-Chapter 1-
--Waking into a nightmare?

Two corpses lay beside one another, each on shot in the head by a combine sniper rifle. The rear wall of the run down apartment was covered in brain matter and a cupboard had toppled onto its front, its doors shattered by the impact. It was now a coffin for a sleeping man.

Marks eyes peeled open to see nothing but darkness. The sleep crust surrounded his eyelids and he reached up to brush it away. His elbow knocked the side of the wooden enclosure. He paused, reaching upwards to feel the backside of the wardrobe, now the top of his hiding place. He pushed on it and the cupboard shifted on the floorboards emitting a loud creak. He paused again, lifting his knees so that they were pressed against the wooden top and forced it off of him.

The morning sunlight ripped through the apartment giving it a warm orange glow. The battered sofa had been tipped over by the combine during the raid. The two bodies brought back the memory of what had happened.

Mark, his roommate Todd and Lisa, his girlfriend had been planning on moving out of the city and joining a small resistance crew led by a friend on the outskirts. Todd?s brother Daniel had contacted him the day before not realising the line was tapped. The combine raid came shortly after.

The metro police stormed the apartment with stun batons. While the three friends successfully held them back with household items none of them had noticed the blue beam seeking out its target from across the street. Lisa was the first to die. A shot to the left eye killed her instantly. As she collapsed Mark dove to catch her. The shot that was meant for him missed by mere millimetres and struck Todd in the temple. Mark, now alone and crying, curled up on the floor and waited to die. The metro cops approached and engaged their stun batons. The first strike across the back of Marks head knocked him onto his back, the second smashed his nose and he blacked out. He could just make out some radio chatter from one of the officer?s radios. Something about a ?Free man? being nearby and they rushed away in a hurry. A final grunt smashed his baton against a cupboard, which toppled and fell onto the helpless body.

With his best friend and fianc? dead and left for dead himself Mark was going to get revenge or at least kill the squad that raided his apartment. He had been reciting the squadron name to himself while lying under the cupboard.

?Patrol Unit: Delta One Forty Seven.?

He looked at the pale faces of his friends his eyes fixed on Lisa?s engagement ring. He had proposed many years ago before the ?7-hour war? started. They promised to protect each other and they would wed when this was all over. He felt a tear forming in his eye. He rubbed it away quickly. He had grieved enough for now. He had a much more demanding task to deal with. Getting out of City 17 alive. He ran to the closet and opened an old toolbox. Taking out a wrench he grinned to himself and bolted out of the door.

Usually the hallway would be well lit and chattering would be heard from all the apartments. However now the combine had cleared it out, killing the weak and frail while ?collecting? the strong and intelligent. The name ?Nova Prospekt? had been thrown about several times in the past. It was a prison on the coast that had been occupied by the combine a few weeks earlier.

Down the stairwell and out of the front door Mark could smell smoke and the clapping sound of machineguns and loud explosions were all that could be heard. The Citadel was on full alert, its mechanisms and wires all in motion, throwing dust and grit up into the air.

Marks apartment block was on a T-junction. He now had three options to go with the three routes away from his home. To the left was a train yard, which then led on to five miles of cargo shipping canals. This is where Todd?s brother Daniel?s resistance thrived. The right hand route led into the cities old business complex towards the towering Citadel. The final route was straight on which led to an industrial district, where the gunfire was coming from. The resistance had obviously spread the word through the entire city. Rubbing the claws on the wrench in his left hand Mark decided what to do.

A) Go left towards the canals and Dan?s resistance.

B) Go right towards the CBD and the Citadel.

C) Go straight on towards the industrial zone and the fighting.

HL2 is all graphics and physics. The Characters seem real and you can really get into the story. Plus the combine soldiers are cool. CSS is a brilliant multiplayer game.

HL1 is way easier to map and mod for. I hate searching for props!

I'm still making mods for them.

Wow i can't believe you actually replied.

(19:28pm here) Cold in this bloody room but my heater is unplugged to power my phone charger and CD player.

Into the same folder that your HLrad.exe or whatever your using is.

Could be Qrad.exe in your case.

My G/F just got FBI (oops i mean AOL) broadband. I'm utterly disapointed.

Btw, finnish people suck at CS, all they do is tk each other all the time

I PwN foreign clans!!! lol.

Joined a German Clan server cos it was early mornin on a week day and got a nice shiny 65 kills and 2 deaths score. Then i joined a UK game when one finally started and was the best in my team then aswell.

Oh and HL2DM. Don't get me started on how easy that game is compared to CSS. 156 kills 5 deaths.

Oh and BTW:

Green Day - Superhits album.

Or get an EJay prgram and make your own music.

Just a curiosity thread really.

What's the weather like where you are. It's late evening here so its dark and bloody freezing. Just walked the dog.....my god i'm bored.

Yay. I'll leave the poll going until tomorrow morning though. That way i can write it in college.

BTW, forgot to mention. Your first post is the only one that counts so vote once to prevent confusion.

But i want to be able to play it offline. I very rarely get online.

Other than in college and i can't do it there.

It shouldn't be. I'll have to check.

But what about CSS. Thats never worked offline for meh.

Erm...

Try the H.I.T (or HL Improvment team.)

Otherwise try making one yourself.

CSS doesn't work offline! Infact at the minute my steams being a little bitch.

Somthing about not being able to connect.

Multiple choice fan fiction

This is Urbanebula?s Multiple Choice Fan Fiction.

For those of you confused by that sentence (all of you) this is a fan fiction that I write and then you choose how it carries on. It was a massive hit on another forum to the point where people started getting frustrated when I was late with a section. Digital_ice can back me up that one.

Here?s how it works. I post a section (2 sections is 1 chapter) and leave it in a cliffhanger ending with 3 or more choices (A, B, C or D etc) you guys have to post A, B, C or D to decide what happens. I then carry on from there.

As an example here is your first choice.

Urban approached the window and followed the beams of light, which crept between the rotting boards. They finally settled on a dusty workbench on which lay a PC with a Word application running, a Desert Eagle .50 magnum pistol and a lasagne with a small plastic fork placed neatly beside it.

What should he do?

A) Write story (write story.) acquire Item_PC
B) Take pistol and blow my brains out (or don?t write it.) acquire Weapon_glock
C) Eat the lasagne! Mmmm?Lasagne. (eat food then write it.) acquire Item_lasagne, Item_fork.

The choice is yours.

Soon will be the proud owner of www.Urbanebula.tk hosted by Mr. Digital_ice himself.

When making a Counterstrike:Source map is it possible to enter CSS without being online!?

It would require coding. :

this door is not to be used as an entrance or an exit



This isn't really a safety label but its a funny sign.

Sanjo's electricians: We can even remove your shorts

Conan "Generic-man" O'Brain.

Its quite amusing. I'll just watch it for the song.

Hmmm...Half term. I think i might release a map today. I'll just knock one together now. Like ya do.

Oh and if you could leave me out of the pictures that would be great.

Woah!

lmao.

Competition now closed. Goodbye.

Thats one freaky f*cked up Pic!

Milkshape 3d my good friend.

Almost forgot.

Wait wait wait! i have 1 more bit of evidence about my theory of gman being gordon from the future.

You are aware that G-man is short term for Generic man right?

Generic man is a governmental term given to person who may or may not be a government representative. They are everyone whilst they are no-one. etc. etc.

Can i just point out to Worldcraft Dude that the timetable runs alongside Marc Laidlaw's official story line. Its on the net somwhere. Can't remember where. This is the true Background story of Half-life though! The FAQ section is some other guys guess work.

sarcastic bastard

Stop it or i'll find another web server.

3 MINIMODS AND 1 COMPO AND COURSEWORK TO DEAL WITH. BIG HAPPY POST SAYIN SOMTHING LIKE "ITS OUT TODAY!" COMING SOON!

3 HL minimods.

One is subject to a mini compo at the minute. (See "Urb's Compo" thread) which i could tell you about but i would have to kill you, or at least not allow you all to enter.

Another one is a demo minimod. HL:Manifestation which is still in the very very very early stages. May even start again with that one.

The last one is the big one! The Complex. Explained with screenies in my "Coming soon" thread. (maps 'n' mods)

No.

A chance to recieve the mod before anyone else in order to review and give ideas for improvment. Nothing major but you will get a mention in my credits.

Just to let you know that i have released a new map! Hurrah.

Very short and lots of secrets. Also the readme file gives details of a competition with a prize. Check it out.

Completed maps : Challenge.

Ok. It'll be out April 8th or sooner.

England - Market drayton during the week, RAF Shawbury on weekends. Draytons a hole full of chavs and red Vauxhall Novas and i would quite like to leave as soon as possible.

Some of the floppy disk ones are hilarious. He wanted to print off a document or somthing so he rang down to TechSupport saying the printer isn't working and he thinks he's lost his work. Upon arriving techsupp found a floppy disk melted to the rollers inside the printer.

I don't think thats possible. I could be wrong. Lets wait and see

Knew the lip thing. Makes for some good looking doors...???
