Off Topic / Graphics Card Swap. Hao2?

« on: December 06, 2009, 06:30:21 PM »

Hey there. Recently I found that my gaming computer has a pitiful graphics card and is even on the "legacy" list. This card would be the ATI Radeon X300.
I was wondering as to whether or not I could go about switching that card with the Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT which is in my general use computer. Would I need anything extra or do I simply switch them and get drivers?
Any help would be appreciated!
:D

I just picked up a copy of PCGamer Magazine from a local newsstand.
I was reading and saw an article titled "24 Hours Of Garry's Mod"

I read that article and LilRobot's GMOD server was featured!
Want to see yourself? Grab one this month's issue (With the Dragon Age:Origins Cover) and turn to page 86.

Congrats LilRobot I guess!

« on: November 06, 2009, 08:59:15 PM »

Hey hey there.
This is a very simple tutorial to making music. Feel free to use it!

Getting a song
First of all, you should have an idea for what song you would like to use.
You could have an mp3 on your computer already, or you could get one from Youtube.
If you have a song already downloaded skip over the next section.

Getting a song from Youtube
Alrighty then, get a Youtube video. Copy down the URL then head on over to: Here!
Paste it in and download the song real quick. Save the MP3 and head on to the next section.

Creating the Mono OGG
Now you will need to grab a copy of Audacity from Here!
Open Audacity and open up your MP3.

Follow the following if you are using a stereo MP3! If you are using a mono mp3 then head over to the next section




Lastly
Be sure to edit your MP3 down so it's legal for Blockland and loops pretty well.
Now just hit File -> Export as OGG Vorbis and save it into your Blockland music folder.

Now just post it!

Mapping Help / Unable to load Interior?

« on: September 23, 2009, 09:22:49 PM »

Hello there.
I made an interior recently in Torque Constructor.
I placed all textures I used in Constructor into the zip for it, edited a base mission file for flatlands to load with the name and terrain files I chose.
I placed the interior in the zip file as well.

I go to World Editor Creator in the Mission Editor. I go to Interiors, Addons, My zip folder, and select my interior.
I get this in the console and nothing appears in the mission editor.


When exporting the .dif in Mission Editor, I selected "Export as dif"

Can anybody help me with this issue?

Drama / Benofdoom - Can't get over Blockintosh's death?

« on: September 19, 2009, 12:12:51 PM »

I'm looking through the server list today, and I find this.

Now, if I understood correctly, Blockintosh was shut down a while ago.
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=77687.0

So anyways, I join the game. Keep in mind I took the screenshots in another map because I was banned after this.



After this conversation,

Anyways, discuss this guy.

Off Topic / Installing Ubuntu without a CD?

« on: September 13, 2009, 04:38:02 PM »

Hey there. I need some help. I've been trying to install Ubuntu onto my server computer ( Got a Wireless PSI card or whatever so I can do it now. ) but I realized that after a bunch of tests, my CD Rom drive either isn't compatible with my Ubuntu CD I got from a Linux magazine, or my CD Rom drive is broken completely.
I would really really like it if I could get Ubuntu working on that server. Windows is absolutely terrible on it.
Any ideas on how to boot the install from anything other than a CD?
If so, could you give me a guide ( Or link to one )?
Thanks in advance.
