Chapter 4 - surrender

---

Y'ato collapsed. His head was swimming and his legs felt like they were going to fall off. His clothes were tattered and his stomach empty.
In the four days he had been wandering the wilderness to which he had ventured after running from wosaki, afraid that he might end up harming his friend, much had happened. A new political party had started running for rulership over the land. The Conformity Party... Seltor's party.
Being alone for so long had made the voices in Y'ato's head louder. He frequently found himself having conversations with this voice. He didn't want to believe it but with every passing moment, the doubt seemed to lessen slightly.
It was the morning of the fourth day. The last meal Y'ato had had had been at sunrise the previous day, and that had only been a bit of under-cooked game.
Y'ato's vision was blurred. He desperately wanted to sleep but the voice inside had kept him awake for the past four days. Time had no meaning any more. It may have been months for all he knew. A shadow cast over Y'ato causing him to look up.
"You there! What is your name, boy?" a voice - not the one in Y'ato's head - asked.
"I... I'm Y'ato.." He exclaimed.
"Y'ato. You look weak. Need you shelter and food? I can-"
Y'ato's head hit the dusty ground hard as he fell assleep, instantly without the voice.

***

"You gave us quite a scare, Y'ato. What the hell were you playing at?" Asked Wosaki, not unkindly.
"Wosaki... Let me die."Y'ato replied forcefully.
"What?! Y'ato, what happened?" Wosaki signalled the guard at the door to be careful.
"You're in danger, Wosaki!"
"From what?"
"From me"

YAS! had had had and it made sense!
anyways, saribous next

can i make rising water like i did with hl1?

only problem is, i dont normally make water an entity in source.. me is stuck..

do i just tie it to a func_tracktrain?

how do i use this? is it in advanced compile? would i use it like a wadinclude in ol' hl1?

If people are overweight they need to be told. seriously.

and if the threat of diabetes lingers over their head then even more-so.

If they dont take you seriously, or if they find it offensive then its their problem. they're gonna suffer. You shouldnt

After a bit of working out, i managed to get a few custom sounds into the first map i have made for source that i feel is internet-worthy.

anyhoo, i was just wondering if those sounds are built into the bsp or if i'll have to include their folder (to make directory paths correct)

any help?

looks like a devastated-by-vertex-manipulation-square to me..

great effect tho. ur entry is gonna be one to look out for

nice watch btw

welcome back.

BUT STOP SPKIN IN TXT CHT LANG COS ITS RLLY ANYING 2 READ

yeah... i am going for a very reflectivey look but it doesnt matter anymore anyways. the cubemaps were working i was just giving up after seeing the water (didnt look at the rest of the map)

it was just this 1 water texture doesnt like me

rofl, love ur hair. looks very smart being squished by the mufflers

yeah. thats a VERY general windows error window. it pops up after anything closes without u wanting it to.. and with my brick of a machine i see it every 10 mins

i'll do it ffs. starts writing

i only do it to revive this thread. to make urby GET TO THE FUCKING ENDING! ITS EXCITING DAMNIT

Around 1886 Albert Einstein began his school career in Munich. As well as his violin lessons, which he had from age six to age thirteen, he also had religious education at home where he was taught Judaism. Two years later he entered the Luitpold Gymnasium and after this his religious education was given at school. He studied mathematics, in particular the calculus, beginning around 1891.

In 1894 Einstein's family moved to Milan but Einstein remained in Munich. In 1895 Einstein failed an examination that would have allowed him to study for a diploma as an electrical engineer at the Eidgen?ssische Technische Hochschule in Zurich. Einstein renounced German citizenship in 1896 and was to be stateless for a number of years. He did not even apply for Swiss citizenship until 1899, citizenship being granted in 1901.

Following the failing of the entrance exam to the ETH, Einstein attended secondary school at Aarau planning to use this route to enter the ETH in Zurich. While at Aarau he wrote an essay (for which was only given a little above half marks!) in which he wrote of his plans for the future, see [13]:-

If I were to have the good fortune to pass my examinations, I would go to Zurich. I would stay there for four years in order to study mathematics and physics. I imagine myself becoming a teacher in those branches of the natural sciences, choosing the theoretical part of them. Here are the reasons which lead me to this plan. Above all, it is my disposition for abstract and mathematical thought, and my lack of imagination and practical ability.

Indeed Einstein succeeded with his plan graduating in 1900 as a teacher of mathematics and physics. One of his friends at ETH was Marcel Grossmann who was in the same class as Einstein. Einstein tried to obtain a post, writing to Hurwitz who held out some hope of a position but nothing came of it. Three of Einstein's fellow students, including Grossmann, were appointed assistants at ETH in Zurich but clearly Einstein had not impressed enough and still in 1901 he was writing round universities in the hope of obtaining a job, but without success.

He did manage to avoid Swiss military service on the grounds that he had flat feet and varicose veins. By mid 1901 he had a temporary job as a teacher, teaching mathematics at the Technical High School in Winterthur. Around this time he wrote:-

I have given up the ambition to get to a university ...

Another temporary position teaching in a private school in Schaffhausen followed. Then Grossmann's father tried to help Einstein get a job by recommending him to the director of the patent office in Bern. Einstein was appointed as a technical expert third class.

Einstein worked in this patent office from 1902 to 1909, holding a temporary post when he was first appointed, but by 1904 the position was made permanent and in 1906 he was promoted to technical expert second class. While in the Bern patent office he completed an astonishing range of theoretical physics publications, written in his spare time without the benefit of close contact with scientific literature or colleagues.

it is just another mini-mod... Its just a rather big mini-mod.. and has new models and textures... and 6 chapters...

rofl

right. thats me finished my alpha version.. send me ur maps and i'll join them together..

unless somebody else want to

whoops. wrong one

shut up mr.good map..

seriously. Primary school is a load of fun! do you still do circle time?

You just wait 3 years. then.. oh wait. u can count to three cant you? anyway. then you'll experiance 1st year.. in the big high school. First years get heads flushed down toilets. or in your case 'pottys' and get used as target practice for rifle games. they also get bullied.

In fact.. move to Erskine, go to Park Mains high school so i can bully u personally. oh wait.. no by the time ur in high school, i'll be in Uni.. ah well. lucky you

ALL PEOPLE ON TWHL FROM SCOTLAND! I PLEAD TO YOU NOW! GET YER PURE MAD MENTAL NED FRIENDS AND KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL!

as for the rest of scotland, get mapping. we pwn

I'll not do that cos of the .us. International calls cost WAY TOO MUCH

you dont have broadband?!?!

..and you do know that TWHL is south american, right?

McDonalds is a load of crap. i tried almost everything on the menu and the only thing i liked were the mcnuggets.. then that story about someone finding a chicken head in her mcnuggets put me off all together..

but i live in the west coast of scotland. theres a fish and chip shop on every street and y'know what? they're actually good.. that comparing it to the disgusting, fatty american crap that mcdonalds give out.

hey, you shit! i made that as well!

AND USE THE FRIGGIN EDIT BUTTON

and shut up Saribous.

Just cos you yankees dunno how to make it right! TEA PWNS

any wood physboxes (select wood medium in prop data) float no matter how big they are...

you could make it any texture you want and when making it a physbox, make it any material type you want as long as its 'wood' in prop data

Alternitavely, make a cage under it filled with floating barrels like in classic HL2 show-off pysics style

i is teh 1337 geekgoth

you could at least give me credit for making them. harumph

yeup. that appears to be it.. one or 2 of the water textures just dont seem to agree with my system.. ah well. glad thats over..

nobody cares about a spammer, crazed 1... u wont get anything unless u mend your ways

yeah.. breakthrough... i used the cnalcheap_dx7 textures and that solved the problem of the nodraw looking face... but it also means theres no reflections or even wavey water.. just like i had before the new graphics card...

the walls are shiney and when i impulse 81 it all appears to work.. just the water causin the problem

the only problem in the log was 'memory leak'

but that shows up all the time

"Captain kirk, you arent afraid are you? You great big chicken"

nono, the physics objects start above the water and drop into it.. the cubemaps are about 10 units up

lol.. im amazed at this praise. i made it in about 5 mins...

oh wells.

nah, it acts like water and it looks fine when i swim in it and look up through it.. but looking down onto it looks like nodraw.

Nodraw is on every face except the top where i have one of the sewer water textures.

i have 2 cubemaps above it -well spaced and i have a few physics objects in it.. they start above it and drop.

it is nodraw on all sides. i have a DX9 compatable card. its not tied to an entity.. it just acts as though the water isnt there.. as if the nodraw face even on the visible face... its very strange

I have reflective materials in the actual game and in maps iv downloaded. i just cant get mine t'work

lo der!

well, i have never used cubemaps before seeing as i had such a crap PC that it made no difference whether i did or didnt..

Well, iv got a brand psanking new graphics card and HL2 works on high settings so i thought 'eugh. water looks crap. id better use a cubemap'

so put a cubemap in every room of my map and loaded it ingame after a nice short compile and typed buildcubemaps into the console.. it then did this crazy thing at the top left of the screen.. like touring the map... so anyway, the tut said 'restart the map and the cubemap will be saved' so i restart the map and the water looks like nodraw.. it does that multiple image thing. horrible.. any help?

clicks on the maxim advert. whoops finger slipped

lol. thankyou! ha zombieloffe! Once again i have proven that my powers are superior to yours! muahahhahaa

goes to eat cake

Right. DarkKilauea on you go!

yeah, cyberparodies is good too..
