Ok, well, let's hope you can start working on this soon. I'm eager to see some progress here, especially since I myself am too busy to work on my own mix at the moment... :blush:

Ok, well, when you have something to show us, send me a PM and I'll give you the login info. But was that what you meant by/wanted with a private forum?

Er... no. It has an FTP though, and a website is in the making. Why, you wanted to post your wips somewhere non-public or you wanted to discuss something non-public? Want me to PM the FTP login stuff?

About those text files... I really would prefer it if you could keep the links, the mascot images and the mascot numbers. Some of the bios also contains links integrated into the body text, and we lose these by using plain txt (or don't we?). Maybe a HTML would work better. The absolute best solution would be individual html files for each mascot - I think that would make things easier for Liontamer too, once he starts uploading them to the "wiki". I think I'll have to ask him about this so I know for sure what I'm talking about. Thanks for your efforts, guys, I really am trying to do more...

I think people who manufacture portable mp3 players have to have a license for the decoder. But it's not like portable ogg players come for free, so... meh. You can send me whatever format you like, Mick, I can always convert it

But I'm viewing the folder as a "detailed list". And even so, this doesn't happen with other folders, even when viewing them with thumbnails.

Ok, thanks, TM. This is pretty creepy stuff... I never really understood this "free codec" stuff, I don't remember ever having to pay for listening to or encoding an mp3...

I spoke to a friend who has had the same problem himself... he said something about windows explorer caching all the files in the folder. Could be true, but I have so many other, much bigger folders on my computer that don't act like this. I guess I'll just stay out of the folder until I can find a solution.

Argh. Great work, Polo. I'm sorry I've been so absent, leaving something hanging on the edge of completion, but my life is a disaster right now. I can't promise anything but that this thing will be done before summer, or I'll put my eyes out of service with a fork or something. Pain, or fear of pain, is a good motivator. So is blindness...

Alright! Piano action?

Interesting stuff you got there, met. Which song do you want to remix, then?

I did a full format first, but then I had to quit the installation because I'd lost my cd key. So the next time I tried I only did a quick format, but then the drive was already empty... and yes, I'm using XP and NTFS. The thing is, there's nothing really special about this folder. It contains only about 20 files or so. What can I do to save the hard drive, then? Is there some nice, free software that can check my drive? Defrag found nothing... Anyway, sometimes explorer crashes (and I mean on all windows computers) and then it restarts itself with a clean memory and nothing in the task bar - but without restarting the computer. Is there a way to cause explorer to crash like this, because closing it using the task manager just leaves you with the task bar and nothing else, meaning you have to restart the compo anyway.

I'm having some odd problems with my computer. I just reinstalled windows on a clean hard drive and I've got everything set up. Suddenly the computer is running very slow and when I look in the task manager, explorer.exe is hogging 50% of my cpu and over 120 MB of ram (I have 2GB, so no problem, but it's a pretty clear sign that something's wrong, right?). This happens when I browse certain folders on my computer and won't stop until I restart the computer (upon which explorer won't close, btw). What's wrong? I've also noticed that when Reason is running, all sounds are played in half their original speed and octaved down (except for reason itself). Movies are also played in half speed. As soon as I close Reason, everything goes back to normal. This has nothing to do with the other problem, I think. It's kinda funny... Any clues? EDIT: I've located a folder which, upon being browsed, causes this issue. The question is, is this because the folder is located on a bad hard drive sector or is there a virus in the folder? I haven't been able to find one, anyway. I'll give defragging a try, see if it can find anything.

I'm glad you want to join and will sign you up. Could you send me a little something to show your abilities? Preferrably something finished.

I like this remix so much... that I feel inclined to make a new version of it. I really like your idea for a remix.

I think that lead synth that comes in at 00:46 is too loud, and it's also rather "dead" - it would have sounded much better had it been more modulated. Very nice arps though. And the church organ at 1:15 fits so well in this mix. The guitars reminded me of the UT soundtrack... they sound sampled, but it doesn't matter at all. They sound much better than anything I've ever managed to fake so far . It gets a lot worse when people fake lead guitars... anyway, I actually liked the song title. But it really wouldn't have been the same without that exclamation mark

Yaaay, a returnee!

Sometimes, an ordinary unzipper (like, WinZip or WinAce) will allow you to do this.

It's too bad their GBS collection is so small though... they're pretty tough to rip, or so I've heard.

In case you don't know where to find them, this is one place: www.zophar.net/nsf Please consult the track list in the first post when picking a song. And - glad you want to join in - just tell me when you've picked a song and I'll sign you up.

I remember when I'd been playing too much Quake and felt this strange urge to run over people's backpacks in school so I could pick up their ammo... heheheh... that's when I decided to start playing... a little less. NOLF taught me to stop doing that. But then I got screwed over in System Shock 2...

Huh? The project is still running, but slow. I've sent a PM to those involved and will kick them in a few days if they don't reply. Having songs listed as taken doesn't help the project at all, does it If you're interested in joining, just pick a song (preferably one that isn't done, but if you want, you can take a song that's already listed as "claimed", as stated in the first post) and send me a WiP.

State of War. It reeks of unprofessionalism but it's still fun to play.

Alternatively, you could get started on your own mix for your own project.

Yep. Glad you got back to me so quickly. I understand you're busy (so am I, obviously), I just need people to check back once in a while so I know they're still on...
