Huh. So now, in an inversion of the usual trope, listen to me complain that a player attack is too OP : A very powerful attack is a great thing to have, of course, but this is just insane . I want to see my enemies burn, suffer and scream in terror, not just fall over dead where they stand :twisted:...

Well, in my case, holding CTRL while starting new game in dev mode simply causes a CTD. Might be due to installing and then uninstalling the 10th Mod, or perhaps because this XP install is >6 years old, and thus by now very volatile in general. I get CTD's randomly every couple of minutes when runni...

Thanks. I managed to make it work, in the end. The manual is quite misleading in this regard, though - unless it's some weird issue specific to this model of keyboard: Instead of "jump, crouch, attack", the correct input is " tap jump, tap crouch, tap attack". The game seems to b...

This might sound silly, but how do I perform the jump attack in OOTF? Every description I've found, including the manual, points to pressing jump > crouch > attack - in sequence, a split second apart. However, I can't seem to get it to work, no matter what I do. :? I've tried just about every permut...

Shame about the MP - but at least the technical capability exists, which is somehow reassuring. Console exclusives, yeah. That's what "Let's Play"s are for, at least for the platforms too new to emulate well (eg. PS4). TAG is an obvious exception for me - because well, duh. 'Nuff said. Tha...

Interesting. The next obvious line of investigation was to check if Arokh is also fireproof (lava-proof?). Unsuprisingly, it appears that he is - and of course Rynn isn't , but well, we already knew that. The floor is lava!.JPG Curiously, some areas of the lava river in Volcano can be landed on norm...

OK, thanks. So that's a way to inject shaders, good. I do have XP+W7 (both x64) dual boot, so there should be no problem on that front. Are there any good texture packs available? I see that there was an attempt at one, around 2 years ago, but it's incomplete and abandoned. Sounds like a proper 20th...

I'm not much of a book reader myself. Also, over the last few years I had very few opportunities for book-reading. Now the situation is changing, hopefully for the better. I'd certainly like to read at least that one Witcher book I had mentioned (still don't even know its name yet, though); I had ov...

While fooling around with Arokh's bite attack (which I totally forgot was even a thing, and is unrelated to what happened), I accidentally caused a silly glitch: Arokh swimming glitch.JPG Normally Arokh doesn't like bodies of water - or so it would appear, at least; presumably due to being a red dra...

Well, there was a Chinese(?) dragon enemy(boss) in TR2. Who was actually formerly a human, transformed by a powerful artifact. So there's that connection. Also, Lara retrieved said artifact and kept it, but never used it. Makes a lot of sense though, considering how its power is invoked. I have play...

OK, so the prospects for emulation look good then. Normally I wouldn't touch any such consoles with a 10 foot pole, and my stance regarding console-only games is best portrayed by HK-47's "Prejudice set to maximum!" taunt - but an exception is clearly in order here :mrgreen: I even went an...

Ok, that's cool. I guess I'll probably also join the Steam community, that looks like it could be useful. As of right now, I'd estimate that it won't be until early May before I can hope to even think of recording any content for my LP. That having been said, I might as well start with recording the...

Hmm, isn't there a citywide noise ordinance which applies in your area during the night? Our laws are such that it doesn't matter where you live; causing excess noise at night that bothers any other residents (doesn't matter if it's screaming, dogs barking, loud music, construction work, etc) is gro...

Wow, now that's just plain messed up. You have my sympathy. Now, I don't know what the applicable laws in the UK are, but here are a few possible options: During night hours, some form of noise ordinance should apply. In the case you've described, that pretty much means open hunting season. In Polan...

Sad. But far from unexpected. Well, I'm not much of a multiplayer type myself, for that matter. The last multiplayer game I remember playing (over a decade ago!) was Quake 3 - something to the tune of 15 vs 15 IIRC, on a rather small and open map. That was absolutely hilarious, though: rockets and g...
