A historical moment, witnessed at home: Obama inauguration.
As I posted in this shoutbox, I found an internet-based-game-thing that I think is worth a look from everyone.

It's probably the most fun you can have in a browser. Addicting, too.
Check it out.

Well because of me being careless "Xen Assault Demo" has been deleted from filefront's server. And all my work was in there...after I reinstalled Windows I just realised that I didn't have any backups of the newest Xen Assault files I made (reskinned models, maps etc).
So if anyone still has the .zip or .rar file and can re-upload it somewhere on the net. And hopefully send the link, I would really appreciate it.
p.s: I also tried to "bump" the thread but it seems, i cant bump threads older than 3 months.

HEY! I got a spotlight for Riverpool over at Podcast17!
Have a listen!
Its at roughly 32 minutes in, its worth the wait. I was so happy to hear it, considering the comments from the vault have been rather lacking. I poured my heart and soul into that little room.
I guess people around here expect that I will do good work all the time. I want to do better. I really do want to improve far beyond what I can do now, and continue to impress TWHL with good work, but its a little disconcerting when people do the zombious 'oooh aaah' and all that. Yes, I like the HOLYSHITFUCK kinda comments, they at least let me know I have made someone happy, but if you sit there and complain about the minor details of negative points, how can you enjoy it for what it is? Nothing will ever be perfect, but practice pays off.
Aside from that, they mention about TWHL which brings a bit of recognition to the site. They may check back because of the Rooms compo. Keep up the good work.

Decided to take a break from my big project (which is currently a lot of fiddly maths stuff) to work on something a bit lighter.
I wrote an FGD parser a while back, and thought that an editor might be useful for it, because it can get confusing at times.
For those who don't know, an FGD is the file that tells Hammer which entities it can use in maps. Different mods have different entities, hence the reason there are many FGDs - Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 2, etc.
I don't know how useful this would be to the people of TWHL, as you'd only need to edit an FGD if you have a mod with custom code. But here's some screens anyway.
You can change the classes that a class is based on (it inherits the properties, etc of the base classes), and add some editor-specific behaviours, too (e.g. what colour the entity will be in the 3D view).
There's also the description of the entity, which is shown when you hit "Help" in the entity editor window in Hammer.
You are shown a preview of the class as it will appear in the final FGD file. Ignore this if you don't understand the FGD format.
That's all I've finished at the moment. The Properties tab is half done, and it'll probably be all finished in one or two days.
Not very exciting, I know, but that's what I'm working on at the moment. It'll get released at the same time as my big project, unless there's popular demand for this type of thing before then.

[EDIT]
Updated the albedo/normal and exponent, phew:
Clicky! More clicky!
[/EDIT]
To those who commented on my barrel skin, thanks. I will fix the uhh... poo, and work on that shine. Tweaking phong lighting is a pain, which is what's causing the excessive shine. I copied the settings for the little butane tanks in Episode Two, but they don't really seem to suit the barrels.
Anyway, inbetween Rooms: Source and Volcano, I'm going to reskin all of the HL2 barrels (and other props) for funsies, and I need your help. I want interesting barrels, but I can't think of anything. If you have any suggestions, give us a hand! Pics = bonus points.

A term infant is delivered by emergency cesarean section following the acute onset of maternal vaginal bleeding and profound fetal bradycardia. The Apgar scores are 1, 2, and 3 at 1, 5, and 10 minutes, respectively. Resuscitation includes intubation and assisted ventilation, chest compressions, and intravenous epinephrine. The infant is admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit and has seizures 6 hours after birth.
Of the following, a TRUE statement about other organ-system injury that may occur in the infant is that:
cardiovascular injury is uncommon
hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy usually is an isolated condition
liver injury may result in a coagulopathy
most infants who have seizures develop cerebral palsy
necrotizing enterocolitis does not occur in term infants

This is odd... I was fooling around in a HL mod I made (Different models), and I decided to play the final level (c5a1) I noclipped to the outside of the tram, and jumped into the portal from there. I saw a short camera scene with Gman and the player.mdl model, when I was used to blackness. Intriuged, I quickloaded the game, and crouch jumped into the portal. same thing. So, I went to vanila HL and tested this. nothing. THEN, it occured to me to have the flashlight on. the scene showed up. That's completly new to me, and I thought perhaps not all of you guys knew. Try it!
I bought my first car today, it's a Fiat Punto (Gotta start somewhere I guess) It came with some extras too such as tinted windows and some nice alloys. I'll be able to drive it on the 25th, when I'm 17.
Here's a picture. Orange one.
Also, I went to see the band Architects last night, by far the best band I've seen live yet, I also got to meet the vocalist Sam, he shook my hand and gave me a hug, which was pretty awesome, it's nice to see that being in an awesome band doesn't always go to your head and turn you into an asshole! I also met the drummer Dan and guitarist Tim, so 3 out of 5 of them, I was pretty chuffed. To finish off the night we stopped by McDonalds on the way home.
I also have band practice on Monday, in a disused museum next to an abandoned mental asylum.
I love Wales, full of suprises.
That's all for now!

You are urgently called to the newborn nursery to evaluate a 3-day-old term male infant who is lethargic. The baby was taking formula well for the first 2 days but vomited after his last 2 feedings and has become increasingly difficult to arouse. A review of the record reveals that he was born at 36 weeks ' gestation to a 30-year-old gravida 2, now para 2 woman. The mother is Rh-negative and received Rh immune globulin during the pregnancy. Pregnancy, labor, and delivery were uneventful; Apgar scores were 8 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes. Family history is noncontributory. On physical examination, the baby appears well developed, is very jaundiced, and has hypotonia and tachypnea. He responds with a grimace to sternal rubbing but does not arouse to voice or to touch. Findings on abdominal examination are normal. You order a series of laboratory tests, start intravenous fluids, and arrange for transfer to the neonatal intensive care unit. A laboratory technician subsequently notifies you of some critical laboratory values, including a platelet count of 35x103/mcL (35x109/L), serum carbon dioxide of 4 mEq/L (4 mmol/L), anion gap of 28 mEq/L (28 mmol/L), serum ammonia of 250 mcmol/L, and total bilirubin of 20 mg/dL (342 mcmol/L). There are large ketones in the urine.
Of the following, the MOST likely diagnosis is:
bilirubin encephalopathy
citrullinemia
hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
propionic acidemia
transient hyperammonemia of the newborn

A 2-week-old infant presents to the emergency department with a 1-day history of decreased feeding, pallor, diaphoresis, and increasing somnolence. He was born at term, and the delivery was uncomplicated. On physical examination, his heart rate is 190 beats/min, his respiratory rate is 80 breaths/min, his blood pressure is 50/30 mm Hg, and his extremities are cool and pale with poor pulses. You place the infant on a cardiorespiratory monitor and begin your assessment and management.
Of the following, the MOST appropriate pair of tests to consider in this child is:
complete blood count and bone scan
electrocardiography and echocardiography
electroencephalography and head ultrasonography
lumbar puncture and head computed tomography scan
serum electrolytes and chest computed tomography scan

Question 2 of 250
An 8-month-old infant presents with the primary complaint of irritability. He has been exclusively breastfed since birth. His mother was not interested in providing any supplemental foods because her milk supply has been adequate. Physical examination reveals a fussy infant who has frontal bossing and whose weight and height are both at the 25th percentile. The infant becomes irritable with movement of the left arm. Arm radiography reveals a humeral fracture and bowing of both radii. Chest radiography demonstrates enlargement of the costochondral junctions.
Of the following, the MOST likely diagnosis is ____________.

As I stated in an earlier journal, I was going to start mapping for TF2.
Needless to say, I have. I've probably been working on the following for around 60 hours over the past month or so.
The pictures are a little out of order, but there is a flow to the map, even if you can't see it.
Oh, and say hi to CP_Uranium:
As stated, it is a WIP. Lighting is not final, neither is detail.
You can also see that I don't have any cubemaps, either. Hence the purple and checkered board over displacements.
The gameplay is going to be capture point, but with a little twist. You'll see what I'm getting at in the future.
Still, I'm fairly please with what I have so far. Mapping is a lot less boring that I remember.
Feel free to comment / make suggestions.
