both of the webs are v cool. too bad i dont model

it freezes when i try to remove it via control panel, and there is no "uninstallsteam.exe" in any of my steam folders

lol are u serious?

k, ill do that now :<
... so how do i back it up? surely if i delete steam, it wont delete all my maps etc... will it?

P.s: at, ive noticed this too: my steam wont go online all the time this freeze happens.

Edit: ok i cant even remove steam! omg whats wrong with my pc

i didnt say 64x64 to a 256x256 wall

Penguinboy, on my ps2 i got to like mission #6 by playing alone. it is possible to do, but i agree with you - "it's bad"

lol gl with that... er wut? my hl dl took 18 min

ATDestroyer, tried it. my steam is still atcing like a complete retard. it wont get connected to the internet and it will freeze when i do almost anything with it. I think its my pcs fault. it wont shut off lately when i try to turn it off.... i did a system recovery for drives only, and its still acting retarded.

K, ill try that tomorrow. gtg now

sexy alien slaves

ok thats better :>
I would play it now if my steam would work :<

My Steam i dieing(unless it is already dead)

It keeps freezing everytime i enter or try to enter any game and it stays frozen. restarting my pc doesnt work too. help please

hunter, thats the second time you've posted the same image without saying anything. i concider that spam

he said

Holy shit!
Its out?

so i said the atcual game is not out its a remake. and you know that im talking about pc here.

ill beat you to it muzz. and no muzz, the atcual game isnt out, this is an attempt to remake it, i just hope its good

I have the original on ps2 right next to me... it got quite hard looking at the fact that i had to play it alone. ill check it out now.

Edit: hey, is this won hl? anyway, i hope i get some alien arm models out of this

@Tetsu0: fitting a 64x64 texture to a 512x512 unit wall is also a big no-no

Heh, i guess an fps on wii could be cool too. aiming with the remote n stuff...

satchmo, i taught u were talking about your mom not your wife

Hm whats all this about? nothing is shit. what matters is if your having fun. Sure if your not having fun you can call it shit, but it doesnt meen that every one else has the same opinion.
I spread my spare time between xbox360 and pc evenly. it doesnt matter how good the games graphic is aslong as your having fun, for example, i just purchased golden axe(arcade) and doom1 for xbxo360 just for fun... wii, i dont know about wii. i think 3 consoles are enough for now (i have pc ps2 and xbox360)

Gl with your new so called "Rig"

P.s: why did you let you'r mum buy you a new pc?

hm. ive added just a trigger_changelevel and info_node (and i eddited some of the maps properties, like increased visible distance and a chapter title)... but there is something that catched my eye. i had a func_pushable in my map. it didnt show up in the game in the DM mode wich worked... could this meen that the func_pushable is bugged and is crashing the game?

Edit:
oh and, you know the chapter title, it doesnt come up in dm mode, and when i go in sp mode, the game crashes before the msg is shown. does this meen that the chapter title is responsible?

Edit2:
I removed the chaptertitle from my map. ill check out the game right now.

Edit3:
Wow srsly, the Chaptertitle was crashing the game! it works now ty anyway (lock if possible)

There is something wrong with my map. When i enter it in HLSP, it crashes after the first second inside the game and gives me no errors. If i try my map in MP mode, it works just fine but it crushes in SP. Also, when i check for problems its all clean, and my compile log says nothing too!
Edit: my maps name is TheDarkTempleOM... i dont know if that helps tho

has any one got an idea of why the map crashes? please help. i cant think of why its crashing

orly? hm, the only idea i can come up with is func_trains, but then i wont be able to respawn the fireballs and dmg the player with them

er, ive almost finished my one
im a quick mapper.

(Yes another post from me, sorry)
I was woundering, is it possible to create flying fireballs that explode or just vanish when they hit a player, and ofcourse damage him?

ok.

I apologyse for acting like an asshole, and ill try not to in the future... thats it.

awws. well ill just make a message saying "Some one found the secret room!" then.

Ok just a random question, in multiplayer mode, is it possible to trigger a message that says "(Playername)* has found the secret Room" when he steps into a trigger?

• (Playername) as if the name of the player... i want the message to contain the exact name that player has, for example if "Skals" steps into the trigger, the message says "Skals has found the Secret Room" or if "RandomDude" steps into the trigger, the message says "RandomDude has found the Secret Room"

I'm in, I've already started making mine which'll be a "complete several puzzles towards a final bigger goal". Fun compo smile -

A Temple maze with lots of traps with the goal of lots of treasure?
Well atleast thats what im doing.

whats wrong with my posts

pepper, what do you meen get real? we already have darkmatter bombs (little bombs the size of a pea that can destroy a whole planet) there has just been nothing to test them on. even my science teacher aproves of it

ATDestroyer, i agree its a fake... i meen, wich alien would fly over a city in the middle of night with his flashlights on max so that every one can see it? thats just stupid. and if they wanned us to see em, why did they not communicate?

well if we shot down their space ship, they probably would be hostile... and if they attack us, well send som dark matter bombs on them

I would say there is a much greater liklihood of us not being the only life in our galaxy than an all-powerful beardy chap making everything we see.

agreed. some people are just retarded for not believing in aliens. there are millions of stars out there... there is no way we could be the only civilisation out of all of them, not even talking about the only life forms.

im not religious but a wise man once told me, god forgives everyone. even those who sin against eachother. well there you go potatis

probably just some russian project of annihilating the world... or a fake.

Im joining too 0.O So far i have a few pits of death and a few moving walls

Now all i need is a gigantic boulder, dart traps, spear traps, swinging logs, fire traps, monkey traps(lol) and im done 0.o

Lol wtf, internet is serious business!

Tuna has a life? 0.O

it looks cool, but plain old twhl is enough for me.

lol why do we have to search for them? its your map. go fpsbanana.com that site has tons of models and crap you need.

who, me?

nah its ok. ive finished the map.

aws. no respawnable crates then

so how do i make it respawn then?

with no journals, no maps and 1 shout? i see

i guess i could do that. who are you?

er will that respawn the crate?

[[Uhh my first forum thread in a long while... Well anyways, this is what i [want to create for my map:

[[In one place of my map, you have to use a func_pushable and push it to a certain spot in my map so that you can climb there. well i wanted to make the crates brakable too but then if they broke, the player wont be able to get to the spot he needs to go to, so i taught of something different.

[[I created a lift like shaft in one place of the ceiling in the crate room. I added it elevator like doors. every time you click a button, the doors open. every time they open, the crate standing right ontop of the elevator doors drops in the below room.

Well what i want to do is create a somehow respawnable func_pushable crate, that respawns 4 seconds after i press the elevator door button so that the player can drop as many func_pushable crates as he pleases. is this possible?
