?UNITS DOWN IN SECTOR 3:14, REMAINING UNITS CONTAINED.?

You don?t flinch. In the past couple of weeks you have heard more and more reports of metrocops being wounded and killed in the city. However, seeing as you were reassigned to the canal district months ago then it seems that it?s no longer your problem.

You keep your rifle steady and continue to recon the rebel outpost across the water. The local units had never seen Gate 5 as a crucial location but now that the rebels had moved in it was all they could talk about. You never really shared their callous opinions of the citizens of City 17. As far as you are concerned, you?re just doing your job.

Just as you are about to call it a night, the gate suddenly creaks into action and starts to open. You scan the windows of the control tower, looking for the one who activated it. Just then, you spot them. A head pops into view, a young male rebel, checking that the gate is operating. This is the first rebel movement you seen all day and your trigger finger is getting itchy. You fire off a single round, smashing into the man?s temple. He splutters loudly and goes limp, his upper body dangling from the opening. Just then, a small craft speeds through the gate. You quickly whip your rifle around and aim down the scope. The operator is a young woman, in regular citizen attire. You fire a shot which ricochets off of the boats sturdy frame. You fire once more, but the shot falls short and the hover boat vanishes behind an embankment. You glance back to the outpost, noticing a lot more rebels rushing around the yard like ants, disturbed by the loud shots.

What now?

A) Pursue the female in the airboat
B) Eliminate the rest of the rebels in the yard
C) Call in reinforcments and storm the outpost
D) Retire for the evening and report to your superiors

@Urby: Didn't the rocket launched in Episode 2 have something to do with the "satalite delivery rocket"?

No, the rocket in Episode 2 was launched in order to close the combine mass portal which opened when the citadel went kablamo.

Also, I personally hope there is never EVER a Half-Life movie. Some things should stay where they belong. Half-Life belongs on the PC, and at a push, the consoles.

Also, keep up the story.

I'd still hit the servers but I hardly have time. I was supposed to be working on models for some of you guys as well. Whatever happened to the Sunday evening games? I'm free on Sunday's now.

$envmaptint "[<red float> <green float> <blue float>]"
Controls the intensity of the reflection's red, green and blue color channels. Any positive number can be used. Default is "[1 1 1]", which means 100% intensity.

EDIT: What the Hell? Double post? I clicked 'edit' dammit!

How can you make the cubemaps less reflective.

For Christ's sake!

Fucking Valve Developer Wiki

I haven't really made a map in a while. I am working on a mod but progress is sloooow. We're talking 1 room per month. My main contribution to TWHL is the reviews, and I can't even do that at the moment. Damn faultly headset.

Let go of that idea. Having spoken to the guy since he made his feelings towards this site and its community very clear :/

Quiet peasants!

$2.13? JESUS!

I earn ?6.58 ($10.79) an hour at the moment and that's just while I'm on my probationary period. It goes up by a lot after that.

Eh I give up Dev skills if anyone wants me creation just PM me

I have no idea what you're trying to say, but good luck with it...thumbs up

This is why FPSBanana is a cluttered site made of FAIL, viruses and shit.

Theres a load of stuff I forgot too. But now I've forgotten what they were again.

Mwuh ha ha ha ha!

EDIT: Actually Zeeba, you have 2 trophies so you should be able to do it in "Edit Profile" under "My Control Panel"

Its definately a new concept. I just hope it doesn't all turn out to be scripted.

Jesus. That prefab looks like it will be a bitch to compile fully anyway...

Use a model or a simpler prefab.

But anyway, I sure hope the long wait is gonna be worth it.

A lot of people said that about another game until quite recently. Know what that game was? Duke Nukem Forever...

What would be a cool feature would be perks and achievements on TWHL profiles in the forum. Say I killed Huntey 20 times without him killing me: A message appears in mine and his TWHL profiles

"Huntey is Urby's bitch"

This will never happen obviously, but it would be funny.

I can't help but notice that nobody is waiting for / wants more info about Alan Wake. :rly:

I miss her ): ). So it's not hard to have another girlfriend. And the second girl is not even girlfriend, we just friends. It is hard to explain. I don't made any sins.

Thanks for explaining that girlfriend thing Fournimfourtor. We're cool.

As for tipping, I always tip if I have enjoyed the entire meal and the service is happy and polite...so yeah, not very often.

@ 4N!M4T0R: You have a fiancee AND a girlfriend?

No disrespect intended but in my mind that makes you a cunt. Actually, all disrespect intended.

Green Day - Basketcase

Well in that case non-TWHL players won't know about the arranged times

I'm sorry, why is that a problem? People join if the server is busy anyway.

Be sure to post up some screenies of the finished product.

there's no texture at all on any of the text. Perhaps lower their opacities to 95% or something, just so they look like they're actually part of the sign, not floating above it.

Its a poster.

Speeling errers are ficksd nowe.

By the way, admins of the TWHL Steam group can set weekly events over Steam to pop up and remind everyone who's a member of the group. It'd be much easier than logging in to TWHL and seeing "HLDM NAO!"

I was going to suggest somebody adding a module or something to the site to let members and visitors know that a game is starting or whatever. I forgot about the steam community because my brain is made of spatulas and corn.

Corperation

Awww crap. I'll fix it when I get home. Luck I kept the .psd huh?

Urby, Can I use/edit these logos? I would like them to use in my map.

I made them for the Co-op mod but sure. Just make sure to wait until I fix the spelling error and to give me full credit for the original design.

As in TWHL.

i like drama and perform in musicals

Not really an ailment IMO. My fiancee's step brother is studying performing arts at college at the moment. Last night I went to see him star in a production of Boogie Nights, all singing all dancing, the whole deal. Pretty damn entertaining.

Anyway, I has a few updates to make. Well one.

Occupation: Web Designer.

Let's do it! Someone make up a wad of company logos and signs!

I'm all for this project. Already on it.

LogoLogo with post-disaster citizen feedback ^_^

Hello. Weren't you here before? I forget.

lol @ giving away your phone number on TWHL.

Not to mention the Internet. You are a braver man than me.

I only play payload and CP anymore

Try KOTH. Seriously.

But yeah, Arena is for people who like watching other people play 75% of the time.

Christmas decorations and confectionary stock is being delivered to Morrison's by the end of the month... Seriously.....

At least I don't have to deal with that any more.

Looking forward to:

• Operation Flashpoint 2
• Black Mesa
• Borderlands

Want more info about:

• Portal 2
• HL2 Episode 3
• Fallout Online

Films: Uhm...I dunno. New Moon I guess. I'm not big on films.

Hey hey. This is certainly something I could do with checking out. I really need to learn to map for Source... :rly:

Is the Sunday night game still a regular occurance? If it is I can get in on that now that I have a REAL job.

"Carve" is a Hammer tool only as far as I know. I'm not sure about GMax as I have never used it but what you generally have to do is divide up the face you want to create the hole in and then move the newly created faces inwards as far as you please.

Remember Remember

"...the 1st of Octember"

???

This certainly makes things more interesting.

I notice how Valve are emphasizing on the on how TF2 updates are "FREE!" Could this be their answer to the L4D2 boycott?

Most of the members of this particular community are mappers only and are often wary of mod proposals such as this. Good luck to you though.

High Alert

Hidden deep within a harsh valley, covered by forests and the harsh mountain wilderness, a city has been developing for over 20 years.

The vast underground civilisation of Libertas, funded by The Urban Independence Corporation (TUIC), is an experimental city and is inhabited by employees of the same company. The city was designed to be a totally independent complex, with all of its energy, food and water being created, recycled and reused with a series of development labs.

However, during an attempt to create a man-made renewable fuel source for powering the massive central generators, due to an incorrect element being brought into the process, a potent mutagenic virus was created. The scientists who came into contact with the liquid created in the subsequent chemical reaction began to transform into unspeakable and violent mutations.

The TUIC immeadiatly responded, despatching a cleanup team to the city to remove the dangerous chemical from the city via a convoy of tankers and destroy it. However, their transmission to company headquarters was intercepted by a rival company, specialising in biological weapons manufacturer who despatched a team of heavily armed mercenaries to ambush the convoy while it is still within the confines of the city. During their assault, one of the trucks was damaged during a collision, and the virus began to infect the inhabitants of Libertas.

This is by no means a perfect story, I just threw it together while watching TV. :rly:

A classless update? So is that no new weapons? Or new weapons for all!?

First off, don't triple post. Use the edit button.

Secondly, No. I'm stumped.

I would say completely uninstall Milkshape from your computer and remove any files it leaves behind. Then use a registry cleaner to remove it from the registry (Don't try it manually unless you know what you're doing!) Then reinstall Milkshape.

I never had this issue in WON or Steam HL. I still run both on my PC in order to test my mods.

How could this shit get a TV show?

Oh, America. Got it.

Seriously though. From what I've seen, Pure Pwnage is about as funny as being ass raped by a 10-inch cactus dick.

I've never come across this problem. All I know is that Life's End is epic.

Haha. I love this bug. It only seems to apply to corpses though but in HLDM it tends to happen if you get a kill with the crowbar. Blood goes everywhere!

My favourite glitch was one that happened years ago, towards the end of the game. An vort died near a rotating door and it jammed open. Then, whenever you stood over the vort's corpse your health would increase in single units (about 5 units per second)

My least favourite bug was with one of the early patches which made the game unplayable. This was around 1999 when I had no idea how to open the console (only my Dad's PC had internet access and it was a work computer)

You watched the intro sequence for 5 minutes and then at the end barney would walk to the tram and die on the spot. You couldn't get out of the fucking train! Me and my dad raged for weeks.

The best part of it was my Dad ended up setting up a LAN between his PC, mine and my sister's. My Bro-in-law, my Dad and myself spent 2 weeks playing Quake 1 from start to finish in co-op. It was good, there were many lulz. I know the game off by heart to this day.

I wish you all the best.

Like I said, I'll throw in any contribution I can when the time comes.

OH YEAH! I'll do concepts now too. I recently rediscovered my love for drawing.

I have a few issues here. Sorry:

a shipment of isotopes

...what? They ship atoms now?

The field of the cascade is expanding as we speak.

The resonance cascade was contained within the regions of Black Mesa. The "satalite delivery rocket" is what actually triggered the portal storms which engulfed the planet.

<<EPISODE 2 SPOILER>>G-Man may have given the sample to the science team and caused the resonance cascade but...come to think of it, Freeman fucked things up pretty bad by launching that rocket.
