Amy Diamond - What's in it for me?

Ah ah ah ah
Okej

It's so confusing
You sure been messing with my mind, eh eh eh eh yeah
You cut me loose and
Suddenly we're doing fine
I'm not a perfect little girl
But I should get what I deserve
And I refuse to be your mother
So tell me

What's in it for me - I really gotta know
What's in it for me - this ain't a one man show
You in my life you come and you go
Ain't happy about it - so I gotta know
What's in it - what's in it for me

(What's in it - what's in it)
Yey
(What's in it - what's in it)
Aao

Please understand me
Your games ain't working anymore, ain't working anymore
You can't have this candy
And keep one foot outside the door, noo
And how you only come around
When your life is upside down
And I'm about to blow your cover
So tell me

What's in it for me - I really gotta know
What's in it for me - this ain't a one man show
You in my life you come and you go
Ain't happy about it - so I gotta know
What's in it - what's in it for me

(What's in it - what's in it
What's in it - what's in it)

I got no time for a hit and run
I need more than a little fun
Cause I only play for keeps
I gotta know what's it all about
Go ahead and spit it out
Say what's in it for me
What's in it for me

Aah
Hang on

Yeah
(What's in it - what's in it)
Ohoh
I really gotta know, oh
(What's in it - what's in it)
Yey, this ain't no one man show
You in my life you come and you go
Ain't happy about it - so I gotta know

What's in it for me - I really gotta know (oh)
What's in it for me - this ain't a one man show
You In my life you come and you go
Ain't happy about it - so I gotta know
What's in it - what's in it for me

(What's in it - what's in it)
Oh
What's in it - what's in it for me

I stopped using IE in March you Sweedish cockslave!

Only 1/3 of those links have IE on the desktop--if you bothered to look...

And ever since, the healing/protective light of Mozilla Corp. has lighted my way...
The reason I know, Is cause around that month, I stopped saving 'favourites' for IE.

Anyone know how to save firefox bookmarks--like individual links in IE--btw? Don't ask why I save them, just an OCD thing, I think...

Yeah, just copied it to notepad, spruced it up a bit. Not using the pre tags just buggers the spacing, so that's all it took

in Bash my work in progress!(again!) Post #136673

Alright, i'll comment for each pic 1-7:

1. Fountain looks ok. Lack of detail of the house is horrifying though.

2. Chandelier is cool. Would be cooler if the lights were on. The rest looks pretty neat.

3. Nice, exept that wood texture is pants. Picture frame looks nice.

4. I love those ceiling lights!

5. Looks nice. W00t for the spiral staircase, if that's what it is--dark.

6. Nice. Reminds me of maison de l'Merilvingian from the last Matrix.

7. Hallway looks blocky and quite pants.

...do we ever clean out the map vaults?

Of course everbody would like to 'prune' the map vault.

I personally would like to banish many member's maps to the great singularity. Unfortunately, that sword cuts both ways...

Also, Atom has made it clear previously he has no intention of doing that. Learning site, blah blah blah.

Oh well it's probably for the best.

in My sound won't loop! Post #136544

Thanks, rowleybob! Sry for the thread, tho.. smile -

You're welcome, and don worry about it.

Thinking on it more, these recurring questions wouldn't be so If our ever-aging entity guide was spruced up a little.

That creates a new problem in two parts:

1. Who's willing to spend the time on it?

2. Who's knowledgeable enough to make reliable changes?

How about searching the forum before making a post? This has been covered at least 10 times.

Here's one, aptly named: Ambient Generic won't loop.

why when I always ask this quastion nobody answers it

Probably because teh cs skies are pretty bad. Is there a paticular reason why they have to be cs?

As your attorney, I would recommend making your own. It's not very hard imo.

I would be willing to make one for you if you like. PM me with the details if your interested.

in Embarassing... Post #136059

My mind has repressed most depressing moments of my life. Not that I don't feel like shit anyway, but I've got nothing to talk about.

This belongs in the Sour Grapes thread! The funny thing about repressed moments, unfortunately, is they don't always stay that way...

Maybe the words of my father will not comfort you as they do not comfort me, whenever I mention being 'down in the dumps' to him:

Life's hard, and then you die.

Most embarassing moment:

I was at a party--12-13 years old--and my friend pulled down my shorts/underwear in front of like 60 people!

or

My mom caught me 'flossing' when she walked in the bathroom which I forgot to lock.

Flossing btw is when you roll up the towel after showering, and 'floss' between you legs with it...

I did a search for 'Mapping tips' and came up with no less than 5 really good threads on this subject.

Maybe we should congeal them into one contiguous list/tutorial or something, perhaps in sections like:

General Beginner
...............
.......
..............
General Advanced
..........
..............
......
Style
............
............
............
Optimization
............
......
.................

The Beginner tutorials basically do this already, but I'm talking about just a big list of the best ones, for those of us with short attention spans...

Yeah I suppose my method is backwards compared to yours.

I add all the details, and then remove what I have to at the end. My real problem though, Is that I'm not so willing to change the layout. I guess I want to see what the map 'looks' like complete, before I chop it up for performance reasons.

After I become more experienced, and have a better idea about what can and can't be done, I'm sure I'll map more like you!

in where could i get a sound for a.... Post #135289

Try this for some more details on custom sounds using the ambient generic entity.

While the entity guide is dated, It's still useful for general Info. Search the forums for ambient_generic/custom sounds/pak/etc., for more detailed info.

A couple of notes:

Some HL sounds have cue points, and some don't. Ones with will loop continously 'till triggered off, and ones without will only play once until triggered again, regardless of flags/settings.

If you edit cue points on HL sounds--I use Goldwave--you'll need to include the edited .wavs with your map distribution. Hopefully the sound you need has cue points, so you don't have to mess with it.

I personally--while using a pak explorer--copy all the original HL sounds into my Hammer/sound folder. This way, I can check them out without another piece of software. 'Do the same thing with models and sprites too.

If you can't get it to work, check out someones map that has sound, and see how they did it. Decompile if you have too, but many maps here come with the .rmf file so you can edit/look.

Thanks ZL...At first I thought her songs were worse than the smell of my friend's pet python throwing up a week-old, half-digested rat on the poker table.

I couldn't have learnd it from this site!

Um, actually yes you could have. Atom's tutorial expains expert mode, and the documentation that explains all the command switches--full vis for example--comes with the compile tools. :

And what I said before was not meant as a slight. I was merely trying to point out that none of us knows everything, nor necessarily uses all the resources we have available to us.

Not true. I just activated 2 lights, 3 doors, and a sprite animation with one one button; giving those things the same name. :

That's bad design there, then, rowley... shouldn't take that long.

If by bad design you mean a large oudoor map, then you are correct. Unfortuantely, these are the only type of map I seem to have any interest in making.

My brushwork for this map is impeccable, in terms of always being on-vertex, no clipping, etc. In other words, clean, so I don't think there are any problems there.

Better would be, when detailing area's, to use the Cordon Compile tool.

Though I think your being just a little dramatic about skipping VIS during the early stages of the map, your advice is sound just the same.

I guess the bigger and more 'open' your map is , the more relevant skipping VIS is in terms of time-saving in the early stages, imo.

I always thought VIS/RAD didn't run when using Cordon, but I just found out how wrong I was!

Ladies and gentlemen, our latest member to the noob question club, Mr. Elon Yariv!!!

in half life 1 mapping hints and tips Post #134764

The most important thing I could think of to add, is something that will save you lots of compile time, and something I've only just started doing myself.

While your developing your map, run CSG, RAD, and BSP, but not VIS untill the final stages, and then run with full VIS.

If you don't know what this stuff means, check out Atom's tutorial, here.

For example, here are compile times for a map I'm currently workning on:

csg...6 seconds
vis....16 minutes
rad...23 seconds
bsp...3 seconds

As you can see, If I run VIS everytime, I have to wait almost 18 minutes to check between compiles, which for a highly impatient person like myself, is simply unacceptable.

By skipping VIS, 'till the end, you will save oodles of time, and be able to more easily remember what you've changed between compiles.
