This is really great thing, maps looks already good, gun look bad <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: --> but it is not about it! I would personaly go and ask all polycount modellers for they support ( so you can get a lot of quality player and weapon models ) , there is almost full weapon pack which isn't based at Q3

Woah, I missed some releases! I did try out 0.3 when it was released and liked it. So I downloaded 0.51 and I must say: it really keeps getting better and better! Great work, CheapAlert! However it also grows bigger and bigger, I guess. And this is where I want to make a suggestion. You helped me some time ago (with HeXen95) and perhaps now I can help your project a bit? I'm a compression fanatic and just for fun I tried to reduce the size a bit. Well, and I was able to cut it down from the 56MB zip-file to a much more light-weight 40MB. Sometimes I achive this by using multiple compression programs and in the end it is actually good for nothing but me seeing how small I can get it. But these 40MB version is achived just by using one powerful compressor and repacking the ressource file. I removed the 22 "thumbs.db" files that should not really be needed (saved about 700k) and all the programs I am using are free. Infozip is free software and deltree is from the FreeDOS-project. UHArc is also free for non-comercial use. On my system decompression takes about 45 seconds (decompressing the original oa051.zip takes 10 seconds) and then slightly less than 40 seconds more for rebuilding the ressource pk3. From my point of view these decompression times are perfectly acceptable and this could save you quite a bit of bandwith and others some download time, too. I uploaded the file to a 1-click-hoster so that you can try it out and judge for yourself wether you like it or not. You can download it here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=EPNNHTD3">http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=EPNNHTD3</a><!-- m -->

I don't think the actual age of someone means a thing when it comes to an identity like this. I mean, internet communities don't care about the age of someone because it is an irrelevant factor. If CheapAlert were, let's say, twelve, he'd still be much older than me here, even though I'm thirteen, because he is far more experienced.

Not entirely true. Certain things are not legal under the age of 21/18/13, and abuse/fraud are easily the result. For example, Hexen is a teen (13+) rated game, and our board even has a COPPA saying at signup that if you are below 13 you can't sign up. Meaning if someone here is below 13 and has lied about his/her age, both he/she and we as forum providers can get in trouble. Same goes for webhosting, if Cheapy is under 13 and he manages websites hosted by Gamespy, he would've had to lie to them because it's illegal for him to do so (unless Gamespy doesn't care shit which is perfectly possible).

Everyone is free to do what they want, if he wants to write like that, is his thing, right? As for Planet Gargoyle being a private server, I don't think it ever was private. First off, I didn't impose on him to stop typing in the style he does, I was merely stating that his style belongs to an age group I assumed was far younger than his (which apparently is true). [quote="TheCount":3gssd2l0]I don't think the actual age of someone means a thing when it comes to an identity like this. I mean, internet communities don't care about the age of someone because it is an irrelevant factor. Assuming everybody tells the truth about their age on a forum, the communities are still going to stereotype young minors as the prime cause of trolling, flooding, and other forum abusing (not necessarily product spamming though). Hell, remember the Uhanimar and D'sparil heat on Ravenforums about 2 years ago? So in that sense, communities do care about the age of their members, not only to protect children from adult-related material and all-out maniacs, but to maintain the utmost quality of their boards. I know it's an unfair statement, but the main perpetrators of immature use of technology are pubescents and younger. [quote="TheCount":3gssd2l0]If CheapAlert were, let's say, twelve, he'd still be much older than me here, even though I'm thirteen, because he is far more experienced. Count, this does not make even the slightest bit of sense. Read it over. [quote="TheCount":3gssd2l0]True. But what is wrong with that? You're right in the sense of "freedom of expression" that my original statement is invalid. Of course I agree that all persons have a right to say what they want, provided that a) they understand what they're talking about, b) they can defend what they're talking about, and c) they do not intentionally offend anyone, and assume responsibility if they do. However, pubescents and younger are not mature physically, psychologically, cognitively, fiscally, biologically, sociologically, politically, the list goes on. What happens is they don't always know what they say, often they believe something because their parents believe it (Just this morning my 14-year old neighbour was going on and on about how he hates the new Canadian government, and I asked him. "Why?" and he studdered and got really frustrated at me. He'd blurt out some random facts that I clearly heard from his dad before, and it was blatantly obvious he was just a ghost groove on an LP). So in that sense, that's why I initially wrote my statement, because that kind of cynical regurgitaged garbage is one we don't need to hear.

This sparks another interesting debate: maybe it's because I started playing violent video games since age 6, and still grew up to be a pacifist socialist, that I don't believe that they cause violent behaviour in children. Of course there may be a positive correlation, but I'm not convinced violent video games harm children. Besides, they're fantasy. If you want to protect them from violence, why not take it to the next level and stop them from reading the newspaper? You can't (and shouldn't) overprotect your children from everything, because what happens is that builds a stronger sense of innocence in them, where reality to them is purely optimistic and everyone is immortal and the stork delivers children to new couples. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> And quite honestly, if tragedy hits the family, say a pet or parent dies, then it's gonna hurt them far worse than any video game.

I don't think violent video games are the cause of violent behaivour in people, besides, I've seen some games which are "overrated" for my taste (Painkiller is a perfect example of it), I start playing them and then see some guts flying over there <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> , laugh a little and then I think "It's enough" and stop playing the game for a while, heh! Besides if someone is crazy enough to believe that situations presented in video games are real, he/she deserves to be away from society and is a danger for others and himself IMO.

I think the main issue violent meadia in general raises today is that, put simply, they take true violence out of it's context and projects it as something that can be not only normal, but also appealing and "fun" (as long as it's not YOU being the subject of it). Video games are no different from role playing games in the sense you can personnaly pretend to be something you are not (a superhero that can fly, a warlord controlling vast minions, or some crazy space marine that goes to Mars fight demons carrying nothing other than a sidearm?). All this pretending to be may cause illusions of power (like some defend), but I think the main issue is in fact the way all this "fake" violence we are exposed to daily contributes to "deaden" our sensibility toward real violence. It's something like those war veterans that say when they first killed another human being, they were victim of all sorts of pysichological suffering, but as time went by and they had the chance of killing more "enemies", they would eventually feel nothing and see them as merely objects, some even don't regret a thing the fact they did kill many men. So practise does kill sensibility. I find the GTA series for example to be pretty disgusting because loving that game is the same as to confess to one self: "I'm so glad I can be one of those scary, scary black men that I fled from when going to school (or mafia guy, drug dealer or whatever), do all the nasty things criminals do, involve myself in gang wars, spank some fools in the street for no reason and run away from the police, all in the confort of my bedroom". I'm sorry for the GTA fans here, but it's just my opinion, I'm no morality crusader or anything close, but I just can't find the fun in doing all the things I KNOW can only bring pain to others, even if it's all fantasy and the people are nothing but 3d models, etc. etc... Maybe I'm getting like those old fashion rant lovers, but I do think some issues are not fun to play at all, and even though I'm yet to find my own answer to the whole violent games scandal that goes on in USA and other countires, I do wonder how much Doom really influenced those mad F*****s that spent their free time shooting animals with the shotgun daddy gave them (!) and then went on to shoot their school mates and teachers just for the fun of it, or that teenager who got himself into a gunfire war with the police because he was trying to see if it was as fun as it was in GTA (supposedly, of course, as this is what the news bring to us, and the real story is always deeper than easy to digest punch lines). Ah, it's all very complex... <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->

I think it's all about integrity of a person. I for example like fighting enemies in a game, but even in such a virtual world I don't kill innocents and defenseless people/animals just for the fun of it. Indeed if often went out of my way and actually hurt my own chances to win the game by helping those who suffered.

I think it also has to do with whether the person gets mentally influenced easily by videogames or television, etc. For example, infomercials in Argentina are everytime more commercial and absurd. A 7 year old may ask his parents to buy him the new "doggysteps" (which is no more than a platform with two steps), while another may just say "andate a la mierda" while watching it, just like I would (but not out loud, of course). I've been playing Hexen since I was 7, and never did it influence in my behaviour.

These "inaccurate age limits" are constructed based on the mean data we have on psychological development in people as they grow. Of course there are exceptions, and everybody matures differently, but overall we find the majority age of when a certain function (like conception capabilities, or hormone stability) is complete, and that's how the age limits are sanctioned. [quote="TheCount":2jnto7e3]But the loophole is that this is not always true. You can't take all the pubescents under that statement, because there are exceptions. By definition, a pubescent is a person going through puberty, which by definition means the transition from childhood into adulthood. Only when they're mature in most senses are they considered adults (though legally only adolescents) and no longer pubescents. Remember that some people don't hit puberty until they're 16, so even when they turn 18 and they haven't finished puberty yet, legally they're adults, but not biologically.

Maybe it's Mago's taste for videogames what spoke there <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->, I personally don't enjoy games with excessive amounts of senseless violence, GTA isn't a bad game, it just has some senseless violence here and there and it's not that bad, but I personally wouldn't play it everyday (if you think about it, gameplay becomes repetitive after a while <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? --> ), it becomes boring very fast, I prefer games that unfold the story as you advance more, but it's a matter of personal tastes, I guess.

[quote="The 4th Class":zvyh8h1u]Ah yes, that made front page news all over Canada just today. Sad story, and it's evidence that his actions were not because of his love of violent fantasy, but because of his secludedness and (we can only assume) his troubled history. IMO general reason is that nobody really cares <!-- s:x --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mad.gif" alt=":x" title="Mad" /><!-- s:x --> . Imagine - a lone, secluded teenager, wearing black clothes... Many things point on the fact he isn't allright. Anybody tried to aid? Even after his post on internet forum about dying from gunshot and that life sucks - does anybody tried to cheer him up? Seems that society is mainly worried about gun control laws. Well, they will remove all the guns from the country and teens will use knives, tools etc, nothing would change in the essence of the problem. There's something rot in dutch kingdom, as Hamlet said. And videogames are simply an additional affection. [quote="The 4th Class":zvyh8h1u] Only when they're mature in most senses are they considered adults (though legally only adolescents) and no longer pubescents. Remember that some people don't hit puberty until they're 16, so even when they turn 18 and they haven't finished puberty yet, legally they're adults, but not biologically. Question of adultiness is a bit more complex in my humble opinion. I sometimes think that many so-called "adults" will not pass the "adulty" test if there was one.

[quote="leilei":ibv68bhk]i've released version 0.8.0 i'm thinking of stopping the project after 3 years it's been fun I finally downloaded this game (a week ago). I was a fan of Q3 once, but then became bored. Open Arena made me interested again <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc2.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->. I think that's very nice job you done there, although few maps look too simple in design and texturing, and also unfortunately I could not choose a player model I would really like... (so I took that mafia guy). And I really liked the new set of comments bot make during play. Completed 3 tiers so far, and played dozen of CTF skirmishes. There are some maps that introduce good ideas in design, for example the CTF one where 3 platforms in space are totally separated and not visible at all from each other and you travel between them thru warp tube or something.. if I was a bot this won't be a problem, but for a human who relies on senses this causes some problems in orientation <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc2.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> I really think you should add couple of player models there. And also there are some minor bugs I notcied. For instance, I couldn't undertsand why everytime I start the game I have not the player model I chosen, but Gargoyle, until I am killed for the first time.
