in Adding music? Post #205238
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.

Ah the good ol' days.

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 :) )

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. :)

No questions. Just please don't overload the levels with enemies and skip the detail. I don't want another repeat of that 'Day Hard' shite.

Oh and I suggest do not pack the Ant Nest section full of those bloody things. HL2 used wide open spaces and a buggy to cover up how truely annoying those enemies really are.

I'm not ranting about getting banned and I'm not enquiring why another member has been banned. In fact I am prying into your personnal lives again. :badass:

Which forums and communities have you been banned from in the past? Give your reasons as well. Or perhaps you never have been banned?

I imagine that this thread could come up with some amusing stories.

I myself have only been banned once and that was about 3 years ago.

Forum: PlanetHalfLife forums.
Ban time: Permanent :P
Reasons: Got a little out of hand with a rant regarding HL2s constant delays and was warned by the admins and given a few days downtime to calm down. Logged in using another IP (College) and got another warning banned for a week with that one, and then another IP (Laptop) which got me a permanent ban and a rather nasty E-mail from the admins. Never bothered going back after I found TWHL.

Urbanebula - A unique word made up of 2 tacked together. It was originally created in order to get a unique e-mail address without adding numbers and stuff on the end.

Then I started signing up to forums and the like and eventually it stuck.

Meanings:

Urban - CityBuilt-upMan-made
Nebula - CloudVapour mass

"City Clouds" = Pollution

BloodBath - Former HLDM and TFC username

BloodBaron - Former HLDM and TFC username

I'm bored of the HL wad and I'm getting fed up of using loads of other wads to get a unique looking level so I've decided to start working on my own textures.

What I need to know is what applications are best for this kind of thing. I have PaintShopPro 7 and PhotoShop CS2. Are there any other free apps out there to aid in making decent looking textures and tutorials to use aforementioned apps?

And I don't want any "OMGzorZ G00gLe n00b!" responces because I will be forced to unleash an army of angry kittens on your genitals. I want to know Your recommendations. NOT GOOGLE'S!

Cheers. :P
