    [3D] Work in Progress - Docks of Bral *SPOILERS!*

    I think the eye makeup is a bit strong or that the eyes (whites and iris's) needs lightening as they seem like blobs of black. Her nose is very pointy too - unless of course thats a racial trait. Darn good work all round tho. I can believe how much effort this must have been.

    Halo3 TU2 ?

    Anyone tried it, is it better, anyone caught by the new banhammer ? I haven't tried it yet but will soon though it looks like it ought to be an improvement if you shell out for the legendary map pack. It appears as though it will fix some of the issues with people bailing on team games. Anyone...

    Visually appealing dice roller?

    I write ViewingDale dice app which is very similar for the PC. It might work on a tablet PC but the program uses hardware graphics card acceleration to do it. You can switch that off if it whinges about that tho. Its a completely free app so try it here:-...

    2008 Olympics (Opening Ceremony + Other Discussion)

    Thought Id give a british angle on things. I always get excited by the olympics and think that the politics should not get in the way of the sport. The opening ceremony was magneficent but it really was chest beating on an epic scale though why not. Apart from the goose stepping flag bearers I...

    Firefox - 3 Questions

    I would say that adblock speeds up browsing. Theres many sites where they preload some of the adverts and a) some of them are big and b) sometimes the adsites are down and the page hangs until the ads are in. Ultimately its downloading less so generally its faster but I would think for slow...

    Firefox - 3 Questions

    Now I know frizell just said but let me repeat it just to be crystal... Get adblock. Get NoScript. Do it. Do it now !!! You wont regret. Actually, you will need an adblock script. Allow me to suggest mine - you will need to save it as a text file and import it tho... [Adblock]...

    Technical Help - Screen Display

    Basically you need to swap some stuff out. The cable and the monitor for starters. My money is on the actual monitor tho. Its highly unlikely to be a software or configuration issue.

    [PC, Widows XP] How Do I Increase My Virtual Memory?

    You have a PC with X amount of RAM which sits on chips as part of the RAM sticks that you have in the PC. Some of this is used up by the OS but you probably get all but a few hundred meg of it. Say you have 2Gb. When you open more apps and burn through it all, eventually it runs out and the OS...

    Best mapping software for D&D-type games?

    I write ViewingDale and it could do all of those things no problem. Of course I am biased but I am also a member of the Cartographers Guild which has a huge amount of maps of different styles and states, techniques, and advice and the members use everything out there including just pencils so...

    12rounds' new illustrations

    Love them all but I had to use the Wyvern as a steed in my Marshy Fenland area of the Community World Building Project at the Cartographers Guild. Thats all similarly CC'ed too if you would like to reciprocate the theft :)

    Some maps & artwork from my campaign.

    Add another 'awesome' to the tally... Hey Kris these, along with the others, are awesome - as has been repeatedly stated ! I generally hang out on the Cartographers Guild (.com) now and have not been on EnWorld for a while - its so busy all the time. Anyway, the guys there use Inkscape a lot...

    Looking to get a new gaming pc

    Couldn't comment on games which are probably programmed to follow the common hardware and not vice-versa but its simply not true at all that software wont use the extra cores. It depends on what the task is. My apps have been multi threaded since they began and the one I have been working on for...

    Grr!! More reasons to hate apple...

    LOL, This thread should be archived for all eternity, to be dusted off and brought out at any time anyone wants to see a thread starting out as a rant and ending up as rational (and humorous) postings. I gotta re-read this just to determine at exactly what point the knuckle children entered...

    Why are website re-designs always worse...

    Yup, so get some serious exorcism going with forefox + noscript extension (Adblock too !) Yes many sites are lazy azhrei just about summed it up. The one that intrigues me is the WotC site where it boots into the site at full screen but when the java / CSS template, or whatever it is, kicks in...

    Anybody Have this Problem With Fantasy Grounds?

    I don't generally comment on other VTTs but what you need to do is some port forwarding. See if you can find your router on this list and follow instructions. http://portforward.com/routers.htm To check you can use GRC's "shields up" (off of one of the menu tabs) which does a port scan of your...

    Need Free HTML Editor

    I am sure that drothgery's needs are much more advanced than mine and must do this for a day job and must know what he is talking about so I will accept that must be the way it is. I checked on a number of big sites to see what they did just for my curiosity. DIV Table www.ebay.co.uk x...

    Need Free HTML Editor

    I'm with Thanee all the way here. I use notepad or the editor of DevStudio (as a text editor only) if its handy. But theres no problem with notepad at all. Honestly all this need for a WYSIWYG nonsense is pulp. Ultimately its got to look right in all the browsers so use the browser. Also, most...

    Virtual TableTop on a Hosted Site??

    Firstly all the services that you mention are web specific which could be run from either Linux (probably apache) or Windows with its IIS. Secondly, although you can run PHP, CGI etc its not the same as running an app as you would also need to get ports and sockets sorted out. So I don't think...

    Video Issues...

    You never mentioned what PSU you had. I was told that its 185W idle for a GTX and more if going full tilt like 3DMark would make it. I know that intel CPUs slow down when hot but I am not sure if that is true if they start to run out of power. I don't know what 8800's do either. At any rate you...
