i actually found some time to work on it.
so if anything, mine will be a last minute entry...
Forum posts
exactly my point. the people dont take the time to learn why TFC is so great because they expect to jump in and just start killing.
while that's a main role in the game, its not everything.
that's basically what i'm tryin to say

Yeah. And again, CS is simple. Buy a gun, shoot people.
If you're really good, you can like.. plant or defuse a bomb.
I loved CS 1.6 and i love Source even more.
But TFC's gameplay is much more intricate than CS. You actually need to work as a team kinda.
idk there's more to it than that, but probably explains why theres less whiny nubs on TFC than CS

It's the same reason why the CS 1.6 people don't like source.
They're just farr to used to the original gameplay.
Personally, i never liked TF too much, and TF2 isnt all that great, but it's a hellova lot of fun to play.

Whatever doesnt blow up Ants computer should do nicely
It reminds me of those lizard things from Ocarina of Time: Dodongos.
Almost like a mix between the adults:
And the Larva
They rammed into you. Then exploded.

I know it's a head-crab replacement.. But does he just.. ram into you or does he have teeth?
that looks crazy cool.
But.. how does he attack?
And i thought this was a puzzle game not so much combat orientated? what's with the garg

Ahh i see.. where would i find the manual? Online somewhere i presume? I don't think i got any documentation on it
And i was putting some thought as to which parts i would like in my next computer and i thought of an idea. let me know what you guys think.
My thoughts were to go to dell.com or alienware.com or whatever, and use their site to build the PC that i want for like.. $5,000. Then i'll just take a list of all the parts, order them separately, and i should save a shitton of money right?

oh so just same speeds not necessarily same memory amount?
BUMP!
sorry, but i didn't see the reason for making a new thread, and this is pretty much on topic anyway
So i have been browsing the net for ram lately and i stumbled upon crucial.com which i guess is recommended from a bunch of tech forums...
http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Dimension%204600
so it says in one of the drop-down FAQ lists that I have to install matching pairs of RAM Sticks in my computer
I bought a 1 gig stick of ram and paired it with a 512 stick.
Will this hinder my performance at all or does it really not matter?

Regular players usually focus more on gameplay elements rather than level design and detail.
I know i did, and now that i've mapped for a few years i critique everything.
Looks good Doc

Good stuff.
I did the Dxlevel 90 and it works great. I had to lower my res to 800x600, but im running everything on high, trilinear filtering, shadows on low, shaders on high, and gettin rougly 30-35 fps now.
AND it loads finally.
Thanks for those console commands, but how'd you learn about that stuff?

i agree wholeheartedly with C++ being a steaming pile of you know what
I cant seem to find the .blob files. i searched the entire steamapps folder and i yield no results.
havent had time or patience to run it at a different DX level..
um
if dave would be so kind and answer me this question (or if anyone else knows)
could i set the mat_dxlevel to like.. 90 or 01 or something?
my default is 95 but can i go somewhere in-between with this?

I got another error guys... Turning my DXlevel to 80 works fantastic, i must day dave. Like it's incredible 
I thank you again for that but now i'm getting this other error in episode 2.
I'm sure you all know and love the tunnel loading scenes with the bright white light yes?
Well shortly after getting the infuckingcredible muscle car ep2 crashes in the tunnel relaying me this quaint message: "failed to lock index buffer in CMeshDX8:LockIndexBuffer"
Gives me a little 'OK' button and 30 seconds later i'm staring at my steam games list.
im not happy
oh and one more thing, if anyone else uses the mat_dxlevel 80 thingy, just put + infront of it and slap it into the launch settings so you dont gotta do it every time you load hl2:ep2

fps hasn't changed, but it's not lagging.
wierd

what's that do?
yes. the only thing that's different is the default texture quality is medium. everything else is defaulted.. i'll get a screenshot real fast
I'm really stunned as to why the recommended settings are killing my system

The low settings are better, but there's barely any difference. I still lag profusely, and that damn audio stutter is still there as well

I know my card isn't exactly 'good' but i was pulling almost 70 fps with the same settings in ep1
it doesn't really make any sense to me

Hey. I just got done playing EP1 and i moved onto EP2 and my performance sucks now. I'm using the default settings, and getting no more than 22 fps when staring into a brick wall. Lowering everything to "Low" Only gives me another 4fps... wtf is happening?
HL2 and CSS are doing the same thing.
It was working fine before but now it's terribly slow and laggy.
I have trillian, steamclient, and Spybot S/d working in the background, but i always had and it's never been this crappy before. EVER.
Running a Pentium 4 @ 3.00ghz
1.5g ram
and a NVidia Geforce 6200
anyone have any suggestions?

did you create the light entity inside a wall?
if you did, just drag it away from the wall a few units

no, air resistance and kinetic energy slow it down.
The sound you hear, "tink tink" is actually energy being transferred from the bearings into sound waves.
They do, however last a good 20 minutes if balanced correctly
@ arcan
what exactly did you fix, i'm not seeing anything?

i think there was a thread that discussed spawning batteries under the player to recharge HEV. but after your armor is full there will just be batteries everywhere
Well turns out from the police report, they were doing damn near 80mph.
I take a lot of chances when i drive too but nothing too dangerous.
EVERYONE speeds 5-10 mph over the given speed limit, and sometimes i'll be driving home late at night, i find i have to blast my music and slap myself every few seconds just to stay awake on the highway.

for the camera view, click the camera button and drag a line in one of the 2-d views.
so then you might see wireframe, and if that's the case. in the 3-d view, top right, click where it says "camera" it should bring a drop down list. select one of the textured ones. (whichever you prefer, shaded or not)
THEN
everything should be white.
and to (kinda) easily re-texture, hit alt+p, and you should see a list of invalid textures.
type one in to the texture application screen, and replace it. (make sure you select the 'everything' check box)
check 'dont run game' in the compile unless you want your computer to die.
most people like to exit hammer before testing the map

its actually just the middle of the texture i created.. if you notice the right hand corner, its the same... 'streak width' as the rest, i was going to edit my post but you beat me to it daub
i was going to say that i'm changing the textures when i have the whole map slightly detailed; such as this part..
this is the lower right part of the map, another waterfall drops off from there replacing the stairs. From there, it leads into a river, and the river is the bottom of the level
