...where did God come from in the first place, eh? Yes, you can indeed say the same about the Big Bang

the big bang happend when the demention of time split from the original demention. Well, time is energy compressed by a factor of c-squared, so it has the same energy density as mass. and thats alot of energy. so between 0sec to 1e-47sec the rest of the dementions began or had split from the original demention. now, with times huge energy density in one place, being converted to energy by the creation of the other dementions(because these other dementions used that energy to be created).

now, depending on wether  the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd separated simotaniously or one at a time, you still have a huge amount of energy(apx 10e68 joules) concentrated in the space about as big as a pinpoint. and then you have the bang.

problem solved. now I just have to figure out what happend before the big bang

M_, your IQ score is 124
Precision Processor

M_, your IQ score is slightly above the average IQ score. Congratulations! Among your skills, there are certain areas that stand out above the rest. The classic IQ test analyses your strengths and weaknesses based on your mathematical, linguistic, visual-spatial and logical skills. By analysing your answers we can discover the areas in which you have the strongest abilities.

You've got a very experiential way of learning and a strong mathematical mind. You're able to whittle even the most complex situation down to comprehensible component parts. In short, you have mastered the art and science of precision. That's what makes you a Precision Processor.

For you, life is a series of equations. Your brain is naturally predisposed to intense mathematical acuity, and your understanding of numerical problems is unparalleled. It's second nature for you to cut to the heart of an issue, so that you can discover quick solutions to problems while others get bogged down in unnecessary details. One precision processor that comes to mind is the Greek philosopher-mathematician, Pythagoras. Pythagoras had a mind for numbers and, as such, could come up with previously unknown theories like his method for calculating the sides of a right triangle (a2+b2=c2). You too, can use numbers to translate aspects of the world around you -- something that doesn't come easily to everyone. Your quick mathematical mind will allow you to communicate a variety of ideas to other people, so don't keep it to yourself.

then again, its 11 o clock at nite

lets have Jahzel have the historic thousanth post, so no one post after me until he does and says whatever he has to say on this historic occasuion. and Jahzel, you better say something worhty of that post, so write it ahead of time like a speach or something.

now let me make my speach in the 999 post slot. now that we have a website, though temporary, we need content to fill it. im looking for coders and modelers, and some more good level designers. I hope all the team who reads this starts to accaully work, becasue the compo is over and summer vaction is near starting for most of us. so get mapping, modeling, codeing, or whatever else you have to do.

She is talking to both boys after she got hurt while playing with them.

or

the pearl broke because of all the things happening at once

ya, that be good, even I think the one I made should just be temporary.

sounds like a rocket fuel i found on the internet, be carful, it would be very deadly when ignighted if it was the fuel. ill see if I can find the formula again

come one peeps. more screeny's. plessssssssssssse

and I have remembered my goal of mapping a minature city that I had before. I remembered it being way to hard to make everything like I wanted it to, so now im going to do that in SimCity 3000, just so we can all have an idea of the root and such.

and on another note, I just got firefox, it truely is better then IE and yahoo explorer by miles

all progress is good...as long as that progress isn't up, down, left, right, back, quatum, or scalar.

PTS is a better name then Phuture Tech, and plus everybody knows you by it. why switch back to the one you forgot?

da atom speak.

but im already working on my part, do I get grandfathered into the project then. becsaue this seems like a new peice of legislation

isn't it where the cammera starts and such, like when you join a server you have to choose a team and model?

aww, i can't play trapts right, the transpancy dlls don't work.

[sense] now you have to deal with steam [/sense]
[question] you have high speed internet right?[/question]

when ever I run hammer, or anything else from the SDK, I get a FATAL ERROR: Can't find steam app user info.

any fixes anyone.

for a little more info on the problem, I can't run it through steam, I had to un .gcf it into the same directory. it started giveing me dll not found errors, so I copied thoughs into the folder. now hammer starts up, but gives me the error and closes. for all the other programs it just gives me the error

website now has a few updates.

huh? oh right, i almost forgot. ill finish up now

Jaardsi, I can see one of my friends in that pic.
its a small world after all in WoW

website up!

if that doesn't work

Jahzel, tell me if you want anything changed

and team members report in and tell me what you want me to put for you in the The Team section.

alive and kicking, screaming, eating, shiting, sleeping, and everything else alive things do.

it was, but ive never been able to get it to work personaly

bravo trapt. and thank you

censoring, who said he should do that. he should brandish the ban stick proudly and use it wisely.

all of rimrooks CS maps

well, im using freewebs as the host now. J, Ill email you the site account and stuff soon. if theres anything specific you want me to put in(or leave out) email me. and I can do some very complicated stuff becasue im just going to skip the freeweb site builder and make it in HTML.

and to the team, make just a sliver of the area your mapping so we have some HL2 screenys to show.

is it one of those www.srchosting.com/yourwebsitehere things or dou you get your own .com ending

just wonderin

having problems with the cammera, its one of those ones that save to a small cd that you put in it. my computer doesn't seem to want to read them. any sugustions

make him walk into a trigger_once that targets a levelchange that is in a different place(out of the players reach and use only flag). and have the trigger one have a delay.

who submited the source entrys anyway?

so, is any one willing to make a true website, or should I just use freewebs creator.

and would anyone be willing to fork over $5 bucks a month for or own address(if someone would I wouldn't use freewebs.

more chapters will be e-mailed to Jahzel soon, if I get around to finishing them.

and does anyone have a single screeny from HL2 to put on our theoretical website

unfortunatly no, but why won't the cammera be good?

you can just make a dry area under water, like an air bubble under something, like a pipe. then have the bomb site in that bouble on a flat ledge.

if i can get my new 5.1MP digital camera working ill put some stuff up

no IEMC. anyway, ill be done soon. so get ready.

and for some more info, my area is like how HAZ's was in the first one.

ill be done in a few days, gman, youll pretty much be building from a lobby area, it has a skylight so use your imagination about where it goes

ya, its still about The Horror idea. so don't turn this into a spam thread, I don't want it closed until it sets a record for most posts that will stand for a long time.

and is anyone willing to make an accual website or should I just use freewebs, becasue I would much rather have a good website with its own url.

thats why im wondering if anyone wants me to read background stuff from it

compo results anytime soon?

A basic timeline that outlines the stuff this Mod is based on, most of this stuff based of valves original story of what happened in between the HL's, the one at http://members.shaw.ca/halflifestory/timeline.htm and the one that this mod revolves around

-0yrs after HL - HL ends

-0.1yrs after HL - Portal storms begin

-0.2yrs after HL - 14.5 earthquake devistates the west coast of North America, Many parts of it are separated from the main land and end up as hundreds of little islands.(quake caused by portal storms)

-0.2yrs after HL - surviving population of california + other nearby areas flee to new city quickly being formed just east of the San Andreas fault line, the new coast line.

-0.2yrs to 6yrs after HL - Within 6 years the city had grown to a metropolis, becasue of the huge influx of people from devistated areas.

-0.3yrs after HL - America puts up its famous 40 days of resistance to try and stop the invadeing combine, call to all other nations to help.

-0.37yrs after HL - All nations but America and Great Britin have either surrendered or been defeated by the combine.

-0.4yrs after HL - Great Britin surrenders

-0.412yrs after HL - Americas last great force is dispatched, it is the last force marshaled against the combine. all that remain are rebel unions around the world.

-4yrs after HL - Combine rename citys, the city, formally "Wing City", becomes City 6.

-6.2yrs after HL - Combine Forcefully start project in City 6, the project aims to generate a better human for transformation into combine soldiers. Combine hope that humans have a better understaning of there own bodys and can better achive results using technology provided by the combine. Gragg is made supervisor of the lab in which this project is taking place.

-7yrs after HL - Gragg removed as supervisor. relocated to City 36(Huston)

-8yrs after HL - After repeated failures, a risky move is taken by the project manager, use a mutated bacteria to spread the mutational enhancements throughout the body, it fails and leaks into the ventalation system of the lab. Lab emplyees are protected by biosuits.

-8.000001yrs after HL - bacteria mutates in out of lab conditions and speads to the city. infects city residents. infected people are adversly affected by the new mutation of it. Many bodily hormones and stimulents are produced in such extream quatitys that people lose all higher brain functions, increases in things like testostorone make them extreamly violent, and extream levels of adrenaline give infectees enhanced stengh, speed, and endurence. beacause of loss of all higher brain functions, pain becomes less of an issure to infectees, and reports are heard of them functioning for a short time after loseing parts of there brains and other vital organs.

-8.05yrs after HL - Combine completly quarentine most of the city, successfully containing the out break. all people attemting to leave are shot. many people have already escaped though, incluing most of the team that worked on the project.

-8.3yrs after HL - Administator Breen cancels plan to destroy the city. scanners are converted to cammeras and live broadcast is one of the 2 channels citizens have to watch, effectivly becoming the only thing on TV besides Breen-casts. People who have done anything against the Combine or against the law, who are not of any use in a place like Nova Prospekt, are thrown into the city to die. effectivly making it the first reality show in 8 years(and the only thing of any entertainment value in most citizens lives)

-aprx 8.5 yrs after HL - Name Problem-Reaction-Kill is given to the show by the public, name spreads and sticks.

-9.5yrs after HL - All people involved in the project are rounded up and either thrown into city 6 or killed. Gragg is thrown into the city.

-10yrs after HL - HL? begins

damn, why do I always end up double posting, even thouh my posts are like a week apart?

now that I have it anyone want me to recite any passages from it

or see if the answers to some of your unanswered questions are in it

agreed, superior visuals and funner game play, a multiplayer thats just as good as halo 2's. an ending even better then halo 2's(I accually find both endings perfect for the games).

Halo 1 > Halo 2
Halo 1 > Half-Life
Halo 2 < Half-Life
Half-life 2 > Halo 1
Half-life 2 > Halo 2
Half-life 2 > Half-life
Half-life 3 = ?

and for all the idiots out there
Better > Worse
Worse < Better

MF, why would he enter his own compo anyway? that ruins the entire point of it.

well, my name came about when I first joind TWHL...

I was looking for a good HL mapping site, and I found TWHL.
I watched it for a while, reading the tuts and reading answeres in the forums becasue I still had no clue how to be a good mapper. Then I saw a question in the forums I could answer, so I decided to join and answer it.

so I did, but I had to first think of a name. so I figured that since this was a HL mapping site I would pick a Half-life'y name. so I thought of HL. then rembembered the Monsters in it. I thought about the nihil, but hes a big ass ugly thing. then I thought about Gonarch, to easy to defeat. Thought about some of the lowly monsters, to weak.

Then I thought of the Gargantua, A big ass blue thing with alot of stengh and the ability to shoot flames out of its hands, and plus you always had to defeat them in creative ways.

and so I put Monster_Gargantua as my name, then shortened it to M_Gargantua and created myself.

Then I realized that I made me sound like a sad fat dude sitting in front of his computer. but I really didn't care.

and that is how my name came about. I now use it on most HL related stuff.

I have many alias online as well, M_gargantua only being one of them. see If you can guess anymore of them.

well, my part will be done soon enough, and is not very technical, only sweet. and may look like its causing bad compile times, but its accually pretty short with my part alone.

bah, im to tired to be doing this.

fixed the problem I had with your map, it turns out that the grunt being pulled into the vent thing made my comp crash, so I had to delete it.

so now I can finally see your big machine working right...but there are problems with that to. the missle moves backward for one. but the main problem is that when the arm starts its sequence:
its all messed up, and i havn't touched it, or fixed any of the errors that hammer reports beside the invalid nosecone and missing textures. are you sure you sent bratty the right file?

und, I meant the first map not yours. but having what you made in rmf would be good because the one bratty sent me didn't work right

could you send me the compiled first part because the one you sent me didn't have the playerstart in the right place, plus when I guessed the location of the start all I got was to many entitys and extream lag when playing

good, but don't rush me. Im almost done rebuilding it and am going to put my part in soon.

now, who wants to take bets on how long for the results to be posted.

but its good to see that you have your part judged aready, maybe this time itll be a bit faster the last time, *aharmsixweeks*aharm
