Recently hey went to a different BB system, which no longer takes points for that stuff. But get this..... during this latest update-ish thing.... I went and posted an off-topic message in their BB area "General diiscussion" which is TITLED as "Anything else goes in here"
"Who is yoru celebrity crush"
I wasnt even awake when they finally looked at it, decided to ban me for 24 hours, and moved it to what they call the "Drop Dead Thread" section.

OKay, I have been in GMOD now for a while and I need to find out the best game configuration for it.

What are they?
Okay so you moved it, any chance for some help would be great
LOL okay okay okay, go ahead, post it LOL!
No I havent noticed,
I would like to throw this out to the site admins.....
Perhaps it would be a good thing for people to be able to EDIT their posts instead of posting immediate corrections or what-not directly afterwards.

As you all know I'm into GMOD like mad...
Well, I made a map, ,pretty empty to test it out...
10240 long, 20480 wide, 5120 high.
Put a light_environment in the dead center of all that, and about 5 spawn points, scattered.
vrad ends up not responding and the program eventually errors out, or, "crashes"
Some input would be great.
Thanks guys

Low lag, has a REALLY nice map with it.....
http://www.pittweb.com/defaultmap.zip <---- You WILL need to d/l this map! (I do NOT take credit for map creation)
I soon will have my own map which will include houses and structures of various types.

Well, I hadnt had HL2 working for a while. If you research some of my old forum postings, I had serious crash issues upon execution of the game files..... even SDK would crash. So I gave up for a while.
Orange box was too much money for me hehe. One step at a time I say. And I'm enjoying the game so far. It's a ncie lil break from my GMOD addiction
(wonders if he has GMOD-itis)

Would she end up getting the source SDK as well? (I will prob buy HL2 and GMOD) - I want to teach her how to map LOL
Hey guys, I'm having a serious issue with server administration.
In GMOD (for those who dont know or havent read about it) you can basically spawn anything... from ragdolls to NPC's to, well, ANYTHING!
Last night I went into my server through the client, and saw a bunch of "sawblade traps" (similar to those in Ravenholm) and in the control panel (Q) there is "admin" and "clean up everything" where you put your server password in, and then go to clean up and click on it. NOT WORKING!
I've searched google only to find weirdo vodeis and such.
Can anyone shed some light on how I can admin this stupid server without having to change maps? (which shuts it down and restarts it every time)

This game requires that you own a Source engine game such as Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2, or Day of Defeat: Source. Click here for a full list of games that meet this requirement.
They need JUST HL2 correct? (so I know what all I am buying for them)
HL2 standalone (comes with Lost Coast) is $20, and GMOD is $10
Before I do this I need to make sure I wont be wasting money

(see http://twhl.co.za/forums.php?thread=15922 for that explanation)
Any recommendations on an admin system that's easy to use?

Not even 12 hours ago I registered for their forums. They support GMOD and all sorts.
Upon my 1st thread, I was already "told" about my spelling, and signing my name at the bottom of my posts. They have some kind of scoring system that it utomatically calculates your "smartness" level.
Well, I accpeted the criticism, and posted a new thread asking for opinions about the best ADDONS for gmod...
Not even 30 seconds aftert that, a big huge humiliating yellow sticker lookin thing comes up "YOU HAVE BEEN BANNED and the reason is below!"
"Wrong Section" <<<--- HOW THE ** can anyone get banned for posting something in the wrong place?
I hadnt posted mroe than 2 threads..... and ZAPPO!
So yeah, stay away from punch-em-in-the-face studios.

Now that I have had some time to tinker with gmod, omg..... so confusing, but its kinda fun lining up breens and having a thruster driven box just SLAM right into them ROFL
My girlfriend's nephew, while sitting at Thanksgiving Dinner, was bragging up a storm about Garry's Mod. It intrigued me, and I bought it just for the hell of it.
OMFG! Funny as all hell.
OMFG! Funny as all hell.
Okay I appear to be having some admin issues... I have the plugins installed. I'll have to tinker with it when I get home tomorrow. See if I can switch the maps... it's stuck on de_dust
New Jersey is where it is.
TWHL1337 (case sensitive) is the PW... It's a 12 player server.
I got the private server cuz it was the cheapest I could get.

I have been a member here for a long time now. I remember when one of our leaders and I had built our first map together (was never completely finished, but it was a start)
For the majority of my membership here, I have been toying with the idea of putting up my own server. But had an issue with exactly what MOD to go under. Well, tonight I made my choice!
You will find a Counter Strike: Source game server at the address below this paragraph. PLEASE BE ADVISED that the server name "-=SWAT=- Practice Server" os for a future endeavor I will be executing soon!

** PLEASE NOTE **
This server IS password protected! If you wish to play on the server, please drop me an instant message either here on TWHL, or you can find me using one of these methods...
YAHOO: esmajor72
XFIRE: cmdrdata307
SKYPE: major.darwin
STEAM: themajors830@verizon.net (this email address DOES NOT accept emails)
I am also recruiting for this clan, but you need not be a member of it to play on the server.
Also, I may be adding some custom maps. Perhaps you would like to contribute something fun to the server? (I will not use anyone's creations without their emailed consent)
Now I know I will probably get flamed for this, but please understand it is 4am here and I am tired.....
Does anyone know how I can ease the control of the server? IOW, are there Admin plugins anywhere?

In HL2, isnt there a console command (or some kind of command) that can be used to strip all weapons from yourself? I used a code to get all weapons and now it wont ket me pickup the phys cannon.
I know I asked this before, and it was answered I thought, but I cannot for the LIFE of me find it.

1, I see the map vault was divided into multiple sections, including which engine, and even which mod maps are made from. GOOD WORK! Much easier for me to find HL2 or CS:S maps.
2, What happened to the maps I uploaded? (the link in the navbar to the left that said "my maps")
How do I get to them?

I just don't get it though - SDK has run on this machine before - I've searched their "knowledge base" for all sorts of things, come up with less than nothing... I wonder if anything IK've installed since then is conflicting, because I recently started getting HEAVILY into Flight Sim... I have Active Sky, X Graphics, Team Speak, all sorts shrugs
(contionued from above)
The "launching" box disappears and this comes up...
Clicking on "Check online......" comes up with nothing.

The page you gave me only confused me more - I don't have any Ep1 games OR Orange box.
"Preparing to launch Source SDK" comes on the screen.... within 15-20 seconds I get a box that pops up (

Since tha error, I uninstalled and reinstalled - HL2 now plays, but the SDK wont start - it stops responding after about 30 seconds of inactivity
Funny thing is they are all updated, I was capable of playing the game 3 weeks ago.
My Steam is valid and legal, not crack'd
Upon launch of HL2..... Splash animation plays, then it quits to windows with the following box...
BOX TITLE: Engine Error
BOX TEXT: Platform Error: module failed to initialize.
Anyone ever get this? If so, how did U fix it?

Thank you. I'm so out of practice with mapping for source it's unreal. I promised someone I would make them an fy_ map, and ARGH!!!! LOL

In source, there's no way to designate a light_spot as "is sky"
How can it be done in source?

UPDATE: Well, your first advice was actually true, but you HAVE to run HL2 first, not even just CS:S - I had ONLY d/l CS:S and was trying to run the SDK afterwards.....
Sorry for above, I'm tired of all the problems I run into LOL
Sorry for above, I'm tired of all the problems I run into LOL
That got me nowhere... all I found were MORE forum boards of the same exact thing... people asking questions and getting "Hey just GOOGLE it!"
Thanks anyways, I'll just have ot develop the map on here, then put a batch compiler on the laptop and deal with it THAT way.
