Wow dude what a coincidence. I saw it in the top maps this morning and wanted to download it too. Hey check out my thread about making a game to sell captain! You'd be great help.

a 3d version of super mario bro's 3 "bowser's castle"!Something I did a few months ago. I plan on finishing it and making it a deathmatch map for the server!

Edit:My rats map is done and in the vault. Be sure to check it out!

Alright thanks, thats what I did.

To include my wad. in my bsp. with zhl tools do I just type -wadinclude "wad name" into the command line or only "-wadinclude".

Yea I can't believe I don't know either..

Ill put some money in my bank account monday to pay. I guess just see how much money you get and than well decide from there.

Ill help out some! Too bad for bots though, I like them.

I took first place in the competition 27, something i've been trying at for years. Probably my biggest accomplishment of the year.

I almost completed a rats map of my room, just one more secret and it will be in the vault.

I learned how to use a potter's wheel and got really good at it.

I made three teapots and a lot of other stuff.

I got a bad a huge glass desk and a 22 inch monitor and better speakers.

I completed an entire song with vocals on guitar.

I passed all of my classes in college that I didn't drop.

I caught a five pound four ounce speckle trout.

I made a few architectural maps. Hmm come to think of it I only made two besides my rats and comp entry I really need to pick it up this year...

hahaha. Wait a sec, those maps look kinda fun Let me know if you can't fix em potato.

Wish i was partying with you guys. Just got back bout to leave happy new years mother fuckers!

Checking the play everywhere flag makes the ambient generic stay on but it plays through the entire map no matter what other flags are checked.

They both start on. They just start over randomly I guess if I leave the area of the sound and come back in it. So they end up off sync. And if I erase lights they are considered as entities? Im not sure about that.

Im finishing up my rats map and im running into a few problems. First of all I want to fill an area around 2300 wide x2300wide x1200 units tall with music. I've done so with two ambient generics set to large radius but when you are inbetween them you can here them both and they are at different points in the song for some reason. I can't use play everywhere because I only need it in a certain area of the map. I've also tryed with four but it was rediculous sounding. Any ideas?

Also after adding many of the weapons i've come to the point where weapons/ entities appear invisible. I think its because there are too many and i've been combining entities but is there anything else I can do? Other things also arent showing like tripmine beams and projectiles.

sooo... halfy?

Start a new thread or something.

What if one of us dies? Who will let other twhlites know. Ill put it in my will to release all of my maps or something lol.

I always join the server but no bots are there to keep me company till someone else arrives. Really if the method where there were always two bots and one left each time a person joined worked it would be great. Other than that, its just our faults for not busting out some new fun maps and setting up scrimmages. Im almost done with another map for the server though...

Add the bots back its boring! Whats the point of running around in an empty server?

Dang potatis, I thought your method would work for sure but it didn't. And yes disco it has to beable to stop and than be triggered again. You seam to be getting somewhere with the whole track change thing though. I will look into it and see what I can do.

EDIT:
EEEUURREEEKKKAAAA! ! ! I found a way. I made the fire on pass target a multimanager that targeted the train and it works! ! ! ! LIFE IS GOOD.. ! ! ! Thanks for the help guys.

So i've made a track train with "no user control". The player jumps on it which triggers it on. Once its done going through its course of path_tracks I want it to stop back at the first one it started. I've tryed "disable train" and "disabled" flags but they didn't work. I've tryed making the new speed 0 on the first one and i've even used a multi_manager to trigger the train in the first place and after 25 seconds to trigger it again. This works but the train is a little bit off from its start and each time it moves another bit which I can't have. Any way to make it stop back on the first path_track?

yea your right, actually it looks nothing like that glass in real life. Ill experiment with other textures all together.

That would look better but I made my closet which is behind the mirror. Thanks for the compliments. Heres another sneak peek.WOOHOOOO!

Almost done with my rats map!

I sure like to jump around. Dropped lost tech 2 for now but im working hard core on my rats map. With progress like this it should be done within a few weeks. I may post a few more wips. It seems like it will be a really fun map for the server..

I started something like that. Than I started over and made this.Its a giant donut that you can surf with boosts. My intention was to make gameplay where you never stopped moving really fast. I'll work on it eventually. Of course i'd add a lot to it like bounces and other surf paths and terrain with caves to surf through and everything.

Heres lost_tech_2 im working on. Don't laugh, all i've done is placed everything to know where it goes.Now its time to chizel it into a map.

Cool, thank you Tito for taking so much effort to thoroughly explain to me. As soon as I start making my real website "As soon as I make some $$$" I'll ask for your help guiding me through. And so, you used one of the seo programs to find out his tags? And what exactly do you mean potatis? You may both be right and different search engines probably take tags from different places. What is semantic html? Well I guess I can look it up. And striker ill give that a shot for experience.

Hmm, so are links just based on text used in the website? And by fall apart, you just mean don't get any business?

That looks reasonable and pretty good, but I want to start a website and make it known and popular.

This potter has a website somewhat how I would like mine.
www.oestreichpottery.com

But I would want more sections. Instead of gallery, map and home I would probably have "Gallery, shopping, info" The gallery on my web would only be pictures of how I make the stuff and my studio and everything. Shopping would bring you to more choices like "teapots, mugs, scupltures etc. Selecting say "teapots" would bring you to pictures of each teapot with a little description and price and place to add it to your cart. And info would bring you to a browser that explains how I make everything and how to use them and what they cannot be used for.

I could sell them cheaper to people I know And I would be more than glad to take special requests like size shape and colors. Oh lol didn't catch on penguin. Now thats quite catchy, ill go with it for sure!

lol. Hmm some good ideas, Texas vessel sounds pretty good. Yea I still like lonestar stone ware the best so far though. Warehouse seams a bit big for something being done in half my garage. Same with planet though someone owns that domain anyways and is selling it for 2 grand?? Haha, lonestar isn't taken yet but another one that I liked "high fire ceramics" is. Texanvessel isn't either. I like it but I want to sell some sculptures too. Wow wtf "just add fire" is taken, well I guess I would add ceramics to the end of it anyways.. The main thing I am going to sell though is teapots! Heres my first thrown teapot I finished. Its for my mom for christmas.It has an interlocking lid and a built in strainer. This could easily go for around $300.

cool, southern ceramics sounds awesome! Thanks for the ideas. Well I may use a preset type program for my website but I really have it in my head already how I want it to function. I definitly would appreciate help. Tomorrow I will pm you sort of how I want it to function and maybe you can help me decide which path I should take. I also know it will cost some and as of right now im jobless and spent every last penny on christmas. Im going job searching tomorrow though.

Wow neat website! Thanks in advanced for the help!!

Thanks. Yea thats my biggest concern, that I target the right crowd/ clients. Adding ceramics to it is a good idea to help do so.

Under the title its going to say

Hand Made
High Fired
Stoneware

Well im going to be starting a website pretty soon to sell teapots and other ceramics I make. Right now im thinking of the name. Anyone wanna give it a shot? Im from Texas and some words that have to do with it are sculpting, throwing, stoneware, ceramics, kiln, fire, glaze, vessel, functional pots, pottery etc.

I came up with "just add fire". My bro came up with "lone star stone ware".

Super basic depiction of my first idea.

Wow really? Why didn't anyone tell me that when I was asking about models. I was going to use moster_generics to make my grass models illusionary in my """dm""" map...

Well I did all of this during my ceramics course at my community college. I would do it as a hobby some more but I need to buy a wheel and a kiln. I actually plan on selling mugs and teapots online. I was even building manual treadle wheels to sell them. I really have too many hobbies to keep up with them though mapping is probably my favorite thing to do. I play guitar, fish, paint, sculpt, build stuff, work out, hunt a little, camp, kayak, go boating, play airsoft "with really nice guns",game... I used to flatland on bike and skateboard too but I just don't have time for that anymore.

Edit: I glazed my first teapot and made cups for it. It was supposed to be green but came out like this.This will explain it better..

Many dif. ways you can do this. You need to explain it more clearly though. And explain what each brush is.

Ashephard yours is cute too. But yea don't want to get too attached at a young age.

I wish halflife would upadate to include usefull functions like that. Even counterstrike's func_vehicle.

Yea create a square brush textured origin and place it in the middle of your bee. Click on it and the bee and say to entity and yes to add it to the existing entity. The func_rotating rotation speed is set to zero. Give it a value. Both of these problems are explained in twhl's tutorials you should read through most of them.

Well I broke up with my gf because I couldn't trust her and it wasn't getting any better. It would have been a year this december second. She was cool but lied all the time. I'll find another one but im not in a big hurry.

Cool picks pirate, screensaver material lol. Brendan let me give you some advice. Girlfriend= . Yes thats right, the occasional good time with tons of bad ones. Unless you get a good one I guess...

I was just going to assume this but I dl it anyway. The bee doesn't have an origin. HAHA I got to see your bee fly around before you. Really weird map man..

We just broke up..

Yea i've looked through the paper and I can't stand dealers. With craig's list you do see and test drive and even bring the car to a mechanic beofre buying it. I just fealt like bringing this scam to attention because its strange that there are so many of them on craig's list but no ones doing anything about them. I mean cmmon, who would sell a four year old car with 60,000 miles on it for anywhere under five grand. I've emailed lots of these sellers and they all send me the same basic message that there in some other country and ill be 100% satisfied without even seeing the car. I immedietly know there scams I just email them anyways to see what bull they'll try to tell me. Like I saw a 2006 mustang gt with prolly 50,000 miles for only 3 grand and it was the same kind of thing. Unbreakable its just because your not looking for a car. If you've seen the junk deals that are out there you'd know this is too good to be true.

Lol, I just thought it was funny because I couldn't imagine them shipping a car by airplane and for free. It just sounded so ridiculous.

I emailed this guy to CALL me and look at what he emailed me. I've seen many scams like this one trying to buy a car on craig's list. He says that the car will be shipped by airplain...

As I know that my current situation is pretty special I want the deal closed only through eBay's Buyer Protection Program in order for you to be 100% protected. You will make the payment to eBay and they will hold the money until you receive the car. ONLY AFTER you receive the car and you inspect it(for 10 days) eBay will release the payment to me; in this way we are both protected. Anyway i am sure that if you won`t be satisfied about the car i will surely find another buyer in your area and there will be no need for you to ship the car back. I am located in Madrid, Spain and I was sent here with my department of peace maintenance. One month ago my wife moved here with me and brought the car with her but now we have to sell it back in the United States because we can't register it here; it has US specs and everything and registering it here in Europe will take for ever. My final price on it is 2,960 USD. If you will take it for this price I am willing to handle the shipping.It will be shipped from here by plane with US Air Military Cargo so it will not cost me anything. You will get it to the nearest airport in your area and then it will be trucked forward to your place. You will receive the car in about 3 days. Please get back to me asap if you decide to buy and include in your e-mail your full name and address where you want it shipped so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive all the transaction payment and shipping details from them.

Best Regards,
Geoffrey and Lisa Crutchfield

Im 20, 21 feb 1st. Its funny that everyone affiliates age with weather they can drink or not more than anything else. Drinking age in texas is 21 but if you switch those numbers around thats prolly the age I started drinking lol.

It would be a perfect mirror but really not worth it being that the map is soo huge. If I did that I wouldn't have memory to finish the map. And the way I did it actually looks better than I thought it would.

I noclipped infront of the middle of the mirror and faced into my room and than took four screenshots and used them to make an animated texture. So the fan actually moves in my mirror. I made this texture before adding many things as you can tell so when im completely done i'll have to make it again.
