Stupid Computers

Due to problems with my computers, I didn't get any modding done this weekend.

I have a virus on one, that is proving diffucilt to remove, and I have been having some trouble with my graphics card on the gaming machine lately. Had a few game crashes, and blue screens saying the problem was caused by atiduag. . . . . (or something like that) and one game I can't reinstall "because DX9c can't be detected" I have updated DirectX and several game that need it work, besides the game was installed up until a few weeks ago.

Anyway friday night things got a little worse, so I updated the graphics drivers, OOOPPPPss!!! That caused me all kinds of trouble. Direct3D and directdraw not working, just a black screen after logging in and plenty grumpiness. I was trying both Catalyst ATI drivers and Omega drivers and both had different issues. I finally got some older Omega drivers to install and have most things looking ok. the Direct 3D test through DXDiag still looks a little weird, but you can make it out. I just hope my graphics card is not about to die.

Time to look at a new machine, but I will start trawling EBay for a graphics card, have to see how the savings are looking as to what option is affordable.

Stupid Computers!

Milla Milla Raceway

Well Milla Milla Raceway, my first BMR map is almost finished. I just have to finish the light maps, which i will leave running over night, then fix up the pics for the loading and menu screens. Well that the version with the Imprezza and 350z any way, we are thinking of a second version with different cars, and I am think of doing something with the all wheel drive track I made on it.

Tipus and I also played around with the tweaks for the vehicles, setting the speeds to what we wanted and all matching within each class of vehicle. Ooh, and Tipus fixed the turbo/ nos, so it is less of an advantage. Things are progressing will with BMR at the moment, we hope to release at the end of this month.

Fingers crossed.
