Haven't really taken it that far. 200MHz or so. It's my "Stable" system. I have two nice blue neon fans. Not that the neons make a difference, but they look damn cool!

That'll be my next project. A table of overclocking recommendations, how far people have taken it and I will compare it to its rival (AMD/Intel).
How about it? Tell me what you think.
I certainly won't leave an Athlon 64 at stock speeds, but I will just be air-cooling it.
Same here, in fact it's what I have right now :) .

I spent a lot of time today researching CPU statistics. This is because I thought there weren't enough comparisons out there between AMD and Intel chips. Here is the link:

http://arsham.farvista.net/galthingy/cpuchart.php

Now before m0p says this is a load of crap how can this blah omfg n00blet Let me say that which each chip I took an average of all the core types with different benchmarks then came up with my own statistic which I later used to place it in a region. So I am pretty sure that I got most of it right. Although when I actually compiled the page i was shit tired and may have made a mistake then.

The best part of this comparison against other ones in my opinion is the fact that it pitches the chips against rival ones.

Anyway, long story short: Enjoy and tell me what you think! Please remember that this page is about content over design so don't moan about my webpage design skills!

PS. While your on my site feel free to browse to the TWHL gallery where I have some exclusive pictures (mainly for mine and ZombieLoffes taste :D )

Yep, In fact I have already fixed the crappy sky-box in v2. I started it earlier.
Can I just say that this is a very lazy map. It reflects none of my ability. I just felt like making a zs_ map and it turned out this way.
Read up on 3D skyboxes.
I know how to do 3D skyboxes. as I said before, I just couldn't be arsed.

The mod isn't mine by the way. But the people who wrote it used LUA.
If you are refering to the map then I used hammer :D
maybe I should organize a meetup one of these days so you can all get a good feel of how it acts when several people are on it?

This is my first map so be kind!

I have made it for a mod for gmod called Zombie Survival
( http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/showthread.php?t=73442 )

The concept of the mod is basically to stay alive (don't get killed by the Zombies) Everyone starts off as a Human and you fight the Zombies, if you get killed by a Zombie you become one! (Their are NPC zombies all through the round).

If you can are a zombie you can choose your class. Eg. headcrab, zombie, fast zombie etc.

If you are a human you start off with a standard pistol and a knife. as you kill more zombies you get better weapons. Right up until the RPG. (You have to be pretty legendary to get that)

Now enough about the mod and more about the map.....

It isn't a huge looker but the emphasis here is on gameplay. Its just fun to make zombies chase after you and then get then and maybe you :D trapped in the pit. The Pit has lots of headcrabs in it just waiting for you to fall in......

It has a few bugs but to be honest I made this map as a test, to see if anyone was interested. If there is interest I will most definitely do a v2 and fix all the bugs and add the features I dreamed of....

Here is my first question......

I have made a huge hill but now I want to make a path on it. I have made the path flat but how would I apply the paths texture to that particular place? The hill is terrainous so I can't just use another brush (not easily anyway)

btw. I havent actually done the above I just want to know so when I start I don't get myself.

I have been here for a while now but i haven't really gotten into mapping at all, so yesterday I finally decided i was going to start mapping..

Anyway my question is:

Is there any way to make terrain more rounded than with the displacement technique?

I want to make a map with two very large hills that people can walk up and down on but so far I haven't got any terrain that is very rounded. Basically it's to abrupt and doesn't seem like my idea will be very feasible, or look good....

btw. I am a n00b at mapping, don't laugh.

What about forging money? You are not stealing anything there are you?

in Are Warez Right? Post #149765
I have been writing my own software recently and this thought came across my mind.

Are warez right? Is it stealing?

The main reason for this is because I have been writing my own stuff and I know how much hard work it takes. I know look at warez in a completely different way from before. "It's stealing." Thats it. Even if the company in question i M$ or any other rich company. You don't steal money from a bank just because they have lots of it and they probably have some to spare do you? (or maybe you do)

Yet even though I think of that for software I still "borrow" music, from my friends all around the world. Same for movies. Maybe this is just a phase I am going through..........?

Anyway I just wanted to see your opinions on it.

Yeh I got that part..... What I'm not sure is how to use it as an exploit.
How would I get the malicious code into the extra buffer? So far I have been able to do this with my own program, but thats not much use to me as it's local so I can't use it as an exploit on another computer unless it's on there. Am I just talkin crap.......? This may just be the extent of it. I need help!

Ok......I'm coding in C++ (I'm still learning) and I need help with the whole buffer overflow concept. I get what the exploit is just not how to implement it in my code. I know this has nothing to do with mapping etc. but anywhere else would give me a lecture on how much of a nublet I am.

m0p would you help me if I called myself a nublet?
I am a nublet.
