Well yeah. Same here now. But when I started mapping 7 years ago it was quite a demanding task. (Worldcraft 2.1) shudder

First off use the edit button unless you want to get shafted by the mods. Never double post.

Secondly read the tutorials concerning scripted_sequences.

Dude, this mod's more than a year old. They probably stopped working on it.

Don't revive dead topics next time.

4 posts above.

Uhm...Please read the whole thread in future.

OMGROFLMAO.

How did I miss this thread!?

Rather disturbing how the title of the thread is "Most Hated Holiday Tradition" and the second page is focused on "Hairy Bum Love." What holiday are we fucking discussing here!?!?

BTW just so we're clear that when I say "Hairy bum love" I'm not being discriminatory either. I have nothing against homosexuals. A few of my colleagues are gay and they're are some of the funniest people I've met.

I remember you.

Yeah. No other way around it really. You have to make it bit by bit. I don't use the Black Mesa jeep anymore cos its been used to death but back when I did it took me 4 hours and 3 restarts to get it right.

Xen made me want to hurt myself.

I loved Surface Tension and Blast Pit equally.

I want a British accent, they sound cool

Why thank you.

Just pulled up these videos on you tube and It reminded of a thread I meant to create a while ago.

My favourite comedian has to be Lee Evans. His dedication and the energy he puts into what he does is incredible. If you never have seen this brilliant man perform watch these clips.

So, who is it that makes you cry with laughter?

Erm...func_waters have a 'contents' property? You can have water, slime or lava.

Just choose lava.

@m0p:

Great Stories guys.

Turnips? They're a vegetable. AKA. Swede

I felt like writing something but my imagination is sleeping at the moment so I have written about a section from HL's Office Complex chapter. I might consider writing this from the start of the game to finish which will obviously take a lot of time but I find its the best way to excersise your descriptive abilities without having to run short on imagination which is the main killer of most of my projects.

"As gunfire echoed through the halls and the distant calls from foreign beings chilled the spines of all that heard them, one man was drifting silently between the rooms. He passed many of the dead and dying and despite being of there form he continued his advance, refusing to acknowledge them. He rounded a corner and saw one of the many creatures that was stalking the halls. It winced as he strode forward through the doorway, his tall figure casting a deformed shadow across the walls. The critter sprinted on its tiny legs and vanished into an open vent. The man didn't stop. He headed towards a fire door, the access bar on his side alone, and peered out through the small window. A figure approached from the other side, his weapon dripping with the yellow puss of his unearthly enemy's. The men stared at one another for a second, each of them figuring out the true purpose of the other. The first man figured out everything he needed to know within seconds and he brushed the away the dust that was gathering on his idle form. He turned away from the door and continued walking, leaving the orange suited figure pondering on the opposite side of the door."

Do you recognise this moment?

Give it a go. Write a descriptive paragraph about anything. A section from HL, or any other game or something in a dream. Post it here and see what everyone thinks.

(or not, its up to you.)

lol.

Same as WCdude's

Aux power is not included in HL1 because you can't sprint and your torch uses a seperate battery. I think the breath in HL1 was time based. I'd say the only solution was coding but then you couldn't have real water anywhere else in the map.

Urbane?

Reminds me of college. My tutor used to say it like [Urb-Ain-Byu-Lah]

Pronounciation:

Urbanebula [Urb-An-Eh-Byu-Lah]

Anyway, back on topic. I've only got 2 dice but I wanna get some more so I can try this on my Fiancee. Its fun to confuse people as fourthgen said.

Yeah, pretty simple stuff. Worked it out halfway through.

@Rim: Half-Life's CD audio was the same. It continued too play until interupted. I think that is why there was a track 1 even though there wasn't actually any music on it. I was just a blank track that played for 10 minutes.

Tried Fruity loops and Ill be damned if I understand it.

@Muzz: Using Vanilla HL. (well...Spirit)

(I imagine there will be a help wanted thread for this mod soon.

I'm a Gridsize 16 guy. I work with gridsize 1 for all the details and VM.

This map looks great fun to play but I agree that Custom Textures would make it much more attractive.

lmao

Depends on the music you want to create really...

Action/Horror themed tension music.

Try Acid or Fruity Loops

D/Loading now.

I actually want to create my own music from scratch so I'm after an application for that purpose.

Having said that the tutorial is helpful so thanks.

Oops. Not the intention. Its just this one room.

The corridor leading from that room has a more unique feel to it.

Agreed. DIII was the biggest pile of shite that I've ever played. It was ugly, blocky, the story was cack, the creatures were lamer than their 2D counterparts and featured the most pointless use of a physics system ever (seeing as there was no real use for it and all the decent sequences (well...crap sequences) were scripted.

Left 4 Dead looks decent enough to play but with a max of 8 players per server I imagine the chances of getting into a decent server would be few and far between.

A new mod for HL1 set within the KinetiX universe far from the safe confines of Neonite City and the protection of Urbanebula Technical. KinetiX is still in development. This is simply a means of testing my Texture Art abilities.

Long ago, before the fateful discovery of KinetiX in the Urb Tech HQ courtyard, a large mass of man made structures were picked up by a satilite. These were actually the upper most structures of a small lab complex which was constructed with the study of geology in mind. The base cut all communications with the main HQ in Neonite without warning. When a search team was sent out to the site the base was nowhere to be seen.

The satilite image of the base taken a few days later showed that somehow the base was still in its original location, only much deeper underground. Whats disturbing is the fact that most of the lab sections are still fully operational and data is still being entered into the mainframe.

It is uncertain who is entering the data into the system. The only thing thats certain is that the information recieved by the HQ has nothing to do with any of the original projects that were underway at the facility on the day it went silent.

Sending out messages across the base the Urb Tech team made desperate attempts to contact the original team that occupied the base. Waking up in an unfamiliar place to the beep of your Urb Tech Personnal Messaging Device (UTPMD) you read the text aloud to yourself. "Attention all Base 12 Personnel. Something has been discovered deep within that complex and we want to know what."

(Thanks to Rimrook for the great texture tutorials. You WILL be in the credits)

Imagine the HL3 engine with the posibilities that PhyX and Euphoria are presenting us with.

Combine are shooting at the player from a crude wooden bridge placed between two apartment roofs overhead. The player sees a water tank on one of the roofs and lauches a nade at the supports. The tank crashes down and water sprays all over the fuckin place throwing a few of the soldiers off the bridge to their doom. The tank crashes into the bridge, which splinters into thousands of pieces. One remaining soldier dives towards the nearest building as the bridge comes down and hangs helplessly from a window ledge. The player aims and launches another nade...

Sweet!

Right now KinetiX is using HL2 mp3's converted to wavs but their old and dull. I want to create my own tracks for this mod. So...

I have a few questions concerning music in HL1.

1.) What is the best and cheapest (even free) software for the creation of music.

2.) What is the best way to implement this music into a mod without coding an MP3 player into it? Coverting to wavs?

The game Duke Nukem had areas you weren't supposed to see. The authors actually put signs back there telling you to get out.

"YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE LEVEL LORD!"

Ah the good ol' days.

Another vid for you to drool over. (or not)

http://www.totalvideogames.com/tvglounge/trailers/Indiana_Jones_4814_1696.htm

True.

I don't like the 4th pic. I think its the track texture along the walls. Its just a little out of place. Also the balaclava on barney looks a little flat. Also I think it looks too much...well...like barney. How about ripping the face off another model. (So to speak )

@Elon: I didn't want the letters to be extruding. Its just a standard British sign.

(56k warning.)

Urb thinks about hitting a nail on the head in the Euphoria engine. drool

Of course i could imagine much cooler uses for it.

Man that was annoying on the PS2. I would have much rather played it on the PC.

the gameplay/fun factor.

Do you not think being able to trip people with rocks and shite will add to that?

@l1ddl3monkey: They are the hostages from CSS. Shame I didn't have my Scientist skins on them when I took the screenie

@Orpheus: Sorry. I shall slap 56k warning across it next time.

@Ant: Thank you.Another sign to be used in KinetiX.

Some of you may know that I'm quite the physics fan when it comes to gaming. I've read a few articles recently about the work lucas arts are doing with the Euphoria engine. Then I found this video.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2731194268578183897

It demonstrates the perfectly smooth actions performed by several objects with different physical properties. So if you are like me and like your games with mind-blowing physical special effects watch this video. Then start getting very excited about next summer.

How will that answer his question exactly?

Read the article when the mag came out. We so have to get a server running for this game when it arrives.

OMFG!!!

WE NEED TO START WARNING PEOPLE WHO KEEP DOING THIS!!!

I imagine its so that you can tell him apart from all the other barneys in the cut-scenes.

Ah, I almost forgot.

Demonic Puppy - Name used in CSS if I need to warm up. (Can't used Urbanebula and get pwned.)

Minurba - Name of my WoW gnome.

Or you could just study it carefully and re-make it yourself.

@Rim: Done

w00teh!

I have just created my first texture from scratch.I think its pretty damn good for a first try anyway.
