How was the restaurant? Would you go back? :p
I'm def. going back. I tried grilled squid with a side of grilled veggies and was delighted. Over here, most restaurants offer meat with not much else. Like sure, ćevapi are great, but it does get boring after a while. I really need to find more places with seafood, been meaning to explore that front for a while now..

Much as I'm a Blender addict, I'd appreciate seeing some guides for other tools, at least out of curiosity. I think it'd bring value to the community overall.
This is a good idea NGL. There could be omitted visgroups ("export only visible objects") and non-planar faces.
Edit: ack, the visgroup part doesn't make too much sense since you don't see them anyway when disabled. Bah! It can still happen under some circumstances.

All that's gonna do is crash once you have a big enough array. All those function calls are gonna add up and eat the stack.
Best to use a for loop in this scenario.
I can tangentially relate to this. I mapped for Far Cry 1 for a while which was an entirely different beast to GoldSRC.
One excelled at scripting and sequences (there was literally a keyframe-based sequence editor), and the ability to create new types of NPCs, weapons & vehicles just by editing some text files. And of course, very large open spaces with lots of vegetation.
The other excelled at its ease of creating unique set pieces and richness in player interaction. I've wanted the best of both worlds for a while.
I've seen bits and bobs of Arma 3 modding so I totally kinda get what you're saying. Hopefully your venture with VScript goes well!
I'm def. looking forward to playing around with it when it gets released, doing some experiments and whatnot. Maybe I'd even port my real-time moss mod to it. My only hope is that Pathos will be licenced under something permissive like Apache-2.0, BSD3 or MIT.
Honestly the model format isn't a huge deal. If we get the headers for it, someone else can fork TrenchBroom and add support. An alternative is to add GLTF support to the engine, something I'd probably be willing to do, and TrenchBroom would then automatically be supported. J.A.C.K. isn't exactly a custom Hammer binary BTW, it's a Qt project likely built from the ground up.

I think that's Sven Co-op-specific, isn't it? opens up the code
Yeah, there's nothing in HL SDK that points to the parsing of #N there. It is always USE_TOGGLE. Either way though, good to know!

Another update: winter is right around the corner, which means I'll be gaining some weight again. But! This summer I managed to reach 79 kg. I'm extremely happy, you've no idea.

I once drank iced coffee in the afternoon and managed to stay up til 6 in the morning.
Never doing that again unless I really really reallyyyy have to. Few things in life are worth sacrificing one's sleep.

Hai! This ain't looking too bad.
You can get J.A.C.K. instead of using Hammer. You can find it in the tools section on our Wiki. You may also ask questions on the forums here and/or on the Discord server. Happy mapping!
I do not believe that is exactly right. I'll have to test this on my brother's Athlon 200GE rig with no dedicated GPU.
From what I know CS2's Hammer has this fancy lighting preview mode, which uses RTX. There should hopefully still be a CPU raytraced fallback.
Furthermore, I identify as a furry, and I believe I am, but I seem to be more... hardcore (if that's the right word) about it than the rest of the fandom.
And that's okay. hugs
I actually care about the politics of the situation, as opposed to the rest of the fandom, which doesn't even seem to care that there is a group of literal domestic terrorists directly and personally opposing them.
If you mean the US, I dunno. I have a feeling many care, but simply aren't in enough power so there's fear involved. Globally? Well, in some places there just aren't issues like that.
In my country, furries are unheard of and I'm certain if there were to ever be a furry convention here, we'd see the same events that happened in Belgrade in 2001, when Serbia's first pride parade happened. You don't wanna know what happened.
I do confront people who say bullshit though. Sometimes I deem it too risky or simply not worth my time, but when I see a good opportunity to point out that someone's hatred/disliking/disrespect - of not just furries - is utterly irrational and senseless, I take it.
I'm used to being a shade of gray. I suppose I find some comfort in not being a perfect fit for a hole, because it at least means I'll be unique enough to stand out (I mean, I have a fox fursona who's not a femboy, and I'm still an interesting person!) But in being different in ways nobody talks about, I have no reference point. How am I supposed to know if I'm a one-in-a-million, or if I'm part of a silent majority, if it's silent?
I believe every individual is a unique permutation of all the possible features an individual may have, even if just slightly different.
That aside though, yeah. "Nobody's talking about it so nobody knows about it", I guess most people are just too busy to think about it.
My fox sona isn't a femboy either, BTW. I went from being a straight non-furry in 2017, to a bi questioning-furry in 2018, to a pan furry in 2021. Similarly my views on a lot of things (and of my own self) have shifted over the years. Positively, I may say. And they will keep doing that.
Considering my neurodivergency, I have even less to compare myself too, because I can't even assume that basic human psychology always applies. Often it does, but sometimes it doesn't. I'm basically just floating in a void.
Yeah but like, what's the purpose of this comparison? If anything, I'd just occasionally compare past selves and current self to analyse and potentially improve future self. I don't think you need to compare yourself to someone in order to define yourself, because ultimately, you are you.
so yeah be special but not too special
Nah, be as special as you are. No such thing as 'too special'. I know you meant something else, but just sayin'.

I think the whole idea of "loving" a job is not right in the first place. How can you love a dead thing? You can love people, and people can love you back.
It depends on how you define a job. To some people, a job is merely a contract. To me, a job is some paid activity + people relevant to that activity. So indeed if I love that job, I love the people, and I love performing the activity partly because of passion and partly because of the people.
You need to actually cut up the faces into smaller ones and then give them a slight bulge, for lack of a better word. Make them pinch out, so there are actually varying angles to work with.
Although with brushes, you'd get flat shading, so eh...

You are beginning to kinda "spam" the journals. It'd be nice to start one journal for one topic and keep posting updates on it (example: GoldSRC + Godot = ???). If it's more tightly related to GoldSRC/Source, it would be a good idea to start a thread about it, or even post in the WiP screenshots thread: Post your screenshots!
Anyway, that is very nice, keep going! My largest map was probably 12 MB with lord knows how many brushes. Just make sure it's optimised enough and fits within BSP limits.
Happy birthday!
I've been alright, visited a new restaurant today, it's got seafood and stuff.
g -> h
r -> t
Each of these is 1 key to the left of its original.
The ' and " part I'll leave as an exercise to the reader.
There's a little trap in that part.
Happy birthday also!
I'm glad to hear you're doing better, Overfloater

Please post your question in the forums, not here.

It is kind of easy, I'd say. The hard thing is to find a job that you love.
