June 6th, 1999YOYOh yoy, oh yoy! Jump for joy!
Vertex-SnapperFor all you people out there who have problems with verticies that just wont line up...

I'm working on a program that takes a map you've made and snaps verticies together if they are within a specified distance of eachother, and on separate brushes.  Its nice for getting rid of weird gaps in levels, altho dependning on how you designed your level might cause more problems than it fixes.  I'm working on making it a little smarter, but so far its sealed up minor gaps all over the place on two of my maps with few problems.

Feel free to email me with questions or ideas of what else I can make it fix. (Don't suggest leaks, or i'll kick your butt)

Heres some sample output:

Distance Limit = 8
FILENAME: sr12.map
690 valid triangles found
58 possible vertex pairs found
12 pairs invalidated -> DEGEN_TRI
46 brushes modified
63 triangle modifications
sr12_F.map created. 7.0 seconds elapsed

June 5th, 1999BBoard FixedFor some reason, the new versions of Netscape won't open links in a frame unless they come from the same server or something.  I don't know why this is, but I've come up with a little fix.  I just made the intro message a BBoard post.  It's not as cool as the original one, but ahh well (not that anybody really looks at it anyway).
Midnight Ladders FixedAbout the only complaint I've had for Midnight is the ladders.  If you go up them next to the wall, you can get stuck (personally I don't have this problem, but some ppl do :).  This is fixed for the final.  I don't want anyone complaining on my favorite map ;)

June 4th, 1999To all you wannabie webmasters...We aint looking. =)

Thx for your interest however! (which you and I know is a BS statement but hey, as some people think, its gotta look perfezzionalllll... and cater to the masses even if it isnt sincere.)  Im just ranting and half of it i dont know if i mean and whatever.  Just read the top line and none of this.  Unless you like pokemon.  But then you should only read that first sentance and the invisible ink words.  No, I dont have any known mental disorders, however my multiple personalities do. Kinda weird.  So then i said to the Turk, "He was already there!!!". Get it? "He was ALREADY there!!!"  If you are still reading this, you are to be shot.  In the foot.  Because anywhere else it just makes no sence.  "echo n | format c:\ "      Oh, clan CoW rocks! Go join em. Loose knit clan, just join #clan_CoW and they'll let you play with em if they have a match.  Very nice.
June 3rd, 1999Nutiket retiresI have sent off my resignment letter to Jitspoe and Calrathan which seals my departure from Digital Paint. I did not leave for any problems within the development group, but more for the fact that I have been inactive lately and have somewhat lost interest. I have some other projects in process right now that I will be working on, and do not have the time to devote to Digital Paint anymore. I enjoyed my time in Paintball, and unlike the other times I quit, I won't be coming back. I may play from time to time, but I will cease to be an active member in the community.
May 29th, 1999Plan system is no moreNeglected to mention that the .plans got fried too.  As well as my little map download HQ.
Todo list fixed!Thanks to Megiddo for sending me my old todo list, which happened to be the latest updated one! One hug to him!
Todo list fried.Okay, the simple fact is my todolist, "dp_final_todo.txt" is dead/missing/gone.  Dont ask me for specifics.  I'm asking you people out there to, if you saved ANY VERSION of it, to send it here.  If you happen to have your cache set to 100 megs and its hiding in there somewhere, to dig it up and send it over.  DO NOT however try to confirm the fact that my copy is not on my webserver, until you check your cache, or I will personally fillet you. Thanks.  (If you find it you get a big huge hug from me)
PGP CompletedFinally getting back into the swing of things here.  School's over *whew* and I've got time to work on stuff.  It's not as good as it could be, but it's done, and it's sure better than that white thing that's been there forever... Oh, this one has animation too, so you can pump your pistol and make stuff fly out... erm, that didn't sound right ;)  Check it out here.
