We have no idea what the gender is yet - at this point, the baby still doesn't have developed genitals yet.

...If they have, they'd better read it again fast - because there's a bit of a 'contest' with regards to it now. Very Happy

...If not - you'd better start looking. The first one to follow the instructions found on it will get... a shrubbery!

(Just kidding - but I will snail-mail them a small prize.) ::happy::

**(One more thing - Please don't post the URL on here! I want it to be a reward for those who find it, even if they're not the first and get the prize. Thanks for your support!)]]> http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060810-145003 trickfred Thu, 10 Aug 2006 21:50:03 GMT http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060730-094100 Some people (mostly relatives) have mentioned that they don't get my new site, don't know what a Darwinian is, and wonder why I don't just talk about my family, complain about the weather and my job, or post pictures of my cat.

The thing is, I got bored with my old site - it became a chore to update, rather than the fun thing it was when I first set it up, and frankly, I'm really too much of a boring introvert to even have a web site anyways. So I don't talk about personal stuff much here. I set up this new URL basically as just a place to dump stuff so other people can download it, but I can't see how it wouldn't hurt to add some news for the non-gamers that stumble upon the site (all 3 of them).

Me and the missus are expecting a second bambino some time in the spring. Hormones are high, and mood swings are frequent - much more so than the first time around - which leads us to believe that we'll be graced with the presence of a little X-only chromosome carrier this time around. Cupboards are stocked with both sugar and spice, and the 'Everything Nice(TM)' catalogue should be on its way to us in the mail as we speak.

I'm currently working a highly boring, yet paycheque-providing job with a total commute time of twenty seconds (both there, there and back) - night watch for my apartment complex. My allowance just wasn't cutting it, and both a wee bairn and a Wii bairn are expected in the coming months ahead (there I go with 'teh gamer talk of DOOM' again!).

Um... The boy's hair is blue (his idea), and he really digs 'Cars'. Disney can chalk up another child in their evil clutches...

The missus now works for a very large US-owned company (not Wal-Mart, but one of the other top 5 I believe), as her Canadian-owned company recently sold out... er, I mean, was sold, and her chances of going to Cuba on a work trip have been severely curtailed because of it. But she might get to go Arkansas soon. Soo-ey!

*head scratch*

...Not sure if I can think of anything else of interest to mention. Not sure if I need to, both readers that haven't clicked off to a new site have probably developed instant narcolepsy reading my bland pap. Anyways, in the interest of having relatives not call my house so often (they're already totally great about only visiting every few years or so, just need to work on getting them not to show up when they need money), I'll endeavour to put up more stuff of interest.

It's version 0.99, which basically means I'm sure I've worked out all the major kinks, but I may have overlooked one or two minor ones. If you see anything, let me know.]]> http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060629-154728 trickfred Thu, 29 Jun 2006 22:47:28 GMT http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060622-012158
There's a few shapes I'm not happy with (I am by no means a professional 3D modeller, not even an amateur modeller!), and if I get the ending done fast enough, I may try to replace them. If not, they might get replaced if the mod ever needs an update (LOL - 'If', he says).]]> http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060622-012158 trickfred Thu, 22 Jun 2006 08:21:58 GMT http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060519-135415
Sorry folks, still Windows only.

Edit: 1.02's up. Minor changes.

Edit: 1.03's up. Minor changes again, one inspired by the new north American Darwinia boxed release, and two things that annoyed me.

Edit: 1.04's up. I added 'redshirt2' decryption, to save me having to have a second program open just for that purpose.

Edit: 1.05's up. Some tweaking, and another profile creation button.

Edit: 1.06's up. Basically just some bug fixes for the recently added features. I imagine THIS version should be good, hopefully, until the next Darwinia patch that adds to/changes preferences.txt.]]> http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060519-135415 trickfred Fri, 19 May 2006 20:54:15 GMT http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060503-091515
I also removed the warning about Realtime FX - I played through it with them on, and the mod seems fine - I still don't trust Hardware3D though, it's plainly buggy.

I'm still hoping to get Part 3 out by the 9th (of this month, yeah), though if my job interview goes well tomorrow, that may yet be pushed back again.]]> http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060503-091515 trickfred Wed, 03 May 2006 16:15:15 GMT http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060419-095614
(Please let there be nothing wrong with the last version of Part 2!)

Edit: It seems some users are experiencing intermittent crashes with Memorycache in Part 1 - if that's the case, and it's crashing on you, can you change the Triffids (in the Mod Editor) so they don't produce Centipedes, and let me know if that fixes the problem? If so, then it's a bug with the game, and not my mod. Thanks! :D]]> http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060417-190009 trickfred Tue, 18 Apr 2006 02:00:09 GMT http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060401-083921

Part Two though, I reworked a lot of the scripts, and fixed it so you can now leave any level partway through and go back to it. At least, in theory. Plus, I think I fixed a few possible problems where some levels may not open up on the map properly if people blew through text too fast in certain places.

Oh, and filefront seems to be acting wonky, so for the next while, this site and the second mirror listed have the newest versions, but filefront doesn't.

Now, I go in search of a tylenol the size of my fist.

Edit: Part One v1.41 should be compatible with v1.4 profiles, but probably not with profiles from before that.

Part Two v1.1 won't be compatible with previous Part Two profiles, you'll have to start over if you want to update.

Comments, some comments, any comments at all, will be welcomed. :D]]> http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060328-101145 trickfred Tue, 28 Mar 2006 18:11:45 GMT http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060321-194721
Not that my mods have copious amounts of bugs, just.... er, I'll shut up now.

Thanks. :D

P.S. - ArcadeRemix contains some sound files that are not mine, so I can not give you permission to re-distribute them. Read the readme file included with that mod for more details. Everything else is fair game.

P.P.S. - None of these permissions extend to 'martin' from the Official Darwinia Forums. He can't use anything I have made in any of his mods. Ever. ;D]]> http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060321-194721 trickfred Wed, 22 Mar 2006 03:47:21 GMT http://stellarmatter.net/index.php?entry=entry060319-103637
Straight from Billy West's keyboard!

Update: Bad news, everyone.

Billy was apparently incorrect, and looks like the new series isn't really happening.
