It was'nt meant to be funny. Sorry to hear that, srry....
So you have a fuzzy voice?
Happy birthday, man. Don't get drunk and kill yourself in a crash, OK?
I used the front page to read the thread, I did'nt see it was for source from there, and I did'nt notice that it was in the source forums. I don't pay attention. 
I may consider using the hl1 deagle in my mod, provided I have your permission and it looks close enough to the one on the HD Otis model I'm using.

I've had pretty good luck making the sounds fairly acceptable when I put them down to 8-bit, perhaps my software (which my parents got for my brithday a year back), being comercial, can do it. Send me a link if you want me to try.
EDIT: The last Charlie lines have been implemented, and I'm glad to say they include an in-joke.
when I convert them to 8 bit mono they sound like absolute --Yeah... The quality really goes downhill when you do that, unless they're recorded in 8-bit.
I notice everyone else is putting in a bunch of radio-like voice effects and stuffYeah, but so far I don't need it. Besides, I have software that can add those.
What with Jeff's bottomless pit of a bank account, I'm sure he can just toss a cool ten thousand into hiring out a studio for his personal hobbies and all.I'm all but certain you're being sarcastic, but still...

No. Hint brushes tell the game where to make visleafs. You need two hint brushes to have an area not rendered. Another tutorial, with more pictures:

Do whatever is more comfortable for you. At school I'll sometimes scribble floor plans, but I always make the map a lot different from the plan, usually for the better. If having a plan already out helps you map, go for it!
Good.
I recomend working on the maps. Maps are the lifeblood of any mod, because if done properly, they entwine all the features into the package. Plus, It's a good skill to have; http://www.twhl.co.za/journals.php?id=5609
Do you call University college over there?You can go to college for a lot of jobs, but some jobs you have to train for at a university.
Sounds like a good idea. One thing: If the team is deticated enough, they WILL work for free. (see Black Mesa) You may not be able to find coders, but If you don't don't worry. You don't NEED any weapons or NPCs, unless they are vital to the story.
Well, good. Even if I did'nt make my point, I made you laugh. Now you have a 3 day life extentsion.
1. It looks ugly and nothing like Op4's.
2. I can do that.
3. No model software besides an expired milkshape that I uninstalled
4. Use in mod.
5. mod is non-profit; selling it would be illegal because of the other content I have.

Just make it look professional. Use more than one clip, and decent transitions between them. None of this clip-instant black-instant clip crap.

Aww... I has hoping it was for HL1, I've been looking for one to match Otis in my mod. Looks cool though.
Things for you to remember:
1. You are UNBREAKABLE!
2. What does'nt kill you only makes you stronger
3. Always look on the bright side of life
4. This too shall pass.

I'd use models if they were small enough to fit in my maps, But I usually need small, office sized shrubs.
They come with DoD an SoHL 15a4, I can't think of any downloads for just the dll's at the moment... HW.dll and SW.dll Is what they are called. try to find them on google, I guess.
Well... I had them HL screenshot sized, but they filled up the page a bit too much, so I resized them. I may add 1 or 2 hundred pixels to them later, but right now I think I kinda spammed the recent changes page with all my errors... 
When it comes to wiki stuff, I'm still kinda n00bish...

I decided to make a tread that will track the mod's progress. Any questions, suggestions, or comments can be made here.

There is. I won't spoil it for you, but If you want to know the basic plot, check out the article in the VDC.

Good to see you're OK and not vegitableized. Our free healthcare is great, isn't it?
Oh. Now I understand. But to make your room playable, it'll have to be it's own map and you'll have to teleport in and out.
I was just thinking that as I logged in Change your password ATDestroy!

I'll try to get them first thing in the morning. (about 13 hours from now)
Thank you for your time/effort.

I'll be hitting 1000 solids soon and the main detail stuff's only ~60% done.Jeez. way to add unnessisary details, Daubster. Now I feel like my mod project is plain, and I think I've added more detail than a lot of valve maps.
Odd...
I was thinking of adding a trigger_camera to the beginning to each room that would show a picture/avatar of the author and maybe show a description or what not, maybe audio? I dunno it would add a little more dimension to it?Yeah, I'm all for that. a little box textured with black and a single face with the author's avatar, and a text message saying 'Created by _____' The pic needs to be a texlite, though.
zeeba-G : Looks nice.
I hope so, TJB, I hope so.
If you're not busy... I realized I needed him to yell at the player when they break the cover in the commander's room, and then call out instructions when they fell AFTER I sent you the PM.
Hey, you want to make it less boring, raver, just make a room with gameplay. I added a bit to mine.
9 rooms... Source, you have been warned.
I see. You must have been hungry afterwards.
You did'nt have time/money to go shopping, or just did'nt have a car to get to the store in?
Rimrook, I expect that the skybox will change. Or he's making it a lake surrounded by cliffs.
HLDM has a different ent set, and it's not usually team based, so, yes, a bit different.
Somehow I don't think he'll be able to spend the money he saves by doing that...
It's okay, we all have times we forget, especially when our computers are broken or virus-ridden. You can finish them anytime between now and thursday, because I have a week off. It's no problem, just reminding you.
Source files for the predisaster maps:(http://www.twhl.co.za/vault.php?map=5237)
In other news, Gman has been cast as Charlie! I have to say, nice work on those lines.
And no pressure, Urbanebula, but it's been a while, and I'm only missing your peices for the disaster map.

Nice. I wish I could map like you. 
It probably will be released with HL3, judging by Valve's tendency for a new engine every HL game.
Gee, thanks Urbanebula. Now I REALLY want garry's mod. When I get to university, and a Highspeed connection, I will gun you down. (In Garry's mod.)
...Except to get to 10 rooms before the source version.
I was asumming that no one else wanted to play with him.
How CAN you play pirate fights without him? Do you spawn NPC's?
Did you two toss ragdolls at eachother too?
My first game was Super Mario World, the second was either Super Metroid (probably) of one of the other SNES games. I was 3 when I played my first video game, so I don't really remember it that well.
I apologize to whoever I sent the Medic lines to. I could have sworn It was tetsu0. And glad to hear it, Urby.
New lines for anyone trying out for Charlie:
Oscar, don't break that!
Oscar? OSCAR! Are you okay down there? There's a duct cover in there. Try to open it somehow. I'll get James to let that deck know you're down there.

hmmm... So all the players on a team are the same model? I think that may have to be server based, or you need to make a cs mod.
