  1. Morning all,

    I have this problem, after having to reinstall Emergency 4 - upon loading the program, it opens with a black screen and then closes almost instantly. I've tried compatability mode, running as an admin, updating graphic card drivers, running on one core/creating a batch file, reinstalling but nothing works. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium on a HP G60 120EM. Attached is a logfile and DXDIAG.txt - thanks in advance :)

  2. FFS, I despair in humanity sometimes. To all the people constantly moaning about what they perceive to be a lack of progress or not been released soon enough, THINK. Dyson and Raf are not paid - not a penny. Neither are any other members of the MM team; they could just walk away from this mod and drop it whenever they want to, or keep it private. And with the level of constant moaning they're getting, I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if they did! Props to you Dyson, Raf and the rest of the team, its a great mod and only going to get better :)

    And remember the old adage: Good things come to those who wait!

  3. I'm relatively new to this forum, and have been making the same observations myself about the childishness, immaturity and flagrant disregard for social norms and etiquette - the belief amongst so many of the kiddies that because they are behind the computer, they can tlk liek dis cuz no1ne rily cairs anywayz? (for my full rant on englick comunicateshun skillz c dis: http://forum.emergency-planet.com/index.php?/topic/15722-only-here/). The lack of a basic English skills is only one factor that contributes to the lack of intelligent conversation, the lack of ability to read, comprehend and follow simple instructions, not understanding the need to adhere the TOS (heck, not even bothering to read the TOS), and whingeing every time someone criticizes them or their work. Any comments which don't follow the 'gr8 model man' line will get an angry reply saying how 'it's not nice', and any attempts of rule enforcement/forum moderation comes with a flood of protestations about bullying, brutality, lack of free speech, and i dident no and i iz rily sory plz dont bann me plz plz plz ill b gud from now oni promise!!!!

    Don't get me wrong, there are lots of highly intelligent and mature users on this site - they usually tend to be the mod makers, as some degree of competence is required to actually make a mod. An example of this childish lunacy actually having a noticeable detrimental effect is on the MM thread - Dyson was constantly asked the same question three times by the same user (each time giving the same answer), and a couple of posts later after harassment from the kiddies posts this, which pretty much sums up the way things are going and will continue to go without tough enforcement:

    Seriously what has happened to this forum? I remember when everyone was nice, like genuinely nice, now everyone's out for a cheap dig at everyone else. Sickens me that thhe community has turned so sour.

    Please no more off topic still.

    Respect to all the mods, mod makers and mature members of this site, you're doing a great job, keep it up :)

    Cheers,

    P.S And please tell me someone else noticed the irony in this:

    :excl: OOHHH!!! LEARN TO SPELL NEWFOUNDKING!! (see it's not nice is it!!!) You are still going on about me not being able to spell, just leave it will you! (refering to other topic). It's funny because you just close a topic when it gets to heated for you!!!! OOHHH scared are we????? :excl:

    *refering = referring* (and don't get me started on the grammar) :P

  4. with 1,000,001 i was being sarcastic....just to show there are still bugs that need fixing

    Yeah, sarcasm, that's a really great way to motivate unpaid modders to do even more work, considering the massive amount of time they've poured into this. </sarcasm> :D

    (technically you weren't being sarcastic, you were exaggerating - there's a subtle difference)

    Props to you Dyson/MM team - you're doing a great job, keep it up! :)
