OK, I'm making a website and I have 2 questions. I am making the whole thing in flash and am just having the smallest of html, and that is what are "Commands" to change background color and align a FLASH file to the center of the page?

I sent u the textures in email

U dont unless its barney

lol its going to take a while to go through all those but thanks

Hey is there anyone I can email to host my texture pack? I don't have a website so some1 plz.

512 ram, 2-3ghz P4 proccessor, 128 graphics - cant think of anything else important about system. ive got enefough hard drive space - 13 gig

I keep getting this "memory alocation error" when compiling in the middle of qrad. I doesnt have to do with my computer does it ?

Hey I'm making a texture pack that I am hoping you will all like, hopefully u will see it in a day or 2

Dude making a website in HTML is a pain in the ass - that HTML For Dummies Book has collected dust from the last time I attempted at it. FLASH is the way to go when trying to make a cool site!

stop making things in winrar!!!

Ok, posting that up would be a waste of time, because no one is going to read through that whole thing! I was hoping it was a joke until I looked at it.

:/ doesnt seem like much skill to me

Lemme tell my part in this about getting an more expensive one. We bought a cheap, like 30 dollar thing (It was very skinny and we needed one and that was the skinnyest). It played about 3/4 of the dvd's that we got, and stopped at times in high action parts like you said. Well ovbiously we beat that one with a baseball bat after we bought a new one. Next we got a sony player for about 180$. We have never had a problem with it since.
And the quality of dvd's is so much better. Mostly if you have a... whats it called... I think its a coaxiall jack in the back that you hook up to your TV (fiber optic transmission), damn it looks good. Dvd's are great, but more fragile, but can be fixed unlike tapes with the purchase of a cd cleaing device to remove scratch's ect.

NO F***ING WAY! Call of Duty is fricken awsome graphics wise, you need a damn 128-256 graphics card damnet! There is no way that Half life could come close to producing what Call of Duty can, and I would congradulate the person who could make an half life map like that.

Well the screenshots look awsome, I have some Idea's to make it creepier. First thing, that is wayyyy to light, if you going to have zombies you have to have them come out of the dark! And this may involve coding (Im not sure if you would go this far), but make a static radio noise when they are around - my friend says they have something like that in Silent Hill 2. Oh yeah and use... whats his name ... w/e's Hammer model

I am a very creative mind.

you know what we be completely awsome? If someone made a drill that shoots nails to go with that! And then someone could make a home depot mini-mod. That would be the coolest thing ever!

omg i asked this like 2 months ago!!!

OMG! lol I asked that like a week ago

OK you know the building textures in the map cs_assault? I need things like that

OK, theres this bunch of textures that I dont know where they are from - they all start with tk_ ... All I can say is that (I think) they are mostly building textures.

Hey thanks for that site, theres alot of interesting stuff

Hey does anyone have a car, or brokendown car prefab? Or if it was in one of your maps can you copy and paste it and send it to me via email? PLEASE?

Hey thanks all of you , I just basically looked around the area those quardinates were and there was a triangle there that was giving me errors earlier so I just deleted it and everything was cool.

Wow you made your own 2D Game Engine? Sounds cool

Trust me I looked in my own log, but I dont know how to find quardinates and face #'s - lil instruction please?

humm I could throw some theories that I dont think matter, I am just testing out a part of the map, like 1/4 of it ive made so far. Basically I just decided that it was time to test part of it so I added lights, spawns, and a skybox around it and tried to play. There are not walls blocking the reach of the sky, you can walk right onto it if you want even though I doubt that it matters cause I'm using zoner's tools.

I did the Alt+P thing and it found nothing

Incase you didn't know, that is problem checker... Oh great, I have some impossible bug... I really dont want to go into Xtreme debugging.

Sigh Heres My log, look all the way at the bottom

I did the Alt+P thing and it found nothing. Could it be the fade texture / additive because didn't use the fade texture for the whole sunbeam thing. I deleted the only possible textlight (I think it was the only one) and it still isnt working :

thats better

despite what Worldcraft dude says ... hey im logged in why am i anonymous

OK, I keep getting this damned error - Could not load engine.dll or something like that... I really do not want to re-install halflife.

OK, I know how to do mostly everything, but I really am lacking in the head ... humm kinda made fun of myself there... Anyway, who wants to cough up map ideas please?

Sigh, how do you make it so that when you walk up to a door, all it does is make the locked noise? I know how to do it one way but something tells me there is another way.

Sigh, just cant wait

Oh hell yes, Gundam Wing was the best, the next two gundams after that sucked, and I havent seen the newest gundam even though it looks most like the old, awsome one.

Its so fricken realistic. Like in the "Trapcity" movie, they show the guy run into a room. Press use to close the door, and the push a table in front of the door so the person can get it. That is until they shoot the door open(or kick im iside so I dont see). You run up the stairs and then block them off by throwing a bed mattress at a pile of junk using a new type of "gun". Next your out on a roof and first you shoot this crane thing and it starts swinging - and killing all the people bleow. Some more rush out of an alley and then you throw a grenade at this train cart, it tips over and crushes the rest of the opposition. Finally you go down and go into one of the "alleys" and get to this one section where you kill one guy. You run to this blade thing and by hitting it, it causes it to swing slightly making a squeaking noise as it turns little by little. Then zombie things start coming from everywhere. Once they get close you find a switch on the fan thing to turn it on. It takes care of most of the opposition with and awsome blood spray. But it didn't kill one, one is crawling at you without a pair of legs (AWSOME!). You run a little and then more are coming from this street. You shoot a cars gas tank thing (im assuming thats where the shot went all i know is you shot the car) and it explodes making the car fly forward killing all the zombies there either by the awsome fire or the impaling of the car. Then it ends.
LOL, I went a lil farther with that then I was expecting too. If anyone wants a sequel with the other things described tell me I was just awstruck at the amazing ness of that! Hey if anyone knows of anything else awsome about it please share. I heard the game was supossed to come out in July, is that right?

Dude I just saw a bunch of movie clips on a cd that I got when I bought CS : CZ. OMFG ITS AWSOME LOOKING! You people ought to see the graphic's and all the realnessness of it! Damn its amazing! Hey when is the latest release date, isn't it supossed to be in July?

Well I have an idea. If you take one of the Counter-Terrorist models from cs, and just re-texture them green, it will be fine. If you do the texturing right they will look just like little soldiers. Now I cannot say the same about weapons, you need to figure that one out. I found this website one time, it told you how to code 50+ things off all sorts all you need is a compiler.
And for my contribution to this, I know this is lame sounding but if your making a de_rats style map I (not to brag) am the person you would want. I have made 2 rats map (1 exact copy of my bedroom, and the other one I am working on right now is my bedroom but not a copy by far (its cooler).

how do I open a rar file?

yeah I noticed this also cause I used a wrong config and made a hl map and it ran that in counterstrike- i had the item_longjump in cs lol

: I keep looking for a song but I cant find any that are short enefough and I dont have any sort of music editor so that I could cut down part of a song!!! Someone please!

Lol if only that were true. Is there any easier way to find a leak? I am assuming that my problem is a leak because everything is on fullbright. I dont understand how though because I made a big box (Not a Sky) around the level and hollowed it out and it didn't work!!! Please Help!!!

Humm, so you can use them as prefabs ehh? OK, now say I make a map called Hamster World . I create a model of a hamster and stuff (pretend I am good lol) and I can make everyone look like a hamster in the multiplayer game??? Without creating a mod(I would think you would need too)

lol, dude do you think you could send me one of your waves? email it to davideo59@aol.com please

OK, well I am just curious about what you can do with models you make. I haven't downloaded the model editor because I really see no point in using models. Could I make an model of a person or something and then use it as a player model? What do they do?

(I do not care about rights, ARRESTED I SHALL BE!!!)
Well I wasn't thinking really about a certain type of music, just a sort of beat... Yeah...

OK, the map im making has a radio and you can turn it on. I want to have a song that plays in repeat when u turn it on but I cant find one lol. Last one I tried was over 6 meg and didnt work (ovbiously) lol, any songs that people have used that would work would be appreciated!

well, it makes the sky like a "water" thing

um did you guys mean game_player_equip
