Frigidmagi has a pretty comprehensive explanation of fire and maneuver, but as a side note there tends to be other psychological factors at work as well. Whatever cynicism you may hold told toward the human race, the plain fact of the matter is that most of us just aren't cut out to kill another hum...

*Note - don't mind me, just doodling out the algorithm here all C-like so I can translate it over to this scripting language (poorly formatted languages make me nauseous to work with). WIP, will edit and add to as I have time. if (standard Xd6 roll) int highRoll = 0; int result = 0; int bonus = -1; ...

hissssssss it has no bracketses precious, burns it, BURNS IT Seriously though, you may have to be more specific. I can recognize the code but I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do. I see a big huge script with eye-bleeding formatting which I can reasonably assume rolls dice. How exactly do ...

Dude, wait, what? How can you praise Morrowind for having weak core elements yet the tools to correct them, and slam NWN for the same in the same breath? NWN is awesome - yeah, its core campaign isn't too hot (though the Hordes of the Underdark expansion is quite good), but it's got a ridiculously p...

I'm playing it and loving it, except for the occasional frustration with the difficulty level. It sucked me right in in a way that Oblivion never has (though to be fair I haven't given my latest mod cocktail a proper chance). DA has a huge amount of depth that I daresay rivals Morrowind, which is no...

DirectX 10?
So, having worked with DX9 for awhile now I can confidently state that doing 3D work in it is an exercise in masochistic self-flagellation. 2D programming is straightforward enough but dealing with FVFs and quads and ungodly heaps of Windows messaging bullshit gives me headaches. I really don't know...

Microsoft Force Feedback Pro (Sidewinder family). Say what you will about Microsoft, they make damn fine joysticks. I've had this one since MechWarrior 3 came out. It's only flaw is its size (rather bulky, being one of those 1st-gen force feedback things). Prior to this one I had an MS 3D Sidewinder...

If I had to pick one - Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water. The perfect mix of distortion versus music, with a catchy riff plus a mellow, musical but still wicked guitar solo. My other favorites: Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower. Forget Dylan, this is all I need. For pure guitar, there is no bet...

Ha, as I was reading it I thought "Hey, this would be a good programming excercise to think like a computer," but it seems like that was Destructionator's intention. But, in the context of the OP, it never specified to do things as a compiler might. I would argue that in this case simply writing one...

Blah blah blah. Aside from the 2nd Edition masturbation, he does make a few good points but nothing that wasn't already obvious. MMOs aren't typically conducive to roleplaying, what else is new? FYI, however, NWN is an excellent RP medium. It's a different experience from PnP, for sure - but in addi...
