Damnit, I need to buy CS:GO sometime. Looking great, guys!
New media from The Core, and both of it's devs came back for a bit?
Had this been any other day, this'd be the highlight!

It could be a runoff to measure pressure in a larger pipe.
The UV mapping is great, though you forgot to set the dial to smooth.

You'll need the .SMD exporter plugin and probably a copy of milkshape 3D to convert that SMD from Source to Goldsource and compile it. (MS3D supports both)
You may be able to just shove the Source SMD into a GS compiler, but I doubt that would work.

Actually, I want to change my vote to ice cream.
Not any specific flavour, just ice cream in general.

French Vanilla. So creamy.
My bad a bit, though. I assumed that since the spoilers had already been released above me, I didn't need to bother hiding them. That was probably a stupid thing for me to do.
How do we know it doesn't happen?
But as for the ending, that's what ultimately left me unsatisfied. It creates a time paradox where the entire events of the movie did not happen. (Maybe 10%) And they ignored the paradox completely, because everything was still the same in regards to the actions of the older copy and reaction to those actions, which never could have happened because he ceased to exist long before he had a chance to do that in his personal timeline.
As one of my friends put it: "It didn't happen. We didn't watch a movie just now. We stared at a blank screen for 2 and a half hours."

Yes, except for more random. The principal fights a deer early on.
But that's neither here nor there. This is the Compo 33 thread.

Not to mention the ending itself. That just...doesn't work.
Goodbye Urby. Though I'm saddened that you, like Archie, are leaving us, I hope to see you around elsewhere on the modding and gaming scene. Your skill and sense of humour have always served to brighten my day, and I'm going to miss having you around here.
Wish you all the best.
"Bon Voyage, and best of luck in your future endeavors"
Yes yes, let's all find a nice scapegoat. One that is considered a minority interest so there won't be a massive uproar if it gets blamed. So much better than pointing the finger at society. Because blaming the thing that actually causes these events could result in changes that prevent it in the future.
CT: The fun and allure of minecraft is something that I find hard to put into words. So I'm going to paraphrase other people I've discussed the topic with:
It's pure creativity. It's like an infinite lego set where you can always find the right piece. You can dig down to the bottom of the earth, or build a tower in the heavens.
Also, it's hella cheap compared to most other sandbox games and there are tons of mods for it.

The lesser-spotted good natured human being
An increasingly rare specimen, this breed of human is known for it's charming coat and ability to increase the happiness level of others. It's twin mating calls, known as "kindness" and "love" are generally regarded as being two of the three most wonderful things in the world, after cake.
Sadly, these noble creatures are being hunted to extinction by greed, and losing their habitat due to the development of new massive cities and "Social norms"

T'was a pretty shitty apocalypse, and I didn't learn a single thing at school that day either due to the fact that 95% of the school didn't show up and classes were canceled as a result.
But I spent the evening/night with some basically all of my friends, most of whom I hadn't seen in months. So that was awesome.

that kind of company is called a bankrupt company.Challenge Accepted.
I will one day work for a company that focuses on quality games first and profits second or third. Third. It will focus on proving you wrong on that point second.
And I will work there until I retire.

Are those checkerboards appearing on the wall? Those are usually black and pink!
I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that that wall has a specular shine to it. If you haven't already, try building your cubemaps and see if that fixes it.

All the news over here is saying is that her body was found.
Of course, IMO, whether the so-called "DJs" that made that call are responsible for her suicide or not, they are disgusting pieces of trash.
Their idea of a joke is to impersonate others to try and get confidential medical information, which makes them no better than paparazzi.
And the zinger? (or what would have been if not for the unfortunate death)
The reason the Duchess was in hospital in the first place was likely due to side effects from the fact she was trying to prevent the press finding out about her pregnancy because they would cause a massive shitstorm over it.

You could just increase the FPS of the animations in the .qc file, I think.

Bethesda mapping

mappingPffftt.... HAHAHAHAHA. Bethesda's tools don't work.
Seriously, though. I'm not sure whether to resent them for having such unstable, unusable tools, or respect them more for being able to actually make such good games with them.
Seeing the title and part of the above post only, I came in with the following post in mind:
"So, The Ship then. But good."
Then I realized you were talking about the ship and not a similar concept in a Fallout 3 mod.
I tried the goldsource "beta" of TS. It was alright at first, but then it quickly got boring.
That said, the compo itself is interesting. But why is custom content kept to a minimum? Surely you don't want brush-based vault doors using stock HL2 metal textures?

Yeah guys, I want to see this made!
Looking around the archive; With all due respect to Atom, we've come a long way since TWHL was first founded.
I love this community, and it seems like I've been here for a lot less time than I actually have. It's quiet here, but it's a peaceful quiet, not a lonely one.

about 100 polygonsYeah, that'd do it. Make sure to func_wall complicated brushwork so they don't create an ungodly amount of visleaves on compile time, especially if the brushes have that many faces. (Just be sure there's some non-entity brushwork between them and the void)
I think your best bet would be to model the net as a sheet with a net material on it, rather than model each string on the net individually, as you'll get better performance from it.
As for the source-specific stuff, you'll want to check out the Valve wiki, since we don't really have much in the way of modelling documentation here.
You'll likely want to make it a prop_physics set to motion disabled in hammer (so it doesn't fall), and give it a grid of jigglebones. Make sure you use collision joints rather than a collision mesh, since you want the net to deform.
I hope this helps, I'm no expert on the subject of modelling for source by any means.

Or you could make her a zero suit instead of the full power suit.
Only semi related, but I was in Toronto today, and I saw a nice scene whist leaving the city; a path next to a meandering river, with round stones on the shoreline and a rock wall in the side of the hill on the other side. All of this under the overpass I was traveling on.
It was picturesque for an urban locale, I think.

I'm just going to go ahead and drool now...
I only started signing up for communities and forums when I started mapping for and modding games. I had no clue what to use, so I went with my first name and a capital 'mod' because back then whenever I had seen someone use the term, it was always capitalized.
It was a crappy idea mixed with a short amount of time but by now it's used in so many places it's not really worth changing, especially when I still can't think of anything better. But hey, it's descriptive(ish) and not exactly common, so I guess it works.

I thought the main quest of Skyrim was to defeat Alduin? Does this mean I haven't 'finished' the game yet?
Really, I'd like a third option for the civil war: Negotiate Peace between the Legion and the Stormcloaks, and kill the hell out of the Aldmeri Dominion.
"Guys, guys! GUYS! Neither of you are really against Talos worship, are you? Empire, you're just enforcing a treaty you were forced to sign. You're not happy about it. This war is doing noone any good. You know who it is doing good for? The Thalmor. You are killing each other off, weaking yourselves, so the Thalmor can swoop down and exterminate any survivors when the dust settles. So instead of killing each other, why don't we kill them instead?"

Heh heh heh.
In other news, I started a new Oblivion playthrough today, and all I have to say is ohgodwhydidIdothat?! For some reason I just can't seem to sink into Oblivion the way I do with Fallout 3 or Skyrim. The combat and environment just seem...lacking. Too long-winded and bland, I guess. I dunno.

I'm on a budget of $0 and I'm not going to be going out at night this year. So I'm going to show up to school on Halloween as a low-level Soul Reaper: (from Bleach)
1 Pair Black Dress Pants
1 White Shirt
1 Black Kimono-style bathrobe

Bingo! I'm not the only one working on the Hazard Course, but I am doing that half of t0a0d, and extending it slightly.
Indeed I am, but do you recognize the area?
I watch the MOTM reviews.
I just never have any constructive comments to make.

I think reissues had some, and I'm fairly sure the citizens at least weren't ported. I seem to recall they had the face and hair of Gearbox's HD dead barneys from BS.
Not sure where else you could download them or if the author allowed those to be used by other people, though.

There's nothing wrong with using the vanilla models Valve made, but IMO, if you're going HD, you should go all the way, past what gearbox made. Personally, I find Ambient.Impact's website has some of the best HL NPC models available, by himself and Romka. They surpass gearbox's efforts in quality by far. Of course, it's your mod, your tastes.
Really looking forward to the final product, LE was a classic, and this promises to be one too!

Landmarks always have to be in the same position relative to the rest of the area the level change is in. You can move the geometry around, but you have to move the landmark with it. Otherwise, the best case scenario is that the level change isn't seamless. The player could get stuck in a wall, the void, etc, if this isn't the case. I could be wrong, but I think this is the cause of the player dying on level change.
Also, make sure the landmarks have the exact same name if they don't already.

Had a chance to watch the trailer. (With no sound, though, didn't have access to my headphones or a set of speakers at the time) It's looking pretty good. I do have one question, though. The NPC models being used appear to be gearboxes' HD models, are they being distributed with the mod, or are they just the models you have in your Valve folder?
IIRC, that was thehalflifedude/Crollo.
If sections of it are designed for human guests, I guess that's fair enough. People like Mossman wouldn't enjoy sleeping upright in the soldier's barracks. 
Even if maps for the jailbreak gamemode are generally comfortable and fancy, that doesn't mean you should break your map's sense of place to match the standard. If you're using get a setting that works with comfortable surroundings, by all means make it comfortable. But the citadel just isn't one of those places.
The Combine don't really care about comfort, you know? Don't get me wrong, the map has some really good parts (I especially like the shape of the ceiling and the skylights) but it seems like it has two themes that just don't match up.

Also may contain coarse language*
*Does contain coarse language. I'm sure it's fine, or will be once it's HL-sized.
If I somehow end up winning, don't bother with the Dota 2 beta, because I'll likely never get a chance to use it. In fact, if Payday doesn't have some form of offline mode/bots, you might not want to bother with that, either, because I'm not sure if people will still play it by the time I can do so online. Someone else deserving can have them.
Door Mats
As a piece of flooring, door mats can be very useful. They provide traction. A place to wipe your feet. You can get ones that say "Welcome" or "Piss Off". They provide a hiding place for spare keys so cliched that most people wouldn't consider you might actually use it.
But they're not perfect. Suppose you step in poop. When you go to wipe your feet on your door mat, the poop is transferred to it, and it gets dirty and smells like poop. And it is extremely hard to wash things out of a door mat, especially if they're the ones made of coarse fiber carpeting, or, god forbid, the same material they use to make shag rugs.
7/10 for Floor Mats.
