n00b in the UK

Posted: Tue Oct 26, 2004 3:33 pm

Hey all. I only got my xbox a week ago and i'm not much of a gamer. When i heard i didnt have to buy Live to enjoy online fun i jumped at the chance to.. then realised that no1 was on with my games?!

So if you are looking for no challenge or if you are a n00b yourself and have either Rainbow Six 3 or Midtown Madness 3 (more games soon) then post here.

If you hate it or love it, Halo 2 is going to see an absolute flood of games on Kai , Live and XBC.

With Halo 2's "party" mode, you'll find Kai's arena structure to be far superior and the closest thing to Live. (XBConnect use a "join my server" structure, where you are required to jump back and forth between games on your PC)..

totally agree with you, halo 2 will swamp! i pre-orded it ages back and i can't wait for its arrival.

I installed XBC as a lot seem to choose it over xLink... and all i want to kno is y? its sructure and interface is.. well pants.

xLink all the way Smile

Edit: I actually pre-ordered halo about a month before getting my xbox.. sounds strange but it was on the cheap... and legal.

You shouldn't find it hard getting games on RS3 Black Arrow. Since Black Arrow came out, everyone moved from Rainbow Six 3 to that. All or most of the Black Arrow players do have Rainbow Six 3 so you may catch them if they decide to play the old maps for a change.

Best bet is check which rooms are active the most and check if that game is for you. Thats the best way to select a game to purchase that has a high chance of being played on Kai.

Maybe sign up on some of the clan forums and see what games they have scheduled. The Misfits clan like to play alot of different games.

regarding http://www.misfits-clan.com/ i want to ask you a few questions about the coiding of it.

Is it php (as the blog at the bottom is) because ti would look so much better if you called the blog to the page with an include script rather than a frame. Here like this:

Code:

The table will stop the blog from flowing over the sides of the page and will give you an easy way to position it. Height 100% means that whatever is in the blog fills it, and since you are calling it by include, there are no scollbars as it just loads into the page.

That's if your server hosting supports PHP Wink

For cross-browser compatibility, keep all parameters between quotation marks ie <table width="400" height="300">.

Alternatively, you could invest your time in in-line frames (iframe's). Our TX website uses them, and they can work out to be quite nice (beat's old fashioned framset usage - couldn't stand that crap..)

Edit: Just had a look and he is using both PHP and iframes haha. I should look before talking. In that case, just change the fixed pixel width of "650" to a percentage instead.

don't you mean height?

also, if you add scrollbars="no" or is it scolling="no" ? o well add 1 of them in the <iframe > tags and that will get rid of the scrollbars apearing at all i think.

Can you confirm that dfunked.

scrolling="auto" works best. If they're not needed, they don't show Smile
