I think it's meant to be symbolic of what happens to Neo at that point: he's overloaded and can't overpower the Machines anymore, so the code from that Machine overwhelms him and knocks him out a bit.

Well, "George" isn't exactly what I would expect the leader of a tough Asian gang to be named. I'll get that updated soon, partially since I want to see the name change for myself. Right now, though, I have to go study philosophy.

The only information they were trying to get from Morpheus was how to access the Zion Mainframe, which would've allowed the Machines to directly access all of Zion's systems and effectively wipe them out with no resistance.

I've wondered the same things before, but I figured out fairly well what works and what doesn't when making my EtM movie. I took that storyline and put its elements in my timeline on The MxO Archive. For example, I include Niobe getting ca...

The standard RP term for differentiating between them is "instance." So if someone is on Vector, one would say "They're on the Vector instance." My own RP theory for why the three instances exist is that there are three copies of the Matri...

The original screenplay had an extra line or two where the Agents were getting all confused about where the attack was. The bomb in the elevator was meant to be a distraction to throw them off. Aside from that, I'd say they were just wingi...

It was. I've disowned it and do not consider a single fragment of its story be canon in any way, shape, or form. Especially the Merovingian's Chateau. Yeah, like Neo's gonna spend half an hour running around an M.C. Escher house come to li...

I already coined that on the GameFAQs message board for The Matrix a few months ago. My old term was "smithify" but I like "smithimilate" better :smileyhappy:

Sparks: - Niobe called him and said "Get me outta here, Sparks, I've got Agents right behind me." He probably didn't recognize Smith, and he probably knew they weren't normal Agents, but he could probably recognize that the Smiths had the...

No, no, no. This theory falls apart very quickly if you listen to the Architect's speech: the Machines cannot create a perfect simulation; people will always wake up. If life in the simulation is forced upon them, they wake up even faster,...

My interpretation of Matriculated is that the crew was showing the Machines all of the things that define humanity and distinguish us from the Machines: humor, sexuality, fear, beauty, etc. Once the place gets trashed, he also finally unde...

digitize wrote: Where do you get 'industrial hallway"? It's what they call it in the screenplay. Same with "Control Room" for where the Architect is.

It wasn't the Twins who stole the key, it was Cain and Abel. And they were able to get into the Industrial Hallway beforehand. They had to, in order to steal it. Apparently, The Merovingian later destroyed the key and sprinkled its fragmen...

It's a hallmark of this game that it'll always take a little longer than people can endure for things to get around to them. It's been that way since Beta, and people always bite their tongue as soon as things pick up again. So the best th...

Excellent work, Zion! (( So nice to have summaries like this for those of us on different servers :smileyhappy: )) *runs off to update the MxO Archive timeline*

I told Walrus what the temporary domain is and he put up a link already. Still, though, I'm checking every so often to see if the original gets freed up.

She probably used to live in Moriah Projects. That's what I first thought when I saw all those identical tenement buildings: just like the ones that Neo flies to at the beginning of Reloaded.

Yes, Morpheus did use a sword. But that was in a multi-million dollar film where it probably cost about a hundred bucks for a prop katana. This is an MMO where inclusion of a weapon like that would necessitate several months of MoCap and a...

Whoa... :smileysurprised: Man, that right there is too much hotness for one room. Makes me wish I worked for the Merovingian :smileyvery-happy:

Uh... no. The Super Brawl finishes at the same street corner where Neo called the Machines at the end of the first film, as can be seen when the camera zooms out to show all the Smiths exploding. The streets are layed out just like they ar...

What do you think of the example I posted above, with the small panels that include only a couple really important numbers?

If exploits surrounding the /copychar feature was one of those major problems, couldn't you just disable that command and let us continue testing with the characters we already have?

If there was another during Beta, it must've been there before I joined, 'cause there's only been one for as long as I can remember, and hunting down all the hardlines was one of the first things I ever did in the game.

Rarebit has already told us that some of the useropts are admin-only, so if there are any that we can use, we're allowed to use them. That being said, he wasn't sure that some of them were admin-only, so there may still be some (like Camer...

You can also use one of the other options for regular camera height to go into a virtual first-person mode. Just set CameraHeightOffset to something like 1.5 and that should put the camera above your head, even when standing up.

There are places to hold discussions other than these forums, y'know... :smileywink: Oh, and huge props to the devs. As much as I hate the Cypherites, I'm glad this is going to be done. At the very least, it gives us some definitive target...
