Yeah, the game is awesome like that. I built and enchanted a bunch of junk just to increase my skills so I can get really good at it. It's really nice how Bethesda lets you build your own extremely powerful gear from scratch, as long as you have the right skills and materials. I hope to one day have a massive enchantment score, so I can enchant my gear and not make it something crappy like I did with my ebony bow. (Still the best bow I've come across, and it's better than a standard one, but not by much)
I was imprisoned for a crime I didn't commit. (again) What happened was, I walked into town, saw a murder, began to investigate, then the town guards framed me for another murder they did, and tossed me in prison. This was not a nice prison, with beds. This was a work-but-not-release prison. I broke out. I got my stuff, and got the hell out of town, and I'm probably not going to that nice-architectured hellhole ever again.

Dimbark, you're like the poster-child for why the broadband-native generation need to be monitored by an adult at all times.Fixed that for you.
Seriously dude, grow up. You're 12, start acting like it.

I think the mp3 has to be uncompressed. Try taking a look at the gamestartup.mp3 of another mod and see it's properties (channels, bitrate, etc.), then modify yours to match using audio software.
Brendan: Well, I had a sword, and magic. While it was hard on my health, it wasn't exactly hard to do. Besides, I wasn't going to kill an innocent person for her, and I was tired of her underlings trying to kill me.
(Okay, I did kill one of them, but that was me going back to a previous save to see if I could solve the puzzle. I didn't want to join the DB, at least not in this playthrough.)
As for the party, that's part of the main storyline.

I went to bed one (ingame) night in my home, and woke up to a rather lovely lady sitting on a cupboard in a blood-covered shack. She informed me that I had infringed on one of her jobs, and for compensation, I would not be able to leave the shack until I killed someone. She laid three potential victims in front of me, and told me to go ahead.
As it turned out, she had really nice enchanted gear.
I also attended a rather nice party where I saw a few familiar faces. Luckily, one of them owed me a favor from when I saved her town from vampires, and I was able to slip away and get some food from the kitchens. As well as a few interesting books and some sword wounds.

Thanks, the M16A4 or the M1911? They're both Colt products.Touche. I meant the M1911, I forgot that the M16 was manufactured by them. Although now that I can see the full image of the M16, it's great too.
Looks pretty good, if a bit...exaggerated in certain areas. Maybe a bit too big for realism. They also need to wear a ridiculous tie as per Employee Dress Code Section C-28b. I'm assuming there are four heads like the basic scientist?
As for modelling, I got into it to supplement my mapping and modding in general, but as it turns out I'm not very good. Which is why I haven't shared any of my terrible eyesores. Also, Crollo, that is a damn sexy colt.

Decided to try my hand at enchanting items tonight. Took apart my Imperial Bow of Burning to learn how to make things do fire damage, then enchanted my more powerful (and upgraded) ebony bow. The way I did it it only does 1 extra point of fire damage, (I assume it's ongoing, haven't tested yet) but it'll do that extra point for over a thousand uses.
I might enchant my sword when I get a chance, too.

Archie: Thanks. I'll try that next time I play.
Skyrim has Aurora Borealis. It's almost as good as the real thing, but with a smaller range of colours and movement. I urge you guys to look up at the sky during night in the frigid northern half of the map.

I'm playing as an archer and sneaking around a lotWhat a coincidence. Me too.
About to leave Whiteridge after getting a bodyguard. Not very far in, but I'm definitely enjoying it. Can't wait to see what the rest of the world has to offer.
The interface is a bit different, but I'm starting to adjust to it. FO3's pip-boy was much simpler to use.
EDIT: It's significantly harder to go on a murderous rampage in Skyrim than the Fallout titles. This is likely a good thing. Unless you seriously want your character to go on a murderous rampage for keeps. Bethesda seems to have taken themselves more seriously as well, but fortunately not 100%. The end of one of the Lockpick skill books in particular made be laugh my arse off. The one thing the game is missing is the ability to pick things up. Once I get a house, I foresee having difficulty decorating it with random books and items. Also I have to shout to get corpses to fall off bridges.
Now for some less review-y text: So far interesting things I have seen:
*The ethereal form of the Headless horseman. I swear it's true. I would have caught him too, if I hadn't gotten attacked by a wolf.
*A speaking statue.
*A flying horse with a rider. 95% sure it was a glitch.
*Ridiculously overpowered giants. I can kill a freaking dragon with no problem, but two hits from a monster under half the size with no fire kills me and sends me flying literally into the stratosphere.
*Hours of fun

I honestly don't know what I wish.
Although it would be nice if we could stop wars or get a decent space program. Or skyrim. Really, a lot of the things in this thread would be nice. Just remember: If the wording of a wish isn't exact, it may bite you in the ass. For example world peace could equal a totalitarian government.

Couldn't you do the randomness by a large scale version of our latest tutorial? It would take a whole lot of entities, but I think it might be possible.
Joe: That looks a sight better than the other HD 'gus' construction remakes I've seen. You even got a custom face texture true to the original, instead of reusing Otis' face. Are you going to remake the old animations too, or reuse some barney/scientist ones?
I'm not going out for Halloween, but I'm thinking that for school I'll put on a stack of hats and go as the embodiment of a certain game. It works because most of the people in my class would get it. (And nobody else in the school)
Or you know, goes gold and is officially released.
Ugh. Too many spoilers in that description. Now there's no point in playing the mod, because we already know exactly what will happen, down to the ending. It does seem like a solid base, which can be made into a great mod, but perhaps you want to shorten the part you've revealed, and add the "sequel" as the second half of the mod?
EDIT: Perhaps the first part of the mod could be, instead of a mindless scientist slaughter, a stealthy escape from the labs as the player (perhaps weakened due to lack of armor/under 100 HP) avoids security forces (Barneys, and maybe a few Hgrunt shotgunners using a custom model with the barney meshes instead of the soldier ones) and scientists (who could alert security either by running to them, calling for help, or hitting alarms) on their way out. Give them only a weak melee weapon and make sure there are no readily available supplies, and you could create a tense feeling in the player. (The trick would be to do this without making it annoying) Maybe you could get a coder who can do a shadow-based stealth system (or fake one by using creative entity setups)
Just think of all the cool stuff you could do! (And don't reveal it to the general public if it has to do with the plot)

So
Shut up, Dimbark. Spam somewhere else.Sorry, but it seems it has to be said multiple times.
I seem to recall I had this problem the first time I used Hammer. It turned out I didn't have an .fgd that was registered in my game config. You'll need a half-life .fgd (or equivalent for the mod you're mapping for) before you can map properly. Unfortunately, VERC is long gone, so the fgd link in the Links section won't help, and I don't know of anywhere else to download it.
Yeah, if they don't spawn on the island initially, they likely won't. Animal spawns have been much rarer since Notch made them permanent.
Hey rim, if you have prerelease 4, could you open up your island world and give us the new seed?
I'm debating on whether to get the prerelease. I'm still using 1.8 but I don't want to run into any bad bugs.
So last night I cleared out the first dungeon I've encountered on my main survival world. I went in, popped a few torches, quickly attacked the spawner with my sword, broke it, took the loot and left.
I then realized that I wasn't lucky, but merely still had the game set on peaceful from my last jaunt through creative mode. Having world-dependent difficulties would be a nice touch.

It's not a secret if you can figure out who made it, though.
Also, I hope people aren't going out of their way to make crappy maps just to slip their recipients up. I don't want to be answering PMs about whether or not I was someone's secret santa all holidays.

Can anyone confirm?Yes, that's happened to me as well.
If it shoots parts of the scenery, moves, and has health, you'll either need to use spirit or code an a couple of NPCs (one for the tank, one for the targets), I think.
Try experimenting with masters on visible turrets, to see if you can disable them from firing. Then combine that with an env_render.
Failing that, an invisible func_wall_toggle in front of the turret might help, but possibly won't do too well depending on where the player can go.

If it's hgrunts, rappelling might be acceptable. If not from the roof, from a hole in the ceiling of the room would work.
Cool! How's it work?
I can't think of any way to do it in goldsource... Would a change in height, like a raised platform with railings all around it work? Or is this for melee-only enemies?
Fun fact: Over the few days this compo has been running, Hammer 4 has crashed more often, and in more diverse ways, than it ever has before. Including errors messages I've never even heard of.
Yeah, some would be more likely to pull out a knife. And throw it into your throat.
On topic, I'm [shrugs] % done mine. I think it's nice so far, considering how unfinished it is, but it's not a masterpiece. Not yet, anyway.

What are you talking about? There are two.
The rules don't mention skyboxes and the pack doesn't have any; Am I correct in assuming we can use any vanilla skyboxes?
Hey, I can receive Goldsource too! Change that entry to both!
There was also an issue where the videos they made were getting muted because it used a 15-second or less copyrighted music clip. (Which is a bullshit reason to do something like that, shame on you, Warner Music Group)
HL2 works for me receiving now.
...Not really. It would be a waste of a (now) fairly rare resource when you've settled down somewhere. And I find it somewhat disturbing that you find the concept of neutering humorous.
They're not all priests. There are 6 variations, one of which is just ordinary villagers. They do mostly tend to wear robes, though, which is weird for non-priests.
EDIT: Is anyone else not getting any sound but NPC sounds and water sounds in 1.8.1? Like, no mining sounds, item pickup sounds, footsteps, etc.
EDIT2: Okay, I don't know why it happened, but I think I know how to fix it. Apparently minecraft's launcher only downloaded the newsound folder when it downloaded the game. I'll have to get the other 4 folders from a friend monday or something.

Same here. GS is the boss.

I hate to bring this back up, but I want Herobrine in the game, a very rare sight but some creepy stuff happens when he comes.As much as I hate dimbark going on about him, I agree. Notch should discreetly reintroduce him (and find a way to make him invisible to modders) to keep the creepy ghost story alive.
Maybe have the default character skin stay in the game even when the player is using a custom one, but also replace the eyes with different boxes that are completely white?
