Very true. But people also drain my energy. And when I am alone, my mood just collapses and my thoughts turn dark. Vitamin D helps a little so I always take that. Unfortunately there are no fresh blueberries this time of the year: they hate the cold as much as I do.
I am sure lots of people get Winter depression in Romania too, but even there your Winters must be milder than Sweden's. My ancestors were idiots to move so far north - couldn't they have stayed in Greece or Italy or something? I've been in Croatia for 11 days now, and it is fantastic! Even though it's been raining every day I am outside all day except when I am working or when my feet get too tired. It was 18 degrees here yesterday, while Växjö is covered in snow. I feel so much happier from being outside and getting exercise and sunlight. I'll probably get fat from eating too much pistachio baklava, but it's worth it

gameaddict117o7 said:What's "No Intermission"?
I know it's 11 years since this comment was made but posting this anyway just in case anyone else wants to know what this flag does.
Out of curiosity I looked up trigger_changelevel in the Half-Life SDK and it appears it only defines the "USE Only" flag and this is the only flag it checks against. It seems it's a leftover from Quake where after a level change was triggered it would switch camera to an info_intermission during the "monsters killed/secrets found" screen, unless the flag was checked. While this functionality was removed in Half-Life, the flag remained.
TLDR: The "No Intermission" flag doesn't do anything and is just a leftover from Quake.
ah great, another competition! I'll start working on a map, feeling up for it. 'green goo' as a theme is pretty challenging eh, we might need to get super creative for this one.
Would a script count as programming? (I wanna use a custom .cfg of my own + some other stuff)
So long as you don't edit any base game files (use a mini-mod if you must) but by coding I mean nothing that is going to alter the way the game plays or the ways that entities work. Just remember that I will be judging the maps and their use of toxic waste and other such slimes.

Looks great, I'll definitely use your lovingly crafted microwave. Note: The bounce pad is missing a texture when I play it on vanilla HL. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

Truly inspired. Obviously a labor of love! Big and intricate, with high levels of interactive detail. Something about it reminds me of Duke Nukem 3D (I mean that as a compliment).

Hi Goonty: -No, not all the weapons are available. I thought some of them were unnecessary for the map. Although, i think i'm being unfair to the hivehand, haha. -Thank you for letting me know!

If you press the "Edit" button you can replace your upload instead of making a new vault post for each update. And if you click "Edit Screenshots" you can add a screenshot - I suspect the number of people on this site who knows what this map is about is 1, and a screenshot is a good way to change that.

Good, big level. Two things: -Are all of the weapons available? -You can get trapped on the geometry of the cylindrical green whirring thingy if you try to jump behind it.

Welcome to TWHL! Thanks for sharing your map! Would you mind adding a screenshot? It's unlikely that a lot of people would download your map without having an idea of what it looks like
I participated in "bridge the gap" and most submitted contend was f****** fantastic. This map takes my vote for the most amazing shadows i've ever seen. I dont play hl so i cant judge the map from a player perspective but visually this is amazing. I hope Archie will explain one day how he got them shadows so crisp looking without being jagged like minecraft.
Winter is always better with people around. The smell of oranges, cinnamon apple pie etc. Get some vitamin D supplements and antioxidants from berries. You live in the country of blueberries, should be easy for you.
Otherwise, tbh I understand you when it comes to December at least.
For me, the beginning of the cold season is at last a mental break for me. I finally feel at peace inside and enjoy reading etc. During summer or during winter when there's snow on the slopes I always feel quite guilty if I don't do or plan some outside activity, or plan to travel somewhere.
Pretty decent map, played it with Sandbot and had a good time. The map ran properly and I encountered no problems or bugs. Other then that theres not much to say, its just your average Opposing Force deathmatch map.
I drink it every now and then but not every day like I used to - I miss it, but I don't like addictions and it's a lot easier for me to get up and out of bed in the morning when I am not dependent on caffeine. Plus it tastes so much better when you are not drinking it out of habit or need. It's a good suggestion though
Mmm winter, by unloved. This is basically that time of the year when my life feels sad, dull and monotonous, yet, I seem to do a lot more during winter than any other season. It's a weird effect, but that's just life.
I'm enjoying the autumn though while we still have leaves on trees. Like, not green, not dry orange either, but yellow. Makes for some nice pictures.
I should post-process these a bit and jam them into the "Post your photos" thread. x3

I spent a fair amount of time making this map and every texture on it. There is almost no seams and the textures are made to fit with each other.

A question. Do you drink coffee? That can liven someone up a bit.
Waited for this day
