  1. I wish for a taco right about now... =-( but nobody will give me one or make a video about my taco wish.
  2. Lotta spam these days my banhammer is getting tired=-(
  3. Thanks AMI, that was priceless it made my day=) The reason people drink and drive you'll figure out tactical... You're not driving yet so you still have the mentality most start with, we'll see when you're 20-25 whether or not you believe the "law" is right and you must comply with it... Or if like most you think you're "better" than the average drunk and can drive a car, some really can but most generally can't.
  4. My first vehicle, I bought it brand new all those years ago, it shows it's age a bit but it gets me from A to B, perhaps its time I considered a trade-in.
  5. *joins fellow staff... As a whole us in the first-world are so de-sensitized it's comical to us when you try to "shock" us into "this could happen to you" type of bs... perhaps just perhaps get better laws and enforce them harshly people would be less prone to DUI, these commercials make drunk people laugh, not think about not driving.
  6. Release Dates, Inquiries on when it might be released percentages done, all No-Nos here... And now that I get the joy of cleaning this topic Don't mess it up again, report then leave it be.... Kids these days I sware.
  7. My banhammer needs a vacation.

      =-( It's how it's been lately too, nothing but spambots. My banhammer likes when the victim feels it's wrath *laughs maniacally

  8. The V3O is packed, in the editor you have to select unpack file under the modifications menu and find the V3O that you are trying to open and select unpack, this will uncompress it and make it read as a normal V3O file.
  9. LA Mod has one that enables the special lights I think its redirect script that has it in there, as does the floodlights script i believe both do it. v.EnableSpecialLights(true); From LA Mod Floodlight script.
  10. Well technically you are under the minimum system requirements on processor, not by much but you are so that might be the culprit. You can also try manually changing the screen resolution, according to your dxdiag your current screen size is smaller than what the game is running in, it might not be compatible with your monitor. 1.open "em4.cfg" in notepad 2.under the edit tab select find and enter the following: <var name="r_xres" value="1024" /> <var name="r_yres" value="768" />' 3.Change the values from it's current setting to: <var name="r_xres" value="800" /> <var name="r_yres" value="600" /> Save the config file and try again.
  11. This isnt overly difficult to do I just did it to the blackhawk to recall how, what happened is on some models the D-lines have been modified, while the model still works Z2 can't read the format anymore. Here is an example from the blackhawk to show what I mean. Original: D,6617,-5533,8621,-2,-246,68,549,853,0,0,0, Repaired: D,6617,-5533,8621,-2,-246,68,549,853,0,0,0,0 Follow these steps to do this change quickly and easilly.. 1.Unpack the V3O as you normally would any other model. 2.Open the model IN notepad, verify that the D-Lines are missing the 4th 0.. 3.Select ALL D-Lines for the model and copy them to the clipboard. 4.Open MS Excel. 5.Paste the D-lines to a new spreadsheet. 6.Under the data Tab find text to columns option; leave "delimited" enabled and press next, On the next one pick "comma" only as the option under the tickboxes.. This will break the text by column using the commas to signify the end of a column. 7. Select a single column that is just a singular 0 and copy it, in my case they came to be column J,K,L... 8. Select the next column over in my case it was M that was empty which I needed to paste my copied column of 0's. 9. Select all the columns for the file, ONLY the columns which contain data, A-M in my case and Copy them. 10. Open a new notepad document and paste the data into it... your result should look like this currently: D 6617 -5533 8621 -2 -246 68 549 853 0 0 0 0 11. Use the replace button found under edit (or by pressing CTRL+H) and replace " " (tab) with a comma "," and press replace all. NOTE: You will probrably have to copy the TAB entry from one of the lines because tab is used by the program to do other things. 12. Select all the D-Lines that have now been reformatted correctly, go back to the blackhawk V3O that you still have open on the other notepad and paste over the original D-Lines. 13. Save the V3O. You are now done the vehicle can be imported and freely modified now. Notes: Some vehicles may still NOT open correctly as they have animations created from some time ago which zmod cannot read correctly.
  12. I had a notebook that occasionally got the blue screen o' death from overheating on the Graphics accelerator, unfortunately no info on the comp so we can't really even gauage... But if the fans can't cool the thing it'll Blue screen ya or just flat out reboot, worst case shut it's self off completely... My current one was sitting on the bed, it shut it's self off to protect it's self....
  13. chances are you got a new driver set that is incompatible with the game, try hunting the net for drivers that are a bit older ehh say 6 months to a year than the driver set you're currently using... In some cases particularly older games they are incompatible with the "new" features the latest drivers have... I have one game to make my HDMI work I had to lose the game b/c the drivers that the HDMI works with do not support the game anymore... It's just a fact of life w/ old software.
  14. I'm naive when it comes to 7, far as I know it's a repaired vista, try running the game as an admin, and try DOWNGRADING your drivers, some games I have will NOT run the latest NVIDIA drivers for my particular card, you might be experiencing the same fate sadly, if you roam the net sometimes you get lucky and find the "midrange" drivers that arent the newest but are also not what she shipped with either, they seem to be the least "hostile" towards old games.
  15. I am all knowing and all seeing, Voodoo get your hands outta there! that's disgusting!

      Whatever it was that Voodoo had his hands in, it'll never beat what I had to put my hands into.

      Here's a clue:

      Dog eats keys to Ray's '96 Mark V.

      Ray feels like taking a drive in his '96 Mark V.

      Ray looks for keys, can't find them, notices dog looks suspicious.

      Ray determines that the dog must have ate the keys, drives his Excursion to TacoBell and gets 30 bucks worth of pseudo-mexican crap, feeds dog and waits.

      You know how there are 3 states to matter: Gas, liquid and solid? Well, gentlemen, there's something somewhere in between liquid and solid. And my keys were in there somewhere. Fun times.

      Riding in a '96 Mark V is still well worth it, though.

    4. Ray the Wise

      Yeah, they don't make those anymore.

      I'm not kidding, that car looked like a f***ing jet fighter. F-16 or some s**t. Love it.

  16. Oy as though we can't see people using dual accounts... So naive.
  17. currently I don't believe one exists, the game is setup for the diver or the boat to do it, could it theoretically be done? Maybe but an advanced scripter would be required to even test it out.
  18. In the end someone can quite easilly "spy" anyway if they wanted to... Its a MP scene for a game, not the nuclear launch codes for the ICBMs we're talking about... Focus on your environment and people will be more inclined to want to play online with ya'll, most people are not "diehard" mp players, as you've probrably noticed, this game has a horrid MP system, esp thanks to the whole hamachi required aspect for 99% of the users, so even getting people to wanna take the time to make mp work is a problem. The clans have rules/regs/protocols ya'll run by, but a potential user can't even see wtf they're applying for? I've never signed onto a site before I browsed it to see what is what, hard to believe alot of people do NOT want to give out their info to everyone and their mother to have their inboxes spammed by bs, just to see what a site really is about. Goodluck to ya'll.
  19. You have two "layers" assigned to this model's UV map, there should only be one layer, remove the 2nd one and it should resolve.
  20. I've never tried gifs on emergency I did try a great deal of formats however, the way emergency compresses im not sure that it can take a gif, let alone clearly, it'd probrably compress the ever loving god outta it. PNG, BMP, DDS seem to be the winners in formats the game will use.
  21. Step1: Capture the UV MAP image in the UV mapper, so we can see that you've indeed aligned it right. Step2: Open the material editor and capture what it displays for the settings for the texture file it's self.
  22. It's actually fairly easy to merge out the polygons on a model, I do it to mine before I UV map em because sometimes you place needless verts that can be done away with. In Z2 it's hard to find it, but Select>Quadrant (use whichever selection method you want quad is rectangular so it's easy to grab verts) select the vertices on one side of the car, then delete that side of the car, retain the other side of it so that it can be merged down, once it is merged down then you copy the side you didnt delete and mirror it, then flip it's faces and attatch the two halves of the car back together, this step can be skipped, however it'll take twice as long to merge the verts. Modify>Submesh>Weld action, enable selected mode and ensure you are in vertice editing mode on the model, left mouse click the vertices become one and the difference between them is split so that in the end the model actually stays fairly close to it's original shape. Now for the problem with doing this and why most won't do it... When you merge the vertices of a model you in turn wreck the UV mapping, so it has to be re UV mapped, for most model makers UV mapping is the more annoying aspect than making the model it's self, you have to realign all the crap on the UV again whereever you may have merged things together, some things should survive in tact unless the model is ungodly excessive in polygons. Making a ehh 10k poly car into an EM4 car wouldnt be too difficult, however at 20-30k range it becomes pretty useless, better to build a model on top the high poly one.
  23. Out of sheer drunken boredum b/c my better half is passed out, I decided to check the clan sites out that are advertised here... All I can think of is it amazes me how little you guys allow the potential user(s) to see about what you're about... Everything on your sites is locked out restricted so a user won't have a clue wtf they are even joining other than via your advertisements... Not the best of ideas what if one doesnt care for your SOPs or Rules? You might wanna open up access for users to see what it is they are really joining so they might be enlightened to what it is they'll be doing instead of forcing membership just to see wtf you really are about. =)
  24. If i recall right, with physics disabled for the model you want to go up in the air press and hold I believe it's alternate key and left mouse click and it'll go up in the air... I've not had to do that for some time though so i might be mistaken.
  25. The way you wrote it, sounds like you want to have it swap what is on the signboard, to do that put what u want to display on two singular plates just 4 vert 2 poly things, map them and all that, then use the animation to make one sink into the sign, the other be outside and alternate.
