I can't install the 7.11 driver !!! It says I don't have the required hardware . Ok . Hey , who made this driver ? Fuck you !
[Edit] I am desperate . If anyone knows how to make it possible to run opengl , I love you .
Forum posts
ok 
help ? 
Yes , ok . I can currently run Colin Mcrae Dirt Demo with max details at a resolution of 1024x"Idon't know" with 30-40 fps . After installing 7.11 , will it be worse ?
At least , can somebody tell me the last version of ati catalyst ?
But I don't see a driver for my video card there !!!
Well I think the driver IS older than my card .
I heard that Ati catalyst 7.11 version is the most stable , but my fear is that it will downgrade some of the video card abbilties and performance .
Well that's easy to say , but I don't have so much time for all those drivers . I've installed the driver that came on the CD in that package .
Hi all ! I just bought a new video card : Ati Radeon HD 4850 . My problem , is , sure .... a hammer editor problem . Yes I can select everything in the 3D view and I can use all the tools without problems . But it has a low framerate !!!! Does anybody know how to solve this problem ? ( I think it's a driver options problem , the settings with mipmapping , antialiasing bla bla bla ) .
Any help will be really appreciated . ( I think this happens because in hammer you can't set the video quality ... I guess ...)
Oh , and another thing : I can't run any half-life 1 game in OpenGL mode !!!!

wait wait wait , if the Robot can be animated , it's clearly that source mappers can make more advanced robots . ( and even AI controled robots , I don't know if this is possible in hammer , but in Garry's MOd is possible ..... but ummmm .... I think this is an entity challenge 
) .
Anyway ... robot ? Too classic .
) .Anyway ... robot ? Too classic .
if you actually read what we just said you'd know that it wasn't. whatever, it's not our money you're spending.Then what the fuck I'm supposed to do cuz I'm not super-intelligent . Initially i just wanted to buy a new Nvidia but then lots of people told me Hd4850 is much better bla bla bla . Can somebody tell me a good Nvidia that costs about 240 $ ? ( that is 600 lei in out country)
I'm a Firefox fan too and I know Firefox is the best ( for me , at least ) , but to be honest , Safari is faster .
Whatever . 4850 is a best-buy 
Why they are better ? because of the name ? I love Nvidia too but Ati offers better quality at a lower price right now
Ohhhh nooooooo and I was going to buy an Ati radeon Hd 4850 sometime nextweek !!!!!!!! ( I currently have an old Nvidia car 7600 GS , but Nvidia sucks at prices . Ati beats Nvidia here )
Ohhhh .... can somebody tell me what is the last ati driver that appeared ? I know 7.1 works with hammer but uh .... just for me to make an idea about this downgrade ( how much I downgrade from the current driver )

Ok here are some of my other ideas :
6. Use models to give your map a more detailed feel ! Models can substitute world brushes . Just make some clip brushes over them to be "solid" . Example : some skeletons and big momma gibs in a scarry place would be fun and could also alert you about something that is going to happen soon .
There are animated models . For example : the "breather.mdl" model looks like a pump machine . Why not use it ? If you even want to make it feel "solid" you can add some transparent func_trains to it !
7. For many people "detail" means putting tens of crates in a map . Putting crates isn't a bad idea , I do this too , but I try to find ways of detailing with other objects . The problem is that putting crates is overused sometimes ( especially in counter-strike) . What the heck ? In the real world i don't see only crates as blocking objects . A rock can block my way , a pile of wood can block my way, some damaged cars can block my way etc ...... ( damaged cars are hard to reproduce from world brushes . Here's where the models save us from a lot of hassle : a model car and some clip brushes and you're done)
8. IF you're making a relatively small or medium map , you shouldn't worry about placing lots of entities . You make a house . You make some rooms . You make lights . Why not put some switches ?
9. More to come ....

Magix Music Maker is my response . The commercial one ( there are 2 versions) has lots of synthetisors.
I was thinking of an editor, that uses samplesYep , Magix music maker is mostly based on sound loops .
lol

I emailed a person who shut down it's site ( can't talk about it here) and I got a reply after 2 weeks .
But it's hard to find the tutorial pages with the wayback machine :/ .... anyway , this is a great idea , on verc were a lot of misc tutorials , very useful tutorials .
whatever
[EDIT -Next day] wow , I set the speed of the train at 280 . You already saw the track and the tunnel in the screenshots . well , the time taken to travel through all that tunnel , at 280 u\s ( units per second , I believe that's the speed in hl ...
) is 1 minute 28 sec . That's enough ( the tunnel is empty yet ) considering that it will be full with monsters . Or something else .
[EDIT - again ] Observe the similarity between the speed and the time 
. I calculated the time using my cellphone .

] Observe the similarity between the speed and the time . I calculated the time using my cellphone .lol try it you'll be able to make complicated paths in seconds .
Lol do you how much work I have with the path_tracks ? I used the path tool in the previous map and it didn't have any errors .
Hi ! I;m working on my sven coop campaign , and as I expected , I'm experiencing some problems . one of these problems would be the path tool . I have to use it because I'm building long tunnels , with a lot of curves , and I can't use the path_track entity .
My problem is more of a question : Can I render the points appearing when creating paths with the path tool in the 3D view ? I'm going to explain why I need such a thing .
I built tunnels in the first level , too , but they weren't elevated . Now they are , in the second map . And the tunnel is very symmetrical that the path points lap each other and I can't distinguish between them .
A screenshot will tell you all :
EDIT "Simplified " version :
I must somehow make the path of the train with the path tool . It's too hard to make one by one path_tracks .

Should I make a sentry ? lol
Sorry I don't have time to ( I'm really sorry if I;m disappointing somebody from here ) . I'm working on my sven coop campaign ( half-finished, I'm at the half of the second map).

Rimrook .... that wallpaper is awesome 
Where can you get that kind of awesome wallpapers ?
oh , can you post it on the forum please ? I really like it . I like space theme wallpapers .
Anyway , here's mine ( I prefer simple , dark wallpapers because they're more restful for my eyes ) :

That looks special. Does it use spirit ? When it will be released ?
I hopefully know that .... oh ..... to be on topic , I hate the new search function too .
LOL , you criticized me for typing BBC code instead of BB Code . lol , funny people ....
I love you to .
BBC code doesn't exist ? ok ....
I suppose you never tried posting using the bbc code nor did you read my post saying "works" not "looks".

Me too, and I miss the "new maps" thing on the first page . Also , you could improve the BBC code's acting . It works like shit and it's always placed at the end of the post.
use "any video converter" DOWNLOAD
the "new maps in vault" thing has disappeared ? If yes , then put it back !
Oh , and something I don't like are the BBC codes . They're shit and work like hell . Inspire yourself from the php forums . Ex : select an image link and then press the "img" bbc button . But no , instead of this , it places the code at the end of my post .

oh , the screenshot thread , thanks , I thought it disappeared . You can delete this thread if you want .
Don't use the "fail" word anymore . You're failing using the word "fail".

Well , I know there is already a thread , but it's with images from real life . (i would post there too , but I don't have a camera yet , just a fucking mobile phone )
So let me start it .
I made this screenshot in sven coop . I almost wet myself of laughing .... it's so ridiculous ..... the poor guy lost his internet connection . The other 2 in the screen are just bots .
This isn't my idea . I found on google an image like this . But it was with windows 98 , so I modified it in photoshop .

Hey interesting thread , if you'll put images why not a download link , too ?
I'll have to learn some tutorials and I'll make some models , too . Or .... edit and retexture some models at first

Ok ... I'll get one . At least , I can buy other games via steam that way ..... especially garry's mod , I think it has a lot of updates through steam , and also the car from Ep2 .
