Jumping the gun a bit, eh?
That totally defies the point of being able to see models in Hammer in the first place. Also, that crash only happens with the Half Life fgd as far as I know.
I just use monster_furniture as placeholders until I'm done, then I use the CS 1.6 fgd to change them all to cycler_sprites in the end. The model's placement stays exactly the same when changing from a monster_furniture to a cycler_sprite.

Starting to look really great there, Joe.

Valve is the Super Wal-Mart of the game industry.I don't get your analogy. It would be more appropriate to say that Valve is to digital distribution as Microsoft is to operating systems. Wal-Mart has plenty of viable competitors.
Steam isn't needed to distribute content digitally, nor is any standardized platform.But it's more convenient for both the consumer and the seller. Besides, for years Steam was exclusively for Valve games. Then they branched out and let other companies sell their games through Steam. During that time, other companies had plenty of opportunities to build their own digital distribution platform, but they didn't. They flocked to Steam. That was their choice, and they chose to make a standard out of Steam. Stop using Windows all together if you're against this sort of thing, because it's exactly the same story.
Well, for one, I think it would do justice to say Valve STARTED the realism plague. They basically created the stardard model for a next-gen FPS with HL2.That's about as sound as blaming ID Software for the mere existence of the FPS genre. For a while after the first Doom came out, all first-person shooters were called "Doom clones".
If Valve didn't do it, someone else would have had the ingenuity to do it eventually, anyway. You can't blame the creative people who did it first. Companies observe a product's success and think, "Well if I do that too, then I could be just as successful as they are!" You see this all the time in television, film, toys -- you name it. But you don't blame who did it first. Ever. Because that's just promoting a total lack of ingenuity.
Edit: Ugh it's late/early and I'm tired. That argument probably isn't even on the right topic.
I'd say it's worth building your own nowadays if only for the sheer number of choices you have. You can be as picky as you want, and you can compare all the parts as specifically as possible to get exactly what you want.
Another thing is that companies like Dell and HP like to use their own motherboards, and I don't agree with that.
Last I checked, it doesn't save you too much money, if any. Don't quote me on that, I didn't do a very thorough check.

The 5 gigs is both Portal and the common files that are shared across ALL Source games. This includes a large array of scripts, sounds, textures, and models. The vast majority of these common files are really just the game files for HL2, but they're still shared across all games nonetheless.
Portal, alone, is really only just over 1 gig.
If you want to map using Source technology, you will have to map for a Source game. If Portal is the only Source game you have, then you will have to map for Portal.
If you want to map something that will look good on your resume or profile, Portal might not be the best way to go, since it's quite restricting as far as environments go. You might be better mapping for plain ol' Half Life 2.

I totally thought you were talking about Spy Hunter for a while there.
I might as well just come out and say it instead of having everyone find out on their own.
TWHL's HLDM server is shutting down tomorrow, July 24th. I don't have money that I'm willing to spend on half of another subscription, much less a full one. Judging from the community's activity, I'd guess most of you probably won't notice it being gone.
It's nice to have available, but the lack of players and the overwhelming ping issues due to being a low budget server, coupled with the undeniable fact that HLDM is actually pretty boring these days (be honest)... it's just not worth it with my budget.
TWHL servers are fun to have, I hope another opens up for some game in the future, when people can more practically afford one that's fast enough for people across the world. But right now, this one is going down.
Sooooooooo, yeah.

What does the unshooped photo look like?
I just saw Inception today.
It was great. Go see it. Do it.
It's more straightforward than reviews would have you believe, but still a really, really good movie.

Welcome to TWHL.
Just replaced my smaller second monitor with another 1280x1024 monitor from my parent's house, so I finally have 2 monitors with matching resolutions.
Just a placeholder wallpaper until I get around to finding a decent replacement.

It should be fixed now. There was no res file for the map.
No problems on my end.
No error logs on the server either.
Edit: Ready for replies.

Whoops, it's because I got his name wrong. It's H4wk.
Meh, while we're at it, you can take a look at the other 3 by Millenia, Stone, and Wronz.
Upper left: Millenia
Upper Right: Stone
Lower left: H4wk
Lower right: Wronz
There's matching gloves for each.

Diamond didn't make anything, he just pulled the materials together for the release. The arms were made by RavenGT. They were his second try at skinning the HEV arms.
Personally, I still think Hawx's arms are the best out there, but hey.

Sweet.
No need to change anything with my room, though. Not unless you feel like changing the credited name from "World Crafter" to "Soup Miner", anyway.

They're legal where I live unless they're carried concealed. IIRC, butterflies are illegal in NY if the blade is over 2 inches, but don't quote me on that.
I enjoy hooka maybe once a week with friends, but I don't smoke otherwise and that's not why I have the lighter. It's just another piece of fandom.
Monocles illegal in NY? That doesn't even make sense

New knife, new photos:
I really like your wallpaper, Soup Miner... sauce?http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/wallpaper/multidisplay/?qh=§ion=&q=dew#/ddk6lf
The original is 5448x2008, so you'll have to crop it.
My brother watched it and pretty much had the same thing to say.
Use a tiny gargantua, 2much. You can call it a notsogargantua.

It's a highly customizable GUI suite for your desktop. Everything you see on TJB's desktop is a Rainmeter element, except for the task bar.
TWHL is now wg.
Everyone who doesn't use Rainmeter has a shit desktop.

You know what you doing. Move Zig.
There's probably something wrong with the texture's name if it's showing a brush with the actual sky texture instead of turning into a skybox. If your skybox name was wrong it would just use the default "desert" skybox, it wouldn't show up as a brush ingame.
I've only played Modern Warfare and MW2.
Modern Warfare 1 was better.

Same thing happened to me years ago before I knew that you could even do that. Ignore is pretty much the greatest tool ever, though.
De-press the ignore button. It's the button with 'ig' on it, next to the ungroup button.

What do you mean? Like you literally can't turn brushes into entities?
You can only do that with Source. Source bsps can be all-inclusive.

If you can model for HL2, then you can model for HL1. The models use the exact same kind of format before they are compiled, except that Source models can be rigged with vertex weights and jiggle bones and whatnot.
Although, i'd like to see a goldsource-coded gravity gun.There's an AMXX plugin for that. It's pretty primitive, but hey.
Hey guys, what's goi-[quote]I colour my text to annoy readers![/quote]Oh. Well fine, be that way.
Consider this: most of the Route Canal chapter wouldn't even be possible because the levels are too big to fit within the map boundaries of a Goldsrc map. I mean, the map literally won't fit on the grid in Hammer.
