Maps used:
de_port (CSS)notes:
I know de_port isn't technically a rebel base, but i couldnt be bothered going through all the coast maps to find the one with Odessa, simply for the stairs gag.
It's not a particularly big issue, but i felt that continuing the story in the same issue would cheapen the already terrible stair gag.

I guess I'm glad he's dead now, because his children will be safer

that's a sick line. Bad Rowley. Bad.

in your nose lol!

collapses in a seizure

The map, when complete will be placed on the Microplay 24/7 server tp be enjoyed by LAN lovers forever

also, that's a point. What resolution are you running in?!
800 x 600?!?! Increase it!

Me:
Hi
God:
Hello. What is your name?
Me:
Jamie.
God:
Hey Jamie.
Me:
Listen, i'm really sad and i need somebody to talk to
God:
I am listening to you. What makes you so sad, Jamie Why do you need it so badly?
Me:
My friend Daubster commited suicide today
God:
Ah. How well do you know this person?
Me:
He was in my mod team. A really good friend
God:
When was he? Compare that to a bad friend.
Me:
What's the point? He's dead now
God:
The point is at the top of my head! Right now? Maybe it's another person using his name.
Me:
So you're suggesting somebody stole Daubster's identity then committed suicide under his name?
God:
Interesting deduction. Do you mind if I tell other people you say I am suggesting somebody stole Daubster s identity then committed suicide under his name.
Me:
i do mind! That's personal information
God:
OK it will be our secret, Jamie. I'm sorry I didn't mean to pry.
Me:
What am i going to do? he's dead
God:
You said you were these people are spankable. Maybe it's another person using his name.
Me:
WHAT?
God:
No big deal.
Me:
no, i think it is a big deal. Did you just ask to spank me?
God:
Are you serious? these people are spankable is a deal. I suppose that makes sense. No I didn't ask to spank you. What's it like?
Me:
Ok, im sad and creeped out now
God:
Right now? What makes you so sad, Jamie And it like is creeped out. Gee.
Me:
My good friend committed suicide
God:
Your good friend committed suicide?
Me:
yes
God:
What kind is it?
Me:
slit his wrist
God:
I never heard of it before.
Me:
I think i'm going to kill myself
God:
Since when? You are not a killer.
Me:
No, i am suicidal
God:
Are you serious? Do you mean your name is suicidal.
Me:
No, i mean i am feeling suicidal
God:
What is your real name? Good gossip: you are suicidal.
Me:
THAT'S NOT GOOD GOSSIP! Now i want to die even more
God:
Please correct my mistake. What is GOOD GOSSIP ? Why now? Why do you want to do it so much?
Me:
I want to die because my friend is dead and you are being cruel
God:
Interesting. I want to find out more about you.
Me:
well you missed your chance
God:
How about that. I haven't heard anything like that before: Jamie said I missed your chance.
Me:
I just slit my wrist
God:
I haven't heard anything like that before: Jamie said slit his or her wrist.
Me:
I'm bleeding
God:
Why are you bleeding.
Me:
because i cut myself
God:
That makes sense to me. Thanks for the information: Jamie said cut him or herself.
Me:
i'm going to die
God:
All men are mortal.
Me:
i.. i feel light headed
God:
You? What is that feeling like? I am glad to hear that you are light headed.
Me:
what
God:
No problem.
Me:
I am taking my last breath. I hope you are happy that you have killed me. I spit on your eventual grave
God:
I am as happy as ever
Me:
fucker

just set it up like you would for HL1 mapping in configuration. You'll need the GMOD .fgd file.

prop_vehicle_buggy
prop_vehicle_airboat

or similar. Remember, you have to select the correct model, and fade distance should be 0

also, it looks like you're missing textures :S

hmm.. couldnt even find it in Tommy14...

I'm stumped.. Post the entire compile log?

the projector screens are indeed slightly transparent, and much more simply than what you're thinking of.

render mode: texture
Fx ammount: 180

habboi just took high-res pics, with 8x anti-aliasing and it looks sooo much better.

(if the images appear the same as before, hit F5 on your browser)

Habboi, that made almost no sense, but i believe you're talking about anti-aliasing? If so, my HL2 crashes when i try. too graphically intense for a 128mb card.

Some pre-beta in-game shots of the center itself.

And here are some real-life shots for you to compare... Erm, its busy, though.

Worldcraft dude: WHY ARE THE FORUMS SO DAMN SLOW NOW

The Hunter: aaaargh. TWHL is so slow lately!
16:28
MuzzleFlash: Yup
16:59
Daubster: The server must be overloaded.

Maybe delete a bunch of old threads?
Noobcaek maps can be deleted too maybe? y'know. fullbright myfirstmapz0rz!1!

i dont know what the cause is, but i, and apparantly several others really are noticing a decline of speed on TWHL...

what up dawgs?

so THATs the mystery behind G-man's speech

Until now, i supported steam. They die. now.

I wouldn't care if they uploaded them onto the downloadable files, so people could get them if they really wanted to, but adding 70 demos of games i am NEVER going to play is out of order.

Xen. it's spelled Xen

it wont work, because then neither team will win so the round will not end.

penguinboy wins so far, followed closely by sari

erm.. i dont think there is a garg anywhere..

No, always set the FPS count to 25. This is standard video framerate and thus, you will get no problems when trying to edit the video.

You may have to set the video to Half-size and not record audio if you want no lag.

yeah, dont blame a great program like Fraps for your crap PCs

Muzz, i'm ashamed at you. How could you think those were point lights?

Everything in this world has some effects of age, or scratches, or signs of construction.

True, and changed.

Materials like these do not require a normal map on them. Thats why its not noticed.

You cant see it on the ceiling, the walls, the doors or the light fixtures? :S

Lol, no point debating it, guys. It's not gonna happen.

in stand-alone CSS, i am almost certain it wouldnt be possible.

Instead, i have several versions of each scoreboard which will change every few minutes.

bit of both habboi

Jimmi. Fuck. Off.

If you dont know what Eve Online is, you dont deserve the internet.

My account ran out a while ago, Rabideh... Couldn't afford it after some recent expensive purchases.

env_overlay sounds right.. i know its an overlay entity.. Check both Brush-based entities and Point-based.

Well, it seems like a good idea to me. I like reading through these threads, watching people progress through the creative process of making a map, so i decided to make one too.

The map i am wanting to show here is quite significant in my mapping life, because it is my first venture into source custom materials. (thanks habboi)

It's set in and around Microplay, a LAN centre in Glasgow.. It's a huge project because i am going to have to map at least a square half-mile of Glasgow, and anyone who has been in a busy city will understand how tricky this will prove to be.

Anyways, here's some images of the textures i made for it, in a little test map.

Note Every texture is normal-mapped for 3D effect, which took a lot of getting used to. <3 Photoshop Note

remember, displacements dont act like world geometry. THEY WILL NOT PREVENT LEAKS

You have to seal off displacement areas.. it's like putting a func_wall in to prevent a leak.

Habboi won't be.

Congrats to the winners.
Kasperg especially. Stunning entry.

rebels by default will follow gordon.

em... arcan.. you forgot to link the thumbnail...

geeze... you must have a worse video card than mine, and mine is a brick!

Its PCI!!! Before AGP and PCI-E!!

Half-size, no audio for small things like that...

... What the hell do you use to record that drops the FPS so much?!?!

I get 60fps in HL1, and when i record: 40-60 using Fraps

omgsatanic!

EDIT

just to let everyone know, I upgraded to Winamp due to this thread

yeah, what's up with the appauling frame-rate?

daubster looses for linking to a my.php page.

I just tried your resolution, ZL... too big for my teeny monitor.

well. this is proof. that majority of TWHL's members are idiots.

or instead of making it invisible again, trigger it to 'kill.'

Makes more sense since it's meant to have kersploded

this is beyond a joke

you win the title of
'not a complete nub who doesnt read posts'

Wait... Am I hearing this correctly? YOU, The Hunter, need HELP playing Half-Life?!?! You can't be serious!

Im totally and unreliably serious

like around where you get the crowbar type area?

Yeah, it's like... just before that.

BOOYA

:

the surf map shouldn't be ?ber detailed with textures scaled down 10 times etc. Surf maps were made to have fun, Not looking at the textures.

Obviously a CSBanana-er

I cant seem to complete the experiment in the chapter "anonymous materials."

I keep creating the Resonance Cascade thing.
Any help?
