Went to home depot today, and spent a little time with off-the-shelf gas pipe fittings to build my pipe saber:
It is surprisingly well balanced, and doesn't feel too heavy despite it's looks. I was kinda aiming for a civil war saber, in pipe, tho this definitely needs some refined styling and some brass/wood added to match your theme.
I wanted to build some variants like a club or hammer, but i was starting to get some funny looks using the gas fittings like legos(LOL), so i got out of there. All told, about $50 for all the fittings.
The pipe saber also doubles as a nicely balanced walking stick/sheleighly:
Now, to model it, and play with some variations =)
Edit
Whoa those look great don punch =)

It's his site, he can do what he wants, and he certainly doesn't give a single fuck what you think. Right or wrong, who the hell are you to tell him how to run his affairs?
Maybe someday when you create and run a site as big/popular as PP you can offer him advice that carries weight, but until then...

Indeed that is lovely instant mix
idk, i don't feel items effect the game one way or the other; the more skilled team is going to win imo, e.g. i still like the original rocket launcher better than any of the "upgraded" ones.
All the items seem pretty balanced to me i.e., if it's stronger in one regard, it's also weaker in another.
are we talking about the same thing when you say "items" my friend? =P

why? when does it get old pwning people on the opposite team's staircase in harvest over and over again?
The answer is, "Never" my friend

I just started playing tf2 after a long hiatus(mostly because i didn't have the free HDD space), and i must say i'm really enjoying it.
My fav gametype is koth, simple and fun, and i rarely play payload or other gametypes.
My favourite class is the Engineer, but after getting pwned by the spy a few times i usually switch to pyro and and nooburner, or scout and run around mostly hitting people with my level 42 fish =)
I also like the spy, but i have to be in the mood for it, and playing medic is always a fun/nice way to change things up.
I'll play demoman just to use the big claymore sword for fun, but i don't really care for his other weapons.
I like the other classes but i'm horrible at them, so i'll just play them occasionally, or if a certain situation warrants a certain class.
So, how do you TF2?

I haven't modeled anything yet, but here is some quick WIP i sketched in ps a couple days ago, all based on common gas pipe:
I realize they need more styling/flare to match the eloquence of your current weapons, these are only the bare base ideas

@grim: nope, I just get that "HL2.exe has encountered an error, and needs to shut down" thingie.
I never had this happen until the past couple weeks, so when i'm loading a map now i'm very careful not to touch the keyboard while the map is reloading.. just kinda a weird thing...
collapse: NO YOU

I'm not being negative towards twhl. what's fair is fair, source questions dont' get answered here very often, it's not negativity it's a fact.
I have no negative feelings towards twhl, just unhelpful responses. I'm sorry that i don't agree with you.

seriously archie, shall i list everyone here who has multipe accounts? I seem to recall you having a "shadow" account in the past? i mean, Really?

i was waiting for someone to notice, you caught me. Everyone else has multiple accounts i thought i would join the club
you know what, i won't even bother asking source-based quesitons on here anymore, since they are rarely answered. Besides on Steam Forums you get immediate replies with no snide/irrelevant comments. (i think users are more polite there becasue it's valve, could be?)
Anyhoo, Thanks

The reason why i'm asking this is to see if it's a known issue and not just a problem with my setup, why is this such a difficult concept to understand?
I've mapped source for the last 2 years and never noticed the problem before. i'm guessing it has something to do with and update, or maybe the sourceMP engine(which HAS caused other problems). Seriously wtf..

I asked if this is happening to anyone; this seems like a pretty simple/straightforward question to me.
By "impatiently clicking" btw, i meant like 2-3 times to skip past the team and skin selection screens

Gah, i can understand not wanting the to manage the site anymore but why take the whole thing down? All that work and he's just gonna flush it like that, something must have happened.. ='(
Hopefully PP will be back up soon after the father has had a rest

ninja that's lovely; are you working on the core too?
in source I would've done this with a 3D skyboxWell, you can:
[quote]Creating a 2D skybox for Goldsource, using Source
It is possible to create an area of your map into a 2D Skybox to be used in Goldsource (the HL1-engine). Here's an simple example:
1. Create a large outdoor area with some displacement maps and treelines, and fog to hide the edges. Lets call it carrotjuice .
2. Load the map ingame and turn cheats on ( sv_cheats 1 ).
3. Activate the noclip-mode by simply opening the console and enter "noclip" and hit Enter.
4. Fly to the center of where you want the skybox.
5. Open up the console and type "mat_envmaptgasize 256", hit Enter.
Now type "envmap" and press Enter. Now, 6 TGA-files are now created and saved into a folder named "cubemap_screenshots" in your modfolder ( i.e. for HL2DM: SteamSteamAppsyouraccountHalf-Life 2 Deathmatchhl2mp ).

(I can upload psds also)
Any tips would be very appreciated!
This is the first time i've really sat down and tried to use ps to make textures, and tho i think i will be able to get good at it, i also feel it's going to take me a long time...
Thanks again to archie for forcing me to get my feet wet it texture making

Well i know one thing, is you european guise have been WAY ahead of us in phone technology for a long time, e.g., i don't even think there is 4g coverage in my area yet
what kinds of prices are you-all paying?

Anybody uses this mobile phone provider?
$45 unlimited everything sounds too good to be true, so i'm wondering what the catch is... I'm really tempted to change over cuz that is amazinly cheap
(i'm already out of contract with verizon, and i was told i can <maybe> use my existing phone with the service, so this is so tempting..)

Can you smell what the JeffMOD is cooking?!
Questions
- where can we view the current weapons for the game?
- can we submit more than one weapon?
Nice monkey is nice 
Jeez Archie i thought those were displacements! Hands down, that is got the be the best GoldSrc terrian in history
I've just been basically fucking about with lighting tests. Hopefully some real textures tomorrow...
The more i look at this the more I like it; just really bloody beautiful urby
I'd fuck that.
Not much to show for me since i've mostly been doing lighting tests(and making hoorible-looking textures). Right now I'm having a problem with a particular texture showing up pink-and-black checkerboard no matter what i do:

My "from scratch" textures are turning out pretty bad so far; this is gonna take longer than i thought.
Thanks Archie for hosting this, it's just what i needed to kick my but into texturing

Nice Archie that answers many questions for me =)
Also about my previous one, i meant "view source" in the material browser, i thought you could view(and possibly edit) the vmt on-the-fly

Question
When you click on a material and click the "View Source" button, is it supposed to show you the vmt? (does nothing when i click)

yes, but in source the default texture scale is .25. so it goes a lot further, i.e., try scaling all your textures to to .25 in a goldsource mp aand see what happens(20 years later when your compile finishes)
Also 512 isn't the limit, you can go way bigger.

Sure, but I don't see why you'd botherWell tho the base map is RAELLY well built, it's also very bare. It's only natrual you'd want to add some models to help pull off your intended theme, e.g., a little desk in the little office room. (yes i know models will not effect the judging)
zeratus: thanks man!(and thanks to Rimrook of course) Downloading! =)
question
Concerning resolution/dpi, what should we be using for source, and why when i try to shrink any of my textures(even a little) they look just horrid? (and is this even related to dpi?)
strideh, are you talking about using textures like gel sheets, or plx explain what you mean by the "additve layer" thingie :plx sir some more:
P
I have to be honest i only plan on spending a couple days on this, but who knows, maybe i'll haz bumpmapping or some other crazy quazy stuff? God, this is such a breath of fresh air to focus on something besides brushwork for a change =)))
ya jeff, improving your skills is the whole point of this imo, i.e., something to get you practicing
Arch you should maybs advertize this on the banana too?
