That looks pretty neat. Keep it up!
For aim maps, there aren't too many gameplay aspects to consider really. Try and make things so that the teams can't shoot each other immediately, and give them interesting cover to hide behind. Try and give both teams the same amount of cover, but do your best to make each side different. It can be trickier to achieve a fair balance, but it's nice if playing T is slightly different to playing CT.

Each episode would have to be substantial in it's own right.
m0p, it doesn't star Vin Diesel.
It was going to originally.
But not now.

I'm just glad that Vin Diesel didn't get the part of 47, cos I hear that was the original plan. That would've sucked so badly.
I like the whole character 47 though so I probably will have a look at the film.
Even though it'll probably suck.

Non conductive coolant is all well and good, but don't think you can not worry about a leak in your system.
'Coolant' is basically ionized water, which is not conductive when contained within a sealed system.
However it gradually becomes conductive when exposed to oxygen.
A leak wouldn't cause major problems immediately but about 5 mins after it leaks onto your board, you're going to get a short.

Watercooling is awesome if you want to get more performance out of your PC. But be warned - it requires more maintenance than an air-cooled system.
The OpenGL thing is really annoying.
i'd rather the 360I'm tempted myself. But I'm firmly a mouse-and-keyboard man.
I've never had any problems with USB sticks in Vista. In fact I'd say that's one of the things it is best at.
I've literally used hundreds of different USB sticks in my Vista PC at work, without any extra drivers. Whenever a student wants to test one, or when one is handed in lost, or whenever I have to work on files handed to me on them. I'd say I encounter at least one new random stick every single working day.
No problems yet.
So, Mr. Good map, you either have the worst USB sticks ever made, or you're talking out of your arse.
I see no reason to upgrade.Oh I agree with you in principal.
But the powers that be, are already trying to force people to upgrade.
Soon there will be games which are Vista only. And their number will only grow.
Two that spring to mind are Halo 3 and Alan Wake.
I don't like Halo so that doesn't bother me. But I want to play Alan Wake - and to do that requires either Vista or an Xbox360.
It took me quite awhile to get my head around all the scripting in RA2. But now I've got a good grasp of it. I've made some pretty complicated single player missions.
If you have any questions, ask away.

I map for Red Alert 2 !
Maybe RAD freaked out when it saw all the "larger than expected textures" which are pointed out in the compile log.

Oh right sorry.
I need to stop coming into threads from the front page!
I don't remember if 3.4 or 3.5 have the option.

There's an option in one of the Hammer menus where you can enter coordinates and it will take you to them.
I believe it's called "Go to Coordinates"

Vista works really well for me at work.
But I wouldn't have it at home. Not for the forseeable future anyway.

People abuse things all the time. Homosexuality is just another unique case of it.So homosexuality is a form of abuse?
We're abusing several constitutional rights in ways our forefathers didn't see coming, because back then it wasn't so pronounced.You think gays are a recent phenomonen? That recent years have been more filled with gay people than previous history? General attitudes have changed. Nothing else.
Well, that's all fine and good, if you hold christian values over gay ones.
Personally I don't.

Thank god for that, I thought that it was a model that had sprouted a random new part and I was going a bit insane over it. 
Erm
Phrase what exactly?
That gays are bad?

So, what did you mean to say?
Nice job. 
it's still discrimination.Yes it is. I completely agree.
However, there's nothing we can do about discrimination being a fundamental part of human nature. Even if we donned an immense robot exoskeleton which offered faster than light travel and an infinite nuclear missile launcher, we would not be able to change it.
In an ideal, balanced, and objective world - your vision of this scenario would be the way it really was.
Unfortunately, humans suck.
What I really want to know is, did ZombieLoffe write the original post himself, or did he get it somewhere else?
we're provoking bad psychological behavior at a large scale.In your opinion.
Like a few gays here and there aren't bad, but when they take up arms to march on Washington DC, thats too much.I know a lot of gay people. There's absolutely nothing wrong with them. They are human beings, just like me and you. How would you like it if someone pointed at you and said:- "You ... your kind, whatever you are - You're wrong, and you're a disgustingly ugly freak, the likes of which should be minimized in society and not allowed the same rights as anyone else."
There are many gay people who are of superior intelligence and wisdom to both you and I.
You would stop them marching if they wanted to?
/edit cos two posts appeared while I was typing
ZLYes, it would, but I think they should be allowed to. They should have a choice just as gay people should have the choice to marry. If gay marriage is legal and the church refuses to take part then someone else will rise up to accomodate them. After all, there's money to be made in weddings! (Trust me!)
It would be discriminatory to let them shut out the gays.
Earth, why?That was my point.
If you don't get it, that's my point as well.
Yes. it was filled with bad jokes and some serious arguments.What planet are you from, exactly?
you have repeated my advice of flushing the dns cache,No. You've misinterpreted my intentions. If you really care that much, read it all again carefully.

Is it maybe not because BT are like, moments away from your telephone line with a pair of wire cutters 24 hours/day?Well, that would do it.
'Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed:The fact that your web browsing works for a short time indicates that your DNS settings are correct. Something else is getting in the way. It could theoretically be the cache ... but I've never come across this actually being the reason. Normally if your cache is fubar'ed, your web browsing won't work at all.
Clearing DNS Cache.'
You can still try and clear it manually if you like.
Open a command prompt, and at the prompt, type ipconfig /flushdns
But I'd say the problem is most likely to be one of three things:-
1. Your ISP being (probably temporarily) crap. If this is the case, you can do little about it.
2. Spyware/Adware. TCPView is great for spotting programs which are abusing your internets. Or you could go for the Spybot & Ad-aware combi.
3. A problem with your registry, most likely caused by Spyware/Adware which may even no longer be present. I've seen a few 'cleaned' machines (usually student's laptops) with problems of this nature. Have you removed any nasties lately?
And lastly, although I always thought of Zonealarm as a pretty good (free) firewall, I recently got rid of the free edition from my home PC because it started causing lag issues similar to your own --- although my symptoms were not quite as bad as the ones you describe.
Oh and I just thought, it could be a hardware problem with your router or modem too. But it's not very likely. Usually when they break, they break totally.
Tried both but no cigar.I know that Arcan and Penguinboy were only trying to be helpful. But seriously, they gave you some of the most useless advice (for your particular situation) that I've ever read.
Get TCPView:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/networking/tcpview.mspx
This allows you to monitor all of your TCP/IP traffic, and filter by program so you can see which program is contacting which addresses and how much traffic is being sent back and forth. If the problem is being caused by any particular program that is running, then you'll be able to identify that using this app.
Also, please describe your firewall setup to me.
Hmmm, I was actually quite amazed by what I just found.
There are servers out there running the utterly terrible maps I made years ago.
Wow.

Singleplayer FTW
Pity though, this sounds like a mod I'd really like. I'm gonna download it and see if I can find when some people are playing.

I really need to enter a compo here. Haven't done so yet. I'll do my very best to get into the next one. There's a much better chance of that if it's a Source compo, though.
whered that boy get off toI stole him! Muhahahahaha!
Hmmm. Strange.
It may still be worth trying what I was going to suggest, in case the Steam un-install had some unexpected effects on your permissions. But, no guarantees it'll work. Can't hurt though.
Part 1:
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Go to the Tools menu and select Folder Options
3. In Folder Options, go to the View tab.
4. In the list at the bottom of the View tab, find the entry called "Use Simple Filesharing (recommended)" and make sure it is unticked.
Part 2:
1. Go back to Windows Explorer
2. Right click on the root of your D drive (in the left hand column) and select 'Properties'
3. Go to the Security tab, and click on the Advanced button
4. On the Advanced window, go to the Owner tab.
5. Make sure the account that you use to log onto windows is listed as the current owner of the drive.
If it is - then that's how it should be, and I've just wasted your time. Sorry.
If not, then you need to make your account the owner. Make sure you click the box at the bottom which is labelled "Replace Owner on Subcontainers and Objects" too.
Cross those fingers!

Yes.
There's an option in one of the hammer menus where you can enter the number of a brush and it will take you to it.
The map coordinate extents thing most often happens (to me anyway) when I've made an invalid brush, and sometimes something happens when you save the file and the brush becomes bigger than the whole map grid. 9 times out of 10 Hammer will automatically delete the brush the next time you load the map into it, but sometimes it won't.

Hahah, it took me a minute to see it. But yeah. I bet that made you kick yourself. 
There are several problems obvious in that log.
This is often caused by making something complex, grouping it together, and then scaling it down to make it smaller. Have you been doing this?
In this case, it seems bad enough that the second half of VIS isn't running at all. Even if your map did load, this will cause the lighting in your map to look wrong, and probably force the engine to draw the entire map, all the time, no matter where the players are. This isn't very good for performance.
WARNING, microbrushThis means that you have some solids in your map which are (if I remember right) smaller than 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5. The engine does not like this at all.

WARNING: Cluster portals saw into clusterAs far as I know, this means you've got brushes which overlap each other at strange angles and confuse the compile tools. This doesn't necessarily cause a map to not load, but it can do.

Error! prop_static using model "models/props/cs_office/offinspd.mdl", which must be used on a dynamic entity (i.e. prop_physics). Deleted.This one's pretty self-explanatory. Change the prop to a dynamic entity. This error isn't the cause of your main problem though.
