there are many reasons for this, but I can only comment that they should have left GIS alone, and not let ACS divest. They'd have been stronger this decade with those performing assets.

so yeah, thanks Carl.

ut2004 had the make something unreal contest which really kicked maps and mods up a notch.

i think even ut99 had some of those "we're small" maps like Simpsons house, etc.

but yeah, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, all seemingly covered.

It seems the affected update file seems to have been over written with 0s on the 42kb file, whereas the before and after sys files have obfuscated ays/config file info as expected.

Neat idea and implementation!

I'm a bit jaded from the internet so I couldn't relax. I was waiting for something to jump out or a big eyeball or something.

They all use the same hardware in the joysticks and have been for years (maybe since 90s). there must have been a defective version made along the way, but it's not an easy nor cost effective repair.

I applaud the effort.

just because he has passion and conviction about a cause linked to leaving a legacy doesn't mean it follows any... cultishness.

I myself am a bit of an exobrainian but not as well organized or anywh near as far down the part as Karl is. it's a noble cause to not want to dismiss what never was capturable before; conversations between friends and family that we can harvest, replay, or add as a chatbot to have shell versions of deceased loved ones.
