Win 10 or not to Win 10, that is the question.So Win 10 is going to be free.
I suppose I might end up with Windows 10 eventually but I'm terribly bitter about the callous murder of my beloved GDI. If I can't make Windows look like Windows any more maybe I'll finally make good on my threat and move to Linux.
No rush though, I ... -

Sounds me to me like you're just causing trouble and unrest. There are numerous posts on WoS forums where people have asked to help and Lee has said yes but you must have CodeIgniter experience and then it all goes quiet.All you're doing is persuading Lee ... -

Having looked at the "limitations" I conclude that it's virtually no loss at all. Pretty much all stuff I don't touch or use anyway. -

Managed to finish Bioshock Infinite. It was OK. Nice storyline, though I was starting to get just a tad bored of the gameplay by the end - you seem to see the same enemies a lot. I played it on normal difficulty as I'm not really a FPS person, and apart ... -

Hey Timmy, you script is much better. I think everyone should use it instead of mine. I replaced the script in my link with yours if you don't mind, so it's easier for everyone to find. -

No, it's not possible to do something like that using a control file. (If you were just using a skool file, you could of course edit it however you like.)
