    posted a message on Blocking Bittorent

    you could try blacklisting the torrent trackers which he uses in the router. just set it up in the 'filters' section.

    this will only annoy him a little bit, because he can go find another tracker, but it still tells him that 'your onto him' =).


    what branch is the router? searching for that model name didnt return any results, and i couldnt see it on the D-Link or Netgear websites. -

    another option is, some fancy routers (business class usually ) allow for bandwidth splitting or allocation. so you could specify how much bandwidth each user can get.

    so if u have a 1.5Mb connection, and 3 ppl in your house, you can give each person 0.5Mb of bandwidth.

    ive heard about this, and googled it...but u need a fancy router to do it, or a Linux box acting as a router.


    anyway, good luck sorting out that dick...maybe unplug the hippy from the router when u want to game.

    <thread closed>

    our group formed.
    we owned.
    we beat all.
    all your bases belonged to us.
    we met up and had pizza.
    we laughed.
    we cried.
    i gave everyone a participation metal =).
    we entered 5 tournaments, and thrashed all competition.

    we were greedy.
    we started to fight.
    we got into a flame war, about our mum's.
    our group disbanded.
    i cried ='(.
    they snickered.
    we will never meet again.

    that is the way that our story goes.
    team RVP will never rise again.

    -

    the group is disbanded, thanks to everyone who participated.
    have a good day =)

    "3) It will once again be possible to hold down a key to repeat a hotkey command "

    thank god.
    i use this feature all the time.
    if i select 5 barracks /w reactors, and want to build 50 marines, there is no way i'd want to press 'a' 50 times instead of holding down the 'a' button.

    posted a message on Decreasing lag in game with 1000+ units

    Try removing the shadows of the 1000 units in the Data Editor.
    The setting is at: data Editor> select your unit > select your units actor (in the object explorer)

    go to unit tab, and untick 'show blob shadow' and 'stand animation birth variation'
    go to properties tab, and untick 'cast shadows'

    shadows take a fair bit of GPU processing time
    the game will be lagging on your rig because either your CPU or GPU is a bottleneck.

    if your GPU is the bottleneck, this will give u a huge FPS gain.
    if your CPU is the bottleneck, this will give u a smaller FPS gain.
    if something else is the bottleneck, this may help too.


    -on sheepyShadows.SC2Map i get around 20-30 FPS.
    -on noSheepyShadows.SC2Map i get around 50-60 FPS.

    to see your FPS ingame, press alt + cntrl + f

    i have a Sapphire HD 5770 Graphics card and an Athlon X2 250 CPU

    good luck matey =)

    alrighty! to try and increase the number of eligable players, i have dropped the restriction that you have to have access to a SEA bnet account.

    so is anyone interested in playing Star Battle?

    posted a message on looking for SEA PLAYERS for 'Star Battles' team

    Howdy,

    I am interested in creating an 1337 team of aussie gamers to play the map Star Battles. Star Battles is currently on NA bnet, but not on SEA bnet...which is lame.

    I am looking to form a team of 6 players from SEA, who can play Star Battles with me on the NA bnet server, and once Star Battles is uploaded to SEA, we will migrate and play on the SEA bnet server.


    To apply you must meet these requirements:

    -have a SEA battle.net account
    -have access to a NA battle.net account (note: everyone on the SEA bnet server is allowed to migrate to NA freely at any time)
    -be available for at least 1 match, on at least 4 days in a week
    -be available on NA battle.net at 10pm WST (UTC/GMT +8 hours)
    please apply here in this thread, and then we'll arrange a meetings time to test your skills =).


    The team so far (6 places available):

    pos 1 - Gimpexe (the meat shield)
    pos 2 - Chimp (chief financial officer)
    pos 3 -
    pos 4 -
    pos 5 -
    pos 6 -

    posted a message on Screw the b-net popularity system

    perhaps the popularity system is just a stop gap between no system, and the market place?

    i pray that the market place has cross realm map publishing, if it does, i'm extremely happy =).

    if you contribute to that 'suggestions to improve the popularity system' thread, please be constructive. coz the idea is to present blizzard with a prototype example of what the join custom game screen should be like.
