Did you guys seriously finished %80 of this as it says in moddb?
If so, good. At last you guys are getting faster.

Oh man, when I asked that last question, I must have been really tired, or oblivious to the comments around me. Yeah, I know who Adam Savage is. It was in part the way it was phrased ("your Savage", and notice I said "a Savage", as if it was a creature or something) that screwed me up. Were there different versions or something?

Strideh - the paperwork had to be filed, but yes, now NineTnine is officially a fucking idiot.

And i've been working my ass off on this.
I haven't posted screenshots because I was the last person to do so, and it's somebody else's turn for continuinity.

I must say that I, myself am a bit pissed off at the rest of the team (except srry and Daubster, who i know are working at a steady pace)

Muzz- puh-lease get those new entities done.

Chickenfist - are you alive?

Gargly - screenshots!

Chickenfist has been working on his own mod, The Artifact. Is he even acknowledging his role in this anymore? :

Also, we should probably post more regularly in this thread, if for no other reason than to keep the "fucking idiots" off our backs. :)

Do it for Habboi. He is eager for a Summer mod that will pwn. Come on surely that is enough motivation to finish.

What's the status of the mod?
I mean, are you guys finishing it or are there still whole maps to do from scratch?
Posted 17 years ago2007-05-01 11:07:54 UTC Post #220593
well, i can tell you that chapter 5 is playable in its current state. I'm trying to fix some puzzles in, to spare from the non-stop action.

Calm yourself, Sergeant. If they dont know how to do it, you'll teach him to! If you tell them to jump, then they will jump! If you tell them to die! They will die! If one of them is not even working on the mod, kick him out. There will always be more eager people on the net to do it instead of them. Or you could just expand the team.

But since %80 of the mod is finished, there isn't much to worry about. You can even finish the %20 yourself, right? (if they are not working, of course, or it would be disrespectfull.)

I haven't really done much lately, mainly because I'm a lazy bastard.
Probably would be best if I sent my maps to someone else ...

Well, I think you should hand them over to somebody else if you aren't going to work on them anymore, but it would sure help me with the end of my chapter if I could see them.

Small update:

I've been working on my car chase map almost all day, and it's nearly done, except for a couple bugs I need to iron out, a very short ending cut scene, and the audio (including voices.) After that, it's on to the larger part of my chapter, the city... /me silently dreads the thought of mapping a city
Posted 17 years ago2007-05-02 03:25:12 UTC Post #220676
Hope you've thought of some beleivable barriers to funnel your movement through the city.

I did quite a while ago, but I'm probably going to go through the planning stages for it all over again.
Posted 17 years ago2007-05-02 04:59:01 UTC Post #220687
a good thing is to use highways, because alot of the time (here, anyway) highways have sound barriers on either side, about 2-3m high. it would be a great way to block the player's view.

p.s. put TONS of graffitti on them

A flamefest is the last thing this oversized thread needs. CF left. End of story.

I'm getting back on mapping for HS. Hs4a is pretty much complete, just needs the final touches, along with entity work & lighting fixes.

No need for worry Kasperg, it's only two maps. I already have the textures made/collected for them, too.
Posted 17 years ago2007-05-02 14:05:33 UTC Post #220723
ladies and gentlemen, i have some exciting news.

Welcome aboard, Kasperg.

Not only will his superb mapping skills bring something exciting and fresh to HS, but also, his fame will make media spots when this is released a lot easier to aquire.

PC Gamer for example, recognise him as like, the best source mapper ever cause of Falling Water.

Posted 17 years ago2007-05-02 14:11:24 UTC Post #220724
This is definitely one huge step forward.
Welcome indeed, Kasperg. :)

Well it's definately some motivation for me, as I grew tired of making hldm maps I never even play. Idol Hunt proved I suck at storytelling on my own.
(Just don't ask me to do any Source-related things right now. Hammer4 and me have decided to give ourselves some time to think about our relationship, specially since Cryengine and UnrealEngine are thinking about moving into the neighborhood)
Posted 17 years ago2007-05-02 14:23:25 UTC Post #220728
good luck kas, and cheer up. Its hard to tell a decent story in the HL engine. No cutscene videos or media, and voice acting is limiting.

Now i'm really looking forward to this mod, not that I wasn't before.

:glad: :heart:

HAHAHA! YES! Kasperg is on teh team. Hopefully he'll whoop all your asses into shape to get this thing done within the decade :)

Just kidding. You guys have put in a shiTon of work and you're making progress every day(from what i read) to a great finished product.

So what exactly is Kasperg going to be doing? Just making everything better?
Posted 17 years ago2007-05-02 17:05:51 UTC Post #220754
No, I'll work on Chapter3 from scratch.
Posted 17 years ago2007-05-02 17:26:58 UTC Post #220757
so.. yeah.. making everything better, really :P

oh kasperg, if you have a moddb account, can you post your username so i can add you to the staff list.

Welcome to the team anyway. Its not Valve, but it served us well enough.

I'd better get that custom code ready...

Dont get very excited about Lieutenant Kas being on the team. Of course, his mapping skills are great but that means the whole team needs to work as much as him to balance the quality of the mod.
good luck kas, and cheer up. Its hard to tell a decent story in the HL engine. No cutscene videos or media, and voice acting is limiting.
Think again! Wooza!
