I don't think it looks crappy as it sets the mood fine and if you got rid of it then i'll kill you :P

Max is super-simple, compared to XSI D:

I can have a crack at a somewhat better model sometime if you wish.

Looks spiffy. Your ambient needs to be darker though, the buildings seem too bright for what light the lamps would provide.

They're just different render 'programs', pretty much. OpenGL is better for HL1.

Awesome job guys. I have updated my first section tunnel, added a little spice to it. I need to finish texturing it, and then hang the lights, which is what I'm having trouble with. Finding a good place for lights, that is. I want it to flow and look logical, not ackward and "stuck in some random place."

I'll do a bit more this weekend, fix my video card issues (I too have to use software mode until I plug my ATI card back in). But in a month, I'll have a brand new ridiculously fast machine so it won't really matter anyways.

Sorry I'm not getting my part done too fast, but I have a lot to deal with having school and all. Calculus based physics is demanding a good chunk of my time.

You shouild really consider getting MSN - You can register with your email and it's becoming more popular than AIM.

It doesn't really matter to me, I can incorporate all chat protocals into a single program and be connected to them all at the same time. It's not a matter of switching, but rather of broadening my chatting capabilities, lol.

When I get an MSN name hooked up, I'll let you know what it is.

Hunter, check your e-mail. I sent you an updated version of my map from my gmail account.

I sent it to the mr.jgamer one.
Posted 19 years ago2005-02-28 19:49:55 UTC Post #94301
Oh, keep in mind that map needs a LOT of optimizing. I'm still doing rough architecture + lighting (checking how shadows will be thrown and whatnot) so the texturing is STILL off, the r_speeds are way too high (for now, I'll fix that - I think I got them to peak at 850, but I can easily drop them to about 700, maybe lower when I start optimizing) and yeah, just try and see it's potential. :P

I'll leave the updated screenshots to you bud.
Posted 19 years ago2005-02-28 19:54:11 UTC Post #94302
no e-mail.. did u send it mr.jgamer@ntlworld.com ? cos some people send e-mails to mr.jgamer@hotmail.com and it doesnt exist

Very nice people here... :S

I don't know who "Kimaru Jr" is, but i want him out of our team! I thought he was a nice dude and all, i talked to him about the mod etc etc, really cool ideas.
I don't know what is wrong with him today, but he acting pretty much hostile now.

If you can't be nice, and if you are gonna blame things on people that they did not done, you definitely won't be a great addition to the team.

So, to put it this way: GET YOUR GODDAMNED ASS OUT OF THIS TEAM AND GO BUG AND INSULT OTHER PEOPLE, YOU FUCKING CANCER HEAD!!! GODDAMNIT!!!

Im sorry, Hunter, he's being a ridiculous fucktard! And i don't know why!
Posted 19 years ago2005-03-03 17:03:42 UTC Post #94857
well... since your doing the most for this mod, i have to agree with you... :( mercenary, your out unless you can prove yourself....

Sorry mate..

lol.

i have yet to talk with anyone here other than through this forum. do i have to get M$N? i don't even feel like figuring out where to sign up and register a name for it.
Posted 19 years ago2005-03-04 01:10:56 UTC Post #94934
It's included with Windows, and it can use your existing email, whether it's Microsoft-based or not. For example, my MSN address is the same as my email, rabidmonkey777@gmail.com, and that's not MS-based.

To access Messenger, just go Start - Run - Msmsgs or msnmsgr. One of the two will function, depending on how updated it is, unless you've uninstalled it.

It's pretty difficult to uninstall Windows Messenger, you wouldn't've done it without a lot of effort.

Thanks guys, I've deleted it before because I hate it running in the background needlessly, but haven't gotten around to it yet with my new OS reinstall.

I'll check it out.
Posted 19 years ago2005-03-05 15:43:03 UTC Post #95269
Ok, it's all set up.

My old hotmail account is my new MSN addy:

sayno2cocoa@hotmail.com

It looks like Hunter and MuzzleFlash already added me to the list, and I guess you are the only 2 I'd be talking to.
