  1. I can necro this right? The safest of distances for sure Also you broke the game fraydurr, you didn't post what danger you are actually in, so we can't save you now!
  2. Remember this? "Save me!" was one of the first forum games that we played here once W3D Hub was formed around 5 years ago. My, my, how the time flies! Well lets get right into it then. Its really simple, fun, and it goes like this: The OP (so me in this case) posts a description of a situation in which they are in peril, and will most certainly lose their life if there is no intervention. The next poster (which we will call P2 in this example) must then engineer a creative way (McGyver, Superheroes, The A-Team, Avengers, Donald Trump, etc) in which the previous poster will be saved from their peril. However, P2 is then also put in peril, either by the events which led to the saving of the previous poster, or by a non-related event. Return to step 2, P3 saves P2 but also falls into danger, etc, etc. The rules are these: Remain civil and follow all forum rules at all times. Some discussion is allowed, but do not derail this thread. All events must occur linearly in the same timeline/universe, and must not break the "relationship chain", otherwise the game is not as much fun. Do not attempt to break the game. Not specifically a rule, but do try to not post at the exact time as someone else. An accidental ninja-post would split the time line!! Have fun. While working in my lab to get all the wonderful APB Beta players their much needed 1080p resolution (so they don't have to use 800x600 anymore), my lab assistant @delta hears a noise outside. CRASH! A truck loaded with Coronavirus haz-mat suits crashes into the lab, killing the driver and pinning me to the wall! Save me!
  3. @MPRA2 That would indeed be a worst case. While some things have slowed down or stopped completely due to the social isolation protocol, other things with relation to this situation will remain stable, or increase in activity due to the demand of certain goods. I spoke with an employee of NES yesterday (Nashville Electric Services), and he said that the only thing that has changed is that they have been instructed to only work with each other when absolutely necessary, take staggered lunches, etc. Nobody is being sent home, because electricity is pretty important. Likewise, my wife (a nurse) has been told on the subject of getting sent home - "LOL". People like me, and many many others here who have computer-related jobs, are set up (or getting set up) to work from home. @Jerad2142 just got a new desk . And the government is working on getting those who need it some financial assistance to aid in stabilizing the effect on the economy; to avoid a sharp fall. Stock markets and national economies tend to work on a "sine wave" sometimes. While there will, I'm sure, be some decline, and maybe for some time even... I don't see this as a doomsday scenario. The future is uncertain, but we'll make it through for sure. And the best ways to aid in that are to stay optimistic, help those around you when you can, and play your part (social distancing, etc). EDIT: AND STOP BUYING ALL THE TOILET PAPER!
  4. Update on the USA in general: As of yesterday, all citizens are urged to stay home unless there is a really good reason to get out. This new suggested self-imposed "quarantine", or social distancing (new phrase of the week) will last for the next 14 days (15 days from yesterday), and hopefully will slow down the spread of this thing, as well as give hospitals some much-needed time to get people in and out. "Slow the flow", so to speak.
  5. So there is actually a briefing (USA) going on right now.
  6. Welp. Its here. And where ever you are, its probably there too. Lets talk about it - calmly. I am from the United States, currently living in the Nashville Tennessee area, and we have a couple of confirmed cases here (not surprising when there are over a million people). People are panic-buying items like toilet paper (???) soap/disinfectants, cleaning supplies, bread, eggs, meat, etc... While filling up my truck with gasoline earlier (yes I was actually empty, 0.5 gallons remaining), I noticed an older gentleman next to me filling up small Diesel and Gasoline cans in the back of his truck. In the supermarket (walmart in this case), the grocery section was a little on the wild side, very crowded, with most people trying to look like they aren't panic-buying, and shaking their heads in disapproval at the empty shelves which would normally hold things that you wouldn't expect to be sold-out in a "crisis". We currently have some traveling restrictions in effect for going/coming into/out of the country, but nothing internal, yet. There is a rumor that some sort of, dare I say it, self-"quarantine" protocol (basically a strong suggestion to stay at home unless absolutely necessary) might be put into effect "soon". Most people here are handling it quite well I believe. Others, well...yeah others have lost their minds, but I've not seen too many of those yet. What about there? Where are you? What are your federal and local governments doing in response? How about your citizens? Keep this thread civil and panic-free please. Panic helps nobody. And if you don't know the facts, then don't speculate. There is no need to spread misinformation.
  7. Just a short note- You'll notice that there is a teeny tiny update available on the launcher. It is just a not-corrupted water texture. Somehow that happened, and it took us this long to take notice (oops), so 1.5.2.2 is just a micro-patch to fix it. Carry on!
  8. @dblaney1Ahh yeah I forgot about that. You had to go and make it speshul (That was so that you can distribute ttfs packages via the launcher if memory serves?)
  9. It sounds like he is experiencing corrupted ttfs packages. @MAMMOTHTANK make sure your hard drive is not full. Go to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\W3D Hub\games\ia-release\ and delete the "ttfs" folder and all its contents. Then run IA again, and it will re-download your ttfs packages, and hopefully won't corrupt this time. Let us know if it works. EDIT: As dblaney pointed out, IA uses a special ttfs location at C:\Program Files(x86)W3D Hub\games\ia-release\IAFiles\InterimApex\
  10. You may download them both for free from the internet! A quick google search for either one will get you pointed in the right direction
  11. Welcome to W3D Hub! I see you need help... Well for starters, you'll want to have a headset and mic, preferably both working. And then when plugged in correctly, you should be able to jump into Discord or Teamspeak and talk to others by joining the voice channels there. If you are having some sort of issue, can you please elaborate?
  12. Hello Rulue, welcome to W3D Hub! This version of the game is not in active development, because a complete revamp (TSR 2.0) is in the works. This was just a couple small patches that I decided to put together to get the game back to a playable state. The capability of the engine that this version of the game is bound to does not support as much in the way of bots as newer versions of the engine do. Bots could be added, but they would not be able to do as much as the advanced bots in the newest engine version (which TSR 2.0 will be running on), and it would be a lot of time-consuming work for very little gain. So long story short, if you can hold out for TSR 2.0, then there should be some bots coming with it. This version of the game may see some more Quality-of-life patches, but there will not be any feature additions such as bots coming here. Again, welcome!
  13. *helps fegman casually necro this thread* So this is a thing too... You can check them out yourself in the map "Sidewinder" in APB Beta (on the launcher).
  14. YES HE DID YES HE DID FIGHT HIM EAT HIM ALIVE!
  15. You made my wife look at me funny and wonder why I just suddenly laughed hysterically. Thanks bro This. This is perfection.
  16. This is usually due to an unstable connection. Try pinging our game server's IP and see what the success/fail rate is. ping 176.31.21.180 /t Let it run for a few minutes and then stop it with ctrl + c It will then tell you a pass/fail percentage.
  17. No, all the anti-cheat stuff is built into the engine these days. What error are you getting when you lose connection?
  18. There may be other places, but Jonwil keeps the tiberiantechnologies.org site up to date with all the major 4.6 releases. Btw, noticed you in the Beta event over the weekend Feel like old times?
