DM_Cybrain & TDM_Cybrain is map of the month for September 2012!Can we make this at least a yearly thing?

We had a tournament for favorite HL chapter which is very similar to what you are proposing.

Mainly because I wanted to create something. I remember seeing all the Quake 2 levels when I was a kid and wanted to make something of my own, so that's how I got into it. Later switched from Q2 to CS.
Have not released a level in almost a decade though

I believe he got confused over what we were talking about.
There is a limit for map names, but I don't know it.

Your entry must be for the Steam version of one of the following games: Half-LifeSo vanilla steam HL. Also you can only submit a .bsp.

in Is it me? Or is it hard to make textures for Goldsource? Post #340437
in Is it me? Or is it hard to make textures for Goldsource? Post #340437
I feel quite the opposite, to me Source looks like more troublesome to get textures right.
Here's the basic gist of it:
Make sure your texture sizes are a power of 2 (16, 32, 64...) up to 512px.
Open wally, create a new wad and drag all the textures to it, to make it easier create the wad directly in your mods folder.
If you don't want to mess with res files (lets face it who does?) use -nowadtextures or -wadinclude compile options to include your textures in the bsp directly.
There's something about the texture color too, but I don't know off the top of my head now.

Yeah I've got that running on my server, It works though the movement feels jerky since the plugin isn't that fast at detecting it I guess. I'd love a native option

I think they should have just stuck with it either on or off (a cvar maybe) rather than having it then after a while disabling it etc...
What it does is it just lowers the skill ceiling, I personally enjoy seeing people just fly across maps and I think it should be as an option for servers.

in Do you love playing with crossbow in HLDM as well as me? Post #340358
The only thing that annoys me with the crossbow is the zoom (there might be some way to go around it, but its out of the scope here) other than that its a great gun.
Q2/Q3's railgun did 100 damage to non armored enemies, they dumbed that down in Quake Live to 80 as far as I remember which made it more fun imo, since now you had to hit 2 shots or splash the f*cker with RL afterwards
It really comes down to personal preference and skill level, that's why multiple weapons exist in the first place. Having only one gun or all guns be 100% accurate just wouldn't make the game fun. That being said the egun should really die in hell.

@tschumann They utilize the wait command in the command queue to delay a level change when you enter a changelevel trigger, then they save the game with different relative position to the land_mark (being able to move around the level before it changes) once the other level is loaded they load the game and poof you are somewhere else on the new level or something like that, that's how I understood it.
While I'm not a really big fan of speedruns, I do enjoy GDQ, SGDQ (and derivatives) mostly for the commentary that goes along with the run.
Segmented runs like this though, not so much.

Its all entirely possible It just comes down to how good a coder can "navigate" the jungle that is Source.
I've been toying with the dialog idea for some time and how it could be made to work with Source, though mine was way scaled up with impact for future interactions, open other dialog trees etc... But it was just an idea.
Would love to see something like this happen.

2010 was still 4 years away from EOL. Back then it was a pretty current OS, 7 was still rising after the Vista flop.
Only thing XP is still needed for these days is hardware machine control, cnc mills etc... Machines which are very expensive to replace to justify switching to anything newer.
I would be surprised who would even be able to use XP as a daily driver these days.

I like Residue Processing that it gives a feeling where you can catch a breath before the action picks up again. However if your'e not a fan of platforming like me the conveyor level seems like it was made by the devil himself.
Tough one. Im going with Core.
Dislike both, one is frustrating with low HP the other is a maze I always get lost in. So OaR because trains.
FAF for me too.
I never quite got why it seemed like all the games from the 90's had to end in a singular big boss fight. HL's boss is probably the worst one out there in terms of looks and placement, feels like they just had to cross that one off the TODO list.

Inbound hands down.
Xen was always just weird for me, I guess its supposed to be, but nevertheless organic shapes were not a thing the engine (everyones PC's) could handle back then and a lot was left for the head to filter and make pretty.

So it beat me there too
Still one of the better horror games I've played.

Its not very user friendly, unless it changed in the past 12 years since I used it 
@Windawz Yeah maybe Jack is better, back when I used to do Quake levels Jack didn't exist.
Quake as a very similar file structure to HL. The Steam release is packed in .pak files (essentially glorified zip archives), but inside them the folder structure is the same.
Anyway get the Steam release, copy all the game files to another directory, delete the quake2.exe that it comes with or not, get Q2Pro or R1Q2 and go nuts.
Get Quark for level editing. Coding is usually only needed to make MP mods so no worries there. Not that there's much to improve in the game anyway.

When you are used to a particular style of interface others seem weird and uncomfortable until you get used to them, maybe its better I just don't know.
As far as piracy goes I would rather pay that amount and get the app plus updates than risk having the crack installing who knows what else

Its 10$ per month which is really decent tbh.
I'm not a fan of SaaS myself and if all you are going to do is textures I don't think its worth it, so Gimp is a good alternative to that.

Valve is now in the business of making money rather than games.
By now the "flat" hierarchy has inherently turned back to a normal upside-down tree with developers that stuck to teams for their specific games (CS, DOTA, TF2 apparently is still a thing) nobody wants to or can move around that freely anymore. This is speculation though.
Anyway the fact of the matter is selling a few skins it takes a day to make is much more worth it than selling a game that takes years (decades) to make.

I figured. Anyway an interesting choice.
Checksums would probably be better in this situation.
Depending on how the API works it might be possible to engineer an authentication system so that only TWHL members could join or have permissions to do stuff etc...
