He is hunched forward with his face in his hands. Chem-lab equipment can be seen in the background.
Should this be hands on the face or hands on the forehead with palms over the eyes? Hands on the face would imply shame or sorrow, hands on the forehead would imply exhaustion.

Yeah, unfortunately even with Spirit, this is impossible. You can have certain entities move with other entities in Spirit, but that won't work with all of the point entities you need to make a tank.

are you saying what I hypothesized was wrong, or that this way to garner cash by valve is wrong in the moral sense?
I'm saying you're wrong to say that players need to pay real money for virtual items. Like crafting before it, buying items is an alternative to waiting for drops for people who would rather have it now than have it eventually.

@Potatis: Well, at least the Steam wallet thing was going to be a part of Steam anyway.

Have a look-see. 3 consecutive blog posts today, and a hell of a lot of new information regarding Polycount, which is now apparently called the Mann-conomy Update.
Apparently you will be able to outright buy items now (as well as just waiting for drops, like before).

I think the hole would look a hell of a lot better if the bricks weren't so perfectly broken, that only looks good on surfaces like flat concrete or plaster.
Bricks and cinder blocks don't just get cut in half when something is chucked through a wall; You get a whole bricks missing and whole bricks remaining along the edge.

in Trouble with server crash when loading n Post #285678
I'm compelled to believe there's some sort of conflict going on with your map and AMXX.
Have you tried testing it in vanilla CZ?

I seriously doubt it has anything to do with your custom textures, as missing textures always present an error message after crashing.

For future reference, if you have a problem with a map you're working on, post it in the Goldsrc or Source forum. Don't start a new thread for this, just remember it for next time.

Edit: Then again, if you're working with a server, you won't get error messages. Ever. You might simply have a misplaced sprite or model. Those can be silent killers when dealing with hosting maps on a server, so triple check their locations.

Download RESGen and generate a resource file for your map just to make sure you're looking for the right files. Drag your BSP into the EXE and it'll generate a text file with paths to all the necessary files for the map to run.

in What's the origin of your username? Post #285677
Worldcraft Dude: My first TWHL username from way back in late 2003.I picked the first relevant name I could think of. I was fmapping on Worldcraft at the time, I had never been a member of an internet community, and I really just planned on lurking TWHL, so I really didn't care about having a clever name. This is why, to this day, you still might catch TWHLers calling me "WCD".

World Crafter: My second TWHL username, created with my first username in mind. I switched to this one to take on a more "longstanding member" persona. The idea was to convey a creative thinker and a Half Life mapper in one name. It was also influenced by my prior name.
This is still my username for anywhere that I've registered where I haven't been able to change my name.

Soup Miner: My third TWHL username, and likely my last. I used this name for a long time online before deciding to ask a TWHL mod to change my name. Honest to god, I picked these two words because of how much I like seeing the word "soup" in people's names and because of an old VG Cats comic that mentioned "mining for fish". I switch on and off with other names on Steam, but Soup Miner is most definitely "me" in the long run and I always come back to it :P

Coolfat3459: We're not even going there, just know that it was a name I used.

Edit: @Potatis
So... you went from being a disabled potato to an invalid potato because of a character limit :)

That second on sounds more like straight up breakcore to me.
Actually, I know I enjoy the song when... it vibrates inside me... I hope you understand. It's like saying to somebody "hey, we're on the same frequency!". My mind just perceives it as being cool and my mood suddenly changes... almost feeling high.
No need to be so persistent with explaining yourself, I know exactly what you're trying to say. People's favorite music has that effect on them. And if it doesn't, then I'd argue they haven't really found their favorite yet.
Unless you mean the tactile sensations that come with bass-heavy music, in which case I still know what you mean.
