i don't need external programs screwing my code up. it's more efficient than any "optimiser" could make it anyway. you'd have to be a really sloppy coder to have to rely on an "optimiser" to get your code working as it should.

also, the whitespace makes such a minuscule difference that it doesn't matter, and well-formed code is much more important than the 0.2ms difference that unreadable markup would make. a newline is only two characters, in the end.

it's not my code that is slow, it's the server itself.

ah, screw it. use as much custom content as you want. the limitation was really only there because ant was using dialup, but now he can download the entries from uni.

and if freshed actually read the compo page he would know:
We will also be judging how well you 'refresh' the content: think about the Black Mesa modification for Source for an idea of what we mean.

ok:

removing the top 100 thing has been on the list for ages, just never got around to it.

universal bbcode is hard with the currently styling. ant'll have to write CSS for quotes in comments, etc. but theres no way i'm putting images in comments.

you CAN edit your last journal post......right?

comments for news and for MOTM reviews is coming. i have no time to code because uni is piling on the assignments.

journal counts are recorded, but nothing will be added until the profile update which will come soon-ish. i have to code the admin panel first, when i get time.

lets just say i won't be looking for that in particular. just remember that ant has to download it (dialup), and if it's massive for something that doesn't merit the size, he won't be happy :)

trigger_push in the upwards direction only works when you are in the air (i.e. jumping) so you just have to put it in and you'll only get pushed up when you jump :)

in Where do you TWHL3? Post #247385
i've had my no-brand generic five button mouse for 5 years now, and if it ever broke, i'd more willingly shell out 50 bucks for a new one instead of some fancy thing with those dumb weights in them (even though the mouse is only worth like ten bucks). problem is that i can't find the same mouse anywhere, so i have to make sure this one doesn't break.

i think that having set judges is more fair - the general public tend to vote for the users they like rather than the map. that's what motm is for.

well heres what i did:

http://www.penguinboy.kkore.net/hallway_test.zip

play the bsp and see if it's right - the player picks a door, and a different door is shown as a bad path, then the player can pick which door to open from the remaining two (touch the door)

if it's right, someone else can make 24 versions of it, because i'm not.

The vote system had already been made, so it was a simple matter of adding the MOTM vault. (it's also in the vault index page!)

Get voting, if you haven't already!

leaving it as it is. if a user wants a new window, they can middle-click the link. but there is no way to force it to not open in a new window, and that is annoying.

You have to create the VMT as well. The easiest way is to tick 'Auto Create VMT File' under options. This will create the VMT when you save the VMF. Then save it into the materials directory of the game you are mapping for. (example: steamapps/username/half-life 2/hl2/materials)
