yeah life is funny like that soup! I find the most fucked up things happen to me when i am fucked up. it's like a subset of murphy's law or something...
yeah i hate that func_water comes out fullbright. is there any way around this?
Edge of Darkness (2010)
Surprisingly better than i thought it would be.
The plot idea is stupid imo but that doesn't matter. you
get to see Mel Gibson kick people's asses in the true
"lethal weapon" style that made him famous.

Darkie: looks pretty good to me! = )
Striker: that looks fantastic! can't wait to see it in the game.. =)
tjb/muzz/know: same here! i'm starting my third attempt right now...
Sajo: Yay glad you're in this too! (still waiting for your rooms entry.. =P)

kdunivan: Soup was just trying to help you. You shouldn't take things so personally and take a little criticism, especially when you make an semi-unintelligible post(we are all guilty of this from time to time). I think everyone is pretty nice/lenient around here but that's just my opinion..Sajo: Yay glad you're in this too! (still waiting for your rooms entry.. =P)
yeah just kiddin man... = )
HL1
Texlights using lights.rad or mapname.rad:
In order for the lights to be processed, you must have the a lights.rad file, or have the mapname.rad file (expert compile only) in your vhe/maps directory. There is no way to wadiclude your light values using this method
Texlights using info_texlights(my preferred method):
-Delete the lights.rad file from your zhlt directory
-mapname.rad file is unnecessary
Simply include the info_texlights entity(rename any entity to "info_texlights") and add the texurename and light values in there. If you have A LOT of texlights, i would recommend using multiple info_texlights to avoid bugs (i usually put about 8 per entity. sometimes if you put more than that, the lights won't work fsr).
Using this method, your texlights will in effect be "wadincluded", in the sense that anywhere your rmf goes, your light values will be there.

I honestly don't know. sorry...

yeah, i'm not gonna touch that one..
there's nothing wrong with it afaik, but like image shack, you can link to the user page or the image iteslf. I was just trying to say people prefer being directed to the image itself, and not the page with the ads, that's all.
)
edit: when you click "open in a new window", the thumb comes up instead of the regular image, gah..P
nothing, except link to the image directly and not to the photobucket page, like i said above.
Looks neat Striker! (can't wait to see what all that does.)
I dunno it's just simpler/better imo.
)
and yea about the texlights, i agree with Potato. I never use the stock lights.rad file, and only the info_texlight entity. (My rad values are ALWAYS lower than the stock ones, and i don't want to inadvertently included a "lit" texture accidentally to throw off my lighting)I dunno it's just simpler/better imo.
New wip:
tho i must say i'm getting sick of this one too.. maybe 3rd time's a charm?!
)
How do you "move" from one cubicle to another btw? (sorry if it's already been covered)looks great Don! Looking forward to more pics....
)
My only complaint is your image hosting.. can't you link directly to the image or use imageshack like everyone else?!Looks nice disco! you always make decent use of the original textures.. (can't wait to see what special effects doodads you've in the map..)
)
do you play dungeons & dragons down there?

Repo movie with Jude law.
shitty but i really didn't expect anything more... It's truly amazing with all the talented writers out there, that most modern movies fail at having a remotely plausible/interesting story...
I mean, who's in charge of approving these scripts?!

Hi sir!

yeah it's pretty amazing i must say. I'd love to hear some insight on how you were able to to do that with the stock HL entity set... simply amazing.
thanks dude! can some mod person please redirect the link to there?
Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, The Fratellis, and The Libertines.In that order? i've never herd of any of those bands tbh.. except FF that is: michael you're a beautiful dancer dance with me michael!

Soup: I'm listening to Underground Communication now. I LOVE the beats, but i could do without 2/3 of the vocals tbh... Still, quite cool i will check out some more of their stuff fo sho!)
Zeeba: i youtubed some of there stuff, pretty good. Any particular album you'd recommend?Hotdog: my friend loves that band, i don't really get it... =)
AtDestroy: used to LOVE 3 days grace, but haven't listened to them in a while...
way too many to choose from, and it all depends on my state of mind at a particular moment.... If someone held a gun to my head i would just blurt out KELLY CLARKSON!!

rofl @hotdog. = )
potato: nice
kdunivan: yeah i like them too, but not nearly enough to put cartoonized portraits on my desktop... =D

Thanks all for nice comments, but i think i agree with Soup Crafter and i'm gonna redo it.
TJB: try using a proxy or does your school do a good job of blocking them?
klobb: not sure but you can try wadincluding your textures, and provide all your custom content (non-hl sprites, models, gfx) etc with your room and it might work if you don't use any non-hl entities.. (second thought, just changing the fgd in hammer really wouldn't be that hard)
; )

Soup: yes please share you're method! (i've always struggled myself making natural looking wires...) Are u using the clip or scaling tool, or doin it all by hand?TJB: try using a proxy or does your school do a good job of blocking them?

Here's my cubicles wip i've been struggling with:
I'm really not happy with the direction it's going, and i feel like i'm just jackin' off in the editor... I will probably start over entirely and build a real-world thing rather than something abstract-ish like this....
(
Nice klobb! (i love the story but i never played the game...)
I've looked exhaustively for just such a thing and i finally gave up. the closest thing i was able to find was a semi-useful tool called SkyPaint
Pleez post a link to plugin if you find it!!

use a big circular model? i wish they made a plugin or something for ps that would make 2d-skyboxing easier... I bet rim will have a solution for you tho..
)
Hell ya Klobb, especially if you have a cash prize, i'm sure lots of people will join!
)
not really at this point, but i'm sorry to hear you won't be continuing HLSF... you guys did really well with it, but i'll vastly be looking forward to your new source projects! (i think Goldsource was a bit too limiting for you, so maybe it's a good thing)
yeah i need to use max more.. but i SO enjoy doing stuff in hammer 3.x fsr... probably just the extreme familiarity..
)
Striker: find me a good pic of that mothership (i googled briefly and couldn't find one decent pic/blueprint of it) and i'll build it for you..P
Agree with disco the stairs should be steeper and steps themselves should be shorter in depth, but it looks pretty good!
)
So, this is what i waste my time on when i have other, more important pending projects to work on:
It's the G.I. JOE mobile missle system! It was done from memory and not meant to be an exact replica, and is missing many parts...

tetsuo: sounds neat. would be worth it to be able to move a group of brushes, whilst keeping the decals unbuggered alone...
Atom: tanks will check it out! = )

World Crafter: your entry looks SICK.. i've never seen so natural-looking brushwork for wires in HL before... (the rest looks pretty sweet too...)
)
Atom: what is the the "phlt_copy_brush entity"?? (i'm intrigued..)that worked potato THANKS! =)
i only tried:
+sv_cheats 1 -dev -windowed
tho the first you mentioned may have worked just as well..

) = ) = )
yeah that is probably a good solution (it never occurred to me to bind those commands), it's just annoying cuz previously, putting that stuff in launch options worked fine... thanks for the idea man..
)
I have a problem with my launch options not loading, and i have to manually type sv_cheats 1 and developer 1 in the console every single time, and then save/load to be able to noclip... Here are my launch options:
-sv_cheats 1, -dev, -windowed
what am i doing wrong? Anyone else having this problem?

dunno but we can jump on the server and try it if u want.. u have admin?
Not sure, but it wouldn't be hard to test it = )
yeah, i would never remember that much detail from a dream... wish i could...
(couldn't resist...)
(
oh yeah btw, tl:dr..(couldn't resist...)

hi i'm new to podcast 17. For those of you who listen, in your opinion, should i start from the beginning, or start with the last podcasst and work my way back, or pick and choose from the descriptions?
gosh i wish i would have started to listen sooner.. = (
If anyone possibly has a list of "favourites" archived/bookmarked, i'd really appreciate it!

those statements aren't really true anymore.
you can easily/cheaply(relatively)buy a gaming laptop nowadays. I'm not even talking about buying an alienware for 3000 quid or anything. i mean, you can buy a notebook with a decent gfx card, that will play every modern game on the market for less than 1000 quid, easy. Half that easily if you're willing to buy refurbs...
as far as mapping/modeling is concerned, i think almost any retail notebook would run the sdk and max fine, but whatev (i ran source sdk and max 9 on my old pentium 4 laptop and shit-balls gfx card with no trouble).

Try compiling with -cliptype simple command parameter to free up some more clipnodes ass well.

chea the editor screenies for goldsource look amazing.

Did you read/listen to the story Soup Miner? i would love to see what your vision of the Chalcedony war machine would look like..
Will probably update it one more time, recognizing i left many things out of the robot's design after hearing the short story again:
-Big floods
-Mesh reinforcement and bags of shells
-Second fine manipulator(not clear to me in from the story if there are 2 or 1, but i think 2 would look better anyway.
-Heat/battle damage to her carapace
-weapons pod

that looks great man! can't wait to actually play it.

Really wasn't that bad.
gratutitous use of the scale tool (alt-e)
+
pretty much making everything func_illusionary (else you get nasty visual errors)
+
Standard HL textures
i'll take a group of brushes and alternate them in seperate func_illusionaries, so one brush of one doesn't touch another. Like if i was building a bumblebee: all the black would be one func_illusionary, and all the yellow parts would be part of the second. if you made all the brushes func_illusionary individually, you'd run out of entites very soon.. =)
