So got one of Small's demos from yesterday, our server, crashed at 2:22 every time I played it. Condump from it revealed nothing, but a condump from of mine that crashed had this right before. Requesting texture value from var "$bumpmap" which is not a texture value (material: maps/dod_colmar/wood/woodfloor00_808_736_184) Requesting texture value from var "$bumpmap" which is not a texture value (material: maps/dod_colmar/wood/woodfloor007a_c17_808_736_184) However, none of the other demos had any similar errors before crashing, AND this error occurred a few times before the crash (so it is either on my end, and/or not related to the crash itself. Plus, I've never heard of a texture file crashing a demo before. Again, this issue does not happen when demo on any other server, only ours, and is not just Kaba and/or me, but also Cpl Small experienced the crash too. I'm out of resources at this point to check against but I think I've eliminated most variables that this could be client side.

Just to keep others up to speed (been talking to Kaba on steammsg), we have tried 5 different demos on 3 different maps. 2 of them, recorded our own server, crashed, along with 2 of my own demos on our server; regardless of what map it is on. Had no time to dump the console log before it crashed (am trying to do so again). HOWEVER, one recorded on another server had no issues. Deduction would assume that it is an issue with our server, so am going to record some on another server and see if I can replicate the problem elsewhere. Welcome to any other ideas if I'm forgetting about something. edit: ok tried a 4 minute long demo on 1stRB server, no problems. Tried a 4 minute long demo on OUR server, crashed in a few minutes. Something is amiss in our server : ( Can another MSO guy try recording a demo in our server and see if you get similar issues? Leave it running for a bit, like 4 minutes, and then play it back, see if it crashes.

That one crashes as well, but lasts a little longer. Let me research a bit and I'll post here once I find something!

Just tried playing it in mine, crashed within seconds. SO, tried a different demo, worked fine. Deduction concludes that the demo itself is corrupted. Now the question is WHY? Do us a favor; record a quick new demo and post it up here, let's try another one out and see if we can at least exclude the possibility that ALL your demo's are becoming unplayable, instead of the possibility that maybe it was just this one, then can check this pal.dem one out more and see if we can figure what went wrong : )

I banned him for a week back in November last year (link), so this will be his second.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEGWEAK I MEAN ARMSTRONG WOOOOJOTOE

This is gonna be a good final but holyshit is it nerve wracking. Crawford was the only thing keeping it together during those damn power plays. edit: 5th longest final game in history, I feel sorry for people who Tivo'd "only" 2 extra hours on it:

Sounds about right. I visited China in the '90s and after taking pictures in Haidong of some protesting Tibetan monks, I was approached by police who asked that I remove the pictures. I pretended to. I still have those somewhere, but they were so unimpressive I never bothered keeping track of them. I think the Chinese officials figure the more they restrict, even that which is asinine, the less that will slip through of importance.

Got to find new publisher; fell out with other one : ( Still shopping it around at the moment. I'll make a new post once I know more, thanks for the interest tho!

NICE parkers! For people like me who haven't been following hockey the whole year, I am loving all the stat-cheatsheets that are popping up. Here's another:

On one hand, it is usually a positive attribute to any society to have critical thinkers questioning everything (some that come to mind are Socrates and all the Greek skeptics, Francis Bacon, Descartes, Sir Thomas Moore, William Graham Summer). These guys helped establish the notion that we have a responsibility to look beyond what we're told to think. However, coming across as a crazy raving lunatic, shouting out your website and random spouts of conspiracies, only makes it so that if you ever actually discover something true, no one (of any consequential importance at least) will believe you. So no matter if Alex Jones is right or wrong, he's not helping anyone. What a dick.

HAPPY BIRTHDYA GIRSWOLD YOU FOGEY

While I applaud your taste in humorous videos, there is no visible sloth in that. Therefore I do not approve and hereby curse you to forever get molested in your sleep by sloth.
