Instant Mix
tempted to make it in goldsource because it requires less graphical shizznizz
This could be interesting. I've already got a lovely theme in my head. As the "mini mod" is permitted, does this mean we can submit more than one map?
Doesn't actually say she killed herself because of the phone call in the article, it more implies it was some other disease she had that either took her, or caused her to kill hersel.
Another update. Inspired by the likes of Metroid Prime's passive minibosses like the Incinerator Drone

Improved considerably since this video was taken. Heavy, heavy wip.

Funny, i'm running it on a Radeon HD 7870.. runs like a dream.
Um.. I don't know if it was only me who experienced Hammer shitting everywhere in windows 7, but as soon as I upgraded to windows 8, the programme is suddenly more stable. Sure, the zoom tool is still invisible but at least the grids aren't disappearing and hammer isn't randomly shutting down every half second.
If you want anything to do with modelling, you'll want some ram and a decent GPU. You probably won't need any more than 8 gigs of ram, but if you do, go ahead. I've conked out by spending £190 on a Radeon 7870 , something like that should be pretty good. But for your price range, I'd recommend a GTX 650. It's only £80 if you get it from scan.co.uk, and it's a pretty damn impressive card considering how cheap it is.

I've plenty of blood, and I pull of the effect really well. Just to say, I've been cockblocked badly. Great.
I'm even using rammstein's own tips, that being to douse pretty much everything and yourself in instant coffee to make you and your clothes look like they've been buried in mud for the last 50 years.
Dimbark, I've said it before and I've said it again.
I worry about you.
He's clearly going through puberty though.

Cheers D.Ice,
The game is damn fast paced. Although the game mechanics are pretty simple, winning a game is hard. Taking control of bases as well as trying to damage the enemie's main base whilst protecting yours WHILST keeping an inflow of cash is frustrating. Managed to win one game by outsmarting the enemy and won another by bottlenecking them in their base until the time limit went out.
Only problem is that the currency to buy new units and mechs / pilots increases incredibly slow (roughly 100 "kudos" per match, 1,200 "kudos" needed for a small bot ), and some units are only unlockable using bought diamonds. Seems slightly pay to win.

Fingers crossed you haven't already had lunch yet, I'd like to be shoved into a raffle.
Fuckin' usernames boys eh?
Aright, take a wee seat an fuck up an listen to me, ken?
aye. that's wit a thought.
So my first username, as many people probably saw and pissed themselves at, was "Mr. Good Map". I have literally no idea what possessed me to make this blatantly not true name. I was about 9 or 8 at the time I came up with this, and used variations such as M1G1M1 for Habbo Hotel and the likes. Got the piss ripped out of me here for making such shit and terribly worded journals, as well as being unable to string together a sentence that actually made sense.
Some time passed, I started playing counter strike and the like online, and for shits and giggles put my name as "Kenco Koffee". It was ok for the time being, until I went onto one of those AWP servers. Every time someone got killed, some silly message would appear like "XXX got pulverized" and "XXX got turned into jello". Smartarse little me thought "ooh hoo, how hilarious would it be if i changed my name into "Instant Mix" so it would look like I got turned into jello! LOL xD omfg" etc etc. And the name stuck. Like, really stuck. I haven't found anyone else who goes by Instant Mix, I've seen some Instants and some Mixs but none together. It's a pretty unique name and I'm quite proud of it.

it's.. source though
well to be honest the only "quakeroaches" here are urby and myself.. the only reason I use the goldsource engine is because the source version of hammer has a serious case of manic depression and shuts down ALL THE FUCKING TIME. And also decides to save maps with every point-based entity deleted.

The hell is a quakeroach?
It's quite strange to think it was only a couple months ago that i'd learnt what the T B L R C buttons did, for all the time before hand i'd tried to make a brush that fitted in with the normal grid , moved it to the place I wanted texture and then applied it from there. Those 5 buttons are a LIFE SAVER.
Taco
I come from a land known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island, and in this "tacos" are rare as hell and you are pretty lucky if you can find anywhere that isn't a tapas bar that sells them. as I have never had one, I can only make a guesstimate that it's one big-ass dorito with a shittone of beef and other coronary heart disease-inducing consumables.

As I've said , and i'm sure a lot of people do, I watch all the reviews, but I just never have anything to comment on them, mostly because they are pretty spot on. From now on though, to show we actually do watch them, I'll be voting every month for MOTM.
Buggering about with triggers and shit. Remember seeing a prefab literally years ago of some sort of cylinder you could walk into and would instantly heal you. Now i've made some sort of station that you walk up to, it locks you, heals you, makes your view go all weird and then lets you walk free. Only usable once, could probably make it work multiple times but gameplay wise it's probably a good feature.
Oh how
what
that's just horrible
not only is it a dorm but still OTHER PEOPLE IN THE GOD DAMN ROOM
oh yeah College Dorms if they are anything like the dorms at st.andrews uni then they are fucking horrible.

the number 27
27 is pretty cool as it's got an irrational root of 5.1961524227066318805823390245176 , it's also 3x9, as well as the natural log of 532048240601.79861668374730434118. It's pretty damn cool.
It's also 30 minus 3 , as well as 51204214 minus 51204187. Pretty crazy, huh?

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream
If you thought your dick was the only thing that could have an orgasm, you'd be wrong. Clearly, you'd say, twats can as well. But you'd still be wrong. Because your tastebuds can. And this can only occur when eating Ben & Jerry's "Jesus christ is there cocaine in this" ice-cream. Cookie dough tastes like refined shit, but the Phish Phood and Chocolate Brownie flavours are literally the tears of jesus. Sure, they con you out by halfing the volume of the whole tub, but it's still worth it for those roughly 2 minutes you spend messaging your tastebud's balls before they jizz flavour all over your goddamn mouth.
I've been playing too much borderlands.

Just a note, wavy things with no values on is no use to anyone. Hell, considering what i've done, they'll have spreadsheets open. Lots and lots of goddamn spreadsheets.
Cheers habboi, nice to know somebody has problem solving skills. I'm not entirely sure how i'm going to solve it but a shit-tonne of trial and error will probably be required.
Does anyone know how to solve the problem of func_tracktrains always stopping slightly offset?
Only seems to happen when going backwards - i've tried setting the path_track to stop the train and teleport it to that path_track, but it's not working too well.
Having to rebuild everything because source hammer shits a brick when I try importing a .map
I've learnt that source hammer also has manic depression and likes to randomly shut down, and that the screenshot compression the overlay uses is fucking horrendous.
I = K/D^2 with K being a constant. As archie pretty much completely explained, as the distance increases, the light intensity ( or let's just say for mapping's sake the brightness) decreases exponentially.
Archie, what was that joke about the coffee someone said in an InDev webcast thing ages ago? and I'd happily wear that t-shirt... just not in proximity to people
Saw the progress on FP livewire, looks great. Enjoy leeds fest!
How lovely. Our leader has decided to stop using the Granite engine and instead use Source. Not only has that wasted a tonne of my time, but the game isn't going to be open for everyone any more. Oh well, at least I don't have to deal with those bloody spotlights any more.
Why would a heavily modified quake engine have the exact same named subdirectories , even the valve folder?
Cheers jeff anywho. Is it possible to make sprites move on the half life engine? I remember using an engine that had an env_spritetrain which i'm assuming did just that.

The name for this engine that Conscript is using. I literally know nothing about it, but it looks like some hacked version of Goldsource with the trinity renderer shit put on top. Apparently it's a heavily modified Quake engine but I don't really believe that.
The coder for it lurks TWHL so I'm sure he can pipe in if he wants to.

Good call archie, was trying to make one earlier but this granite engine is a bit temperamental. Altered the spotlight texture, might see if using the gradients will look nice than the old-school 8 brushes method
That's a spot, not a par can :L
But please spill the beans on how to make them look nice :L

Don't use stencyl. Stencyl sucks. Use construct classic. Much more versatile.
It's a pain trying to light rays using only brushes, my actual spotlights look... hideous
custom textures for lights and various other shit
planning on remaking DM_morpheus with a heavy industrial tone ; a mixture of the architecture of a chemical plant mixed in with , pretty much, a rammstein stage. Fires, fans, shit-tonnes of lights.
Construct 2 requires licensces , Construct classic however is a bit rough around the edges but you can do what the hell you want with what you make with it.
Blitz , green and red aren't complimentary colours. Green and yellow and green and blue are complimentary. Jus' sayin'
Toughworks? Grats noSick
I think though we should do a competition based on something really obscure. We've had map from texture packs as well as map from layouts, but what about something like map a song? or a specific "base this map around a sound". Wether that sound is part of some complex puzzle, or the throb of an engine or something. I don't know.
actually that's quite a good idea, due to the small size the small the small details will be able to stand out
floating islands are a pain in the ass. why not something simple like "make a crate"
that'd be fun

Instant's texturing tutorial
Step 1. Make a shape in photoshop
Step 2. Add a tonne of filters to it
Step 3. Add a white layer with some small noise, make multiply
Step 4. Shove so many filters on it that it looks nothing like the original
Personally I believe that textures and brushwork go hand in hand so as the brushwork is not of my own doing or preferable art style, I'm finding it pretty much impossible to make textures for it, hence why I am not entering the competition.

Well , to be honest hlife_hotdog, that's what I did to begin with. But it's being weird. why would it come up with ambigious leafnode errors if every vertex was on grid and joined?
Need some help guys
Curved arch, so i've made tetrahedron brushes to avoid invalid solid errors. Did Ctrl+M , enter to put all vertices on grid, but i'm getting ambigious leafnode errors. Would some kind person mind finding out what's wrong with it?
