actually ichthyosaur is an old myth creature...

errr...no Saco, it really wasnt. Heres an online definition i found : Any of various extinct fishlike marine reptiles of the order Ichthyosauria of the Triassic Period to the Cretaceous Period, having a porpoiselike head and an elongated, toothed snout.

Heres the link http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=ichthyosaur

EDIT:Do'h! Saribous beat me to it

Hahaha! Thats quite funny onslaught, from the looks of it, you play as a terrorist trying to attack linux.

Alyx? Sexy? heh, if you want something to get horny over look at this :www.crazyrussian.com/ 02/entry_365.php

(rather obscene content through above link)

Hmmm indeed, but i believe that HL1 is never gonna die out, at least no any time soon...

Ive just read that Half-life saga storyline website. It wasnt far off from what i thought it was, but it does make an awful lotta sense.

'On a rail' chapter was tedious, you had to go around for half an hour on a train. It was more 'travel' then anything else. The neding of the chapter was good.

Program: M3rc's Ass Modeling Program

i guess youll also need M3rc's Dick Animation Program

poly limit = do we want one?
optimizing = should we? Depending on used technique?
game = hl1 or hl2? Or a universal file type?(.max .obj .mdl(1,2,3,4))
program =G-max? Milkshape? anim8or? etc.(wiht one program you model faster then others.)

i was just wondering about these. Maybe we should sort it out soon so that if the time comes to do this we dont have to waste a week or so deciding what to have?

AHH!! The UK is under Zombie invasion!!! I feel funny.......

UGH!!! I feel funny...

BRAINS!!!!!

I still intend to complete my 'breen' map. Just not for the compo deadline. Maybe i should just make a cardbox with 'breens house' written all over it?

Send who a modern chandelier prefrab?

milkshape isnt the only one. There are tons, some free, some industrial grade. You could find them everywhere if you searched on google. Heh, my idea wasnt as bad as i thought

wow, youve been to quite a few places

im not sure. Im not the coder type. Maybe you could post your plead in the shoutbox?

if you want it in sequence format, use cameras. If you ant if for gameplay. Then do some coding because thats probably the only way to do it

Why wouldnt a Camera sequence be a good alternative (unless it involves combat)

but you don't understand what Saco means!

Elon, if that was the case, i wouldnt be trying to tell him my point on this problem. Im just suggesting an alternative to coding

haha, he probably had to stop at 100 because the border gaurds were getting suspicious

erm...no Elon, i wasnt reffering to that, i was reffering to when you clamber back into the machine to become large again. He used cameras for that part (obviously) and made the camera run at the speed of the player accompanied by foot step sounds. You could do this effect in a normal sized map without any scaling but just slowing down the cameras. Elon, i can clearly you you dont understand me, maybe my example will show you what i mean.

if those groups of particles are that close together. It could be that the nodes are all over lapping each other if they're all at 8 units height

okey dokey. I'll start construction tonight...

GO DONKEYS!!!

Im from Wales. Then moved into England, simple.

Olny if you wanted to make the perfect effect. If you remember back to Minimicus when you go back through the shrink machine to become large again right at the end, you notice that his camera sequence is highly effective. That is the camera sequence im trying to explain here, using SlayerA's mod as an example

nice. I can see why you said that you had mainly stuck to the north

erm...i cant see it

ive been to here and there. A number of holidays

you wouldnt require to edit the skill.cfg
if you wanted to turn left or right, then use the path corners option in conjunction with the target option. Use the path corners to move forward and left, and make the target a func_train which moves round the corner adding the 'turning round a corner effect' (i know i have terribly explained this. Maybe i should make an example to show you what i mean?)

hmmmm...maybe you could use cameras which move at half the speed of the player and have footstep sounds playing to it, unless you want the player to have control...

Maybe you could use a trigger_push that pushes againt the player at half the speed the player moves

not unless he splits his map up into many maps. And take a look at the college project thread. That map is both huge and highly detailed and it hasnt started to lag yet (although its almost certain it will do so in multiplayer)

Say, merc, it may be a little late to join. But can i too start on this house project?

If they can develop a womans pussy that tastes like that, THEN I'll be interested.

ive checked forums. It doesnt seem there was an error of this kind. Where i thought i would find a solution on one thread didnt show because the solution had never been posted.

Ive done compiles on other maps. Its works fine with both sets of compile tools, ZHLT's and hammer's. Im sure that this error was generated by something within the map itself. For even though ZHLT's showed the same error on allv the other maps i compiled, they all ran perfectly find (execpt it doesnt clip sky brushes)

Som im sure that the error is within the map. Ive checked for errors and there are none. It could be the texturing. Seeing it crashes just the screen loads showing the map. Could it be a corupt file?

i was talking about my sleep

with the way your putting it the counter-terrorists would always lose

you might need to rename some models though because they may be named differently.

it was quite funny

are you seriuos ? wow,I dont even know,since when?

well since i found a mod (note i say 'a') with similaritys well, i havent really thought of you as a person wh trusts me. Nevermind.

if your talking about taking a position then i dont mind. I have tons of free time.

what does dodgy mean?

dont worry your head about it. Taking a second look it does look alot better then when i took my first 'quick scan' of the picture

well, im going to attempt to sleep. But i have a feeling i wont succeed, if i do fall asleep, then good night in advance

no it means 'i am your god' i dont actually speak the language. I just took it from a translation website

i rather like the barnacles end, it looks like something will actually latch onto instead of just fleshy 'string' in my opinion its all very good. But the texturing on that tank looks a little dodgy, and the garg looks pretty cool

i would take up the post. But im not sure what your looking and i dont think you really trust me much either

if your a cs mapper then you wouldnt really need to worry about paths (unless your doing entity work that involves them) Just info_nodes or something like that so hostages can follow you (if you make those maps)

what about something like:

Trainee
Rookie
Intermediate
Profesional
Elite

that would be quite nice

Actually, elons suggest made me think that maybe we should have awards displayed beneath the Avatars or something

im ваш бог ... im ваш бог!

like starter, beginner, intermediate, advanced, expert, master. That kind of stuff

if thats the case then i would've had this problem a while back. Ill check over things just in case

its wierd isnt it?

you could have mapper rankings, like you said. Heh, general 7th and his follow generals (rabid,ant,andy,slayerA) and then atom as secretary of defense

im not sure as to what theme we should have, the mapper theme sounds good though

unbreakable: there isnt any sky.

seventh:nadda, i checked every twice and triple. I cant spot a single error. I fixed everything before these troubles began.

yes, but control over every single person (like cameras, officers yadda yadda yadda) would in reality costs millions maybe even billions and would cost the government a fortune in maintaining this 'big brother country' the resources required would be devastating. and the men you would need to bring in for a total police state would be something huge as well. 5 years of it and i bet you the economy would be ready to colapse due to government pushing taxes up to pay for it. If this ever happens that is (not likely)

And even if it does there is a simply rule, what comes up, most come down police state on britain isnt gonna be too politely taken by the people of this country. If you consider City17 to become reality, you've gotta consider its side-affects too (not actually any aliens, just things like rebels) by the end of all that you've got anarchy, so much for police state.... :

i have, i moved all my compiling tools to drive D, last time that didnt work and this time is hasnt worked either.

when i typed map cystal, i got a svc_bad. Ive seen this before. I had it once because when i look at the sky it caused HL1 to crash, it could be that my xen textures i use in the map (because they are the first thing you see) could be causing it to crash the second the map is activated

Zhlt 3.2? Ill search google for it.

I changed the textures and tested it again. It wasnt the xen textures

Oh no wait, i see what ive done. Nevermind, it should work now

oh, no it didnt, im going to download those ZHLT tools and see what the results are

alright, i downloaded and used 3.2 And i got these results instead (with nothing changed inside the map)

ive seen this error before. Execpt this time is say that it couldnt execute the command. Maybe i should move my ZHLT tools to a different drive...

didnt work, it still shows the same error
does anyone have any suggestions to this puzzle?

well, i was compiling my map as usual. The compile as far as i can see went fine. It switched to half life and nearly loaded the map it suddenly switched back to hammer without any error windows or crashing.
