3 hearts for 6 - D.

Looking great.

(Urb hints at possible advertising in the lobby)

Yeah, I remember that?

Didn't he say something like: "Hello? I can't see a thing!"

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.

2nded.

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.

Sorted, cheers.

Nope. Made a bunch of solids.

Just read the brief. COuld someone explain (or point me in the direction of):

A) Steam Splash Screens

B) -wadinclude.

Cheers

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!?

w00t!

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?

MyChemicalRomance - Heaven Help Us

Urb is ready for emo night!!!

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'

Its probably best off going in the engine discussions sections.

HL1 or Source?

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.

Trialer! Doesn't show much and its a 2 minute wait for buffering.

: Sarcasm or Seriousness?

Granted, but now it overheats it.

I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow.

Granted, they go away. But then you start getting lighting problems in your house and have to pay a massive maintainence bill.

I wish the ceiling cat wasn't watching me masturbate.

Granted, I though long and hard about this one.

I wish WoW wasn't so bloody addictive.

Ok, Exclusive screens of the latest KinetiX developments:

URB'S MULTIPLE CHOICE FICTION.
Chapter 1
Continues...

Joe crept up to the kitchen door and looked out into the hallway. All the other apartments had also been raided. He stepped out and turned towards Barry and Jenny's apartment which was next door. He slowly crept along the corridor, passing another blood stain on the wooden floor. He peered round the door to the apartment. Barry was sat against the far wall. Blood was pouring from his nose and mouth and he was struggling to plug a wound in his side. He looked up and stared Joe in the face.

?They've taken her.? he spluttered. ?They've taken her to Nova Prospekt.?

Barry coughed and as he did he sprayed blood across his legs. He twitched wildly for a second and then slumped into a gore soaked heap against a dresser. Joe clenched his fist as another session of gunfire started up on the lower levels of the building. He ran to the stairwell and looked town towards the lobby. Two of the cops were chattering over their radios.

?Killed 3 on the upper level.? One said

?Any for NP?? Replied his partner.

?Yeah,? the first one laughed. ?There was a whole flock of stalker material in the apartment leading to the roof. There was another blocking the door, strong as an ox. We needed 4 officers to bust him. He's got definite elite qualities. They're being loaded into the APC now.?

Joe had heard enough. He carried on up the stairs. He froze as a series of frantic footsteps began bombing down the stairwell above him. He ducked into an old storage closet as the cops ran by, their stun batons still sparking.

?Go go go! Back to the APC!?

?He went through a window on the end of the street!?

?Get in touch with the citadel elite and get them to sound that fucking alarm!?

Joe stepped out of the cupboard, his eyes watering from the dust. The building was silent except for the sound of the Combine APC units speeding around outside. He carried on up the stairs until he came to a barricade made up of chairs and old girders. He turned to the hallway behind him and noticed that the only accessible apartment was on the right hand side. He went inside to find more blood and a few dead bodies. By the looks of it a few people had been dragged out of the room to the stairs. A man was still laying on the sofa with 3 shots in his back. He sighed and approached the body. It jerked as a man jumped out from behind it waving a pistol madly at Joe.

?Don't move.? He yelled ?I'll fucking kill you!?

?Woah.? Joe jumped back, shielding himself with his hands. ?Wait.?

?Oh thank God.? The man clambered around the chair. ?Thank God.?

?What is going on??
?What?? the man was in a world of his own, wandering around the room looking at the walls. ?Oh, its the Freeman guy.?

?Who??

?Who!?? The man looked astonished ?Gordon Freeman? Hero of Black Mesa? Have you been keeping track of the resistance plot at all these past three years??

Joe looked away. The only thing he had been keeping track of recently was where the next round of beer was coming from. He shook his head.

?What!? Oh my God!? the man was furious. ?Well it seems the human race doesn't like being oppressed in the way that it has been for a century now and it seems a revolution is expected to break out in the not too distant future. We've got several key agents already. Barney Calhoun is working inside Civil Protection and relays information to Isaac Kleiner. Kleiner is working on a device in order to transport people covertly to a resistance base which is operated in part by Eli and Alyx Vance.?

?Where do I stand in all this?? Joe was yet to be impressed.

?You? Well you don't have to stand anywhere. Your either with us or with them.? He pointed out of the window toward the Citadel. ?I'm betting your better of with us. I know where the nearest safe house is. You can stay here or you can come with me and get supplied.?

?Supplied??

?Oh yeah,? The man laughed. ?If your with us, you're going to fight!?

A) Follow the man to the safe house

B) Keep on up to the roof.

C) I'll come as far as the street. I ain't going to no safe house!

Just found this. Pissed myself laughing.

Granted but due to his sudden beauty he becomes king of the world and declares all countries besides Russia a nuclear test sight!

I wish HL2 EP2 was out sooner.

MyChemicalRomance - Welcome to the Black Parade

Granted, but it turns out shite and you have to pay ?9.99 for it.

I wish it was tomorrow today.

W00t! and other excitable words to the same effect!

Uhm...They threw her out of the window.

Same here. Probably a bug affecting certain systems.

I had the same problem. I'll probably get flamed for this by try using the Qrad thats in the worldcraft folder and the the HLrad which comes with zoners tools.

Granted, but it is induced anally by Vin Diesal.

I wish I had an apple.

But you granted it. Your wish please.

Your wish mister hunter?

Ok, the other one died due to lack of interest. You know the rules and this one follows the story of an actual HL2 character you meet in the game.

Here goes.

URB'S MULTIPLE CHOICE FICTION.
Chapter 1
Miscount

---

?Attention please. Unidentified person of interest.?

That was the first time in the years of the combine over watch being in power that somebody had slipped by the immense security measures of the City 17 train stations. It was the first sign of hope.

Joe sat in his chair in the dank and dirty kitchen of his apartment. There were three strong knocks coming from the corridor outside the front doorway. Joe kept his vacant stare focused on the window in front of him. There was a crash and a series of noises that could best be described as unpleasant and violent. There was another series of footsteps behind him. He waited for the buzz of a metro cop's stun stick but nothing happened. Instead the figure swung round so that it stood before the window. Joe was drunk on the ten or more bottles of beer he had found in the park this morning. He looked through the blur in an attempt to make out any distinguishing features. He attempted to greet the figure.

?Was that you knocking?? he asked. ?I didn't know we still had a door.?

The figure slid away into the next room where Troy and Michelle were looking out of the window. They both said something to the man, nondescript to Joe, before the blurry figure slipped away again.

?Attention residents.? The over watch radio boomed into life again. ?Miscount detected in your block. Cooperation with your civil protection team guarantees full ration reward.?

Joe attempted to stand up but slumped back into his chair just as two sets of footsteps ran into the apartment. He turned his head just in time to receive a stun stick to the face. He flew of his chair and into the wall. He slumped down and his eyes focused on the living room. Troy was on the floor being severely beaten by the cops. Michelle ran towards the kitchen as one officer drew his pistol. He fired one shot and Michelle dropped to the floor like a rag doll, her face a few inches from Joe's. She murmured something to him as the cop followed into the kitchen. The officer stood over the two bodies. He fired two shots, both into Michelle. Joe blacked out.

In the darkness he could here alien voices, murmuring to themselves in an tongue unknown to him. Suddenly a shaft of light appeared and a gaunt man in a suit stepped through. The man studied Jou up and down before looking straight into his eyes, looking almost puzzled.

?Not...yet. Soon.? his speech was impaired somewhat, like he was out of breath. He nodded to himself and disappeared into the shadows.

Joe opened his eyes with a sharp jolt of his limbs. The apartment had long since been abandoned. Nothing but blood stains remained. He sat up on the floor and a sharp pain seared through his head and neck. He was bleeding a little, the warm trickle darted from his hairline into his left eye. He jerked, rubbing his eyes wildly to clear his vision. There was gunfire in the street below and a metro cops radio crackled into life not far from the apartment window.

?Up there! On the roof! TAKE HIM DOWN!?

Joe scrambled to his feet as a gunship rumbled the building as it rushed past the building.

?What the hell is going on?? he thought to himself.

A) Head left out of the door and go down to the rear courtyard.

B) Head right out of the door and go upstairs.

C) Stay put and wait until the gunfire dies down.

Granted but a hacker releases a code to run the wish thread after its expiry date and for a laugh adds m0p to the MicroShaft employee database, unleashing the aforementioned wish upon m0p himself.

I wish I had control of a race of 8 foot super soldiers to oppress and rule over all of TWHL's members as a god.

Already started writing it.

Granted, but somebody has dropped a Rich Tea biscuit in it...and let it sink.

Mwa ha ha ha.

I wish for defence against all corrupt wishes.

The donwside of course it that I can no longer take the game seriously when he's about.

I've been following Frohman from episode #79

I read the whole lot and I must say it was funnier in the beginning (except the first 5 or so) but their are some classic moments later on as well.

Great stuff. Its a shame the character will be killed of but he will live on through all of the 'Models/Humans/Male07.mdls' until the end of the HL2 quadrilogy.

I'm back but I don't think I'll pick this up. Its kinda...limp.

Well it took 5 phone calls to BT and one week to sort out but I finally got my Bband Connection.

Just thought i'd let you know why I came back and disappeared again. Not my fault.

Bastard ISP's.

The sick sick bastard!

My short memory span kicked CrystalMan out a while ago. Which one was he?

You had me at the thread title.

SOLD!

Will do when my sounds sorted out. Bloody PC.
