[00:41:01] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">Elizabeth</font>&gt; its 75F here<BR>
[00:41:07] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">Elizabeth</font>&gt; with a little breeze<BR>
[00:41:09] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">Elizabeth</font>&gt; so nice<BR>

[06:52:35] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">servus</font>&gt; http://www.ttlg.com/articles/wsint2.asp They're really pounding on Warren Spector about the constant hard drive access during U7, but... well... Haven't these people heard of smartdrv?<BR>

[10:56:51] &lt;<font color="#B0B0B0">Colourless</font>&gt; only so much you can do with a limit of 2mb of memory, which was lots for the time the game came out... so as developer you need to implement a very inteligent caching system, which is what they did... <BR>
[16:37:11] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">Zerothis</font>&gt; is it possible to have multiple data files for the purpose of say, having a map of a city in a separate data file and a map of that same city after a battle in a third file? <BR>
[20:16:55] &lt;<font color="#800080">wjp</font>&gt; Zerothis: you mean replacing a part of the world entirely?<BR>
[22:35:55] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">Zerothis</font>&gt; wjp: Yes. For instance I want to have a city turned to ruins, thus replace a section of the world. There are some sloppy ways of doing this. I was wondering if it would be less sloppy if each version the city was in an external data file.<BR>
[22:37:25] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">Zerothis</font>&gt; teleporting to a different version of the city on the same map seems easier, but leads to funky sextant readings<BR>
