Im going to be honest and say that site is just freewebs template and its really really lame.

I dont have an airsoft gun, I have metal pellets. BTW, if you go to google and type currency exange rates you can probably find a calculator that does that (I did one time) - i might post some pics of mine.

Yes... You should post a screenshot. I mean if its really that good whats the problem?

Nice job blowing that one Andy

OK, lets be realistic here. If atom won't do the NECESSARY updates to this site, adding a whole .wad section is like saying "Kerry would make a good president."

You can actually do damage to people with most bb guns... like the one im getting does penitrate skin unlike some paintball gun. Mostly if its at close range it could go into your skin about an inch- at least thats what a friend of mine says, and I believe it. Lets see the one I am looking at is 315 ft/s. Cmon unbreakable I want to see that machine gun.

... Search the forums, there has already been a thread on this ...

The only people that arn't bummed out about it are the ones who are not going to get it. HL2 had been delayed over a year. I am going to be looking forward to Halo 2 - I don't even understand what was wrong with the contract between them though...

Lookin' at the thread name I thought it was going to be about a fart....

With recent spam outbursts, why wouldnt you.

Might I suggest you have a flag in front of that building? It looks good though. Maybe get some car prefabs and stuff. Also for that fountain, make the flowing down part the... well its an flowing downwards texture.... looks alot better. And for the fountain water you could make a teal colored texture and use that as the water, IMO it would look better.

Those are all just suggestions

1.5m GB... is that something new I have never heard of? Megabyte gigabytes?

'''what999areyou----talk!!!!innnnnnngg&&&&abb -- totootot oto -- out.... ~~~~````

OMG... Half Life 2 is going to be so out of date by the time they do that. Well I am going to drop all worries that TWHL wont update, its WAAAY to early to care about that.

I probably would't go into a story line if I did it

I don't get how "busy" atom is. Now I understand that he may have a full time job and all, but doing a few updates couldn't be that hard. The most he has done for this site in the 3/4 year I have been here is that he got everyones hopes up with the ToDo. I really don't want to see TWHL not do anything when half life 2 comes out. Like other people I too learned everything about mapping here, and sheesh, I come here practically every day to browse around the forums & stuff.

Ah ha, maybe I have a solution to this. m0p is an excelent coder, maybe he could make some php code updates, email them to atom, and all atom would have to do was to post them into his site! Maybe...

OK, admin if you don't think this is appropriate to talk about im sorry... does anyone who likes to send email's under a different name have a favorite SMTP server they could share with me?

They had alot of new/different enemies in that, that are kinda cool.

Wow half life lighting isn't even this good.

he he he

LOL! I AM SO GLAD GORDON DIDNT LOOK LIKE THAT! At least the frutopia machine looks decent...

Really want to have one?

this remindes me so much of AVP.

That's the reason that where I live its 18 (I thought it was 21 but now I am re-thinking it to 18) - because they look so damn real. If you have a gun and a cop see's you with it, mostly if its being pointed at someone, he cannot tell if its real or not, and he might shoot you. I checked the law on that, and if your commiting a crime with an lookalike, they treat it as if its a real gun and you could get charged with the full penalty of it (I forget the exact charge).
Anyway, I am happy! I somehow, amazingly, extrodinarily, got my parents to let me get one!

Zombie, I really don't know why you say that you can't target practice with them, because thats completely wrong. And you can play with them. If your friends and you have them, of course you can have gun fights and stuff! They even have paintballs for bb guns. I wouldn't want to play with the metal bb's - but w/e. I don't know about killing a human, but you can hunt with them (most cannot but it is possible) - of course if you are going to hunt with them, why not buy a real gun...

Kasperg: not a hope of larger filesizes. Maybe TWHL'll relocate or somethin'. - Seventh-Monkey

You really don't seem to sure about TWHL becoming HL2 compatible. It worries be because I have feared the same thing, but thought it was just me. I would really hope atom could do something new... I mean if this whole site was made in 3 days, a few updates could take all of, what, like four hours?

I don't know if I am the only one, but alot of those screenies look really cool. I really wish they had this in the actually HL

Valve is definitaly going to make hl2 compatable with macs

I made the table of contents to zoom to parts of the tutorial. I don't think I am going to make popup definition box's though because its more of a waste of time than a help. besides I don't really see anything wrong with using the parenthesis for the definitions anyway.

I am actually thinking of making a "movie" for half life 2. I can't really say whats its about because I haven't thought to much about it.

I forgot to mention that I am going to make a new de_bedroom, but this will be very much improved. Now the TV and computer monitor will have actual video footage as if there were hidden camera's around the room so that you can more easily find out where the other guy is hiding. And thats besides the little mini-panels that have their own camera's in various places throughout the level. (Big bro's always watching). This one is going to have so much more details and stuff than the other one.

Mainly what I am just going to love is the vehicles. That is what I consider the coolest part of half life 2 (laugh all you want!)

It is in the developing stage and I have gotten alot of complaints about the color scheme. About the hollowing, there is absolutly, completely, nothing wrong with hollowing out boxes. It doesnt add compile time or add errors, and its the easiest way for a person to start out. Besides you don't want to make it complex at the start. There is going to be more tutorials and editing of course.

Also adding a few quicklinks that just go down to a certain section of the page (if you dont want to look through it all) is a very good idea that I actually thought off adding but didn't - it isn't that hard to do and helps alot so I will when I get home though.

The formating of the parts is messed up in some area's do to resolution. I am making it in like 1240*1000(something like that im at school so i cant say exactly) and on other computers and different resolutions it looks different.

Clipping is so much easier that using vertex manipulation IMO. Having popup definitions is a very good idea I think.

To legally buy an an airgun/bb gun/real gun (of course) you need to be 21... At least thats my understanding.

I paid $2500 For this kick ass machine gun---its unreal

Dude... No offense but you spend 2500 dollars on a lookalike? Of course it is probably sooooo cool... I really want to see some pictures of it - post some! Then again you really must be a richass getting 2500 dollars in one summer... Unless you have a full time job ... RICH ASS! Did you know if you save that for a whole year you could have a gotten a new car?

Shit lol, i didnt look through the posts here before I posted mine, well I definitally am the most creative / enthusiastic! Actually thats possibly the largest message I ever wrote... BELIEVE me thats not the last you've heard from me but if I dont get to bed ill die tommarow... no wonder that message took like 10 seconds to post.

OMG I wish I would have seen this before today! I daydream in class about what to make with the unlimited expance of source!

The first map I am going to make is going to actually be a box, HA! Its going to be preety big though. I am going to test all of the entity's and experiment my little heart out with it.

The next map I am going to make is going to be land and vehicle crazy. I am going to have a really big land area with a bunch of vehicles!

I don't know how far the idea's go in this one, but my next map (if I can) will be a gigantic ocean expanse with two aircraft carriers that are fully drivable and have guns and stuff. Of course and aircraft carrier cannot exist without an bunch of airplanes / helicopters and guns on it! This is my favorite idea yet, just because I think the idea of airplanes with guns and a sky battle would be AWSOME!

Now for the big daddy one. This one I ovbiously cannot do alone. I have 3 friends going in on this one. Due to the fact that there is such a big area that you can fill, my friends and I are actually going to map the downtown area of where we live! This will probably take a few months cause omg is it alot. There's going to be a tank that as long as your in it, your safe- with video cameras/screens inside of it to see out and (of course) a big cannon, and a 360degree rotatable machine gun up top. The tanks enemy is this massive ass helicopter with 4x missles that the driver controls, and theres 2 more machine guns on it if you can get a couple more people into it. This is going to have all sorts of vehicles in it which is going to be the coolest part. Since this is so big you really need vehicles to ever find each other! As soon as I started thinking/talking about hl2 in general that idea formed in our heads. This is really a big project and its going to be REALLY hard but omg my head spins off while I think about it - as you can see by all that I have typed.

I may be way over exagerating, but compared to the limits of the HL engine, in this you can do almost anything! I mean right now I am trying to think of things that I cannot make in HL2.

Btw, I have a question for you all. Does anyone know if you can like, have computer panels like in doom 3 or at least have a keypad that isnt impossible to use?

I really don't get why everyone hates cs... theres absolutly nothing wrong with it. Other than the fact that there is round playing and a buy system, its almost no different than HLDM. Now people will say, I dont like HLDM, but you don't sit there dissing HLDM do u? I really wish that normal cs would have a single player though, it would be so much cooler.

A new feature of this site is the FAQ. Anyone can submit a question to me and I will answer it (if its appropriate of course) and have it posted up in the faq that would really be nice for this site too... someone should probably submit that to the ToDo list.

Andy I have to say that I respect you alot more now that I have actually had to make a tutorial for myself. BTW people, this is a mini-site that is actually for Half Life 2, but I am starting off some tutorials right now.
http://dhost.info/davideo59/tutorials/tutorial2.html
lol, its in the beginning part 1 all over again

Anyway, please give me some feedback on how I can improve that one, any errors or ways to make it more understandable, or suggestions in general.

I didn't know if he used Jahzel as his name when posting that =/ But it is a very good theory Jahzel.

I guess this could be the time to announce that m0p and I have already started on a site called HL2X. You will sure hear about when its done. Right now I have my testing version on my website, no where near finished. But I am hoping that THWL members will go there who want hl2 stuff.

I would die to have one of the pistols... Someday I will be (isnt it like 21?) and can buy one of those. No way in hell my parents would let me get one of those.

OK, why do you all hate CS? If you don't like it, you don't need to say that it should burn in hell, or that your poor hl2 is going to be contaminated because its bundled with css - lol you guys really need to calm down.

no, cs just sucks. theyre bundling it with hl2? so if i buy hl2 i get cs2 with it?
/me bangs head off wall shouting "NO!ITS NOT HAPPENING!"

Am I the only idiot who doesn't know where his article was? There was alot of text there...

I want the map! and that is really funny (http://koti.mbnet.fi/twhlmix/)

The minute hl2 comes out I am going to make like 5 tutorials on how to do all the new stuff in it- I have actually started looking at the leak version and am writing basic stuff. When the actual Hammer 4 comes out I am going to polish them up and submit them to Andy. You guys should see the list of entity's making an entity guide would take years.

I am really worried about TWHL with this site. Seriously, I honestly don't think that it is going to be updated at all. Look what happened with the todo, billions of ideas and whats happened since then? Nothing.

lol I think people completely forgot my post a while ago! Look at major stores (US) like bestbuy.com and EB.com - both say its coming out Nov. 4

Everytime someone says this, Half-Life 2 will automatically be delayed by a minute. Beware.

You know I kinda believe that lol!

The issue I have is that there's two different theory's and there a whole month apart. I have never actually figured this all out myself, the gaming websites say Nov.4 and I kept hearing Sept.30 from no where. ONCE again, I hear 2 different stories to this. I am having some trouble beliving that it comes out on the 30th though.

BTW, when it "goes gold" does that mean we can get a copy of it? lol

I have a pit'ure of some really strange hl2 monster. It shoots like lasers out of its eyes and it looks sewn together. It attacks like a zombie. I think that it might be one of the aliens without its suit or something. BTW, are they going to have marines in hl2 or are the aliens kinda replacing them?

Go ZL! Always with the half-empty solutions!

That's preety deep, you really have me thinking. I must say that I agree to a certain extent. Were probably very alike because I ponder the exact same things when looking out the bus window on the way home. But I have learned that normally I shouldn't think like this because I have gotten into depressions from something like that (among other things) before.

then why are we still posting in it? it kinda sux floater was the coolest newb that we've ever had in my opion

Thats all I can say

I don't get the phases and stuff. I preloaded it like last monday or sunday (like 9/2 or around there) and I keep clicking on hl2 preloading icon on the my games list and it just says its done preloading, how do I start downloading the next phase?

lol whenever I see coolfat i think of worldcraft dude... - just used to it lol

Dude Jazel, dont turn off your computer! There is no point! Mine is always on, and it runs perfectly... It does not make even 5 dollars difference in your electricty bill! There is absolutly no reason to do that!!!

lol how much time did you spend on that? Im just happy I was on the list lol
