No way is that too long.
No way it isn't.
Anyway I don't understand why we can't do this by ourselves in the control panel
People can abuse it, and (for now atleast) we need to be able to judge which people even deserve the use of custom titles, I can easily see certain members being idiots about it.

I'm not doing anything until I've conferred it all with the other mods anyway, this is a suggestion thread.

It's a pretty inefficient way to build an arch. The technique in Atom's tutorial will save you more faces, the more detailed the arch becomes.

Probably won't solve your lighting error, but it would definately help overall.

It looks outdated now, but it's besides the point. It's becoming a much more stable and much more stylised engine with every update, and it suits Valve's design goals perfectly.

I'm sorry, but us mods and admins have lives. Full-time jobs, uni, part-time jobs, families, friends, complications, timezones. Most of my own posting occurs during breaks at work, by the time I get home the other half of TWHL's management are either just going to sleep or just waking up.

Anybody who enters these competitions for the right reasons would mind waiting 'fucking weeks'. Anybody who doesn't will rant and rave. These are the big competitions, not everday challenges. We've had users do their own little map challenges and they're welcome to keep those up. I really wish you wouldn't just pop into TWHL randomly to rant about how much we suck at our jobs, even though every second we put into TWHL is volunteered time.

Yeah, it's a deep-sea monster and the smaller ones are like it's parasites, or barnacle equivalents.

The backstory for it is pretty ridiculous, which is why it was mostly all presented in the viral gaming up until it's release. Something involving a drink named Slusho! and a deep-sea drilling company. You can also just see what is supposedly a satellite falling into the ocean in one bit of footage set prior to the attack. Who knows, it's mostly nonsense.

The shaky cam works in Cloverfield, the only thing you have to catch glimpses of is so massive it doesn't matter. Quantum of Solace's action though was indeed quite hard to keep up with.

It's a decent enough follow up to Casino Royale with some memorable moments, but it doesn't quite hold the same sense of style or grounding. Also, [i]spoilerish[/i], but why on Earth is a hotel out in the middle of a bloody hot desert powered by fuel cells in every wall. Which genius came up with that?
According to Superherohype.com, the next Superman movie, titled "Superman Reboot", is going to be an almost R rated movie with a very dark and violent story plot similar to that of The Dark Night's script. A no holds bar, kick ass and take no prisoners Superman? Yep, I am for that!
I've heard about this being described as a three part epic, the potential "Godfather" of the comic book world. Supposedly starting all the way back with Superman's birth and ending with him being the last one alive as the Sun goes supernova. Sounds kind of cool, but I'll always be very skeptical of hype.

You lot make me wonder if you actually pay attention to anything the mods say. The reason most of it appears to be ignored is because Penguinboy has said umpteenth times that he wouldn't even think about coding until the end of the year, when he actually had the time to.

That and there being a lot of petty suggestions.

It's not the light sources, gotta be a cubemap problem.

Put mat_reloadallmaterials in the console, then rebuild the cubemaps. If that doesn't work, delete all the cubemaps, replace them and recompile.

in Can Source Do it? Post #258315
Source can definately do all that. I recommend you read up on the I/O system and some of the core game-controlling entities.

Game_UI will let players control things other than himself, it could be used to control a conversation tree, though really a professionally coded one would be the desired option.

All of the logic entities serve a specific function and a can be used to set up advanced, dynamically changing events.

It's a lot to do in four weeks without prior Source experience, though.
