Think it's working now... just been able to log onto FR25 for the first time all night but it's empty...

Now you're starting to scare me...  :blink:

It was a 'little' muddy but it's been worse!  :blink: Had a great time as usual!  

It's not looking good is it...  
I'm in Plymouth so I'm seeing the rain as it heads east.

Hey! Be nice... I'm going tomorrow!
Actually it's been tipping down all day today... I'm off to find my wellies!  :blink:

There's a SDK?   I'm so stupid! Of course there's an SDK - DOH!   I assume that's an SDK for HL not CS... I'll have a hunt around for that, it might be an interesting read.

So are we saying Rate Hacking is a real hack or that it doesn't really give you an advantage?

There have been a couple of conversations on the FR25 boards about rate hacking but I have to confess I'm still a little confussed by it...  

I realise that the game itself is taking place on the server. I've always assumed that the only things happening on my machine are:

a ) the conversion of the messages I receive from the server into the images I see on the screen (where everyone is etc.)
b ) the sending of my movements and actions back to the server

Surley whether I'm shot or not is decided on the server? So if I'm slowing down the receiving of messages from the server, my machine is going to be 'behind the times' on what's happening in the game. I don't see that as an advantage...
If I've been shot on the server I'll just find out late - I'm not going to NOT be shot. And I'll be shooting at places people used to be (that might explain a few things!  ) because I won't have got the message from the server that they've moved a little bit from where I see them.

Or am I taking a much too simplistic view of things?

Good point, well made! That's exactly the sort of 'point of order Mr Chairman' comment I would make!  

I'll pretend I meant to say: "Well it's going to be at least 400 years, what's that in ms?"

I can see I'm going to like you guys!

ROFLMAO  :lol:  
What's 400 light years in ms?

Hi everyone... thought I'd pop in and register.

I know a few of you dMw guys from FR25 where I normally play. I've been impressed by your players' skill and sportsmanship and I've been meaning to drop in for a while...

A little about me:

I'm Ian, 37. I live in Plymouth in the south west of the UK where I live with Mad Maria my Spanish GF.
I'm relatively new to on-line gaming and CS - been playing for about 8 months now and I'm starting to feel less embarrassed about my standard of play (still not very good though!   ).
I always use the in-game tag of betel (pronounced 'beetle' - it's from the star Betelgeuse) which is a nickname I've had in RL for about 23 years now.
I'm prone to asking stupid questions... and lots of them!

When I have a little spare time I'll try and get a game on one of your servers, the TCS thing sounds very interesting...

VERY nice site guys, I see I'm going to have to spend some time looking around...

Hope to get a game with you all soon.
