Do you mean you make a scientist do an idle animation in Hammer or are you making a custom one in MS3d?

I don't know what the problem would be if its a hammer error but if its a custom animation then make sure the animation is set to loop in the models .qc file.

Erm...I know. It's supposed to.

I know most of you visited the site at some point but I decided to make this thread to make you aware of news updates.

This way you can keep track of MOD progressions as well as discuss anything in the news that may bother you.

news update July 13th

Hey Bratty. I'm working on 2 major mods. Crabs and HL:Manifestation.

The other 2 are on hold.

I've e-mailed the model anyway.

WOOOOH

*im still an arse... hang on

*i am an arse... sorry about that

I'm in

Real Name: Andrew J S Morris.

cheers. I'll whack that togther in no time but uploading is another thing.

swamped with work. Soon though, soon.

!?!?!?

Not move the mouse? Is that it?

W00t! Urbanebula.tk is no more.

www.Urbanebula.co.uk is born!
(Yes, I'm paying for it )

Update is coming soon to display info on HL:Manisfestation and other upcoming mods. Hurrah.

I'm aware the lights are floating. Also i'm going to thin the lights a bit and make some other i only used point entity lights in the canteen because the textures used as lights there don't actually generate light.

Well I'm working with the (extremely) limited resources available.

2 faces one of which is mine. I'll have to photoshop some faces then.

cha.

Actually if were being totally honest I used a key-gen but it was after it expired and it said to wait for 2 minutes No thanks.(2 minute rule :p)

How does one delete it from his registry?

Just to let you all know that its still coming along nicely. I will update the site soon for the 5 new screenies.

You only get 2 here. Small staff room.Staff canteen. (chairs and tables will be shrunk)

So you want a HD zombie with this guys jacket?No probs.

If you want any more help with skinning let me know. I'd be glad to help.

Get a book on C++. You can learn it in 21 days.

(So they say)

Too young? How do you mean?

Ok, good.

Would anyone like to see a mod using the OpFor engine?

Try a a horror element induced by solving puzzles with your combat skills with a bit of randomness thrown in.

Ah-ha! Perfect Kol. I never actually realised but that is the exact genre of HL:Manifestation. I'm working really hard on that one at the minute because the other team member (Turnipz, my Girfriend) is really pushing me to finish it.

Ah, yes. I forgot to mention that. I'll have to update my site too.

I am now part of a 2 person team. UrbanTurnip.Inc!

Ah, Archtecture tuts. Perfect. Time to get rid of that boring blockiness that curse my every map.

(But i work with HL1)

Pic still doesn't work which means the college probably blocked the site and therefore i can't see it until i go home next tuesday.

O-L-D.

And never judge me little boy.

Re-installing does not work. A crack would be good but is it wise to send one over a forum!?

Yariv your confusing me. Let me just see if i can answer the questions i've picked up on.

1) Yes you can make a sky box around a map and then compile it. It will work. Otherwise you can make a sort of roof with one brush.

2) You can resize the sky texture. I do this because it stops the qrad from having a fit. (just set it to 100.00 rather that 1.00

erm...how about an image that works?

If you aint gona die your CPU will.

Lag?

I have Milkshape 3d but its trial has expired.

I then find you have to pay to register. I AM A STUDENT. I can't afford it.

Is there any other program that works like MS3D. I don't want to use 3d Max cos i can't use it.

If i was to use the opposing force fgd and dll files to make a map would it require players to have the game and CD?

You'd have to program them to.

Any other takers?

• Have you made all 6 sides?

• Are the tga files 256 bit images?

• Have you named them correctly? lfwhatever.tga, rtwhatever.tga and so forth?

Well SariBous i tried. I'm afraid i started from scratch 3 times and it still came out looking like Dr.Spok.

Still does look pretty evil to me though. I'll use it if you like.

The info will be uploaded to my site as soon as the webserver has finished it's redesign. Tomorrow then. Its going to be quite short thats for sure.

No fixed storyline yet but it involves backstabing on account of the bad Barneys

you switched from Kaufman to Mark and back at one point.

eh? oops. Where was that then?

Corrected that, G_KID.

Cheers.

Ah, come on guys. Barney needs faces

Well i got mine done. Now to start working on Saribous

The Crazy frog makes me want to hurt the nearest person. Unfortunatly I'm often alone. I ache in my face.

Worst memory, getting run over.

Which type of theme do you like to see in mods?

A) Horror theme (Scary and very little ammo)

B) Standard HL (Action with grunts and aliens)

C) Puzzle solving (Read a letter, find a key, unlock a door)

D) Unusual (Completely random maps with wierd stuff going on)

If you like a mixture choose only 2 (e.g A and C. Horror and puzzle)

If the room is themed on the person i've got an idea for mine. How about a few scrolls with my fan fiction on.

Just an idea.

Oh BTW. I'm gonna put a proper one on cos i'm not too fond of that pic being online.

Taking it off now.

LMFAO!

Cheers guys

Perfect Saribous! Keep em coming guys.

Mercenary : Just sweep it away from your face. I just need to be able to paste on the base image (barneys face) and it would look wierd if he had bangs!

Don't need a side view Unbreakable.

Chapter 6
Death in the Shadows

?Ok,? said Fitz looking into the bustling outpost. ?You get in there and get us a way through.

?Got it.? Said Kaufman. He ran to the top of the ridge and lay flat on his stomach. It was getting late. The bases lighting system had come on, carving up the sky with floodlights. The light dots shivered on the surface of the water. The sky was a mixture of red and purple as the sun slowly descended below the horizon. ?Shepard?s delight.?

From here the base layout was fully visible, like a recognisance map showing every intricate detail and enemy position. A single sentry was marching on the bank of the river, kicking a pebble across the shallow water. Kaufman knew that this was the easiest part of the mission, clearing his own way into the base. It could be accomplished with a single shot. Getting the other guys through would be much harder.

He aimed at the unwary combine, following his path very smoothly through the scope with a crosshair pasted on the side of the victim?s head. He squeezed the trigger, the kickback forcing the bows brace into his shoulder. The bolt smashed into the side of the combine?s mask. The impact forced a small amount of brain matter out onto the dirt bank. Kaufman rose to his feet and pelted down the hill. He reached the bottom, his legs burning and his ankles throbbing.

He froze as he noticed a gunship on the horizon, scanning the riverbanks. His eyes darted back to the bloody corpse on the edge of the river.

?Oh fuck!? He sprinted across the river, water splashing up his back making him shiver. He reached the opposing bank and dragged the corpse across underneath a collapsed pier. He swung the mask around from his back and pressed it to his face. It let out a hiss as the miniature airlocks sealed the mask in place. Just in time, the beam of light from the gunship swept over him like a sheet of light. He gave a casual wave and the gunship moved on. ?Phew. That was too close.?

He climbed a ladder, which led up the side of the structures concrete supports. He climbed over the top and squatted behind some waterlogged crates. He reached round to the crossbow on his back and set it down on the ground behind the crates. Combine soldiers didn?t carry this kind of weaponry. He took out his next weapon of choice. A small screwdriver slightly tarnished with blood. It was small but lethal and it helped keep kills clean and silent.

The next target was only a few feet away. A metro cop was cleaning blood of an APC?s wheel arch. Kaufman couldn?t resist. He was in disguise after all. He stepped out, the screwdriver concealed in the back of his belt.

?What are you doing?? he asked

?What?s it look like.? Said the combine ?I?m cleaning the crap off this APC. My fault it?s like this I suppose.?

?How the hell did you get blood all over it?? Kaufman asked

?Hit a citizen on his way out of the city.? He said. ?I don?t know why they got mad though. It got the job done. Plus it was bloody hilarious the way he just crippled under the wheels.?

Kaufman played along, chuckling as he reached for the screwdriver. He had heard enough. He rammed the thing down into the top of the combine?s skull. The tip punched through the spongy mask with ease and crunched as it entered the brain. The combine?s arms went tense, squeezing the water out of the cloth he was holding, then he went limp. Kaufman whipped the driver back into his belt as he rapped on the side of the APC. The side hatch opened and he stuffed the body inside, sealing it again when he was done.

He rose to his feet and checked the floor for blood. To his satisfaction, apart from the damp cloth, there was no sign of a killing. He moved off into the nearest warehouse and again hid to access his current situation. Two fully armoured soldiers were supervising a cop working on a hunter chopper. He over heard chunks of their conversation.

?Took quite a beating apparently. The other chopper hasn?t been found yet but I heard that Freeman shot it down from his boat.?

?Took down a hunter??

?Yeah, somehow he got his hands on a gauss cannon and blasted a whole platoon of cops, crippled a couple of APC?s destroyed another and took out a chopper.?

?That must be some boat.?

?Not anymore.? sniggered one of the soldiers ?They found it at Eli?s in the harbour. They?ve destroyed the fucker.?

Kaufman moved around to the side of some huge shipping crates and out of the back door. Maybe the squad could have taken on the heavily armed combine but he was alone with a screwdriver as his primary weapon. Destroying the chopper would have slowed the combine for a while though. Also it would have been a great distraction. Then again the side gate just outside came out onto the main canal. The perfect bypass for the squad but searchlights were sweeping it non-stop.

What should he do?

A) Destroy the chopper and shift the squad through without any trouble.

B) Keep it quite and get the squad to storm the main canal path

C) Continue searching for another route through the base.

Post your pics here along with the name you wish to be put in the credits. (if you post a rude name as a joke i will not use your pic)

Cheers.
