Trippy...

Hm, I don't want to work on this anymore. It could be submitted by tomorrow.

I hope you people like winning :P.

Not with GATO behind me. I just wage war and they got my back :>

Well, I'm not really a traitor anyway, I got all of you started didn't I? I even sent some of your members aid.

So... yeah... You were joking weren't you?

Me likes, then me wonders my this hasn't been implemented in games yet.

It seems to me that it would be extremely difficult to have this as a dynamic recording.

Omigosh traitor, nukezorrzzzz!

Even is you managed to get that high, I have many friends. They's help me smash you and, if nessisary, this entire alliance into a pulp .

I WASN'T FINISHED GOD DAMMIT! I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF MY GOD DAMN EDITING! GOD DAMN YOU GUNTER, GOD DAMN YOU TO HELL!

*Gunter kicks Worldcraft dude's ass.

Ok, new discussion.

Who all here does martial arts?

I've got a 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

Kinda like what my 5.1 sourround does.

Only you just have to pay $15 for a set of headphones.

I just thought how awesome this would be in a game like silent hill :).

It will have you yelling "GET IT OUT OF MY SKULL!!" in no time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holophonic

This explains pretty much all you'd want to know about holophonic recording.

My cats won't stop loving me, they'll actully jump on the keyboard and paw at my hand while I'm on the computer. It gets annoying actually.

Maybie your cats hate you :p.

Pretty sweet.

Time for the truth .

I'm actually the former intelligence agent of the GIOC.

My mission here was to "infect" this forum with Cybernations, In hopes that we would have a new alliance to join the FGF (a group of gaming alliances, I can't remember what it stands for). Sadly the Game Informer Online Coalition has recently disintergrated, and I'll be joining a different alliance created by two other former members of the GIOC.
So I'll be leaving this alliance, wich would have happened anyway. my parting advice is that you might want to find a way to get more members, perhaps by making the alliance public so people that are not from the forum can join. Or you could try my snarkpit idea.

Goodbye, and good luck to you.

Totally, they're quieter, less messy, and way cuter.

So, at what point do you all plan on leaving GATO?

Wow, after looking at the screens Trapt put up mine looks pretty crappy. Heh, oh well, I'll post some of mine later.

http://twhl.co.za/forums.php?action=viewthread&pg=2&id=11819 Look on that page if you have any problems, that guide is way smarter the I am when it comes to this game.

But CS:S materials are allowed.

me and habboi want to use CSS textures, but HL2 entities. Are we allowed to take CSS materials, and plop them in the HL2 materials folder to use? Or does that count as custom content even though the materials themselves meet the requirements...

Its not custom content if you don't make it, anyone can move files around.

That solves it, thanks.

Read closely...

"Absolutely NO CUSTOM CONTENT! I have set this rule in order to give those who cannot create custom content more of a chance. This also includes the use of Lost Coast, Day of Defeat: Source, Half-Life 2: Episode 1 or any other Source content that isn't specifically avaliable within the Half-Life 2 and CS:S configurations."

Whenever I try to run my map it goes to the Counter Strike (Or Half Life) title screen, and on the console it says:
"CModelLoader::Map_IsValid: No such map 'Train'
map load failed: Train not found or invalid" There are no errors that I can find, but fot the heck of it this is my compile log:

Not all of us can make props, sadly.

Yay! A source compo! Starts mapping

I like the idea, too.

Yay for teh USA.

I took me about five minutes :p.

Knowing I will not win this contest, I'd like to make a sugjestion to the person who does. I think it would be fun to see who could map and capture the best damn screenshot possible.

Why is it so ugly >.>

Yeh, Elon has got a point. Gunter and should lead and his nation should be capital.

I'll accept that position for now, and I really think TWHL should be our acronym. I'd like this to be a democracy though, so shall we take a vote?

I think there should have been something in there from the Ratchet & Clank games, there were just so many awesome guns in there.

Yeah, I thought of the R.Y.N.O. as soon as I saw this thread. And the liquid nitrogen gun, and the bouncer, and that black hole gun...

It was LUE all along :p.

Could someone post the top ten? I still have dial-up.

So what? Efficiency means nothing other than how well a nation is doing...

Yeah, and your not doing so good. Buying tech isn't a grat idea at your stage, by the way.

Just don't start any wars.

Hmmm, we need more people. I wonder if we could bring this over to snark pit and actually get a decent amount of members...

Just and idea.

Wow, these are awesome! Garg's, dewdles, and Blisters are the most awesome.

Oh, and kaspergs too, but I've already seen that one.

For the last time, changing your position on the map won't make any difference. It would just set your nation back because you would have to restart.

Hunter, if you like Lemon Demon you'd probably like They Might Be Giants too.

EDIT: Whoops, I found the one on TWHL. Lock please!

Here's my nation. I'm way ahead of the game.

yeah, 159 strength, waaayyy ahead of the game...

EDIT: My god man, your efficiency is 2! Maybie if you joined an alliance they could teach you how to play.

Could someone point me to a good tutorial for making custom materials? Thanks.

12. A dog house

13. A litter box

14. Shoes (it works perfectly!)

15. A cheap beating stick

Were you attacked?

Pepper, link us to the nation attacking you. We might have some other nations from TWHL who can declare war.

Don't bother to buy land unless your citizens per mile is above 25 (or thereabouts).

All trading does is make it so you have access to eachothers resources, so you now have pigs, lumber, wine and water and so does he.

And put them in the map vault, I want to see these...

I've joined up with GATO, and they are teh brown team.

I thought we were making our own alliance :confused:.

But... why not be violent, if we find a way to take over the world, we can start a massive war, that will cause the top countries to get off the a** and do something besides buy more infastructure.

Because we'll get our asses kicked.

Might as well tell you people...

I was mapping for HL1 and needed help, so I googled it and found this site. I was going to be a member but I thought "This sight must be dead, no one maps for HL1 any more! its to damn old." Then I noticed the shoutbox messages actually changing each time I visited the site. So I joined.

No need to, as I said your position on the map has nothing to do with the game.

And lets not get violent okay? We don't want to turn into one of those alliances. Attacking one person could get an alliance like the NPO angry at you, and they have hundreds of members.

Aaron Copland - Rodeo (LMAO)

What'chu laughin at? That song is great (its called "Hoedown" by the way).

I'm listening to Experience Hendrix.
