Other Games / What was that Real Time roguelike game?

Life Advice / My computer is deader than a Goblin amongst Giant Molerats
« on: January 01, 2009, 07:16:51 pm »No issue, I thought, I will just turn it off then on, and continue from the last autosave. I turn it off, then try to turn it back on. It turns on and doesn't run the fans or anything internal, not even the monitor. I don't think of this as a major problem, so I go behind the computer and unplug everything including the power. I replug them all and try another boot.
This time the computer runs, but wrong, meaning the fans go off and run at 1000% of safe speed, and the computer beeps once every few seconds. I am knowledged in compaq beep codes and decided to look it up, there was nothing on a single beep beep code. I assumed it was something wrong with the processor and was adamant that a new one would fix 'er right up.
Skip three days later, after getting a great bargain on Ebay for the exact same processor as the one I had before, I go through the steps of replacing it. After getting it all nice and snug inside, I try another boot. To my despair, the same thing happens as before.
So here I am, using my 10 year old computer with 100 MB of ram and a prehistoric amount of processing power, and it runs Windows ME, hooray! I have no idea what to do next, I've tried brainstorming to no avail. I may try getting a new computer with the same DDR compatibility so i can just take the RAM and video card out of my old one along with the harddrive.
Or maybe not, if someone can tell me what the hell happened to my computer, I was thinking it was the power supply or something like that.

I'm not going to lie, I don't see this game as being a major success, but the proposed developer has a history of making rather good city builder/rts games, so I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.
Either way I'm stoked.

« on: July 03, 2008, 07:07:41 pm »It could easily be described in seven(nine) words: Epic, turn based RPG. It's also Open-Source.
But then again, most people who are avid freeware searchers already know of it. I just wanted to make a topic so the discussion could be in one spot.

DF Community Games & Stories / Lorbam Wailwinds, Speardwarf.
« on: June 23, 2008, 08:34:27 pm »The Dwarves of all people knew what a full Demon assault could do to the world, the King ordered a Militarization of every able-bodied dwarf immediately when he heard the news. My father, a weaponsmith, was one of the first drafted into the war-effort. I watched him work day-in day-out on a spear, but this spear was no steel, it was Adamantine, special ordered by the King. Once my father finished the spear, he was forced into the legions. I never saw him again.
The year was 984 when the Dwarves finally managed to fight the demons back to their abyss. The king himself sealed the opening, sacrificing himself to remove the magics that held the rift open. His spear is still used as a sign of the dwarven sacrifice to save the world from demons, again.
I was Seventy, a youngling by dwarven standards, when I joined my Fortress' Guard. I became proficient with the spear, an honor in my country. I lived a peaceful life, my fort was not large enough to attract attention from the Goblins, and all we had to fend off was a wolf pack every summer or two. Until, on the 3rd of Felsite, year 1050, my journey began.

DF Modding / How to make wrestlers spawn with a weapon?
« on: January 07, 2008, 07:17:00 pm »code:[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_BATTLE_FIST]

I cant seem to make them spawn with it. I'm not sure if it's something to do with Wrestlers never starting with weapons otherwise.
