Stick arena 3d!

[exorcist]

No this is not a lie. I need help. Pm me if you have over 150 gb memory and macromedia flash 8. And being rank 6-9 helps.

[Woolfenstien]

150GB of hardrive space?
What the #### for?

[denacioust]

How about telling us a reason for this. And 150 gb?

[exorcist]

I need somewhere else to store most of the info, my pc is full. when complted, i will give whoever helped me a small link to downlaod he test version before launching it on xgen. the test version when done will range from 950 gb to 1 tb

[denacioust]

And you think that someones gonna wait to download a terabyte of a game?

[ToothMachine]

And you think that someones gonna wait to download a terabyte of a game?

Especially considering a lot of people still have 56k.

[Matt]

I wouldnt jsu give away 150gb of hardrive. Thats one ####ing alot of harddrive. Just for one game.

[denacioust]

Especially considering a lot of people still have 56k.


I'm still on a 28.8!

What kinda game is a terabyte in size? Seriously?

[Ice Punk]

one that's played on a consol, has an ever growing world, as probably has state of the art graphics. this game will be on 71 dual sided discs and the consol will be the 17 generation of xbox as bill gates's grandson will rule the world.

Reporter: So, Bill, how do you feel about your monopoly?
Gates: monopoly's just a game, i'm trying to control the ******* world.

[drewt781]

lol. I think he might want someone with a server willing to host the game. I doubt he truly expects someone to just *hand out* that much PC space. I mean, I dont even think that alienware computers have 1/4 that memory...

[denacioust]

I have over double that space, but just handing over 150Gb of space is just out of the question.

[StickDemonSlayer]

Why would the game be 150gb in size anyway? Thats just rediculus!

[exorcist]

You have ever played a game that is precise on everything and is 3d? i am making this real fighting but with stickemn

[denacioust]

Yeah, but 150 GB. Is Half-Life2 even near that?

[Woolfenstien]

You have ever played a game that is precise on everything and is 3d? i am making this real fighting but with stickemnYes.
It's called DOOM.
And it took up Megabytes, not terabytes.

[drewt781]

And seriously...how many DECADES have you been working on this for it to be 150 gigs?

[Lui]

Seriously, thats the biggest size game I've ever seen, some great games only take about 2gbs of space, your's must be full of trash since it would take almost that much.

If your looking for such space, I would suggest you buy yourself another server for your computer, except that would cost too much because its 150gb, but what the hell.

[Matt]

Guild wars is only 5gb's...

[Grunteh]

I'm still on a 28.8!

What kinda game is a terabyte in size? Seriously?
About 1000 GB.

[Lui]

Lol, Grunty your Title is messed up "<3 Desp" lol XD[/offtopic]

Yeh, wierd size format for this game, really.

[noobpwner1]

And you think that someones gonna wait to download a terabyte of a game?ROFL... I laughed at that because it's so true. A terabyte... Haahaha

About 1000 GB.Trust me, he knows what a terabyte is. He was asking what kind of game would be that big. /duh

[G3k0]

A TB.... Are you ****ing insane?! He should trampled and burned just for saying that.

Apologies...

[StickDemonSlayer]

The truth is thats its not going to be 150GB! CASE CLOSED!

[jason]

Well, even if it IS one terabyte the biggest commercial drive is 500GB. I only have 500GB of HD space. (Though hoping to get to one Terabyte using two Drives.)
But, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to have this game run. Since you cannot install a game over two Hard Drives.

You probably have an extremely horrible engine. I mean, the biggest game I have on my computer is nearing 6 GB, and that game came out only a couple months ago.
A DVD can't even hold that much Data.

[Soon to be flash master]

Someone block this thread!

this is ridiculous!

[The Brown Cow]

What're you doing? Prerendering every possible frame?

[Hex]

Seriously...

Look, the servers for giant mmorpg's are smaller than that...

A game that is one terabyte.... yeeeaaaaah... um.... how about no.

[XGEN-CRaZeD]

So,it will be the exact same thing as SA but the characters are in 3D?AMAZINGZORZ!

[Soon to be flash master]

yeah and impossible to get a .swf to be a terabyte in my opinion

[arkhan]

lol..wait until 2021..and you may have some people who have 1tb to install the game and the RAM needed to load it all without spending more than 2 hours on loading screens..
seriouslly...if you think bigger= better, wrong..you must try to balance..
if you get it to a most 4gb people may consider it..

[mbm_670]

i have 1 gig of music on my computer, theres no way a FLASH game would take that much. if an xbox 360 on needs 8 gb or so, how would you get a 1 tb game made? thatd take several years! i only have a 40 gb HDD and its half full already, and i reinstalled windows 2 months ago...

[StickDemonSlayer]

actuly itd take 30 years. Think of those awsome games out there..... It took a long time but never even got CLOSE to a TB!

[eatmorchikin6464]

Sorry to butt in with all you guys talking about this, but I have a feeling that a game can be that big. Remember, this is like...the .fla version of the game, with libraries stocked with stuff and all the code saved and such. Then, when you make Flash a .swf the size drops loads. Just because that game is 150 GB now, doesn't mean it will be that much when it is compressed into playable form.

[sgtkilla]

Well the ones that are like that aren't even that much! Most, like SWG, WW2OL, Everquest2, etc, are like 2GB! A Terabyte for a flash game? That's pretty big.

[casebobjimmer]

Actually you can buy 1 terabyte hard drives from alienware.com.

[platinumj11]

I think he means 950 megabytes to 1 gigabyte. It sounds more reasonable to me.

It must take a few hours, if not days, to compile it into a SWF though.

[DarkReality]

Let's just go through this theoretically: I give you 150 GB and as a reward, I get a small link to a demo version of a game that's already on my server, which I have unlimited access to? I think I'm missing the novelty of the deal.

And then there would be the problem of people playing a game. Don't forget, each time you visit something new on the internet, it's downloaded into your temporary cache (otherwise flash games wouldn't have loading screens). Assuming that for whatever odd reason the game isn't downloaded into your cache and only a tenth of it is, that's still 15 gb people have to keep on their PC. And what about server capacity? A game that big is bound to get some fame. And if you submitted it to newgrounds and it got... say 100k hits, that's a lot of load on a server, meaning you either own your own or you have a load of money you're going to blow on bandwidth.

I say you start making the game first and if you need more space, burn some things on DVDs.

[Woolfenstien]

Actually you can buy 1 terabyte hard drives from alienware.com.If you mean in the computer, you're sorely mistaken.
Knowing thier cheapness, it's 10 100GB drives RAIDed up.

[eatmorchikin6464]

I don't think this is a Flash game, however.

[Soon to be flash master]

how about making a side scroller first up?

[Lamborgh1n1]

lol. I don't even think that alienware computers have 1/4 that memory...

Not true at all. I'm a programer so its my job to know these things, and they can get up to like 600mb of memory. The Aurora ALX can do even more I belive. However Alienware and Voodoo, along with anyother high end gaming rig, is a rip-off. You spend alot for the name and building. Besides a Mac g5 would pawn a Omen or ALX anyday...

There are games that aren't downloaded into your internet cache, aren't there? Like World of Warcraft or Maple Story? Or am I wrong?

[Lamborgh1n1]

right a few dont even deal with the internet cache even if the network is being used. NOLF was a good example.

[Lui]

No it doesn't mess with your internet cache.

[Hex]

Yeah, its not downloaded into your cache....

Instead, with something like WoW, you get 3 gigs of files to install on your computer! Yay!

I hope you misspelled the 600mb part. I took a guess too. You don't have to blatantly just say "not true at all" and have some facts wrong. Also, by programmer, do you mean you work as one?

Btw, look at this.

800Gb of space on his comp? O_O, now thats just plain wierd.

[MOOGLEFIGHTER]

That is nearly impossible, either that, or I have never heard a game of such magnitude. What game takes up 1 tb? That sounds more of a waste of time then entertainment to be, using up your computer to download as tb? TB!? (Sorry If I sounded a little noobish there. Hehehe.)
Well, it just sounds a little disturbing that someone can come up with something like that. I mean... A TB!!!

There is no motherboard that can hold that much RAM I believe.

If he does hav 800 gigs of RAM, his RAM slots probably would've died by now >_>

[theryman]

Hey, I got 800 gigs of ram!
Wow, that 3125 times more than what I really have.

Anyways, WaT tEh Fo0k?!?! -.^

[AeroZ]

ok
just show us a screenshot

[b.i.g.]

He is not posting anymore so it is either a joke or some idiot who doesnt know what gb or tb is

[jason]

800Gb of space on his comp? O_O, now thats just plain wierd.

I know a couple people with over 2TB of Space on there PC. he has about 1.7TB of it full.
Though, he DOES work for IBM and has a lot of important files on it.. And a lot of movies.

[b.i.g.]

super or semi-super computer?

[AssaultRifle]

I'll download it! [/not]

[b.i.g.]

Probably a million dummy files

[Lui]

Yes, but none of us would have over 1TB of storage FREE on our computer and no one would even bother to hold that much, I suggest exorcist should compress it.

[b.i.g.]

that wouldnt work because it would be extremeley low quality OR
If he uses winrar it will compress 2 gb
so:998gb+1tb extracted swf

[Lui]

Well, who would expect to play a game that you have to download 1TB+ for?

[b.i.g.]

maybe if he hijacked some hundred servers from google and find a way to disable cache
but still it would take at least weeks or months to load

[Lui]

Exactly, so this game would make no future unless he makes the file size smaller.

[MOOGLEFIGHTER]

That's crazy.

[albigafatony]

how did he managed to write about 1tb worth of script? maybe he just copied and pasted the script several thousand times

[exorcist]

that was the movement scrpit i c&p'd

damn my new keyboards

[The Brown Cow]

1tb of movement script?

Sure. That would have to the the least efficient code ever written.

[Steven]

Once I wrote 1500 lines of code. For this game when I hardly knew much code so I had to do every possibility. It only took up 25kb and the .fla file took up 1mb.

[bendeta2349]

yo, can u host it sum were, so we all can have a slice of the action, plz

[Tanktunker]

Not true at all. I'm a programer so its my job to know these things
If you're a programmer, then your job is to program things, not know how much disk space any given computer has.

, and they can get up to like 600mb of memory.
So you're saying that the ceiling amount of RAM in any computer has to be 600MB?
Cause that means you're either don't know what you're talking about or, well...don't know what you're talking about.

[exorcist]

almost done! 9/11's done jut need to perfect caera movement and get the hammer'sforcerange just right.

[Tanktunker]

You mean you built a 1TB game in a couple of days?

[denacioust]

Thats gotta be impossible considering X-Gen takes like a decade to make a 2-3 Mb game.

[albigafatony]

i figured it all out! obviously his typing speed is 1000000wpm and he has to get loads of new keyboards because after a load of script the keyboard explodes from the speed of everything. He has also programmed the whole of earth in the game. Either that or he has just made a game so completely detailed that it looks like ur controlling a normal human.

[exorcist]

no i just use 2 keyboards at once. and i am having a new lobby and mroe trouble transferring all the damn accounts when a new account is being made every day!

[Tanktunker]

no i just use 2 keyboards at once. and i am having a new lobby and mroe trouble transferring all the damn accounts when a new account is being made every day!
If you use 2 keyboards at once, that means typing is instinctive with you, which I very much doubt.
Also, to the rest of your post, wha?

[b.i.g.]

this is probably a lie

[denacioust]

THere is no way you can use two keyboards at once, and even if you can, why?

Stop taking the piss, no-one believes you.

[Uncle Sam Eagle]

Screenshots please.

[Honeycomb]

Lol no kidding. This is not going to be succesfull I can see unless you give out a demo or a couple of good screenshots.

And isent a terabyte like ALOT of space? I saw a ad that said "Buy a microsoft sever that comes with 1 terabyte" or something like that.

[arkhan]

it surelly is possible to take up 1 TB of space in 2 days..but not by typing it..
if you have a top line comp, and it spends 2 days anti-aliassing and rendering a 20 min movie..you may have a TB movie..
not that it is a good idea tho..

[Tanktunker]

THere is no way you can use two keyboards at once, and even if you can, why?

Stop taking the piss, no-one believes you.
You can, but that means he's been typing for several decades and it's instinctive with him.
But he says he's 11, so that makes it hard for him to be typing for several decades.

[denacioust]

It also makes it pretty impossible for him to code a 3d game in Flash in a few weeks. He sorta reminds me of the guy in Irrelevance who thinks hes designed a perpetual motion machine.

[albigafatony]

i think he would need alot more arms and keyboards to manage to type up that much script in like a week

[b.i.g.]

[Bodadem]

I just made a 7TB game. Just now. Took me like 40 seconds. It's 5D. Anyone wanna play? Too bad. I'm having server troubles. Sorry, guys.

[b.i.g.]

awwww.You should have made it offline

[Tanktunker]

Wow, you mean it's a x, y and z axis, time warping, multiple universe extending game?
Cool.
Too bad you're having server trouble, because I so beleive you made it so you can continue posting about it.

No I'm denacioust, and I've been so since I joined. Except when I was pinky like for a week.

Where?

[Woolfenstien]

1tb of movement script?

Sure. That would have to the the least efficient code ever written.Aggreed.
It's also basicly impossible to have 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes (9,007,199,254,740,992 bits) happily devoting themselves to being a movement script.

Let's say an avarage movement code is 1000 bytes long, even though it probably isn't. It would take around 1,125,899,906,843 presses of CTRL+V.
Imagine that running on 512MB of RAM, and you got yourself a 'press the reset button before you kill your PC' job.

Feel free to correct me if Window's calculator is wrong.

[LizardRob]

can u tell us what the game is about exorcist? maybe instead of giving you hard drive space we can help you make the memory alot smaller so it will all fit on your computer.

[arkhan]

I suposed we all agreed that it aint gonna hapend, and he isnt doing anything and all..can we let this topic fall now or are we gonna keep on the good irrelevance talk here?

and I supose you may have a very complex and useless movement system...like...moving one leg at a time, and you got to calculate every physics involved on not falling and stuff...pretty useless..
