As of this current moment, TWHL3 isn't online, but that should change in a few days.

in TWHL3 Needs You! Post #208253
Okie dokie folks!

As we all know, talk of TWHL3 has been floating around for a long, long while now. As a few of you know, a very very early version of TWHL3 exists, which you have been able to run through. This particular version was, of course, constructed by Alex.

However, Alex's commitments to University, plus his stance on waiting until IE7 is more widespread has prevented the further development of TWHL3. I've decided that this isn't acceptable considering that we've been using this version of TWHL for a good many years now and we are in dire need of an update to many areas of the site. As such, I'm throwing open the door to any and all talented PHP coders out there for you to come along and assist me in the completion of TWHL3. Keep in mind that his is a mammoth task, so true dedication is needed here, as well as fairly advanced knowledge of PHP. I have some very clear ideas as to where I want TWHL3 to go, which will of course be supported by as many ideas from the TWHL3 thread that we deem to be good/helpful enough to be included in the site.

You will be working with me (I don't know PHP myself, but I shall be overseeing the look of the site, as well as the implementation of features and the general functionality of the new site) and some other TWHL members. Should the workload become too overbearing, we may take on-board more than one coder. From my current viewpoint, it seems like this'll be the case.

It is time to bring TWHL back to its prime: as a site that's helpful to any and all who decide to come and stay. If you're interested, please PM me. You'll need to include examples of the work you've done, as well as display and aptitude for the work as well as assurance that you'll be dedicated and have the abilities to work in a team and take constructive criticsm. You will be working off the existing TWHL code, the current TWHL3 code and a temporary version of the TWHL database. If you are selected for the task, more information will be granted to you should you require it.

So, that's it. Good luck fellows!

It depends on who's building it to be honest. If you're getting it done at a small computer store, then I'd recommend letting them do it: you're covered by warrenty if they fuck something up when installing it, and they shouldn't charge too much to do it.

Of course, if you're game enough, go ahead and build it. Tis fun.

Compo results were written by SlayerA (but they're my lovely widescreen screenshots), so I'll had my two cents.

Chuck Norris by Masta Killa

It was clear that as soon as this map started we had a winner. Masta Killer's sendup of the world of the infamous Texas ranger had custom skins, voices and some rather nice mapping. It also included some staples of the Chuck Norris world, which were quite ingeniously recreated in the Half-Life engine. A well deserved first.

The Weakest Link by Kasperg

If you haven't seen the show before, this map probably won't be as appealing as it could be. However, if you have, you're enjoy the fact that this is a fairly accurate recreation of the show, right down to the lighting, textures and the format of the show itself. Gordon's walk of shame was a particular highlight, as well as his subsequent rant.

Muppets by The_6th_Monkey

I was wondering when we'd see the Muppets in the Half-Life universe, considering we've had the game for nearly a decade now. The_6th_Monkey delivers, with a map with snarks, G-Man and the Cookie Monster! If that doesn't sound awesome to you, I don't know what does...
My only quip with this map is that it's quite short. However, some interesting entity work makes for a charming rendition of the Muppets theme.

Yes, the wheels turn slow and they always will. Hell, take a look at our respective Governments if you want further proof. While I don't say we should all just give up and become zombies, I think that we should recognise when there's a genuine attempt to change things, rather than berate it when it doesn't quite make it all the time. Personally, I feel that if an effort is made, it's better than getting nothing.

As well as that, I feel that we should all choose more appropriate battles to fight, rather than the ones that are easy. Perhaps that doesn't make sense in this context, but hey, you can make of that what you will.

One does not oppose conformancy for the heck of it.

As for wanting better, Steam is already better than what we previously had. Last time I checked, infrequent updating, incorrect client/server versions and various other issues were not classed as 'good' things.

Complain all you want, but I doubt that the thoughts of a very minimal group of people are going to do a lot to change what clearly are minor and temporary issues. My "deal with it" positions comes with the fact that this isn't exactly a wholly important issue in life that needs a vast amount of attention and emotion devoted to it, which is why I find your rants and that of other members around here so incredibly inane and utterly confusing.

Besides, who says XP is any better than DOS? At least DOS had few viruses... ;)

It goes in the half-life source scripts folder.
The soundscape text files are located in /scripts. If you open up the GCFs for whichever game you're mapping for (we'll say CS:S for clarity), you'll see 'em all in there.

They're prop models.

The Source engine makes use of prop models to supply detail. Put simply, to add one to your map, you need to add a prop_static entity and then open up its properties and select the model you want to use.

The props from office are located in "props/cs_office" and cannot by accessed if you're using the HL2 config for Hammer.

Offline mode has always worked for me, and the couple of times it hasn't worked is no big problem for me, sheesh. It's just a game, get over it.

As for Steam updating, I don't see how it compares to having to jump onto a browser to download an update for another game. Same thing, same gigantic file size, only with Steam you're forced to get it. Which, I maintain, is better because it makes sure that everyone's compatible with everyone else, which is particularly important with online play and modding.

Now, I have 28.8k people. Not even 56k. I have to sit through the updating. Do I complain? No. Hell, when are you guys not on the Internet that you actually have to use Offline mode? So the servers went down, big fucking deal: shit happens. Take a break, go outside, stop encumbering yourself with petty squabbles when your machine, out of how many millions running Steam, has a spot of bad luck.

It's weird, I've had Steam since I got HL2 (and a little before then) and it's never ever giving me grieve. Sure, it's had a couple of issues, but they were all fairly tolerable, considering this is a worldwide service.

So either I'm lucky and you guys are getting horrendous errors, or you're crying over nothing important. Your choice.
