Any Information about the computer society would be great. Is there a website ?

TomTom · 10-03-2003 2:07pm

AFAIK there is no web site but come along on a monday or wednesday and all your questions will be answered. Today we have FIFA 2003 for the PS2. New members are welcome to come along and join.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 10-03-2003 2:08pm

not afaik, mostly all they do is meet up on mondays and wednesdays in A307 (3rd floor, LRC) at 5pm -9/10pm and play computer games.

a website would be a nice idea though, and perhaps an interesting project for some of the web monkeys in compsoc?

maybe it's time we start thinking about where exactly we want compsoc to go.. are you all happy with just 2 gaming sessions a week or do you have any other ideas you'd like to share?

keep it clean, and to the point

Committee members:

Ivor - President
Ciaran - Vice President (Ivan)
Steven - Treasurer (StevenK)

Meetings are on:

Mondays - room A307 (in 3rd floor of LRC) @ 17:00 till 22:00
Wednesdays - room A307 (in 3rd floor of LRC) @ 17:00 till 22:00

Website:

Maybe. If I get my act together. If I have the time (basicly if I am confident that I know my stuff for my finals) I will set one up. Space has been OKed on the Intranet and maybe the Internet (maybe Compsoc.itCarlow.ie) but the content still has to be screened so untill I make it they can't screen the content and they can't OK it.

Games so far:

Single player and multiplayer games:

StarCraft
StarCraft Broodwars
Total Annihilation
Star Wars - Jedi Outcast
Diablo II
Diablo II - Lord of Destruction
Hidden and Dangerous
Operation Flashpoint
Cossack's
Civilisation III
Homeworld
Return to Castle Wolfenstine
Empire Earth
Ground Control
Rogue Spear
Delta Force
Age of Empires II
Aliens Vs Preditor

Single player games:

American McGee's Alice
Clive Barker's Undying
Max Payne
Delta Force (Just need to find a crack to get multi working)
Desperados (2d western single player)

Multiplayer games:

Unreal Tournament
Worms World Party
Quake I (Not in yet but only need to bother to bing in one day)
Quake II (Not in yet but only need to bother to bing in one day)
Quake III

Comming attractions:

Medal of Honor
Unreal
Aliens Vs Preditor II
Theif (with multiplayer mods)
No one lives for ever

If you want games (and u can't get them working) just ask me and I will try to fix them for the network.

Requirements for games to work are:

- Be able to work without regestry enteries on the PC.
- Be cracked so it works with out a CD (not an essencial be extreemly handy)
- Also if they are network games they have to be TCP/IP.

Playstation 2

We have one (bought by the SU [Spacedog], JP promised one last year and Ivor and Ivan reminded him in a nice way

ns 1 guys). If you want to play just bring in games. Oh, just let Ivan know so he can bring it into compsoc for you.

If you have any more questions Ivan, Stevenk or myself will answer (Dunno if Ivor, the president of the Society goes onto Boards.ie).

TomTom · 10-03-2003 2:35pm

I'll get cracking on a web site tonight.

Snowball · 10-03-2003 2:39pm

its allright tom, i wanna get it done. will do. Although there is no real need for one. I want one so I said I will do it (since it sorta falls under comunication). thanx fot the offer though Tomtom

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 10-03-2003 2:39pm

cool TomTom, but there's no rush

we can easily put this kinda thing on the back burner until next year, maybe we could do a little work over the summer and have it ready for a grand opening in september?

free cd full of material-of-questionable-legality when you sign up to compsoc!

Snowball · 10-03-2003 2:43pm

Mordeth, ur plans to get compsoc close are futile. No there is no "free cd full of material-of-questionable-legality when you sign up to compsoc" Mr Lawyer for Microsoft (or any other organisation out there).

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 10-03-2003 2:44pm

*glare*
I'll see you people rot in hell!

or maybe tonight in a307.. who knows

TomTom · 10-03-2003 2:56pm

roll on fifa 2003

Headcase · 10-03-2003 3:44pm

yeah i'll kick your ass in Fifa for ya TomTom

Jackz · 10-03-2003 3:48pm

Hey I may be just picking you up wrong mister Snowball, you seem to have a strange attitude to CompSoc. why if TomTom currently has the time and skills to throw a site together can he not be set to it, maybe you could give him some guidance as to what you require. Ok fair enough the Comp Soc plays games and does little else, I'll join, pity bout Couter Strike though. I think it should at least have a website, is the Intranet provided by the SU or computer services ????

Snowball · 10-03-2003 4:02pm

dont get me wrong, compsoc apriciates all the help it can get but the website is something that I said I would do and actually looking forward to doing. Also I have something in mind. Anyways, TomTom can slap me silly in the canteen if he thinks I was being rude, he knows me.

No strange attitude to CompSoc just was in a lecture at the time and was touch typing trying to look like I was actualy listening to my lecturer, is harder than it sounds

And about the softwear thing, well there have been people thrown out (and someone told me that one guy is looking at some jail time or atleast a serios fine) of 2 colleges, (that I know of) in Dublin area, and more around the country. They are aparently looking at colleges to suspend, throw out of college, fine or jailed for distributing softwear illigaly. Latly its got serios. Anyways, Ivan is conserned that I could get Compsoc shut down. So am I and I think we are not alone in that.

P.S: you should probably ignore how I word things, the combination of my dylexia and the fact that I type faster than I should ends up with a pretty thought less post (regarding how it is phraised). I very rearly mean anything by what I say

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 10-03-2003 4:04pm

lol

i was kidding about the material-of-questionable-legality

i doubt the college would look kindly upon compsoc distributing warez around the place heh

Snowball · 10-03-2003 4:11pm

lol, I know but still, thats why I posted it. There are some reps that would take that as evedance and hassle the college. The college would just make their life esier and close the society, well, could happen anyways, just incase, u know

TomTom · 10-03-2003 6:27pm

despite what you say, here is a temp website (very bad)
I'm getting sick of waiting for ciaran to come in with the PS2

Compsoc

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 10-03-2003 6:29pm

cool

looks good tom

i_am_dogboy · 10-03-2003 6:30pm

thief doesn't work in win2k, but there is a mod for UT which is the exact same but faster........to be honest we rarely play anything apart from RTCW, starcraft, quake and the odd dose of AVP

im done bringing in games that are anything but FPS's because people dont really play anything else and i couldn't be arsed bringing in games people dont play(warroir kings, homeworld, sacrifice, ground control.......)

ill have OSP for wolfy in soon, which is a mod which doesn't change the game much but adds some cool extra stats and noises(you hear a sheep when you stab someone)

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 10-03-2003 7:07pm

hrm, I seem to recall playing theif on my laptop before.. which runs 2k
I'll have another look later on when I can find the disc.

Dritz · 12-03-2003 9:24am

is compsoc any good?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 12-03-2003 11:14am

it's a good laugh playing quake3 or whatever game for a few hours on monday and wednesday nights yeah, and it's only what..1-2 euro to join?

if you turn up and don't like it, then no one's forcing you to stay *shrug* you can do whatever you want

TomTom · 12-03-2003 7:48pm

Quake tonight was classic, best game ever

Ivan · 13-03-2003 12:10pm

If you happen to like playing PC games, which are reasonably old, on machines which are designed to prevent people from playing games. Then yes compsoc is one of the best socs going.

Just come in and log on at a machine (ask someone there what the log in is) and have a go. Try find out what everyone is playing and they'll tell you how to get it going. If you dont like it dont come back, if you do, we'll need your first born son.

Ivan

i_am_dogboy · 13-03-2003 4:25pm

last night was a laugh, we need to play low grav Q3 more often........if i learn the commands we could do it in wolfenstein too

Redrocket · 17-03-2003 11:45am

the commands are easy to get its just a matter of getting loads of people into the server... loads of people that are up for a bit of low grav madness. you can also set the game speed up as in emulate time running faster, so you shoot, run, reload, everything at a faster or slower rate. that and low grav can be insanity

s4dd · 18-03-2003 12:21pm

Yeah, fudge you steph-an.... or ill put that ifeminite pony-tail of yours in a printing press

Don1 · 18-03-2003 12:22pm

Did yee ever play GTA3 sped up 3x. So funny the cars stay the same speed so you can just leg it away from the cops. Pure class.

Redrocket · 20-03-2003 10:58am

thanx very much to i_am_dogboy AND TO IVAN for getting unreal tournament to work on the computers in lab A307.
we can now add that to our list of games.
anyone wants to play just call around and walk in during the right hours... 5-10 monday/wednesday
im sure we can get a game of unreal going like the huge 22 player game of quake3 we had last week.. might be a bit of fun....
EDITED BY STEVENK
sorry for get my facts wrong first time, mis heard something

Ivan · 20-03-2003 12:44pm

Oh, I_am_dogboy got it to work did he? - Really?

Wow and there I thought it was me,

It was a joke, I really dont give a shíte who got it to work, just so long as we get to play it.

Compsoc is more important than me.

i_am_dogboy · 20-03-2003 1:39pm

it was my game, but he patched it goty and copied it to the conpsoc drive, hopefully ut2003 will work too

Stephen · 20-03-2003 7:03pm

I don't think those pc's in lab307 meet the minimum specs required for UT2003.

CompSoc.
