lol habboi u son of a monkey's unshaved ass.

thats me

you know what? im sick and tired of this. people who impersonate the loving, hard working people of TWHL should be given a PAN GALACTIC GARGLE BLASTER, for those who dont know what that is, its an alcoholic beverage that has the same effect of being smacked over the head with a lemon wrapped around a solid gold brick...

*Countdown till official game screenshots are released*

2 day! w00t! everything is lookin SWEET! craig still has to show me his but the others are awsome! muzzleflash's building is BEAUTIFUL! its fantastic i tell ya!
Marfry, working on chapter 6 has given a few ideas of his but no actual screenshots yet....
Im currently tweaking up hs5b_beta and adding a bit of HL2 style wreckage
ColdFeet, working on chapter 3 has proved once again that prefabs can rule the earth with his awsome truck/trick/track tunnel.
And finally, Mercenary, working on chapter 2 has a great idea for his part...

The hs.wad is looking well on my side of the story... havent really seen much of the other textures....

And finally,
Special thanks to habboi for being our news slut and spreading the word by accident... Those screenshots will arrive in your inbox shortly

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/darchibald/hostagesituation/

opera is the clear winner... but the name is.. like.. TERRIBLE!
opera.. pfft... firefox has a good name but nobody can beat the CTB browser....

oh and 9. RabidMonkey is the best at reviewing maps.

Habboi, forget what anyone has said to you. i havent been on these forums as long as you but i have been on long enough to realise a few major things..

1. IEMC is asking to be pinned to a cardboard cutout of Bullwinkle, then pissed on a few times.

2. You are by far one of the nicest people on these forums...

3. Jahzel reminds me of a crazy mexican farmer

4. Seventh is a god.

5. ZombieLoffe has an odd sense of humour.

6. G-kid supplies the best avatars

7. SariBous has great taste

8. THIS FORUM RULES!

did i just type that?

lol linkin park are overrated... i got all three albums cos i used to be a big fan and after years of listening to them i suddenly though.. meh... its too bleh.

download the current version

okay i just finished the actual 'mod' part of our game... We have a custom game with a new splash screen, main menu and steam directory thinngie.....

All we need now are a few models... if we dont get at least 1 model by Monday, i think I'll just use downloaded ones and give the moddeler credit. it would be much better if we had our own work though....
or at least someone from TWHL

Models needed are:

3 Grunt models.. 2 normal dudes and 1 commander...
2 barney models.. 1 barney in casual dress and 1 barney with different face.
1 scientist model... Kliener in casualwear.

Can this be done?
If you can offer your services please do...

Only 2 pounds a month.

-1 AND 0 work... -2 makes it open from start

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

G----------man
Gordon Freeman

great! i look forward to it!

yeah.. the health (shootable if) tab is defaulted to 1 for some reason... ill put one of the buttons at 0 and 1 at -1 and tell ya which one works...

umm.. is it just that map or can u just not host an internet server? i mean people behind routers (like me) have great difficulty hosting. I finally fixed mine by opening a couple of ports that a dude at steampowered told me to open... it works fine now.

wait sorry, forgot to mention that i add target and everything im not THAT crazy... remember it DOES work when i shoot it so paths arent the problem.

I know this is a REALLY stupid question but i just cant remember how to make a button non-shootable.....

I make a button with +ABUTTON4 texture, and set its properties to func_button...

I add a sound, turn dont move on and play.

When i try to press the button nothing happens.. i try pressing E at the button, nothing happens and it turns out i have to shoot it.. why is this?

well i was thinking sort of hitman 2 style, gordon goes down a drapdoor or something into his basement and sort of uncovers his past... gets the Hazzardous Environment Vest and the crowbar, then head out the door and goes to the end of the street...

<<START CHAPTER 2>>

Gordon walks down an eerie, empty street until he gets to barney's house. He gets barney and as they leave back into the street, a bunch of marines pop out and start shooting (later learned that this is because the tranmission kliener sends was intercepted).
You either kill them or run to somewhere where you enter Coldfeet's truck.

<<START CHAPTER 3>>

The truck starts with a jolt and you enter a tunnel, traveling for quite a while and maybe having to slaughter a few marines a checkpoints.
(use opp4 technique for the journey?)
You Then enter the military base and go through a maze of corridoors until you fins the hostages.

<<START CHAPTER 4>>

Fend off marines and aliens while you follow the scientists to a room with a BIG mutherfucka of a machine and they tell you that this is where they are constructing a nuclear device.
Then fend off more marines and aliens while you escort the scientists and barney to a back door,
You then run back through another door into a warehouse.

<<START CHAPTER 5>> HERE

Make your way through the locked door into a deep pit with a nasty garg. Kill it and find the elevator is broken so find another way out into the deep dark tunnels where you find the elevator.
Go down the elevator and come out into a small, dusty room, fend of some aliens and go through another door into a long, stretching coridoor.
unlock a door, start a machine and open another door revealing G-man.

<<START CHAPTER 6>>

G-man laughs manically before telling you that the nuclear device has been armed and dissappears into a portal.
Fend off aliens and grunts down a maze of corridoors until you get to the nuclear bomb... Throw switches, press buttons do EVERYTHING all in the space of 1 minute... MUAHAAHAH!

<<START CREDIT SEQUENCE>>

Gordon and barney ar at a bar which gradually fades as the credits go on....

HALF-LIFE : HOSTAGE SITUATION
A TEAM EFFORT FROM THE FOLKS AT TWHL

Story - THE HUNTER

Chapter 1 'Home Sweet Home' - Muzzleflash

Chapter 2 'Finding old Buddies' - ???????????

Chapter 3 'Rescue Party' - Coldfeet

Chapter 4 'Bigger problem' - ?????????????

Chapter 5 'Shouldnt take more than a minute PT1' - The Hunter

Chapter 6 ''Shouldnt take more than a minute PT2' - marfry

Mercenary and The Killer would have taken up the ????????????s but Craig is hurt and cant map and Mercenary has dissappeared off the face of the planet.

can u use the null textue to fix a map with a leak without jeopradising r_speeds by placing a box around the whole map?

and also, where can i find the ZHLT.wad?

ALthough i think there is a lesson to be learned out of that.... i somehow still find it good... ah well.

No no no.. Check the resembelence... Check the massive ammounts of evidence.. G-man is Gordon Freeman From the future.. It all makes sense. His whole life goes crazy when the resinense cascade happens so future gordon comes back to try to prevent the disaster but fails. So trying to sort things out again, he traps Corporal Shepard o see if he can help...
Failing again, he realises to only chance is to employ past gordon to defeat the combines in HL2 which prevents some horrible future.
However, past gordon still didnt prevent the resinense cascade so the combines will be back and the x-race are the space time continuum police who are hunting gordon and future gordon and couldnt care less about Earth....

Try that for size

SHAPE OF MY HABBOI to the tune of SHAPE OF MY HEART BY STING

He makes the maps as if in meditation
And those he maps never are bad
He doesn?t map for the money he wins
He doesn?t map for respect
He helps the noobs to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of probable outcome
The mappers lead a dance

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this toy
but that?s not the shape of my habboi

He may play the map called train
He may lay the map named cartoon
He may conceal a rifle in his name
While the memory of it swoons

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this toy
But that?s not the shape of my habboi
That?s not the shape, the shape of my habboi

And if I told you that I loved you
You?d maybe think there?s something wrong
I?m not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who smile are lost

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this toy
But that?s not the shape of my habboi
That?s not the shape of my habboi

damn saribous, i wrote a song about u and u cant even reply... Ur dignity falls my man.. it falls

SARIBOUS to the tune of REM - LOSING MY RELIGION

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I played your map

(chorus)
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing Saribous
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't played Dream 1
I thought that I heard you mapping
I thought that I heard you trigger
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my brush sizes
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've played dream1
I set it up
Consider this...
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this...
The lightings trailed
That brought me to my knees
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you mapping
I thought that I heard you trigger
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream1
That was just a dream1

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing Saribous
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't played Dream 1
I thought that I heard you mapping
I thought that I heard you trigger
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream1
Try, cry, why try?
That was just saribous
Just a dream1, just a dream1
Dream1

I LIKE MONKEYS
to the tune of I LIKE CHINESE

The world today seems absolutely crackers,
With noobeh mapping to blow us all sky high.
There's fools and idiots sitting on the trigger.
It's depressing and it's senseless, and that's why...
I like Monkees.
I like Monkees.
They only come up to your knees,
Yet they're always friendly, and they're ready to please.

I like Monkees.
I like Monkees.
There's nine hundred million of them in the world today.
You'd better learn to like them; that's what I say.

I like Monkees.
I like Monkees.
They come from a long way overseas,
But they're cute and they're cuddly, and they're ready to please.

I like Monkee chow;).
The waiters always know how.
Think of the many things they've done to impress.
There's Seventh, Sixth, Rabid, and Chow.

So I like Monkees.
I like Monkees.
I like their tiny little trees,
Their Stealth, their on-crack, their space, and chowcomma.

I like Monkee thought,
The wisdom that Seventh taught.
If Rabid has anything to shout about,
The Monkees will survive us all without any doubt.

So, I like Monkees.
I like Monkees.
They only come up to your knees,
Yet they're wise and they're witty, and they're ready to please.

All together.

[verse in Monkeytalk]
OO AAH AAH EE AH OO. (I like Monkees.)
OO AAH AAH EE AH OO. (I like Monkees.)
OO AAH AAH EE AH OO. (I like Monkees.)
OOH OOH AH EE AH AH AH OOH OO OUWA OH OH OOH! (How are you; how are you; how are you; goodbye!)

I like Monkees.
I like Monkees.
Their chow is guaranteed to please,
A rabid, a seventh, a sixth, and monkees.

I like Monkees.
I like Monkees.
I like their tiny little trees,
Their Rabid, their seventh, their sixth, and monkeychow.

I like Monkees.
I like Monkees.
They only come up to your knees...
