The Tain

As you say it's a beta I'll mention a few things. The mesh doesn't show after the plugin is activated - from memory, I think a mesh needs the 01 prefix for it to show without having been played previously or holding down shift. The first map has "Thermopylae pass." - I'm not an expert in E...

Yes there really ought to be a video repository for myth-related things, whether official interviews like that or notable fan-made creations. I remember an old early-2000s era flash vid featuring dancing mauls, warlocks flying on a fireball, Pallor singing & other stuff, very funny it was. Coul...

The original material was 4:3 so you may want to redo the uploads with a 4:3 middle crop instead of 4:3 letterboxed into 16:9, as 4:3 letterboxed into 16:9 stands out like a sore thumb on displays with other aspect ratios. There are these http://www.mythjournals.com/ http://myth.bungie.org/legends/j...

Positives... * Nearly all games today have in-game control screens that look daft with bits jutting out to try and be "cool" or something. Bungie didn't make that mistake. * Like Marathon, Myth has an excellent music score. In most games the music is either fluff, kitsch, extremely melodra...

I was not advocating 7z replace Zip on The Tain. I mentioned the cost of satellite bandwidth because Point is on it and it can easily cost as much as US$15/ GB (in case he didn't realise that).

You do know that bandwidth can be extremely expensive for many satellite internet connections? The compression ratio is about 2% worse if you use the "normal" 7zip settings for LZMA instead of the best. The word size setting needs to be increased to the maximum even after selecting "U...

I agree they should be available in Zip. But I think The Tain should allow a 7z download link in addition to Zip for the largest files. zffapackfinalv3 = 348mb ...with standard zip deflate compression = 157mb ...with best zip deflate compression = 153mb ...with best LZMA 7z compression = 121mb

So..? Does anyone have beta 5?

a few of which did not ship with the final myth (which was sad), but now are available as plugins as part of the TFL map pack.

Mystery TFL multi maps?

CUTSCENE.GOR also works with Myth II + The Fallen Levels; the Myth TFL Quicktime cutscenes are specifically for Myth II on some Mac computers (and Linux?) where the original smacker cutscenes won't play. Could that Tain entry please be updated to be more specific about which platforms the Quicktimes...

Do zip like so:

Myth II's cutscenes were animated by a Japanese company

Spontaneously turning off may mean a faulty PSU or bad capacitors on the motherboard.

Install HWMonitor and see what kind of temperatures your CPU is running at while under load.

Diablo III is hours of WoW-style mouse click pounding and token-grabbing with the odd piece of bad voice acting in between.

Read pages 12 and 13. It looks like they're working on a Marathon IV.
