OK so I have been very absent from meethook recently. This is down to the new digital crack known as Natural Selection. If you have never heard of this fantastic Half-Life mod the check out //www.natural-selection.org or read the review on Network 42 at //www.xlii.com.
Over at N42 we have just passworded our new Natural Selection server, but anyone is welcome to join and the password is available from our NS forum. We are recruiting for PNS players and I thought that the home of PCS would be a good place to start.
Oh, and don't worry. CS was my first addiction and I will be back here in the not too distant future.
This has been a shameless and immoral plug for N42 PNS brought to you by Wintermute.

Counter Strike 1.5 / Are some maps just plain bad?
August 13, 2002, 05:34:08 PM
FPS and ping are totally unrelated. It has nothing to do with if you are on a 56k or not.
I use an S3 trio + voodoo2 PCI so i have the worst graphics card out of everyone. I have noticed poor performance on some of the new maps. I suspect this is because system specs have come on since the release of CS and so designers include more effects and bigger, more complex and a wider range of textures.
What system spec do you currently have? If it is not very good then an upgrade may well fix the problem. Alternatively, learn how to piss around with the config files so that you can reduce graphical quality and detail in favour of performance. My CS experience looks like s**t but I only get very low FPS when there is smoke involved.

dMw v N42 / N42 Vs dMw?
August 13, 2002, 05:28:29 PM
Is it true that you guys are up for a fight again?
http://www.xlii.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t...=asc&highlight=
Or is it just a vicous rumour?
Anyway, looks like N42 might be fighting about who should do the fighting, so you should have more than enough opposition.

Technology Section / Hardware help: RAM
July 27, 2002, 05:54:35 PM
Hiya guys, I was wondering if any of you tech guys could give me a hand?
I have two 64mb sticks of pc100Mhz RAM installed on a soltek SL 75KAV mobo and I want to upgrade this by adding a further 128mb stick into the thrid slot.
My question is this: Is it worth buying PC133Mhz RAM or will it all just run at the slower speed? Also, is it possible to combine 2x64mb + 1x128mb or does it have to be 2x128mb?
Many thanks for any help.

PCS Map Discussion / And now.....from Meathook....it's the Map Of The Week.....
July 09, 2002, 03:45:58 PM
Child beating aside, custom maps are great. It might be a good idea to have one every fortnight, so that people actually get a chance to play it though...
There is a balance to strike between not knowing the maps and blundering around like a fool, and knowing the maps so well that you have used every single tactic possible a thousand times and it is just dull. (see dust, siege, assault etc.)

It's my Birthday! / Funny story
July 01, 2002, 05:06:27 PM
We once had a 'zip line' when I was young running from the roof of the shed to a nearby tree. It got taken down when a friend launched himself off the shed roof but forgot to hold on to the handle and fell flat on his face. For a 9 yr old that was as extreme as the above.

Why does everyone insist on designing sites in massive resolutions so that I can't read them in 800*600? :evil: I always have to highlight text and drag my mouse down to see the bottom of menus because no one thinks to provide a scroll bar. Thankfully the original dMw are truely the best because this does not happen on deadmen.co.uk.

It's my Birthday! / Just to say 'Hi'
June 11, 2002, 08:51:50 PMQuotemind you that will only happen if you stand dead still with a big target on you head, shouting IM OVER HERE.
Yeah I usualy do that so no problem there.
The CoFR server is good, but not as good as MH or N42. Will do at a pinch tho.
