It does, although I think I remember there being a post on how to do that in an old thread on mapping tricks. I shall try to find it.

I haven't failed with that. I'm too busy mapping.

Welcome back. I can't say the same thing has ever happened to me, because I've never even released a proper map. But I'm working on it...

Apologies for the lack of anti-aliasing:A picture of serenity, the rocket's second stage far below.My new rocket, codename 'Altimonster'A name well deserved. (Look at Jebediah, the crazy bastard!)

[Edit] I decided to leave that ship going for a few hours, and it had only slowed to about 2200m/s. I've got a feeling it would end up in deep space. Or the sun.

A mistake was made.
That was quite silly of me.
The Black Plague was bad.

Your third line was wrong.
There were only three of those
Silly syllables.

That sounds completely and utterly awesome. The only reason I ever wanted Garry's Mod was because of Spacebuild. I like the idea of building rockets.

It took me almost
a whole month tho change the
avatar I had.

That's not really a
Haiku, it's just a sentence
that is broken up.

It's interesting how half of the people who played Far Cry 2 hated it, but the other half loved it. It's the only game I've ever heard of that people only take extreme opinions of. I rather liked it.

Yeah, it's default. I just set it to Black with transparency enabled.

Had a dream last night where Archie found the fuselage of a plane that had crashed in the desert, and he had recruited all of TWHL to make a really fancy house from the shell.
I was given the only remaining room from the second floor of the plane, so I was basically working on my own. There was a creepy guy wearing a bowler hat who I kept seeing outside of the plane, always staring at me.
I was kind of waking up at this point, but I was also wondering where this guy came from. At this point, I felt something at my side, as if someone had put their hand on my bed so they could lean over and stare into my face. I actually shuddered in disgust before I realised I should also be terrified.
That was a weird experience.

Thanks, I'd never heard of it being mentioned so I had no idea.

There has been a few times when I have been clipping where I accidentally pressed some combination of keys, and Hammer started showing me measurements for the sides of brushes being clipped in the 2D views, like this:This seems like it would be really useful, but whenever it happens I end up accidentally pressing those keys again, making it go away, and I don't know how to bring it back.
So my question is, has anybody seen this before? And if they have, do they know how to turn it on, so that I can bring it back when it inevitably goes away again?

I want Portal 2. :It's a top down view of a Sierpinski pyramid fractal. And I had to manually add the taskbar to the original png because I haven't managed to stop Windows putting jpg artefacts into my wallpapers when I save them.

I made a pinhole camera once at school. Took a photo of a tree, but the desk the camera was sitting on was wobbly and it was windy, so it came out blurred.

I think there was an example map that dealt with this, I'll try and find it for you.

[Edit] It was done with pushables.

It would probably be better for the Apache rather than the Osprey, there doesn't seem to be much room for troops in it. Unless of course I modify it to make a troop transport. :
And I would make a model, but it would be useless. I need to get 3DS Max. :

And Lego is awesome.
I was supposed to be getting some for my birthday but it never arrived. D:

It is based of a photo of a Lego spaceship I found.I decided to build it, and then make a little area around it to display it. I'm actually going to modify the design to reduce the level of plagiarism somewhat, and then it will be used in my current mapping project.

The funny thing is, that tends to be one of my failings at mapping. I concentrate so much on making everything realistic that my brain melts and I don't finish.

Meet the Yiang class gunship. Because while US vs China has been kind of done to death at this point, it hasn't been done to death enough.Also, I like Urby's first pic. I like clean, there wouldn't really be that much reason for an administrative area to be too dirty.

That sounds weird as hell. Who needs drugs when you have intense dreams?

I would vote no for the same reasons as Darkie.

I'm a bit late to the party. A bit.

Last night I had a dream in which me and a friend (I assume, I don't know who it was) stole an experimental inflatable bodied helicopter from a military base. It had seats side by side, and for some reason it had tandem controls. The friend used two joysticks, and I used one. We flew around a bit, doing different things, and eventually ran low on fuel. We flew back to the military base at night, and refueled in secret. We flew away again, and did some more things. Eventually we returned it back to the base, and managed to get away without the various security teams capturing or identifying us.
All in all, I think it was a good dream.

Crollo: I would have at least one of those programs, but I'm extremely short on HD space at the moment. Hence the whole thing about getting a new hard drive.
Although I wasn't aware that they're unusable. I gave Joe that model and got a working one back after a while. :
I shall have to learn not to make assumptions.

I decided I would model something that one day I would try and get working in Half Life, in the hopes that if I ever attempted to make a mod I would at least have learned how to complete custom weapon models. So I made an M4A1, with a Grenadier variant. I made an M16A4 as well, because why not.

After this, I will try and do a few models that could be used as world models. College is going to start soon, so for a few weeks I'm going to try and live cheaply so I can save up for a hard drive and free up some space. Then I'll try and get Photoshop and 3DS Max and such, so I can texture my models and stuff. Next stop after that, learning to code!

Some day I will start to model things other than just guns. That day will be the heat death of the universe.

I would add myself to this thread, but last time I tried voice acting I never managed to get a quiet moment alone to do it. I believe the mod it was for is dead now anyway.

Meh, I might do a voice test tomorrow. Just in case:
Voice Actor, Male, Deep voice, Unknown Accent.

Looks very nice Mr Mix. I certainly hope that it gets released.

I had a dream last night, but I only remember one bit from it. I was washing up, and I poured cold water into a hot glass. It cracked, and for the next twenty minutes I thought it was about to explode. Odd.

Also, that made me lol Jeffmod.

I don't have a Google+ account, but if I got an invite I might join.

[Edit]: Thank you Striker.

Linky!

Danke Schon meine freund.
And I must say your work also looks brilliant. Is this in a spaceship or inside an apple computer?
But seriously, it does look really nice.

I have finished the L22. I made the irons as well as the SUSAT. Both are the most complex things of their types I've ever done. D:I wish I could do all the stuff to put it in game. D:

Interesting idea, but I doubt it would ever be finished.

Third.

I saw Captain America recently. Everyone said how terrible they thought it was, I thought it was quite good.
I also saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes the other day. I wasn't expecting it to be good, but I was pleasantly surprised. I also liked all of the little nods to the old movies.

Haikus are poems.
Five syllables, then seven.
Then there are five more.

I tried that once. I began to see and hear things, tiny sparkly lights and children singing. At one point there was a sound like someone talking on a radio with really bad sound quality. However I didn't feel paralysed at all, then I fell asleep.

Satchmos post just made me laugh out loud. All that discussion rendered pointless by one single post.
But seriously, a cure for the common cold would be brilliant. I hate having a blocked nose.
I shall have to read the article in question when I get home.

I know that feeling Soup. I've had similar dreams before.

I did an IQ test for school, and I got 144. And I agree that they are quite silly tests.
Also, what the hell happened to this thread? This will be my only post. Unless I've posted already, then it won't be.

It is Sketchup. There is an SMD plugin,in fact I made a new MP5 model for Joebama that's now the skin I use for the MP5 in HL. It's just that I never got round to learning how to UVWrap and animate them and stuff. But if I get my hands on a new hard drive this year and make space for a copy of 3DS Max, I might end up putting some in.

@Zeeba - The triggers on SA80's are pretty huge to begin with. Although the shape does need a bit of fine tuning on that model.

Longish post:
I've had a few silly dreams lately. A few nights ago I had a dream where I had an airsoft MG42. I have a few friends who like airsoft, so I expected them all to be jealous, but nobody cared.

Last night I had a really weird dream. I was in some kind of arena, the sides were made up of buildings that looked like they were from the old west. It seemed to be some kind of place where you could battle someone to the death for fun. I got the impression I often used the place, and I had a scoped rifle in my hand, apparently my favourite weapon. I climbed up a ladder to a metal platform, to snipe my opponent from. When I got up there though it had inexplicably become really narrow, and I couldn't stay on there without holding on to something. At this point I realised the only ways down were falling, or trying to get back to the ladder to climb down. Even though I knew it wouldn't harm me because it was a dream, I didn't particularly relish the idea of either option, so I forced myself to open my eyes and wake up. I fell asleep a short while later, to find myself at the bottom of the ladder in the arena. Since I couldn't effectively use the rifle, I took out a knife and proceeded to try to find my opponent. We ended up fighting with knives, and even though I was more accurate with my stabs, nothing seemed to hurt him. He grappled me to the ground, and slashed at my eyes. I stabbed him again, even though I was blind I felt the knife go through his spine. When that didn't work I aimed for his wrists, to sever the nerves and tendons. Once again, I felt the knife go through, but it didn't affect him. I ended up losing the fight, to my dismay. D:

tl;dr: Stupid magic cheating cowboy beat me in a knife fight.

Here is an L22 Carbine. It is missing the dust flap, and it doesn't have a SUSAT yet. It had to borrow an Aimpoint from that Bullpup AK.

I am not on a list that I have done nothing to deserve being put on! I am indignant!

I found a mod that allows you to make airships out of world geometry. At first it was cool but I got bored of it surprisingly fast. :

It just mentioned on the news that the government is now allowing the police to use water cannons and plastic bullets. I've got a feeling that these riots will soon burn out.
