Thanks for the help. I've have it working as I need it. Current directory should have been the dat contents directory not the app directory. also I a shortcut and edit the "start in" property for convenience. Windows XP is my OS just to clarify that matter.

Thanks to you Mr. Obj I seem to have it working almost perfectly. But my definition of current directory is where dat2.exe is located, I still need to use .\*.* as my list of files to include but that creates a mysterious . folder (same as if I was to specify the entire directory path to the...

It's been a long time since i've used any comand line apps and longer still that i've needed to suply a list of files to include. If I try .\folderwherefilesarestored\*.* it creates a .\ folder and the second folder. This makes the .dat ugly in datexplorer (it may break stuff), i can fix this by...

i don't understand the purpose of the recurse into subdirectories option. I like comand line apps too, but I like them when their usage is clear. If I ever feel brave enough I may dive into the code and puzzle it all out.

I downloaded Dat2 recently but I just can't get the command arguments right. The usage info is barely useful. Ah well I guess I should be thankful it's not written in cyrillic. (hehe?) Has anyone figured out how to use it? Or can anyone recomend an easier fallout 2 .dat file creator? The only...

the characters ability to dodge and the armours ability to deflect projectiles from small angles both contribute to AC. If the bullet hits the armour but does not defeat the AC then we have a "near miss", if it hits the armour and defeaths the AC it then attempts to penetrate the armour (DT) and...

I'd say because it's shiny and smooth also the players strength is augmented so he can move his heavy ass quicker. Remember which of the primary statistics governs AC, agility, the ability to move and avoid bad stuff. I noticed after boxing in New Reno that my natural damage threshold has...

AC as I understand it is a characters chance to dodge and evade. Area effects, burst and wave attacks would be harder to avoid. The damage threshhold would be the armours way of deflecting the bullets that struck the target then damage reduction would weaken the bullets that got through. So...

Follow Freeman! Now that level was dumb, the rebels will blindly follow the player to their deaths. I doubt anyone, even valve know what gman is or what he represents.

I like the .223 Pistol, it has decent range and decent damage and using the .223 ammo from the FO2 1.05.1 patch it takes down wanamingos almost as easilly as it does pigrats. Looks better than that POS 10mm too :P

The humans had a 50~ year old alien fighter which they somehow managed to learn how to haxx0rz the alien software and hardware, obviously. What sucks is from a small fighter the humans learned how to shut down the mothership and in turn disable the destroyers shield generators. If it was that...

Mars attacks was a spoof and a pretty damned funny one too. There were two nukes in ID4, the second was inserted into the heart of the mothership by two brave american retards.

Didn't Mortal Kombat have a few sequels? If so it had to be popular. Fear the hive-minded masses!

if house of one thousand corpses doesn't do it for you guys how about Dr Strangelove or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb? Or a more recent movie of high calibre and comedy value Team America, world police.

ID4 was terrible, but I think the greenies wanted the earths resources (and maybe some chargrilled white meat). As for the nuke inside the mothership, things explode far easier than implode. it just sucks the way they had to have an alien staring at a counter and the pretty graphics on the alien...
