<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> hva skal du spørre om?<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Yep.<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> det sier eg ikkje!!<br>
<b>Vira:</b> how?<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Go here ---&gt;   http://www.westwood.com/infodir/techsupport/techra.html<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Step by step instructions are there for ya.<br>
<b>Vira:</b> And What does Video Buffer Error Mean it says that when i try to load RA win95 on another computer<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> åhhh....<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> eg kommer ikkje på noe bra...<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> The instructions for connecting DOS and Win95 versions over an IPX network are listed there.<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> eg har 3-4 q.<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> men det gjør eg sikkert etterpå...<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> You should point your browser there and follow the instructions (it would take too long here)<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> kanskje eg skal spørre om counterstrike...<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> How much memory is on the video card that you are loading RA onto?<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> hva er god bedring på eng. ?<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> well... gi meg noen :-)<br>

<b>Ted-WS:</b> Sure.<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> jada... "God Bedring!"<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> "Håper du blir bedre"<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> eg fikk nett høre av en person at eg er "extremely cool because of my name and funky attitude" ...<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> etc.<br>

<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> ahh the sq. button works!!!!!<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Ahh, well, I shouldn't say now, but I intend to make it worth your while!<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> No, not that I have found.   There is hardware available that allows you to do this, but I think it runs around $100.00 or so.<br>
<b>private from Xplode:</b> Ask a good one<br>
<b>&lt;KyLe1&gt;</b> Will there be a chance to play aganst any of you (WS Employees) in the tournament you where talking about?<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Okay, we had better move on.<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> Denne +'en er cool<br>
<b>&lt;KyLe1&gt;</b> Thanx a lot, Ted!<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Codeboy is next.<br>
<I>KyLe1 #Tech_Support :Cannot send to channel</I><br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> så du " Will there be a chance to play aganst any of you (WS Employees) in the tournament you where talking about?"<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> yeah, well, you've lost it...<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Yes!  I'll involve some of our playtesters, the original programmers, and designers.  I'll be in it too.<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> sendte eg det til kanalen<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> yup<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> ok.<br>

<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> The tournament Westwood is going to start<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> like a Ladder; only better<br>

<b>private from here2day:</b> im going to ask about their new C&C game... im trying to be a beta tester 4 it<br>
<b>CarnbY:</b> will the music CD's be available in the stores, or only by ordering directly from you?<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> I think only by ordering from us at first.   We have had inquiries though, and we are running out extremely fast right now.<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> More are being created.<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> ?<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> hmmm<br>
<b>CarnbY:</b> that's nice...<br>
<b>Ted-WS is away:</b> THanks. I'll add you to the list and call upon you when it's your turn.<br>
<b>CarnbY:</b> and, what car do u have? is that black jeep yours?<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> ref. Webcam!<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> type that!<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> No black jeep here, although I have been IN the black jeep quite often on the weekends.  :)<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> I take it you live somewhere close to us.<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> he he he eh eh he he eh<br>
<b>CarnbY:</b> (ref. Webcam)<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> "live near us!"<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> hew he he<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> oooohhh.<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> I see.<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Smash311 is up next.<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> hello<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> eg skulle skrive hope Pat gets better soon!  Thanx Ted! også, men det var for seint :-(<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> yea<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> CarnbY #Tech_Support :Cannot send to channel<br>
<b>Smash311:</b> why are my videos always skipping ,and whats the deal with old saved games<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> it sux...<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> "live near us....""<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> he he<br>
<b>private from CLAYMAN:</b> hey<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> heh he :-)<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> skal du stille flere spørsmål ???<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> send "?"<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Videos skip because you either do not have a 2x speed cdrom (at least) or do not have your CD-ROM read-ahead cache set high enough.<br>
<b>Smash311:</b> sometimes it skips so bad it wont run<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Or, you could be doing something in the background to slow processor time.<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> Det er lurt; siden du sikker kommer på noe snart, men da er det for seint å stille seg i kø...<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> uhh... how is that possible?<br>
<b>Smash311:</b> i do<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> ok<br>
<b>Smash311:</b> i dont understand<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> sure thing!<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> wow.  Tell me more about your machine, and what software you are running.<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> all taken car of<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> skal du spørre om C&C2 beta testing?<br>
<b>Smash311:</b> well its a clone<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Shouldn't be a problem. Is this one of our games that skips when playing video?<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> har du skrivet din stil?<br>
<b>Smash311:</b> i usually run it on windows95<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> nope<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Okay.   What software is doing this?<br>
<b>Smash311:</b> im being harrased by xplode<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> ikkje eg heller... men eg har god unnskyldning :-)<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> se the squelch button.<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> jeg er syk, slik som Pat<br>
<b>Smash311:</b> all my c&c games<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> he he<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> som Pat....<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> DU ER SYK<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> om han får fri fra jobb, får eg fri fra stilskriving :-)<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> HAN FÅR BETALT OGSÅ<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> det er vel bare rettferdig?<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> HAN ER SIKKER PÅ HAVAII<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> -)<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> I see.   Red Alert and DOS C&C use completely different methods of displaying video.   Does other software do this as well?<br>
<b>Smash311:</b> it wont do this on enyother games<br>
<b>Smash311:</b> no<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> ja :-)<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Hmm.  How much memory do you have?<br>
<b>Smash311:</b> 16<br>
<b>Smash311:</b> megs<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Sounds like it should be enough. I would suggest trying to load Red Alert in Windows and make sure that you have nothing else running in the background.<br>
<b>Smash311:</b> it is<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> You should send your system statistics to support@westwood.com.   Tell them you have already increased the CD-ROM cache.<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> There's not much I can do here for you.<br>
<b>Smash311:</b> and what about old saved games<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Should be working perfectly.   The fact that it doesn't work in DOS or Windows95 doesn't make sense.<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Guldi is up next.<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> When will "Red Alert: Counterstrike" be released?<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> ahhh... endelig et "non-tech " spørsmål...<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> I expect you'll see it on the shelves in March.  Mid-march to be precise.<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> Why do you want to start an own ladder although there already is an excellent one with more than 5000 players - why don't you support Cas<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> Case, I mean<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Because our tracking is automatic and exact.  There is no need to report scores, and no chance of cheating.<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> aha<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> Is a new - more comfortable version of WChat planned? I think of e.g. pushing the up-arrow to get a history (like DosKey) or private windo<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Updates to the ladder and ranking will be generated soon after the game is finished.<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> I'm gonna win that WS competition! even if it means quitting school :-)<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> Macros ?<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> like alt +F1 ?<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> cool<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Private windows are planned.  The next release will have buddy-lists, invite, page, etc.<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> I'd like that<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> fine when will it be released?<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> cool<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> will it contain macros?<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> er du der?<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> great.   We had better move on...<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> the next version will not contain macros, and I'm not sure we will put them in.<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> H ehe<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> say when, please<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> det var det eg som sa til hab!<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Too many people could abuse such a feature (channel scrolling, etc.)<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> Det med makroene!<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> when will we have it?<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> We had planned to start beta testing the new WCHAT next week, but the server needs to be finished.<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> the next version, I mean<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> macros?<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> We expect to have that finished as well next week.<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> ok<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> yes, the server is very slow sometimes (like now)+<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Next week, hopefully, but late next week.   We'll see.   That is, if nothing pops up.<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> GREAT!<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> And will the server become faster?<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Yes!   We have a lot of people on. The new server will help with this quite a bit.<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> especially if the ladder games take playce here?<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> We had received the wrong equipment a few weeks ago, and that really delayed things.<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> You know, about 1000 ladder games a day?<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> yes.  faster.<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> svært så stille du er...<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> Josh & Beth<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> I hope so, thx a lot<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> excuses...<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> fine<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Ladder games for C&C AND Red Alert.<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> Det er ikkje TEd's unger<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> bye<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Monopoly too,<br>
<b>Guldi:</b> that will kill case, I think<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Sure.<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> Har det gått en time alt ?? ?<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> aha<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> KOmmer det til å slutte nå ??<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> hvem sine?<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Jaxman is up next.<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> etter 4-5 spørsmål ?<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> wow!<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> fast!<br>
<b>Jaxman:</b> In my game in DOS when I destroy a Tesla Coil, the game crashes. Why does this happen, will the patch fix it and when's it going to be available.<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> håper ikkje det...<br>
<b>private from CarnbY:</b> Ted jobber sikkert gjerne overtid :-)<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> I have NEVER heard of this happening, although I don't doubt it's happening to you.<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> Have you heard of other people experiencing similar trouble?<br>
<b>Jaxman:</b> When's the patch going to be released?<br>
<b>Jaxman:</b> yes<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> I expect it to be release in about 4 more weeks.<br>
<b>Ted-WS:</b> We are making sure that anything/everything is fixed the first time around.<br>
<b>&lt;private&gt;</b> tror du at det noen gang kommer "irc.westwood.no" & "irc.westwood.uk" & "irc.westwood.net" etc...<br>
