  1. PK action

    scarr you weren't even there to start with, so please stop spamming and posting flamebaits, no wonder they deleted your post count. Next time come and flame INSIDE a pk map.
  2. PK action

    Actually we won the first, you won the second, then we came back and won the finals . And there was only one or two giants by stones, like 5 of them were summoned by Dushan not using stones, summoning is a skill too, and no money was lost since most ingreedients are monster drops . Was lots of fun anyway .
  3. Whats your favorite type of music

    Techno != Trance Anyway, PsyTrance/Goa is missing on the list. (PsyTrance != EuroTrance ) Bom Shankar!
  4. I wrote some of that stuff here, and I have no problem typing commands instead of using a GUI. In fact, I've used DOS since version 3.2 (before there was a "real" Windows OS), and I can handle a command line just fine. The problem with Linux is that it requires a lot (and I mean a lot) of reading and, unlike Windows, there is no option for a GUI for the commands by default. I'm sure you had to read stuff to use DOS commands, you didn't just figure them out on your own. Even so, on GNU/Linux you have 1000 times more commands than on DOS so comparing using console in DOS and GNU/Linux is insane. When you get used to it once you wont get out of console, I have it as first application on the panel, hell I even play my music from console and watch movies from console. Another thing is that the different versions of Linux are actually different from each other, which mean you need to learn a different OS each time you change a version (or at least a desktop). This is not the case in Windows - all versions of Windows, since Windows 95, looked the same, which mean you know where everything is. What's different? Normal user won't notice 90% of anything that changed. I don't really get what you said here. Graphical interface is not same as application with GUI. When I say graphical interface I have Desktop Enviornments in mind: GNOME, KDE, Xfce, E17, fluxbox, blackbox... Windows managers: beryl, compiz, metacity... Theames? Skins? Icons? Everything related to your gfx card is configurable through programs that come with video drivers, I have almost same set of settings with nVidia drivers like in Windows. Every installation nowdays will add all your other drives automaticly you dont have to mount anything by hand!? I dont get it you would rather change 4 versions than type "ntfs linux mount" on google and get the problem solved in 5 minutes? That's just not being serious. You have 1 000 games for Windows and yet you get to choose which you like so.. let's talk serious. Never seen anyone complain how there are too much games . The thing where problem might be is, that all of those programs are good , which is what is important right? If I can somehow find a way to run a version of Linux as smoothly as Windows (watching movies using TV-Out, accessing my documents, running the programs I need), then I would be happy to switch to using just Linux. Until some big company or union of companies won't make a good version of Linux, with all the needed tools, a good GUI, and a good and short manual for it, I don't see how Linux would even be able to beat Microsoft. GNU/Linux runs more smoothly than Windows, and like I said, don't treat it like Windows because it's not. Don't make it work like Windows does. I'm sure you can watch movies on TV-OUT look at your gfx card settings after you install drivers. What's problem with the documents? Most of the programs you would ever want to have come with standard installation. Things aren't perfect, but for most programs from Windows you have same level counterpart. Sounds to me like you are talking this wihout giving it a chance for more than 5 minutes. I seriously don't believe you even tried using it, maybe ran a Live CD "click here click there, nah this isn't Windows", well of course it isnt .
  5. We need to test the collision code

    First ones don't look buggy to me, the ray doesn't go straight, it goes some amount of deegres up then down right? Like 45 deg for max range? This is from VOTD, this passage always looked small .
  6. 1. Linux is not an operating system (only a kernel) 2. GNU/Linux is an operation system 3. There are different flavours of it, called distros (distributions) I can't really believe at the stuff some people write here. Why are you so damn scared of it!? What is so wrong with using terminal and writing few commands that do the job faster than you would open some fancy graphical interface and click ten times to change the name of something!? None of us was born with knowledge of how to use Windows, so, none of us is born with knowledge to use another operating system either. What's the problem with learning it? Too many versions? Too many programs that do same thing? To many graphical interfaces? So? Is it wrong that it lets you choose what suits to you, even change it if you don't like how it looks? It's better if it behaves like Windows and ask you to behave and USE it how OTHERS made it work and no other option at all!? Many versions of something = competition between makers = happy users with better and better software. Yes GNU/Linux can be a pain and using it can be an adventure, especially if you treat it like Windows and if you are lazy like hell to read anything. It's not Windows, it's not made to be like Windows and it will never be like Windows, which is great! I've been using GNU/Linux since RedHat 6.2 and never had a single major problem with hardware support. After few googlings and reading you can solve every problem. Give it a try for a month or two (I recommend Fedora Core 6), don't treat/use it like you used Windows, ask other people that use it about how some things are done, you'll discover something new and you won't be comming back to Windows after that.
  7. Bots channel

    I think it would be great, I wanted to implement this on my bot for market channel but decided not to because it would spam too many people that type "buying x". It would also clear the bot spam on the market channel, but it needs to be well advertised too so people know about that channel.
  8. EL shuts off my computer

    Try to limit FPS in Options.
  9. Vista

    More people on Linux = more games for Linux, it's how it works. Btw. comparing OSs on the base of what games each can run is like.. no comment.
  10. Use of Weapons

    I'm not really sure if we need this, break rates are already too high. If natural flow means that you break 10 swords a day what's natural about it? On the other side, weapons add not only dmg but accuracy, crit to dmg and crit to hit, barehand fight will always be better and give more exp, if it's gonna be same then I choose barehand again, at least you wont break 10 swords a day .

  12. Selling 2 NMT Capes

    Ok, tnx . I'll PM you ingame.
  13. Vista

    Every OpenGL game works better under Linux. Fedora here anyway.

  15. Password

    Another approach. Associate an e-mail with account, each pass change sends an e-mail with new pass (maybe a confirmation link too? -- an added security check so others can't change your pass).
  16. NPC that buys new monster drop books would be kewl (Acc/Eva/Inv/TS) and/or other books that C1 book NPC doesn't buy. There are way too many of them in game and no one buys them on market.
  17. Forums.

    Remove / on the end of the forums link your pictures are not showing up, index.php is not a directory.
  18. Test server isp ban

    No.. people were testing specific things to win Cutlass of Mage as reward. So because 15KB is way too much some people that are normaly whitelisted on main server could not participate or win anything. Sorry if I'm sutbborn but if 15KB is too much then don't make contests there because it's not fair.
  19. Test server isp ban

    It's not? Hm.. I'm quite sure we had contest there few days ago. P.S. 1000 names x 15 chars wide each = 15KB, then again, you were kidding too, right?
  20. Test server isp ban

    You are kidding right?
  21. IE's stupidest bug yet

    People still use Micro$oft IE?!
  22. Trade bot coding

    [wexy@fragger ~]$ cat Devel/App/storebot/AUTHORS --Storebot crusadingknight <crusadingknight@*****.com> wexy <wexy@******.net> --Previous Maintainers (Athosino) < ? > Bongo < ? > *Derived from the elbot project. It's an old storebote code available from the CVS @ Berlios (under GPL) that I made to work again after server protocol change regarding trades and various other stuff. I implemented alot of new features that the one on the CVS lacks. Medena and another 4 trade bots at least run on that code. Edit: Nienora/Grearien did a nice piece of work on it and LabRat did a small fix too. Just to credit everyone .
  23. Lottery - Week of 2007-01-15

    Offtopic: Since EL is played by many people that don't live in US/Canada the dates written as mm/dd/yy (in this case it's easy to recognize because we don't have 15 months) are confusing. I suggest changing the topic title, and writing all future date in this format: YYYY-MM-DD http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339#section-5.6
  24. Srbija!
