true. But if I didn't shout at all until I had been here 400days, that would be .75 posts per day. But if you want to be pwned, thats ok.

well, i've been here 55 days, about 300 shouts, you have almost 1000 shouts, so you pwn me! But I can be pretty vocal when I have a mind to!

that's why software is slow. Use opengl. or software mode will pwn you.

if software runs slow,then you have a crappy computer. With software mode, allof the graphics processing is done by the cpu. (duh) as well as game logic, so if you have a fast comp, then it should actually be pretty fast!

I only ever want to have one monitor, because more than one takes up too much space. If I could get one that supported 2048x1536 native, i'd be happy. (lcd only!!!)

3072x768 resolution
How many monitors is that?

I, personally, like to use my laptop display(1280x800) and my crt(1600x1200) at the same time, gives me uber room for photo editing.

I think mine might have a higher refresh rate than 60, even at 1600x1200, but I haven't been able to get information about it yet (damn dialup!)

And software isn't half bad when that is all that is available to you.

w00t! I just got a monitor big enough to do that, and hl really doesn't look much better at that resolution, but hl2 sure does.

19 inches of pure and violent half-life.

Now on the topic, like elon said, software is buggy, and therefore doesn't deserve to be used.

well, it's a 1 year technical certificate, and I really don't plan to go into web design as a profession. Maybe as a side job. And BrattyLord, I've only been on TWHL for 55 days! give me a break.
Who thinks it's time for a thread on jobs? or has there already been one?

You get $7.10 doing what you are interested in, and I get $6.50 cleaning the kitchen at a nursing home. I'd rather be building computers, or networks, or desiging web pages, or something. (After I finish my college classes this year, though, i'll be able to do web design as a business!)

Consider yourself lucky, especially at this time in your life! Most teenagers do not get the chance do do a job that they kinda like.

in Moving Ladder Post #137675
Mr.Frag that will need a lot of work with func_wall_toggles and it wont be perfect.
I don't think you get what i'm saying. I'll make an example map, and show you what I mean. But if you want to do it with spirit, and if you could, why not? It sounds like the sort of mod that everyone should have, anyway.

in Moving Ladder Post #137594
would work! Depends on the context, though. if the point was to try to jump onto a moving ladder, then that wouldn't work. If you needed to jump onto a moving ladder, you have a func_train with a ladder texture brush and 2 clip brushes, and a wide invisible ladder. If you try to jump onto the ladder and hit the clip brushes, it won't work, but if you make it between them, you'll hit the func_ladder, and be pushed back and forth by the 2 clip brushes.

Note that this is not tested, and therefore not guaranteed by me. If you don't understand it, pm me and i'll post an example map.

software mode, I believe, was only included in half-life as a "last resort" for those people whose computers sucked so much that they didn't have a compatible video card,. (like my first half-lifing computer. I beat the game on that computer with cheats!)

btw, I can't do voice acting, unless you're absolutely desparate.
run it @ 1024x768
It looks better in 1600x1200, but runs like crap.

I've been trying to make lab-related type stuff, what sort of things do you need? Do you want stuff that's just pretty to look at, stuff that the player can use, or things that can actually hurt the player?

I think that Fragmeister is ~13 - 16, he doesn't play HL too much, he's interested in mapping, but he didn't finish any maps yet.
I've finished maps! Just a few, though, and no good ones. I really don't have the time right now to put into good maps (school.)
I think this thread is just going to turn into a flamefest with lots of 1337 kids calling each other gay a lot.

jimmi/onslaught/mr.plod... - dumb@$$ 13-or-so year old, really bored
Dorian27 - college graduate computer geek (in a good way :) )
Atom, ant, 7th - professional web page designer/coder
Tosse - bored swedish dude
Ansith - bored australian dude
zl - kid who likes to map 4 hl and generally contribute to the site

What do you think of me (and other people?)
