The link works (at least the one connected to my posts does). Occasionally it'll be down, but usually it'll be back up within the next day at the latest. Also, it's not hosted on the fastest of servers. ;) We're not trying to put out something half-...  [Read More]

Sorry for the slow response--I've had to take care of a vehicle that had a chunk of the transmission fall off while driving down the road. :( Luckily no one was hurt and we were able to pull over without getting smashed up. :) Anyway, I don't have A...  [Read More]

/me wonders what SOTE is... :confused: On behalf of the DF2 MOD team, I would like to say a hearty thank you! :) And you bring up a good point--I'll have to make sure that the rest of the team is OK with the GPL2 as well as making that clear on the...  [Read More]

I dunno if if this is a bug or not, but I thought I'd throw this out there. In the sewers when you go into chute #1 (counted from left to right as you come into the room with the four switches) and go into the control room and press the switch that l...  [Read More]

There's a bug in the Talay map in the small area with the vegetation (before you get into the Rebel Base proper you can see some textures floating in mid air (off to the right as you enter). There seems to be single lines hovering above the foliage....  [Read More]

Ah yes, it reminds me of a line out of "Benny the Bouncer" off of Brain Salad Surgery by ELP: Sidney chose a switchblade and Benny got a cold meat pie I hear those cold meat pies you get in pubs over there in Britain are tough, but probab...  [Read More]

Slicer: No, not looking. Having to host the mod myself has forced me to learn a lot about the subject that I'd been to lazy to learn before, so I'm not too sorry about it. :D blah2k4: Those models look pretty good! Too bad they're hosted on filefron...  [Read More]

Hey Disco, there's no such thing as a stupid question--to me anyway. ;) As far as upping the resolution on textures goes, it's not only possible but desirable. The original textures were tiny and it would show badly if we didn't uprez. And as far as...  [Read More]

CMYK stands for Cyan Magenta Yellow blacK, and is generally used for digital images that will be fixed in some sort of print process--hence the reference to DF2: The Book. ;) For just about everything else, The Gimp works very well and won't cost you...  [Read More]

Sorry for not getting back to you guys sooner, but I've been busy with meatspace lately. ;) I've also been working on an enhancement to Radiant (the 1.5 version) so that we'll have some decent texturing tools. Taters: I sent you email to your Tubaca...  [Read More]
