Help / Addon error a server prefs addon "server is running is different from yours"

« on: August 24, 2018, 08:48:07 PM »

Hello Just getting back into the game from years ago and I have an issue and currently can't figure out which server preference addon it is.
But when I join other servers that have it I get this error, it says I'm running version 0.0 dev? while current is something like version 2.4
anyone know what addon this is and where I could find the current build/update? thanks!

currently have installed that could be causing this:
Glass
server_prefs
server_gamepreference manger v2 from RTB archive.

Off Topic / Happy Towel day :D (Hitchhikers Guide) in Memory of Douglas Adams

« on: May 25, 2011, 09:26:10 AM »

to fans of the late Douglas Adams and his great book series hitchhikers guide we celebrate towel day!

Quote

A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitch hiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

Quote

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move."

don't forget your towel! probably going to watch the movie today even if it's nothing like the book

Off Topic / AT&T to Impose Data Caps on DSL, U-Verse Customers Starting May 2

Quote

citing an official confirmation from AT&T rep Seth Bloom, DSLReports is, well, reporting that AT&T will pull the trigger on data caps on heavy users of its U-Verse and DSL offerings, starting May 2.

DSL users will receive a 150GB cap, while U-verse users will receive a 250GB cap, with penalties imposed after a customer exceeds the limits three times or more. The penalty's price? $10 per 50GB over the limit.

Notices will be sent to customers beginning March 18, so, enjoy those.

And as is the case with their wireless updates, U-Verse and DSL customers will receive alerts from AT&T as they approach 65, 90 and 100% of their allowance.

Games / Off-Road Velociraptor Safari

« on: March 31, 2011, 11:19:27 AM »

Raptor Safari is a journey of one raptor and his trusty sidekick: A 4x4 Sport Utility Vehicle. His mission? To run down prehistoric brethren in the past to harvest them as taco meat for the future. Or something like that. Actually, forget it. Here's the important part: You're driving around in a badass 4x4 as a monocled raptor doing stunts and killing things. This is the most amount of fun ever recorded in the history of man or raptor.

this game had an HD version in the works but is no longer in active development:
http://raptorsafari.com/
you can still play the web/demo version here: http://blurst.com/raptor-safari/

or buy it for 3$
which unlocks sandbox mode and full screen offline mode, etc

Games / Nightmare house 2 (source mod) MORE TRAILERS

« on: December 28, 2010, 08:51:07 PM »

In Nightmare House 2 you wake up inside an abandoned hospital with no understanding of how you came to be there, only a vague memory of the girl from Nightmare House haunts you. Soon it will be difficult to determine between a dream and reality. How long will it take you to realize that escape is not an option?

Not the scariest source game out there but I still had a fun time playing it
