General Chat / Server List, Sigs, Random Map Generator & More
« on: Monday, June 25, 2012, 16:26:52 PM »
This is a compilation of extra sites I've created for AA. These are for anybody to use. If you have suggestions on how to improve them, let me know.

http://s.aao25.com/ - Live Server List. Great for mobile devices. Click on a map image to see full size 720p map image on highest settings.

http://rand.aao25.com/ - Thursday Night Fights Map Randomizer. Will randomly select 4 maps with an option to put in 4 maps that were previously played.

http://sigs.aao25.com/ - Server Signatures. This project is unfinished, I think it only has mAAp images. Info works for all servers. I'll probably work on this soon.


More projects to be coming soon as I burn up free time with PHP.

I had a 4800 series (i think?) a few years ago. It would tear across the screen on some (not all) games. It got super annoying. Maybe I had a bad card but it pissed me off.

4800's were made 4 years ago. It would be silly to base your hate for AMD on something so old in computer terms.

I agree with Koden. All manufacturers have bad products sometimes. Should we hate on Nvidia for the 4xx series being power hungry or for failing so hard with PhysX? AMD and Nvidia compete with each other, they have different release cycles and varying performance in cards. They both screw up and they've both been in first place in terms of raw power.

My case lights up. Sup?
Must make it go faster eh? lol at the "sup".

^^ Killa knows. Plus, if AMD's Radeon was so shitty, they wouldn't sell any and thus wouldn't keep the product on the market. Fact is, it competes with Nvidia just fine. Both manufacturers have budget cards and both sell chips to various manufacturers. If you've had problems with crappy quality cards, I suggest you spend a little more and go for a quality brand like Sapphire or Gigabyte for AMD.

I don't get it lol.

Scenarios:
- Both teams survive with no ammo left and no casualties. This could happen on any map. Only difference is there's no OBJ on Shipment.
- One team dies, other lives. Team living wins.

I don't know where the problem is.

that does not have a shitty radeon card.

This guy obviously knows a lot about computers. Probably makes uber 1337 builds with the cheapest case he can find, blue/red LED's everywhere and an OMG PWNZOR Fatal1ty X-Fi sound card.

I like the idea but then there should be fewer background sound killing my ears. Thats the only reason I dont play the map.
Upgrade your sound equipment then. It's fine to me, balanced with weapon noises.

But on most maps, when defense survive to round end they winning.
Are you saying that on Shipment when Assault dies, the round doesn't end?

Don't get a kit, those have shitty motherboards and power supplies in them.

I would also ignore reddit, useless faggotry going on there.

In a nutshell; Gigabyte AM3+ 8+2 power phase (look it up in the specs, very important) motherboard, Quad or 6-core AM3 or AM3+ chip, 8GB (2 sticks of 4GB, I like G.Skill but Corsair is good too) 1866MHz or higher memory, Corsair PSU (5 or 7 year warranty ones like the TX650, TX750, AX850), Crucial M4 or Samsung 830 SSD, Whatever GPU and case suits your fancy (I'm currently eyeballing the NZXT Source 210).

Not for this game, for my system. Movies, Music, Gaming. I play mostly WoW.

Exactly. Why have an EAX X-Fi system when movies and music don't use it and only some old games do use it. Better to have a hi-fi external system.

One thing I forgot to mention is power. PC power is very dirty and noisy. It's great because it's super efficient and powers high end graphics cards but for audio equipment, computer power supplies are horrible. Best setup is an external USB device. USB will be around forever and you can get devices that supply their own power so USB is purely for communication.

Here is one:

sk8rboi

Playing on hospital with him, he picks sniper assault and rushes through parking.  Watched him do this about 6 times.  He uses pistol when he gets there, and shoots faster with pistol than ar shoots.  Watched him kill four people at once on two separate rounds.  Def was there with 2 sf, ar, rpk and he killed them all with the pistol.  Twice.

Oh yeah, he is a 10 honor who just started today.  His account number is 818470

$200 for both a DAC & headphones? That's really tough. I might suggest this: http://www.nuforce.com/hp/products/iconudac2/index.php and whatever Sennheisers you can afford with the $$ you have left.

I used to have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770's and they're fantastic for gaming and movies. Their shortcoming is they can get real sibilant in the highs and once you notice that, you hate them. I've heard nothing but good things about Sennheisers, the lower end ones are loved by gamers and the higher end ones are loved by audiophiles for being more neutral and accurate.

Check out Head-Fi's Computer Audio forum:

There's always someone posting about "what xx for my budget??".

I have been wanting to ask you why this is. I mean, x-fi's are still respectable sound cards, why would they bottleneck the AD700's? What kind of hardware do you suggest to take full advantage of the headphones?
X-Fi was strictly popular for sound processing for gamers. In the higher-end audio world, you don't want to mess with or process audio during playback. Smallest circuit and less handling as possible so your equipment reproduces the sound as accurate as possible. Sure, processing is a good thing but only for an engineer who is composing and mixing the audio in a studio with the proper equipment and training. Back to X-Fi, games don't use it anymore. The hardware processing on it is old and it's gone the way of PhysX. There's plenty of threads on the Creative forums where people wonder what the point of X-Fi is because Creative isn't really doing anything to ensure it's future or merge over to OpenAL.

So, the hardware processing is worthless on your X-Fi, that leaves an audio circuit that's mediocre at best. It's something comparable to modern motherboard audio, unless again, you have an Auzentech model which is made with better components. The only way I would use one that's made by Creative is to use SPDIF output. The analog output is passed through crappy OPAMPs and low-end capacitors. Also to think about is the DAC chip which is not high-end by any means. DAC technology changes very fast, chips made in the 90's that were implemented in units costing several thousand dollars are beat by units today that cost maybe $200. The DAC chip in the X-Fi is nothing special.

real hardware, with OPAMPS(correct lol?) ;D
Spanky is the sound man, so he will explain it correctly.
X-Fi has OPAMPS, they generally suck though unless you go for one of the Auzentech models but by the time you spend that much money, it would be better to get an external solution that's not X-Fi.


I really ran out of steam to finish this post the way I wanted. Here's a few outside links that might give you some more knowledge:
