Very creepy...
Woah... Kind of reminded me of the water effects in Half-Life! 
HAHA! It's not that hard to do, if you know how...
But does it still stick to the 32 units-per-floor rule? Otherwise, I don't think you'd be able to enter it...
Software mode means that you aren't running in OpenGL or Direct3D.
By the way, how does ZHLT not work?

1500 FTW.
Hmmm... It's just so damn... Bland.
There's little chance I could finish the city by the time the compo is over, as I have about 1/10 of it complete. I don't even have a clear grasp of what I want it to look like, and I'm not compelled to continue working on it.
Sorry, but this is just one of those things I lost interest in rather quickly.

What the hell, why hasn't anybody implemented this in anything yet? Maybe they're all being payed by Creative to not use it...
Gah! Off-topic stuff is taking over, and this thread has turned to crap! I really need an admin to close this, it's just turning into a spam thread... Unless that's what we need.
That's actually quite interesting, and I never even payed any attention to this thread.
I'm not even entering anymore, for two reasons.
Reason 1: WCD will whoop all our asses.
Reason 2: I hate everything about my current city.
I hope I'll like the other minicompos better.

Okay, new topic: Your least favorite game of all time!
For me, I'm not really sure what it is, because I normally only buy games that get fairly high reviews. I might guess that mine is Stuntman. That's the most frustrating game I've ever played in my life.

Or maybe every page or so.
I knew that hunk of steel would come in handy one day...
It's just supposed to be a spamless ShoutBOX-type thread where you stay on the same topic for a while.

I used to take some Tae Kwon Do classes, but I can't really remember anything from it... I was only 8 at the time.
I'm really not sure about this whole "cats are smarter" thing. Seriously, how can anybody prove something like that?
Many dogs wouldn't be inclined to attack an intruder like that, it's just that people perceive them as dangerous.
Anyway, most people don't get pets to be useful, they're just there for the company.

Cats suck.No. You're wrong. I'm right. The end.
It's really all about your preferences. I don't personally like some animal jumping and yelping around me all the time, begging for attention (not to say all or most dogs do that). I don't see many dogs doing that much on their own, either. They seem kind of static, like they're just waiting around until you call them. This could be fine though, if you don't want them doing that kind of thing.
Besides , I just like a meow better than a bark.
Kind of hard to tell that, really.
Although cats do seem more independant than dogs. You don't see them following their owner around everywhere, and you see them kill their own food a lot, too.

Okay, cats are way better than dogs. Discuss.
Hmmm... I didn't even think of that.
However, there's more of a chance that stuff will stay on topic longer than in the ShoutBOX.

As Worldcraft Dude said in the ShoutBOX:
Try to keep it as un-spammish as possible, though.
There are no interesting active threadsSo here it is, the interesting thread. Talk about whatever comes to mind, from your cat sleeping in front of your monitor, to your least favorite game, and maybe even what you had for breakfast.

Great, so I have to download another mod just to look at a single map?
Screenies, plz!

HL2DM... Notice the "2" in there. It is for source. 
I'm not sure if there's any hope of me finishing on time. All I have done so far is this cruddy little area with blocky buildings used to test my textures out in.

On top of that, I'm even starting to lose my inspiration already.

True, very true. And if you wanted to see it closer, you'd be noclipping anyway.
Would it be okay if, instead of allowing the player to move through the map freely, I just used a camera sequence? I don't know if I'll actually end up doing this, I was just wondering, since it could be pretty cramped.
There's a floor areas size restriction? The rules page just says 32 units per floor, but nothing about overall size restriction, did it?
I was planning on doing some kind of futuristic city that was built way up into the sky, above a layer of toxic-looking clouds, but kind ditched that when I heard that the intention of the buildings was supposed to be clear.
Now I'm just going for a "normal" city, as it seems everybody else is.

I haven't even started yet!
Just edit your posts please, instead of making new ones. Kthnxbai.
Sued? Why would he be sued? They aren't that mean are they?
A week is a bit long, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't finish this in 2 days.
Edit: Err... A week it is, then!

Hey, I'll probably work fine with whatever the rules end up being.
And when I say "normal" I mean "of this world" or "of this time".

Well, I'm absolutely fine with the scale restriction, as long as it's not too small. I just don't want to have to be able to connect them all at the end. otherwise, it's fine.
By the way, is there going to be any restriction that limits you to making a "normal" city?

I actually had some... Quite different ideas for my city. Something that would never be able to connect.
JimmiOr not.
Ugly? Did you even look at the other screenshots? It just looks to me like the detail brushwork hasn't been put in yet.
What if it was just an option, so those that don't want to comply don't have to? I hardly see how it would matter any if you did that.
But me no wants a big map of various pieces! Me wants my own big awesome map!
I really don't like the preset scale/connectivity thing at all. What if you wanted to have different terrain heights, or a different theme than another person? I personally think it's just too restrictive.
I'd be fine with having only a certain amount of space (like 512x512 block) to build in, though.

From the MiniCompos thread:
Okay, so can I begin? Because the source compo seems like alot of work.Jimmi, you contradict yourself quite a bit. :
Hold up there, Jimmi! Let's not get ahead of ourselves, now! You might start to make something, then realize it's not in compliance with the rules, whatever they are...
And also, I would vote against using Spirit, it would possibly give people that use it an unfair advantage. Besides, why bother using a 3D skybox, when you could just build that stuff on a normal scale? It's not like anybody said there's a polygon limit!

I don't think that would matter anyway, in a compo like this.

SO WHEN IS IT GOING TO START?!?!?! AAAAAHHHHH!!!
Faster! I'm getting giddy!
