It's got a very nice design - will this be transferred to the main forum as well?

Yeah, it worked ok on Media Player 9 but it crashed when I tried it on WMP 7.

Have you got WMP 9?

I find quite often that it's best to right-click it and save it to the hard disk and then run it from there. Edit: Btw, it wouldn't work in Winamp because: 1. It's a MS-exclusive format (as far as I'm aware) 2. Winamp only plays audio

A cowboy lover? You're thinking of Westerns.

Actually, yeah, I thought it was for the forum as well.

you know this because.......? I've heard other people say it. And it stands to reason.

Are there classes in GTA 3 like in VC? It's just that both of your skins were the same. I remember that there used to be just two gangs in GTA 3:MTA, which wasn't bad, but I think the class system is better.

You can't really. It's built into the game. One method would be to keep killing yourself until you get the one that you want. I think it's better that there's a bit of variation, rather than everyone looking the same.

2.0.8's not really anything special. They released all the security fixes and then bundled them into a new pack. I downloaded all of the fixes when they were released, so technically I'm running 2.0.8 when it actually says 2.0.6 at the bottom.

And doesn't MTA only work on English versions of GTA 3 / VC?

Yeah, the ironic thing is that most illegal versions of games have the CD protection removed, so it only annoys legitimate users.

Ahem, it's Linux.

Yep, fine. It'll pop up asking if you want to allow MTA to access the internet though, like all software firewalls do. And it'll take a long time for IPv6 to get mass support, so I can't see any problems.

Yeah, perhaps, but they needn't think about it at the moment. These things take time, and it will be several years before IPv6 is widely implemented.

Yeah, they always do that to me when I have a heavy gun and I can't get out of the way quickly enough. And then they run over you again while you're on the floor and you can't get up again. Edit: And how come some of the emoticons are yellow?

You must have your machine crammed to the top with RAM

Yeah, I'm going to get it. Not straight away, mind you, as sometimes there are certain bugs and things that they miss and which early adopters suffer for. Also, when ATI release their RV20, the price is likely to go down. Speaking of which, it will be interesting to see how ATI react to the GF 6800. Apparently the RV20 has only 2/3rds as many pipelines and considerably fewer transistors. Maybe they will beef up the RV20 with this in mind.

I heard that they'd "designed it with an 800MHz machine in mind", whatever "designing in mind" means. If you're talking about that new model compression technology (where you build it in high quality, compress it and then decompress it with no quality loss (or something like that)), that's also being used in Doom 3 as well. Btw, these are the specs for DNF (from ages ago):

It has been confirmed that the Racer class has been removed, so presumably there is at least one new class.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the 6800, especially after I checked out this review: http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/20040414/index.html I had to look twice at the Call of Duty benchmarks:

No, isn't that Doom 3? I heard that Half-Life 2 had similar specs to Duke Nukem "Forever".

Well, he's obviously in that 5% region. Perhaps you should complain to BT a lot more, Mr Bump. They may have forgotten about you

What? The XBox graphics chip is a slightly modified GeForce 3. The 9800 Pro will walk all over it.

Version 0.4 isn't finished yet - that's why there's no link.
