Ok so it sounds like everything worked correctly except you had the shield icon. Right? Did you cancel protection early?

I was one of the unfortunate kids that bought the infamous ET game.

Wow it actually opened. Well... I suppose if its a temp problem I can put off getting a new one. But something is making it stick.

Any suggestions smartass?

Ah the good ol days. I think a lot of the 2600 games are available through PC emulator software. But of course the legalities of that are hazy.

Yea the door on mine wont open anymore. The motor tries. Same with using the pinhole to trigger the motor that way. I suppose I could take it apart and see. For bluray playback what is better than powerdvd? I like the bundle idea to save a few bucks because I likely wont be doing it that much.

Only thing I can think of offhand is that maybe it was the timer. I suspect I know what the actual problem is I just have to find it.

Destroyed? As in blew up?

Hey guys Any recommendations on an internal bluray writer? My dvdr looks to have bit the dust. For awhile it has had problems opening and would often need two attempts to do it. Now it wont open at all. Seems many people like LG but I have never had one of their products. I may one day rip my br discs to play via streaming or a home theater box. Pioneer also seems to have higher marks.

From the provider on the 25th "We are again seeing a very high level of DDoS activity today at most locations. PSN, XBox Live, and BF3/BF4 were also taken offline by large DDoS attacks today and it could easily be the same attacker hitting our customers here."

Oh that's very bad.

People should check out the story about the airline that booted a passenger because he threw a major fit over... wait for it... a fight attendant wishing him a Merry Christmas. Why cant people just say thank you and move on? Merry Christmas to all. And if anybody has a problem with that, eat my shorts.

I have a sneaking suspicion that fearless leader will watch it, if he hasnt already.

Or did he leave a lump of malware?

They do? I didnt know this. Or I did but forgot.

Like I said, its not something I will change. Up to all of you. Besides with the stacked streaks there is also a greater chance of sentryguns held until needed. And of course sentryguns target cars. They become little more than extra spawn protection. I think I can get helicopters to target cars. I have to look into that. Drive at your own risk.

That is true. Respawning would be no different than any other player. But then again, if your side is losing that usually means the enemy is getting more cars by sitting there and spawn camping. They also would have to respawn back to the beginning.

It is likely the issue Rugger posted above. Maybe the NSA attacking NK is working better than they wanted. ;-)

I am not going to force a change on this particular issue. Up to all of you to decide where to spawn or if timing should be less. The sniper rifle thing is due to the weapon firing projectiles for long range. However in 1.46 that will be changed back to normal sniper rifles. Bullet penetration and all of that. I did a lot of testing on the Arena map... I think thats the name... at the farthest distance I could possibly find and normal sniper rifle range is fine. Since the attachment is losing that ability I will be making gunkick for it a bit less. It is a steadycam after all. How much depends on the rifle. The M21 wont see that much of a difference but the .50 will be noticeable.

Thank you. I really dont like people exploiting things in this way and prefer it to be addressed. If I knew this was going to happen I would have made streak respawning four seconds max long ago. Of course there is always the option of respawning back at the beginning. As it was way back in the 1.3 mod. Even tho it really doesnt make sense that way. Added the sc2010 as a g3 replacement. Works well. But its a heavy model, as are all ghosts models, and I am trying to simplify it to free up a little bit of room. Not much but every bit counts. Its very tedious work.

Before, when you used a streak, you always respawned back at the beginning. So I added the option of spawning where you left off. Which in itself took work until a way was found that was reliable and you didnt fall down elevator shafts when you respawn. Also so you didnt get stuck in walls. It was never intended to use streak spawn protection for this purpose and the normal spawn protection time, which I think is 8 seconds, is too long. But it is for all the admins to get together and decide whether or not to cut that in half for streaks only. But of course I already know that those that do this are going to say no. It will cramp their style.

Ah the good ol days when all you did was just put a little red sticky dot on your screen.

Overpriced.

I hate quick scopers. If you are going to choose a sniper rifle, then act like one.

When activating and driving the car you are actually supposed to be standing there and players can shoot you. A couple seconds of spawn protection is needed because if someone sees you disappear, with a car in your place, he knows you will pop up again and will wait for you. Four seconds should be plenty.
