Make a brushed based tree. Could be dead, alive, whatever.
You have 9 days.
Must have Playable BSP and RMF in zip format.
Needs not be in the vault. External host is preferred
Unless you submit as a pre-fab.
Custom textures must be wad-included.
We all know steel and rust doesnt grow on trees.
Nor are trees pressure treated lumber (damn hl.wad)
Ready..... GO!
Deadline : May 8th. Or whenever we have more than 2 entries.

i'd request to apply
but im stuck in goldsource mode ATM and my computer is shit
Congrats tito!
Nice lookin kids you got there.

Thanks again for the extension PB!

what if you have light_spots instead of light_enviroments. Set them to emit from the sky and i believe they can be toggled on and off.
you can throw in an env_fade effect to mask the light change and give it a sweeter effect.
as for the rain.....
try a scrolling dot texture on a grid of func_illusionarys
with an env_render telling them to render when triggered.
That could work ?
Just add some sound in there:-p
wait
this is source (just noticed)
idk if that'll work >.<

this is for realistic terrain im guessing.
you want to select all the triangles (wedges, really) and then using vertex manipulation, drag a square around a few pieces and pull in the Z direction (up) to raise and lower the parts of the triangles.

I try to get package deals on games and such. I just bought Mario Galaxy packaged with Pirates of the Caribbean for only $50

what's that look when compiled?
After im done with my current compo, i'm moving on to source for good i think.
So i'll start doing some mapping and experimenting!
And if need be, i'll throw in a tut idea

google " tommy14 "
use his search to find your error
read up on the solutions
and fix them
it'll solve your headaches faster than you can create them.
And any other questions you have, toss a question into the HL mapping section, or use the search in the top left.
""Search for: __ in Tutorials / Maps / Forums etc etc ""
You'll be surprised how many people come up with the same error.

YAY caek! Anyway rim, the navenger does look a lot better. Although i still thought the old one looked pretty damn good as well.
Still no update to the 6-D part of Maprookie though?

The only problem would be finding a way to constantly draw unused energy from the infinity of space.They tried that on stargate once. It didn't work.
magnetic rail system. The same stuff used on roller-coasters, but on a larger scale. We can just wait until we have a clear shot at the sun, and Boom...
Plus we'll extend the lifetime of our sun by about oh... 3 seconds overall.

You're still talking about solar power efficiency? Hell, I just meant it as an example, not speaking practically.I just splurged about my passion.
It comes with being an Electrical / Mechanical Engineer.
Yeah. But i didn't mean to "One Up" You i was merely informing that 40% existed. I'm not an asshole on purpose.
You DO mean me, correct? 
Didn't mean to shoot you down or anything, but I'm just saying that there are relatively high efficiency solar energy cells out there. Anyway.. Google...
<3 Google.

Well that's the major problem. And i knew i was gonna catch flak for saying stuff like that.
http://www1.eere.energy.gov/solar/printable_versions/current_voltage.html
Explains which factors affect the efficiency
And this graph:
shows the cell efficiency.
And by top secret, i basically meant.. research stuff. PV cells (The more scientific name) are achieving higher efficiencies penguin.
So all those purple things on that graph can be explained here.
Don't think i didn't do my research.

We have seen steady progress in photovoltaic concentrator technology. We are working with advanced multijunction PV cells that are approaching 38% efficiency, and even higher is possible over time. Our goal is to install PV concentrator systems at $3 per watt, which can happen soon at production rates of 10 megawatts per year. Once that happens, higher volumes are readily achieved," Hayden, Solar Program Coordinator at APS, said.Of course.. those aren't "cells" They're units that track the sun, and convert it into energy better than cells themselves.
Penguinboy, your stat is accurate for panels easy to buy. Not the top secret stuff.
Anyway.
Hybrid cars are stupid both visually and economically.

Yeah. But even the best solar panels are only 40% efficient. And I'm talking the best here. Most fall in the 20%-30% efficiency range, and the energy savings just don't cover the power made to build them sometimes.
But i do like solar panels

Thanks Penguin!
I say we just invent a way to harness heat-energy. That way we can just use roofing tiles in the midday sun to generate heat, and then power some.. stuff.... Either that or put a windmill generator on everyones roof.
high fives luke
haha. no worries
/raises hand
Ditto
Mmm that is a sweet ride
Then you want models. Or Props. Make a point entity and call it a prop_static. This is the basic static proop it just sits there and does nothing. Under model, hit browse and you can search for which model you want. Hit apply, and viola! You should have a prop in your map

Here's all the sonic screen-shots I took last night if anyone cares. http://tetsu0.themightyatom.nl/screenshots/brawl/
I always recorded via direct line in out from my amp into Audacity.
It has a terrible overdub system. It's either that or my sound-card blows.

Why did nobody start this?
I guess i will
Since i'm overly obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog, and hedgehogs in general (ever since my early childhood), and because i finally found out how to get SSBB screenies to my computer, here's my desktop of late march.

Did you try a cordon compile?

Take a look at this tutorial to see what its all about: Leafs, what are they? Im doing the same.that tutorial is b0rked. I tried to email the dude but i guess his email doesnt exist anymore.. here's what i was GOING to say to him

Adaware and Spybot Search and Destroy haven't failed me yet. I don't even have norton or Macafee and i have zero viruses and only like 1 or 2 minor spyware things a month.
Plus Spybot has that thing where it asks permission to make any changes to your registry. REALLY handy because it gives you all the information you need to make an educated decision.
I'd say, roll back your comp a month or 2 (using system restore, you do have it right??) , get Adaware, Spybot, scan, scan, reboot, scan again. And pray it works, and Have a wonderful easter.
And i do believe there's a limited registry cleaner (i think it's called registry mechanic?) to get rid of any left over traces..
