Neat Pepper! I've never seen a SMG like that before...or is it a snub assault rifle!?
Congrats to Rimrook, The Hunter, and Jax!
Well done

I don't get that one either...
My fav, but it's a gif...
I don't get Seventh's either. Maybe one of those who lol'd at it can explain.
Although, I think only colonials wore those type of hats, so it's most likely another zing aimed at us dumb yanks...
Picture still made me laugh

Yeah the idea of map from the base is the best!Yeah, I agree in that it will be easier, and nobody really will have an excuse not to finish...including me!
Should have a shorter deadline, lots more entries, and be a bit easeier to judge too, I would think.
I would do as darkphooenix_68 says, but if you insist on using the func_button, make sure Health if shootable is set to 0.
I can't think of any other reason it would behave that way. I think older FGD's had the default setting for it to 1, so by default, your button wouldn't work unless you changed it, or shot the button

I never said you worshiped Him--though you must admit you pimp him a lot when you post in here 
The prevailing trend seems to me regarding Zappa though, is that most people I know either really like him, or really don't

I've never met anyone that liked to lose
Your choice, everybody's loss--yours and ours!
Other people learn by looking at your map too!

@Daub: Some of my friends worship Zappa... though his stuff doesn't seem to appeal to me at all.

Okay, I'm just waiting for some screenies, then I'll post the results.Sweet. I hope there will be links to all the entrants work as well
Who gives a crap about 4GBIt's not about the space you fucking moron. If software is earmarking 4GB of space without your knowledge/consent, that's just plain bullshit, period.
HDD space is also more valuble when your a mobile user...so fuck you and your 300GB HDD[/envy]
You should pay more attention to your PCIndeed I should. Checking out SV now, looks neat...
The HL2 and source demo do take up that much space if they're installed.
If you clicked on the link from hardforum, you would see how much space they actually take up:

source sounds.gcf - 975mb
source models.gcf - 449mb
source materials.gcf - 1.01gb
source engine.gcf - 68.6mb
half-life 2 content.gcf - 838mb
It doesn't actually download the data, it just creates temporary cache files as placeholders so it won't run out of space during the potential download.Well that changes everything. That means Steam was never robbing the precious bandwith, nor HDD real estate...
Thanks for the 411 Rabid!
She is hot
Don't waste your time. Tycell apparently wouldn't mind if someone was leeching huge amounts of his bandwith/HDD space, without his knowlege/permission, for something he didn't need/want.
If you mean was there a progress bar or something, no.
But the very next day, All this free space. I suppose I should have tried to confirm this somehow before posting, but I really don't see how it could be anything else...
edit: Check out the random rants on this link. It confirms the filesize at least:

Not True? I'm telling you it was over 4 gb.
There is no other explanation. One day I had 19 GB free, and the next over 23 GB free, AND it happened to be on the exact day I deleted the "placeholders" as you call them.
I never delete anything, let alone 4GB! How else could I lose/gain that much without knowing about it. I haven't installed anything new in ages either...
I'm telling you man...

miraculously short amounts of timeIt would have to be over a long period of time, of course--probably ever since the demo became available.

At the very least they should ask you, or have something in settings to disable it.
I guess that would explain high pings sometimes, but I really had no idea until now.
If you're not aware of this you should be!!!
Just yesterday I found I had 4 GB more space on my HDD than normal, and to put it lightly I was shocked! I mean, 4 GB is quite a large sum to just disappear without notice or at least someone letting you know, right?
I finally realized what it was. The other day, I decided I was tired of seeing the HL2 Demo and CS source demo on steam, and I found you could delete them. What I didn't know, is that steam preloaded both of these, in full on my HDD, thereby chewing up my bandwith and HDD space without asking or even letting me know
Is it just me, or is this complete and utter bullshit??

Are all the compo maps currently on the server? Will they be made available after the results come in?
I think everyone's map who entered should have a link on the results page, and you should be able to post comments.
My 2 cents.

I always run with "full VIS". Try running with "VIS off" and notice how high your wpolys go! This is because without VIS or VIS with -fast, the engine renders everything at the same time, or too much at the same time in the case of using "fast VIS".
Running "Full VIS" also makes RAD run more efficiently I'm told.
Check here for a list of what all the compile paramaters do, for each compile stage...

That's a great idea!
Now if they would only add this for texture alignment!

Nice representation lol!
You have to do it in expert compile
Click the "expert" button.
Underneath, click on the string that has "VIS" in it.
Under Parameters add: -full
Then compile.
Should be good to go.

Yup.
"Fix" won't fix it. Just select it in the "Find Problems", then exit that dialogue box, and hit DEL key.
Hit ALT-P again to make sure it's gone.

Wouldn't work for me 'cause I don't want it to restrict the player, just the snarkies.

Tosse: All I know, is the only way I can get the same exact error as the one your speaking of, is to have an incorrect path set for a sprite.
I haven't tested it, but if the sprite in question "lives" in your sprites folder in Hammer, perhaps that's why you can see it in-editor and not in the game--I'm grasping at straws here now Tosse!
Final word from me. Try not hitting the "browse" key either. In Hammer, you should simply have:
sprites/spritename.spr
And nothing else, unless you have a subdirectory for the sprites folder, which you should not
Elon: Just tried it and my "glow3.spr" shows up fine. Unrelated probably: Some of my weapons models don't show up in-editor--3.5Beta--, but show up in the game just fine.

RegScrubXP didn't work for me for a clean install for some things, and hence, was pointless for me.
RegVac is perfect for most things, but not everything. Actually the only program I can think of that it didn't work for is Paint Shop Pro.
How are you gauging that it works nicely, young padawan?
@Seventh: Is too useful!

@Kasperg: I just ran into a similar problem in HL1--my VIS was crashing at the same point that Bobthereaper's was...
I "func_walled" some weird vm'd brushes on my map, and Voil?--works like a champ now!
Thanks Kasperg
edit: Does any of the -chart data reflect leaf portals, so you can know how close to the limit you are? I have plenty of resources for everything that [i]-chart[i/] tracks. The closest thing to running out is clipnodes:
clipnodes 21125/32767

I use RegVac, and it works nicely for subverting the trial period for most shareware...err, COUGH... I mean it's pretty good for cleaning my registry.

LoL! At first I was going to agree with the Captain, but now I'm not so sure... Might be a bit more complicated than it would need to be, though I know when rating some maps, you definitley lump maps with the same rating that are not of equal quality, because the scale is too limited.
Makes no difference anyway, because you're still going to have jerks that rate an amazing map 2 stars, and the reverse...

@darkphoenix_68: True, but you could use func_door rotating, make it "not solid", and use trigger hurts for damage.
Func_doors in cs can be made to be "passable" so you could do the same thing.
WCD: Could also use the "angular velocity" thingie, and have spinning, falling debris like the cork in Elon's Casa compo entry.

Yes, I agree for a newcomer, it would be easier the way Pepper said.
Keep the sections you have as introductions, followed by the step-by-step instructions perhaps.

Good point! I wasn't looking at them as weapons, so it makes sense they behave differently
