@Instant Mix

Whatever, when my birthday comes, on the 23rd of February, I will simply write "It's my birthday today! Discuss the fact how I haven't had a birthday party since 2012."

But you're right, the puzzles are usually not hard to solve.

@Penguinboy

One could easily track down where I live, good point. And then they would come at me, not very good.

And since I make maps, and a lot of other things, I think that all I told you above is pretty much 80% of the information you'll ever read about me.
Therefore, I'm stopping being very informative about myself.
Commented 8 years ago2016-09-22 14:43:06 UTC in journal: #8748 Comment #62915
I'm not sure about you, but I have been glued to a PC, since I was 4, and it probably brought me almost 0% social life (I've never gone out by myself), including cracky bones (but I like cracking them, so whatever), but the lifestyle has brought me a lot of nice things, too:

1. New times, new opportunities
Perhaps the thing I wanted to know when I was 4, was "how did they make this game?". Well, I do know now, 10 years later, so that's a plus.

Also, having good skills with computer software (and perhaps making software) and probably with assembling hardware, can open a lot of more opportunities when it comes to finding a job, or in education, because there are so many different fields in the IT industry:
-programming/software engineering
-server administration
-video production
-music production (some people live off of making music in FL Studio)
-art
-game design (found your own game studio, or become employed in a popular game company)
And so on...

2. I am the first one who is asked, when something isn't OK, in the entire town

So yeah, until I was 9, my dad fixed all the computer-related issues.
And when I started troubleshooting on my own at the age of 10, I started rocking at it. I did my own OS re-installs, cracked my own bought games (yes, this country has paid pirated games) etc.

Lel, when I was 10 I still plugged off my PC, instead of shutting it off. No wonder I had to reinstall Windows XP 2 times a month.

3. I learned tons of information

So this one was already mentioned above, but here we go again:
At the moment, I know these languages: Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian, English, Turkish, and a bit of German, Russian and Spanish, and barely some words in French, Latin and only 1 word in Polish and Chinese.

Of course, there are other things too, like mapping. How would I learn mapping if I never went to the Internet? The same applies for texturing, modelling, coding, music making and video editing.

4. A little amount of friends

Now, not real life friends, but Facebook friends. Some of you have thousands of FB friends, I only have less than a 100, and I don't know 20 of them, who are actually my classmates' parents.

Seriously, I hate Facebook. I mean, it's the biggest time eater in the world. Facebook users spend hours glued at their chat box. And one of my classmates, specifically, the one I used to love, uses our school's Wi-Fi to use Facebook Messenger.
She chats during small breaks! How ridiculous is that! She has the option of face-to-face conversation with another classmate in the same classroom, but instead she just chats with her.

Now, my obsession with Facebook started in 5th grade, 4 years ago. But then, everyone was annoyed by me. I was annoying to them, but they're just jealous because I have excellent marks from most of the subjects. +I map for a plenty of games

So, 1 year later, in 2013, I fell in love, but I wanted to kill myself because she didn't like me at all. So I became paranoid, and life didn't make sense anymore.

The "crisis" still carried on in 2014, again, life didn't make any sense, and I wanted to do suicide. (In 2015, things turned out greatly, and I deactivated my FB account a year later).

And, having mentioned 2014, it's one of my favourite years! That's when:

5. I started mapping for Counter-Strike

Finally, my old glory has returned at the end of that year!
I shouted to my bro: "Ajdin!!! I'm making a map change!" (He calls maps "map changes", it's Sven Co-op's fault).

And that's the story of Crater 2015, my first map ever.

Then I started ambitious projects, and 90% of them failed, even though the idea was good. The only surviving projects were: 'school_destroy' and 'project_oldcastle' which turned into dm/fy_stoned.

So yeah, I had a great pre-teen-hood. Now I'm 14, and I've never been better! ALL because of me powering on a PC at the age of 4.

Now, I obviously missed a lot of things during my childhood: hanging out with friends, walking along the streets of Stolac, learning about my country's landscape etc.

But no, I don't regret for not hanging out with my friends. In fact, these "friends" turned into street people, they swear at everything (oh, the profanity!), they have no culture and proper behaviour, and are overall degenerics.
Some of them, at the age of 13, started smoking and drinking beer! And exactly all of th--- OK, let's not mention that, it's not for kids. Let's just say it's a sin in Islam, and it's a bad thing to do, even though some doctors say it's healthy.

Well, that's exactly why I don't regret it, because I'll soon move on to high school, and then college, and those "friends" will probably work as soldiers (not a great paycheck here), or work another low-paid job.

Well, I've made my point here. Admer456 out!

The moment I came here:

Back on topic:
Anyways, I think how that happening is quite normal, because it happened to my cousins, and my brother, but in a different way.

As an example, I gave my Android phone to one of my closer relatives (she has around 6 months of age), with an accordion app opened, so I could somehow entertain her.

Guess what. She played a chord like a pro, with her 2 tiny hands. My aunt started laughing at that.

So yeah, I think it's very normal for the ultra-young people to embrace technology very quickly.

Like my brother, who is 6, and my cousin-neighbour, who is 8, they both know the difference between a PS4, Xbox One, and a PC (alas, modern children typically learn that at that age).

My brother has a Roblox account, and he plays Roblox every day. He once tried to map for it, but it was a lot different from GoldSrc, so I also didn't know.

And then my cousin, he just knows everything, but just like me, he doesn't have any of that (a PS4, a copy of GTA V, a debit card). The same goes for my brother, I still owe him a copy of Portal 2 which I promised for his birthday.

And all 3 of us know about the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. Because the first thing we used to do was going to the Internet and watching videos about it.

So, there's the outcome:
If you're given a multimedia device, you will learn a lot, in a relatively very small amount of time.

Yeah, the "nebula" skyboxes. They're nice for these maps. Although, I think there's one with white dots.
Commented 8 years ago2016-08-30 07:13:07 UTC in journal: #8743 Comment #68566
Well, that's nice. Although, you should be careful with the VM tool, since some of these UT maps have rocky terrain, shapes which are not common. And sometimes, you can't get the results you want.

Here's a tip: use Ctrl+F to connect 2 vertices with a line. It's helpful with solving a common brush error.

Probably a card game about Rebels vs. Combines.

The Strider card could effectively destroy 3 regular rebels. And, a Dog card would be able to destroy an APC. An Odessa card (the guy who gives you the RPG), could destroy either an APC, or an Airship.

The Crowbar card would be the rarest. It defeats everything.

I wonder what people thought about Day Of Defeat in 2003. Some probably said "What's this? A Medal Of Honor copycat?"

Commented 8 years ago2016-08-20 20:43:23 UTC in vault item: Moving Terrain Comment #20291
This is surely going to help mappers who don't understand how it works.

When I first tried to make moving terrain, I cut it into segments, and tied the whole group to a single func_conveyor.
Then, I tied it to a func_train.
It took me 4 months to realize that I need to have a separate func_train for each segment.

And now:

Hmm, Fiat 500 Abarth (1970 model), Seat 600, and Zastava 750 look the same.
Commented 8 years ago2016-08-13 18:39:41 UTC in journal: #8734 Comment #68072
That's the same thing in the mod Contest Island. I could try and remake the thing, and it's not so hard to make, it's not smooth.

The opposite is the Zastava 750. The surface is very smooth. Smooth surface = a lot of polygons. It will be so funny, because it's like the VW Beetle.

There's already a Mercedes S280 in a mod for Far Cry. The mod is called Contest Island: Invasion.

I'm planning to make a Zastava 750 (a classic Yugoslavian car), an Opel Kadett Caravan, a Volkswagen Scirocco, and 2 or 3 more cars.

It's 100x better than GoldSource, but it is very complex and hart to learn. But I was very determined to make maps for it, so it wasn't a problem.

Certainly looks 20x better than my Half-Life mod. The art design sort of reminds me of Postal.

@2muchvideogames
I'm not sure if I will ever emigrate. Emigration depends on my career, and my career is related to game development, so I might run my own studio somewhere, or be a co-founder, my friends from school and I talked about it.
In fact, that seems like the best idea for now.

Oh, OK. I guess almost nobody is the same as me, globally speaking. Locally, exactly nobody's like me.

If it's me, then I can say that I treat mapping etc. exactly as I treat other people. Calmly, carefully, and with a good grip and a smile on my face.

@Urby

I don't really know. They perhaps never heard of Lord GabeN XD

My dad first said the thing about scams when I was 8, I wanted to buy an activation code for Blockland, and I even showed him the 10 reasons to buy Blockland.

Then he said, begin quote:
"Listen son, I know you really want it, but the people who sell these passwords on the Internet are scammers.
They, once you enter the credit card number, will sweep all our money, it doesn't matter if it costs $10 or even 5, the prices are always higher in the background."
Huh, as if everyone is a hacker. Tell that to the people who have the codes.

I remember these words very well, and I'll remember them for the rest of my life, just to prove the opposite.

I believe I asked him: "But how do these thousands of people already have the serial key?" He never replied. My mom, of course, has very little idea on how to use a computer, so she never talked about these things.

Now I can finally grab my chance, if you remember my 2 journals of "Teh epik master plan". I'm opening the bank account in less than a week, and I will finally bring justice to my neighbourhood!

(yes, the neighbourhood, I also have a cousin/neighbour, who also wants to buy games on his mom's mobile phone, but they won't allow him)

No, the runtimes were for the VM, my host OS already had them. How do you think I made my maps on GameBanana (?), if I hadn't installed the games?

And it took me 3 days to get the VM working, mostly because it took forever to download the ISO file, and then to install VirtualBox itself and get that working.
Everything else went well in a couple of hours: the installation, the drivers, installing WON Half-Life etc.
Commented 8 years ago2016-07-03 20:33:25 UTC in journal: #8718 Comment #62886
Facepalm*

I installed the WON version because I was too lazy to make the cswarzone non-Steam version, install properly. It needs C++ 2005 Runtimes, I think...

Afterall the weapon bobbing is SO MUCH better in the WON Half-Life, so it won that round. I hate the weapon bobbing in Steam Half-Life, Quake II is better than that, especially with that "free-style" swing-it-around bobbing when you move the cursor.

Plus, I want to have the hardware limitations. I mean, a Voodoo 3 + Pentium 2 setup would perform nicely at buttery-smooth 25 fps. Explosions + gibs would drop the framerates to 15 fps.

Contradictory, my Intel GMA X3100 would be the holy grail of GPUs back then, in 1999. It would even handle Crytek's demos from 2001 very well. That's why, I decided to do some VMery, even though I could just set fps_max to 24.

To re-play it as if it was year 1999, even though I was born in 2002. I'm simply that old-school kid who would play these games, simply because I didn't play these games in the appropriate time.

To be honest, I think that less than 100 people even play Half-Life Deathmatch, on servers.

"GS" can mean the short of "GoldSource" or "GoldSRC", but also many other things: "grand stadium", "golden state", "gelasonium" et cetera, as long as you had these terms in context.
