HYPE!
The map rules mean I'm not able to submit one of mine, but I'm still up for playing.

I mean... evenings are a safer bet. I was asleep at 5AM... :rly:
I'm still plugging away from time to time. I've realised that the gameplay isn't very engaging / interesting however, so I've got some major tweaking to do...
Re-invent a HLDM classic, anyone?*Squirt
...ahem. What I mean is "I'd be up for that."
Yeah, I've got Witcher 3. It's alright.
I prefer customisation though. I don't really connect with Geralt at all.

I decided to go in and have a look at what the "special edition" of Skyrim offers. (I didn't buy it but I have it for some reason.)If you own the original with all DLC you get the special edition for free. I got it as well, and I'm using it as an excuse to replay it. I love Skyrim.
The screenshot you are using for the comparison is a bad example. It shows the increased draw distance and improved filtering, but the enhancements are the least obvious during a clear day.
Dawn, dusk, snow storms, rain and fog are all massively improved. There is also a lot of subtle changes such as improved water shaders, a lot more detail on the ground (plantlife and stones and stuff), and performance is generally a lot smoother. The original game frequently drops to 30FPS or less for me, but the special edition has been a solid 60FPS for me in my first 5 hours.
I'm not saying it doesn't have problems. It's about as stable as it ever was (Drunk, obese pensioner on a unicycle). Hell, there are bugs present that were ironed out in the original within the first year.
You haven't seen me play, clearly. It's anything but an honour to have me on your team.
Sank a couple of hours into Overwatch again last night. It's a shame not having anyone to play it with... (Other SnC guys have decided they don't like it)
Got a couple of unlocks with the current Halloween theme.
Junkenstein's Monster (never play the hero though)
This skin for Ana who has now become my third most played. Awesome
I love Blizzard for their seasonal cosmetics. I wonder what Christmas will deliver.

Also the dying sitting scientist and tentacle grab animations from Blast Pit.
It's in Office Complex. I never knew that sequence included the line... What an odd decision. Maybe they were having trouble getting the scientist to say his line using regular triggers.
I feel a need to sign up... but I have so much I should already be working on and I'll be honest. My creativity is absolutely shot...
Like, I'm really struggling to work on anything at the moment.

Battlefield 1! Yes! Another Battlefield game. In my opinion the best one in a long time. There's something very satisfying about it.
I'll post some screenies down the line.
I'm also playing through Dying Light. I've owned it for a while but only recently started blast through it in Co-op with Archie and Mish (Scotch and Coffee has adopted another one...)
Probably gonna be a video of this one day in the future.
Last but not least, I grabbed Final Fantasy 7 on Steam. It's quite nice to experience it again in 1080p at 60FPS (the 3d elements at least)

They were included with the original Worldcraft 2.1 installation and were present up to and including Hammer 3.0. I guess they forgot to package the files with later versions, or simply thought that nobody was using prefabs at that point. It is good practice to make your own these days.
As for adding custom prefabs, you can make your own as I said. I'm not sure if people are still releasing packs but back in the early 2000's you'd get them on demo disks and all sorts. Sadly there's not much call for it these days as far as I know.

Ah, OK. Those are prefabs. The original prefabs don't come with later versions of Hammer, but you can get them here. DOWNLOAD
Stick the "prefabs" folder in your "Hammer" directory and they should then appear in the editor.

Is In The Beginning a mod? Do you have a link?
There will be a models folder within the mod directory which will contain all the models they use.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you talking about prefabs? You can make your own.
That is far more appealing in terms of visuals.
As for this DUSK thing? I'm not sold on it. It looks lacking by 90s shooter standards, which is impressive... but in a bad way.

It's not one I've heard of and all I can find are dead links. It seems to have been lost in the ether.

The various badges are unofficial awards from competitions and projects not run by TWHL staff.
Not sure what the MCPOKER badge is for. Crap Taste In Mods award perhaps?

Oh? I haven't looked into Starbound for a while. It looked like Terraria which I played for about an hour... Didn't know it included space battles, factions and customisable ships.Quote:Starbound is pretty much what No Man's Sky promised.
Maybe one day we will get a game that can deliver the experience that they hyped.
Had they not lied about pretty much all of the awesome stuff they mentioned, I would have certainly given it a look. As it stands, it looks like a generic survival/crafting game with early 2000 graphics.
A shame really. Maybe one day we will get a game that can deliver the experience that they hyped.

Battlefield 1 Open Beta tonight. Let's see if EA have made a bollocks up of this series as well. Yaaay!
In other news, Nuka World seems fun so far. Only played an hours worth of it yesterday. I mean... I played three hours of fallout but I kept getting bloody sidetracked on the way to the station. God dammit Bethesda!

I loved me some Sims 2 back in the day. Having loving the original, the leap from isometric faux 3D into full blown actual 3D was awesome. It was nice to have a little more customisation when actually making your sim as well, rather than the handful of prefab heads / bodies.
But yeah, downhill after that. Sims 3 had awesome customisation but bare minimum content (before all the paid expansion packs of course!) and Sims 4 managed to have even less content while backtracking with the gameplay aspects.

OMG Spoilerz in shot #1!
Now I know there will be at least one mission and it will be a success!

I should also get to work on my entry. Maybe a stream from Urby will motivate me ^^
Urby, the motivation of all the entrants of this project depends on you....Shite. My daughter wouldn't settle last night. Likely because I was planning to stream. I should have kept quiet until she was actually asleep...
I should get to work on my entry... I might try and stream tonight. If I cannot, I'll put in the time regardless.
Is it?
Thanks! If you don't like my fixed version for HL-Steam. Than I will leave forumHow very mature of you... :rly:
I don't need fog in my entry, so I have no need for 1.9
Anyone else playing Overwatch? Archie and Scoots really suck at it and I wanna play!
The reference.smd that the .qc file is looking for will be the mesh for the model. When you say you 'made' the reference.smd, do you mean you renamed one of the existing .smd files? If you made a blank file and called it reference.smd, that's not going to work. 
Wooo. ChickenFist
Good to hear. A can already see that this is a significant improvement and I've replaced JHLMV. For one thing it's nice to see the animations at more than 10 FPS again. 
Will you be adding support for the PS2 .dol format like Jed's HLMV? It's a handy feature
I've been playing DOOM4 a hell of a lot this week after grabbing it for half price.
It's a Hell of a lot of fun. Pun most certainly intended.

@Urby: I wasn't aware you were building some sort of Alien Colonial Marines mod in secrecy.. Well what ever it is.. It looks intriguing to say the least.Heh... wait. Neither was I... wat?
It also has the potential of looking off in game in terms of lighting, especially in Steam HL and when using the flashlight.
Milkshape3D de/recompiling works in win10 as well.
The levels can be based anywhere you like. Mine is set on an unnamed ice world. (One of my old projects that I threw out)
Still working at this from time to time. Will definitely be done by September 5th.
My map focuses on the retrieval of a large pink crystal.

We definitely need more competitions / group projects. We need to getting this mapping community... mapping.

@Urby: I'm curious to see it if you happen to know what that map is.Sadly, the name is long last in my mind. We're talking back in the late 90s.
I know that it was set in a hospital type building, although it didn't have much detail. In the single player version, you'd spawn next to an idling Apache, and you'd be directed by shutters in the corridors. Pretty clever.
In my long looong history of playing Half-Life, I've only ever seen one map that could be played as both a deathmatch arena and a single player level.
I got one!
How about an additional attribute when submitting a map. "Singleplayer/Multiplayer"
Hmmm?

I do believe that the second thread you linked became a Minecraft map as well. I remember sailing out and claiming Urbania once I had my bearings.
Double post removed. Urbeh got yo' back
Congratulmuhlations! I'll be honest, I never got around to playing the mod... keeping an eye out for the release though.

Not really thread material. Consider using a journal post.
If there is nothing in the entities list, it sounds like you haven't set up the FGD file. If you have, then it's incomplete or contains errors.
