I was never graced with the source code. I would've loved to get my hands on it (I even asked George about it myself)... but RTC is George's baby and he always wanted to keep the source private.

@Ameena: I was Aurek the Paladin. And I remember that DnD game, it was awesome!
@Gambit: I looked at making dungeons for DSB, but I remember that at the time RTC was easier on the brain. I'll have to look into it if I ever get time.

Thanks for the warm welcome back.

Hello all! After many years of absence, I've been resurrected.

The last time I posted on here, I was almost due to become a father (my son is now 10yo)... well, having a child and a full time job has left me very little time over the years. The last time I was here I was talking about the 3D engine ...

I know what you mean... I blast from the past is right. But I personally have memories of my good ol' Pentium 75. I remember playing Quake 1 on it :D but you had to reduce the "viewport size" (pressing the minus key shrinks the view, and plus makes it grow) to have it not lag too bad.
I have fond ...

@zoom: I've found a few programming samples that take Intel/AMD family & model numbers and spit out a string (like "Intel Pentium Pro")... here's what I can translate from numbers to strings (given the samples I've got, and they're not exactly recent... there may be entries missing):

INTEL ...

Ahhh... thanx Linflas! I get it now, so he's basically posted "Intel Core i7 990X (12 core) CPU @ 3.47 GHz".

For sure, the ability to "pump" water (or the not-so-dark and yet sinister lava :P ) out of the dungeon is a must have... either that or just simple drains (that the dungeon designer must build and place in good spots) that allow the fluid to "run off".

"Flood-gates" might be an idea too... so you ...

@RAF: "(12 hearts)" that's unusual... but, I'll go look it up.

@Rasmus: I love the GTX 680, I've been looking at getting a 670, 680 or 690 myself (the 690 looks rockin). I've only got my GeForce 9400GT until I upgrade, and it completely sucks in comparison (1 benchmark list that I saw put my ...

Yeah, I must admit that this war has been raging on for quite a bit now. I've been wandering when a ceasefire is gonna be called.

Feel free to post more strings... the more results I have, the better. Thanx for the help man!

And, yeah, I don't understand why some company would still make a 1.0GHz CPU now days... it just seems pointless in the current market.

Happy Birthday OB! I hope it's been a good one.

Is this the part where I sit down with a bucket of popcorn and cheer people on? Hehehe

Just a side question: Has anyone here looked up how much "emissions" your average bovine produces on your average day? Now, think about how many cows there are in the world... it's not just the cars and industry that are heating things up

I've finally discovered this site, that has already done what I was wanting to do here (they've got a whole crapload of people to post detailed CPU specs, including the brand-name strings for each processor)... useful indeed. So now I've just got a whole lot of searching to do

Ah yes, anyone who's played Minecraft will be able to tell you how easy it is to go into insta-panic mode when you're mining deep underground and suddenly break through into lava... I would fall into this category. And yeah, insta-panic mode is right. By the time you get over the "Argh! My butt's ...

Oh no! He's figured us out!
<runs screaming for the hills>

@Linflas: Thanx man, that helps.

As I said above, this is only for a "rather simple" (or so I first thought ) feature for my engine's log file. It's just so that it says something like (for your PC) "Intel Core-2 Duo E8500" instead of "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz" (which I ...

that doesn't mean dungeons can't get very, very wet -- ever heard of underground rivers? dig into the wrong spot and a part of your dungeons floods and watch the imps' head candles go out... :twisted: You could even make this a sort of "trap" that you could use on an unaware enemy... kinda like an ...

Although that is true. It's quite often very amusing to watch 2 jerks trying to "out-jerk" each other... very amusing indeed

DoS attacks are probably the most common form of attack. And, yeah, I've seen that they can become quite a pain-in-the-ass to stop... especially if the attacker has many computers at their disposal (the attacks coming from several different locations... much harder to stop).

Seriously Unserious wrote:*Set's auto destruct sequence on Rasmus' ship* the only way to stop the countdown to your destruction is to finish first Dungeon Dwellers, then this project, and you had better work fast, or .... BOOM!

LoL! That puts a whole new spin on working to a "dead-line"

@Paul: Although you're quite correct in saying that tomorrow's CPUs might not work (although I'd imagine that Intel aren't going to be changing that "Core(TM)" anytime soon, it seems to that all the newer CPUs all have it)... I've personally found that Intel CPUs only have a certain set of sub ...

@Paul: Another 2 strange examples... the "M" for the Celeron, and the "with Radeon(TM) HD Graphics" are both something I didn't expect. It seems that this is becoming quite interesting. But, these strange cases could all be sorted out in the string parser... just remove " D ", " M " and "with ...

@Paul: That "D" is a bit strange... makes me wander if there's an A, B or C too. Thank you for your input.

Is there an actual space between "Core(TM)" and the 2? In any example I've seen, there's been no space... so I'd like to verify it. I'm not trying to split hairs here, but I'm writing a string parsing algorithm and a space there could throw things out :( (I replace "Core(TM)2" with "Core-2", then I ...

Good to hear that the forums are out of the woods... but, it's a shame that Gambit's space was under attack.

Hello all. I've been working a bit lately on determining CPU details for my engine... and I've been looking for a list of all the possible brand-name strings that CPUs can give you, and I've been unable to find a list using Google.

So, I'm asking for the members here to post their brand-name ...

Sorry... I just ask for a link to these... and now, I've spotted these. Sorry for the un-needed request. Thanx for the links Beo!

@Beo: Could I please have a link to those files? I haven't got a copy of DSB DM/CSB... so it'd fit nicely.

ROFL! Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oy, Oy, Oy! Gotta love his comments back at the American
