I much prefer instrumental music, but you can NOT say Daft Punk are bad.<3 Daft Punk

seriously. watch. I kid you not, it is the best thing you will EVER see

what about house

it's finished. :/

Top Gear & Spooks.

1992 posts. I want the next 8 to be "yes, kapitan Huntey."

HOSTAGE-SITUATION is. still. alive. and. breathing.

The only trouble is, as M_gargly pointed out, i don't have a bloody clue what the rest of the team, despite Daubeh, are doing with it.
Vista has indeed disabled my ability to map at the moment, but i am making up for it with texturing and writing music for it in the meantime.
The rest of you need to make a decision now.
Are you willing to see this mod to the end? (it's so close now guys, come ON)
Are you willing to give me AT MINIMUM weekly updates of progress. Even if that progress is nothing, i NEED to know what you're doing.
Are you willing to drop trou, and squeeze out a texas steamer onto the chest of every single person who claimed we wouldn't finish?

Please folks.. We're close. We can finish.

and if you're not, at least TELL me that you've given up so i can replace you.

Hostage-Situation will be complete. Me and Daubey swore to it a long time ago.

:/ despite the fact you could make something better in photoshop in roughly the same amount of time it takes to make one of those.

for future compiling, use THIS batch compiler. It is vastly superior to Nem's.

then read the thread.

HL2 textures: 0.25 texture scale.

TF2 textures: 0.13 texture scale.

SOHCAHTOA

1 set of lights named lights1 (or whatever) and another named lights2.

for one set, tick the flag "initially dark"

make a multimanager.
name it "lights_multi" (or whatever)
Tick the "multithreaded" flag
Turn smart edit off.

Click "add"

key: lights1
value: 2

key: lights2
value: 4

key: lights_multi
value: 4

Ghett0wned:oh lol google images.

nothing from these screenshots makes me think "ship"

When doing your overviews, (that's how you spell it, by the way) draw the outline of your ship and fit the rooms inside, so you don't have a rediculous layout.

indeed they are.

λunteh rocks out to Killswitch Engage - The Arms of Sorrow

Actually, in TF2 i believe the texture scale is around 0.13..

USMC = the school bully who ends up being a bin man.

French = lol? pastry!

SAS = TUP SEKRETZ!!1! But at least they don't shoot their own or lol at the enemy before torturing them and killing them.

TERRORISTZ = USMC seem to think that Iraq's population is entirely made up of these guys.

There's not a single Xbox game which doesn't have a better alternative on PC so dump the xbox and get your broadband.

im sick of being American, why cant we play as a German or Iraq soldier instead?

You play a Scottish guy, Soap MacTavish, part of the British SAS following a man named Price from England.

For the majority of the mission anyhoo..

In a couple you play as USMC's Paul Jackson

spoilers removed lol -mod

madcow is flawed.

go into source SDK's properties, and find the Launch Options button.

When prompted, type "-engine ep1" and hit ok. Your SDK will now be configured to map for pre-orange box games, providing you own them, of course.

Honour your Black Mesian heritage!

Tosse thinks HL is "one of the worst FPS games ever" :

cheers, y'all

Sorry, but i'm really quite chuffed at my review being published, so i'ma share it with you.

Pengy, i'm being serious. Completed on difficulty setting "hardened" in around 2 hours.

so yeah, i just completed the single player in, oh, around 2 hours. cost ~?40 and was completed in 2 hours.
That's less time than a HL Episode.

I mean, the multiplayer is fantastic, but geeze.

I have made a building with a house inside

i shudder to ask.

the textures, lighting and brushwork look like they belong in Deathmatch Classic. Really ugly.

Layout looks good though.

whitey -

a mix between Elwood Blues, Agent 47, Indiana Jones & Duke Nukem.

awesome xD

Glizard looks pretty darned great :>

we do? <:(

I just can't map with vista, so i've been looking around for a cheapo win2k machine to map on.

I thought the rest of the team were doing well?
God damnit i wish you'd keep me more updated ?_?

you didn't even cover the url :/

keep playing it and tell your friends. It's a good cause.

I got a vocab level of 46. Some of them are really tricky.

ok, i gave up reading the flames after Penguinboy's numeric list of points.

Why do people keep saying the following 2 things:

1) ITS IMPOZZIBLES 2 GET PAST DAT GUARD!
i just.. you know.. walked to the garage door when his back was turned.

2) NO CROWBHARX CANT GET PAST BREAKABLE GLASS "as I had nothing to break it with."
You know, those concrete blocks littered around the place look kinda heavy..

Seriously.. I understand that you've made valid points since, pengy, but your original "review" is bullshit and i had come to expect more from you.

The airboat sequence for me seems to have lasted longer than anyone else.. I drove over water, slime, through windows, through combine, past snipers.. Lots of laughs before having to finally say goodbye to the faithful machine, which personally i think should have been re-skinned.

Oh, and the section where the guy gets hit by the sniper (kasperg, there are definately at least 5 of those bastards and you have to find the wheel, it would have been bloody immense if it had been used as the basketball hoop. I was almost disappointed when i found it. =]

The voice acting was fine. The only character who i thought had kinda poopy voice acting was the leader of the rebel squad.. He was just emtionless. SPOILER i mean his good friend has just betrayed him and left him for dead and he just talks in the same dulset tone.

Anyhoo, while some things, namely talking to that girl at the start could have been more obvious, the people flaming should have tried a little harder before deciding it was shit.. I mean, the breakable glass is a perfect example. Obviously if the crowbar is BEHIND the glass you need something else to break it.

I'm truly dissappointed at the reaction to this mod some of you have taken, and I want Playbus and Kasperg to know that at least some of us liked it :>

the dialogue there is fantastic btw.. All gunna be mentioned in my review, but i had to point it out.
"Oh great.. now i'm gunna have to clear that mess up before the cops arrive" or something. I was grinning. There's a lot of moments like that.
G-man singing in the shower.. Or singing about G-man..

perhaps a glowing neon sign protruding from her forehead saying "follow me, i'm a stranger and Gregori is fucking annoying on repeat"

GET VOTING, PEOPLE

My vote goes to Block H

maybe you should make her gesture to you when you walk near her?

I got to the garage on the other side of the street without any combat if that's where you're talking about.

It took me a while, but I eventually cought on that she

i tried this with Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy which uses the Q3 engine. After much baldness gained from ripping out hair in exasporation, i ruled that it'd be easier to learn GTKRadient.. and it was.. and now i can map with another editor.. Worth learning.

If you need any help, PM me

Goldeneye 64, Dam level anyone? :>

I downloaded last night, and i have a class in an hour, but damnit, i'm going to play this instead of having a shower.

Oh, and I was going to give you Weebitmagic hostings like usual, Kasperg... But 12kbps upload at 1am kinda gets aggrivating, so I cancelled it.

If you do want weebitmagic hostings, ask and ye shall etc etc etc.

edit:
oh you son of a bitch.

THERE IS ALWAYS TIME FOR CEREAL

edit edit:

"of course, and so did the millions of people who played the game."

"riiiight"



2 easter eggs so far.. i wonder if i've missed any.

edit edit edit:

3 easter eggs now, although the third is hardly secret.

edit edit edit edit:

Well i've finished it, and i really hope it wins November's Map/Mod of the Month award, because i really want to video review it =]

SPOILERS BEYOND

The only bug notably worth mentioning was that you could ring the church bell repeatedly, resulting in unlimited reinforcements spawning who got stuck in each other, and there is nothing to stop you just running past the church.

With an ending like that, though.. Surely this unnamed citizen will return.

Truely epic from start to finish, and Argenia(sp?) has the best Geordy accent ever.

Also, you must tell me how you did the combine suit overlay. It's wonderful.

1) Just hover over your steam taskbar icon and it'll tell you what your transfer rate is.

2) www.winamp.com > WMP

3) how on earth were files missing?

i bet it is and you're just keeping it all to yourself, you evil man, satchmo.

you have to make the map from scratch

if you're going to release it.

If it's just to see how something was made, you need a decompiler.
Releasing maps created from other people's decompiled maps is stealing.

works fine for meee

Ladies and gentlemen of the Source mapping world
LOAD YOUR SOURCE SDK

Orange Box Mapping is here

Hunter's isn't Vista, it's a styled XP. Duh.

It's vista.

And i like Vista a lot. It doesn't deserve the bad press it recieves. The only thing i can't do on it is map using hammer 3.5.
There is a compatability wizard which fixes everything else. Hell, i've even been playing Worms 1 =D

Daubster, i hope you fixed the arches above those windows.

There was a web monkey named Alex
Who originally came up with the Dalecs.
A shame then, for him
when perhaps on a whim
he pulled a fucking andy and disappeared

My friend. He's a fucking tank xD
