So here's an ingame screenshot as requested:Nothing very special here. It's as messy as most of my maps :D. Except there are all kinds of usable/dynamic objects in my map
Is that 512x512x512? 
[EDIT] Added a "hologram" custom animated texture effect in my map. It's on the second floor. Don't know why... just for the "laboratory" effect.
[EDIT2] I hope it's not a problem if I have half a dozen custom sounds included :D.
Nah, it's 1x1unit triangles for curves.Never would've thought about that.

They are controled by a multimanager. It's for the effect. But I can ignore anyway those errors. The map is running just fine.
I also discovered the secret of making realistic wires. It is called "patience".

I think it will work without including them. Thanks for the tip potatis_invalid. I forgot about that entity 
I also mention I've got a shiploadbattlecruiserload of "Too many light styles on a face" errors

"I will promote two of my favorite programs in my map. :)"
Double fixed.
[EDIT]
Fast question: Does everybody has these two textures in the lights.rad, or it's just compile dependent?

At a later time. Oh and, the guy from your avatar(has to do with c&c4 I think, which received a lower metacritic rating than supreme commander2) makes me want to punch his face. idk why...
I will promote in my map 2 of my favorite programs :))

[EDIT] Here's a snapshot of mine:
I don't know where this is going, and with the truckload of entities, I can only hope that everyone will be able to run this(it runs smoothly on my pc though).
[EDIT] Here's a snapshot of mine:
Hi, welcome back!(altough I don't know you and in 2004 when you registered here I even didn't know what's Half-Life).
Seems like there's nostalgia touching humans around the world.
Soup Miner, you'll never guess what I accidentally read from your post =))

Ok.
ya the blue has to be the last color in pallette.It doesn't. It needs to be pure blue, that's all. Argh I'll demonstrate this!
When I have time...
@Striker: did you take a screenshot of a screenshot to check for the index? Jezus what!Look :
Example(but in this screenshot your texture colors are altered by level lighting):It was an example of checking the color index, not checking if the color is right in that screenshot. Please read before you post!
Example(but in this screenshot your texture colors are altered by level lighting):
DiscoStu, from what I know "{" is there just to indicate the texture should be used with "solid" mode, it doesn't need to be there. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[EDIT] I will experiment with this.
[EDIT] I will experiment with this.
Look, I frequently have this problem. It's wally's fault- even though in GIMP( or Photoshop or what you use), you set the blue to pure blue (0 0 255), wally\the compression format may alter that color. All you have to do is edit the pallete in Wally. Select with the color picker the blue that you consider it should be pure blue, and then edit its properties: make it 0 0 255 
So nobody from here enjoys dramas\war films?
Dr Stranelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb 10/10I think it's Strangelove. I wouldn't rate that film 10 out of 10, it's rather boring, though it's an excellent thought manipulator.
Jeux Interdits
As I already said in a thread, this film made me drop a few tears. It's almost a perfect drama.
Au revoir les enfants
This is another drama, with the children becoming friends in a school. One of them is a Jew, and it will be taken by Nazis at the final of the film.
I don't know why, but older films like these really touch my soul, these new films are mostly ...."cold"...
And I also watched Band of Brothers, which is a series of films from the WW2. Here's a shot: The Nazi camp
If you're attentive, one of the commanders or lieutenants or what are they, really looks like Barney Calhoun

I'm like Captain Terror: I don't have a favorite band, and I listen to music according to my feelings...
And my music is as diverse as my feelings:
-classic music(just a few tracks, I don't have a lot of them) for delight/anger/melancholy
-rock for enthusiasm
-pop/"normal music" for ... regular feelings, or how should I define them ....
-electronic music(dnb,trance,bigbeat etc...): when I sense a little doze of adrenaline combined with enthuziasm....
Oh well... I just watched a very cool film, Jeux Interdits(1952), il m'a fait pleurer... the guitar music alone makes me feel sad... that film woke up a lot of feeling in me, it's the best drama I've ever seen...
So for the next days I'll perhaps avoid(not really intentionally) listening to "happy" music
[EDIT] Oh that film just makes me want to be 11 again.... I just love their simplicity and innocence. And the thing that hurts is that, as I grow up, my innocence is lost.... I make contact with the crude world... and after watching films like this I can't just ignore that fact( I'm usually optimistic)...
I apologize for the offtopic.

In 2 or 3 weeks I'll have a mini holiday of about a week( if not 2, but I don't know). Until then I will upload my cubicle( which frankly, is kind of a mess, but perhaps it's funnier that way... you'll see..).
Then, I will try to start on a map using the King of the Hill, as Rimrook suggested. Hurrah to Ati !

So what's the trick in making those natural wires, and how much did it take you to do them? Or does that trick reduce the time?
I have like 20mb left to last me till Friday.Oh, that's awful. I thought your only problem was the low internet speed. I didn't know you have limited bandwidth consumption. That's like... how the internet was perhaps 10 years ago in my country.
ACtually I think there is a tool( or plugin) dedicated to 3D skyboxes.
I use Windows XP too.
I think you need to work more on the textures on the first image of every pair of photographs.
I could place a bet somebody thinks of the p word =))
I don't think you understand what's a texture. First of all, easy on the vocabulary, I haven't insulted you to talk like that.
Second, it's meant to be used as a poster\logo, what you want.

I made something to use in my map :
Use it freely if you want. It's ready to go in wally, because you guessed it, it's 512x512
Problem oddly solved. I triggered the ambient_generic with a trigger_auto, and now it loops.
Well, I was asking for a solution actually.
Quick mapping question: If I have a toggle-able door(from a button\multimanager or something else), when it is toggles(so that it moves), and on one of its faces it has a animated button texture, will the texture animate to "Open" state ? ( I made a custom on\off texture +0mytexture\+Amytexture)
[EDIT] I found out the answer. It won't. Damn... I might try using a button
[EDIT2] @#$#%$EWFDSI#@....*&*@#%!~ !!!!!
I made a loopable sound. With goldwave, added 2 cuepoints( one at the beginning and one at the end), and saved it as 8-bit mono WAV format( altough I tried with 16-bit and it works in some cases).
WHY IS THE SOUND NOT LOOPING IN-GAME ?!?!?!?!

Wow, with me going to to bank next week to unblock my card and make it available for paypal, I think I'm getting into this 
( I hope :D)
( I hope :D)I would just have liked to see what things would have been without Bills Gates and without Microsoft or the isolation that microsoft has created in the office world and the whole personal computer world as a wholeI wonder how things would've been without Hitler on the WW2 scene...
That's how life is, the history can't be changed. If Microsoft didn't existed, a man from 6 billion could've still figure out until now a "windows" like operating system.
[EDIT] Btw, I don't want to make a new thread, so I'm giving this piece of information here( it's offtopic sorry):
All HDD companies adhered to a new standard for HDDs: 4 kb sectors instead of 512 bytes. This should improve the efficiency of the HDD with about 10-15% (if I remember correctly), the problem being that Windows XP is not so compatible with this technology. The real problem for XP users is that this technology will gradually be implemented until 2011. So it's implemented as we talk...
I anyway want to switch to Windows 7 by 2012 or 2013...
Microsoft had its peak, I think, in the late 90' and at the beginning of the last decade.
What they did with Netscape was miserable. No problem. Now they are slowly being killed by the evolution. See Microsoft Encarta. Destroyed by Wikipedia...
The only software that really keeps them alive is Windows, because it's just so popular, and Microsoft Office.

Wow, it seems you're good at making prefabs....
Can you build me a protoss mothership pls? xD

I also use a custom wad made by me( only a few textures).
Should I include it in the BSP or provide it as it is ?

I don't know what's the time limit on this, but I'm going to post mine in 1-2 weeks, depends...
It's because I have little time to dedicate to mapping right now, but small projects like this worth the chance :).
Expect a low-quality brushwork, but lots of funny entities in my cubicle.

I'm rotating the cube because it's simpler geometry, so I don't have to rotate my complex geometry.
My map respects the definition : 512 units cube, but it's rotated like this :
Is there a problem with that ? It's rotated because I have a longer element in it that needs to fit in.
That's impressive, I must say. Still, Valve's first objective should be Ep3.
I wonder if Portal2 is still on source ?

It would be awesome if Valve will just put ep3 for sale on steam without announcing anybody.
Quote from those threads :
My brain is going to explode, this is what Valve has been working on for the last several months, this one updateSeriously, they'd better make an Episode3 announcement.
It better be fast
No. Just make your map as nice as possible. I only need the BSP and your custom resources. You don't need an exit or entrance or any evidence of such.Ok.... so how are you going to join them together? Or you won't ?
I just can't find it.
I've got an ideea :
Build a mobius strip
Sorry for making a new thread. I really hate that bumping the thread feature. This forum is seriously outdated in terms of functionality, compared to modern forums. If an admin would be nice, please copy this content(not the bumping whining ) into the original thread.

) into the original thread.Soon, Nvidia will own the market. At least the high performance range.
They'll soon release Nvidia GTX 470 and GTX480. With support for DX11 of course, CUDA and PhysX.

For that very reason and to celebrate ATi fixing shit, I am in. I am so in that if were any further in I would be out.You mean now hammer really works ? If so, I'm going to update my drivers( haven't updated from december) and get to work !
This sounds like a job for Rimrook
lawl viruses that attack an antivirus program? This is new to me 
I use avast! in combination with comodo firewall. Both free. They love each other, I didn't have problems with viruses for a long time now( well actually I never really had serious problems, but when I had AVG(yes, I had AVG for 2 years before switching to avast!), it was reporting viruses now and then, it's true that I had a sucky combination, AVG+Ashampoo Firewall).
