Don't see why I should use the Lost Coast sand though, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong (imo) with the Anzio one. I'll test it.
Lost Coast water is officially in by the way. Just have to test it out.
Forum posts
Time for me to bork the forums.
Today, I kinda worked on de_venetia a bit (optimisation enhancements), but before I did, I loaded up CS:S and bumped up the graphics settings. Boy does it look purty...
I'm also planning to replace the dod_anzio water with the Lost Coast water. A couple of testers had issues with the water, so I'm changing it. The Lost Coast water should look better anyway.

Alex is coding something good soon.
Well, if you observe the front page, jobabob, you will notice about a million accounts from the same person. Our other spammer, Jay-dk, created multiple accounts and proceeded to spam them. Last night and tonight he made new accounts and spammed the crap out of the Maps and Mods forum.
So yes, they're both fucked up little piss-weeds.

You could buy half a farm with that kind of cash!
Yeah, except they're only for countries in the Commenwealth, or countries who were part of the Commenwealth once (i.e. was once part of England's empire).
It ain't blinkin' for me...

Here's also what I think:
Atom, Andy, Seventh-Monkey, Rabid-Monkey, SlayerA, myself and the forum mods have all put in countless hours of effort in sustaining this (for the most part) wonderful community. We have all devoted our time for no reason, apart from our love of what we do. This site is offered free to anyone who wants to use them. Does that give you free reign to abuse the site in every way imaginable? No, it doesn't.
You were given chances, more chances that most people here felt was nessecary, yet you prevailed. You continue to trash the site. You've brought it down and degraded it, thanks to your completely pointless and pathetic actions. There is absolutely no way in hell that you are EVER getting another chance on this site. EVER.
And for your information, this site primarily concerns beginners, so who knows what the fuck you're on about when you talk about "skilled mappers" - hell, we have more here now than we did when I joined.

We'll get Alex to fix that. Blinky red for us soon.

No its not, Australia is leading the medal tally. By a huge margin, I might add.
They should just rename the Commenwealth games to "Give Every Aussie A Medal Week".

Well, that's your problem.

Yeah, Alex is right. At its busy times, IRC produces some great conversations (and some retarded ones, but hey, we all love those ones). I guess a lot of people come and go during in-active periods. Oh well, your loss.
Netscape died (thank God).
Can't believe people still use IE. I simply cannot comprehend using that piece of hacked up shit program.

TWHL has changed since you were last here, jobabob.
Goldsource since and before I arrived here in 2003, and Source as soon as it came out.
This post was made on a thread that has been deleted.

Yeah, that'd be suicide, Kasperg. 
Hahaha.
Well, I respect your opinion nonetheless. Just give it time.

Jax you dick. Stop using IE.
These arguements are pointless. If someone prefers FireFox then they're gonna say its "better" than Opera and vice-versa. I've seen the comparision threads too (Opera usually comes out on top). Sure, it may be missing the feature to add plugins (closest it has is the new widget feature), but I'm really not too fussed about it.
Alex, who knows a fair bit more about this than I do, has concrete evidence of what Opera can do and what FF can't. Personally, I like how I can Mail, IRC and web browsing all in the one app. It varies with people.
However, both O and FF are VASTLY superior to IE. IE is like browsing while a rod is being slowly inserted in your arse.

Paint has awful JPEG compression artifacts though. Use a better proggie, like Irfanview (which is free iirc).
Yes, he posted this a little while ago. Its very interesting: I'd join up if I were free. 
Pwnage!
Yeah, its the only way habboi will get some.
There's plenty of ways to hypnotise chickens (most of 'em work too, oddly enough).

It may be a rubbish name, but that's the name of the engine.
Obviously you'll get used to it over time, I just don't see the point in complaining about it.

Dauby, get a proper version!
Basically, certain aspects of mapping for Source are easier than Goldsource. However, the effort it takes to produce an extremly good looking map that uses the existing props properly (yes, its possibly) is a lot higher.

Yes, it happens. And it gets fixed. I see absolutely no problem with this. As for the refreshing, what's your specs? Keep in mind how much it's rendering too?
The Hunter, that's a pretty stupid comment to make.
Hehe. I'll watch a couple of events.
I'm sure that when people first started out with Goldsource they thought it was incredibly complex too, and hardly anyone scratched at the engine then. Valve have given more access more quickly to its new engine than it did with Goldsource, which is why you seem to be inundated with different things.
Yes, some of those things are fairly major, but I've yet to see a major bug that hasn't been resolved in a short amount of time. I'm sure there's a million games where the devs simply let the bugs ruin the game for everyone...

I'll admit, Doom III's dynamic lighting walks all over Source's, but at the end of the day, there are other things to look for.
Erm, may I ask why the hell you'd bother?
Here's my two bits. But first:
Holy shit, teh jobabob. Welcome back.
Anywho.
I've used the SourceSDK extensively when it came out and I've recently returned to Hammer 3.5 to map for a HL project. In my opinion, comparing Source to Goldsource is just petty. More than likely, you, as well as ZombieLoffe have gotten used to the way Hammer 3 runs, and mapping in general for Goldsource (which is actually extremly easy if you've been on Source for a while). As such, adjusting to a new engine that brings with it so much more complexities that Goldsource never had (props, physics, etc etc) is obviously going to pose more of a challenge and thus be more frustrating if you don't give yourself time to ease yourself in.
As for the SourceSDK system and Steam in general, its another petty arguement. Steam is a huge, HUGE platform, delievering content to God knows how many PC's. Can you realistically expect that it will work flawlessly on every single PC that its installed to? I think the fact that Valve constantly update it shows that at least they care (to some level) about their customers and are willing to invest time in a gradually improving piece of software. Personally, I've had absolutely no problems with Steam whatsoever: updates are easy to get, Hammer automatically configures itself, there's no extra downloading of bits and pieces to do, its all there and ready to use.
As for Hammer itself, I find myself missing the MANY improvements that Hammer 4 has over 3. Even simple things like transparent textures is something that I've grown to rely on.
Perhaps I got relatively lucky: I picked up Source mapping relatively quickly. But really, if you're gonna complain about silly things (not nessecarily you, jobabob, but some members of the mapping community) like the fact that you have to use prop models, then you're an idiot. Please explain to me how you would insert some decent detail into your maps, such as trees, little props, etc by using brushwork? Come on people, Source is a modern engine, you can't curse it because it wants to make an attempt at looking decent!

The difference between HL2 and Doom III was that HL2 had a game attached to its engine.
I mean, look at Far Cry. Everyone went "OMG ELITE" at the graphics but ack, what a junky game! Graphics aren't everything you know, which is something Doom III suffers from. Sure, it may look better, but there are other things to look at apart from what's aesthetically pleasing. Source's facial motion technology is second only to Pixar films: it helps build up what I think is a fantastic story which is told in a incredibly slick and professional way.

Source will work on a DirectX7 card, provided you've got some meat elsewhere on your rig. Which you don't.
