    soulless = no soul = no life after death...


    it seems somebody out there decided that, as you wont have life after death, you should have a longer life before death... :D


    is that or maybe its only you are very lucky [12]

    i find the name quite suitable: he fought the arabic/muslim and they used this name
    if you want something more spanish style, el cid was also known as "campeador" (el cid campeador), that is an ancient and rather unusual spanish word that means "great warrior", so you can use "tizona del campeador"


    however, i have a better name for the gun: el cid has 2 swords, "tizona" and "colada" (they both had a interesting history btw)... so "colada del cid" would be a great name :D


    returning on topic :), i think these guns could be a nice addition for future versions of the mod. i like specially the backgroud: they fit nicely with the story behind the mod. good work m8 :)

    Give these sh**ideas to someone else and stop spamming this forum.

    this is an unfortunate comment blaster
    he has interesting ideas and new ideas should always be welcome
    you can agree or not with those ideas, but it doesnt allow you to call them that way...
    and definitively it cannot be said spam...


    relative to the ideas themselves, thats my oppinion:


    the npcs power is not equally balanced in vanilla FL than in CF:


    in vanilla a new player can become rich and powerful by doing missions and not trading at all -slow but possible-, while in CF its much more difficult: npcs are very hard for new players in CF.


    on the other hand, in vanilla even a top figher with nomad weps and a vhf can have some trouble fighting against a group of lvl 19 bounty hunters or corsairs, but in CF top fighters can ignore most npcs everywhere but in DK systems: CF npcs are very easy for advanced players


    those are facts, no oppinions... but the main thing here is what behaviour do we want in CF?


    i mean, maybe we prefer this new balance of power...


    obviously this is mainly a MP mod, and with this balance the pvp is easier: no need to be aware of those npcs, pvp is much more interesting than npcs killing so more ppl is looking for pvp and activity is greater...


    so, even if i think hubris ideas are not so bad, mainly as possible additions to SP versions of the mod, i think most players in the community dont want big changes in the current balance of power

    Other languages are pronounced as they are spelt.

    agreed... fortunately you dont need to pronounce it in fl or forum 8)

    np m8, crush sister miriam and their fanatic friends for me ;)


    btw, the server is not down amk... the website shows the "server is rebooting" flag but it is online :)

    to test if its a problem with dual processor, try to assing the game exe to only 1 cpu using this centaurian:


    -------------------------------------
    Fix #3 - Set the Affinity Manually


    Finally, the last and least glorious of the fixes is to manually set the CPU affinity of certain programs. This can be done in several ways.
    1. Alt-Tab out of your game, CTRL-ALT-DEL to the Task Manager, Under the Processes tab, right click the .exe file for your game and go to Set Affinity, Uncheck CPU 1.


    2. Use a program to launch games
    Win2000/WinXP Launcher to load games. (Available here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Win2000_Launcher_d438.html or http://www.majorgeeks.com/WinLauncherXP_d870.html). This will allow you to set the CPU affinity before loading the game, which is useful for games that don't respond well to Alt-Tabbing.


    3. Use an affinity masking tool such as
    ImageCFG (http://www.robpol86.com/Pages/imagecfg.php for instructions on how to use). Backup your .exe before using this program. Imagecfg has a problem with some directories with spaces in them, so its easiest to stick it in the folder with the *.exe file you want to change. Then use the command you need (knowledge of the DOS prompt is a must ):


    imagecfg -a 0x1 game.exe for core 1
    imagecfg -a 0x2 game.exe for core 2


    This will alter your .exe file, so make a backup of it. Especially since future game patches might not work with a patched .exe.

    --------------------------------------



    there is a full guide to solve this problem with dual cpu computers in games in this website:
    http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=983781


    in that website the "fix 1" is not well described... the amd patch not only ads the userpmtime to the windows boot options so dont try to do the fix 1 by the second way described
    (i know, it sounds confusing... just read the website and everything will fit in ^^)


    lancelot, if yours is one of the new AMD64 dual cpus, appliyng the fixes in that web should solve the problem

    mmm, m8, i know some girls that could crush you using an eagle and only one hand... your sentence above is unfortunate and may be considered offensive by some people. i suggest you to stop posting these type of sentences in this forum or you may discover we have forum moderators here


    on the other hand, i think this thread is going off topic: nobody cast doubt on the wellness of roleplaying, but on the convenience of threat players with banning, and i think darkstalker and then op put clear what can and what cannot be done about bans before (thus the finito word in ops post ^^)

    mmm, death dealer is a quite weird name for somebody working in a hospital ER...
    ...i hope not need to go to a hospital in abilene in the future :D


    anyways, welcome to crossfire :)

    even if somebody could claim some of the inventions above are not brit at all, there is a fact that finishes all arguing:
    we spanish invented siesta... we rule :D


    btw, this is going too off topic, dont u think?
