So with approximation, my turn will be on Tuesday-Wednesday. That's good, I couldn't in the weekend anyway.
I think the wizard on the install window is actually drawn in Paint. That looks so ancient...
Somebody ought to optimize the drawing interface and extend it a bit. It proves to be too small a lot of time, and there's no damn fill button!
Also, a good idea would be if they let people upload scanned documents. I'm already horrible at drawing, I'm even more when using a mouse that makes my palm hurt!
Fantasy Baseball Fail(actually I had to draw a nyan-cat)

That'd be totally wrong. Blocks on the floor can simply be illustrated by a texture.
We should propose that.
Aw man, it's hard loosing such a gentle companion. My condolences go to you :(.
I think it will happen from time to time that members from TWHL will get in the same game. I did with 38_98 in "fisting".
:rly:
[EDIT] Ok here are 3 games I created( after I was finally able to):
Earthworm Jim discusses science with Einstein
Minecraft creeper hates his job
Astronaut discovers banana tree on Mars

Yeah anyone who want to see my absent skills is welcome...
Adding you guys now.

Rimrook, I don't have problems with the compiling either when this happens.
The odd thing is that if I switch to "3D texture" from "3D shaded texture polygons", the textures render again normally :/.

OH NO(heavy voice) NOT ANOTHER PROCRASTINATION TOOL!
Well, at least I can practice my non-existent drawing skills.
[EDIT] Btw how do you actually get points? I completed 2 games already and have no points.

Well I can tell from experience that trying to copy-paste cubes is definitely not going to work. In a map the size of a big room you're already going to experience low FPS.
Unfortunately if you really want to make a map like that you're going to have to trace the outline of the cubes, which is some tedious work. But there are more problems involved: it's also how vvis computes the viewable space or how vrad computes the light. Even if you're going to transform those "cubes" in func_detail brushes, vrad is still going to do a lot of calculations. I suppose that's not a big issue with your brand new processor though...
Or perhaps use prop_static cube props? I never tried that, it might work, but then again you'll fill up your map quickly and it won't be very playable...

I heard Raspberry Pi can actually be used as a media center since it can play blu-ray quality video. The problem is that it's not easily available yet and Ubuntu is not compatible with the ARM processor it's using, so you'll have to rely on Debian or Archlinux or something.
A major advantage is that RP only uses about 3W as far as I know.
Anyway, this is more for experienced users than for somebody who wants a media center to be installed quickly.

I agree with that, but whoever wants to do that should be decisive and quick.
The problem is that it randomly does this, and to a lot of brushes. I already tried setting the texture "to face" or "to world" but it doesn't solve anything.
Excuse me, from what I can see in your posts, you guys prefer buying complete systems rather than assembling them piece by piece?
You're loosing all the fun. And some money too.

It looks too flat, but I don't want to disturb too much its simple functionality, so guys, what do you propose I should do to make this area look more interesting?
I have to finish this map already, I've been working on and off on it for a year now.
I remember I used SVN in the past for different gmod luamods. Standard PHX models and wiremod mainly, it was a pain in the ass to keep them up-to-date otherwise. Now PHX is integrated in gmod by default, and I think wiremod too.
Here I took some photographs of microscopic cells(first one is actually a cephalocordata) and grains of copper sulfate that remind me of the minerals in starcraft:
I don't have a microscope, but you can read the story of how I took these on my blog.
So I finished 10 hours early then, but sacrificed mapping quality. Going to bed now, see you again, hopefully better, on the third pass, dear map!
You didn't understand man, I was talking about sealing my own modifications :P.
Seems like I got the stupid vrad.exe 0% CPU. AWESOME!
Well, I sent the map to CT. Couldn't add a lot of modifications, I just extended one of the streets. I only now realize how unfair is this 24-hour schedule( I really needed to analyze the map before it was my turn... oh well).
Expecting to do more on the third pass.

I'm able to deliver tomorrow evening. I kind of picked it up at around 6pm, but I don't have a leak free version yet, and tomorrow I'm leaving home and only returning evening.
[EDIT] I hope you're not counting night as those 12 hours CT.

I stand corrected, I was referring to DOF.
So you mean that the blur that results from the depth of field is named bokeh.

Well as I remember you have a really high-end processor(i7?). Mine is an E6500. I'm going to compile without vis while I work at it.
12 minutes for vvis? Wtf, this is a small map!
All right, gonna get this job done.
Thank you. It's odd that I'm not yet used to using the term 'bokeh'. I always think about 'FOV' when thinking about that blur.
I lol'd at Archie's photo.

60 pages is approaching 100? In figures it's kind of close, but it's going to take a long time [Given how active this thread is] for it to reach 100.
At this rate it'll take another 5 or 6 years.For me it's 99 pages already. You probably have more posts per page set.

Yep, VLC does a really great job at playing various media formats. I still have Winamp installed though, probably just because I'm used to it( but then 90% of the time I use Winamp just to stream radio...).

You're not being very helpful Collapse. I already told that I'd buy myself an external hard drive but I'm stuck with this thing. And I'm going to use it.
Flash memory wears out over time, dies quick. I am just telling you to be careful. It can die at any age or any circumstance. Plus when the disc is full of files it slows it down.Then what about SSDs? I mean, I totally understand you, I could expect a cheap flashdrive to fail at any moment, but not this one. I think this one has a greater lifespan.
I have an A-Data Jogr 2GB USB 2.0 flashdrive that I bought in 2008 and I've been using it ever since. I did an error-scan today and it reported no problems. I suppose I can trust even more this new stick, as it's newer technology :).
Then I am a survivor. I win the show.
Don't use small memory sticks, they will die as soon as the warranty expires.I'm talking about a Kingston USB 3.0 128gb flashdrive. It's not exactly small, and not exactly bad quality either.
Can't you password protect 7zip archives?Archives take a lot to be compressed. It's an impractical solution for gigabytes of data.
TrueCryptSince I'm talking about high amounts of data, possibly leaving only a quarter of the flashdrive with free space, is this going to slow a lot the transfer speeds?
I've decided I won't sell after all that 128gb stick that I've won, it's more of a niche market product and there are few people that could actually want to invest in such a thing, since portable hard-disks are a much more attractive alternative. If somebody actually offered to buy this from me I would invest part of the money in a portable HDD that I'd use for back-up. Meh... to keep me happy, I've got excellent portability and excellent transfer speeds(it's a USB 3.0 compatible device)
The problem is that if I'm going to use this as a form of backup(mainly for my photos, which would already occupy half of the stick space), I'd also like to protect it somehow. A portable hard-disk is harder to lose, but a minuscule thing like this memory stick is more prone to being lost. As such, I want to protect that data somehow.
I know there isn't software that renders the stick totally unusable- it can be formatted and be used again. But that doesn't bother me, the data was deleted so I won't be afraid somebody would use my data.
Basically what I need is some kind of software that asks me for a password, possibly a customizable welcoming screen( with an email in case it's lost and found by a good guy greg), and optionally some level of encryption.
TL;DR Want to use a memory stick for backup and normal use. Need password encryption software.
Any ideas?

Eventually, it bugged out my video card and games claimed they couldn't recognise my video card.Seems to be an isolated case. No, I am not defending AMD here, nor am I an AMD fanboy. I had a Nvidia GeForce 7600GS in the past and I acknowledge the quality of Nvidia's drivers.
But some people describe AMD video cards as being garbage, which is completely not true.
Urby you're speaking of the past. The name "Ati" isn't even used anymore, as Ati was bought by AMD. Hammer works perfectly now, it was a driver issue.
Well, I just can't. I'm sorry. Schedule me for Sunday maybe...
It's such a shame I couldn't do it last Friday. It was my best free day these weeks :(.

Hey Dimbark, you can even be late *cough or delay it *cough by a few hours :). Don't rush it mate ;). I'll be here tomorrow evening confirming if I can or can't these days. Again, if I can't, I hope I will be scheduled for saturday evening until sunday evening.
I really can't... sorry. Tomorrow I'll be out filming a video project. I might be able to do it Thursday or Friday, but I have to confirm this.
If I won't be able then you'll have to reschedule me for perhaps saturday night-> sunday afternoon. (GMT+3)(but not later! I'm loosing the fun if you'll already be going through the second pass!)
I'll come back tomorrow evening on this thread to see what's happening and to confirm. I don't understand how everything went so fast, my turn was supposed to be Thursday or Friday anyway...

For that price I could build an airplane. This computer costs nearly 800$ and features a crappy Hd7450 graphics card, which is low-end. I hate these kind of offers where some aspects are ridiculously bloated while others seem to be neglected.
If I was building the computer I'd save money by buying only 6gb of memory( also 10gb seems like an unusual configuration) and a 500gb hard-drive, since they're so expensive right now. I'd then have the money for a more decent graphics card, like Radeon HD7750 which is way better.

Good. Mystery solved.
Why does Archie's site appear to be loading when I hit F5 on TWHL? I didn't see any image that would be related to Archie's site at the time...
On the second pass I don't care when my turn will be, since it will either be a mostly free week or already the holidays. But this week is going to be mad.
Then it's Dimbark and then me? Fuck, I don't know how I'll cope with this. I told you Friday was my best free day around these weeks and I've wasted it on nothing.
I might have a heavy schedule this week but when it's my turn I hope I'll be able to do it. Else, I'll just have to do it Sunday.
