Elon, use <quote> and </quote> next time...

some of the grass textures do it automatically

maybe its gonna eat that cute li'l critter

i must be missing something obvious, but i cant get yours, pepper

i think 'The Doctor' in Voyager is one of the best characters. A Hologram designed for emergency work only finds himself forced to treat for the whole crew, and how staying online 24/7 lets him learn...

Star Trek - Not seen enough to judge

Next Generation - Lol pwn

Deep-Space 9 - God-awful

Voyager - The best.. actually has a decent story..

Enterprise - Pfft. Enough, already.

in the mean-time can you post a screenshot?

@Rimmie - I'm full of the good stuff

@Nickelplate - Oopsie

@Madcow - Cows have ears?

can i make a suggestive rule?

along the lines of
"Dont just google an image of something related to the person and throw it in the thread..." Spend some time to make something. It'd be much better.

just a suggestionTook all of 10 mins to make in Photoshop..

Need i mention who it portrays?

M_Gargantua - Mod Leader

Ahem? Getting a bit ahead of yourself there, Gargly

hmm? but you're not actually part of the team

I searched "acess denied" and got about 20 hits, all with your problem, and they all have the same answer.

unless you didnt notice

* Windows gave the error message:
"Access is denied."

in your compile log...

moddb name = pk_hunter... Update the members list to include pepper, and to disclude Unbreakable.

right. This is how the mod stands now.

Chapter 1 - MuzzleFlash
Chapter 2 - TBA
Chapter 3 - chickenfist
Chapter 4 - Daubster (saco?)
Chapter 5 - The Hunter
Chapter 6 - Gargly Wargly

Modelling and skinning - Pepper
Coding - MuzzleFlash

Publiciser - Habboi

Various Little things - Rimrook, Unbreakable, David

Finaliser (final compile, completes level changes between chapter etc) - MuzzleFlash

Of course, dont include Habboi, Rimrook, Unbreakabel or David

Man... this thread has actually ruined a really good day for me.. Totally not your fault, Tycell... Its just, i hadn't even thought about it today, and now i cant stop...

yeah... i sorta started recreating de_splinter for source, and started planning possibilities for Chapter 2, Hostage Situation... And making my room for Dedication 2...

It'll get done... But not until i'm bored of my other projects

A week ago i got dumped by my girlfriend...

She didn't even give me an excuse..

Hurt appaulingly, especially since i really felt we getting on amazingly and that she was so beautiful... <sigh>

Still not over it...

well, in order to help, can you tell me the difference between them both in game?

because it could be as simple as the difference between a de_map for CS or an fy_map (dont include a bomb zone)

you'll need the NS .fgd file...

i think that only people willing to submit a proper photo should get special privelages like music in their room.

if you have WONHL, set up your config to run with WONHL (non-steam)
so that your hammer is looking for .wads and game directories not in the steam folder.
Compile your map and find it in the half-life/valve/maps folder, copy it, place it in
steamapps/<name>/half-life/valve/maps.

I always find compiling with steam to be a pain in the arse, so just compile with WONHL and copy it over.

in Britain, we consider people like that to be hawt <RAWR>

hmm. im not sure im gonna get mine done in time.. I thought BIG

i just mean the TWHL channel, though.. gah..

It barely has more than 20 regulars...

this mod looks yummy

yes it does, i was merely pointing out that

Very few people use IRC

And who mentioned MSN?! :S

you helped for a bit ages ago.. Like, you were apparantly going to do chapter 4 (but decided not to) and i seem to remember you said you would help with some small stuff. Although i haven't asked anything from you, i might in the future and its nice to pre-credit

Unless of course you're totally opposed to providing help for the mod?

I don't know how to say this, but i just got news that i'm moving, plus i got college right after all that. so i'm gonna have minimal time for atleast a few weeks. I was told about this a few months ago but i didn't remember. I'll let you know if i can turn anything up.

On the other hand, i can support you guys with textures, graphics, etc. It's not a complete loss. Just keep me posted on your progress.

-Rimrook in THIS thread

i like the sound of this

Hm and you can thank me for the catapults

Maybe you could make a hammer equivelent of the trebuchet-style catapult i showed you how to make in gmod? That'd be good for this sort of map.

..wtf!?

www.weebitmagic.com is my domain. Yes it has a gay name, but my father named it.

if you want, i can do weebitmagic/<name>, but i thought you would prefer <name>.weebitmagic.

it is NOT a hosting site :

IX webhosting is the company that we bought it from, and as of yet there is no content on weebitmagic, so it shows a construction page with a bunch of IX webhosting ads.

FFS! just take my word for it. it is NOT a sub-domain, it DOES have a gay name but is it really a problem?! its fast, reliable and has a very VERY large ammount of space, perfect for our mod.

Also, you remember the name weebitmagic, which i think was the reason for my dad choosing it...
He wasn't gonna pay for half of it (which he is doing now) if it was called www.hostagesituation.com because he wants use of the domain too.

NOT a sub-domain
NOT a hosting site

yes, the HS part will be a sub-domain, but weebitmagic itself is mine.

I hope that cleared up your doubts :/

if it has info_player_deathmatchs in it, then it will be listed.

Your problem - You have put in info_player_starts instead of info_player_deathmatchs.

How to solve - open your map in hammer, go to the entity report, select all info_player_starts and hit 'go to,' then change them to info_player_deathmatchs. compile. play.

its not a sub-domain!!!!

weebitmagic is mine!!!

the domain is www.weebitmagic.com (EVERYTHING was taken)

the HS one will either be

www.hostagesituation.weebitmagic.com or www.hlhs.weebitmagic.com

/me cringes...

AAAAK!

the ammount of gunk i just removed from underneath my keyboard is.... disgraceful...

Hair, nails, peanutt skin, random sticky gunk, dust, dandruff, blue string, hundreds of bread crumbs, several wood chippings (wtf) and more dust...

no... im paying for a domain..

The chicken, through evolution... idiot.

The egg, from dinosaurs... idiot.

WE ARE NOT USING A FREE HOST >_<

i know weebitmagic has a gay name, but it cost a lot and i'm not wasting it!!!

yeah, lets get some more media up...

i love it Gargly. A coupl'a things to fix/add

1) the list

.: Team members: :.
The Hunter - Mod leader, level design MuzzleFlash - Level design, coder Pepper - new models Chickenfist - Level design Daubster - Level design M_Gargantua - Level design

Needs something seperating the members

2) put hostagesituation@weebitmagic.com in the contact list.
(i'm setting up a mail account with my domain tonight)

3) put the chapter 5 video in the media section

4) Is that a free host? If so, let me host it with my domain... It'd be something like
www.HostageSituation.weebitmagic.com

... Why cant you spell connection?

Jobabob's sweet, rich Brittish humour was rubbing off on ZL... He came onto Muzz's server yesteday and was.... sarcastic

aw no, Unbreakable AND Rimrook are entering?!? damnit, i figured i had a chance since Kasperg cant enter, but now im fucked..

its been discussed so many times, Unbreakable... The majority liked having 1 compo running each month.

.. what error?

but what about Rimrook winning the HLDM compo? or does that still count as an un-official

Actually, they probably can... I mean, we're quite far behind on winners' compos, aren't we?

The next compo will be a source one, and i'm pretty sure there is somebody still to choose that idea..

It'll be a couple of compos before the winner of this one gets to choose, won't it?

After playing condemned, i feel its only proper to write a bit of a review of it...

---

The game recently got a very warm welcome from the Xbox 360 community, and to be honest, the only reason i think it got that positive response was because they didn't have FEAR to compare it with...
How to make a game like Condemned: Criminal Origins

First, take a completely un-original idea that has very recently been a huge success on the PC. In Condemned's case - F.E.A.R

Then, instead of using this idea cleverly and originally, masking its origins with great level design and gameplay, follow F.E.A.R to the smallest detail...
I mean, litterally. It's a couple of hours of playing condemned before you even remember you're not just playing fear on an over-rated console. I mean, it goes as far as pretty much using the exact same sound effects. The first level is such a blatant copy of FEAR that i'm amazed the Xbox community couldn't see that it's FEAR simply from screenshots... Ah well..

Then, create a large number of cool weapons, place them just before huge, difficult fights but forget to give them ammo No, really... It does this. I picked up at least 4 guns in the game, that i only used once because NEVER throughout the whole game did i collect ammo for them...

Finally, add a repetative (although pretty scary to begin with) combat system, sweeten in with some cool blur effects and call it your own game
The combat system goes like this - pick up something from the evironment.. "anything" was the impression i got from all the hype, but in fact, the 'weapons' are very obvious items, placed specifically in locations near bad guys, rather than in realistic useful places.
Each weapon has invisible block, attack and weight values.
And that's how it works. You have to block an insanely fast attack from an enemy thats jumped out at you (im talking split-second reactions on a console.. doesn't work) and if you dont, you get butt-raped. quickload

Oh, did i mention that one of the game's flaws was that it allows you to quick save in the most perilous of times, without telling you that its a stupid place to save... In HL2 for example, you always 'know' when there are going to be hideous raping zombies coming after you. And you 'know' if you have enough health to deal with them...

In condemned you dont, and maybe that's a good thing since it adds a fear element to the game, but frankly, i found it outright annoying as i had to replay several section from the last autosave...

Anyways
You have to block an insanely fast attack from an enemy thats jumped out at you (im talking split-second reactions on a console.. doesn't work) and if you do, you then proceed to whack it across the chin with your makeshift weapon. Then then next hideous creature, and then the next one.. That was fun- oh wait, more. Then the next one, and the next one, and a few more after that, and another.. Oh look, a bad guy.

Must. Stop. Getting. Bored. Of. The. Same. Model. Used. For. Every. Bad. Guy. In. This. Level.

Yargh!

Sorry, but the only thing this game seemed to have going for itself was incredibly uber animation, and some very impressive AI (or maybe it wasn't, but every level was the same so they could have scripted the attacks ffs)

Not worth getting when it's released on to PC. Get F.E.A.R

there has to be something wrong with the compile.. post the log

Zombieloffe

I'm sure he's a good mapper, but what are you basing your assumption on? he's never finished a map...

not really... Very few people use IRC...

wtf....

Guys, don't submit your maps so early. You won't win. Work on them and make them GREAT

i love this team. You're all such good workers.
