*Waiting for jeffmod to submit some texturing tutorials for all us nub source mappers AND/OR host some texture-making minicompos
these little blob people are cute =)
I'm sorry rim! ='(
notice i switched to the grey and orange def textures after the first couple test compiles. I'll stop using it i promise

Heres's a pointless wip for a low-poly, security camera prefab, built using the lathe method:
*the pretty domes on the cameras are func_reflective_glass.
It only took 5 minutes to build and scale the brushwork, but a bit longer attempting to texture it right(crap lol always forget smoothing groups)

dim: try the error checker at interlopers, or start a thread and pastebin your compile log.

I'm not trying to cockblock our upcoming compo, just want people to be aware of this one, hell, you could enter both if you wanted
Neat thing about GB contests is they allow teams, and you can map for ANY GAME afaik, though most people map for the Source engine.

Nice work so far Dimbark, it reminds me of a camping site or town park setting.
I think dimbark may be my new favourite mapper if he continues on this upward trajectory, i really like your style
Good advice from rimrook i'll try to take it myself =)

ants will find even the smallest trace of food, so try to keep everything in your dwelling as clean as you can. But if you already have them they can be tough to get rid of.
I found a remedy online for mixing laundry detergent and something sweet, like maple syrup or even corn syrup. (i think i tried 1/4 unsented powdered soap and 3/4 whatever sweet base you can find)
Also, you can mix regular/dry powdered or granulated sugar with the detergent, which they will carry back to the nest and kill the young.
I have read that artificial sweeters by themselves are deadly to ants and will kill the whole nest, but i've never tried it..
good luck with these persistent little buggers, you may need it!

that's a great description Archie!
Maybe it would be helpful to combine that as a "legend" in the map comments somehow, so when people are rating we are all on a level understanding of the star ratings

skals, i kno you are not preaching competitive ethics, when for the texture compo you recycled an old map as your entry... If i was a judge i would have disqualified you immediately for that, lol
2 months is like an eternity anyway, and nobody should need that much time for one of these compos. the only reason people like me are always late is cuz qe put off mapping till the last minute.

You gonna try to stay in the same field or reinvent yourself on a new career path? (you didn't seem very happy at that job)
On the screens, am i correct you and archie made all the alpha maps for the core, and now you are going through and black-mesa-sourcing them to perfection?

Glad you are mapping source now stojkens can't wait to you see your work
Joebama: heh looks pretty neat so far homie!

Noes! thats is mine's csgo.
seriously tho i'm happy for ya(die) and i'm finally over not having a beta key, so i can wait a little while longer(WTF is my beta key i filled out 5 surveys), and squeeze in some final cs:s mapping anyhow...

Remember, he's not memorizing, and since pi doesn't repeat normal people have to come up with a system to memorize the numbers, when it just comes naturally to him.
It was facinating to watch how he "sees" numbers, e.g., some numbers have movement, others are different colors and shapes, and some appear as bright light, and further their combinations are unique, up to 10,000 or so.
edit
just read the average/normal chinese person knows 6000-8000 distinct characters, so maybe you're right that is pretty comparable. (out of 80k characters total holy bejesus!)

i think the fy compo would be neat(i really do), but i feel it should wait since we just had a cs compo.
I love the more restrictive compos like 30 brushes or map-from-texture-pack, because they force you to be creative and experiment.

Personally, i feel this is a bad idea for a mapping competion.
Floating islands are the biggest mapping cliche since i don't know what. Well, maybe "cliche" isn't the right word, but this is my first impression.
Anyhoo, if you guys decide to got with this i hope i'm wrong and it is a wild success

multisource can be a pain, and i recommend using trigger_changetargets in place of them where you can, yet i can't think of a way to use them here, so try trigger_relay.
Setup
For your trigger_hurt brush-based entity, use these settings:
name: hurt
damage type: set a damage type, tho i dunno if this is needed
*Also, have the "start off" flag checked on.
Then, you have 2 trigger relays: one called hurt_relay_on and one called hurt_relay_off. have them both target the "hurt" trigger_hurt entity, with obviously the "on" relay's state set to on, and the "off" relay set to off.
Finally, create a multimanager("multithreaded" flag turned on), give it a name, and have your button target it. use settings:
0.01 - hurt_relay_on
4.99 - hurt_relay_off
and if all goes well hitting the button should cause the trigger_hurt to activate for 5 seconds and then shut off. I would also set the button reset time to 5 seconds.

no not kidding. I don't care for either of them. they play the same role in every movie they are in, and neither are any good at acting. well, maybe pacino is a little better but not much.
Ya and for the record, robert deniro and al pacino are horrible fucking actors. (bruce lee is sweet tho)
The Cstriker has led a sheltered life, and thus does not use the ganja as one of his holy sacraments
ya lol it was a big letdown for me to watch all the loch ness monster deubunking on youtube, and now there is so much evidence that it never existed, it's just really sad. (i mean, giant plesiosaurs existed, just not in the lock in or in our lifespan)
bigfoot on the otherhand is able to evade capture because he's psychic and highly intelligent. (not to be confused with the yeti, which is a whole other thing)

Why not watch from a distance, with no risk of being caughtyeah, i bet they would have a predator-type, 3d telescope, or something they can use at a distatnce, but be capable of fully observing us up close. (bigfoot is totally real btw)
Bruce: idk, beyond to satisfy our natural instict to explore, we could perform a manned exploration of all planets and phenomenon in our solar system, and thus gain more insight into the origins of earth, for starters
Indeed blitz, and imagine the cool technical innovations that might have been, had we never slowed down and scaled back the space program after the lunar missions.
shop around is all i can say. You shop around enough you'll know which one is the best.
Only thing is who knows the deals that will come up in the next 2 months, which you always have to deal with when buying a new anything electronic nowadays.
When i'm ready to upgrade i'm going to newegg or tigerdirect most-likely.

looks great!
nicely styled and specs are great, what was your price? Love the chiclet keyboard too, i can't wait to upgrade soon myself

my laptop is 4+ years old and it plays everything on low-medium settings, and even high settings of some games, yet then my temps go way up.
So given that, i'm just guessing a "decent" i7 laptop machine with a decent video card will play almost anything for a couple years to come, on good-to-awesome settings.
Make sure you keep your fans clean buy airdustering the exhaust/intakes, (while your computer is running) every month or so, and you shouldn't have any temp problems on most games. (you can buy a cooling pad if you really needed one)
my friend mark just bought a beast laptop a few months ago off tiger direct and caught a deal, payin only like $799-$899, top specs on pretty much everhthing at the time. He plays bf3/d3/SWTOR all on high settings, with no performance or heating issues afaik.

Plan for the U.S.A.
1. make all drugs legal
2. from the tax revenue, build a giant collider
3. more of the important questions about our universe are answered
3a. profit
4. use the leftover change to build a proper space station with gravity, and a colossal ship to explore the solar system.
4a. profit once again
5. first porn movies are shot in space

sue him for infringements dimbark; you won't

Tet I really like that idea! (though you're gonna have to script some really neat things for the player to do if he ain't got no gun!)

USA's sexual education has been poisoned by christian standards.QFT.
Thankfully tho, more and more people are coming to realize that science > religion, thank god.
Also btw, i think dimbark forgot some other standard methods of birth contorl:
1. don't do it
2. wrap it up
2a. full body condom
3. pull it out
4. CENSORED
5. practice gay
wait, you're saying it's >14 hours for rad?
penquinboy, you are NOT the winner
For just this tram loading/reception area? hmmmmm, i say:
VIS: 24 minutes, 03 seconds
RAD: 13 minutes, 39 seconds
(this is enormously fun guessing we should do this more often)

That looks positively bangin' Taylor, especially for 1.6!
Loving the texture applicaton so far, that makes me forget it's goldsource engine. Also that hazy/smokey lighting you achieved in the second pic is VERY nice, great work!
Now, i patiently await MJ to jump out of the screenies and start singing Smooth Criminal
Skals: looking very generic at this point but very cool just the same. make sure all your texture scales are .25 or below tho, this is NOT goldsource

I love that ship too Trempler, great designs inside and out, even if we don't need eyes where we're going
Agreed stojokens, making anything more realistic makes it more believable, espeicailly with scifi/spacships in particular
more great ship designs
(would also post the rescue ship Nightengale from the movie supernova, but i can't find one good picture of it...)

i'm down to work on any spaceship
Bruce: pretty cool pic. does the whole ship rotate about it's "y" axis?
Though being a full-on trekkie at heart, it's hard not to want an actual enterprise; it's every trekkie's wet-dream
we need to decide what type of the craft should we be designingthat is a toughie. at least in terms of style, i dig both the functional design of the first alien movie's ships, though i also love the refined, super-futuristic, and very comfy style of 2001(Arthur C. Clarke) ships and stations.
