Wow! Thanks man! You rock way tooo HARD! Wow!

Hey, potatis_invalido is my magic code-man. He was able to make a weapon_ak47 entity, weapon_chainsaw entity, and a weapon_hammer entity. He also changed the color of the text and added a pedometer-like thing where u cant die by being shot in the feet, but you become really slow.

I'm thinking a modified voltigore model might work here. The head would have to be totally redone, though

Not only the head, but the legs, the little tentacles sticking out of him, needs to be smaller, legs need LOOOOOONGER, needs long claw hands, head needs to be connected to stomach, cant have a tail or have a shell.

Does this have two legs or four?

Eight, reffered to as monster_spider.

How does I make it an item_suit, besides, I want it to be organic.

I see that alot in mods.

This won't just be your average mod, I want it to be OP4-worthy kinda perfect or at least Blue Shift worthy (even though that mod sucked).

LYDA IS DIFFERENT! Nothing like the snap bugs! It wears a big metal diaper-thing and had scales and gills and claws! Also, it could be refered to as monster_spider.

Heres da thing tho: LYDA IS LARGE AND FAST AND HAS ALL THESE WEIRD ANIMATIONS I GIVE HIM/HER, and trust me, more concept art may be acomin.

Hey! It's my first try at concept art and it looks weird!

Theoretical Disaster is currently looking for modellers who can map organic things, such as aliens or the needed labcoat model. I have been inspired by Mist of Stagnation and decided to try making some concept art.

What do you think of this?This is Lyda, the character the player fights at the ending chapter: "Lyda's Lair". This will be the first organic material. Below will be the needed animations.
Idle1 Just standing there, stumbling a little.
Idle2 Like Idle1, only scratches self with leg, looks odd.
Idle3 Trips a bit, stands around.
Jump Does a large jump and spreads apart legs.
Die Stumbles over and opens mouth very large, then falls to ground.
Dead Dead.
Strike1 Uses one hand to strike player.
Strike2 Uses both hands to strike player.
Shock Opens hand and strikes lightning.
Teleport Opens hand and gives the animation of an alien spawning.
Runslow runs as fast as player
Runfast Runs as fast as lightning.

The second project is the much needed labcoat model. There is no concept art for this.
All that the model needs to be is a scientist edited so that his labcoat just sits there, also the labcoat buttoned up.

Who thinks they're up for it?

I can't find any of my leaks, let me show u what happened when I ran my map.

A LEAK is a hole in the map, where the inside of it is exposed to the

indication of where the beginning of the leak pointfile starts, so the
beginning of the line can be quickly found and traced to until reaching the
outside. Unless this entity is accidentally on the outside of the map, it
probably should not be deleted. Some complex rotating objects entities need
their origins outside the map. To deal with these, just enclose the origin

Get real and grow up!

I'm still youth! Lemme stay unreal... if I work with the Unreal engine.... can I make money?

i have audcity, how do I convert it so it can make scripted sentences.

not much, I've had to stay home with my grandma and grandpa, this computer doesnt have hammer. I should be able to get back on my regular PC soon.

Congratualtions, you have won the flame war.

All this from "I can't map for source, for some reason the hammer freezes before I can do anything."

I will be the judge!

Does anybody know a good audio converter so I can edit my mod's placeholders? So far, ive just been using the one on HLDJ and it sucks.

Well, I find joy in mapping for Goldsource. All the props in the game are the ones I design, not from a list of props from "City 17" or "Labs".

Can I plox stick to goldsource?

And one question: If I found a way to compile GCF files and put all HL content + my content and make it into a real game?

Exactly: I can't map for source.

I can't map for HL2, source SDK has too many bugs. I literally can't, my hammer freezes every 5 seconds.

TFC

I can name one easily: Sven Coop

I have 3 years before highschool
don worry.

Well, the mod is singleplayer and multiplayer. All great mods are, just look at OP4.

People of TWHL:
This weekend and part of next week, I will be working on the deathmatch areas of Theoretical Disaster. I've started working on a few maps, and now I'm looking for artists. Click below for one of the deathmatch models, I'm looking for an artist who can give them a good pic when in the menu.
http://www.qfpost.com/download.do?get=3dbb3403e22defb1d346f3fa8d511215

Theoretical Disaster's moddb has now been created!

http://www.moddb.com/games/half-life-theoretical-disaster

Yeah, well the thing is that you can edit it and say "Are you sure? Read it again" and they'll go "Oh!"

Come on! Let us delete it!

See, since I can't delete either of these two posts, it's considered doubleposting!

The best way is to do this.

I love kittens. Can somebody buy me one?

I downloaded the photoshop.

How the heck do I use it?

urbys lame, archie steals phones.

Just go to Google Translate guys, and click "Detect Language : English"

You guys keep repeating crap.
I think this guy on Hole in the Wall is retarted.
I like my signs the way they are.
Get off my back! I havent gotten to the details, I'm, just doing the main areas!

One large sentence \/

If im a little 11-year-old boy who made some sign textures on paint and it doesnt look so bad and I edited a model of each of the characters to give them a goatee and make them look old AND gather a team to make a modination of the game half-life AND say "This kid on Hole in the Wall is retarted!" because he was my age and said " They call me the nerd because I get good grades in school and I invented technology!! Hurp a Derp, heheh!" AND make my own Greatest Hits CD featuring me playing Marry Had a Little Lamb AND can easily beat FFX AND make a map that gives that old c1a0 feeling, you should be able to explain things easier to me.

Actually, 2012's "The End of the World" will happen in december, so it'll be closer to the 2013 Happy New Year.

Besides, 2012 cant come then. The bible said it would come like a thief in the night, and we're all expecting this.

No. I'm running it on a computer. I run it in fullscreen. I left it to it's default size. I think it's fine. Do ya like waffles?

I usually export textures from hl.wad so that when I edit it, I alread have a legit size and a good texture to work from.

I just got GIMP 2, its awesome!
I'm editing a picture of monkey juggling.

....which would be more embarrasing?

Photoshop costs money.

The signs are way too thick. The desk could also use some work to make it look more like a desk and less like a block.

The map is sorta beta, I haven't added any details yet.

They were done in paint.....

Even newer screenies! I decided to compare the training map beginning and a part in the chapter 1 map. You get hired when the materials handling facility is first built.

GameTraining

Reinstallation didnt work, WHAT ELSE WILL!?

Every time I try to load hammer, I can map for like 10 seconds and then it freezes. This is on source sdk, and I'm not sure what's wrong.

I wish to propose some ideas:

1: A bomb map
It could be a map where the two teams have to construct some type of bombs by getting correct materials from a scrapyard. It would be awesome if a player could get some type of tools to be able to construct from materials, and if you could dismantle parts from the enemy team's bomb and construct it to yours. Also, you could make some corrupt materials that you cant tell the difference from, causing the bomb to not work. Once the bombs work, the team could find a way to launch it, destroying the enemy bases in a fiery explosion that would be a better site to see than the bomb maps in Team Fortress 2.

2: An escape map
By an escape map, I do not mean the type where you would go through places like in HL1 or in HL2. I mean where you try to escape on a rocket and be able to leave the dreaded planet of war. It could start out with a briefing as to where: "Your rocket is prepared... Wait, an unexpected error has happened! You must head to the abandonded safehouse in the depths of the battlefield to salvage enough fuel to complete our mission." Much like the bad materials in the bomb map, it could have tainted or something wrong with the fuel, and it would also take many tanks of fuel. The first team to fill it with fuel will get to see the inside of the rocket and run around, and look out the window as they blast off watching their enemies below them.

3: An all-out war map

A map with bombs, lazers, and weapons that you construct. It could be a mixture of everything, and it would be interesting if the teams could create robots (NPCs) to destroy the enemy team.

Watcha think?

Looks really cool, i could be a mapper.

Well, you could try to carve out some of them and then set them to seperate heights on a scale to 1-3 so that it looks jagged.

Well, you guys wanted them, so I made them. SCREENIES! I'll do what I have so far of my beginning map, I tried to give it that old C1A0 feeling.

So I've come through the tram ride and I'm being greeted by the security guard, I better get to work!Where do I work again? Let me check the directory....Oh yes, that reminds me! I better get to the lounge! Perhaps I shall get a soda first....Here I am, I should get to my locker now. (Which is openable, but I didn't screenshot it.)Well, I've made it to work, and I see the readings we recieved of the specimen... Should I send it to Dr. Green and Dr. Cross?I take it I shouldn't have....This sucks....

manipulate source materials

This is where I stopped. You can't mind control source materials, they're just a bunch of 0s and 1s that make pixels, and the pixels make colors, and the colors make a fake texture on a computer. It's really advanced stuff to manipulate those, so I'm just gonna step back.

ok, but lets do it on new forum post, I'll get some screenshots.

I just got bored cuz right now im on a comp. at my granparents and they dont have any games.

yes, it is

Hey, I'm looking for people who can make billboards much like this?Who can help me? 1 is fine, 2 is cool, might have room for 3, and 4..... hall of TD fame.
