10MP cameras, for when you want a statue 1/2 a mile in the background to be crisp enough to crop.

For Hunter, a stupidly low resolution is anything below 1680x1050.

The terror alert level is orange! That means any bridge collapses automatically means sabotage by shifty Bedouins.

I'm surprised this didn't happen in my area. Highway and bridge tolls are astronomical, but legislators raid toll funds for the state budget. Meanwhile, the roads are falling apart.

I have a microATX HP computer and I got a laptop purely for the miniaturization. A full tower is just huge, sure you can fit a 8800GTX inside, but can you fit the computer under your desk?

EDIT: Just look at how scrappy the HL2 coastal/highway maps turned out - blurred textures, simple brushwork, chunky displacements, unnatural fog.
On the coast levels, I turned up my settings from 1024x768, trilinear, high models & textures, etc. to 1280x1024 and 2x AA/AF. Same 25-35 fps on a MX 440. Yay for shitty looking levels :)

You'll have to maintain the illusion of a long bridge though.

in Large Scale Maps Post #230812
Source maps only take a long time to load with 256MB of RAM.

After I cleaned up my system with 512MB and a 5400RPM drive, HL2 levels load in ~30 seconds.

About using a teleport entity:

It's like that infinite stairway in Super Mario 64. You make a teleport at the end that brings you back to the beginning. Thus, the bridge becomes a loop.

Even if it's not just one massive box, huge maps tend to reach engine limits, have long load times, and take ages to compile.

How warm does your room get?

When I was letting hlrad.exe crunch away with 100% of a 2.66GHz P4, my room got 15(F) degrees warmer after 3 hours.

512x512 textures in Half-Life 1 only show up in their full fidelity if the player has a DX8 card. Didn't they get modded into the engine by VALVe for Condition Zero?

And Dave, we can't all be as lucky as you are and afford MX 440's. Gosh.
Stereotypical gaming computers are a dumb idea to me. Super reflective cases, flashing lights, noise and heat are just stupid. I want a fast computer, not a noisy disco ball/space heater.

Geez, you lot have lots of PC fans. My HP has one CPU fan, one PS fan, and then one huge 150mm in the back. Geforce4 MX 440s don't need a fan, a heatsink is enough. Everything idles under 35C.

Try this console command: "flush" (it clears and reloads your VRAM).

Re-install your GPU drivers, check if the GPU's heatsink/fan fell off, etc.
