Update. New system. September 30th.
Alot have happened since last time I posted anything here, and at the same time nothing have really happened. I bought myself a new system. Specifications are
- Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 2032BW
- CPU: Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz
- Motherboard: ASUS P5K SE/EPU
- Memory: OCZ Reaper HPC Edition Dual Channel – 4 GB (2×2 GB) – 1066 MHz / PC2-8500
- GPU: MSI nVidia Geforce 7900GTO
- OS: Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Ultimate (SP1) 64-Bit
The reason for using such an outdated GPU right now, is the lack of money. I’m planning on buying a nVidia Geforce 260GTX. The 7900 is an old one my dad used to have, but his powersupply crashed and damanged the GPU. Which gives me awesome glitches in games. Laugh out loud. Downclocking it a bit helps a little.
When I ordered parts of my system I ordered my memory from some Swedish online shop. Which turned out to be a big waste of time, and money apparently. I cancelled the order, but I just found out today they still withdrew the money. Fuckers. So now I have to deal with that retarded shit.
I decided to go with Windows Vista 64-bit. I heard a shitload of dumb stuff about 64-bit operating systems and Vista from a bunch of idiots that don’t know shit nor have tried it themselves. I wanted to experience it for myself, which I certainly don’t regret. Everything is just so much faster.
We’ve made some progress in Team GabeN last month. Nothing big and exciting but I guess it’s worth mentioning. Using 64-bit Vista broke the leak since it doesn’t support 64-bit, we fixed that (turned out to be alot simpler than first anticipated). A bunch of other, minor bugs, were fixed too. On the mapping part, Junk have posted some awesome stuff from our Terminal map.
I, of course, have to mention my decompiler as usual. I’ve done some work mostly with animations. Current output it gives (well June 16th) can be seen here. Unfortunately only a few modelling applications support these messed up animations (3ds max 7 will).
Other than that nothing’s really happening. Only alot of personal shit I don’t feel like blabbering about here, and some internal GabeN stuff we aren’t talking about (yet?). Last but not least I predict this week will be shitty. I actually were going to mention shit about the leaking of Half-Life 2 (as most people know GabeN have been in touch with Axel G., and therefor knows a bit more about all of it
)
Let me just say these last words for now “September 30th. Worldwide”
