Whoa, i don't think i've ever seen anything visually like this in source before, very cinematic! downloading!
Nice work Instant Mix!
(BTW i've made parcan lights in goldsource and source too)
(BTW i've made parcan lights in goldsource and source too)
I wish i read that tutorial before making lights.. It explains a lot in a short space, like e.g., why my lights partially inside geometry were not working, regardless of the settings 
awesome tutorial skals, i think it's the first plain-language lighting tutorial i've ever read for newbs, TY!! =)
Archie: ya, we are doing our best for about one week of work. Also, i find textureshadows don't work at all for me unless i compile with hdr(this is normal?).

Here's some final(almost) pics of laki's and mine competition entry:
Big Imgur Album
Description
The map is meant to portray Section One, from tv's La Femme Nikita.
Editing time
About a week between us, and the deadline is in approx. 24 hours
Help!
If you-all have any tips for us, they'd be greatly appreciated! If anyone would like to playtest a demo before we submit, tomorrow, just let us know or pm!
Join?
Now I can't speak for Lajron, but i'm willing to split my portion of the prize with somebody if they feel they can contribute something good to the map by tomorrow($100, that is, if we win of course, and yes i realize this is extremely short notice ;])

Yes, i read it when you posted it the first time(=P), tho doesn't the fact that VBCT works, imply that you can?
idk, but i know the current version of vbct works good, or so i've been told. (does that mean "yes" to your quetstion?)
what is rimmy using for his side scroller?
will this be top-down or a side-scroller? (or both)
there really isn't a prison, but there are dorm rooms for recruits that are sometimes used for prisoners(prisoners don't live long in Section One) 
If you blocked for something to do you could detail the torture room, or just troll the screen caps until you find something you'd like to do =)
Question
If you haven't started Systems yet, i think i will put that area behind the training studio unless you have objections. also, what gametype should we make this? (my steam is updating i'll get on to chat in a sec)

no you! (added 1 or 2 images to the album depending on when you viewed it)
Here's a map me and Lajron are working on for the Secret Society Contest at GB:
We've done a lot but there is a lot left to do(We only started like less than a week ago). More to coming soon

Well i have to opt out of this arch i'm dreadfully sorry!
I feel bad because you started it upon my request and i bailed. I put quite a bit of time into my WIPs(believe it or not), but it's going to be sometime before my texuring efforts bear fruit i'm afraid =(
Thank you very much for hosting this! Hopefully next time if there is an rchi texturing minicompo 2, i'll be able to show you some good stuff

wow moocow you raelly know your entities!
i guess i really haven't thought about it very much yet.. Maybe i'll keep the locations static and the times random, disabling a killstreak award once it's been done, so they can all only be used once?
How would you handle these?

Thanks moocow, i'll have to try those, though won't be able to update this until after the secret society contest over at GB has ended.
Any ideas for adding a parachute(LOL)?
Last, i'd love to make the spawn completely random, so maybe the point_template can help with that, spawning the controls and point_viewcontrol for the killstreak awards?

It has to save time too in the end, because so often i will dilly around flip-flopping different textures, searching all the standard materials for the right thing(when the right thing isn't there).
Edit
About that texturing compo.... Anyhoo i will be looking forward to your demo!

Yeah i can imagine it is a lovely workflow! someday i hope i can do that, but i'm absolutely gash at making materials, so it would be really a futile effort at this time
BTW, how much time(average) do you spend making a particular material?

Lucky, that looks great!
Archie gives good advice, some of the more reconginzable hl2 textures should be avoided, unless you are using them on small trims or stuff in the backrground. (don't get me wrong, i'm very guilty of using the combine textures myself!)
You can also play with the texture scale to get a new look for an old texture in a pinch, but i would advice almost alwyas try scaling down and not up, because upscaling makes them look too blurry.
for the place you used the chronme texture, instead use any metal siding texture, and it should look/match perfect to the original afaik.
Here's a small teaser of my work so far, first compile!
We need like 5 weeks to finish this, but i guess we'll have to make it work in 5 days (4 days, 7 hours actually). We are so screwed! =P
I think i'm going to download tophattwaffle's real world texture packs 1 & 2, so i have fresh materials to try....
Archie: do you recommend and good materials packs out there available for download sir?
Murby/Uoaby: Wonderful work you two; there is a lot of talented people here on this little site, jee-whiz!

Some progress
Ok, well i have the cutscene part done, where you watch the c-130 fly overhead nad drop the pallet, but it's not perfect....
The way i'm dropping the pallet, it is parented to the plane, and then released(unparented) when the whole thing crosses a trigger brush at whatever point you want. Everything works But:
i use a prop_physics_multiplayer for the pallet it works great, but it WILL NOT go through sky boxes, and i need it to do that so the plane is out of view before it's triggered.
if i make the pallet a func_physbox_multiplayer, it WILL pass through the skybox, but after being released, the pallet just stays up in the sky at the drop point, never dropping fsr..
Any ideas would be severely appreciated!
I know this is not the most effiecint way to "drop" these items, but i there is a way to make it work like this, i'd love to find a way

1. why would anyone pay a yearly subscription for a product you can get for free, that does the same thing.
2. it's shitware that is hard to remove once you install it
3. you may be right, norton might be the best product on the market for all i know now, but i would still never use it for retaliation for past sins

i didn't mind mse, but i just feel i have more control with avast, i think i'll try stojkes recommendation for kaspersky thou eventually.
i thought you said you use norton, SORRY that i can't do reading good; you are no longer an idiot. what do you use btw?
actually yes, using norton antivirus definitely makes you an idiot, and i'm afraid i'll need to deduct 15 urby respect points, PLUS, dock you 5 ironical points for mocking someone for not using any Norton Product =}
Avast was actually rated superior to MSE for detection and false positives the last time i checked, so it's good enough for my stuff. (i also backup/image my entire setup monthly, so if i got a comp killer i wouldn't be shit-outta-luck)
P.S., yer mum is a harsh reflection, hah BAM!(inb4 ZING)

I was recently contacted by a group who wants to put My nuketown map on their server, BUT there is a problem.
There are 4 killstreak awards on the map, but they are open to whoever activates them first(they are not actually awarded by killstreaks because i have no idea how to do that, so they all wide open).
The problem becomes if all 4 awards are activated at the same time, it brings the game to a standstill, so what i'm looking for is ideas on how to limit their use.
Should i have them "unlock" randomly or what? Should i make it that the first one touched will activate, but will lock out the other three for like 45 seconds or something?
Any ideas would be extremely appreciated, especially from active COD players.
Edit
I love how posting a question on a forum immediately activates your brain to solve the problem. I think doing random parachute drops will work, but i'm still open to any/all input

dude, there has to be like 3 million trojans on your computer, seriously. Even if you are not downloading nintendo roms or copius amounts of porn, you are still wide open to attack from basically any website.

I couldn't agree more with your comments Soup.
Why the writers feel they have the make the plots so fucking crazy/grandiose/rediculous i will never understand.
It's a pretty simple reason everyone likes batman in my mind, and that is because he stands up for the weak and fights crime, in a selfless campaign to protect the people. WHY then, does the city always have to be under threat to be blown up or some other crazy thing? Just make it a normal, fucking semi-plausiable storyline FOR ONCE...
Don't get me wrong, it's not that the writing is bad, it is very good actually, it's jsut the story is fucking dumb, period.
For the aformentioned reasons, i stop paying attention to the plot almost halfway through the movie, and just waited to savor the cool action sequences and awesome batman gadgetry, which is spot on. (And... any chance to see Anne Hathaway in a skin-tight, patent-leather suit, kicking people in the face is also very enjoyable)
