So now, I am typing this with my old RIVA TNT2 graphics card.

We've got two options:
1. The game's graphics will be simple enough to get 60fps on my gfx card (ouch)
2. Somebody donate a video card that's a bit better. It will either need to be designed for AGP 4x, because my system doesn't support anything faster (crashes with 8x cards)

Even if you happened to have a Geforce2 laying around, that would work much better than what I have now.

I'm still modeling in the meantime, but I won't be able to finish the game engine with the card I'm using. Maybe someone could help out?

I have a Geforce 2 MX, but it's in my P2 333mhz rig.
Sorry, I don't have any other suitable cards.

I had the band on the bills, but it was off center, so Iwhen looking at it on an angle, the band didnt line up. I removed it because of that. Ill add it back again, give me ten minutes.
And you want canadian money? Ill see what I can do...

I have a Geforce4, but I would need it back eventually

If you want canadian money, you are going to have to find me the front and back of a canadian bill without a big watermark on it.

Besdies, this is in Wisconsin. They might have SOME Canadian money, being relatively close to the border, but not much. More coinage than bills, though.

This looks promising... and I'd be very happy if I was in it, I don't have to be a main character, but if I was in the game, that would be awesome, you lot don't know me too well... put it this way, i'm usually found wearing concert t-shirts, or t-shirts that promote bands, and ripped jeans or non-ripped black jeans, i'll try to get a recent photo for the face, and I have dark-brown spikey hair (although it's different right now), I'm usually at the pub with some friends, or found at home on Benheck.com!

I think there should be side missions where you have to build portables for people lol

That's better HK-47. I don't want Canadian money, it was just the only banded money I could find. (I'm assuming you got that from the picture? I didn't even really look at it.)

Me have a compaq presario 7000 series I gutted, I still have gfx card, if you want it marshall... I think it's a geforce 2 MX or something like it (Shh.. I'm here (my computer is broken and I'm using another) instead of studying Latin.) PM me!

I have a 64 MB piece of crap card, I PM'd you about it.

Post by **marshallh** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 7:56 pm

Skyone I'm grateful for your offer, but that card uses a Kyros II chipset and has tons of compatibility problems. I am glad for the offer though.
Totokan thanks for offering, I think I may take you up on your deal if I can scrounge up some dough for shipping.

More tiles modeled, some more textures etc... Altogether steady progress.
Tomorrow you'll see the reason I have no money

Hey, I have a Gforce 4 or something sitting around somewhere that I can donate if I find it. I'll PM you if I can manage to pull it out of my attic.

Well the money loss could be a pack of gum. Or a robot... but I agree with Triton inquiring minds do want to know. Well I guess we'll know tommorrow.
