  1. I like to play old games simple because my computer is old, it cant run new games with enjoyable frame rates. Games like tribes 1 are great, you still have that online experience while you are enjoying the game. Also another favourite of mine would be battlezone 2 combat commander, for those that havn't heard of this game it is pretty much an rpg game playing in first person which is great fun, alot of mods for it too as not many people are online with the unmodded game.Overall in my opinion old games are a treasure
  2. not a bad job.. how much did it end up costing? i need a new pc soon, this one is only a 1ghz celeron. I think my one would be around $800 for the case components.
  3. Hmm i never used google desktop anyways, as it kept saying it conflicted with my antivirus (NOD32). That is not the first time they have breached privacy though...
  4. I would say firefox was great but after a few 'bugs' that was really annoying plus the very slow startup times, i switched to opera, no problems so far and it would be the greatest browser i've used.I have never really used thunderbird because opera has integrated email capabilities.Right now i am installing ie7 to have as a backup browser.Overall i think mozilla is a good company but after some bugs i have experienced i wouldnt switch back
  5. Yeah i have, not much of a reply yet. I might have another go at contacting them.
  6. Maybe you could check the Motorola website or some other resource sites
  7. Yeah. Site is not loading so dont bother trying. Next time how about mention some info about what the game is like, what features it has, how many people play it etc...You could also try and work on your spelling
  8. I agree, flash is the best for complex and quality designs.If you just need to do some quick animations, say a few frames then gif will be the best option, but it tends to be quite choppy.Also high quality flash can really drag some computers down because of all the cpu and video rendering it needs, but at least you can adjust the quality level to get better performance.
  9. Try and include your keywords in your page. Sometimes if you put it at the very top of your page in the same colour as the background, that will work and your visitors dont need to see it. Also take a look around https://www.google.com/webmasters/ that has a lot of helpful info there, and it is pretty much valid for most search engines
  10. i would go with PHP. I have started learning it and it is the best so far for me. Even though i do create my sites in frontpage and some features need asp, they can easily be done with php, but with a little more coding as frontpage adds the code automatically to asp scripts. Also as m^e said its a pain to run it on a windows server. Apache is far better and is freely downloadable, but with windows iis... I had my windows installed from a computer support service, and i didnt get the windows cd with it. So im stuck i cant and dont want to use iis even though there are few features that will be handy, apache is the better over that and so is PHP.ASP and IIS are not freely downloadable PHP and apache are.
  11. I would probably vote it 8/10.Simple because, they are a great service but somethings take time, just say, submitting your site to google. It probably wont get on the listings for a few weeks, maybe even months.But overall google is great. They offer a wide range of searching tools and programs that prove to be very helpful to some people.
  12. i recently bought a book called windows game programming gurus and it is pretty good, only thing is that i need to know c++ to get the full advantage.That site that snutz mentioned, http://www.cplusplus.com/ has very good tutorials and is a great resource site. Of course learning a new programming language will be easier if you have had past experience with programming.Good luck!
  13. lol ok. now i know what to do if i ever have that problem when i upgrade my computer
  14. Yeah it has a load of new features, plus a cleaner interface. I have always used the google toolbar and the version 4, and since i have a google account it all integrates nicely. Even on a computer with multi users, each user has seperate preferences. If one person has one google account, the other users can have their seperate account too.
  15. Hi.. well soon after i got my ssh access, all my mysql databases seem to have dissapeared.What is going on, i dont have the LATEST backups of the databases and for one thing that i recently set up i dont even have a backup at all.Can you recover my databases?My subdomain is djn.astahost.comThanksedit: im on server gamma
  16. yeah i agree, but at least you can get some fun out of it. Anyways forgot to post the link to the site. (even though it NEVER gets updated) http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and forums http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  17. Tactical ops is a 3d shooter game similar to counterstrike, and around the same age as CS 1.6, and some people think that tactical ops is actually better than CS in some ways. The game mode is really a team deathmatch with some objectives involved, such as planting the bomb or escorting the hostages. There are a number of guns including: AK-47 MP5/MP5 SD Desert Eagle M4A2 Of course there are more weapons than those, also there are a number of grenades such as: Concussion Grenade FlashBang HE Grenade Smoke Grenade There are also alot of experienced mappers so that means there are alot of custom maps. Almost every server has a very extensive map list including alot of mappacks. Pretty soon TO:C, which is Tactical ops crossfire, will come out soon. You could think of it as Tactical Ops 2, which will use the UT2k4 engine and will only be avalible as a mod (for the first few years anyway). Overall try this game if you can get a hold of it. It would only be worth a few dollars now. Or if you have UT2k4 go try the BETA version of TO:C And who knows, maybe this game can turn out better than counterstrike. EDIT: I just noticed that advertising box shown above this thread showing tactical ops. At Amazon it is only $0.88!!
  18. Ok well now that i have my webhosting here at Xisto, i used the search engine submit script.So.. google will crawl all your pages if there are links to them?Because i have a few 'mini-sites' on subdomains and would they get linked on their own or do i need to place links to them.Thanks again for all your replies
  19. okay thanks for that. I activated my web hosting with no problems. Also is there anyway to test if cpanel will send to my email, just to make sure?
  20. It would probably be there if they need to contact you. Rarely happens if it is free hosting. If you KNOW for SURE it is a trusted company it would be ok to put your last name in. I still wouldnt put my address though. You never know what will/can happen.Otherwise if it is not a trusted company just dont bother with it or use fake information.
  21. Yeah, it IS to microsofts advantage. They just want people to buy their software and not use illegal/cracked versions. This is really a pain for me because my computer had to be sent away to a computer store for some deep maintenance. It came back with windows xp, (yes it was on the bill) but... this genuine advantage crap is really annoying. There are downloads that i need from microsofts site and i simply cannot get to it anymore. I had gotten an upgrade and now it keeps saying my windows is not genuine.This is not fair. I payed for it, it was working until a minor upgrade.
  22. Yes tribes 1 is old. That doesn't mean it isnt a great game, well it is a bit boring playing the 'ol base mod, but... now there is a huge selection of mods to choose from. Anyway, for people that do not know what tribes is: Its a 'futuristic' 3d shooter and strategy/team strategy game. There are a number of game modes to play including: Deathmatch CTF - Capture the flag TDM - Team Deathmatch But... that is pretty much playing the standard game (know as the base mod).BUT other mods enhance the game ALOT, adding new weapons, new items and more functionality. The best thing is you dont need to download these. Most are server-side so you just fireup tribes and join any server. Other mods such as the RPG mod use the tribes engine to make a role playing games. This is the only mod you will need to download to play. The best part about tribes 1 is its free! Sierra released the game free a while back. Some of the base weapons are: Blaster Chaingun Plasma gun ELF gun Laser rifle All energy weapons will eat up your energy (obviously!), the energy is also shared with your jump jets, so watch out if you are trying to jet and use energy weapons at the same time!I would say, just download the game, patch it to version 1.30 (installing the 1.11 patch first). The whole game is only around 135mb so you have nothing to loose! download link: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ also the system requirements (quite low, but some people dont have very powerful computers): (specs taken from Sierras website). Enjoy!
  23. yeah i just noticed before i posted it i should have quoted it, but theres no edit button..
  24. Ive recently been approved for free hosting and i havnt got the email. Checked in the junk email folder, not there. How long does it take for the email to send?Just want to know if theres a problem here if the email did send.Thanks
