I like the "map from a WAD" idea. It would have to be the right size, and pretty diverse. Maybe someone could make a custom one specifically for a compo.
I'm aware the mods are deciding this one, but it's a good idea for the near future.

Map a map?
I lol'd hard soup
compos = the crack of twhl
looks nice!
I also find map from layout (aka map from base) to be the most enjoyable.
Because I suck at layouts.

Those updates aren't really new, but they are cool.
And no, the release date is most certainly definitely not 2015.

I believe I was the first to 'nominate' someone. Stop trying to steal my thread-killing credit!
did i just watch cstriker teach rimrook something?
Wow, that could actually be really useful! I had no idea.
Don't give in! Join me in my second or third year of straight christmas hatting.
We went off on a tangent like every thread ever.
All hail the glorious disco overlord.
Not going to apply for a bazillion reasons(screw responsibility), but instead suggest either Hunter or Rimrook (if he ponies up for CS:S) of the people who have posted so far for the job. Hunter already reviews games like a felon and Rim is one of the more technically skilled dudes on the site.
that's my two cents, anyways.

Yes! Normally when someone finds a formula that works and works I'd say more power to them, but I bet whatever they do will be great. They remind me of a younger Valve.
For Strider, and anyone else wondering about Frictional Games' (amnesia devs) unsure financial status earlier in the thread: http://frictionalgames.blogspot.com/2011/01/four-months-after-amnesias-release.html
"we can happily announce that things are looking better than ever for us."
"we are in incredible good financial situation right now."
Great news! looks like we can expect more from Frictional.

Do propped brushes still split the faces of abutting brushes? Is there any specific reason it's better than func_detailing?
Perhaps you can keep the invisible func_water really thin, as in less than 40 or so units above the "floor" of the stream of water just so the player can't get 'under' it? I'm wondering if a smaller brush will help reduce whatever performance issues you're trying to avoid with the entity.
It's a shot in the dark but let me know if you try it whether or not it works, I'm curious myself now.

UDK is going to be my next step up the engine ladder, already got it it's just soooo much information to learn, plus i hate learning UIs
edit: since thread has already left the orbit of the planet relevant, anyone here have a favorite/the best UDK tut site? TWUDK?

Certainly! Wasn't trying to discourage anything, was simply implying that we only really have one coder and he seems to have a life.
I've always thought TWHL would look better pink and covered in flowers.

That's exactly why only the last post can be edited. As for the first bit, I won't speak for Penguinboy but I'm pretty sure that's never going to happen.
Can this be the year humanity decides to dump "Two thousand and" in favor of "twenty"? Less syllables, plus it sounds more futuristic, and after all this IS the future.
The mods are on enough and the posts infrequent enough that I don't think a report button would really be of much use. What is there to report? Mods can always be notified of spam via IRC if for some reason they don't see it.
Thanks Huntey that's the most delicious edit block ever.
was going to add, knock off the passive-aggressive smiley faces.

I was actually asking about the "whether we like it or not phrase"!"it" was the mod, and not everyone liked it. don't see the problem.
And why wouldn't you like it?Because you made me fight a strider in a space barely big enough for it to walk, and hid the rocket launchers. Because you made a button that made me die. Because you made me drive an airboat through an allyway and then get out. I honestly don't remember much more.
I still don't understand why you don't understand and cannot convince you, so I won't try.
Learn to take a GOD DAMNED COMPLIMENT. I was DEFENDING your mod, for no reason. I certainly won't make that mistake twice.
Borderlands
enjoying it so far. yet ANOTHER game though that I can tell it was designed with the consoles in mind, and it holds itself back. No anti aliasing to speak of AT ALL, gimped graphics options as a whole. No dedicated servers either. great otherwise.
At least it's not as bad as Mass Effect 2 with its four checkboxes and resolution bar. sucks only a few great games come out a year and most are gimped for the boxes.

Did you use the pointfile to make sure it's not somewhere else after the leak was detected?
amen
I don't back up, but honestly it would'nt be a huge deal if I lost everything. It's %90 games and would really only mean 2-3 days of downloading to get it all back.
I am having a bit of trouble understand the question or questions but a 3D skybox can contain without error:
-brushwork
-displacements
-brush-based entities
-point best entities(like an env_glow)
-static props (according to the wiki, dynamic props supposedly work as well)
-lights
as far as the box not displaying properly through the glass, have you tried any other glass textures? Do all of them produce the same error, or just some (or one)?

As much as the size of Kasperg's head astounds me, I really can't come up with an excuse not to play this. Sure, The Citizen had its bad (BAD) parts but it also had some pretty damn good fuckin mapping whether we like it or not.
maybe I'll be able to finish this one without getting stuck and frustrated.

my page is NOT dedicated to my apparent "hate"But that's the thing, it IS hateful. For fucks sake, it's a full page long and if it's not about America, it's about some stupid fucking drama that ended a couple years ago. It emanates anger, resentment and hatred from every pore. The fact that you need to specify that you don't hate ALL Americans in there, (which if I recall was only added after I distributed the verbal ass-kicking of the century) instead of simply REMOVING THE OFFENDING BITS shows that you are not only going out of your way to be an asshole, but also that you fully recognize the fact that you are such through being defensive, passive aggressive and spiteful.
Im dont mean offence, in fact i would take this section about america out, but that would cause more of a fuss to the apparent "offended" ones)WHAT!? WHY the FUCK would doing that offend me MORE??? Logic flaw much? Also, offended in quotes? Nice dramatic touch there Shakespeare.
Hatred disguised is nothing less, shit covered in flowers STILL FUCKING STINKS.
and the old members are getting more and more ego...says the asshole whos member profile is dedicated to how much he hates people from a particular country.
I recommend Spybot as well, I use it. Be careful to click the proper download link and not the advertisements that say download. There is also an ad which poses as Spybot returned in the google search. Click the proper link.
Just run it every once in a while, takes anywhere from 5-45 minutes based on your rig.

Frankly I would be surprised if ANYONE planned this properly, I sliced my original layout right in half to make do. A de_map becomes a fy_map just like that I guess.
It's 'cause we're all so friggin cocky

i will be (shamelessly) uploading an unfinished map, thinkin of switching engines to L4D2 to finish because it would make a fun survival map. Either that, or use it as a way to learn the UDK.
Ended up spending about $1000 on mine by the time it was done, and I run BC2 on high at 60fps and Source engine with all effects, vsinc 8x AA 16x filtering (the works) at ~250fps. The next step for me would be to get a second 5750 and crossfire it, but I'll need a Mobo and PSU and that'll be another 250-300 at the most.
So yeah, I think you did it maybe just a little bit wrong. Out of your list the Mobo and PSU strike me as needlessly expensive.

I don't know for sure, but it sounds like a long shot. I know Athlon II's support 64 bit OS's but idk about Athlons, Newegg doesn't sell a single PC with one inside it anymore. What are the specs of the CPU, how much ram is installed? Knowing that would help immensely.
damn i dont have l4d2it was five bucks on Steam yesterday, I nabbed it. might still be.
edit: yeeeah i checked, it's still five bucks.
IMO Brushwork 101 should be mandatory in every elementary school on the globe. Cut health class to make budget who needs that anyways
I make a big block around it and carve in the middle so I can texture it all at once.I want to see a screenshot of this, I'm a bit puzzled.
This is odd, and I was going to suggest the same thing as tawnos. It's always best to place an item just above the floor rather than on it.
If I were you, i'd probably try reinstalling CS next. i can't say that'll fix anything though.

Crollo: lulz, i know. but the thing about CS:S is, these days hardly anyone fuckin plays it except for the hitbox-seeking robotically precise die-hards.
Now casually playing:
Amnesia. I only play at night when i got some dro and this shit is the scariest game I've ever played. I'm loving this, I've panic-quit on three occasions.
Synergy. Me and Zombieloffe and some dudes just played through all of the HL2 games and Minerva together, with as many as six or seven people. Great fun!

No medals for talking >.>
I'm sure it depends greatly on person to person. Hell, if anyone can max out my rig with the goldsource engine I'll give you a fucking medal.
Brilliant!
