Urby hasn't even posted here...I don't recall ever saying he had, I just like ribbing on him whenever possible
Simple.
One of them Urby is good at, the other he is not.

what the hell happened to this thread..?
...THAT is what you took from his screenies?

Boredom + slow internets = time for another of my pointless community surveys!
DAE actually use a custom steam skin, or is everyone still using the bog standard steam skin?
I've been running the default skin since 2004... but I recently switched to the Steam Minimal UI v3.9 RC2 skin, and must say I am much preferring it to the standard bloat.

Anyone else got a skin they recommend?

Standard Definition link for those with spazzy internets...was that directed at me?
Aww, Poor Scotch. With two entries he was a dead cert for a copy, then along comes Instant Mix and steals it away from him.
Atom, I already have you on steam, but I.M., you'll need to PM me your steam username.
Sorry Scotch, better luck next time.
If it makes you feel better you can blame the seed used in my PRNG.

Also, you couldn't be more wrong Digi. That's an HL2 RTSI was going by striker's comment, so pfft.
...also, if it doesn't exist, I'm tempted to make it.
Next SnC project after the core perhaps?
I've been sitting on two pre-release copies of AirMech (http://store.steampowered.com/app/206500/) for a little over a week now, with no idea what to do with them.
Now normaly my SnC buddies get first refusal on my spare games, but I doubt AirMech is the kinda thing they'd play.
So I'm offering them up for a free raffle to the community. (aren't I nice?)
Let me know if you wan't a copy and I'll put all the names in a digital hat and pick two winners at some point after tomorrow lunchtime (depending on when I'm next online).

yeah, urby's mapping skills are enough to offend anyone
seriously... what happened to this thread? 
if ur good it's faster than drawingyeah, but this is archie we're talking about ;P
seems like a lot of work to construct an entire 3d model for each texture, when archie's "piss about with photoshop layers" method works just as well.
@Taylor
Heh, i said the same thing to Archie on steam last night.

Adding new weapons in goldsrc is easy, as long as you don't do something derpy like compiling the cpp into the wrong DLL (...don't say anthing archie :P).
It's mainly just a case of copying the code for an existing weapon, changing the variables as appropriate, and recompiling the DLLs.
You'll need to get hold of the source code (go for spirit over vanilla imo) and a copy of visual c++. Visual c++ 2008 express is a free download, and there's a spirit download on moddb specifically for it.
C++ knowledge is recommended before you go messing with the source code, but not essential as it's mainly just copy-pasting.
When you get stuck into the source code, feel free to drop me a PM if you get stuck.

brain clearly fried this afternoon.
I was trying to work out what was so great about a shirt that read "we've reduced it to three eights of a map" that would make you want to wear one.
derp.

It's like 25 quid. That's nothing.
Never steered me wrong.

Spoiler alert: It's only 2 maps long. All the screenies you've seen are just individual rooms.Shhh, Dimbark, no one is supposed to know that.
bastard.
either you actually did get one, which makes you a bastard.
or you're lying, which makes you a bastard.

I still think me and urb should get free ones
There's also some pretty good jokes that you can see without no-clipping
Goldsrc is limited to the 16x16px icon.
If you want the 32px icons you have to use source, sorry.
to change the menu interface colors requires taking a copy of ClientScheme.res and changing the RGB values for the relevant sections. Then I think you save it as "TrackerScheme.res" in your mod's resource dir.
Effectively, you're running a custom Steam theme within your mod.
It's been a while since i last did it, and I'm at work atm, but if your still stuck later I can have a look in more detail for you.

rchi, are you going to let them know just how long that map took to compile?
oh, and FYI. The icon on your start bar is the icon of the hl.exe executable, and can't be changed. Most people run the game fullscreen and wont see it anyway.
Edit: :S weird... could have sworn I edited, rather than double posting. my bad.
Edit: :S weird... could have sworn I edited, rather than double posting. my bad.
in your liblist.gam, add a key value pair of "icon" and it's relative path from your mod root.
It must be a 16x16px TGA.
Hope that helps.

which models are you trying to use?
i'm imposing a new rule that a minimum of 5 entries need to be submitted to make this contest valid.aww... that ruins my plan.
I'll just go work on the Core before Archie yells at me again.
> and your shocked, wide eyed faceGrammar Nazi fail
Context is important when you read English.
hang on... if no one else but urb entered... does that mean that technically, no matter what crap I'd churn out i'd still be guaranteed second place if i entered?... hmm, interesting.
@Rchi.
I thought you had the Virgin super-duper 120Mb broadband.
I feel a little better now I know it's only 20Mb.
My mother gets 65mbps at her house... but I'd have to go to my mothers house. Double edged sword methinks.

OMG GOD!!! this is epic lighting...wut?
i am going to play with myself this lighting is so good

Morning all,
Boredom setting in now as I wait for my 900k internet to finish updating my steam library before I can play anything. Can't even pull down the latest revisions of The Core and keep working on that... that's how crap my d/l speed is.
Openreach are (apparently) upgrading all the cabs here to fibre... but they seem to have missed mine. according to last years leaked rollout docs, my cab was due to be upgraded to offer FTTP if we paid extra for it. maybe that's the hold up.
Just wondering what the average net speed is amongst us lot (and yes archie, you're going to sway the averages so shh) and if anyone knows of a provider that seems to consistently offer faster connection than most.

Saved me trawling through IGN etc for something I give a crap about.
ACIII seems to be the only announcement that interests me... and I already knew about that.
Anyone else remember when E3 used to be good? Seems like such a long time ago now.

Follow up film to the awesome Firefly... not as good as the series, but good nevertheless... apart from killing off main characters kinda shoots down any talk of a second season.

what errors do you get when you try to load a map?
Archie for president.Oh dear god, no.
is this error in hud_level.cpp?
ok, so you're adding frag points on kill.
what's the context?
what are you trying to achieve?
what's the error you're getting?
Is it compiling but not doing what you want, or failing to compile?

what the fuck indeed.
Heh, already got a raspberry pi on backorder, not sure if it's suitable really.
Budget is cheap as possible, I've got plenty of parts kicking about, but all spare cases are brutish tower cases with massive fans (ex-gaming PCs) - not really small quiet and cute enough for the missus to accept sitting in the living room.
Penguin, you've sold me on XBMCbuntu - I love the desktop app, just never played with the OS version. I suppose a usb3 external drive would still be pretty nippy with I/O speeds.
I'm liking the ISK case, might have a hunt around see what parts I can salvage that would work with the mini-ATX boards (what board you using out of interest PB?)
You know what, just make your journal post and I'll flick through
/me returns PB's thunder

Right, advice time.
I'm looking to build a new media centre as cheaply as possible so I can stream my music and video around my house.
I think it's a pretty fair bet I'm going to be running XBMCbuntu as the OS but hardware wise I'm open to advice.
Ideally I'd like a NAS server attached to a lightweight, silent machine for the conroller - but as I said, I am budget limited.
I've been looking at the Acer Aspire Revo Nettop as a thin, silent centre instead (obviously changing the hard drive for a faster, bigger one) but I've never been a big fan of Acer's build quality.
The downside of this is that I'd still need an independant bluray/dvd player should I want to watch discs that I've not ripped to mp4
Anyone done anything similar and have any ideas?

TrueCryptI use TrueCrypt on my flash drive, and I swear by it.
Since I'm talking about high amounts of data, possibly leaving only a quarter of the flashdrive with free space, is this going to slow a lot the transfer speeds?
Effectively you have a TrueCrypt container on the drive, alongside a portable copy of the software which mounts the container as an additional drive on your pc.
It makes use of parallelization and pipelining, and so the I/O speed is negligibly different to that of an unencrypted drive.
Oh god... there goes my life again.
