[quote quoting="post"] rant [/quote] Elemental is DRM free. The beta patches require internet so they can make minor changes without staging a new download. If you don't like that aspect then don't participate in the beta patches. [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e] Release versions have never and never will require internet connection. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] There is no added DRM.. not sure why your freaking out so much. But take a breath

No idea.. the version of rom i run is 2.8 without issue. Try downloading the older version would be my suggestion. Looking at the links for both i notice that 2.92 is about half the size of 2.8... maybe its meant to be an update or something. And just so you know.. ALL the files should be in the BTS mods folder.. in a folder marked Rise of mandkind or rom. Placing them in different folders are likely to cause issues. For instance for me all the ROM files are in C:\Program File

Either way it was rather humorous.

[quote who="ne_zavarj" reply="199" id="2883370"] Quoting Fistalis, reply 198 Why in the world would you sell titles that force people to use their biggest competitor. If people wanted steamworks games they would use steam.. not impulse.. omg the absurdity... i can't even begin to verbalize my disbelief and dislike of this statement. If Stardock ( Impulse ) want to survive , they will have to adapt . Just check out D2D , GamersGate or Gamesplanet . They already selling Steamwork

ya the betas require connection. Release versions don't. My connection has been acting up lately so i haven't even bothered with newest batch of beta patches.

You may have to reset your firewall to allow elemental. Everytime you update it it counts as a diff program and usually you have to set a new rule for it since its a totally diff exe . Normally elemental doesn't require internet .. however the beta patches do. Or if you want you can just revert to the latest release version instead of using a beta patch by unchecking "show pre-re

You may have to reset your firewall to allow elemental. Everytime you update it it counts as a diff program. Normally elemental doesn't require internet .. however the beta patches do. Or if you want you can just revert to the latest release version instead of using a beta patch by unchecking "show pre-release versions" in impulse.. and then verifying your files.

sad thing is I hate facebook.. yet i still check it once a day out of habit [e digicons]:sheep:[/e] New malware popping up on social networking sites is a given. To paraphrase willie sutton. Why do you target social networks with malware? "cause thats where the people are"

[quote who="Faestus" reply="7" id="2883170"]Hmmm... Is there some way to upgrade it?[/quote] Windows update, if you don't get the option from auto updates theres a manual install download from MS for "network administrators" that works. Right click on my computer, select properties and check what it says first, you may have already installed it and didn't know since you mentioned doing tons of windows updates. If your already running it and it won't run then def. conta

[quote who="CarGuy1" reply="11" id="2883017"] To convince everyone that digital distribution was the wave of the future a few years ago, game producers promised that prices would go down accordingly. I chalk it up to corporate greed. [/quote] I believe frogboy pointed out that the actual material costs of a physical copy(CD, book etc) were never actually a significant portion of the price to begin with. So ya it was probably just hyperbole help people transition

on noes someone claimed steam is resource intensive.. everyone hide before the steam [e digicons]:troll:[/e] s come and throw a hissy.

To clarify my other posts If the mod plan is something like this. level 1. basic xml files for easy small changes. level 2. Scripting language to allow more complex stuff level 3. SDK Why in the world would you choose a language for #2 that isn't drastically easier to learn than #3? Here's my other question on this, is it supposed to be low entry? or are you simply looking for what language the most people already know? because this fo

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="13" id="2882028"]Adding my vote to Bad Company 2. ARMA 2 is a good game, but there's little interaction with the environment, and I think it's much slower than what you're looking for. On the other hand, in Bad Company 2 you can collapse buildings, blow out walls, level trees, all sorts of fun stuff.[/quote] Lol you didn't play arma 2 much did you? Can do all that in arma 2 as well. But yes it is alot slower in general being a simulator and not an arcade game. Of

[quote]And at last, Python is rapidly developing and has tons of features. And have new-gen syntax style which is light and pretty easy to learn. And it is much easier to learn then C++ and Lua[/quote] Couldn't disagree more.. i found python more confusing than C++ in attempting to learn them. (not that i'm very fluent in either) This is what really annoys me in this whole discussion. How in the world did python get the reputation of being so much easier to learn than any othe

I would be excited about this.. if they had decided to support win xp in the frostbite 2 engine. I'll be passing on this until I decide the benefits of upgrading my OS are worth the price. (probably never with the going price of non OEM windows)

Arma2/OA combined ops. I personally think it would fit most of your criteria.. tons of weapons(the original arma 2 had 73.. OA and the DLCs added more so its over 100) with pretty realistic ballistics for each (meaning each gun is different, different bullet drop penetration etc) arma 2/OA is pretty nifty. Most of the maps are huge regional maps(Chernarus is 225 km 2 and Takistan is 164 km2) though so its certainly not primarly urban although there are urban cent

[quote]I don't really care one or the other as long as it benefits the game and surely Python/C++ for Civ IV seemed to do great. Yet Civ V went Lua (which may or may not mean anything). [/quote] Civ IV is what i attempted to learn python for.. after hours and hours of getting no where with it i pretty much gave up on modding anything in civ IV outside of XML. Its why i dislike python as a language.. it was harder for me to learn than any other scripting language i've personally

If i had to guess i would say its primarily due to additional logging turned on for the beta patches... [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

The only scripting language i'm fluent in is nwscript.. which is similar in form to angelscript from what i see(prob cause both are based on C++). Python Is a pain in the rear to deal with imho and i've never touched Lua. Come to think of it.. anything but python is my preference lol
