Spring RTS Engine

Only go with 4 Gb if you have a 64 bit OS. Really 2 Gb is more than enough for what you might use it for. Personally I would stick with Windows XP seeing how vista doesnt seem to be worth upgrading to. Only go to Vista if you want DX 10 which imo is worthless considering some of the comparison shots...

Well for HD makers you cant go wrong with a Seagate or Western Digital. Those are the two major brands that come to mind. Really its whichever has the cheaper HD you are looking for. For ram I dont quite know what to go for. I personally went with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E...

$1000 dollars would be plenty of money to get the needed parts.

Get parts from Newegg. They have awesome deals at great prices. For instance I just built my own computer for $600 by reusing parts.

Well, you have many choices that you can go with on your computer. CPU: Defiantly get a Dual Core or a Quad Core. Multi core games and apps will certainly be the future. You can get both at relatively great prices. I personally went with a quad core, but a dual core can work as well. For a dual core...

Sweet another person who knows of Warzone 2100. Great game by the way. Would love to play online but there is practically no one on.

Yes, there is a version without itunes.

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

Just make sure the checkbox for windows download is checked and not the one with itunes. You dont have to enter your email to download it.

Or you could download the quicktime version that isnt bundled with itunes.

If you do not mind a lack of DX10 (Which is worthless at the moment imo) a Geforce 7950 is a very good card. Its the high end of last generation and is still quite decent at many of todays games. I have the 256Mb version and can run games like UT3 at nearly max settings. They also make a 512Mb versi...

Thats what I plan to do as well eventually. Also the fastest dual core is not worth the extra money. You can actually buy the cheaper model and then overclock it to around 3ghz and beyond. I hear that dual cores overclock very easily and do not heat up as much as a quad core does.

The Q6600 isnt that bad of a price either. I think it is the same price as one of the upper end dual core cpus. Just got mine a while ago and you can multitask like crazy and renders in 3d max are noticeably improved.

Well first you need to decide what you want to do. Do you want to do level design, concept art, programming etc and create a portfolio that is tailored to that area. Even with this, it can be a hard experience trying to get into the game industry. What is a big help is knowing someone in the industr...

I did this car a while ago. I need to get back into practicing some high poly stuff to add to my portfolio. This contains 42,000 polys and was made in 3dsmax 6 and rendered with Mental Ray. NOTE: there is a tire tread, it just doesnt show up well on the render. http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/9059/...

Although sony is taking a big risk with the PS3, that doesnt mean it will be a failure. So what if blue-ray doesnt make it into the mainstream. It will still be used for PS3 and the PS3 can play dvds to. Im astonished how people say there will be no great games. How could Armored core 4, Warhawk, Me...

I did not know that. I looked over the wiki some more and found what you were talking about. It now works thanks for the help.

Im haveing issues with a mod that i have begun work on. I created a .s3o building as my commander, created a script, gave it an FBI, created textures, and placed it into my directory. The problem comes when I start up spring. The game loads fine but my building is entirly invisible. I can select it,...

maybe something along the lines of "Mod Development" would work.

Well If i were alone, I would just save myself. If I was with my family, i would save them.

What are you talking about fanger, I love your mod. I can only play against the computer because my internet connection is horrbile and I cant play online. Im on a satellite connection which is good for browsing the internet but I would get a ping from 1000 to 2000 if i were to play online and thus ...

yep. 229gb of pure gaming goodness. The desktopo doesnt even show all my games. I have many more without a shortcut.

I would think you would have to give us more info on the situation like are with our family or are we alone etc.
