You can't do 8xAA on ATI cards :|.

Look at his join date, though :P.
Yes, I do, Rabid. Not very well yet, I must say, but I try :).
Anthony: I strongly recommend some nice cooling for your next PC. Didn't you say your parents might well pay for the PC itself? You could buy it ? would make you look appreciative and get you a lovely quiet PC.
Zalman ftw.
Overclocking Athlon XPs seems very easy and safe. Not played with voltages, and doubt I will (I wanted to undervolt, but I can't with this motherboard). Heat
voltage^2

Quite nice. He looks a little polygonised.
Can see the rubbed-out bits, though. Not too noticable, though. It looks like he's moving.

Why didn't you move it? 
I get a cross-test average of about 47.5fps with:
AMD Athlon XP 2400+ (OC 16.5%) at 166MHz FSB (OC 25%)
2x512MB Generic DDR2700 (unmatched)
Sapphire ATI RADEON 9800 (stock speeds :()
Resolution: 1280x1024 (this makes astonishingly little difference)
Models: High
Textures: Med (only because of the nasty 9800 bugs still in Source)
Shaders: High
Shadows: High
Water: Reflect World
AA: 2xT2
AF: 4X
Vsync: Disabled
CPU speed/FSB (memory-processor interface in most systems) makes a huge difference to in-game performance. Not so much in the stress test, but where I was getting 16fps in assault with some bots and a mate, I was later getting 35-odd from clocking my old AMD Athlon XP 2400+ from the stock 2.00GHz (15x133MHz FSB) to 2.32GHz (14*166MHz FSB). Then again, upping the FSB meant that my RAM and the bus were running in syncronisation, so I probably got a considerable extra benefit there.
Then again, that might well not be too much of an option in a notebook. Also, I'm lucky in that I've got a multiplier-unlocked CPU straight from the factory.
I'll post a comparison on my 64-bit laptop with a 9700 later today if I remember :).

Wow, we are honoured by your first post, another Mr. Monkey :).

Stick with ZHLT!
Check your task manager process list for CPU usage. Anything using up a huge amount for no apparent reason? Post its name here if so.

No ? Kasperg chose the coming competition, and it's already been posted t'atom.
Hammer is not correctly set up, or else you have punctuation/spaces in your path or file names and must remove them.
That last error can mean absolutely anything, basically. It's due to something invalid.
The first error isn't an error, it's just a verbose report. It always happens. Ignore it.

Very interesting, though. Source?

That just sounds like the HL? storyline :|.
What do you win for that?
I don't think I've ever won anything. Haven't entered very many, though.

Mmm... can't see why people shouldn't discuss such a serious and major event.
Any advice on fitting a small temperature sensor to a RADEON 9800 or how I would go about reading from it?
Uh... no, you go into half-life, like I said, unless you're actually talking about HL?DM.

You'd need to copy the CS:S weapon code, models, and sprites into your mod code.
VALVe would probably be cross, yes.

Ant, overclock if you can? I clocked back to stock speeds for troubleshooting BF2 and forgot to change it back and was getting ~14fps. Clocked the FSB from 133MHz to 166MHz and the resultant CPU speed from 2GHz to 2.3GHz, and it doubled.
I already made an example map illustrating one of these years ago. I forgot to animate the scanner, though.
It's a lot tighter. Far less sniping, too.
I don't know off-hand how it was generally done by VALVe, but there are lots of ways to produce exactly the same effect.
Hey, it's nice.
I trust the code will be valid :P.

What? That'll make it target barney, going?
Headcrab, it's just an illusion. Just don't make the scanner something like a button, which the player can use.

In Steam, it'll be in:
C:Program FilesValveSteamSteamAppsaccountnamehalf-lifevalvemodelsplayer. Phew. If any subdirectories don't exist, you just create 'em.
They will almost certainly be empty if they do exist.

That's a nasty one. Nothing to do with degenerate faces though =]Hey, I dunno, could be related. It's a perculiar term.
Yeah. Seems very low-resolution somehow.
Nah, they're 'neds' up there (non-educated delinquents).
It does look a lot like toast... except for the blue quality. It's a bit too squashed (vertically), too.
Sincere sympathies to your friend, Hunter.
yes the sun does rise in the morning!Nonsense, the Earth revolves around it. It's an illusion. Feel free to view that as a deep wise comment, or just as a physics nit-picker.
ZL, if a country is attacked by nukes? What do you think governments are going to do? Sit their?I think they should. How does killing millions more innocent civilians advance their country when their people are dead?
Uh, this is stuff for the journal, really, y'know.
Welcome back, anyway.

Well, I just made this logo for my private messaging system (soon to be included in TWHL, I hope):
It won't look too nice with IE because of its lack of support for alpha channels to date, but really, nobody who uses IE cares about how anything looks. I hope, for their sake.
No, you have to build them in the console. Read your compile log!
## degenerate faces
Degenerate faces are generally an unknown anamoly, but they can be tracked down. Generally this compile error comes up when Hammer cannot fix the 'Invalid Solid Structure' in-world-editor map error, so it spits out saying that it cannot fix it and ends.

"You've combined brushes into a func_water that doesn't form a rectangle (or damn close to a rectangle). Func_waters are notorious for being STUPID. I got this error just combining two worldbrushes that made up an L shape into a func_water." If it isn't the water (most common), then check your triggers and other brush entitys, odd shaped/illegal trigger brushes can also cause this error.
It's very nice, even if the majority of the minor-ish outdoor decoration has no shadows, which looks dodgy. The layout is a lot like fanhacks of the original assault :).
The lighting is very unrealistic inside, thought, I think.

when i'm actually an indie... you have to be in a group to be individual?
Yeah...

Web design is very easy. Is there really any point in using templates, generators, etc.? You don't get any sense of achievement. Learn XHTML from the masterful w3schools. You could do it in a day.
Yeah, exactly.
Check all your settings, and your compile log.
I'd guess that's a texture. Has the SDK finished downloading? Check the Steam Monitor. If it has, have you played the game you're trying to map for? Do.
Jimmy Eat World - Kill
Yes.
Elon: of course not. No map lighting is done at play-time, basically, except for very low-resolution flashes from explosions, etc.

In America we spell it "encyclopedia"I know. That's why I was saying Jahzel had fallen by spelling it like that.
Jimmy Eat World - Drugs or Me
I think The GIMP has some excellent tiling functions.
That's nonsense, Elon.
Half-dude, all lighting information is compiled into the ZIP. Only HLRAD uses lights.rad. There is no need to distribute it (unless you're dishing out the RMF/MAP too, in which case people wouldn't be able to get the lighting right).
