sounds like you have too much free time on your hands sonny Jim !

you need to get some children, then, we'll see how much time you have for enhancing and playing world of warcraft :-)

My bet, it'll fade into a distant memory !

One of the best maps - set in "rural" England. I have mucked around with the code and static meshes and added vehicles and weapons and new textures to the map. We play 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 deathmatch on this. Lots of hidy places and great Raptor CAP...

It's great because I use one of my servers to host a game and we have around 5 or 6 chaps around the UK to join.

All fairly simple to operate and quite a good network contention as well.

Right, some more DM-Goatswood now.... speak later!

[milanbenes]

ahh very nice

Milan.

[hyperD]

ahh very nice what is UT ?

think of the kids...

mrs and ikkle one are with the in-laws

Proper planning and preparation Rodders !

Milan.

Indeed sir...

UT is Unreal Tournament, a first person shoot-em-up but also a multiplayer game.

Slightly dated and not as good as some of the newer ones that you may have heard of such as Quake, CounterStrike etc but not one of those huge massively online things such as SecondLife and World of Warcraft etc

Here's a link:

Wiki UT2004

I like it because I can customise maps fairly quickly and my mates and I can have a chat and a beer without the 200 mile drive... (which we do every other month when we meet up...)

We use Skype confernce to chat as we play... very good.

Work over, it's beer and CoH time!

Mr Beans! Think of the children....!

I'm effectively in the office but not working tonight...still playing UT2004 with some mates as the wife is away... however, I did code some Java with the maps as everything in UT is in Java - being a C#/VB man it was effectively learning some IT... just...

Will do some inheritance of a DataGrid tomorrow for a client... pretty good this OO .NET stuff...and I'm an ASP scripty/utility coder type... might make a career out of it instead of mucking around with me blue chip clients...

More purchase orders, more purchase orders, purchase orders, more purchase orders, purchase orders, more purchase orders, purchase orders, more purchase orders, ... (the hyperD prayer...)

[milanbenes]

back in the office and the show continues

anyone else working tonight ?

Milan.

[milanbenes]

Hi Hyper,

nice to hear from you

Milan.

[hyperD]

Oi! Beans! I'm still here... but I played a good online game of Unreal Tournament 2004 on my servers with some mates and then I'm back in the .NET stuff for a client.

One of the (many) benefits of working from home: choose your time to work with your family. We could all do it if it were not for:

(i) Gordon Broon

(ii) Middle managers who are so tulip that they are too scared to allow any team to work from home because they are so bad and so afraid of thinking they will lose control...

Working from home solves so many problems... one can only assume the government would be upset at the loss of revenue...

[AtW]

What's that?

[milanbenes]

what about you, (cough), social life ?

Milan.
