Dumpshock Forums _ Shadowrun _ The Shadowrun Supplemental #19

Posted by: Adam Jul 18 2004, 04:25 AM

It is 00:01 EST, July 18th, according to my clock, and that means http://tss.dumpshock.com is out.

This is a relatively short issue, featuring expansions and additions to FanPro's Sprawl Survival Guide, a Shadowrun Economics article, and regular features The Corporate Review and The Cluttered Datastore.

If you like this issue, drop us a line of thanks, or http://tss.dumpshock.com/guidelines.html for a future issue, or http://tss.dumpshock.com/donate.html.

Next Up: Seattle 2063 or TSS-20.

Adam the digital pimp hard at work.

Funny, I can't get TSS to load...

Dumpshock Forums and other sites are fine though.

Yep, Connection refused when attempting to contact tss.dumpshock.com

Fixed. The forums and some of the sites run on different servers, and the older server is flaky at times.

Reading through it now, however, I don't see any cover art or page headers or anything other than the text until the Rural Lifestyles section. Is it supposed to be like that, is it just me, or what?

What version of Acrobat Reader are you using? It sounds like you're using version 4 or 5, and the various tricks that version 6 - the recommended version - uses are tripping up your reader.

Well, I was using Preview under Panther actually.

Posted by: Adam Jul 19 2004, 12:20 AM

Interesting; I didn't test it under Preview.

I'll potentially re-jigger some things after a bit more testing; more compatability is a worthwhile sacrifice for less compression.

I hadn't ever noticed Preview having issues before. Odd stuff. I usually stick to it since it's so light-weight.

On another note, the additional lifestyle stuff is great, especially the rural lifestyle rules.

Revised version posted - http://tss.dumpshock.com/files/tss-19.zip

It should work under any version of Acrobat Reader 4 or higher, and in OSX Preview.

It may have been short, but it was packed full of cool stuff. I can't wait to make my next rigger and buy the 'Mechanics Shop'. Thanks Adam for another great issue!

Look, I'm published! Yay!

I decided to submit a bit of my own artwork. If it fits the standards I think I'll try submitting more

Been trying to connect since yesterday... still no joy.

Posted by: Adam Jul 19 2004, 01:19 PM

Bizarre; the site has been up since I restarted the HTTPD server on Sunday afternoon. Can you reach www.dumpshock.com?

Posted by: toturi Jul 19 2004, 01:57 PM

No, I can't either. Something wrong with my computer?

Posted by: Adam Jul 19 2004, 02:09 PM

I'd suggest so, although I'm not exactly sure what. Try visiting the sites in a different browser or after a reboot?
