Most decent wallpapers offer a max size of 1600x1200 for 4:3 and 1680x1050 for 16:10 widescreen, I think. If they're covered most people should be happy I'd say.

Edit: For widescreen 1920x1200 might be the safer option.

Utterly off topic, but Sweeney Todd was indeed awesome. I'm not normally one for morbid humour, but it was great. Would've been better without the undeniably gay sailor pretending to be in love with Joanna.

Quality is fine, really. It suits the purpose. I'd like to see more of these (sticking with the basics to begin with), if we had enough I think they'd easily deserve a seperate section on TWHL.

in lets make a tw-hl HL1 mod!!! Post #250614
There are so many reasons why this didn't work out it's not funny. If someone wants to take the effort to propose a mod like this PROPERLY, enough people show interest and deem it worthy, then i'll personally give you a news post and a sticky. But the sad fact is, it probably won't happen.

Something like this needs strong leadership from more than one person, and from people we can all accept. It needs a much better proposal then "let's make maps and smash 'em together", and it needs people with enough free time to put in to it.

And there lies the problem, this is a mapping site where people are busy mapping - often more then one project, too. So if the majority of people don't show interest, or flat out disagree with the proposal, you should think about that.

Now this thread has lived way past it's prime, considering who made it.

in No Draw Brush Post #250553
Yeah, the skybox does seal leaks. But it should only be used for the roof and upper walls of your map. If you use it under your map, or just box the map in with skybox, it's going to cause a lot of optimisation problems and lengthen your compile times.

Seeing Gman play a DS would be the most hilarious but also most disappointing thing to ever happen in Episode 3.

In truth I think he carries nothing in it, it's a bit of a ruse to make him seem more human in Gordon's eyes.

in Where are all the MOTMs? Post #249981
It's plenty of things, and it's not just the MotM reviews that are suffering. TWHL3's release has played havoc with everything and everyone important to the process is either away or busy lately with work/school/uni.

EVERYTHING on this site is volunteered so it's no surprise there's a lot of things that still need sorting out, people just need to be very patient with it.

Hopefully once we finalise our new staff members and reinstate the moderators we should start seeing some good progress.

Yah, read about this about 4 days or so, the news has been slowly spreading.

Gore Verbinski is a fan of the game himself, and he knows how to make an epic adventure movie (despite what Pirates nay-sayers think) so i'm hoping he does it right.

Also hoping it isn't as repetetive as the last few hours of the game. ;)
