Also, read this (actual newspost, not comments)

I don't believe that he exists until he shows up in front of me and give me a high-five.

Aye, you deserve it.

I see nothing wrong with non-fundamental religion. Believe in what you like as long as it stimulates positive behaviour and lets you sleep calm thinking there's more to your existence than this life.

And fucking hell, Satchmo, great respect for what you did for that child. All in a day's work, eh?

Widescreen's awesome, pretty much every game supports it nowadays. Nice buy, Satch.

Is obsessed with knives and has a rather awesome collection of them. Wants to work/study in Japan. Is one of the oldest, most experienced and helpful members here. One of the few who still haven't started Source mapping.

Hunter: Disabled
Zeeba: I'll talk it over with a couple of folks that may be interested.
WC: Any ideas on whether it's still hosted someplace? Unb himself could do something about it.

The only problem I see here is the over-used sarcasm, which I don't understand all the time.

QFT!

Welcome. Nice to see all these new members popping up. Some fresh blood should work really well for the community. :>

Moved thread to Site Comments & Suggestions by the way.

No real women on the interwebs unless it's porn for that matter.

Moved this topic to Site comments forum by the way. That's where we usually keep our Introduce-yourself threads. :>

The usual mess, new WP.

Would you bother running some obscure image posting app when you already have your web browser handy?

It's a too simple application for me, it hasn't cool features .. things like this.

That's kind of the point. Simple, quick and ergonomic. A single function executed as fast as possible for the users' benefit. That's what the app does and I really see no point in cramming it with features of questionable use.

Being somewhat sick and tired of ImageShack thumbnail code (links to my.php), I wrote this really simple converter. What it does is take the direct link to any imageshack image and convert it to thumbnail BBcode with a direct link to the image.

The auto-copy & paste functions make things really, really fast, where getting the bbcode is a matter of simply pressing Ctrl+C.

Thanks to The Mighty Atom for pointing out various nitpicks in the interface.

Hopefully you'll find this little tool useful. Enjoy and make sure to report any bugs/problems.

Frank Zappa - German Lunch

Ohshi-, better get on mine. D:

Interesting idea, actually. Wayback'd that site and found this bundle, making it possible for anyone with a dedicated PC to set up their own RCS.

...it's possible it IS an April fool's joke.

Doubt they'd have disabled their forums if it was a joke.

We regret to inform you that due to the current economic conditions we are forced to indefinitely suspend the FileFront site operations on March 30, 2009.

Crysis affects everything, I guess.

www.freehostia.com is alright, only some issues with server downtime.

And holy fuck, FileFront's going down! What a shame, t'was a lovely file host. :<

Hmm.. was pretty sure that would work. D:
Maybe it is model-defined? Human grunt ROF is afaik.

You're looking at the wrong function. Shoot() doesn't handle timing, it just fires a bullet and emits a sound (that 0.6 defines volume of the shot sound).

Haven't tested this, but I think the easiest/hackiest way to achieve what you need would be to change

pev->nextthink = gpGlobals->time + 0.1;

located at the top of

[blue]CBaseTurret::ActiveThink(void)[/blue]

in turret.cpp to

pev->nextthink = gpGlobals->time + 0.05;

or a smaller value. Nextthink defines how often ActiveThink is called, which handles shooting, targetting, etc.

Nice work. Give that baby some more badass texturing and you'll have yourself a winner. :>

Is it bad that I still like the 10 year old HL1?

Wash your mouth out with soap! Goldsource mapping is quite acclaimed here. Most of us are nostalgia junkies trying to get the most out of the old engine.

I don't really buy into global warming. It's all part of earth's 20,000 year cycle. It gets hot, then cold then hot again then cold blah blah blah.
It just so happens when we start to pay attention to the earth's temperature, we see this upward trend of C02 PPM, and everyone panics.

Agreed.
One hour without electricity, apart from a minute financial benefit for the consumer, sounds fairly pointless.

Also, nuclear power is indeed one of the best choices, yet its price/eco-friendly isn't always that good. If only someone were to think of a way to destroy/recycle/re-use the waste instead of storing it in extremely pricy underground waste vaults. Furthermore, poorer countries usually handle their radioactive waste far less efficiently/safely, which could be considered a threat to the environment. Constant aid from more developed nuclear countries is a must, which again costs quite a bit.

Plus older nuclear plants, which are both far unsafer and less efficient should be shut down and replaced with their modern counterparts (colossal investments needed; a fairly utopic idea for most poorer nuclear countries).
We've an old soviet-built 2-reactor (originally planned to have 4) nuclear power plant ourselves (her sister in Chernobyl passed away a while ago). The EU is rushing its shutdown, yet the final closing date is being regularly postponed. No surprise here, as the plant currently supplies 70% of the country with cheap electricity with leftovers to export and profit from. With its shutdown (scheduled in late 2009), the prices of electricity will increase five to ten times here, making it even tougher than it already is for your average citizen. I'm sure the situation's more-or-less the same on any poorer country, making old nuclear power technology quite hard to modernize.

However, these renewals shouldn't end up costing much more than huge wind/solar farms would, so guess I'm all up for top-notch nuclear technology in the end. Just put that cash to proper use.

EDIT:
Speaking of the environment, most NPPs also have as much an effect on the ecosystem as wind farms and such. For e.g the water used to cool them usually comes from natural lakes/rivers, creating a fairly big rise of temperature in the area and thus somewhat changing the local ecosystem.

Sounds more-or-less awesome provided those connection speed requirements are at least half-true. Pretty curious about how far this will go. Should be a good thing for Max/Linux users too.

Those zombie bariers sound like an interesting entity challenge. As far as I know, most mods out there make terrorists the zombie team. So in this case, I think a complex setup involving func_wall_toggle, trigger_multiple and game_team_master may actually work. I'll look into this. :>

CS 1.6: THE MOVIE PLOX

Grandmaster Flash - The Message

King Crimson - Court of the Crimson King

What Jeff said, especially if you system isn't top-notch.

Those song names have Anal Cunt all over 'em, Sari.

A Perfect Circle - Orestes

Lookin' great, Mowgli.

WHO'S READY TO BETA TEST?

Shit yeah, sign me up.

I went from a crappy samsung i-do-nothing phone to a sleek new sony ericsson!

Something along the lines of k800-900/w800-900/c800-900, I presume? Great phones, they are. Cheaper, durable and very functional.

My 3-yr-old k800i still works like a charm.

WHAT.

Export as .DXF

Heh, I remember thinking of writing a DXF to MAP converter but never got around to making one. D:

Contact Penguinboy about a custom user title, Yodal.

Hey man my boat has zero off grid vertices WITHOUT hl-fix.

That's the kind of care for detail worth salutations.
/me salutes Tetsu0!

Fold: I doubt any MP and possibly even SP map would be playable with an object with such detail. Just make it a nice showcase map.. and fix those errors!

Eyyyy.. Be cool.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Take me to your leader?

.. er, seriously, you can't honestly expect anyone to help without telling them what the mod is about, what you have done already and what you want to be done.

If you have no media, at least give us a proper outline of the mod's story/gameplay and what you need done. Doubt that'd be enough to atract any decent coder though.

Epic brushwork there, man. Pull that ship off without any off-grid vertices and I will salute you.

Tried it briefly a very long while ago (5 years?), failed miserably, stopped. Haven't touched it ever since.

Frank Zappa - Punky's Whips

I always try going for 96-112 x 80 units for simple doors, 4 to 2-unit-thick railings, 144 to 176 for ceiling height and, depending on what I'm mapping, 16-48 for wall thickness.

The basic dimensions on most sites usually end up looking somewhat small for me, so I mostly add another 16-32 units to each, which looks pretty good.

Lookin' nice so far Mowgli, though you best make sure you texture that tall building facade with some killer textures, as otherwise it may end up very bland.

a fresh MOTM review is also on the way

Make that ten. ;>

Looks absolutely awesome, great work! :]

Piranesi, WC.Half-Life 1 SP. Name the chapter.

Milkshape 3D or 3Ds Max both work. Modelling is fairly complex for a beginner to learn though, not to mention animation. You'd be best off finding someone to do it all for you.

standard "*beep* ... beep beep beep ..."

Oh man, do I hate that one. It defines the feeling you get on monday mornings.

Changed mine a while ago.
