  • What do you think about the new look?

    [url='']@laminutederire[/url] The new update requires logging in with your email address or your display name, so be aware of that if you previous changed your display name so that it was different to your username. You now need to use either the name that appears in the forums or your email address. If you still encounter issues, try deleting all your MapCore cookies because there could be a conflict with the old ones.

    Also, I just learnt you can do Twitter @mentions, haha.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. I can't really respond individually to everyone for now but I am taking all thoughts on board, and once the more major issues have been resolved I'll be making various design tweaks after the initial shock has worn off. Colours are relatively easy to adjust and we're mostly on defaults right now, but it's low priority.

    With that said, the lack of distinction between posts was bothering me so I just slightly increased the darkness of the borders, and may take it a bit further once my eyes adjust. I've also disabled the articles feed in the sidebar until this evening because it was causing the crashes for reasons yet to be determined.

    I know that the design is a shift, so I apologise to those who aren't so keen on it. Unfortunately the upgrade wasn't avoidable because software moves on (it's the same software as before), and the difference is significantly less than that with our last big upgrade — which lots of us also wanted to undo and revert to the previous version.

    The funny thing is that in virtually every popular multiplayer game I've played, no matter how many maps are available people tend to gravitate towards just a few anyway — and servers accomodate by running those maps 24/7. Does having 10,000 vehicles make for a more fun game that 10 or less really well-balanced ones?


    Maybe they shouldn't have called this Battlefront, because I think it's causing fans of that franchise to become too attached to what existed before. For people like myself who never particularly liked those games but would love a really good Star Wars multiplayer romp that's along similar lines to Tribes, Battlefield, PlanetSide, etc then what DICE is doing with the new Battlefront looks excellent.


    It's not going to be possible to please everyone, sadly. Lots of people will be buying this game because of DICE's involvement alone, and they have certain expectations too.

    And yet it'll still probably be a much better game than Battlefront 2.

    Sorry for doublepost but I guess this feature is not on Vista Home premium? Would be happy to recover models and textures I had made.


    Appears not. Sorry then.

    Don't forget that Windows has built-in folder versioning, which keeps dated backups of files and folders if your hard drive space permits.

    Try right clicking on the folder where your lost files were and selecting 'previous versions' or something like that in properties. If there's nothing there, try going to parent folders.

    I don't know how well it copes with whole trees of folders but it's saved my butt a few times.

    Doom 1 and 2 were straight-up action as I recall, like Duke Nukem 3D. I'd say the scary aspect only really came in with D3.

    I did think that D3 was great for a few hours, but then the cycle of scares wore thin. I'd like to see D4 hit a similar mark to Half-Life, which is basically a generous helping of both scares and balls-out action.

    Just a friendly reminder that one thread in our services forum is sufficient, so I've merged them together.

    Great suggestion!!!Listening from Spotify the whole of his works. I should follow you on Spotify, if you are on it.


    I am on there via my Facebook (not sure how you add someone), although be warned I do listen to a great variety of stuff you might not be so keen on haha.


    Here is what I'm enjoying today...

    Man, it might sound like nitpicking but those hitting sounds with the physical stuff really need to be swapped by something else. Nothing screams more like a "I'M A HL2 MOD", than keeping those sounds.


    Surely that's OK for this mod specifically though, because both Half-Life 1 and 2 already share lots of sounds. If anything it adds some in-universe consistency. xD

    Now that you've had a month to digest part one of Sentura's dive into the lovely world of Unreal Engine 4, it's time to get your teeth into the second part. This time, discover the wonders of debugging, comparisons, and casts. Also, feel free to use the comments to ask further questions about this tutorial or Unreal Engine 4 in general.

    Looks a bit rough doesn't it? I'm not the biggest fan of the architecture anyway, but the visuals really do seem be lacking the impressiveness that Unity had — this actually looks last-gen apart from the cutscenes. Also, the big and open roads don't do the game any favours even if they are necessary to recreate the period, because they just produce swatches of boring, empty space.

    I did really like the look of Unity, it gave me similar vibes that I recall from AC2. Is the story good though or is it just a churn of side-quest crap?

  • Assassin's Creed 7 “Victory”

    • Thrik
    • May 10, 2015 at 12:02 AM

    I ended up skipping Unity after the launch issues, so I expect to be highly blown away by this.

    I haven't genuinely gotten into an AC since AC2, which I played to death. Maybe I just burnt myself out on the formula. I'm kind of feeling ready for it again though.

    London is a potentially excellent setting, although I expect that it'll mean little non-city play. I wonder if the characters will all have French accents this time.

    Ready for some déjà vu? While the number of completed entries was modest, a lot of time and love was put in by those who made it to the end of our mapping challenge to re-imagine a scene from the Half-Life series. Now that all three judges have taken the time to play through each level, we're delighted to release the RaiseTheBarVille map pack and identify the winners of this challenge. Thank you very much to everyone who participated!
