People are natural born A.D.D. retards that crave flashy blinky lights, one button 56 hit comboes, explosions with gore, dollar menues, ragdoll physics, and screenshots/videos.

ragdoll physics
W00T!

Ah, I may have missed the point there.

Not really, people like things that are new.

I was tempted to make a cynical remark containing the word 'furry', but instead I will just agree with Strider.

Sigh

All this whining will not speed up the arrival of media, you know.

M_gargantua, are you finished with your chapter, quitting, or just waiting?

I was 95% done last year. Whee 1900 posts, something is wrong here.

Completed maps should be send to me, but be sure to include ALL your custom content and make sure your map runs without errors.

What would you guys say if i asked you to take down all current media, re-take shots & upload a-fresh with Rimrook's logo on them?

just wondering.

I honestly think finishing the maps should be the top priority right now, above taking screenshots or updating the mod's profile. It's like having the moviemakers work on the promotional posters when there's still filming to do, right?
Posted 16 years ago2007-06-22 15:05:00 UTC Post #226154
maybe, but you heard the people complain about lack of media, and they're the people we're trying to please.

In a way, you're right.
But I'd prefer to see Hl2:Episode 2 released sooner instead of being shown more screenshots or trailers.
Posted 16 years ago2007-06-23 05:30:52 UTC Post #226238
Taking/watermarking/uploading new screenshots would take all of 5 minutes each.

I think people can wait an extra 5 minutes for HL:HS.

Yeah, but trailers can take some time. Plus, even though a map may look complete in a screenshot, it's not necessarily that way in real life. The one screenshot I have released right now had to be carefully framed so that you couldn't see all the background work, and it wasn't in working condition at all... it just looked like it.
Posted 16 years ago2007-06-23 05:46:19 UTC Post #226242
Who needs trailers?

Yeah, the way i use screens and media is to keep people knowing i'm still at work on the project and that there is progress.

If you're rounding down on the deadline, Kasperg is right. The focus should be completion and polishing.

Make the vHunterv part bigger and the "Clicky" part fill up almost the entire horizontal space.

The clicky button comes in several varieties and changing the size of the text now would make the others too big.

These clicky buttons that you people have started using are pointless and annoying. :/

Posted 16 years ago2007-07-10 21:18:11 UTC Post #228307
Not really, they're kinda nice. It just need to be centered in the thread and really emphasize the clicky text.
Posted 16 years ago2007-08-26 15:47:42 UTC Post #232952
Is this mod dead or what??
Posted 16 years ago2007-08-26 16:42:48 UTC Post #232956
nope.

running pretty smoothly right now.

And (if you did end up using it, mate) Daubeh has come up with a map which blows minds, so yay for that.

I'm sure he'll get some media out soon. I, unfortunately can't map with Vista, so i'll have to wait until i get a partitioned XP on this machine before i can make any updates on the mapping side which is a pain, but since i'm pretty much finished my chapter anyway, it's not going to hold back the mod.

Actually, come to think of it, I do...

By the way, my progress is going to be unbearably slow now that school has started for me.

Doesn't matter too much, srry, it'll be 2013 before this mod is finished.

..and that'll make you the first HL mod that has been released since 2009. :sarcastic:
Posted 16 years ago2007-08-30 06:18:58 UTC Post #233128
Bah, its all the custom content that is delaying this mod, i officially hate C++ now, there's no info on pepper's weapon models.

And my map, is kinda lost... FFS!

then re-make it or quit.

Seriously, i want this fucker finished.
no more messing around. If you don't do the work - you're off the team.
Muzz, in your case you could maybe just concentrate on coding at let someone else do the map?
Or are you still happy doing both?
Archie ArchieGoodbye Moonmen
Posted 16 years ago2007-08-30 13:27:54 UTC Post #233146
No, i prefer to map. Coding is sucky.
I can still do your characters, but thats all, im not doing any more coding request for HLHS.

If Peppers's custom weapons arnt close to completion, i say we ditch them.

As for my map, i hope i still have a backup copy somewhere on my backup discs somewhere.
In that case i might continue.

Are you guys even half-done?
Posted 16 years ago2007-08-30 15:11:46 UTC Post #233160
I'm afraid i lost most, if not all of my work. I had no acces to a computer for 3 months, and in the process of installing the new one the drive with the models got fucked up. I also lost the guitar model for the modeling competition....
Posted 16 years ago2007-08-30 20:47:04 UTC Post #233185
MuzzleFlash, I have the RMF for that map, I believe. I actually requested it from you as reference material for my chapter.

And yes, I'd personally say that the mod is 80-90 percent done.
Posted 16 years ago2007-08-31 01:24:48 UTC Post #233188
I don't even find this funny anymore. I used to laugh everytime I view'd this thread, but now, I just feel sorry for you guys. Just pull those huge thumbs out of your asses and just you know, finnish it! So that I can choose to not download it!
Posted 16 years ago2007-08-31 02:20:00 UTC Post #233191
Stop being a tosser, Tosse.

I think most of the team would prefer to release on completion rather than release a half assed, bug filled mod. This may mean the mod dies, or it may mean it'll be years to release.

Kinda strange that you're not interested but you're still so eager for them to finish it.

gtfo.

Damn the both of you. Quit with the god complex Tosse, and stop attacking absolutely everything he says, Trapt. You're both needlessly damaging TWHL.

It's not my fault that he is incredibly stupid. Blame his parents.

Though if he follows your instructions and stops being an arrogant tard, I won't have to attack everything he says.

So there, it's not up to me, it's up to Tosse.

No, it's up to you too - you can CHOOSE not to comment.

And what you just posted was nothing more than childish talkback, like you always have to have the final word. Just stop it.

@ Srry: nevermind, i found my version! Yay!

@ Pepper: Thats a shame... Well, i guess its default weapons from now on ( and i don't have a problem with the default low def weapon models at all).

@ all: I know we lack the most important task of team modding: communication and clarifying ourgoals. Also, we had a lot of HLHS members leave the team while other TWHL joined. This caused a major slowdown of the mod.
I will promise you, that once this mod is finished and released, we probably gonna start another singleplayer project, and this time do it the correct way!

Ain't that right, Hunter.

Get your shit together! Find out exacly what you have left to do and then figure out ways to do it! ...Wait, that was bloody obvious. You do what you do best!

It's been like two years now, hasn't it?
I do want this mod to get finnished, I don't think that I'll enjoy it that much though, it's far too half-lifeish, but that doesn't mean that I don't want you to finnish it! HL needs quality mods, and this is still a quality mod as far as I know.

Offtopic part
@Strider: God complex? Come on dude, it's the internet.

@Trapt: You don't bother me.
