Guest Germanboy Posted June 9, 2000 Share Posted June 9, 2000 Does it come with rubber-coated keys, so that you don't injure your head when you bang it on it? That would help me. ------------------ Andreas The powers of accurate perception are often called cynicism by those who do not possess them.

Formerly Babra Posted June 9, 2000 Author Share Posted June 9, 2000 I wanted to include "Swear Like Peng in a Room Full of Smilies" but it just wouldn't fit... After witnessing exceptional bravery from his Celtic mercenaries, Alexander the Great called them to him and asked if there was anything they feared. They told him nothing, except that smilies might fall on their heads ------------------ When I die I want to go peacefully, like my grandfather, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notnowjohn Posted June 9, 2000 Share Posted June 9, 2000 It's 11:05 at night. I just woke my wife from a sound sleep because I was laughing so hard. Man, is she pissed. Gawd that was funny!

Maximus Posted June 9, 2000 Share Posted June 9, 2000 Well your ground graphics are WAAY blocky and pixelated. Also your smoke is the "fast and compatible" type. Is that really how you see the game as it's played? I use a 32MB Diamond Viper V770 TNT2 Ultra and get very good graphics. Full transparency and smooth ground. Have you updated your drivers? Surely with a 32MB card you should get better graphics than that. No offense whatsoever in this post just trying to help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Babra Posted June 9, 2000 Author Share Posted June 9, 2000 Understood. Actually, until you posted your question I hadn't given it much thought. Besides, if'n it ain't broke, don't fix it I always say. Pixelated is an adjective usually applied to me anyway. I wouldn't know where to download a driver from anyway, and lord knows I've searched... ------------------ When I die I want to go peacefully, like my grandfather, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted June 9, 2000 Share Posted June 9, 2000 What's the brand name of your card? Maybe I can hunt down a driver page for your card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Babra Posted June 9, 2000 Author Share Posted June 9, 2000 Dunno. Manufacturer is listed as "S3" under control panel.

Lorak Posted June 9, 2000 Share Posted June 9, 2000 I believe you might be able to find the drivers for that card here in their latest files section. http://sdn.fgn.com just had that site handy.

Maximus Posted June 9, 2000 Share Posted June 9, 2000 Just out of comparison, the driver version at the Diamond site is 4.12.01.8215-8.20.18. The reference driver at the Savage News site is 8.20.18 also, so it IS the same. Glad to help. Hopefully this will give you full visual effects for the final game. ------------------ "The greatest risk...is not taking one." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
