I really doubt it. Most likely, only the floor and terrain get imported from the town set as the outdoor fight area - scripts and other paraphernalia don't.

I checked my transfer backups, but it seems the files were deleted before the backup was made, since they're not in there. Rakshasi is always welcome to re-upload them, although given the nature of this webspace, the fact remains that anyone with access can delete them. I can PM you the access details if you don't know them anymore. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Your video is more than twice as long as its actual content, which likely wastes a lot of space and download time. I really wish you'd fix that, since the space and traffic being wasted are, in fact, mine. :P -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

According to him, he entered it, but sent it 41 minutes late and to the wrong address, bihrno instead of the contest box. So I guess I'm Spartacus too. This is my first contest and it really means a lot to me, so this didn't come easily. But I realize that the whole thing will be tarnished in my eyes if overshadowed by such a ridiculous technicality. Especially when I just got a break myself. It wasn't a typo. Writing (10,1) instead of (2,6) is not a "typo", it's a bloody bug caused by last-minute messing without taking into account all the consequences. On its own, that flag is the most trivial error you could imagine, but if you see it in context, it's just not fair that I get to make this adjustment and Settlers and Bonus Army are disqualified for 41 minutes and the wrong email address.

So? Yes, you can make a case about Windows users being idiots who know better but don't act on it. But you can also argue Windows users are less deluded about how much their OS sucks. :P quote:Indeed: That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die. I use XP. I love Linux (all of them, though I have a special liking for Debian as well as Fedora). I basically ignore Mac. I despise Vista and 95 with all my heart.

Express Delivery was sent to the judges of the 1/10 contest last night. It can already be downloaded publically, as well. The database has it, and it's on my site here: http://ermarian.net/downloads/blades/express-delivery/ (Note: The location of the beta versions has changed - they're below this under beta/ now - but it's still protected) A nice page with screenshots and description is pending. Edit: An index page has been added at this place that contains neat descriptions, a making-of, credits and (soon) screenshots. Oh, and of course links to download the scenario.

I'd recommend wget too. The only reason PPP uses a lot more fancy stuff than just a bunch of files downloaded with wget is to count, format and properly link those posts. In fact, the next PPP run will likely be done with wget as well, processing the files for the database afterwards. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.
