hello, i installed 1.7.1 yesterday on my mac os 10.6, and my ability to host was disabled (firewalled). i have confirmed this by re-downloaded 1.7.0 and hosting, which encountered no errors. any ideas?

Someone should just update TSG and fix all the issues. Be done with it. I've sent a message to Clem asking if it would be all right with him for me to post an update to TSG on the OoH site. I'll let you know whether it's a "go" or not. Then perhaps those of you who know the issues can det...

I only started in the Myth storyline from Myth II (1999), but to me they always seemed to have an arrogance about them. They never struck me as friendly or even indifferent. This could be simply because they don't really have to care when they live so long and they might see humans and the like as w...

Wow, that must have been something to hear playing from the college bell tower!

[offtopic] hypercard was the most interesting application-content-creation environment i've ever experienced. of all the pre-OSX technologies, that is the one thing i really wish Apple had ported to run in OSX. so easy to program in, so extensible, so magical. double rainbows all the way.

I agree with iron that getting the old stuff finished is a great thing. Why not have categories? * Solo - Completely New * Multi - Completely New * Solo - Based on previous work * Multi - Based on previous work I have a multi Dorfball map I'd love to finish. :) I think a long time frame is good too....

Yeah, but he's not reading his PM's. I have sent him two, one in Sept 2008. I left it there jic.

WOW -- This brings back memories of playing Squad Leader back in the day. Nice!

OMG it's got to be that TFL map I d/l'ed from The Mill and went nuts trying to get it to load in Myth II (because I didn't know the difference).

Dang, it's on the tip of my tongue...

It's Baaak, like Ahnold in Terminator... "I'll be Baaak". (At least that's how I say it in my head)
