Title: Blue Text
Post by: glacey145 on May 14, 2004, 05:52:43 PM: Anyone tell me why blue text can't be zapped. Tonight the buffer was so full of stuff from some guy with finger diarrhoea (Skuzzy) that squad communications virtually ceased - yeah, we are old and slow.

I fail to see why we should all be subjected to seeing half a conversation whether we like it or not. Unlike TV ads you can't go for a pee whilst the rubbish hits you.

Matter of fact it wouldn't matter a damn if the AH voice bug didn't zap some guys (me) out after a few minutes play. Time this bug was fixed cos it's the only game I get it in. Well, VERY occasionally it did happen in Warbirds but a quick ALT-TAB used to solve it. Maybe the bug carried over.

Post by: Skuzzy on May 14, 2004, 06:41:52 PM: Glacey, I work for HiTech Creations. We use the blue text to let people know we are there for Q&A. Most people like to know that the developers of the software will take the time to do this.

When we, at HTC, are not in blue text, it is a sign we are there to play the game, just like everyone else.

Post by: beet1e on May 15, 2004, 03:28:27 AM: Glacey! Scrmbl here. :) I've missed you since WB.

Guys, you don't know Glacey and need to understand his humour. He used to crack me up on RW with his sideways remarks about the game - while everyone else was taking it oh-so-seriously! :lol This thread is classic Glacey. IIRC, glacey, you're from Scotland living in Yorks.? Do you still fly that C206?

Thanks for this post - made my day! Good to see you again. :cool:
Title: Whats wrong with the short bus.
Post by: Fridaddy on May 15, 2004, 03:45:50 AM: My 9 year old son has to ride the short bus through no fault of his own, and prolly will FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

And you folks make jokes about it.

And for those who say "lighten up" I cannot. I live with it everyday.

Post by: beet1e on May 15, 2004, 04:07:44 AM: What's the "short bus"?
Title: Blue Text
Post by: SOB on May 15, 2004, 04:14:29 AM: That's typically the bus that the special needs kids are picked up in. Telling someone they rode the short bus to school is equivalent to calling them a 'tard.

Post by: glacey145 on May 15, 2004, 04:42:51 AM: Hi Scrmbl, nice to hear from you. I keep forgetting you're a beetle now! Nah, these days it's more likely a C.205 though I did take a Pitts up for an hour at Stewart a couple of years ago. Told the guy in the back I hadn't flown one for 24 years and he gave me complete control from getting in to getting out! Turned out he thought I'd said I'd been flying 'em FOR 24 years!

Skuzzy, I was actually asking why I couldn't turn it off not where it was coming from. Despite my great age I got the picture within 30 seconds and, far from feeling excited, I became increasingly irritated by the profusion of blue filling the buffer. Just that I should like a choice whether to 'listen' or not. I'm still none the wiser why that choice is denied 'cos I could always turn it on again if I got the urge to ask a question.
Title: Blue Text
Post by: _Schadenfreude_ on May 15, 2004, 05:18:53 AM: Is there a way to decrease the text buffer from 5 lines to zero if one doesn't want to listen to any of it?
Title: Blue Text
Post by: SOB on May 15, 2004, 05:38:56 AM: Glacey...did you try ".squelch skuzzy"?
Title: Blue Text
Post by: Flossy on May 15, 2004, 05:53:50 AM: I can't imagine why anyone would not want to see the blue text. I'm just sorry I missed it; if I'd been there I'd have probably been happy to sit in the tower for the duration so as not to become distracted and miss any information. I always marvel at the way Skuzzy (and other HTC staff) can read and answer so many questions so quickly. :cool:
Title: Blue Text
Post by: GA on May 15, 2004, 05:53:59 AM: He he, I im starting to understand you guys at HTC more and more now;). Its not easy to make a game theese days;).

SALUTE HTC and Skuzzy, looking forward to see AHII hitting full realse now in a few days time;)
Title: Blue Text
Post by: glacey145 on May 15, 2004, 06:08:26 AM: SOB, yes, several times to no avail :) and Flossy yes, if the conversation had been about more accurate differential flight modelling I'd probably have done the same thing. Just nice to have had some choice in the matter.
Title: Blue Text
Post by: Morpheus on May 15, 2004, 06:17:25 AM: why would anyone want to squelch skuzzy? lol

He's a riot when he is on line.

Sounds to me like someone needs to remember the fact this is a game;)
Title: Blue Text
Post by: Skuzzy on May 15, 2004, 07:13:06 AM: Glacey, there are times when we need to handle server resets, such as on Fridays when we do terrain rotations. If you squelched us, you would miss that information and would probably be more ticked when all of a sudden you are disconnected without knowing why.
We are nearing the switch to Aces High II and so I made myself available yesterday to answer questions about it. Yesterday's session was a rather lengthy one. Normally I am in blue a for a much shorter period of time.
