Congratulations! After wasting 200$ worth of electricity, 2 weeks of computing power, and brinking on the edge of insanity, you can get ONE penny, in only 5 years, you could have a mousepad worth two dollars!

This is like getpaidto, only automated and it wastes tons of energy.

Also considering that site uses a fake pseudo nonofficial internet currency, instead of a secure, governed currency, I can somehow see it open to exploits. And that's actually pretty concerning considering they're selling real, physical items.

Milkshape is the easiest to use, but the best is definitely 3Ds Max.
I disagree, 3ds max is the easiest and is one of the most powerful 3d modelling tools you can get [Along with maya etc]

Just shows how much I read. Seriously your entire post is 78 lines long, you couldn't include any form of a summary?

I've read this three times and I still don't see how this even remotely relates to mapping. The members on a mapping forum, sure, but mapping itself?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's perfectly natural to want to look at that stuff, but it just makes one seem informal and it's 'odd' for them to just share with the rest of the world that they have a picture of a naked woman as their desktop, it implies they don't want to take the trouble of browsing for a picture [either internet or on the HDD] to see something like that, think of a teenager plastering a picture of a naked woman on his door, why does everybody else need to see it? We know woman can be beautiful, but come on, keep it to yourself please.

Of course, and I understand that, but saying that a camera is unimpressive because it can take good shots when you give it good lighting just seems a bit much to me, personally I'm not going to be using a camera unless I can properly control the lighting and the setting for what I'm actually capturing, but I guess the argument is pointless anyways, because it depends entirely on who is using it.
Me? I don't care if it's shit with low lighting, if it can pull good shots out of the setting that i always shoot in, then I couldn't care less about anything else, because I'm not going to be using it for anything else.

Sure, it might not be the greatest all-round camera, but it captures pretty good macro shots and sharp images, to me a camera that does poor in low lighting conditions isn't shit. It just doesn't do well in low lighting conditions.

Also it's 4AM, I really don't know what the fuck I'm saying.

And my point is you can't call a camera shit just because it won't work properly in lighting so 'adversely' bad that you can't even see anything in real life, but works fine when you god forbid, feed it proper lighting, which you should have been doing in the first place if you're doing anything photography, and simply waiving something off because it god forbid does good in proper lighting conditions just seems idiotic to me.

It's like saying "Wow that guy's a really fast sprinter" "pff noob is using his real legs [good lighting], i want to see him sprint using artificial legs\no legs [bad lighting], THEN i'll be convinced he's a good sprinter."

So the only way to judge a camera is to see if it'll do good in shit conditions? Fuck, top movie studios should stop using lighting rigs and should just shoot in whatever 'adverse' lighting conditions are available then.

Also this is a photography thread. I don't think how good a camera does in video modes is relevant.

A +5 year old camera doesn't compare to a three year old camera.

Their low priced cameras are shit, but the higher priced ones can be pretty decent.

I disagree with Joebama to a extent, but also agree to a small extent as well.

This forum indeed isn't just a 'Valve games only' forum, and I think you're reading it too literally, but rather he's referring to the recruitment aspect of this forum, mostly revolving around valve games, which specifically includes mappers, it's not the most logical thing to post recruitment threads on engines that many members aren't familiar with and aren't comfortable with. Sure, you could probably find a few spriters, but how many people here are going to be willing to sprite characters when their main expertise is [supposedly] mapping?

It'd almost be like going to a c++ forum and asking about c#, yes, they are the same topic [programming], and maybe there's a good bunch who do know c#, but come on.

Seriously, slow down.
Nobody is going to join a "I'm making a game!" project, do you have anything on the matter? A storyline, a genre, any specific theme, what are the game mechanics? Anything at all?
Pick a singular project already and work on that, every other month you just simply pile on a new project hoping that the previous one won't fall apart while you focus on the new one. It doesn't work that way, and the previous project always falls apart.

What's even worse is you don't even take these projects seriously and you just dump them here in hopes that somebody will just 'walk in' and help you with a project that's going to die and be revived 5 times in a row, then swiped aside in favor of something else. Just stop.

when Valve made Portal free, nobody complained. Why complain now?
Portal was free for THREE DAYS, not everybody got that for free.
You still have to pay for Portal now.

Although, it'd be great if valve made Portal completely free-to-play as well, it could definitely stand out as one of those 'free-to-play indie games' we seem to be getting lately, even if it isn't really indie.

in Lighting Anomaly.. Post #295808
You could have mentioned you ported them as this is in the HL engine discussion section and we continuously have people who don't understand the differences between source and goldsource, posting topics in the wrong sections.
So presumably a image with all source assets [How'd you get self illuminative light textures? Additive render mode?] with nothing tying it to goldsource other then the section the thread was posted in, could actually just be a source thread posted in a goldsource section.

With that aside,
As far as I know, the shadow maps shouldn't be affected by the texture [to the extent of that] and it might be worth upgrading your ZHLT, if i recall correctly version 3 isn't the latest and it might have some hotfixes to help with that type of stuff.

Yes because you already have all the core half-life engine files already downloaded it's only re-downloading the Condition Zero files, but as you've already completely nuked it [There should be no chance of any user saved settings or mods left after completely deleting the folder in your username folder], then all I'd suggest is just updating drivers for your hardware.

"A true virus can spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive.
Viruses can increase their chances of spreading to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by another computer.
As stated above, the term "computer virus" is sometimes used as a catch phrase to include all types of malware, even those that do not have the reproductive ability."
