Clavus

Let is be clear this is no ordinary ban. I banned him from the forum, I will ban any alt accounts (be it on the forum or on Minecraft) of his on sight. He really screwed up this time.

The Minecraft authentication server exploit (which got fixed this morning) was used to log in on both my and Whimplash's account. The idiots who did this didn't think too far ahead because I can see what IPs they used to log in and cross reference these against other users in the server log. So now OhitzGeorgie and some guy named bbbth are banned forever. EDIT: chucklydarkly banned too since same IP as OhitzGeorgie.

No idea. Probably something on my stepdad's Commodore 64, or one of my dad's early DOS PCs back then. I've long forgotten the names of those games.

Devs mentioned on the forum that syncing NPCs would likely affect performance too much. Not to say it won't ever happen but it's unlikely they'll be added any time soon.

Time for a general topic! Just Cause 2 MP is a multiplayer mod for JC2, much like how MTA and SA:MP were modded on top of GTA: San Andreas. Players and the world are synced, meaning servers support tons of players. The mod is still in development, but there are regular public tests (mostly during weekends). It's expected that the first public server release will come around soon. When it does, it's likely we'll try and run a server for it. Next-gen MTA? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s_nQR-GxA0 A few useful links: www.jc-mp.com, the official website. @jc2mpdev, the official twitter. Keep an eye on it for the latest test dates and other news. Note that you can pick up Just Cause 2 for 12 euros during the current Steam sale! Even the singleplayer is great fun so go get it. It's like GTA, but then with incredible draw distances, insane stunts, a very angry Mexican, lots of explosions, and all that without being as stupidly ridiculous as Saints Row.

Oh wow old topic I have had a HTC Desire for 1.5 years now:

5 years, ha. Maybe I'll finally getting around buying Max Payne 3 now. OWNED http://steamcommunity.com/id/clavus/badges 28 days earlier than you

Also be sure to vote on the games you want to see on sale every 8 hours Sale runs till 22nd of June, so 10 days and thus 30 voting rounds I guess?

Steam summer sale has started. Arma 2 CO is 20% off.

The structure that is you seizes to exist and your molucules spread out throughout the universe once again to become part of something new. The End. On my todo list: copy brain into cyberspace.

Happy hamburger flipping birthday man!

btw Source Filmmaker is now in open beta. Free for all.

Xray bans are permanent, and yours is no exception.

Some people make hilarious shit with this.

I know that feeling. It's the fourth unseen danger in Day Z right now besides zombies, players, and your own stupidity... the bugs and glitches.

I would like to thank Asylum for being my entertainment tonight. And as a little reward

Update 1.7.2 is being rolled out. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=32371 (torrent: http://cdn.armafiles.info/latest.torrent) (or a private direct link I made for you guys: http://bbq.to/DayZ-1.7.2_f864.zip) Do note you might wanna wait a day before trying to play, so the first hotfixes can be rolled out if they're needed. I'm reading some post-update horror stories again on the Day Z forum. EDIT: Rocket confirmed there are loading issues and it's possible you can lose your equipment. WAIT FOR THE HOTFIX. But at least the performance has been greatly improved.

Half hour presentation from Day Z's Rocket: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-07-09-watch-dean-rocket-halls-huge-rezzed-q-and-a-for-dayz Lots of info about the future for this game. Also his shirt is from this comic:

ONLY use this topic for claiming names. If you need to have an issue resolved, direct message the admins directly or ask on IRC.

Opinions so far on Guerilla Faction Wars? Seems to refresh the concept a bit. People leave their base a lot more and PvP has become more interesting since potions and enchantments aren't abundant. I might try other Faction Wars variants in the future.

But that's a system for fellow contributors. Not for peepz trying to run their own server.

Infected Wars does not have the info_zombie_start entity which is used on some zombie survival maps. It's not really a bug, it's just not being used.
