search for missing toadlife

[Zombie]

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

[macguba]

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

Are you Scottish Macguba? The mac bit might give it away but I'm not sure.

[THobson]

And the flag in Un-Impossible

[macguba]

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.

[THobson]

That's neat

[bedges]

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

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

[macguba]

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.

[THobson]

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!

[bedges]

so you'd call the women 'quinies' then

[macguba]

Lol I suppose so.    

[Planck]

Aye........loons and quines.

It's the same around here too.

"Och he's a fine loon, and his wife is such a bonnie quine!!"

etc etc.
