Meet Tam. He enjoys kicking babies.

yeah.. details needed.

You didn't ention ANYTHING about the actual mod, just that you have a team.

Actually, the order I got my games in were:

CS 1.6
CS:S
HL2
HL

fail.

HL2
CS:S
HL
CS 1.6

fail.

My order was HL, CS 1.6, TFC, Opfor, Blueshift, DoD (all together, thanks dad) then HL2, then CS:S.

win.

I played CS before i even knew it was the same engine as half life.

:

yeah, but if anybody downloads the map with the textures looking for that location, it wont work unless it's exactly the same, which it wont be.

No.. it shouldn't.

it should be materials/yourfolder/yourtexture

and get the .vtf photoshop plugin.

yeah, definately a .vmt error.

epic bump for great justice

just thought i'd show you.

Dark background for easier vision.

But they're kind low poly, can't you change it?.

I really don't see why we'd want to..

Is this Fred a different entity than the normal grunt, with more health or a higher attack or something?

nope. monster_human_grunt

The monster_terrorists are in production. (oooh.. maybe use modded HD models for those? ponders)

not just re-skinning, my friend, oh no.
All new heads, high-resolution textures and slightly modified bodies, these are officially 'modelled' grunts.

And we agreed on Low-def models back in the first HS thread.

I'd like to formally announce Urbanebula's fine addition to the team as our NPC modeller. He's fantastic, and quite enthusiastic about Hostage Situation, and as a result, is producing great work at record speeds! Let his attitude spread to the rest of you.

Anyway, without further adu, take a look at the new Terrorist:Meet Fred. You don't fuck with Fred if you want to keep your limbs.

Elite Force II - Such a disappointment after the epic first game.

Combat Flight Sim series. Crap. Get IL2.

Supreme Commander. Most Overrated game. EVER.

yeah, i think i'll fraps the intro. =]

ZL:

she looks cold. and has wonky teeth.
Gabrielle Lupin is hotter.

there's a great chatlog from Muzz's HLDM server of me and Loffe doing this before i fuck up royally, and then crowbar Loffe when he scolds me for it.

Gosh!

For someone not to have played Zero Wing hurts my inner soul.

For the love of everything worth living for, emulate it now!

NineTnine has no taste at all?

1. Half-Life 1 GOTY & mods
2. Operation Flashpoint
3. Half-Life 2 And CSS and source in general
4. IL2: Sturmovik
5. Company Of Heroes

And very close runners up:

Zero Hour, Red Alert 2, GTA 2, Jedi Academy, Freelancer, Evil Genius, Hitman 2

that's the saddest thing?

type sv_cheats 1 in the console, then proceed to type

nav_generate

Nodes are not required.

Stevey! that was the one. Couldn't remember it's name.

why?

It's clearly one of the current idiots we have..

Dave, ghetto or that other guy who srry and muzz pwnt

Penguinboy:

It was a fair enough bump. Check the post dates before using the edit picture.

f0ld:

must. download. looks. awesome.

BF2 is full of the sweetest gaming moments.

Very true. So it's a shame that the online gameplay experience is shit. LAN is great, though.

But yeah..
BF2

1. I was playing with 2 other people at Microplay. I know them both, and we were just mucking about. So one of them drops out of his plane into the water, and starts hollering for help. So me and the other guy both rush to assist in helicopters. We both turn in opposite directions and end up facing each other, about 5 meters appart directly over this guy in the water, who gets a huge explosion right over his head as we both die trying to save him. He then proceeded to swim to shore

2. Commander vehicle drops onto Carriers, driving them off the end and then jumping out into a waiting, hovering helicopter piloted by a trusted friend.

3. knife fights on top of a crane.

---

HL1

1. The tram. I mean come on. How many of you can honestly say you weren't awed in the late 1990s by the sheer brilliance of your surroundings as you travel through Black Mesa's transit network heading inbound to Sector C.

2. Seeing the scientist getting dragged through the window by the monster_tentacle. That terrified me, and gave me a huge grin at the same time.

3. Realising that my bullets were having no effect on the gargantua.

4. Watching the 45 minute speed run and just laughing the whole way through, seeing all the little flaws in HL that are taken advantage of.

5. Playing my first home-made map. Everyone here must know that feeling.

6. Getting lost in 'On a Rail'

---

HL2

1. Leaving the trainstation. Even on the lowest graphics settings possible, and at a framerate of like, 9fps, i was completely awestruck. Thank god i got rid of my old PC ^_^

2. PHYSICS!!! I spent about 20 minutes in that damned playpark!

3. G-man returns. It just made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

4. The time when you're crossing the railway bridge by car, which you have just spent the past 30-40 minutes carefully climbing under, and then hearing the honk of the oncoming train and JUST making it by the skin of your teeth.

5. The airboat chase already mentioned. Epic.

6. Diving the airboat off the side of the dam, floating surreally through the clouds, and just before you hit the water, the loading graphic pops up and everything freezes for a minute ^_^

7. Using the gravity gun in Ravenholm & Highway 17.

---

Operation Flashpoint

1. Learning that losing your entire squad to a botched ambush is not the way to win the game, and proceeding to really think about tactics properly to win, rather than going in and spraying bullets everywhere.

2. Reading death-quotes like "war is not nice" - Barbara Bush

3. Learning that there are like, 70 pilotable vehicles.

4. The motorbike ride at the start, like HL1's tram.

---

Note that none of these were in any particular order.

Oh, and Metal Gear Solid 1 (PS1) absolutely pwns MGS2 and 3. Seriously.

i dunno.. Model skins? A bigger map?

i like Tosse's avatar =D

Can i do something a bit better for this, btw?

i mean.. the map i made was done in 5 mins

very nice.

agreed.

All in favour of PMing the various admins of TWHL about Dave say 'aye'

]

or even easier, 2 func_doors. just give them a direction and a negative lip value.

looks very nice.

Very dark, but i'm sure it'll work better without the big bright TWHL border.

cant ruin the surprise.

i'm sure you posted about this a while back...

Update:

The Hostage models have been modified by Urbanebula to suit our needs.

Einstein has dreadlocks and no huge tash so that he can be Anders Friden

Luther's had a shave, and had his head rounded off so he can be the bald Howard Jones

who the hell plays BF1942 singleplayer?!

The who point of the BF series is the multiplayer exerience. I mean seriously, if you dont play online what's the point?

it doesn't look remotely like an AK. who ever said anything about an AK?

It's a mini-14 & it looks fucking hot.

they should have called it byoshock to compete. How witty and zany would that be? You'd see it in a shop and go "woah. that's zany."

oooh. the second shot is very atmospheric. Looks nice.

Keep us posted.

Rimrook's = teh best. nice drawing.

I chose to play Star Wars Galaxies over having a night out with my girlfriend. I have levelled up, you see.

Okay - Here's the deal.
