Anyone else had any luck contacting the man? Ohh if anyone on here is interested, I'm in the progress of creating a card/board game a bit like battletech with cards (though minitures would be one potential outcome as would be a net based computer version.. but anyway). Also think of Starcraft with approx 400 buildings/units per race (which there are 6) though i am only working on Terrans for now. I'm trying to get the game up to late Beta to take to Swancom in April to show off and will be doing heaps of play testing next month before then. The game has been in design mode for about 7 years i think now (owww) and is finally heading towards some light at the end of the tunnel. Anyone who wants to see the thing, help in design, card art, legal issues would be great just though i would put that in have a good one all WEZ! > >T.

I want some other people to be on there too so I have someone to shoot.

Usually quite frequently :-) 14:15 < pete> I think the chief element for a game to be addictive is for it to be simple to grasp, while not necessarily simplistic. 14:15 < naturalred> yep 14:15 < algernon> Agreed. 14:15 < naturalred> and have results quickly 14:15 < pete> Yes! :) 14:16 < pete> Whether those results be Algernon exploding or Pete exploding.... :) 14:16 < algernon> Usually Pete :-) 14:16 < pete> bah 14:16 < pete> (but yes, he's right) :) 14:16 < pete> Last night was actually quite unusual, usually Algernon comes out well on top. 14:16 < pete> Hm. 14:16 < algernon> Although you put up a good fight last night - I need more practice at Pete-killing! :-) 14:17 * pete wonders whether he should have reworded that last sentence. 14:17 < algernon> I prefer being on top :-P 14:17 < algernon> (oh, come on, we were all thinking something like that) 14:17 < naturalred> is it so wrong that I had the mental image of Karl walking around singing "Kill the Petey, Kill the Petey"? 14:18 < algernon> Not at all!

If you're going to pay all the set up costs you may as well pay to get a decent traffic allocation. I think the Westnet $30 and $40 packages only have 350MB and 500MB traffic respectively (correct me if I'm wrong - I don't have time to check them again right now). Although I do think it's worth it. I pay $70 a month for 512/128 8GB 7am-12am + 8GB 12am-7am.

Oh well. I probably I'm still planning to have a LAN party here perhaps on the 8th of May if that's OK with everyone. I've got nothing on my calendar for that day although I will have to double check with Bridgette Jones's Diary for the authorative answer. How does everyone feel about that date? As you guys already know I'm pretty under equipped, however I've moved to a new place which has more than twice the LAN-able space as before. Here's my equipment list: Office - space for 4 machines. I've already got two. There's a spare desk. Living room - space for 6 machines if we kick the couches out or 4 if we don't (they're small couches). Dining room - space for 2 machines on the dining table. Sun room - space for 6 machines. We have three office chairs, four dining chairs and eight plastic outdoor chairs. The plastic chairs are the white upright ones which could be used for sitting at a desk if comfort isn't too much of an issue. We have 1,000 litres of refrigeration and a fridge that makes ice.

Plus I have lots of new maps for UT Jailbreak, which is good (considering the main reason we haven't played it more is lack of good maps).

Bah, humbug. :) Good 'ol UT1999 is fine, especially with the groovy Jailbreak mod you mention below. Q3A Jailbreak is also good fun - and I'm pretty sure we've played that at a previous LAN party. The Jailbreak mods seem to be well suited to our LAN parties, actually - we should probably play them more often. > > PS.

But knowing my track record with WineX, it's probably unlikely I'll be able to get it working. Also, I think I tried to install+run BF1942 on my machine at a previous LAN when I last had a Windows98 partition... and it kept crashing. :) > - Karl Oh well, I won't mind too much if you all want to spend some time playing UT200[34] and Battlefield 1942, etc...

He has ADSL and table space but is a Windows guy so only has an ADSL router as a DHCP server (I think it's a DLINK but I can find out for sure if it matters). He also uses a wheel chair so it's difficult for him to move his computer.

The table space is the main thing - tables are a pain to have to lug around. Sounds as though his place is fine, although could you check on available table places, just in case we do need to bring an extra table? As for DHCP, I was at least partially joking, as it isn't really essential. We've had problems with DLINK DHCP in the past, but we should be able to sort things out without too much trouble. Hey, if worst comes to worst we can always teach the Windows people how to set static IPs. >>>When would be the best weekend to hold this event? >> >>The Saturday after this one coming?

We don't really need to use the internet connection except to download stuff that we're missing: and we won't even need to do that if we're properly organised. =) DHCP from his router would be adequate, I'm sure. > > > When would be the best weekend to hold this event? > > > > The Saturday after this one coming?

My vote FWIW is for Saturday 29th May at Chris' place and then another at Karl & Jocelyn's place on Saturday 12th June. =) While I'm at it, we should be able to hold a LAN party here in either the second or third weekend of July.

I haven't gotten around to downloading it yet but thought I'd let y'all know. I'll put it up on the LAN party page tomorrow probably. Secondly, there is a new server running on bzflag.games.planetmirror.com if you want to play but none of us have a server up. Port 5154. The server's a few hops away in Brisbane: it's probably not playable with a modem link but with DSL you should be fine.

Apparently he has enough table space for the usual six or so PCs. I'm trying to organise with Steve someone to pick up a couple of tables from here (a van) but obviously the more tables the better. I can take enough tables for four PCs. Five at a pinch. I need to confirm the date with Chris but those guys plan LAN games every week so it should be OK. > > That weekend would be good for me if the LAN party is in Scarborough > > because it's walking distance and my wife is going away that weekend with > > the car. > > Is that 'walking distance while carrying a computer + monitor'? :) No. But my problem is that I can't take my PC away from it's Internet connection at the moment. Otherwise hundreds of iRATE users will become more irate than usual. I'm hoping someone (Karl?) will bring a spare PC or whatever. Hopefully I wont be so hung over although I'm probably going to be getting on the turps on Friday. Or maybe I'll get a go here and there somehow else. I'm not too stressed if I don't end up playing much. I didn't get to play much last time because I was too hung over.

There are 8 bits in a byte. 2. Modems communicate at speed up to 56 kbits/second. 3. I pay for a 512/128 kbits/second ADSL connection. Modems talk at 8 bits per second but when you are using an asynchronous UART you also need a start and a stop bit. This means that on a 56k modem you can expect speeds up to 5.6k per second. Ethernet is packet based so you don't have anywhere near as much protocol overhead. Basically the cost isn't significantly more than 8 bits per byte. I'd be very surprised ADSL were significantly less efficient. So one would expect that an 512 kbit/second ADSL connection would deliver close to 64 kbit/second. However the highest speed I've ever seen is a touch under 52 kbits/second. Does anyone know where all my missing bits are going? Are they really being lost by a wasteful asynchronous UART or is my ISP ripping me off? Have I just missed something mighty obvious?

ADSL as delivered in Oz (in most cases) is delivered as Bridged Ethernet over ATM (for those that care, AAL5SNAP - see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1483.txt ). Most cheap ADSLs (those that use Layer 2 PPPoE Encapsulation) are also wrapped in PPP as well, so you have: (Data) wrapped in (IP) wrapped in (PPP) wrapped in (Ethernet) wrapped in (ATM) traversing the ATM network to your ISP which unpacks all the stuff and feeds it to their IP network. All these packet headers add overhead to the extent that you're usually averaging something pretty close to the mark you've stated above*. The more I know about the Internet, the more I'm amazed on a daily basis that it works at all.

New and good machines (once you don't include the monitor/keyboard/mouse/othercrap) shouldn't be too pricey. Unfortunately I have to fight my way through a mountain of debt first. Wheeee :).

Unfortunately at the moment one of my machines has been polluted with some obscure operating system from Redmond made by a company who owes me US$30 due to an anti trust settlement. I don't think I filled out the paperwork in time so I think I've missed out. The problem is finding DFSG-free support for GLX. Otherwise we're still using running a tainted OS. I tried software emulation but I think I'd need something with a bunch more CPUs than what I've got. We're just going to have to get a group together, pick a video card where we can get technical information, all buy the same video card and write the GLX driver for it. Of course we'd have to do it for freedesktop.org's xserver because XF86 has licensing issues.

Date: Tue Jul 6 20:56:48 2004 Subject: [shuggnet-lanparty] Party additions Message-ID: Bit more information and a few alterations to the Party this Friday. For Pizzas; Bases, Sauces and Cheese is provided so don't need any of those For Drinks, 1 litre is not critical either. The idea is to mix up a drink you like and have some to share. I'm not expecting anyone to bring a litre of straight spirits as that is way too dear. E.G. vodka jellies, non alcoholic drinks/punches etc. Just anything interesting to share is good. Games: PS2 and games to play Lan games in a back room (armagetron, bzflag, starcraft)(Don't bring machines as need to keep people doing other things :) Special others and friends are welcome as well and the original email is at the bottom of the emails with details on where and when for those that missed the first email out. WEZ! please RSVP sometime this week if possible and i'll see people there or is that here :) To.......... You are invited to the annual Wez Birthday Bash. This time a general entertainment/casino party is in order :) When: 9th July (Friday night) from 7pm onwards (food available; BYO ingredients) Where: Fort Carlisle 32 Harris St Carlisle What: Bring your own alcohol to share (more details at the bottom) Bring a couple of ingredients for pizza making (details below) Poker Blackjack Old Arcade games Terraform Battlecruiser (if you are lucky) Mahjong Soft drinks will be provided Quality (sarcasm) energy drinks provided Some free booze and spirits provided Fondue Dessert Music: MP3 computer available or bring your own CD's Will have Futurama and hopefully some Invader Zim Princess Bride drinking games :) Any more ideas that we can do here are encouraged :) RSVP: Any time before the 9th -- I need to plan food Hope to see you all there. Anyone that knows Me, Al or Leanne is welcome And feel free to tell people that I may not have contact details for. WEZ! Alcohol plan: I'm wanting people who are drinking to bring something they like to share. Bring as much for yourself as you want and at least a litre for the other people. Some ideas are home brew, home distillery :), cocktails premixed at home, punches, mulled wine, spiced drinks, goon pops :) etc Pizza plan: Everyone needs to bring at least a couple of random ingredients to make pizzas with. A variety of sauces on bases will be provided (yes dessert pizzas can be made :) Fondue: There will be a melted-chocolate fondue set and things to dip in it but people are encouraged to bring anything they feel like dipping in melted chocolate. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Abbasolutely! Though I don't know why I enjoy a game so much where I always lose so badly. =) Remember that if you want a bzflag fix you can always search for servers on the Internet within the game itself (Join -> Find Server) or by connecting to a server in Brisbane that some of us occasionally use: server: bzflag.games.planetmirror.com port: 5154 Ken, isn't there some kind of simple web server thingy with the bzflag server that lets you see what the game status is on each port? Do you know if that's easy to set up? Or maybe I'm misremembering... maybe we need to write a thing that queries all "our" servers to see who's online and stuff.

I have got another 8 port switch and may get another one before the Lan so we will be covered for networking and that should include UDP cable as well so we won't need more of that. We will have a couple spare comptuer that can run the low games and will have all them installed by Sunday too but any newer games will need more beef. So... Bring your computer, game cd, (update your games too) and powerboards should be all. Speaking of game updates here is more info that i have found: Starcraft Broodwars: latest version 1.11b for mac/pc ftp://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/broodwars/patches/ need broodwars CD to play or have it cracked on your own machine Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne: latest version 1.16 for mac/pc ftp://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/war3/patches/ need frozen throne cd to play or cracked BZFlag latest version 1.10.6 for mac/pc/linux http://sourceforge.net/projects/bzflag/ this will give the full version Armagetron latest version 0.2.6.0 for mac/pc/linux http://sourceforge.net/projects/armagetron/ full version UT2004 latest version 3236 for mac/pc/(and linus i believe) not sure where to get it for PC www.versiontracker.com for mac Battlefield 1942 i can't find any updates for mac so can't find latest version info. Anyone? Doom3 i don't know a thing about this game so someone else can fill me in. There probably is some minor update by now after its initial release.

I've been saving my free download coupon since I bought my Raedon 9600XT. Guess I'll log on tonight and see if it's available. Last time I checked they were offering the new Counterstrike beta free to coupon clippers, but there was still no date for HL2. Joy! Joy!
