Where'd you get the mask?It's Boone who's wearing it - not me :3
And he got it after we butchered a doctor. It's not a mod. (although dressing companions is.)

Got back into New Vegas after not playing it for a couple of months. This time with mods 
Both players dead? Who wins?
I am sorry I will say this but I have to use yellowish light.No. Seriously, no. That doesn't convey safety, that conveys illness. It's not a warming yellow, it's a rotten yellow - the sort of yellow used in l4d or Ravenholm. Use brightness, not hue to convey safety. Bulbs aren't yellow. They're orange or blue, to varying degrees of saturation. Never yellow.
Rabid, why are you here posting? Hurry and finish Black Mesa. We all know everyone is waiting on you. The rest of the mod was finished a year ago. God damn.
compile time especially. You won't notice much of a difference until a map starts getting very complicated, but propper has seriously reduced my compile times in the past.
use Propper on those criss-crossing beams.
GTAIV is absolutely fantastic in terms of characterisation. The plot is decent and the gameplay is fun enough to support it. It falls short by trying to include too many pointless things like maintaining friendships and dating. Tedious.
It absolutely shines online, though... Well, so long as you can put up with the completely atrocious Games for Windows Live requirement. And by online I don't mean deathmatch or any of the other stupid modes. Get a mate, get on teamspeak and get in free mode. Just run around all of Liberty City with a mate doing stupid shit and having epic stand-offs with the police. It's stupendously good and utterly, shamelessly hilarious. Me and Urby play it, and Bad Company 2 online more than any other game.

The Black Mesa legal team advise me to point out that I have never seen the film Resident Evil. I've never even heard of it, in fact.
Updated:
The older Source games were moved onto the new engine so they would have the features of the new engine, not so they would run on macs. :/
HDR and dynamic flashlights in HL2, SSbumps and particles in CSS.. Really, I don't see where you're drawing your conspiracy theory from.

Just because there was a +50 page thread doesn't mean I'm in the minority. Considering the number of people who use the SDK on a daily basis, I'd say that's a pretty small number actually.
I am friends with a lot of source mappers and none of them have problems with the SDK. I'm also a regular at Interlopers and nobody there has problems with the SDK.
Problems being to the extent of not being able to map, I mean. Obviously a few minor niggles pop up here and there, but like I said - simple fixes.

they completely forgot they even had a pc basehead in hands x2
The SDK has always worked for me. The times it hasn't; it's been a simple fix.

crollo, just shut up. Your avatar is that of a company who are widely considered to have the worst DRM in existence at the moment - a system which genuinely punishes people who buy their game - and you're bawwwing at Valve for expanding to more platforms? Don't be such a complete and utter tool, especially when it's not even remotely relevant to the topic at hand.
ninja defuse, saw already mentioned cs 1.6 in his post:

no one will play deathmatch. Goldsource MP is really down to CS 1.6, and then a little bit spread across HL DM, TFC, and DOD. It'd really just be a waste of time to try and implement DM.cStriker, HL2 is now on the 2009 Source engine.
Sven Co-op has existed since a time when people did play goldsource games online. It has an existing fanbase, and it's not just deathmatch with a few new player skins and guns.
OP4 isn't really a mod. It's a standalone expansion created by an entire studio. You are one guy and there's no point in wasting time and energy on an aspect of the mod that nobody will play. Saw wasn't lying when he said very, very few people play any multiplayer goldsource games anymore.

the winky face was a nice touch.
Do not have a beef with Kasperg and am not bitter in any way shape or form, I was simply replying to personal attacks on my character.
what fun is it playing an awful kasperg mod if he isn't around to have a cryI'm just sayin'
...
Just pretend I'm not here.

Dimbark isn't helping his cause.
Cstriker trolling?
Firstly, Scotland is part of Britain. Therefor Scottish people are British (despite the fact we try not to be.)
Secondly, Urby couldn't be more English if he tried.

modinationAwesome word, I am using it from now on.
Dimbark, nobody is trying to have a go at you, it's just that when honest advice and criticism is given to you, you deal with it, well, the way an 11 year old would and that can try some peoples' patience.
It is awesome that you are into level design at such a young age, but if you want help from a reasonably mature community like TWHL, you have to act a little better.
Now, if you'd be so kind, run HL/your mod, go into options, go into video settings, find resolution and change it to something decent before I kill you.
um.
basically.
Also, slightly unrelated, but are you seriously running HL at 640 x 480? That's genuinely ridiculous. I thought you'd just resized the image until I noticed the comically gigantic steam pop-up.
I don't know how you do it in vtfedit, I use photoshop for every step of the texture creation process. VTF options, normal mapping etc.
you're overcomplicating things. Add an alpha layer to your normal map and add this to your .vmt
"$normalmapalphaenvmapmask" "1"
Here's an example vmt. of a material I did which works fine:
"LightmappedGeneric"
{
"$baseTexture" "huntey/huntey_whiteboard1"
"$surfaceprop" "plastic"
"$bumpmap" "huntey/huntey_whiteboard1_normal"
"$normalmapalphaenvmapmask" "1"
"$envmap" "env_cubemap"
"$envmaptint" "[ .3 .3 .3 ]"
}
"$normalmapalphaenvmapmask" "1"

Well, you could try to carve out some of them and then set them to seperate heights on a scale to 1-3 so that it looks jagged.
Dimbark, it's time to stop posting.

Cstriker, I'm not entirely sure I see what the problem is. It's rendering correctly, isn't it?
I never use VTFedit when I'm making my Source materials, so I can't really help there.

Seems like a perfectly valid question to ask in my opinion.
And it doesn't look like he's broken anything - he seems to have full mobility when he starts sitting up at the end.

Ant: Dark Forces 2 & Mysteries of the Sith were my favourite games for a LONG time many years ago.
Mass Effect 2 was very consolified, but it still shines as an absolutely stupendously good game.
Conveniently a lot of modern cards are coming out which let you force Anti-Aliasing. I was playing AOE2 with 16x AA earlier

I had to turn off Just Cause 2 after the second mission. Voice acting is just too unbearable.
While I'm well aware that the two-year-old HL2 mod "The Citizen" went down about as well as an anvil in your lemon sorbet - due in no small way to the way Kasperg responded to criticism - I still think you should check out the sequel which was released yesterday.
The Citizen: Part II.
It's not perfect, and a few of the complaints from the original mod still made it into this one, but it's a vast, vast improvement and is well worth playing.
I go into more detail in my review.

Wanted! didn't come with the HL1 anthologyYes. Yes it did. As did ricochet and another couple of mods I've completely forgotten about.
It was a 4-disc box with HL1, Blue Shift, Opp4 and CS, as well as the mods and a copy of worldcraft
Edit:
Actually, just remembered it also came with Deathmatch Classic and Team Fortress Classic
Keeping it on is fine. Turning it off repeatedly via the plug is not.
I play around with the power box to do it instantly, because it's quicker and easier.What?
You don't let your computer shut down? Ever? Wow, that thing's going to have a short life-span. And what do you mean by "play around?" Even turning off your computer at the plug shouldn't cause your router to reset as well. It really sounds like you have no idea what you're doing, and I think you should have a little patience and shut down/restart your PC properly before you do some real harm to your system.
Edit:
But wait, that makes no sense. Earlier, you said:
Q: Why not restart your computer?Surely a normal pc restart is faster and easier?
A: Because whenever i do, it is connected to a power curciut which runs our router. My mother's playing LOTRO and will be a while, so I have to wait.
I think I got Wanted and Rocochet with my HL1 Anthology.
WAIT! Everyone stop!
OK, continue.
OK, continue.

Your Jesus analogy works for, say, Photoshop. Average Joe Student isn't going to pay however-many-hundred for a legal CS5 license because it's ridiculous to expect them to be able to afford it. They pirate software like that, gain a great deal of skill in using it first hand and then potentially get a job with a company who does have a license for it. I totally approve of this.
But I don't personally know anyone who can't afford an album at around a quarter of the retail price, and I also don't know anyone who actually buys an album after "evaluating" a pirated version of it.
Also, I am aware that this thread has been majorly de-railed, but it's quite a good discussion.

damn you and your edit block.
Edit:
I feel this post is missing a solid point, so I'll just add that what I'm really trying to say is that pirating music just isn't necessary.
If you do it because you're not willing to pay ~?3.99 for an entire album (store price average ?12) then stop being such a cheapskate.
If you do it because you can't afford to pay ~?3.99, then you should be even more concerned about the possible legal ramifications. A friend of mine was fined ?7000 and had his hard drive wiped.

He's not missing any bread, but he's missing the money he would have earned from the people had they not been given free bread.
And it's all very well saying that "most pirates buy the stuff they like" and you may well do so yourself. Certainly I justify movie piracy for that reason, because I do go and buy the DVD if I like it, but that's only because a good, cheap, legal alternative doesn't exist [in the UK] yet.
It does exist for music and I'm quite happy to fork out ?0.50 to sample a track to see if I like an artist before committing to the full album.
I don't think it's the most morally questionable thing on the planet or anything, and I certainly don't liken it to stealing a handbag, but it is stealing. Don't kid yourself that it isn't.

New indie game/tv geek zombie series available to watch right now on youtube.
Highly recommend it. The acting isn't great, but the production quality is fantastic for an indie show and the characters are likeable.

Why steal music when things like the Amazon MP3 store and Spotify exist?
I just got Daft Punk's new album for ?4 on the MP3 store. I've bought lunches which cost more than that.

New renderers (better than Source's)
I make a big block around it and carve in the middle so I can texture it all at once.wat
