Barrett M82A3 hasn't played HL

Unneccisarily long titles and credits are also just a pain. Seriously.

Photo i took today. Liked it.

wow lets post the 424kb JPEG.

You're such a mong, sometimes, cstriker.

easy enough to reskin out of Scientist clothes. You don't really need a whole new model

catching stuff out of the corner of your eye, but not being sure of doing so plays with your subconscious mind something awful.

FEAR would have done it perfectly if it wasn't for that bloody stupid voilin strike every time you see something in the shadows.

Excessive unexplained gore can work well, too. Just seeing someone slaughtered horribly isn't terribly scary, but if it's unexplained, or you just find the corpse/blood stains then it can mess with you.

:/

Just keep banging the rocks together, man.

oh.. HL1. drat.

damn you, Vista!!

i miss Hammer 3.5 so, so much :'<

well, i'm out.

(but without crashes and viruses, Internet Explorer and Outlook)

1. Crashes. hardware/driver conflictions generally. Not XP.

2. Viruses. Protect yourself better.

3. Internet Explorer. Windows doesn't force you to use their shite Browser. Upgrade to Opera

4. Outlook. Again, plenty of alternatives.

try to best me with helpful images, eh? EH?

well mine has a bing, so

do you have the TFC .fgd?

It would help significantly if we knew exactly which entities you're having trouble with, or at least what effect you're trying to achieve.

again, wrong editor.

Source doesn't use .wad files. They're HL1 only.

Source uses .vtf image format for the images themselves, and .vmt to store the information about the texture (whether it's reflective & what material it is etc)

No, he's trying to map for Source with Hammer 3.4/3.5 which is for the Goldsource(HL1) engine.

You need Hammer 4, my friend, available via the Source SDK, which is in turn available over Steam for the sweet price of ?0

I'm in.

Captain Terror, it's your idea, so you organise it, mate =]

I think it's important skill for mappers to have.

Anybody who disagrees with you there is not going to go very far in the mapping world.

D: that could provoke difficulties with our guest reviewers. Hope we can get it to work for everyone.
If not, you might only get 2 reviews.

edit:

assuming you win xD

best of luck, entries, and best of luck chickenmachine

flat-life = pwn.

Just one thing;
you mistook the word "prize" for "price" and unfortunately they can be interchanged in pretty much any sentance and still make sense, while changing the meaning of the sentance entirely.

If it wasn't for Vista, i'd enter

Therez

Sinner repent, srry!

Minimicus, while not being something spectacular to look at, did exactly what HL did, which was provide brilliantly functional and fun levels with an original concept.
Gonarch in a microwave, people.

we appreciate it if you put some effort in and try the little "find" box at the top of the site.

Santas Revenger here too

"and now an interview with the author of an unnamed mod which aims to recreate HL2 in the goldsource engine.
Firstly, what inspired you?"

STEAM SUKS MAI GOD

"i.. see... So, if you don't have HL2, how will you know what to map?"

U SUK MAI GOD

I recommend an ATI X1950 Pro over the alternative Nvidia 8800 series. Much cheaper for near to same performance.

i wouldn't even mind so much, but he seems completely unable to tell us what, if anything, he's ACTUALLY done in the way of producing this mod.

If you're spending all your time on it, you'd have something to show for it.

So I'm thinking some people should be appointed to get the best tips from this thread and make a downloadable .pdf of the content.
A package for people starting mapping, and people who want to improve their mapping.

you don't. Merely provide the outline of your tutorial. If your idea is accepted, you will hear from a moderator who will give you instructions on what to do next

bad idea to create this thread on TWHL.

prepare for at least 4 "lol vista"s

any "alpha" property?

5 mhz pc is shitty

em? that runs windows at all?

lultypo

Firstly, all of the points Penguinboy made were perfectly rational and non-provocative, so why you had to take a pre-pubescant hissy fit is beyond me.
Secondly, nobody has even hinted that steam is the best program in the world. We are simply pointing out that it's on-the-whole very good at what it was made for.
Thirdly, if steam crashes your machine then you've got a really shitty PC. Steam works just fine for all the other few million people who use it.
Fourth(ly?), You rather failed to explain how it doesn't run with utorrent, nor how it "screwed up" your dad's e-mail.

Your attitude stinks, and if you want an enjoyable, productive time at TWHL, I suggest you work to improve it.

Ant, if you delete this, you'll go on my sad face list.

Hunter, just for the lulz, I'm going to provide you with a link which should help you to see that I have, in fact, been right this whole time about Kasperg.

Your response was also particularly funny. Enjoy. ;>

The Hunter puts his hands on his ears

I'm not listening! I'm not listennnning! LALALALALALALA.


I hate you trapt, so much. Not because you do win the biggest asshole award, but because you're so regularly right too.
In fact, in my head i just compared you to my favourite TV character, House.

That sort of info should be on the stats page.

Edit:

The smilie ":ciggie:" should be black, to represent Samuel L. Jackson

Edit Edit:

The WIP mod was a joke :/

quite similar to last year's reaction from you, IEMC

No, if you have duplicate games, for example people who bought the orange box when they already had HL2 & Ep1, you can send the spare copy to a friend with a steam account.

I don't think you can just do it with games you don't play.

Further, if you could, these are "gifts."
There is no actual need for a 2-way transaction, and thusly someone could easily say "i'll take them," get you to send it as a gift then bugger off. And you could do nothing because not only should you know this, but there's probably a bit of writing somewhere in the TaC which states that such trades using the gift system are illegal.

lulz guys don't have a fit.
Hostage Situation is not dead.

And this, the only map in existance for this mod is so distressingly pre-beta that there wasn't really much point in showing you, but i know that WIP threads without media never really do too well.
Have faith.

The premise of this upcoming mod has been developed from a very early idea thought up by my good friend TunaDavid several months ago. The idea was fairly simple: To make a HL2 mod similar to Opposing Force wherin you play as Gordon's enemies.
Upon playing The Citizen, it became clear that the best option would be to play as a regular combine foot soldier and unlike the vast majority of single player mods, make the game mission-based rather than a linear following of a story.
That makes up the core plan.

Now for some details:
THE ORANGE BOX WILL BE REQUIRED TO PLAY

Overwatch will be a single player Half-Life 2 modification. Overwatch will follow the path of an innocent citizen - Alan Milligan - who gets combine surgery and becomes a Combine foot soldier.
Rather than the standard linear story following gameplay seen in most HL games, Overwatch will be mission based. The player will be able to choose which missions he undertakes, and completing missions will unlock harder ones.
The player will choose weapons from an armoury before going on missions, with more powerful weapons being made available as the game progresses.

There will be 3 stages of 4 missions with each individual mission being anything up to 4 maps long. Each stage will be designated a rank, but simply put, they are Easy, Medium and Hard.
After first recieving the combine surgery, the player will play a combine boot camp style training mission before being sent to the Easy stage mission select room. The player can choose any of the 4 missions in the easy stage, but must complete at least 3 to advance to the medium stage.
In between the stages there will be special missions which will be unavoidable and will drive the plot.

I don't really want to say any more for fear of spoiling, but if you have any questions about my thuroughly incoherent post, just write a reply and i'll get back to you.
