Yes , ok . I can currently run Colin Mcrae Dirt Demo with max details at a resolution of 1024x"Idon't know" with 30-40 fps . After installing 7.11 , will it be worse ?

I heard that Ati catalyst 7.11 version is the most stable , but my fear is that it will downgrade some of the video card abbilties and performance .

Well that's easy to say , but I don't have so much time for all those drivers . I've installed the driver that came on the CD in that package .

Hi all ! I just bought a new video card : Ati Radeon HD 4850 . My problem , is , sure .... a hammer editor problem . Yes I can select everything in the 3D view and I can use all the tools without problems . But it has a low framerate !!!! Does anybody know how to solve this problem ? ( I think it's a driver options problem , the settings with mipmapping , antialiasing bla bla bla ) .

Any help will be really appreciated . ( I think this happens because in hammer you can't set the video quality ... I guess ...)

Oh , and another thing : I can't run any half-life 1 game in OpenGL mode !!!!

wait wait wait , if the Robot can be animated , it's clearly that source mappers can make more advanced robots . ( and even AI controled robots , I don't know if this is possible in hammer , but in Garry's MOd is possible ..... but ummmm .... I think this is an entity challenge :D :D ) .

Anyway ... robot ? Too classic .

if you actually read what we just said you'd know that it wasn't. whatever, it's not our money you're spending.
Then what the fuck I'm supposed to do cuz I'm not super-intelligent . Initially i just wanted to buy a new Nvidia but then lots of people told me Hd4850 is much better bla bla bla . Can somebody tell me a good Nvidia that costs about 240 $ ? ( that is 600 lei in out country)

Ohhhh nooooooo and I was going to buy an Ati radeon Hd 4850 sometime nextweek !!!!!!!! ( I currently have an old Nvidia car 7600 GS , but Nvidia sucks at prices . Ati beats Nvidia here )
Ohhhh .... can somebody tell me what is the last ati driver that appeared ? I know 7.1 works with hammer but uh .... just for me to make an idea about this downgrade ( how much I downgrade from the current driver )

in GoldSource Mapping Tips Post #252009
Ok here are some of my other ideas :

6. Use models to give your map a more detailed feel ! Models can substitute world brushes . Just make some clip brushes over them to be "solid" . Example : some skeletons and big momma gibs in a scarry place would be fun and could also alert you about something that is going to happen soon .
There are animated models . For example : the "breather.mdl" model looks like a pump machine . Why not use it ? If you even want to make it feel "solid" you can add some transparent func_trains to it !

7. For many people "detail" means putting tens of crates in a map . Putting crates isn't a bad idea , I do this too , but I try to find ways of detailing with other objects . The problem is that putting crates is overused sometimes ( especially in counter-strike) . What the heck ? In the real world i don't see only crates as blocking objects . A rock can block my way , a pile of wood can block my way, some damaged cars can block my way etc ...... ( damaged cars are hard to reproduce from world brushes . Here's where the models save us from a lot of hassle : a model car and some clip brushes and you're done)

8. IF you're making a relatively small or medium map , you shouldn't worry about placing lots of entities . You make a house . You make some rooms . You make lights . Why not put some switches ?

9. More to come ....

Magix Music Maker is my response . The commercial one ( there are 2 versions) has lots of synthetisors.
I was thinking of an editor, that uses samples
Yep , Magix music maker is mostly based on sound loops .

whatever :P

[EDIT -Next day] wow , I set the speed of the train at 280 . You already saw the track and the tunnel in the screenshots . well , the time taken to travel through all that tunnel , at 280 u\s ( units per second , I believe that's the speed in hl ... :\ ) is 1 minute 28 sec . That's enough ( the tunnel is empty yet ) considering that it will be full with monsters . Or something else :D .

[EDIT - again :D ] Observe the similarity between the speed and the time :) :) . I calculated the time using my cellphone .

in Path tool problems Post #250981
Hi ! I;m working on my sven coop campaign , and as I expected , I'm experiencing some problems . one of these problems would be the path tool . I have to use it because I'm building long tunnels , with a lot of curves , and I can't use the path_track entity .
My problem is more of a question : Can I render the points appearing when creating paths with the path tool in the 3D view ? I'm going to explain why I need such a thing .

I built tunnels in the first level , too , but they weren't elevated . Now they are , in the second map . And the tunnel is very symmetrical that the path points lap each other and I can't distinguish between them .

A screenshot will tell you all :

I must somehow make the path of the train with the path tool . It's too hard to make one by one path_tracks .

I'm working on my sven coop campaign - after the compile , it enters sven coop , and the screen freezes after 2 seconds . What the hell ? This is a MOD map , how the hell it affects all the game ?! Halflife won't work and the other mods too ! This is very stupid .
