Forum posts
Especially after posting a Cannibal Corpse song, amirite?
Next person to post a pointless bullshit like Tuna, or to post an image without actually contributing to this thread gets a smack in the face.
Yeah, this thread is done.
I'm for making them stand out more, just not in that way. A change in background colour is probably all that's necessary.
You only get insulted and flamed if you come in here with the attitude that deserves it. We occasionally get the idiot newbie that has their mind set on something that either can't be done, or shouldn't be done (HL2 to HL1 porting, for instance) and when they're told they can't, they rant and rave.
On the other end, I remember quite a few polite newcomers who have been given warm welcomes and respect because they have the right attitudes.
Sometimes it boils down to their age, too. It's the nature of most young kids to be shitheads.
In short: people who deserve it, get it. People who don't, do not.

You could always open a forum section designed for the inexperienced and the new. A place for those forums that need a little extra love and respect and newbiness would be expected.That's not a bad idea, I guess. Basically the forum equivalent of the "Where to start?" page. In the very least I there should be something easily accessible and advertised on sign-up for newbies to look at before diving into the forums.
Even worse!
NineTnine, Yodalman has been around longer than you think, this is in fact I think his.. 3rd (?) user on TWHL. The question you should be asking is why we actually keep giving him a chance. The only modding work I have seen him do is illegal, so users won't support him, and every other second he's trolling.
We're generally very accepting towards newcomers, you just don't realise some people don't deserve acceptance.

I'm sorry, but 300 and Crank both mentioned in the same thread? Those films are as awful as it gets.
This movie though, looks good.

Scales up and down perfectly in Opera. >_>
It isn't Resident Evil 3 but I'll give it to you. ;P
Passed Resident Evil 5 a short while ago, the replay value is awesome though. There's a lot left to unlock.

Yeah, you'll definately want to replace the point light with a light_spot, that way any models you insert will be more accurately lit too. As for the point_spotlight, you should first make sure the dynamic light is off as it's too resource taxing for a simple light (check the flags).
It also helps to have a small, faint light right next to the light source too, to cast a little radial light around there and avoid ugly darkness near the light source.
You want the beam to look like it matches with the coverage of the world lighting, so you should set the thickness up a bit and shorten the distance in it's properties. You'd want it to look something like this:

I have a theory. Steam runs on 90% pure win, while MSN runs on 90% pure failure. You can't have too much of one or the other or they overpower and sap your internet. Thus the solution is to run them both simultaneously so the win and fail even each other out and your internet is restored.
NineTnine: nope, just making an observation.
In all fairness I don't recall the last time you actually helped someone or provided any sort of constructive criticism in this forum, NineTnine. What do you do here other than quietly stir up shit?

If I had any cargo I would SO trust them.

Yep.
Well, that was fun but pointless. >_>

a certain rebel friendTo be fair, he actually voices several rebels throughout Episode Two.
I'm not too ture but isn't it Under the Radar?It is, but you didn't guess the actor.

If it pisses off certain people with it's triviality, then it's funny as hell.
All glory to Bangs, our benevolent tyrannical master.
To me it mostly just looks like a lack of alpha rendering on the grass and the image compression that's throwing it off. /nerd
Nah, Kangaroo's boxed them all and the Emu's ate their remains.
Only legends.
What the shit! There's gotta be something else..
I like the sound of this gun. I've always thought TF2 needed more outrageous flying deaths.
Also, looks like the new Payload map and gamemode is one in the same. No Hunted for usI wouldn't be so sure, didn't Valve say they're releasing one new payload map and a new game mode?
Expected, since it's what they've done with every other 'main' gun. Still lame though, bloody Scattergun.
OH MY GOD, what happened to Pacman.
Eww.
Looking carefully at that background map it kinda looks like a dual payload map. And that energy drink is pretty awesome.
EDIT: Luke beat me to the map thing. Darn.

Been using this for a short while now, it's great. Self-shadowed bump mapping is such a simple thing in the grander scheme of graphics, but it makes a huge difference with texturing. Really have to thank you for this program, it's the simplest one I've found for creating them, but it's also got all the right options for tweaking the crap out of them.
Program rocks.

I'm one of the few people who really doesn't mind Arena, but I don't play TF2 much at all now. I'll probably check out this update for a week or two then go back to not playing it.
Grr... Steve.
Oh no you didn't...
Haven't mapped in a while, but I'm back at it now. Entry is pretty much 99% complete.
I don't want to sound like a hypocrite here (cough volcano map, portal map, every other map cough) but I hope everyone else is still going with this! Don't give up!

UNLESS you guys are planning on having this going for another month or so.Seems like a safe bet at this stage.
I've played the Lost Planet demo on both 360 and PC and I would say go for it on 360. It's design kind of caters more towards the console, and the PC version is a crappy port anyway (sluggish mouse control etc).
Mass Effect I wouldn't know about.

True, it would require some insane effort to translate the Half-Life series into a successful movie series. There's a ton of cliche's that would have to be dropped (practically the entire first game is a cliche), you'd have to somehow give Gordon character that suits his actions etc. etc.
A lot of people simply think video-to-game movies will never be good too, but I don't buy that. Comic book movies sucked for the longest time but then BAM, Dark Knight in your face.

Yeah, it's fairly impressive what they've done with the graphics (except maybe the zombies) but the script is awfully typical.
It's nothing like how I'd like a film to play out, but I guess it's close to how it should look near the end.

Funny, Fallout 3 is in my opinion one of 2008's worser games. Literally as though they just dropped guns in Oblivion and drolled up the environments. ;>
12 new mapsYeah, "new". They're bound to be reworked versions of the old maps, we'll be lucky if 2 of them are whole new settings, I reckon.
