Stupid Yankee; it's a full stop!

Hm, how strange.

First off, what about the cable? Standard VGA cable, or DVI (the first probably blue, the latter probably grey)?

Try running 3DMark '05 (or '03 if you prefer, and that's a DX9 one).

a nice AMD A64 Venice rig instead

Eheh. Good-o.

Uh... the smileys?

You can't, it forces you to update to 7 now.

It's no big deal if you use A-Patch. I just did it; entirely ad-free.

Not bad.

Case is a bit expensive.

No Raptor?

You should change your avatar to PNG, by the way, with transparency. Get with the times ;p.

Common causes:

1. Incorrect Hammer setup;
2. Failed compile;
3. Using spaces in map name.

Sari, any chance of a screenshot of your presumably-patched version of MSN 7 'ere please?

Fair enough.

Visited another forum, and chuckled at a Canadian computing site. I think Sari put it in his journal.

No more gay undertones in Leveldesign!

Yeah, I can see those suggestive shadow shapes in Coil... don't think you can undertone me, boy.

Update everything, and have a search yourself instead of trying to get other people to do it for you.

Use smoke and steam sprites instead of flame ones. You might do well to read about sprites in the Entity Guide, or Google for a tutorial on 'em.

Played me piano some more.

There are. At least one. I've seen their site.

Well, I heard there are some.

What's your budget, exactly?

I don't think you can anymore. You'll just have to hack it to be more like 6 or switch to another client (I think alternative clients remained available after all; may be wrong, though).

He's talking about switching the light from it!

On the Staff- and Story-style pages.

Bumped into PaLO over at chavscum.co.uk and signed up for a mod with him, not realising it was him until me told me :).

Elon, everything on that nasty page is on the much nicer page I linked to. Tommy helped make it.

Why does the word 'like' appear apparently-randomly in some sentences?

Actually, I have:

followed by a full stop. My point is, it turns up as a picture. It's not a colon and a 'p'.

Nah, that one made sense. I was finishing the sentence. The post before didn't have any verbs in, so it couldn't've been a sentence.

Pwned.

I think we should stop now in case we make Andy cry.

atom knows best :P.

Down with MS!

I was making up for Jeremy's lack of full stops in his post :P.

I'd guess it's a configuration problem. I also imagine you're probably using the Quake tools for compiling. Read the Compiling Introduced tutorial and all the compiling-related tutorials, and get the latest build of Zoner's Tools (info).

If you're still stumped, read your compile log and compare it against this list, and finally post it here.

Just commented on muzzle's topic

Before coming here?

Erm. There isn't anything to be interested in.

Got up (finally) and had some very nice cereal.

eels - Packing Blankets

*that's
*Seventh's

:P.

Alternatively, as I've done it in the past, a lot of env_sprites being turned on and off in quick succession.

(which is fucking intimidating on foot)

Wuss :P.

Walking and flying are great.

I push the on button, and then I go read the paper

Time for a tidy, or an upgrade?

I bought these:coming to about ?111.

... with your finger...

?5? That's a bit cheap?

Sat in front of my comp in a dressing gown while playing with my belt and ruler.

You were wearing a dressing gown and a belt, and at half five in the afternoon?

This is going off-topic now.

gordonfreeman, there are neither enough good maps submitted nor staff to work this, sorry. TWHL isn't a pro. mapper place on the whole, it's intended to be helpful.

Erm... how so? PCs can do lots of things. Consoles play games. They're cheap, poor-spec machines at present, and have unwieldy controls for FPSs, lacking finesse entirely.

What the hell, you have to register to even view them? Nobody's going to bother looking.

Played my piano mucho.

Yes. Cocky shit.

Sorry :).

Why didn't you try it instead of posting?

Failed to render the file.

I hope you wrote 'their' in the actual thing :P. Sounds interesting, though.

Agreed.

I can't believe it sat in E's basement for two and a half years.

1. I'd suggest shift-dragging a working model four times and seeing if they all show up. If they do, then my guess is either you've used the wrong model type for something, or, as Ant said, messed up the draw distances, possibly with the helpers.
