I believe the Stiletto Blade is key to the story and gameplay of this mod Elon.

I thought this thread had passed away in its sleep

What the hell is happening to this thread.

Weeee...! A skinned Combustion Charge. I'm quite proud of this actually. It isn't to ugly and maintains the mods anime look.

If god exists why are dinosaurs not included in the bible? Surely if there are fossils and entire skeletons still being dug up to this day then they did exist once. If god was the creator of dinosaurs why did he see fit to destroy them? Surely that would be a serious mis-use of his power and all christians would be pissing their pants in the knowledge that he could do it again.

Another thing. They say people stop believing in god when they don't get what they pray for. They explain by saying that god cannot see to everyones needs. I thought he was al powerful. :

Your mind is at work all the time. Even while your body sleeps your mind creates dreams and keeps working 24/7 in order to maintain your memories and such. When we die, where does the minds mental existance go?

drools

Ah, crap. Damn you Rimrook. Ruined a perfectly good keyboard!!

Because he's an accomplished modeller?

Besides, anyone can count bloody triangles. It's not hard.

Ha ha ha. You got pwned by the primate.

Looking back, yes it was. No offence taken. In fact quite helpful.

I realised how bloody ugly that was but I've been messing with MS3d some more and came up with this. (yet to be textured)

THE COMBUSTION CHARGE 2!

If a doom character looks like anything its the marine that looks like Halo's Master Chief. Actually Halo was later so its vice versa.

My ideal army. (including the 747)

This is Habboi we're talking about. I'm not on the development team but I'd suggest raising it a few more feet and doubling the voltage.

Personally I'd put a player entity earlier to check the lighting was OK. I usually run a map 3 - 4 times before i finish a room.

An interesting list though. Possibly useful to newer members.

The most recent game I've played that I would consider old would be Broken Sword 2.

I wanted to play Starfigher 3000 and Duke Nukem 3D but my PC doesn't want to degrade itself it seems.

I'll get back to you with that one.

qft!?

Quoted For Truth (Internet jargon) - Used on internet forums following a quote to make sure that the first 'poster' cannot go back and change what they've already posted. An alternative meaning is that the 'quoter' quotes the first 'poster' in order to show that the 'quoter' agrees with the 'poster'. An example conversation looks like this: "The sky is blue" and then "qft".

Was that aimed at me?

Reads the posts from Saribous. Reads the post from MNuTz.

Ah, the air has cleared. Still I shall be avoiding this thread. All threads involving opinions about the world/religion/personal feelings tend to cause trouble.

Ah the Hell with it. I would say I particularly fit into any group. Somtimes I'll be happy in Jeans and T-Shirt other times I'll have the baggy black SoHo trousers and an MCR shirt with cuffs and bands and chains or whatever. I tend to dress depending on how I feel. If I'm feeling fairly confident I'll put on my punky grungey clothes. However if I have a bad day I might just wear somthing casual to blend in and get by without turnig any heads.

However most people do judge on looks and when I used to wear a black hoody and black trousers I got abuse from most people yet whe I'd wear a shirt and jeans and pass the same people and they wouldn't say a word.

So I agree that you cannot judge someones personality on looks but as MNuTz points out if you see sombody who appears to have a certain style you may catagorize them at first.

For instance at my college in the first few weeks. One guy who looked like a complete geek was actually a punk rock loving crazy-ass skater who must have lost both his bollocks by now. One lad who looked kind of disabled was actually the smartest kid in the class. Another lad who looked like a scary ass goth...well...he was a scary ass goth but they were all really nice people. So I agree that you shouldn't judge somone on looks but I know that it definatly makes a big deal on first impressions.

As for emo kids. I don't know any. But I do like a bit of emo rock myself. That doesn't mean anything though, seeing as I can listen to classical music or heavy metal or anything for that matter. If I like the sound of it I'll listen to it. So basically what I'm saying is this. Nobody fits into any particular catagory because nobody is exactly the same. (which also counts for twins, not on a genetic level but they might like different things to one another.) However first impressions are made on how you express yourself and clothing and appearance is one of the key factors.

breathe...

As for the original question in this topic: "Yes, we get emo kids in the UK too."

Never test the depth of water with both feet.

:

I hated that mod. Back then it was somthing to play but I wouldn't play it again.

PCG had it one one of their disks. I've still got it.

ehm. Nothing alike at all.

Ones a 6 foot zombie commando with a tentacle for an arm and the ohhers just some cartoon soldier.

Should the HGrunt's mask have transparent lenses?

The original citizen model was only vertex-lit, with no-bumpmapping applied.

I noticed that too so I bumpmapped all of my citizens.

I also noticed that Eli, Mossman and Alyx do not have decals enables on their textures so I applied those as well.

This sounds interesting

[/rant]

You think I'd have known that. Mind you I don't actually live in scotland and my relatives there are probably too old to pick up on such a word as well as use it.

I still can't get my head round what a chav is thinking in the morning when they tuck their tracksuit bottoms into their socks and put their caps on the backs of their heads.

"Man, I'm going to look so cool today!"

I really don't get it. Especially the socks thing. Is it supposed to look threatening.

Plus they are just thick as the thickest possible pig shit.

CHAV : "Wha' you lookin a'? You wanna smack?"

NORMAL GUY : "Erm...no?"

CHAV : "Righ'...well...fuck off then...yeah?"

Glad you think i didn't made any work >.<
Seriusly i own so much to A.I. and Romka but stop thinking model hacker are just lazy bastard

WTF!?

I didn't say anything remotely like that! I'm a model hacker myself!

I was just stating that I recognised A.I's Scientist and Romka's Grunt models.

I've never seen the others and so would not recognise the authors.

Not really ZL. Emo kids tend to prefer emotional manipulation. They just want attention. They're not trying to express anything other than "LOOK AT ME! I'M MISERABLE! TRY AND CHEER ME UP! TALK TO ME!"

@Hunter: Define 'neds'

Make sure that the beam is set to have unlimited 'life'

Four gig isn't exactly a big deal

Go back about 10 years and you'd have been shot for saying that. Luckily though, that is a fact in modern day systems. I've lost 8 Gigs to Valve (HL1 and HL2) and thats hardly anything.

8 gigs well spent I say.

Milkshape is the only one I have.

I cant wait till Saribous gets a hold of this thread

I'm booking my tickets early to see that one.

I still say the UK's major problem is the tracksuit crowd (The Chavs)

This model is just me getting into milkshape. Its my first model from scratch.

wouldnt a trunchen been more appropriate?

Me and MNuTz had the exact same conversation earlier this evening.

EDIT: Second model. (better than the first.)

The Combustion Charge

Sorry for the double post but editing doesn't bring the thread up.

@Habboi: PHL is too slow but I presume your refering too 'They Hunger' (I still love the original) but like he said its just a corpse and not a zombie.

@Strider: Are you going to give us any of the back story?

sorry for what?

Ehm...

Saco said: Dude, how did you find it yourself? Or did you check out the forums

Rimrook said: LOL, sorry saco.

The tracer cvars were something i stumbled across searching for the possible but rumored HUD color cvars for spirit. I found none, but i found these.

I can just imagine finding a planet to invade and then "OMG!"

back to TWHL into the "My Spore Race" thread

"OMFG Seventh, I just pwned your little planet! LoLz0rz!!11!one!!1. Etc etc."

Turkey: "Actually, it started out as a tiny little wart on my face."

I have no such program to view and skin .obj files.

However the Voice acting offer is still on the table. With 4 reissues maps and a new mod in the making my Microphone doesn't know whats hit it.

System of a Down - Chop Suey

Wierd Al - The Ebay Song. (Its what you get for free.)

My card supports HDR if I whack my resolution and texture detail down.

Lost Coast still looks incredible.

Wonder if they have an official website?

Its Maxis. The maker's of The Sims so you can bet they will have an official site. Anything to milk it for all its worth. I can picture a TWHL thread in the future.

"Post your Spore Race."

Ooooh. I'll try skinning some.

They look incredible.

I'll definatly be asking for you later.

Update : Here's an extremly early screen showing off the new crowbar model and Kinetix's chamber.

You may notice that I'm going for a different style rather than all of HL's grey and dark textures. It's gonna be a kind of over the top anime style

Back to work today

Thanks for the kind words though people.

You seem to be able to come up with some pretty incredible weapon models. I'll come back with you with what I need if your up for it.

Acorns (Grenades)

Aha. I'm kinda greatful. Urb starts drawing concepts of combustion charges for 'Kinetix'

BTW, is that mp5 trail using modified code or is it just a clever use of sprites?

Big hype in PC Gamer UK so I imagine other countries will cover it too.

I kinda like my new av. I think this one will stick. I kinda like the name Demonic Puppy too so if you see that elsewhere then its me.

I like the way the big estate car that I hit was a little crumpled and one of the rear lights was cracked. It was pretty much the equivilent of firing an empty coke can from a cannon into a tank. (My car being the can.)

I must point out at this point that this story is not from the players point of view. You in fact play as the security officer who is soon to become Kinetix's meat puppet.

@Saco: Indeed you did. Slaps self with extra large trout.
