I just started sketching something, looked for a glass texture and was about to say that you forgot adding it. The thumbnail didn't look at all as a glass texture, but then I noticed the name :D.

1. I think if he said the map can be singleplayer or multiplayer he refers to basically every source mod.

2.
Tool textures are fine, as they're obviously necessary

All your pictures really lack contrast and seem to have very little thought put into them.
I wouldn't say that. Not all photos have to be high-contrast. I love his third photo- that's sexy.

It's nice but a bit odd because I didn't expect wet rust to leak upwards. There's a thing called gravity :).

I think Dragos is awesome in his own way. If you all start assaulting him he won't rectify his bragging problems and will probably just be pissed off at the community.

I just... care for this community. I don't want us to loose old, established members.

Also, if Crollo is annoying by his kilometric posts, Skals is situated at the other end:

Hypothesis: Two similar scenes. The difference: one scene has 100 polys, and the other one 12800 polys(almost 100 more polys... 12800 because it's easier for me to take this into consideration).

Let's assume a factor of coolness(FOC). This factor of coolness increases by 1 every time the number of polys double and essentially represents the"looks better by # amount". Now let's assume 100 polys has a default coolness of 1 ( very low). That means the 12800 polys room has a FOC of 7.

From your statement:
What I mean, is that you can create a map which will look 100 times better than a map with 100 times more polys. It's all about efficiency.
I understand that the 100 polys map can have a FOC of 100, greatly surpassing the 7 of the 12800 polys(about 100 more polys). Holy shit, that means I can actually create a map with 100 polys that looks like one with 100*(2^100) polys?

TEACH ME NOWA!

My math scales the numbers badly, but you get the idea.

platoon: I'm showing texture work, not architecture. Maybe you're confusing this with Source's displacements?
Wait, I think I misinterpreted the whole thread. I thought the thread was a joke.
I've tried that kind of architecture on Source. The compiler crashed.
Then you suck. This is nothing. I made and compiled mathematically correct spheres and domes with hundreds of polygons without a single lighting bug.
Allow me to retort: I joked. I'm sorry for confusing you.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere about a voxel engine that uses a search-like algorithm. I don't know if this engine demo was the case, but it compared the algorithm to what a search engine like google uses: it doesn't store millions upon millions of website read to be accessed, rather, it "searches" for what you want to view at the moment.
In theory, that means that world of trillions of particles can exist in a simulated virtual world. In practice, the world will be dynamically rendered.

It's much like in quantum theory probably: you observe it, it exists. You don't, it doesn't( might be wrong about this, I know quantum theory refers to changing state of a quantum scale object if observed but meh, you understand me).

Let's wait for quantum computers though.

512x512 texture packs seem rather pointless to me. I switched once from a 128x128 to a 256x256 and the difference is barely visible. You are limited by the cube size. All you're doing is to slow down the game even further.

I kind of agree with brendanmint. I'm not against Crollo's long posts, it's a shame fewer and fewer people are able to express themselves properly, but seriously you should learn something from Twitter.
