Hey Guys,

Fuzz bought up the idea of having a video conference so you could all help me build the computer. I’m not sure of the latency on ustream, but I have successfully managed to get it working.

I would use mumble for your input, so you don’t need ustream accounts. http://ustream.com/Microman171

Tiny Chat will be used: http://tinychat.com/microman171

I will start construction at 9:00pm NZDT. This is pretty late I must say. This way though, you guys will be able to watch (7:00pm AEDT).

It may not turn out as expected, I have watched ustream videos where I was about 5 minutes behind the action. I have managed to get skype working also, but I’m not sure 5 people on skype will be a good thing.

Please make a post below if you can make it.

Cheers,

MM

EDIT: Friday Night! Sorry, forgot in my haste.

Hey Guys,

My current Ubuntu machine is an ancient POS with an 800MHz Pentium 3, a no name graphics card, 512MB RAM (I filled the slots with 128MB PC133MHz), and a 40GB HDD. It usually works for web browsing and programming microcontrollers, but sometimes it randomly quits stuff, the display will crash to terminal, the whole computer will lock up, or it gets really slow. It runs Ubuntu 9.10 rather well for such an ancient thing.

A nice little teaser for the next version of WoP: apparently being released this coming December!

WOW
I turn on the game today to find my “Autosave file corrupt”
Boy was I pissed having almost completed the game…

Did a little Google work… found a solution

1. Copy the “savegame” folder (documents/my games/Dirt2/savegame) to a safe place.
2. Start the game and create a new profile (yay for unskippable cut scenes and setups) complete the first race (win or lose doesn’t matter)
4. Quit the game.
5. Open the new “savegame” folder, paste your old “PB” folders in this new folder.
6. Open the new “autosafe” folder and paste your old “PGRRLTKJNZI” file in this new folder.

Problem fixed, as far as i can see NO loss of information

(that will learn me for hitting the X button to shut the game down from now on aye)
