France assimilates, Britain intergrates?

In my opinion, intergrating immigrants is the way to go. They're part of the society, but they are who they are - you don't try to make them the nationality they've moved to.

Also, aren't most of the immigrants in France from former French colonies?

Well, the proper morning newspapers and the Government-controlled TV news programs are sometimes quite good and to-the-point without taking sides.
The rest of the TV stations and all other newspapers are just fucking jokes, though.

Mephs makes excellent points.
Kids have been burning cars in Saint-Denis for a very long time now (not that many cars at the same time, of course). It seems a very ungrateful thing to do to the country that let you in and gave you work.
How about kids born in the country their parents immigrated to? They're being treated like shit without ever having been in their parents' native country. I'd say that's why these kids are less than satisfyed. Indeed, burning cars and stores in the wrong way to go, but it's a way of acting out.
There're some major racistic behaviour on the, for instance, employment market, even here (and I'd wager a guess, it's the same in most european countries) against people who have different surnames or an accent.

I would suggest breaking that texture up into several pieces, one for each side of the thing you're trying to build. Read this tutorial for custom textures.

Also, ofcourse that wont tile, it's like 5 different textures put together. Cripes.

Those were the rumours going around when the rioting started, iirc. Everyone thought the police had shot a pair of kids escaping. In truth, they hid beneath some electrical jiffy and got electrocuted.

Heh.

Daubster: The riots are really getting out of hand and spreading to other cities. Calling this a civil war wouldn't be entirely incorrect.

But then again, media. They have a way of blowing things up into huge stories, especially the americans.
The thing that, quite so annoys me, is that americans seem to think Europe is a country.
Why the fuck should we care what's going on in France, even though we live on the same continent? It's their problem.
It's not like Swedish media would go "North America: Wake up, It's war" if some rioting started in Canada.

Well, you placed the map in the wrong directory, quite simply.
The map should be placed in [root]$moddir/maps. For example, here's the maps locations for CS and HL:
STEAMSteamapps[Name]Counter-Strikecstrikemaps
STEAMSteamapps[Name]half-lifevalvemaps

You get the point, I hope. Remember it's the .bsp file you want.

The Rebels there will eventually die down
I doubt that. A country with an invading force occupying it will never be at rest. Also, the appointed government by the yanks will surely sign one or two very profitable oil contracts for the carlyle group, if you know what I mean. That's, after all, what the war was all about.

refused to acknowledge UN
Oh right, and america never does that ;).
I cannot see how you would not support a government by the people, run by the people, decided by the people, in order to create equality for all, and protect their human rights...
I for one, believe that the war in Iraq hasn't and won't bring the same level of democracy to the people in Iraq that we see in western countries. It's a ploy to actually get a reason for invading.
It was known by the UN that Iraq had Weapons of Mass destruction
That's not quite how I remember it. The UN advised the US not to attack, and had no proof of existant WMDs.
Think of how easy it is to smuggle these weapons out
Yes, it's easy to smuggle weapons out. But it's not quite as easy to clean up all evidence of the creation of WMDs. Disposing of hundreds of weapons factories in a matter of weeks or months isn't as easy as smuggling a couple of missiles out.

Also, Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein had as many "ties" as the Bush administration did with him.
Terrorism is killing the innocent out of hatred, and cowerding in the shadows.
I believe terrorism is a way for people to get attention to certain matter. Of course, a certain level of hatred and belief is required to blow oneself up, but the original "reasons" are almost never out of pure "I hate [insert country]".

One could even say that the 'rebels' in Iraq today, fighting american troops, are fighting for their freedom. They have an invading force in their country, and they want it out. Is it so different from fighting Brittish colonists in the 17th century?

Edit: This is what makes forums great - fashioned political discussions. Don't you dare delete this thread.

You have half-life.wad. You can play half-life, right? Then you have it. It's in the Half-life.gcf file in your steamapps dir. Use Nem's GcfScape (google) to extract it to be able to map with it.

You did obviously not read the TWHL mapping-for-Steam tutorial.

When you get down to what cs is, it's really only about running around corners and ducking behind objects while shooting. Large, empty spaces makes this nonexistant, which will make a bad map.

No one's complaining about how the world sucks, more like stating it as a fact. Also, humans can in general do little to stop the worlds end or whatever, dying is still the biggest part you can put in.

BL: I just think religion is
a) A way for humans to relieve (Word? Relief?) themselves of the burden of knowing that their life is in their hands. It's just a way of saying "oh fuck, this life sucks. Oh well, heaven, yay.".
b) A way for leaders to control their population.

But lets not turn this into a religious arguement. Point is: Religion has nothing to do with the end of the world. Lets hope so, anyway.

You could...
a) Model it. The hardest and best-looking way.
b) Brush it in hammer. Pretty difficult, and will most probably look like crap. Sphere tutorial can be found on http://snarkpit.net.
c) Make a regular sphere and give it a special texture looking like that. The easiest way, but quite ugly.

Good luck.

For crying out loud, use the EDIT button instead of creating another post.

No, you only compile through Nem's if you're using it (note that you don't have to in order to use ZHLT).

Save your map as a .map file, then load it up in Nem's and run it (with Nem's setup for your Compiling tools (ZHLT).)

Well, I am not so much afraid of the end of the world but the purpose of it being lost. Countries spend billions on weapons they don't need instead of actually spending them on things that could change the world.
