Errol! How's it going, I'm going to PM you after writing this reply.

Like Mr. Bollocks said, congratulations on the good news. Are you going to be picking up from where you left off?

Thanks for the congratulations although commiserations would also be accepted :wink:

I'm aiming at picking up where I left off. I have bags of TDR to C2 map conversions knocking around. I never did work out the file format of the DDRaw model files though. Sorry about that.

First things first though. Toxic Ragers is getting a new design.

Back from the dead. Again!

Not a problem mate, I'm planning on releasing the DDRAW items that I have. I just need to find some free time to get back into the whole C2 editing scene.

Welcome back!

I too have some of your stuff still on hold, e.g. the Power-slide conversions, although I did release part of it, so that makes me feel okay about my partial laziness.

I don't feel toxic ragers needs a graphic re-design. I would miss the hamster staring at me from the up left corner... :lol:

Yay for partial releases! Always leave 'em wanting more :wink:

Too late on the redesign front... this seemed like a good idea at 4am.

Toxic Ragers - Now with more skulls!

I can always add a secret mystery hamster.

Welcome back for thy long vacation, though I almost knew nothing about you except the content your site had a way earlier and also from some other rumours. But the redesign is good, keep working :smile:

An invasion of vets.

I've never played Zombie Driver, I got bored with the influx of zombie games and zombie related game modes (since Left for Dead) that are around nowadays that I just don't bother with anything that has zombies in anymore, 'cept Carma of course.

Re: South Park'ageddon

Post by Errol »

I didn't want to waste a new thread on this but I don't suppose anyone has SP'a-1.6.zip knocking about? How I've managed to lose the most up-to-date version of my own mod I have no idea but I can't find the damn thing anywhere.

Thanks chaps! I have every version apart from 1.6. I definitely released it as evidenced here: Wayback Machine!

Unfortunately Telefragged have cleared their files in the last 12 years :|

Fingers crossed someone managed to snag it.

Are you missing a lot of old stuff? First encounter with your website was the one with the hamster design site, so I don't have any files from before...

I like the redesign very much! Clean, fast and to the point. Makes me want to do a redesign for my own site too :tongue:

Just that one file... and the site updates from November '99 but I seem to remember deleting those accidentally.

While trying to find SP'a 1.6 I have found masses and masses of unreleased stuff. 9 Slipknot peds, 4 or 5 cars, some maps. As well as all the missing-from-the-internet content of Ratty's old site Carmageddon2.co.uk (before I bought it)

Thanks for the comments on the new layout. I bought a Cintiq a few years back and rarely use it and it seemed a good way to design a site.

And on the subject of Zombie Driver, I'd recommend it, I grabbed it from Steam about 1 day before the Christmas sale knocked 75% off the price :sad: It's one of those games that you can just jump in and out of for a quick fix. The aesthetics are very much to my taste - but that's a whole other debate as some of you will remember, the post apoc vs shiney, clean and bright... let the fires commence :smile:

Yo!

the site is looking good Errol. I digg all the little preview images for the templates and downloads. You could also use the ingame maps as preview for the c2 tracks.

i wonders what the new files will bring us.

Keep it up, one week and counting... :thumbsup:

Good plan on using the mini-maps for C2 tracks. I've been struggling to think what to use for those. I'll also bundled all the same map templates together into a single larger file. (As in airp, airport1, airport2, airport3 and airport_mission all together as AirportTemplate.zip) Filesize is less of an issue these days :wink:

Niceness work so far. I love digging through all the old stuff in hope to find some old treasures.

That first new release track was okay, I have seen many worse creations...

You should add a commenting feature, so I can give nasty crits on those new files :cool:

Post commenting is "coming soon". I don't want people to register but I also hate those "what are these letters" type CAPTCHA thingies. I'm trying to come up with something sleek and not likely to get the hell spammed out of it.

If you spot anything broken in the archives then give me a shout. It's taking awhile to fix all the file links and things like that.

You can use multiple techiques to avoid spam.

First you can check if client allows cookies and check if session cookie is set. Next you can try to validate user agent and ban specific bad ones.

Capcha if good written can be a good defence too with the other checks if possible.

You could make a hidden bot-trap thingie (based on robots.txt file) to get rid of almost all bad-bots, temporary banning their ip based on access control file stored on the server root and managed by some php script :smile:

I use kinda of this defence on my site (i have it more complex) so my site does't get all the junk it was getting the way ago before i started using it.
