Yup. Still in my little Admin office.
Since I moved out to Knighton it is now a 15 minute drive to my workplace in Drayton.

UPDATE!
Changed my mind.
Please note the following before posting.
-Urbanebula tech logo MUST have a space in the bottom left of the posters.
-You DO NOT have to include "Urbanebula Tech" in the advertisment as it is included in the logo. (See below for logo space required)

maybe the mod uses hl2 textures because there are combine soldiers, combine helicopters, etc. and because the story has something to do with hl2!!Sorry I think I missed something. Why isn't this just made with the source engine?
This post was made on a thread that has been deleted.
Another chance for you to get into the KinetiX creds.
I need advertising. Let me explain. Neonite City is built solely for Urb Tech employees. Everything from Media staions, food and toilet paper is made and distributed by Urbanebula Tech. I now ask for your help. You don't need any experience with photoshop or paintshop pro but only the best images will be used.
I need you to create billboards and posters to be used in the mod. 256x128 images advertising really crappy products with cheesey slogans. There must be a free square space for the Urb Tech logo (already done) which can be as big as you like and it must say "Urbanebula Tech." somewhere on the advertisment. Multiple entries most welcome.
(Feel free to advertise your own maps and mods and you may also put your name in the image somewhere for recognition although you will appear in the credits.)
Cheers.

You just have to figure it out manually. If it is a single brush the dead center is where the 'x' is on the 2d views.
If the entity is broken into several brushes then you should select the lot and check the dimensions at the bottom of the screen and half the height/length/width accordingly.
I assume your talking about an origin brush if concerning elevators and trains. In which case just put the origin block (i tend to make it 32x32x32 and place it in the center of the floor (the lower most brush)

lol.
The zombines talk as well. Thats much less freaky though. Actually I'd say it was more comical. The fact that the soldier has been headcrabed and at the same time still relays messages over his radio, warning his comrades of the incoming thread. Such as "Necrotics Inbound" and "Biotics overrun"

also, i like that part barney says "FUCK YOU!"I like the way they covered it in the game by dropping the citatel gates at the right moment.
Casting Update
Ok, I just cleared out my inbox so if you tried to get in touch try again. Also my e-mail is being a bitch so I you've emailed auditions to me send them again via a PM.
However if anybody other than Kasperg is interested and haven't got their stuff up yet get on with it! I want the sounds casting sorted by the end of next week (Sunday 12th) so that scripts can be completed and recording can commence.

The Fan Ficiton seems to have lost its impact and gone down the gurgler so I've started something new.
However I may also include a twist to make this more involving. It will work along the lines of a picture story. Meaning you'll see all the action in the screens but all the dialogue will be written out. The key feature is with your choice this can either be a Multiple choice thing or not.
So heres an easy one to get into the spirit of things.
Should this be Multiple Choice story or just a graphical story for reading?
A) Multiple Choice.
B) Grapchical story.

Don't want the missus to think I've gone mad!
Oh and would you like me to speak normally or did you want a particular accent or anything?

Any accents are acceptable so long as pronounciation is clear.

I'll be glad to help out as I will be dropping out of the compo anyway. 
Post some lines and see if I fit the part

Elon Yariv (who hasn't been here for two weeks strangely)How long is it before we get permission to release the flying monkey search team?
Welcome to TWHL. It's safer here.
(sorry had too. :p)

She didn't wonder why you were running around in the tower with a rifle (when there's no combat)?Opened it in G-Mod.
Then again that did stress the question. "Why is there a dinosaur in the lobby?"
i'm a gigantic shitARGH! Gigantic shit! Go get the skyscraper of toilet paper!!!
Ahem...sorry.
Did you tell her that it was the World Trade Center? If so how did she respond?I told her it was the WTC yes. She kind of gave me a funny look before saying "Are they aloud to make stuff like that? What sort of game is it?"
I didn't have the heart to tell her the truth because she loves New York so damn much and she was in awe at being able to (sort of) wonder around the grounds again.
I just said. "Some body has made it as a Half-Life 2 level but there's no fighting or anything."
@Habboi: Joe will reappear from time to time in set scenes and will only actually interact with you the one time when you have to get to a subway station.
@Kasperg: Great stuff. Oh and native english isn't a must. The Kinetix Laboratory and the surrounding city of Neonite acts as a scientific hub. Every resident and employee in the city are from the top of their field throughout the globe.
The only real problem is pronounciation, and to me that was all very clear.

Hey guys.
As with most of my mods I will be doing most of the voice acting myself but in the case of KinetiX I need a voice actor for the role of Joe who is a mechanic based in East Neonite City. He will act as a barney character, offering the player support and granting access to certain areas that would otherwise be inaccessable. There are no models concerning this character as of yet. (Tell a lie there is one simply called 'Joe_remains.mdl' which leaves little to the imagination that this character will meet a grizzly end during the first episode.)
Character development is not as imperitive as it would be in HL2 because there is no emotion capture ability but it would be good if this could be taken seriously and if you really use emotion when you speak.
Audition lines are as follows:-
player has just climbed out of a surface hatch into Joe's workshop. Joe is shocked and a little confused about recent events in the city. This speech will play as the model beckons the character over to a doorway.
"Holy crap! You scared the hell out of me! Get in here quick."
After Joe has delivered a series of sentances concerning the current situation Joe leads the player to a gun he has created himself to take down armoured enemies. He is somewhat proud of this invention. The script here will be comprised of 2 seperate recordings.
wav1. "Oh, before you go, take a look at this."
wav2. "This is what I've been working on these last few days. It uses standard 357 ammo but I've added a little something to the chamber and trigger mechanism. You might want to try it out first. Oh and...cover your ears." (optional chuckle)
Any audition wavs can be PMed to myself, posted here or e-mailed to Urbanebula@hotmail.com.
Alternatively you could add me to MSN and wait for me to turn up.

@pepper : 
I have downloaded this map and had a run around. I was never given the chance to visit the WTC but my fiancee has and she looked up while I was running around the courtyard at the back and she said "I've been there! What you playing!?"
Its good that its accurate.

You don't use Steam? It's like...ehm, 2006Yes but as I've said before its more personal when you don't use props for all the detail. I'll stick with 1.1.1.0 thanks.

Impressive stuff.
One thing though. I just know I'll find myself tapping '1' in a firefight in a desperate search for the grav gun.
Having said that it had been proved that physics in HL1 in not such a big didtant dream anymore.

Yeah, I remember that?

Just reading through the section on HL2 enemies on wiki and came across this. Have you ever played the zombie moaning sounds backwards.
http://dasheo.biz/Sound/moan1reversed.wav
You can distinctly hear: "OH GOD HELP! HELP ME!"
shudder
I take it this means that the hosts are definately still alive (to some extent)
Poor bastards.

Seriously, how long have you been here again?Me no do Steamy.
Thanks for the links.

The map looks brilliant no to mention true to the original building.
As eerie as it might be to run around inside the towers I don't think it would be considered offensive so long as everything (especially the objectives) are kept tasteful.

Sorry for that abysmal title but this is really hacking me off.
I've started up a map in Steams Hammer Editor to work on a source map (I think its about time I learned the basics) but my 3D camera doesn't seem to work. I press 'z' and get the crosshair but wherever I look there is nothing but "THE VOID"
Whats up with that!?

Just read the compo brief.
I'm in and I've got a fantastic idea. (in my mind at least) I guess we'll have to wait and see.
The Killers - When you were young
Will there be an Emo-night #2? I missed the first one and I'm feeling gloomy about it unhappy -Ah, here. Have a blade.
Gotta love those vids.
I personally have decided that TF2 will be the best. I was thinking about it today and watching those vids has just made it so much clearer.
Cartoon graphics = Cartoon violence
Cartoon violence = Many funnies

Ok, having had a look at both games in detail I can't decide which of the two looks better.
Team-Fortress 2 looks brilliant with its cartoon graphics but at the same time Fortress Forever has to old classics but ultimatly sexified with the Source engine.
Which one are you guys most looking forward too?

Hover your cursor over the black box and press 'Z'.
Then you can move around like you would in 'NoClip mode' in-game. (Mouse to look around and W,S,A,D to move.
Hope that helps.
Oh and use the edit button, don't double post.
Oh and this should go in 'HL Engine Discussion'

Tip: When making a trailer, be sure to hide the HUD (hud_draw 0).Noted. Only thought that worked in Sauce.
Seconded. Try working in an office aswering the bloody phone all day trying not to tell yourr clients that you've got a mouth full of crabs.
