I have a problem, whatever I do (tcp/ip config, ad-aware) I cannot ping the server on which the academy JK:JA servers are hosted(Huxleys server). I can't connect or ping to the ip, so I can't connect to any of those servers. Help is welcomed  EDIT: Even on a clean JK:JA install with the patch, it's the same. _______________ Quote: Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion I gain strength.

Ulic: When you uninstall do you delete everything in teh folders once the installer is complete, i know it likes to leave things hanging around. Try that and just install the update and see if you can connect to any normal public server. Bail: Firewire is a means to move data from storage devices/digital cameras/digital recorders. Its something to compete with USB, and it is faster than USB 1.0, but USB 2.0 is faster than FireWire _______________ When a Man lies he murder's some part of the world.

I have some comp problems.. 1. Everytime my comp starts up, it seems to feel obliged to bring up the "system32" folder. Dunno why 2. Sometimes when I'm doing something important, or have some sweet downloads lined up, it feels the need to show me a nice, blue screen, saying something along the lines of "lots of weird a$$ numbers, PFN_LIST_CORRUPT" That's pretty much it.. I'm runnin win2k pro, btw. According to ad-aware, I don't have any silly spyware running, so that's not it. Other than that, my specs are: Athlon XP2000+ Asus A7V133 256 MB Sdram (Yup, it sucks:p) GeForce 4 Ti 4200 128 MB Now get to work, monkey! _______________ Second-in-command of the mighty FiZZsters |

OK, I'm looking for a useful link/book. I'm trying to figure out Linux more, but most of the books I can get for free are from 1998. Not helpful. So if you know of a site/book to address modern Linux or such, that'd be great (I am reading the older books for basics). Here is some help on what I am using as a second OS: Mandrak Linux 9.2, with the KDE interface. I will move up to GNOME or something else with more skill. So if you can find something for the KDE (KDE for Dummies?) that would be great. Free is great too. Oh, and since I have a stupid connection at home, you may e-mail me as well.

I think I got an answer for my previous question so now I got a new one (i deleted my old question) In an installation-documentation file I see that I can either make a .a or a .so file to use with my programs. That is if I include the header file I d/led in my program I have to use the .a or the .so file (whichever I choose). My questions are: => It says that .a is archive file and .so is shared object. Wtf is an archive file? => What's the difference between the two? => How do I link either one with my program? I thought that I'm supposed to link only .o files :/ BTW: I'm using GCC 3.3.2 if that's any useful for the reply _______________ Your friends of today, are your enemies of tomorrow.

I already have a unbind all command but and my configuration is perfect the only thing that is weird is that if I change my skin during the game thats the skin I'll have when I log back even though in my script I have the /model bla lba bla command. I'll try to exec the script from the autoexec maybe it will work Thanks |

dont think you can delete your script, the only thing you can really do is have a 'perfect' version of your config that you want to start up with every time, like defaultcfg.cfg and in your auto exec execute taht script. Or you can have a key bound to unbind all, which will remove all binds you have in jampconfig.cfg _______________ When a Man lies he murder's some part of the world.

Hi Orion I have a question to ask on scripting for JKA. I've done a configuration script with just binding and stuff like this fir JKA and I want to know if I can add DOS command in it. For example I would like to be able to delete the jampconfig.cfg everytime I load my script. The reason for this is that this file is genereted automatically when you lod on a server. It keeps all ur configuration into this file and when u come back you still have the same config. Now the problem is that if during the time I play I change skin then best time I will come I will still have the last skin used until I reload my script. (even though my script name is autoexec, so it loads when I open the game). Is there a way I can ask my script to delete all kind of jampconfig.cfg file? Your help would be appreciated. |

I wouldn't knock the possibility that it could be a huge load of spyware on the computer all running at once. Try a spyware scanner.
