check my above edit, is that the one you were thinking of?

Also, sorry if I just ninja'd an edit of your own.

Wasn't there a source mod about vehicular combat or something? I forget, just taking a stab in the dark. Might not be what you're looking for anyway.'

Edit: I went looking for it, and found it

Never played it, so I have no idea if its what you're looking for.

The controls were weird for maybe 5 minutes, then they got pretty natural. Its a great game as is, just needs more campaigns.

Why are so many assholes play this game?

Because its free, and the swarm of people still trying to get the tf2 hat.

Played with a group of public people, and they killed me at the end of cargo elevator because I was getting a few extra kills for an acheivment from that near-infinite spawn at the end. I seriously wasn't doing it for more than 30 seconds, but they all opened fire on me anyway. I left.

Played with a group of public people, tried doing the same thing. Some guy starts flipping out on me over his mic for taking too long. I reply "Whats the matter, gotta go jack off in five minutes? give me a fucking break and let me get an extra 9 or 10 kills" When we got back to the lobby, I was kicked.

TRIED playing with a group of public people, a bunch of arrogant third-level promotion level 27s, who kept telling me all the weapons and items I used suck, and that I'm a "nub faggot" Might I say squad inventory coordination isnt terribly neccesary on NORMAL. I left.

Enough ranting about asshole player-bases.

tl;dr A large number of Alien Swarm players are angry little kids who wouldn't be able to afford the game, but have it anyway because its free.

The only one I can actually think of off the top of my head is Streets of Sim City. Which isn't good, or fun, or even worth downloading/buying in the least.

I never really had any car games I guess.

I remember op4's night vision being really weird. It acted as if a pointlight entity was following the character around. because things would just be green until you got close to them, then they'd get brighter. But I dunno, I don't know much about HL coding.

Its funny because no ones going to start their entries until one week from the end.

I was going to discuss, but then I saw grim commanding us to discuss and I taught "You are not the king of me!!!!", so I shall not discuss.

That's also why he never listens to anyone when they tell him its "thought", not "taught".

Facepalm.

What have I started?

^ Word.

A while back, I tried to find the thread that contained whatever war that ended with orpheus's downfall, but I couldn't find it. I always wondered what happened

@Joebama: Did you hand-draw those textures?

Feeds printed pictures of TWHL'er's handwriting into auto Identity-steal-o-matic 2000

ALL YOU'RE CREDIT CARDS ARE BELONG TO ME.

Awesome, I downloaded RPG Maker VX and am messing around with that now.

I just have to know one thing, all these gay anime-looking people, I can remove them all later, right?

Nevermind, 2 things. Can it also create isometric? and not just top down?

I'm thinking of starting to make a 2-D isometric (its not 3-D per se) role playing game, after having been inspired by fallout 1 and 2.

Aside from research I'm already doing, I'm simply curious if any of the TWHL'ers know of any resources on designing this type of game, or have any experience they could share with me.

This is just a little side project of my own, I'm not in any way leaving Half Life mapping.

That first picture reminds me of the Lucky Money Club from Deus Ex. Just the way the lights look, and how the light hits that certain ceiling texture. Maybe I'm just going crazy, perhaps Potatis can vouch for my observation.

Anyway, the textures, combined with the lighting, really don't give me an impression of blocky architecture, which is good! But the chairs are in plain sight, and they ARE blocky, and it takes away from the rest of the map.

God damn you. I clicked on the fucking picture.

Don't have a particular favorite, for years my top 3 have been: Green Day, Metallica, and Three Days Grace.

Atom helped me out using teamviewer and steam. its all fixed now! Had to find the keys manually.

hmm...searched for atomtools using the find feature, didn't find ANYTHING.

Am I doing it wrong?

I've never edited a registry, how would I go about this?

Since the new ATI drivers fixed the 3-D selection, I reinstalled hammer onto my main computer, set up everything, and downloaded the compilator, but now the compilator wont load, and according to the error message, its apparently pointing to a file that was deleted, when I uninstalled hammer.Full text copied from "Details" box:

What do I need to do to fix it, modify a registry entry?

Thanks.

Nope, didn't get any increase in volume.

got a little improvement, but it was almost up all the way as it is.

Soundmax pretty much integrates itself into the windows sound, the windows controls change as soundmax changes, for example:Compare to the soundmax controls, they're the same, and they change when the other changes, they're linked.

So here's the deal, I got a nice pair of Koss Pro4AA Titanium headphones, and they simply aren't putting out enough volume. I know they can go louder, but the sound controls on the computer are limiting it. I use soundmax digital audio. The volume is up ALL the way on this thing, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any way I can increase the volume put out by my computer, and therefore the headphones.

Screenshot of my soundmax settings.

This is source. We have better ways of doing things.

I just saw that today, It was rather good, effects were great.

I didn't. Looks really cool unbreakable!

I'm wondering what else is in that map that ISN'T in the screenshots.

money comes out of players in cod 6 instead of blood.

That is their way of forever mocking us for how much money we paid for their game after they screw us over with dedicated server removal.

The texturing in that screenshot is pretty bad.

Also, I think software mode makes the textures look a lot more detailed...why is this?

I didn't understand the reference, but I lol'd

Psilous, I think I may be starting to like your weird randomness.

I like the shocktrap method, just because if I use it on a bouncer, while its doing its charge, it ragdolls during said charge, and flies great distances.

I come home from school to find...

God dammit. I hate you all.

They're trippy, and if they worked, I'd probably enjoy them...in a weird acid-trip kind of way.

I'm pretty sure Psilous is trolling.

-a crapton of clothes (AND 200$ worth in gift cards to get MORE clothes)

Most of the stuff, I didn't even ask for, which is always a nice surprise.

I quite enjoyed Ferngully as a child.

And by enjoyed, I mean I really enjoyed watching the machines chew up trees, and I would wish that they would get all the trees, but it doesn't happen. D=

Oh lawd.

I haven't tried it out yet, so I'm pretty sure I'm asking a dumb question here. but why not just make the computer itself emit light? why do you have to go through all the func_illusionary and stuff?

Edit:

Oh fuck me sideways.

I'm so stupid, never mind me. I just tried out that map.

Did you also use that glow effect for some of the lights? I used the decal test to see, and some of the lights didn't show the decals.

Who cares, really. People die. And I'd rather have someone from hollywood dead than someone who actually makes a difference.

I agree completely, I'd rather some useless person from Hollywood die, than say....some person I talk to every once in a while.

And to these Hollywood people, I say, stop doing shit that causes you to die.

Dumbasses.

I haven't had a sex dream...ever...

Is this weird?

This has happened to me before, it scared the shit out of me.

I've gotta try this, but guess what? I gotta get to sleep, to go to school tomorrow! FUCK!

I'll try and download it tomorrow, or Thursday, but I might be hanging out with friends all day, both of those days, so Friday at the latest.

That's real cute potatis. =P

Psilous is high/drunk, Kraken is bipolar.

End of story.

Windows XP Home, 32 bit

It works best on nvidia cards, ati lags like hell...

Blah.

I got an ATI Radeon HD 3850

yeah, I cant take this anymore, the lag is unbearable, running in software mode made it a little better (emphasizing little) and D3D make it better still, but its still god awful.

Edit: just saw your post, want me to post some info about my graphics card?

There is no change game, but I got it working anyway.

And wow, after the first intro like sequence, right when I start in that elevator, a huge wave of lag is unleashed on me, as wpolys reach 4000 and epolys reach the 30000s

What?
