How did you come up with it?
It's a random name, it means nothing.

Lua / Re: Timer help?« on: June 27, 2011, 09:43:25 am »Oh, that makes sense. It runs forever, but you can stop it with timer.stop() 858
Lua / Re: Timer help?« on: June 27, 2011, 09:37:36 am »
From Lua Wiki:
Quote timer.start(period) : Starts the timer with the given period (in seconds) So, timer.start(30) calls the timer every 30 seconds, not "every second". 859

And what does this exactly do? Can you end a screenshot of how XChat/mIRC look like when this is installed?

News / 84+/SE Boot Pages Modified« on: June 27, 2011, 06:34:13 am »
Yesterday, Brandon Wilson tweeted that he had managed to modify both boot pages in the 84+/SE, through software only, as you can see in the following picture:
Another tweet from Brandon Wilson tells us about some of the possibilities that this will bring: Quote from: Brandon Wilson It means we can modify the boot code & completely strip out all TI copyrighted code from the device. No more exploits or hacks. From now on, if TI tries any more "tricks" to block features or downgrades, they can now be easily fixed thanks to this. Some may say this is a fail from TI and others might say it is the end of all the problems caused by TI blocking downgrades and other features. I question, though, can't TI change the boot pages in a newer OS? Either way, I think this is wonderful news. Finally I have to add that thepenguin77 also discovered this, but separately from Brandon Wilson. Below is the most recent tweet by Brandon Wilson concerning this program: Quote from: Brandon Wilson Boot code one is a simple program. Pocket exploit...probably best not to say yet. But very simple & easy to use. 863

It's only 490MB for Windows.
I also have to say my graphics don't look like that, I put everything in minimum to enhance perfomance, not that it made a difference, it's just as fast (and by fast I mean it's solid 90FPS) 867

Gaming Discussion / [Review] Sauerbraten« on: June 26, 2011, 10:33:13 am »
A week or two ago I was exploring Linux Mint's new Software Manager (Mint 11) and went to the most downloaded games. I found a game that looked good, called SauerBraten. I downloaded it and it was installed, no difficulties, thanks to the software manager.
I made some online research on it and it is a first-person-shooter, it's free and cross-platform, since it uses OpenGL Graphics, and the latter are very nice. They remind me of Team Fortress 2 graphics. The game is also very small, not even 500 MB. The game boots almost instantly, the online servers work the first time, everything looks good. For the first time, I decided to play against bots, since it also features bot matches, and you can even specify the difficulty and game mode and map. I tried it and it was a bit hard to get used to, but thanks to the very detailed Options menu I got there. I tried it online and the most popular modes are Insta CTF (Capture the flag with a one-hit KO Sniper), Regen Capture (you have some bases and you have to defend them and attack other team's bases and the goal is to have the maximum bases as possible) and Insta GIB (Deadmatch with one-hit KO Sniper). These are actually the only modes I play because there are about 10 servers with enough people to make it fun, and all these 10 servers have one of these 3 modes. This is not a big issue though, as these modes are the funniest. SauerBraten includes a map editor and some default maps are original, others are from Counter-Strike and others from Quake. This is pretty cool, as the level editor is very easy to use. For a free game and cross-platform I have to give this a 10 out of 10. It has some issues such as you can't crouch and the menus are quite non-user-friendly. 870

Would you mind if I upload it to ticalc.org there after? Of course not, but make sure to upload it in Omnimaga Archives too |
