Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy

As cool as it is, Dragos didn't quite invent it. It's been done before.

I believe there's a thread called "Now Gaming"? It's for games, this one is for music.

Aphex Twin - Windowlicker

Prodigy - Mindfields

Yes, DiscoTsu you are absolutely right!

Actually, he's the goddamn Batman.

That's how GoldSource does random textures. If you don't want it to do that, just change the name of the texture; removing the -0~ or whatever tag.

Just bought myself my first half of my Christmas gift. It's the only Apple product I'll probably ever purchase.

Nah, I just didn't get anything yet.

Still have $400 in my pocket.

Nothing.

Amen Brother - The Winstons

How about A + B; a Security guard's life throughout the 7 hour war?

What game is this?

Yeah, great job on the vid! Had a great time as well and enjoyed the commentary.

Uh, we already had a Desktops of December thread...?

de_vegas owns, definitely needs an update.

Thanks!

Had a total blast as well. Can't wait for the results!

You look like a Japanese Samurai. Cool!

lol

Where's the wings?

1.2, I think.

Hmm, I'm not sure but I think he actually based the engine off of Spirit's code.

It's not meant to upgrade your normal Half-Life. Most of it's features are meant to be experimented with with your own work you made for it. It has shadows and mirrors. Look at the documentation package that came with it.

I don't think this engine is meant for use with Low Definition models.

e/ It's a texture flag. Remove the entry from gfx/textures/texture_flags.txt
Then remove the model. He used barney to demonstrate the uses of texture flags.

The engine offers some graphical improvements, but it's mostly got utilities that extend engine usage and are meant to make the game faster. A major feature though is the particle engine and the client side entity manager, read up on these in the documentation in the package.

YES RUSSIA STRONG THEY LIVE THROUGH WARS THAT MAKES THEM GOOD MODDERS OH YES YEP INDEED EVERYONE ELSE SUCKS ASS RUSSIANS ROCK OH YEAH AMERICANS ARE THE WORST

Next time, think before you post. That was the dumbest statement I've ever read.

Um, the default shotgun is good enough for me.

e/ or why not the HD pack one?

Why are you using the ported HL2 shotgun? It sucks.

You'd have to ask Highlander for that, heh.

I guess you could say that.

The Trinity Rendering Engine is a replacement of Half-Life's model renderer and world renderer, it augments original functionalities with new assets, like TGA decals on models and world objects, it allows for advanced lighting effects and fully reflective water, shadow mapping on projective lights. Also supported is the ability to load external textures for existing ones in the game, with unlimited resolution. Model lighting is overall improved and supports light entities in the world that allow for fast, correct per-vertex lighting.
It also allows for more space, some entities can be taken out of the engine's hands and into those of Trinity, allowing for unlimited, fast rendering of props on the client side without filling Half-Life's model cache at all. An advanced particle engine allows for any kind of particle effects with high quality texture support, support for animated textures.
Performance is overall improved on all aspects of the engine, world rendering is faster than previously and the same goes for model rendering. This was done with numerous optimizations to rendering code and the techniques.

A full list of features, detail descriptions and entity entries can be found in the package of the download. The engine was mostly programmed by Andrew "CastleBravo / Highlander" Lucas, but numerous parties were involved. For a complete list of credits, see the description in the files.

Hope you all have fun using it, this is pretty much my parting gift from the modding community to everyone still active and making mods.

Download!

Update:
A new version of Trinity got released. It includes some improvements over old code, some new additions and a few bugfixes. For a full list of changes, please see "Changes to v2.0".
Also, don't forget to read the files in order to know how it works. Any bugs you might see, report them to my e-mail address.

Reminds me quite a bit of Left 4 Dead...

9 days.

No.

There is a conspiracy around here... We might need J.C. Denton to investigate.

A big mess is a mess indeed.

It's John Carmack, Adrian Carmack, John Romero, and I think Tom Hall, I don't know the rest.

I dunno, I thought the tanks in Gunman were easy to control.

I, for one thought NS was generic and boring. I hope this project doesn't turn out the same. I'll be watching this project. Good luck.

Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me.

Yeah, it's from the Further Data mappack.

It's kinda hard to do when the skeleton is still the regular scientist one, but I like the buttoned up coat idea. I'll try out some of the stuff you mentioned but I'm not guaranteeing it will look any better.

Impossible for her to be able to wear a tie, she doesn't have the same type of shirt as the men. And as far as I know women don't wear ties very often anyhow...

e/Final version of this head.

Gentlemen, I present to you... the first SD female scientist!

I hate to say it but, I have the same opinion on it as Dimbark but a slight difference, I really have no interest in the game whatsoever.

Soul Carrier

No other real source of their music on YouTube besides "Before Then", but I don't have that album yet nor have I listened to the song. One of the coolest modern funk bands I've heard.

e/ "Before Then" is good, check it.
