is running at 250F, which is pushing the limit of video cards and is the most probably cause of this issue.

Jsethrea, like Salmon Trout said, the CPU core temp, but really a complete list of temps that you're getting READINGS on (if you're not sure what's excessive and what isn't).


Additionally, but to prevent any arguments about the issue:
Before anyone breaks in and says something like "So why do people experience FPS drops in Ironforge and Dalaran and etc. and so forth?" That's a hardware issue, not an internet connection issue. The apparent "lag" is caused by the computer taking too much time to load that many character models. People with computers that are up to snuff usually don't experience this problem. I have a constant latency of at least 300ms, which is 5-10 times what most people in the U.S. get. With my current setup, I run maximum detail with a nearly constant 60fps, except in Dalaran where I might drop to 40fps due to excessive things being loaded, but 40fps is still good. I have always kept my computer well ahead of Warcraft in terms of system requirements and have never had an issue with these areas.

Solve : Self Made RPG!?

Answer»
Hello all,

I would like to say that for my college finals I have to make a fully functional, representable, 'sellable' RPG.
Now as some of you may know, programming such a thing from scratch is a tedious and time-consuming task.
This is why I've come here to seek some extra help and tips from you guys!
Especially since this is the games forum and I know that some of you are hardcore gamers. =)

Alright so what I'm asking is, can you please think of all the possible elements a(n) (good) RPG has to have?
Basic elements I've come up with:

- Menu's
- Screen Managers
- Character
- Character animation
- Life
- Weapons
- Abilities
- Movement (N, NE, NW, S, SE, SW, E, W)
- Battle System
- Game Engine
- Map Editor
- Map System
- NPC class
- NPC AI
- Enemies
- Enemy AI
- Interaction with objects (open box, get item, close box)
- Quest system
- MenuButton handling
- Balloon dialogue
- Cutscenes?
- Levels
- Tile System

I'm asking this because I have to build every little aspect of the game.
What makes a top RPG game? Excellent programming + touching story + various personalities + good music?

lang: XNA
sublang: C#

Treval
Quote
I know that some of you are hardcore gamers

Oh That Term Suits Best For Me

You Should Also Add Reputation System , Making Characters etc...... Nice, man!
Even though I will spend infinite hours on the previously mentioned aspects, I am still open for more input on what makes a great RPG and what makes an RPG.
I GOT 3 months left.. not a lot.. -gasp-.You know what would be awsome? If someone made a zombie survival - FPS RPG w/multiplayer. Kind of like a combination of killing foor, left 4 DEAD, fallout 3, borderlands, and bioshock if you need an idea of what it should look like. Too bad my game is gonna be like Zelda. =P
lolll.If You Really Want A RPG Game Made

Make It REALLY Different

Such As Batman In Open World , With RPG Elements And His Bosses As Playable Characters , And Gotham City To Free Roam , And Dont 4get Me "The Joker" Or the flanderized version of the Riddler: The DiddlerFirst I have to make sure I get the basic engine functionality working.. LOL. =PA good RPG game needs A creative mind, like The_mad_joker said " Make it really different " you have to have your imagination and Create something different. But anyway my suggestion would be

- Good STORYLINE
- Your own features and different style of game play
- Maps, and levels for Multiplayer and single player

etc... there many more I can't be bothered with A list, But yeah I see your intresting in making A game like Zelda. Well go for it but what I would say is make it more different has use your on TECHNICS and do things you would change which games never had, you really don't want to be known for being like the game Zelda either, obviously you want to be known just for being a succesful game. A storyline would be good to because it draws people into the game not just the action, but obviously that would add up for A lot of work but it's something you can go for, so good luck man I hope it becomes A success for you college.Quote
Or the flanderized version of the Riddler: The Diddler

Being a hardcore gamer , in my opinion,

1. A good RPG has to have at least good gameplay!
2. Great gripping storyline which sucks the user in, with a few twists
3. Good user-friendly quick interface
4. characterization, CUSTOM your character to your liking, pick from melee, ranged, magic, etc.
5. Become good or evil, allow for free will, clearly defined between good and evil, maybe neutral
6. Level ups, upgrade skills, different skill sets for different characters
7. Collect money/points for purchasing better armour, weapons
8. There Should Be A Big Hardcore Sword/Weapon. People love where they quest for a good item.
9. Many ways to finish quests, different outcomes (replay value)
10. The game should have as many plot-driven doors as possible, maybe even a romance subplot.
11. Good AI worth fighting, somewhat original, lots of different enemies/monsters
12. Battles must be fun and varied, same thing over and over can get boring quick
13. Super power or special ability for more fun and to be different (just not overkill)
14. Not over horrendous long boring dialouge, specially if text and can't skip
15. Good music and amosphere
16. Quality graphics (kids these days)
17. Intrigue, backstabbing, unexpected turns, convoluted plots, tragedy, war, and/or unstoppable odds
18. The game must have good boss fights. Bigger, badder and totally different!You are well thanked, Azzaboi! p.s.: that will take AT LEAST 30 days to accomplish all that.. provided I'm already an expert.. LOL!
Please remember guys.. I'm not a SquareSoft team (hundreds of programmers, hundreds of artists.. hundreds of you name it..).. I'm just 1 guy. =P

The processor is older and pretty slow ... your video card is very low end ... the motherboard is old ... your RAM isn't a great amount but that shouldn't have a great affect on gaming ... your HDD is also pretty old, and slow, which again wouldn't affect game performance but would affect load times, as well as the responsiveness of the machine. Where did you get this from? I hope you didn't pay much for it. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it may not be worth putting money into that system ...

If I UNDERSTAND the numbering scheme properly, the hundreds digit is "more significant" generationally then the thousands PLACE. a 8800GT is better then a 9400GT, if I understand it correctly.

Solve : League of Legends?

Answer»

Hi,

I'm currently on a quest to get friend referrals for League of Legends, so I've come here to promote the game

League of Legends is a free MOBA (Multi-player Online Battle Arena) game very similar to the Warcraft III map/mod DotA (Defense of the Ancients). In the game you're a Summoner controlling your own champion in either a 5v5 scenario or a 3v3 scenario (with more coming in the future). There are currently over 50 champions to pick from and a new one arrives every 2 or 3 weeks.
If you're not familiar with DotA or the MOBA genre at all, it's very similar to the RTS genre.

The game is FREE to download and play. Although you can spend MONEY on it, you can't get an advantage over non-paying users by doing so. You can buy skins (costumes for champions) for example, but those are of course purely COSMETIC. So you can play for free without having to worry about paying users GETTING the advantage.

Here's a champion spotlight video of the champion Ezreal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfeNQ_dbPvE

Here's a REVIEW of the game by IGN http://pc.ign.com/articles/104/1042996p1.html

League of Legends is divided into regions. There are American servers, European servers and I believe South-East Asian servers. Although I'm European myself, I actually play on the US servers (which a lot of Europeans do).

You can create an account on the US servers through my friend referral link here: https://signup.leagueoflegends.com?ref=4b566345f22d6 US SERVERS

OR you can create one without using my friend referral link here: https://signup.leagueoflegends.com/ US SERVERS
Although I'd greatly appreciate if you used my friend referral link

Here's a link for the European servers: https://dyn.goa.com/registration_lol.php

In the game, we would have this room full of patients and based on the injuries or whatever, you have to decide the order they need to be seen. Then you treat them in the doctor office.
Thanks
AmyOne of the Sims games....Consult Google. well, there is a game like that for the wii. I have no clue what it is called, but maybe it is the same thing, just a newer VERSION??? Quote

Was back in the late 90's.

Wii? Maybe if you gave us the console it was on, perhaps someone would be able to find it?For wii or DS you're talking Trauma Center or Trauma Center Second Operation. That's anywhere close to a medical simulation and ADVENTURE game.


I don't think it was any of the Trauma games. I BET it was Theme hospital.

Solve : C&C 3 modding?

Answer»

Here is my problem.
When I TRY to create .bat file, it's not creating through cmd. Well it's not creating through anything. One of the lines says access is denied. I'm using WINDOWS 7. I don't remember having one of these lines on XP. What I understand is because of ADMINISTRATOR rights I cannot edit files inside the C:\ partition.
Sorry if I got this a BIT confusing.
Basically what I'm trying to ask is how do I make Windows 7 allow me to edit files in the C:\ partition? Thanks.
P.S. Now the issue might not be connected to the Computer Games, but simply to Windows 7 problem. Feel free to move it.
Thank you again.

Solve : Trying to find old Dos/Windows Game?

Answer»

I'm trying to dig deep into my memory and pull out the name of this old DOS game I use to play. It was a city builder, but not really a city more like a small town. The play area was divided up into sections that could each be taken by placing a warehouse on them.

There was the basic gathering of food, water, wood, and I think metal maybe stone. All of this was stored in the warehouse which you could go into and see your stocks. Each warehouse could only hold so much of each item so you would need to build more to accommodate.

The game featured the FOUR distinct seasons where in winter the only people working would be the woodcutters, spring when the plants went in the ground, SUMMER where the fields grew and fall when the harvest would commence.

There was an inventor you could visit to make INVENTIONS that HELPED. I have a distinct memory of making hot air balloons that you could bomb your enemies from. But it's odd that this is the only memory of combat I have of the game. You could make lighting rods to prevent your buildings from being hit by lightning and set on fire.

There was a church you could visit and make a donation to to increase the peoples like of you or their overall happiness I can't remember which.

I have searched Google to no avail, looked through the MobyGames database with no luck. I just can't find the name of this game. If anyone out there remembers this one I would be greatly appreciative.

SethThis sounds a lot like Stronghold, to which there are many sequels and more updated VERSIONS. The only thing that doesn't sound familiar is the balloons and inventors part, but it's been a long long time since I played the first Stronghold.

it's a nice site with old videogames.It's not a matter of finding it, it's a matter of figuring out which game he's talking about.

Solve : A Complicated Problem...?

Answer»

It was really just a guess on my part- Everest on my main PC says Internal, (to the CARD, I suppose) whereas all my laptops say "Integrated"- so I just extended to logic to this PC.

I forgot the Vanta was a standalone card though; Actually I just discovered why I had never heard of it:

Quote

A low-cost version, known as the TNT2 M64, was produced with the memory interface reduced from 128-bit to 64-bit. Sometimes these were labeled "Vanta", continuing the Vanta name started with a value-oriented RIVA TNT-based product. This chipset outperformed the older RIVA TNT while being less costly to produce. They proved quite popular in the OEM market, as most consumers simply assumed all TNT2 cards were the same.

turns out it's just a STRIPPED Riva TNT!

I am please to announce that it actually works and it is running my game (almost) like a dream. Thank you everyone, thank you! I will never forget how this ACCIDENTAL crossing to this WEBSITE of HOPE can given me happiness. Good to hear! Come back now, y'hear!? Wow. That helped on prob I was having.Guess what BC!?!?!!

I went digging through my draws...I found I have two RIVA TNT 2 M64's lying around, both 32MB cards, and they both stated integrated RAMDAC when I booted them up

Answer»

I'm not the greatest with computers, but I build all of my own and I know my way around getting to what I want. This one, I cannot figure. It all started on Aion, had crashing problems that became more and more frequent as I played over the months. Now I cannot open simple games without constant CRASHES, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what's going on. I know this DXDiag helps in many cases, perhaps one of you can see where I've gone wrong. Thanks for any help you can muster.

Solve : STEAM: Gmod 10 and Portal.?

Answer»

I purchased PORTAL on-disk close to when it first released. It installs VIA Steam. I want to install GARRY's Mod 10, but the site (http://store.steampowered.com/app/4000/) says:

Quote

This game requires that you own a Source engine game such as Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2, or DAY of Defeat: Source. Click here for a full list of games that meet this requirement.

if I "Click here" I am presented with this page: http://store.steampowered.com/search/?category2=16

Portal is in this list.

Does this mean that if I install portal on this machine, then purchase and download Garry's Mod 10, that the "Source Physics Engine" in portal will be used?Using the steam program go to Gmod10 and at the BOTTOM should be a list of all the games that work...Im not sure if portal will work, I think THATS just for addons, but im pretty sure CSS is pretty cheap now Steam will only let you download Gmod if it will work.It worked =D

Portal did. My original suspicions were right.

And "Portal did." is not that good of a sentence...

LiamPortal did. LMAO

If MEMORY serves, once you reach a certain point in the game (In San fierro, at least, maybe earlier) you canbuy upgrades such as Nitrous,hydraulics, paint jobs, etc. for specific vehicles.I BELIEVE theres a guy that does it in one of the missions, correct me if im wrong, but you have to take the car to a garage place quite near CJ's House. Havent played in a while but mabye you can go there? Unless its only a mission JOB, but from my knowledge you drive your car in then you pick what upgrades you want. Try and find the mission its not too far into the game look it up on google or something to find out where exactly this place is.Google GTA SA car mods, and go on any website, most of them have car mods (I suggest saving them on the desktop, as they are easy to find there). Then you must download a program called SAMI (San Andreas Mod Installer) to install them onto the game. You must also download the patch for GTA SA in order for the mods to work. After this, you open up SAMI, and then click on "Intsall a mod". Two boxs should come up, like in the 1ST picture below. Make sure the cross is in "ZIP\RAR file". Click browse, and find the car you downloaded, and double click it, then click continue. A menu full of numbers should come up, but just click continue again. After that, a menu with all the carnames should come up, as in the screenshot below. You have to type in a custom name at the top, but it won't come up when you enter the vehicle on the game. After you have written the name, click install. Now when you go on the game, the car will be replacing whatever car you chose it to replace. (:

Solve : Old game graphics are bad?

Answer»

Hey, I just tried to run Silver (A game made in 1999) and it's graphics were BAD, I know it's an old game I mean choppy and weird, here's a screenshot

The game requires 2MB of VGA card memory and I got a 1GB ati O_OIf you are running Vista or Windows 7, sometimes the palette is corrupted in 256-color games such as that one (I had similar problems with Age of empires 1 and 2 and Command And Conquer).

The problem was "fixed" by terminating explorer.exe whenever I ran the game.terminating explorer.exe, but then when you exit the game, wouldn't you have to reboot your pc to get it back to working again?Quote from: 2x3i5x on May 11, 2010, 05:07:05 PM

terminating explorer.exe, but then when you exit the game, wouldn't you have to reboot your pc to get it back to working again?

TASK manager still works, and you can start it from there. For me I usually just leave task manager open when I terminate explorer so I can start it again when I am finished.

The only side effect is for badly behaved programs that add notification icons to taskbar, unless they respond to a specific windows message then their icon is lost.

I'm not really sure why explorer (and only the one that creates the taskbar, if there are other explorer processes running that display folder windows the palette is unaffected).

I think it might simply be that even though the game is in the foreground, somehow explorer is able to realize (MAKE current) some colours on the current palette. 256-colour mode is more or less a "colour by numbers" situation- there are 256 "numbers" and a program can only paint with those numbers- and it can NEVER really be certain what those colours are. OBVIOUSLY, the games themselves usually create a palette and therefore the game "knows" what the colours should be; but if another program is able to somehow realize colours on that same palette then it replaces the colours that the game is using- colour 45, for example, might be set to a blue colour for deep water, or a green, or some other colour by the game, but if another program is somehow able to change it to, say, a bright pink, it's hard not to notice that everywhere there was supposed to be a dark blue or a grass green it is now hot pink.

The fact that Vista/7 and the graphics drivers that are used with them SORT of turn up their nose at 256 colour modes doesn't help, either.

Solve : Xbox Hacked?

Answer»

Hi EVERYONE,

My brother's xbox live profile just slowly started discenegrating (i don't care if it's spelled wrong) and finally disappeared. We emailed microsoft and they informed US it was hacked/stolen so we are now going through a long process of figuring things out. In the meantime, I wanted to SECURE my gamer profile to my external Hard drive. Does anyone know of a WAY I could go about doing this? Thanks in advance!Im pretty sure you can just save the profile onto the hard drive for later withut the need of entering PASSWORDS and all that Without*see that "Modify" button on the lower right of posts? If you make a mistake you can Modify your post.

This isn't IM! Dont give email or gamertags to sources you dont know.
