I'm going to delete some of the offensive pics, then leave this thread going. I don't mind funny pictures, just nothing so obviously /b/ related, please?

You are correct sir!

That's my least favourite. 
Edit: no wait, that would be Portal mapping, TF2 is second least favourite!

Awesome work. Architecture tests are my second favourite type of mapping work, try to guess my first!
Oh, I think we can let this mildly late entry in. What do you say, judges?
No you won't. :/

I just love rediscovering old games, or even discovering them for the first time. Age does not do much to deter me. I played No One Lives Forever the whole way through for the first time this year. Awesome game. No One Lives Forever 2 and Contract Jack still to come. ;D
And which hypocrites? There's nothing I've said to make you think that.Pretty much every 'discussion' we've had in the last couple of months has made me think that, but I won't go into it here.
But I just don't want a program checking my HDD all the time, and deleting stuff without my permision.Any half-decent one would give you full control over all that, but ok, moving on.
I'm not going to change your opinion, I get that, it's not even my place to try. But, sometimes it's nice when people actually think about what they're reading rather than taking the high and mighty route.
Strider, you definately don't have any sense of humor.Not at all, I just don't like hypocrites.
If virus protection is slowing your computer down, it is probably because either A) it's memory-hungry crap, or B) your computer is something awful. Like I said, it's just an extra layer of protection. No, it may not defend against the newer, nastier viruses, but typically that's what definition updates and a bit of common sense are for, no? They're small methods of defence against all the typical viruses that can accidentally be picked up from anywhere.
Fair enough that some people might not ever get the viruses, but anything can happen. What just happened to your whole "I have never been attacked by one of them." motto, eh?
So yeah, my point is simply that if you find a good program, it will do no harm to have it there just in case.
So no, I'm not arrogant for having antivirus.I never said that, read it again.
Interesting. Can you please elaborate further on this reasoning?I said what had to be said. They're bloated, pricey, and too Windows-friendly. They take too many liberties with your system, and are generally no better at finding crap than the free alternatives I've used.
I have a mate who was suckered into buying Norton 360 with his laptop, he's not very PC-savy and he ended up with 55gb of automatically backed up files clogging his computer, and a number of viruses he couldn't pick up.
I gave him all my favourite tools, did a full clean and his PC has been a hell of a lot cleaner and faster since. There are two pay-to-use products I do use (though I never said I paid), but they're in no way related to firewall or virus protection.
Spike, I've cleared out numerous viruses by going into the registry, disabling and removing services, fake control panel modules.. all sorts of nonsense that doesn't involve using a virus protection program. Doesn't make me a pro, makes me good at googling virus names and following instructions.
Using no virus protection, however, is just plain arrogant. It's simply an extra layer of defense against the problem, and a lot of the free software is better than the bloated, pricey, Windows-recommended ones. Biggest mistake here though, was using emule.

I never use antivirus
I've just been attacked by one of those motherfuckers
I downloaded ... from emule
I'm a proYou have got to be joking.
prop_static is what you should use for all solid, non-animated, non-moving props in your level. So those pipes you're using in the roof should be prop_static.
Some models will not work as a prop_static though, because they're designed as physics objects, or dynamic objects, in which case you should (obviously) use prop_physics or prop_dynamic. You can disable damage and movement of these prop types in the flags and prop settings.

Makes me feel sorry for you, all those classics you can't enjoy. :<
I'm starting to think I'm the opposite of you now, I don't enjoy as many new games as I think I should, but I love all the oldies.

Fail.
But the old ones are better than the sequel! Try 'em again man, if you can get past that "old game" feel, they are shitloads of fun.
More ridiculous weapons, much more ridiculous enemy count. ;D

They've said they practically think of them as Half-Life 3, because it's the very next story arc.
We won't be seeing the actual Half-Life 3 for like a decade, knowing Valve.

the box office, where it really countsOnly to crappy producers, right? It's how good the film actually is (or isn't) that really matters. A film can gross millions, but still be the largest pile of crap ever produced.
There's a hint of a sequel after the credits, but it doesn't line up with the video game sequel at all, the story of the first game didn't actually come to it's full conclusion.
Have you seen the Max Payne movie yet?Yep, but I wouldn't compare it with the games. Even the developers have criticised the movie.
Fairly impressive tech there, but it seems like a bit of a gimmick to me.
Might just be that I love accuracy and close-up fine tuning of everything I build.

I'm not.. or at least I'm hoping not. Max Payne 1 and 2 rock my socks, so I have some faith in Remedy.
Pity it's Xbox 360 and "Vista Only".
EDIT: Alan Wake, that is.

Could use some nice foreground lighting, and a few more smaller lights near the back (up high) to give it some depth, but I like it. Brush and texture work is quite tidy.
In reality monsters aren't scattered randomly aroundWhere are monsters found in reality?
RE5 looks really good but the concept sounds a bit over-the-top... I mean, mutant slim spitting canines with folded back jaws of razor sets of chompers ready for your leg??You're new to the RE universe, aren't you?
In previous games you come across a mutated snake the size of a bus, an equally big centipede, a shark the size of a whale, a scorpion the size of a car, giant spiders, giant frogs, giant everything. Call it over-the-top, but it's why RE rocks.
All horror games/movies are cheap scares. Horror is lame.A lot of horror games are fun, some for the scares, most for the cheese factor. 99% of horror movies blow chunks, though, especially when they're based on video games.
See: Resident Evil trilogy, Silent Hill movie.
Heh, I'd be interested to see how well my new parts do when they arrive.
Are you trying to save it into the .pak file? If you are, you shouldn't be. Save it in the same location as in the pak, but in the Half-Life directory instead.
crazyb2000: There is absolutely NO need to double post when we have this fully functional edit button going on. Cutting down on double posting is for the sake of the community - to inspire proper posting and behaviour standards. It's that simple.
We won't strike or threaten anybody who double posts, unless it is obviously spam, but it just boils down to having common sense and courtesy.

Sure does.
That's a warning to let you know your models or entities are too cramped, or stuck in geometry. You can't remake that effect in vanilla HL without coding.. or I guess, sticking something in geometry, but you could probably do something similiar with Spirit.

Hey Strider, why don't you try to invite this "Prepared" guy to join TWHL, maybe he could hook us up with some spare laptops for free.He'd probably set up 36 accounts and surf TWHL on 36 seperate browsers.
I think everyone should print those pics out and put them up on their wall as a constant reminder that if your desk ever ends up looking like that, it's time to shoot yourself.
I'm not going to judge someone for playing a little WoW, but 36 accounts?! 36 accounts/copies/whatever of any game is just ridiculous.

You won't see Episode Three for at least a year.
Left 4 Dead, Mirror's Edge, Resident Evil 5.
Basically all I care about for the next half-year.

Not release anything, for now, and release the feature along with a larger toolset which will make all 5 methods useless anyway.That. Definately do that.
Please don't forget about this thread, StriderOops, shit. I totally did, sorry.
Anyway, I did get around to evening up the normal map, and here it is. Just rename it and replace the normal map you're using currently.
It should light a lot more evenly. If you're still getting the problem after this, then I'm afraid I'm completely out of ideas. I really don't see any other reason why it would be occuring, sorry.
Paypal is the shit. Paying for things online could hardly be easier or more reliable.
Ta :>
Quite like the 1st one. Thought it's a tile wall for a second.Thanks.
nice use of depth of field in the second one, though it looks a bit sudden. Shoop'd?+1 macro lense and a slight bit of shooping, yeah. The background was already blurred, but a little jarring, so I tried to even it out. It is pretty sudden, I might fix that up.
EDIT:
How's this look?
Couple of rain shots.
Urbanebula: :>
Probably because it makes everything tastier.
Pepper: I do, but I started this before that map! ;>
Haven't worked on either in a while, though. The map is actually quite old now.

Not for some time, no. >_>
But you still don't know what type of map it is.
