I'm VERY curious about this. In v1 the location for sand explosions sprite(s) is in \Program Files\Day of Defeat\dod\sprites\adrian ? why is it called ADRIAN? There's no one on the team called adrian, nor does that name bear any relevance to sprites? Anyone have any clues?

A Dev Team memebrs girlfriend? An acronym?

adrian can be a guy's name also.......

Corporal Adrian Sheppard from Opposing Force?

Adrian! Get in the flask!

I can do a pretty good Little Nicky impression too

hahaha little nicky

i used to talk normal, till my brother hit me in the face with a shovel.

I think Adrian is one of the guys at Valve.

Adrian Caparzo anyone?

when i hear adrian, i think of good ol' adrian carmack. he worked on/helped create some of the best games we have ever seen. http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,819/

ya...good games.....k....DIEEEEEEEEEEE :confused:

Anyone who worked on Doom, Wolfenstien AND Quake, the three most influential FPS games ever, is OK in my book :D

Carmack is a legend. 'nuff said.

When i hear adrian i think of Rocky Balboa :D

"YO ADRIENNE!!! I DID IT!" :D

My name´s Adrian also...

But i haven´t made those sprites :P

So? I'm not saying they're bad, I'm saying they're boring.

Why doesn't someone check the manual in DOD for anyone with the name Adrian?

[Edit] I just found the adrian folder, I dunno why its called that.

Theres something missing in your head if you found doom, wolf and quake boring when they came out, I mean what else were you playing, duke nukem, wahey, crappy over the top monty python wanna be p0rn humor... what fun...

Ah playing wolf with ablib sound, those were the days lol

I actually kinda like Duke Nukem lol Wasn't too keen on Quake, revoltionary though it was I jus never really got into it.

Terminator: Future shock was a great game that came out before Quake but got pretty much ignored.

Anyway, no idea who Adrian is lol

Ska

ohh Terminator: Future Shock, what was ahead of its time, I lost my CD years go I went on a mad hunt of the net to get a demo, still good fun, if you squint really hard!

I don't know about Carmack. Seems like a whiner. Took him six months to code shadows in to Q2 with C++ when I know it can be done a lot quicker by other people, one of which I was working with at the time.

Then he crawled out of his little hole and *****ed and moaned that he never wanted to do shadows again.

No, I can't say I admire him as much as some people do. Those games were logical evolutions of gaming. If it hadn't been id Software, it would've been someone else we'd be singing the praises of.

Personally, for all three of those games' terribly singular vision and lack of any kind of variety [gelly blobs that had been used in countless console RPG's up 'til then and since? come oooon], they bored me too.

Half-Life was also a logical evolution of gaming. It was bound to happen at some time or other.

why does it matter, it's the name of a goddamn folder?

it could be a joke for all you know, they might of have named it that for nosey people like you all to find and think about...

Carmack's first name is John.
Sorry to burst that bubble :)

Adrien Brody, and someone has poor spelling or typing skills?
Could be from Rocky, "ADRIAN! ADRIAN!"

No, there is an Adrian Carmack (no relation to John) he is an artist at Id software, no bubble burst.

pfft, know it all moderators, pfft! :D
