I gotta admit...World Crafter knows me far too well...
There once was a Cow
Who sucked at writing Poems!
And thought he was cool!
Your 'thing' sucks
Now make my heli go boom boom
But back to seriousness there is a writer in all of us. It is up you to whether you tap into that interest. You can even write a poem on a thought you want to chuck out to everyone but have them not fully understand. Like Zombie. He told the World he loved Pr0n ;O

Haha still pretty good. We have talent people!
Well the simple kind that is...Haiku!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku - For those who don't know.
Basically it consists of three lines. The first having 5 syllables, second having 7 and the third having 5 again.
Aka I wrote this one while near the River Thames in London in the afternoon:
The River Flows Down
And the Twilight is Setting
Louder is the Wind.
Usually you write about seasons without hinting it or something you saw that inspired you. Right now it is raining over here. Perhaps if it is the same for you then you can write one to do with the gustily rain
Have a try fellow poets D:

Reminds me of Half Life: Ragnarok. You could remake the whole of Half Life into 2D ;O
Clicking create a mod and following the steps will create a sort of empty version of Half Life 2. You can add maps etc but by default it'll be like loading HL2 so you'll have all the weapons.
Alright I assume this MS Visual is linked to coding?
I mean to make a mod you need levels right? So you use the SDK found in Steam and a program within that called Hammer which you use to make levels for the Source engine. If you want to make things like custom weapons then you need to model them in a modelling program such as XSI, 3DS Max, Maya etc. You'll then need to export it and rig it and then code it in.
So I mean if you have no skills at all in any of these sections then I highly suggest you start with Hammer in the SDK (Source Development Kit) in your Steam Games List. If you need tutorials on level design then I suggest a few places but since I have Hammer / HL2DM open at the moment I am only going to link once since long lag is looooooong.

Have a look at these and I hope they help. Feel free to ask anything else.

You'll need to use a custom FGD for Hammer CSS which contains the entity you need. Google for it.
Just replying to let you know I am still here. I'll go into more depth tommorow because I have to go for now. Thanks for the advice so far.
For buyzones you want to make a block and texture it with the trigger texture. Then go to Tools, Tie to entity and select in the list: trigger_buyzone. Set it to CT or T and voila place where you want and resize where needed. Repeat for other team.
With hostages I'm not so sure...You place some hostage entities so I assume npc_hostage? Or something...And then I'm not so sure whether you place info_nodes for them to know where to walk...I think someone else can answer that.

Well he is the entity king...for now

And I decided to get Quad because even though they aren't being used yet I wont get a new PC for say 6 years now and I wanted it to last that long so I went high end. Besides I'm sure in 2 years time Quad will be used a lot ;O At least I can use all 4 cores for booting the PC

I gotta admit Playbus he has a point. I mean clearing your PC of useless files surely speeds it up since it doesn't have to go through all those files to do what it was told to do.
ANYWAY changed my mind. Ordered PC right now and got a confirmation. If it interests you the specs are:
Intel? Core? 2 Quad-Core QX6700 Extreme Processor (2.66GHz,1066MHz,8MB cache)
4096MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [4x1024]
750GB (7200rpm) Serial ATA/100 Hard Drive with 16MB DataBurst? cache
SINGLE 768MB nVidia? GeForce? 8800 GTX graphics card
So lets get this straight. So far we have:
Disable the indexing service, Disable un-needed Windows services, Enable advanced hard drive speed options, We have the programs Strider suggested but you need knowledge of your processes (something Task Manager can't tell us), Diskeeper, Tuneup Untilities, avoid stuff like Registry Cleaners or Registry Defraggers, Avast Scanner, Sygate, CCleaner, Spybot / Ad-Aware.
Ok so I'll get all those and do it every week But seriously you don't need all of those so I'm going to think wisely about which to use.

Anyway is there such a thing as going 'over' the top with cleaners and scanners and such? I only want the important ones. Thanks for the suggestions anyway. Especially the PM from Madcow

Could you explain the whole understanding the system? I can imagine what you mean but you can't avoid the horrible bugs that latch onto you as you swim through the interweb so surely the odd scanner here and there is good for it. What I do know is things like regedit can sometimes move or delete files that are vitally important so I may steer clear of those sorts.
Yeah I can imagine. I'm going to have to use Vista anyway (which I hear is demanding atm)...
So besides anti-virus. Can you suggest something else? I was thinking of the stuff that keeps your PC up to speed etc.

Alright so we have hardware down but then if the stuff Madcow suggested is useless then what do you suggest isn't? Because I think scanning for ad-ware is pretty important. Don't you agree?
Hey don't blame me! It was that stupid MS Automatic Update crap that seriously did some damage to my SP2...Anyway I learnt now never to use Automatic ever again.
As some of you know I'm getting a new PC soon. Well actually ordering tommorow now and I want this one to last even longer than the one I'm using now. Basically I know the basics now on how to look after a PC such as scanning weekly and defragging etc and just keeping things tidy.
But Madcow gave me a small list of things to do every week such as:
System Mechanic, Free Ram, Reg cleaner, Advanced Windows Care and the typical Ad-Aware and Spybot etc...
I just wondering what other things I should do to make my PC last longer. Because after 3 years with this one I have some issues with flash, removing SP2 didn't help it either and just the odd glitches that only a reformat could fix now. But I've only ever had 2 PC's so I still don't fully know how to look after it...Advice?

I dunno...Santasm or Lemon Party or something...
Drunk again Rimrook? And post something on your forums as well ;D What is it with you lazy modders...Oh wait I'm lazy as well ;O
Stop wasting time ftw'ing me and finish your mod with Kasperg
Sounds as though your CT or T spawn is intersecting into the ground. Move them all up above the floor.
Hahaha this deserves a print screen in my folder of funny moments.
Yeah I knew you were joking but I wanted to get it out of you without flaming. I dunno. Sometimes I think professionals do a good job but they can seem unorganised at times.
Interesting. So you can make custom maps for Splinter Cell? OO make some co-op maps for SC3 ;D
You mean "Map on Something that is done for you Lazy Lot" Compo ;D
I live in the UK but I'm gonna apply anyway and hope I gets a job. Then I can feed my family 
Already have. Me and some of my friends gathered wind of this day and so (sadly) revised the lyrics for that pirate song from lazy town, and then started singing it randomly during the day, as well as adding general "rrrrs!!!" and stuff.Hah we did that last year and played it on the Sixth Form stereo. Funny seeing all those faces looking like WTF
Heh yeah. Oh also I should mention it is 'National Talk like a Pirate Day' today.

Lol did i use to talk like thatHaha, did I use to talk like that?
No don't clean it. Dirty it up with masses of props and dirt decals.
I did this in Source and even though I got it working basically the train would go through the floor etc and crash the engine so I dont think it would be stable even if you got it working.
Have you tried adding parent in manually? Tis how I got my body floating since there wasn't a parent for an entity I needed.
I told him that but he wants to add his own twist Moocow style.
Well I know nothing of the musical instrument that is the guitar but I saw my friend using a nifty program that plays the sound of each string as they should be heard. So it makes tuning a lot easier. Google it and see if you find it.
And thanks for posting the names as the end. I was confused if your friend was guy / gal ;O It would have eaten away at me if I didn't know.

I can finally build my dream disco map ;O Thanks Cow ;O
Hm actually I was thinking. It was done on Zombies. I assumed they change the colourfx in Hammer Properties to whatever colour and woila. So I think you can do the same for props.
Well tried it last night. Decided Spy has become awesome again
But yeah it feels kinda Quake Ish mixed with TFC. I like it actually but I need a fresh start. I played it quite late and didn't really take it all in. Only grudge is the mod is quite demanding and I get quite a few lag spikes even on medium. Also the sniper charge is far too long...
Overall as a modder I am impressed. I think now the mods survival will be in the hands of the developers updating it etc.

From what I read in the first few maps in the map vault and the journals etc it seemed quite friendly
I only come here because there are fellow mappers etc plus I met some nice people all around the Globe. But then there are others who love to start a riot...
Besides not much to do on here but I can tell you it is a lot better off than Iwannamap. That place is nearly empty ;O

Woo you stuck crates all around the structure ;O It teases me. I demand more.
Luke-us:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz
System RAM: 1023.0 MB
GFX: RADEON 9800 SERIES (RADEON 9800 PRO AGP (0x4E48))
I mean it can run TF2 probably on medium but I just worry the new shader system will be demanding. So I don't care. New PC is coming anyway ;O

Yeah same. Since I can run this mod with ease I might as well. TF2 is too much for this baby ;< Then I'll move to TF2 later on.
Maybe I'll see you guys there.
