    I meditate on regular basis, I think its just the conscious mind shutting up for a bit, letting the subconscious also relax (sleeping doesn't count, becasue sleeping is like maintenance on your brain), thus resulting in calm, relaxed feeling for a period of time depending on how long you were in this state.

    shadowx, I think you might find this link extremely interesting.

    I compiled a bunch of images, cursors, and sounds for use with windows to be a theme. The sounds are all from Protoss Race, for example, Max-Min.wav is the same sound used in StarCraft when you rescue something in the Protoss campaign.

     

    To use the sound files, go to Control Panel->Sounds and click Browse. Navigate to wherever you extracted the files and click the appropriate file for use.

     

    Beep.wav Probe building error

    Shutdown.wav Zeratul "En taro Adun!"

    Startup.wav Zeratul "Your orders templar...?"

    Empty Recycle.wav Dragoon attack sound

    Close Program.wav Protoss building unpowered

    Max-Min.wav explained above

    Menu-Popup.wav Carrier Interceptor launch

    Menu-Command.wav same as Menu-Popup.wav

    Default.wav same as Beep.wav

     

    Cursors are also self explanatory, most of them are labeled, but there are a few extras for w/e use you want.

     

    To get to the cursor screen go to Control Panel->Mouse->Pointers and Browse for the appropriate files.

     

     

    There are three backgrounds included, one for 640x480px, one for 800x600px and one for 1024x768px

    There are many ways to do this, and many different options. With CSS you can have one image in the center and keep it there (even if the user scrolls!) or have a multiple repeating image. Here is a page with all the different CSS methods: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

     

    And if you don't feel like using css, you can just put a "background" attribute like so:

    <body background="path/to/file.jpg">

    However, in xHTML this is deprecated and will be seen as faulty code, so I recommend the CSS.

    If you are using a MySQL version less than 5, this is the problem:

    $query1= "SELECT * FROM smf_members WHERE memberName='$user'";

     

    In MySQL < 5 you need to enclose the table name in ` like this:

    $query1= "SELECT * FROM `smf_members` WHERE memberName='$user'";

     

    If that isn't the problem you could just try to bypass the mysql_fetch_assoc comparison by using a number comparison instead I.E.:

     

    ...$userexist = @mysql_num_rows($query)if ($userexist == 1){$query = @mysql_query("SELECT passwd FROM `smf_members` WHERE memberName='$user'")or die('Could not complete query: ' . mysql_error());$passcheck = @mysql_num_rows($query)if ($passcheck > 0){...

    Stargate Worlds Forum


    Well, it has finally happened. Stargate is going to become an MMORPG. Finally. Though not much is certain at this point these things are:

    1. Humans and Jaffa will be playable
    2. There will be guilds.
    3. You will be able to pilot fighters and bombers, capital ships are not a certainty yet
    4. There will be guilds, and if capital ships are availible, it will probably be only for guilds, probably
    5. There will be randomly placed planets
    6. You can join factions


    Though it is not certain, it is highly likely that the Goa'uld and Tok'ra will be playable, but if they are, there is only a small chance that the Goa'uld player will be able to have an empire.

    Galactic Civilizations II

    This is, in my opinion, one of the best strategy games yet. It allows you to have controll of one of 10 premade races, or create an entirely new one. You are that civilizations leader. You choose the government, design the ships, manage the economy, etc. You can win in one of three ways:

    1. Military conquest. For this victory, you must totally anniliate(sp?) your rival civilizations.

    2. Economic conquest. For this victory you must econmically dominate the galaxy

    3. Alliance. For this victory, you must be allied with a majority of the major forces in the galaxy.



    Some neat features are:

    1. Non-linear campaign
    2. You can design your own ship
    3. You can colonize, invade, and orbitally bombard planets
    4. Many random events
    5. Great AI
    6. A VERY large tech tree
    7. "Galaxy Wonders" - like wonders in Empire Earth, these give advantages to the owner
    8. Approximately 50 different buildings
    9. The ability to build starports
    10. The ability to stack ships and create a fleet
    11. It is still playable with a Pentium 3 / 256 RAM system!


    (I am not sure if this post goes in this forum, if it belongs somewhere else, please move it, as i did not think i should put this in Rts, because this is turn-based not real-time)
