okay, then forget everything that I posted

heh, I was kidding Sir Monkey...

Tosse, don't do what I said.

You cannot make it "blinding" persay without coding, but a version of Source is coming out soon that does imitate eye adjustment.

I'd use the color called +0~white. It has additive nature programmed into it...

Or, you could use the normal white and make it a func_wall_toggle, then play with the effects...

As for light rays:

Just make a texture gradient, and make a brush coming from the window. Then, tie the brush to a fuch_wall, and render it with "texture", then make the value to 50 or something.

I believe there is an example map explaining light rays...

Good luck...

[EDIT]
AHH!! Captain! You beat me too it... This was refering to HL1 btw...

I wish I had a trophy...

Er, what image manipulation program are you using, Paintbrush?

MS paint for you information

in your dreams!

When is this planned to be release BTW?

I'm using Firefox right now, and it takes much longer to load a page...

actually, bunning hopping is based on the code where if you jump while strafing, you go faster than just walking forward, so you can jump-strafe-crouch to the side while going forward...

Anyway, Mario:

I forget exactly where, but there is an area, I believe in one of the underground levels with the awesome boogie music, where you can break a certain ammount of bricks, then jump up into a small crack as big Mario, duck in air, and turn to the left. What you get is Mario, standing upright and facing left with the walking animation, going to the right so it resembles moonwalking.

It doesn't gain anything, but its fun to do...

You say that Bush is stupid,

Then you say hes behind some kind of giant consiracy theory?

if he is in fact stupid, I wouldn't find him capable of coming up with that kind of a evil conspiracy plot.

oh, and ZL,

Yes, you are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, but that does not prevent incarceration, just long term incarceration. Besides, it is considered a time of war in Iraq. I'd rather have someone thrown in jail who MIGHT not be a terrorists that have someone who probably is a terrorists loose on the streets. Why else would we imprison these people unless we thought it was unsafe for the citizens of Iraq?

besides, we are training their police forces as we speek, and yes, they are developing their own free government.

Bullets will not go through more one brush, right?

So, Make all your walls and such with two brushes.

OR!!!

Copy everthing, and paste it right back over the origional spot.

I support the Partiot Act,

Yes, it does take some freedoms away from the American people, but personally I am willing to give up those freedoms in order to prevent an event like 9/11 from happening again.

Besides,
Check my Apartment, my Car,

I have nothing to hide

HURRY UP!!! MY GOD HURRY UP!!!!

Who remembers Moon Walking in the origional Mario for Nintendo?

so I take it you have no evidence...

Well, it can be used for that Ant, but it actually makes the player move a lot faster.

ahh... I remember good ol' bunny hopping...

um... no...

(example?)

Im sticking with IE obviously...

I haven't found anything wrong with it yet, nor have I had a problem.

(...I have noticed that such sites as www.yahoo.com seems to try and discourage IE use...)

Wow, Great!

I'd use that!

Of course, it would be hard to tell which color was TRUE white and TRUE black, as when you are creating the texture, you might have the color be something like 0 0 1, and it would be somewhat visible, creating a square effect around it.

Thats a great Idea, all the power too ya if you can figure it out.

We aren't going to change our governmental system from Democracy in order to suffice to Bin Laden. This is the land of the free, and we would never stoop to treat people like they do... Everyone has a say here, and thats the way it should be.

Once you let the terrorists know they can get something out of you, they will keep asking for more and more. Notice how Hitler was able to take over such a large ammount of land before Britain declared war on them...

If the powers of Europe were to engage Hitler early, instead of letting him take Chez and Poland, America might not of even had to interfer with events, as you so rudley pit it.

Why wait till Rhin, Kill the Bastard!

Some of those camping spots looked real, but I don't believe the bunny hopping...

republicans are either rich, greedy capitalists with no conscience or texans with no idea what's going on

I vote Republican, and I'm a Geeky Artistic Eccentric dude who lives in Chicago.

not quite. the world is jelous of our success, as our average person is clearly less than perfect, yet we remain the world superpower.

And to be clear, most brilliant minds seperate themselves from politics, but in the end they vote Republican due to the economic policies. The Brilliant minds here are rich, and rich people don't want to give all their money away to people who didn't earn it.

Well, good luck to you all.

I want to see a good thing finished for once...

I did a little experiment:

I went around the streets of Chicago and polled random people about some basic Question. My results were VERY interesting.

Where did America fight the American Revolution?

"I don't know... France?"
"Oh, Germany..."

Tell me Something about Mongolia:

"Well, They send Chinease people there..."
"uh.. its a desert in Africa"
"Three people on horses in the middle of a desert"

Who wrote "Common Sense" as a protest to English Colonialism?

"Rosevelt?"
"Jefferson?"

Explain the government of England:

"They have a king still, right?" (Well, ya do.. )
"umm... Anarchy?"

To be perfectly honest, most people I asked answered the questions correctly, even the "Common Sense" question (Which was Thomas Paine). I just wanted to share with you some of the humourously wrong answers

Yes, there are many ignorant people here in America, even about our own history... But of course, we have many educated people aswell.

I find Interent Explorer much faster than Firefox when I am surfing the web,

ALTHOUGH,

I use FireFox when I decided to play Chess on Yahoo or something. It seems to be more efficent when I'm actually using some kind of Java Applet.

So, I use both FireFox and Internet Explorer for different uses.

Thanks for the info

fool! thats the Third Rule of Life:

"Never believe anything Jahzel says"

Of course they aren't related...

heh, I still remember Conan:

"she remarked that ' George Bush is the most brilliant man I have ever met'. The entire quote was; ' George Bush is the most brilliant man I have ever met who still eats paste' "

Oh dear...

Comon guys!!

I think I'm gonna cry! I want to play it! It looks so good in production!
(Cept for those silly plants everywhere)

Not everything in this country revolves around foreign policy PTS.

besides, John Kerry, the man running against Bush, Really had no idea about foreign policy. He pretty much wanted to avoid it as much as possible, and never really gave a straight answer about anything.

The reason I believe Bush was re-elected was due to the fact that his opponent was a complete idiot. I know, I've met with John Kerry and John Edwards (Running for Vice President). They had no idea what they were getting into.

Hurry up and finish hostage situation. You said it'd be finished January...

sooooo overdo.... almost as much as TWHLmix2!

I don't care about anything there except speed, and I find it faster than FireFox when loading regular web pages.

Meh, I'm going to scratch it...

The idea sucks anyway...

I have a much more HalfLifeish idea in store;

Also, Mr. Alex,
You could delete this thread if ya wanted...

Just a suggestion; You could make it a low gravity server. It would work great for rats maps.

...And I'll be there to protest it with pretty signs and crucefixes.

I don't see anything wrong with Interent Explorer... It works fine for me.

I'm pretty sure Alex would like to list hundreds of reasons why not to use interent explorer...

Can I have some:

I'll just comment on the most dumbass thing I saw above concerning Americans blindly following their leader:

Yet you are still at war and area bout to enter another war (with Iran), therefor the majority of the people actually WOULD go along with anything.

What you said has no evidence, and is obviously wrong. If you lived here, you'd realize that a majority of the people critisize the government. It seems to be what our country is all about these days, critisizing our leaders. Yes, this is how we origionally started, but saying that the majority of people here would go along with anything is completely ignorant.

The irony of this situation; you constantly spit off random conjectures about things you don't even understand, yet you call us ignorant.

Someone who lives here knows more about this country than you, as strange as that sounds...

PTS, I really haven't seen you say anything remotely intelligent, which obviously does not give you the right to condem others.

Seventh on the other hand seems an extremely intelligent fellow, which actually forces me to contemplate his ideas and opinions.

Good day.

is the .BSP file generated in the correct folder?
The .MAP is not generated in the same area as the .BSP, the .BSP is generated in the folder specified in "Place compiled maps before running"

http://twhl.co.za/wheretogo.php

Read all of this first.

No, that's totaly wrong, because people are generally stupid (I say ALL people here, not just americans)

See! heres something we can all agree on!

Everyone is stupid; except us Geeks!

all that said was just to try to measure up to Joba's post.

That post was simply a retort to Jobabob.

Dude, Jobabob is rarely serious, get that through your head.

If ANYONE is being serious anymore, Please Tell, cause I stopped a while ago.

heh, I fucked up.

yep, those all American Hillbillies' smiles resemble a picket fence.

Smile:

Despite our average weight, I'm not a fatty. I work out every day... Yes, EVERY DAY! I eat healthy foods, and I'm dashingly handsome. My teeth are pearly white, and straight as my sexual preference.

Yeah, we have fatties here. Chicago, my hometown, I believe has just moved up to 3rd fattest city in the world. I believe Dallas, Texas is still unlucky number 1.

Ironically, we also have those freakfuck anerexics and belemics (God my spelling is off). One of those Olsan twins almost kicked the bucket a few months ago. Pretty sad, since it'd ruin the other twin's carrer. Sucks because now they both aren't hot anymore.

That looks great!

Makes me wish we had some nice architecture here in the US... Too bad we don't have a long history.

I like the garden in the first one; That'd be fun to do.

Also I love when americans say they saved Britain in the war, I always point out that it would've been nice if they hadn't sat back till they were forced into the war by Japan before realising you cant be totally isolated from the rest of the world.
and dont say it doesnt matter who did what, IT ALL MATTERS THIS THREAD IS THE DEBATE THAT WILL END ALL DISCUSSION ON AMERICA VS UNITID KINGDUM

I have nothing against the UK. You have Mr. Bean and Fawlty Towers.

... Though I would never move there due to a new job... as "free dental plan" really doesn't mean anything over there.

Luke, I believe that was either John Jocke or Thomas Hobbes...

as to those who stereotype Americans:

He that judges without informing himself to the utmost that he is capable, cannot acquit himself of judging amiss.

• John Locke

Unbreakable, you don't have steam?

Haha, lunatic conspiracy. Clever people, remarkably, believe in progress. It's strange, that.

I cannot understand what you are saying. Can you reword that without using fragments?

UNSPEAKABLY... incompetent is your government that you cannot evacuate or police a relatively tiny area of your own country without assistance? The United States of America, which you yourself just called a superpower. It's absolutely appauling. George Bush & Co. failed dreadfully, leading to however many deaths. Quite incredible.

Obviously if an entire city sinks, there are going to be deaths. I don't see what went wrong in the evacuation... You say that President Bush did something wrong... What did he do wrong?

What? "Europe is lazy ignorant lefty morons"? Inocrehent?

"Europeans are lazy ignorant lefty morons"
"Europe has lazy ignorant lefty morons"
"Europe is full of lazy ignorant lefty morons"
"The population of Europe consists of lazy ignorant lefty morons"

see how that worked?
Conjugating...

Ah, I see, those who believe in freedom naturally don't work.

um.. no.

Statistically, nearly everyone who recieves a welfare check votes Democrat. Getting a welfare check means you do not work.

I don't want my tax money going to a bunch of lazy no-goods. People should get what they earn, not what I earn.

You do not understand the political parties in this country, and I really don't want to explain them to you. If there is anything refering to those parties, just let it be and don't try to interprete it, because you do not understand it.

Funny, because a pretty well-off American started this thread.

...and look how it has degressed...

Please, excercise some reason instead of ranting about democrats and (other) religions maniacs.

(did you mean Religous maniacs? Religion's maniacs? What you said doesn't make sense.)

I don't see anything here about religions, except some odd mention of Catholic Priests raping kids, which everyone can agree is sick and wrong.

Hmmm...

I make a valid argument, and the rest of you keep on bickering;
"America ess deuemm.. . They watches Tee Veee.. theayy heaev Moeeny aend Freadum.."

The pot called the kettle black..

Yo, GO THERE, its totally empty!

ZL, Put some Custom TWHL maps on there...

Hmm? It seems like everyone ignored my post.

Probably because it was right?

So, heres a Bigger one that ever MORE of you will overlook

First of all, Xyos, you are not helping. Notice how they responded to your post and not mine.

Bratty lord you are a wise man. Hes right.

You are too kind

I mean, Americans can legally own guns... That's just fucking stupid.

Its called protection. Besides, guns make for good sport. Pretty much, the second Amendment (The right to bear arms) was created in order to provide a way for people to protect themselves from crime, and as a backup if ever we were invaded. The assholes who would use firearms in a malproductive way, such as robbing a liquor store or shooting someone, would obtain those firearms anyway, but this way they obtaining them would be illegal. We learned our lesson with ?National Prohibition?, where the government made it illegal to sell or drink alcohol. Because of that, organized crime was started in Chicago, because gangsters like Al Capone found it resourceful to illegally sell alcohol, and started America on a one-way ticket to Crime. National Prohibition is the only Amendment that was ever ?killed? for lack of a better word?

Though it is pretty unlikely that we will be invaded, I?d put my money on the beer drinkin? flag wavin? good ol? boys that have a gun rack in the back of their pickup trucks.

What I don?t understand is why America doesn?t intelligently use our human resources. Instead of putting our top notch serial killers and gangsters in prison, only to use our tax money that could be spent on better things like? education, we could just send them over to Afghanistan and tell them to look for Osama. I?m sure they?d track that bastard down, and even the worst criminals here hate that guy.

Al Gore invented the Internet!

Hah, I remember when he said that? He also said he invented pants.
Now THERE is a real example of a dumbfuck American.

You're all missing the point. The whole world hates America cause it's a big bully with lots of weapons, taking advantage of countries everywhere.

The world hates America because we are the world superpower right now. Though personally I believe China will soon take that position, we do right now have the strongest military, and strongest economy in the world.

Haha, yeah, all those great Yanks: Otto von Guericke, Michael Faraday, Nikola Tesla.

Don?t get me wrong; I believe scientific advances worldwide are all great!
Of course, we did get Einstein from Germany. He was kind of a superstar.
And yes, Jefferson invented the light bulb, so be grateful that you can see at 10:00 at night.
? Never Will I insult the Great Michael Faraday ?

If the majority of Americans aren't dumbfucks, how the hell is Bush in power?

Actually, studies confirm that the Democrat?s voters are the dumbest.
The media does not release this information, due to the fact that they themselves are the dumb Democrats?
Pretty much, voting for Republicans, you have:
Business people, Lawyers, Nerds, Rich People? and on and on?
For Democrats, you have:
Blacks from the Ghetto, Actors, Newscasters, eccentric artists, and hippies.

Not necessarily... You seem to be forgetting that the votes are rigged

I assume you are kidding?
You think it?s rigged because you don?t understand how the electorate college works?

America always tries to help everyone ..by killing people...

Oh yeah, we sure killed people when we sent Trillions of dollars over history of relief to third-world countries, and most recently to East Asia for the tsunami. Then when deadly hurricanes hit us, and one of our big cities literally sinks, the world turns its head, and giggles to the other little pansy sitting next to him.

Oh yeah, and civilians
But they're the same, they wear turbans. Lousy muslims.

um? Actually, it?s the terrorists who decide it?d be fun to go blow themselves up on a bus and take about 30 innocents with them. They also thought it?d be funny to blow up two of our largest buildings, and kill so large a number, it?s earned itself a percentage of people in New York City. Besides, would you rather have a guy blow up 30 people, or put him in prison for a few days and be called a racist?

We have tons of lazy ignorant passive lefty morons too.

I thought that?s what Europe was?
Shit, you ask ol? Merriam, you?d find those exact words right there!

What's an ebonic?

Its how Black people talk.

IM SPARTACUS

IM SPARTACUS!!

So does catholic priests, that doesn't make them all bad.

It sure does! Throw those Child Molesting Bastards in prison. The absolute lowest thing I believe a person can do is molest a child.

AMERICANS WATCH TOO MUCH TV!!!!!!

Oh yeah, and we enjoy it! So?

Well, you know, Yanks are famed for failing to understand irony

I know! It?s hard for someone to get any jokes I tell here, if of course they involve Cynicism, Sarcasm, or Verbal Irony?

lazy slobs

The only Lazy ones are the Liberal Pansies who sit around and wait for their next Welfare Check.

This thread sounds more to me like indignant little babies, crying because they're so jealous of Big, Bad America.

Here Here my Brotha!
Rowley, you really know what you?re talking about.

Once again you people amaze me...

You cannot generalize Americans based on the survy of some late night talk show host who goes out and asks questions to people. The entire purpose of that clip was to make people laugh at the stupidity of others. Yes, if I saw that clip, I'd find it quite humourous, but it does not represent Americans as a whole. It is completely ridiculous to sterotype and generalize America by a simple joke. Yes, of course there are stupid people here. THERE ARE STUPID PEOPLE EVERYWHERE! The fact is that the people who were interviewed, at least the ones that they showed, do not represent the average American.

There is a show that I watch called "Street Smarts", where two contestants compete by choosing which person they think will miss or make a simple question. Before the show, the host goes onto the street, and finds fairly unintelligent people, and askes them questions similiar to the ones you listed. The point of this show is to poke fun at the stupidity of some people in America. The key word there is SOME people. "Some" specifies a minority.

In fact, America has a great education system. Pretty much, when a student reaches Highschool, they choose classes that they find interesting, and will most likely fall into a career asociated with that class. Some people, who don't put random knowledge as a high priority, learn the things that they will actually use in life.

Personally, I enjoy learning random knowledge, even after school. I'm the kind of person who watches Jepordy and gets most of the questions right... Even before Ken Jennings (American Joke)
