Title: search for missing toadlife
Post by: Zombie on 07 Mar 2005, 22:59:10

wasn't sure where else to post this, but since he has released some pretty advanced scripts, here is as good as any.  I am having difficulty with his real_halo.sqs and no one here has been able to provide a solution so I thought I would contact him directly, anyone know if toadlife is still around?  His scripts are great, look for them in the editors depot

Haven't heard much from him for a quite a while, since his bairn was born.    No harm in sending him an IM though.

And the flag in Un-Impossible

Aye, that I am.

I've slightly changed the flag at the end of Un-Impossible thanks to the translations.   If you're playing in Spanish you now get a Spanish flag.  Similarly French, German and Italian.   Everybody else still gets the saltire though.

so gubes, was it yourself who coined the term 'loons'?

or does this refer to the AI's lack of sanity?

It was indeed me who started calling them loons.   It's an old Scots word, meaning a young man, particularly one who is acting in wild, lunatic or stupid manner.    It isn't derogatory..... except in the context of OFP AI units.   ;D   I think it is the best word for them because the pun in English on loony.

I am really taken with the word loon.  It avoids the melodramatic as well as the impersonal.  It is also short and easy to type!
