someone should make a texture update

No one got huffy and the APPEARANCE ( I even bolded the bit about him not meaning to come across that way so it was apparent what I was saying ) was poor. Look at Ogo's take on it. It was advice on the community's reaction to things rather then me being cheesed off at him (the computer bit was what promoted me to write what I wrote). As the fat guy who ran the bodega said in the movie Sleepers, "It's jut free advice from me to jew. Do wit it as you please." I guess the STFU bit was what prompted the comment but it wasn't really me saying it ffs.

He might not have meant any rudeness (most of us regularly say things like "Someone should go Rix Exp" or "our team should stop sucking" or the perennial favourite "Why the $#@! are you going Tac?") but if the first thing he posts on our forums is "Scuse me I'm a new player but I want this, this and this" then it can come off negatively (it did in my eyes).

100 textures may be nothing in a game, but bear in mind that most of us are nostalgic nubbins who are playing a game that is almost ten years old, and the Development guys and girls aren't paid. This is why updates are slow.

People also don't like it when noobs come in and say "x doesn't seem so hard". If it isn't so hard, then why aren't they doing it?

And yeah, the game looks dated. Like I said, it's almost ten years old. What do you think?!

Yes and now that she is old enough to have a beer legally, I should try and buy her one for all her hard work.
All of the high res stuff is awesomesauce.

BTW Thanks Q.

i didn't mean to offend anyone, i was simply wondering whether or not someone had made a texture pack. the bit about the computer was probably a bit uncalled for, but i'm used to game forums where that's considered mediocre.

you said 'someone should do...'

maybe you are right. go do it.

and for every idea you have from now onwards, use the search button or DIY (the third option, shut the $#@! up, is also supported)

Dude evincar, calm down.

Mesial's site should probable be more visible on places such as the "download" page, the wiki, maybe even sticky a thread in gameplay (very maybe). Art & Ingame Content is buried in "development zone" and "models textures and images" is buried even further down. I think a link to Mesial's site on the "download" page would probably make the most sense, that would be my first place to look if I wanted to upgrade my graphics.

(There's even a mods section, but it only has one chatpack.)

I don't think Macattack278 said anything wrong at all.

Heh, don't mind everyone! They love ya, they're just grouchy. Anywho, yes, hurray for Mesial and his awesome texture-filled pages of awesome. They should indeed be more advertised. Even though my computer is crappy and all I have installed are the environment and asteroid high-res textures.

But even just those make a huge difference.

Mac welcome aboard I saw you in game tonight glad to see you still playing. Next time when your team mate (me MrChaos) is shooting at you (Macattack) it means come to me so I can pick up your pod and not Im trying to waste ammo on you in an effort to do

Sincerely it was advice and some back story to clue you in rather then being bitchy (or at least that was my attempt) since allot of people put in allot of free time keeping things running. Go over to the wiki and read the history on the game and you might understand better why people who can be so damn feisty at times.

PS Quia have the spotted, cud chewing, flatulant one buy you a beer on me too Ill pay him back when I see him
