Quote from Sindwiller
The X series is full of such references to history etc. (the boron queen is called Menelaus for example) and every time you load up the game, it shows up a random quote of a philosopher or a scientist.
When you look into the abyss, the abyss looks into you.- Nietzsche

They did a pretty good job alright...

there you prove Taylor's "they get blurred with all the other parts of the game". quouting Nietzsche doesn't make you understand Nietzsche at all, I'd even say, reading such Quotes out of context and combined with ("stupid") game content will lead so far you learn something wrong out of it.

Anyone mentioned it's released via Steam?
Oh and GabeN and Avni Yerli are congratulating themselves
Quote"The millions of gamers logging into Steam every week to play today's best PC games are going to love Crysis Warhead," said Avni Yerli, Managing Director at Crytek. "Crytek Hungary has done a terrific job creating this new experience while optimizing CryEngine 2, and we're looking forward to delivering it and the original Crysis as our first offerings on Steam."
"Crytek is one of the industry's great success stories, emerging new technology and talent," said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "Crysis is one of today's leading PC franchises and delivering the original and Crysis Warhead via Steam is landmark for the platform."
What's driving me mad is that they sell Crysis for 40$ in US/NAmk and 60$ in Europe. At least Warhead isn't more expensive than the retail-version... Well, I'll get my Sandbox Editor through University anyway but I was so gonna buy this now if they wouldn't raise the price again...

yes I remember that kind of info in Battlefield Vietnam's loading screens. the OST build from music out of this time did it's part to really get me into reading about Vietnam. I think another good example would be the Age of Empires Series (at least 1 and 2) which referenced alot of historical happenings like the greeks and romans, the crusades, djingis kan etc..

there is no convertion factor. it's 1 unit is 1 unit. 72 units in hammer are 72 units in xsi/maya/3Ds Max. eg a door is 104*48*11,5 equivalent in which tool or software you're working.

I'd say just have 15 people vote spotlight and there you go. Shouldn't depend on time. Maybe restrict the right to vote to users with 50+ posts or active for more than 3 months or something like this?

looks like a badass vertical assault

and you should get in contact with the whitcher's team as they licensed it before. they may be able to give you an insight on the quality of support by bioware.

I modelled a fairly basic door, you can see here:
[Blocked Image: http://www.abload.de/img/clorkc7.jpg]
after I had the result I wanted I went for UV-Mapping the door and textured it. Now I forgot to apply smoothing groups to the model and it looks kinda idiotic to have hard edges all over the places. Now I wanted to go to the editable poly modifier again (leave the Unwrap UVW modifier) and it gives me an error message I'm about to lose everything I did with the modifier. Well I can see the problem with modifying the model after unwrap but I just wanna apply some smoothing groups and not alter the shape at all. But no chance as soon as I apply a smoothing group it loses all uv-coordinates and I don't wanna reunwrap the model (esp since I may run into the problem again with more complex models
)can anyone help - how to apply smoothing groups without losing the already created uv-map?

there are some free svn-hosts you could use. You can get a root server much cheaper than 100 bucks a month, i'd seen some good offers at 30 bucks.

that was a very good read - thanks for the link
on the topic:
I didn't buy the game allthough I really liked the demo. My personal problem was that I didn't see any advantage behind the SP as none of my friends was going to buy it and coop without someone you know isn't that much fun. No modding tools I'd know and so I sticked to the demo, played it twice and left the game there.
One main problem I see with the game is the fact it had some movie-sh PR before (the concepts were just great as were the trailers) but with the Eidos-vs-Reviewers-Conspiracy and the issues with the demo that only ran on one of my 4 computers I felt it wouldn't be my kind of game - adding I'm not a big fan of the Hitman-Games as games (I like the concept but it fails entertaining me) I passed out and I heard the very same from a lot of friends.

Well, but if there's someone like Valve giving you additional content every here and when you will bite your ass for having a closed system, esp if you're using the 360 and Microsoft makes you pay 10 bucks for the (PC-Users) free content!

I've been using it for like 2 weeks and then threw it away. Doesn't work for me. I've my playlist I can enjoy, don't need anything else.
