Manchester United - 0

I'm personally going for aim_riverbank.

I'm not too sure why, but it has a lot of charm.

yeah dotdotdot i can really see how decompiling a map dotdotdot is time well-spent dotdotdot.

and just clarify one thing for me dotdotdot Are you an active member of fpsbanana?

This ends my inclusion in this thread

how goes progress on FY_~AIMZDUTSKILLBXOLOLOL20071337!1, Cstriker?

well dotdotdot all i can say is dont dotdotdot decompile dotdotdot because its stealing other people's content dotdotdot and is looked dotdotdot down upon by everyone in the mapping dotdotdot community except fpsbanana, who fully support theft of other people's dotdotdot work.

try an original dotdotdot idea.

No, it's not. Half-Life is a title.

They've already stated over Steam news that it'll be the update for Orange Box mapping.

well that worked. :/

still no SDK.

spending that many "dooolllaaarrrsss"

No need to be snidey. I assumed you weren't British, American or Australian due to your lacking ability to type in understandable English.

holy shit, trapt. You've really outdone yourself.

Doodle's looks really interesting too, and Tetsu0 is doing something different with the HL engine, which is important. It's very close from the screenies.

a little over 1000 to possibly spend

1000 walnuts? gg on currency there.

Source mapping is very similar to HL1 mapping, and some of your questions are downright rediculous.

Are all of the textures better and clear

Your current PC might not run the game, but it could run screenshots, right?

and the prefabs you mention are models.

on cartoon network

oh lawd. xD

Anime is generally shit. Akira was a decent film for several reasons, but honestly guys.. there is so much better entertainment to be found from real people.

there's an SDK update due on the 31st October, and
Valve keep saying that the Orange Box SDK will be released "soon," so i'm betting that that is what the update on the 31st will be.

3. While the maps look decent, the screenshots were taken without anti-aliasing enabled. Even if it makes you lag in-game, media shots should be of highest quality, and lag is not important when taking still-shots.

Spike, what are you actually doing at TWHL? i've never seen you make a single post or shout without a youtube link in it.

a mate of mine is going to our annual halloween party as a tea towel =]

he's actually sewed together a full set of clothes (boxer-shorts, trousers, shirt, hat) out of tea towels. Dedication.

I am, for the third year running, going as Jake Blues from the blues brothers. I'm too lazy to be anything else.

foiled by your own capital B, Rimmeh =]

The Pure Pwnage spin off show. It's in early stages, but it's pretty fucking funny at times =]

he looks much more like a Bullsquid to me.

Blitzkrieg, you failed at interpreting what he meant in the Halo review, which was that people say the shitty single player can be excused by the multiplayer, but in that case he didn't care for the multiplayer.

TF2 is only multiplayer and as such he can compliment it to his heart's desire because that is what it was made to be.
Halo tried to do both and failed miserably. TF2 stuck to what it was brilliant as and scored top marks.

Valve should drop the whole BSP format

You do realise they kept it specifically for us modders?

Clearly Spike reads questions thuroughly.

what you could do is use sprites to create a cloud which it travels through, then trigger it to "kill" once it's out of the player's sight.

Or do you mean the player will be in this rocket, and you want them to end up in space?

Tetsuo, just in case you encounter further problems, i found that my default filtering mode caused some slow-down in the wide-open areas. I don't even know what it does, but i saw no difference graphically, but a big difference of performance after changing it to trilinear.

you use a trigger_once for that.

The trigger is activated when the player touches the trigger brush.

func_buttons are activated when E is pressed.

/me facepalms.

Muzz, immature, but made me lol ^_^

that is possibly the worst crop i have ever seen.

I am newb.

fix'd.

Nice failbump, there.

the tribute to HL1's rocket launch was good, too

The ending of ep2 fucked me up..

i mean.. duude. cries

just my personal opinion, but i think the buttons with the coloured text look really ugly with the new theme.

Still a pwn program :>

One thing i can't figure out about portal mapping:

Some surfaces are protal-proof. What defines these surfaces? Surely you don't want to tie your walls to a func_non_portalable.

no. You can have animated textures with up to 10 frames using the following method

? Create all 10 frames and import them into Wally like normal
? Rename the first frame to +0yourtexturename
? second frame to +1yourtexturename
? third to +2yourtexturename

etc etc up to +9

If you want to make an animated button (like the frame will only change when it is pressed) you do something very similar.

? The button's off state texture is: +0yourbuttontexture
? The button's on state texture is: +Ayourbuttontexture

---

Note:
The frames in an animation all have to have the exact same name, except for the number at the start.

:> i couldn't wait and bought the orange bo 3 days ago.

TF2 is the best multiplayer game i've ever played.

i played worms 2 with my dad and sister too =]

small world

head in hands

it's a fucking 4 letter word.

hmmm.
I'm gunna say C.

Make sure they grab some any armour that's to hand too, including stripping the dead rebels.

other favourites like Sonic, Streets of Rage and the ever popular Road Rash series.

good of you to read other people's posts.

Arcan wins the most pointless images award, followed closely by muzz. I'm disappointed.

ah man, DK2 is superb. I have it on a magneto optical disk somewhere ^_^.

Evil Genius is great too, but it doesn't quite have the magic of DK2.

Unfortunately, Bullfrog, the creators of DK2 and other superb games like Theme Hospital got bought out by EA, so there's really no chance of DK3 ever being finished, despite it being started.

nice textures. your own?

I've always been more a PC gamer than anything else.

My first experience of a PC game was when i was 2. I have no memory of this of course, but there is a home video of me sitting on my dad's lap "playing" elite on my dad's old BBC Computer. Talk about a game to start out on, eh? (if you haven't played elite.. play it. now.)

The first game i remember playing was the original formula 1 game. I can't remember which PC it was on, but i would guess a Windows 3.1.
Naturally with a name like that, i can't find a picture, but it was beautiful in all its pretend 3D glory.

After that i got a SNES. Wow, how i loved that console.
Starting out on a Donkey Kong game (couldn't tell you which), i quickly found love for this great console. Mario, paperboy, beavis & butthead, super mariokart, super metroid, and of course Micro Machines 2. I have so many memories of playing Micro Machines 2 with my dad. Superb game.
When i grew a little older i got Street Fighter 2 Turbo, and that really got me set on violence

While i was still very much in love with my SNES, i got a Sega Megadrive(Genesis, for you americans) from the family next door, who's oldest son had gone to uni and didn't take it with him. It was kind of an extended loan. Mortal Kombat II was my highlight on that console, but there were also other favourites like Sonic, Streets of Rage and the ever popular Road Rash series.

So i would play nothing but those 2 consoles for a very long time.. Until the Playstation 1 became more "affordable" and i finally got my hands on one. Wow. What amazing games. Of course, i learn now that they're all Nintendo titles, but heey
Highlights on the Ps1 for me:
WWF Smackdown. I used to love wrestling (don't hate me. every kid here did) and the games even more. They were great fun.
Metal Gear Solid 1, my favourite game ever released for any Playstation, this game had it all. Killer graphics, amazing story & atmosphere, great voice acting, and immensely fun and difficult gameplay. The sequels were shockingly bad and killed my faith in Konami.
Later bought for the PC.
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 was my addiction for a very long time. Create tracks, play on tracks, create tracks, play on tracks. It took a good 5 months to get bored of that

During all the console time, i'd like to point out that i still loved PCs more than anything.
During the SNES era, i was playing Worms 1 with my Dad (Boggy B vs The Dingbats) which was absolutely superb fun. I've bought every Worms game since, up until the shite 3D versions.
During the Megadrive era, i would be playing, and being terrified of, DOOM, a game which my parents eventually decided to stop letting me play. I was 9 or so.
Unfortunately i missed out on the Wolfenstein 3D, Descent and Quake moments due to this, and have only quite recently gone back and played them all.
To replace DOOM, i got heavily into a demo of a game off of one of my dad's PC mags called Anno 1602 and from there birthed my love for the RTS genre. Moving swiftly on to Age of Empires, i quickly realised that this was a type of game i very much enjoyed, perhaps largely due to the map editors. Remember that.

SO

The year is 2001. I am 10 years old. I'm going to my Uncles house in Worthing, England for a week long break. He shows me this PC game he's been playing. It looks phenominal. I've never seen something look quite as fun or as pretty. Running at 800 x 600 software mode, i was watching Half-Life for the first time in my life. It was my first experience of WASD, my first experience of MouseLook. It was my first experience of true brilliance. Needless to say, while my family went out to see the wonders of England, (lol) I stayed in my uncle's house playing Half-Life. For the whole week. I was hooked. My birthday that year i wanted but one thing, and all too soon i had the Half-Life: Generation pack.
In 2003, my uncle's birthday was rapidly approaching, and i wanted something special to get him. A Half-Life map seemed appropriate to a boy with no money, so that is exactly what i did. Lol at me expecting an editor similar to the Age Of Empires map editors i had grown to love. Oh dear. What's this 3rd dimension shit? And that's how it started.

Soon after i got my sister's old N64, and discovered The Ocarina of Time and of course Goldeneye 64. The only FPS game worth playing on a console.

But really nothing would ever be as good as Half-Life was for me.
Half-Life 2 was immense fun, and so beautiful, and i think it continued the Half-Life name really well, but it would never affect me quite as much as HL1 did.
Over in the RTS genre, Dawn Of War occupied my time for a long while, until it was replaced by Company of Heroes.

Back in the Half-Life days, i should note that the Generation pack included Counter-Strike, but it wasn't until Steam that i even realised wtf it was all about.
My first online play experience was with the game Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, which i must say was EPIC. The sequel was absolute bollocks, though :P.

Double posting is bad, triple posting is worse.

You need to give people time to respond. Also, i'm guessing that English isn't your first language, because to be blunt, i have no idea what you're talking about..

considering the thread title, i don't think we should be limited to haikus, which frankly are a bit.. well.

I myself am a fan of lymerics or however you spell it.

that was fun =]

things to point out:
? Standing directly in the first blue ring did NOT make the scientist talk to me. i had to go a little bit beyond it before pressing E.

? Presumably due to us using different resolutions, the scientist's text was out of position, and not on the "card" or "communicator screen" or whatever it is

He uses IE. nuff said
