Legacy:Winxprules
Short Introduction[edit]
Hi all, I'm Winxprules. My actual name is Matthew. Thanks to you great guys who've helped expand the Wiki I've learnt enough to map an entire clone of my college. I don't think the teachers will be happy, but my friends now look at me with awe - they think it's great to be able to frag each other in a Maths room.
PC Specs[edit]
I've got two computers, each miles apart in terms of speed and power.
PC #1. My main PC. Used for Unreal Tournament 2003 editing.
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 2.2Ghz
Memory: 256MB (Yes, pitiful)
OS: Windows XP Home Edition and Windows Server 2003
Graphics Card: 128MB DDR-RAM nVidia geForce FX 5200
Hard Drive: 80GB 7200RPM, split into three partitions - 40GB, 20GB and 20GB
Monitor: 17" CRT
Average boot-up time: ~30 seconds
PC #2. A laptop that is SLOW. I've no idea why I tolerate it :)
Processor: 133MHz Pentium
Memory: 32MB (did I say 256MB was pitiful? I revise my decision)
OS: Windows 98... with some home-made hacks to make it look like Windows 2000...
Graphics Card: One built into the MoBo... about 4MB of memory
Hard Drive: 1.3GB
Monitor: 14" LCD
Average boot-up time: Never managed to count... I fall asleep waiting for it to load :D
My UnrealEd Skills[edit]
So, how good am I at UnrealEd? OK-ish. I've made a short list of my mapping abilities.
- Textures: 4/10
- Map Layout: 7/10
- Sound and Music Composition: 1/10
I just can't compose music. The best I've done is create a one-track MIDI that uses a piano sound... and it didn't last longer than seven seconds :)
What else?[edit]
Well, my interests are:
- Unreal Tournament 2003 mapping.
- Windows XP, mostly because it is stable.
- Programming with XHTML, CSS and PHP/MySQL.
I also enjoy experimenting with virtual PCs - I can totally wreck Windows and Linux without worrying about anything - even to the point of highlight /WINDOWS/System32/ and pressing the Del key...
I'd also like to say that this Wiki business is really great - the fact that anyone can add their own content makes it worth visiting the Unreal Wiki each day to find out new tips and tricks :)
That's about it[edit]
Yeah... that's just about it. Nothing else for me to say really.
If you want some tips on where to go next... I suggest you get back to UnrealEd'ing :)
Tarquin: Hello! Welcome to the site :)
WinxpRules: Thanks Tarquin :)
WinxpRules: I've added a bit more information about my UnrealEd skills... to summarise, totally rubbish ;)
WinxpRules: Well, a load of stuff has been re-arranged. Nothing much else to see... unless you're interested in the specifications of my PCs...
