Hi all, As u might know, i bought half-life2 right this day, and i also visited the twhl's dm2 server, and i was realy amazed by the grafic and also i was amazed the a could get any frags in the lags :P

any ways, i wanted to ask you:

If i make a hl2:dm map, what should i include in it?

What program opens hl2 model files and what format do the hl2 use for the models.

What format is used instead of the .wad's

Which character/player should i use in the options menu? :P just curious of this one

Well thnx.!
Also sorry if i miss-spelt somthing

Download Source SDK in tools section and you will get all you need..

*Model file opener is included in SDK and is called half-life modelviewer.
*Models have the format .mdl
*There is no texture pakages.. All textures are saved separatly as vtf's.
*Metro police ftw

With automatic spellchecking now added to FireFox, you'd have to intentionally ignore these misspellings... don't know about Opera though. If you're using Internet Explorer, just die.

uhh, how did i miss spelt any thing, and there isnt any spell checkers in fireforx.

any ways, do u people here worry more about the spellings or the topic? or is it just that you have nothing to say so u worry about other people's spellings? well if thats so then why just not post stupid things and get to the topic?

Are you using Firefox 2.0+?

In any text field, if you type a word, and misspell it, it will underline it in red. Then you do the same thing as you would in Microsoft Word. Right-Click to get the correct spelling.

What I mean is you typed witch instead of which. Kinda a joke. Also it'd help if you typed you instead of u.

But back on topic use Elite Model. Because it's Elite.

What the hell? Are you people crazy? It's not an extension at all! I didn't have to install anything extra to get it... just go to Options > Advanced and in the General tab, check the "check my spelling as I type" box. It's a default feature of FireFox 2.0, not an extension. It was on by default for me, but if not, do turn it on.
any ways, do u people here worry more about the spellings or the topic? or is it just that you have nothing to say so u worry about other people's spellings? well if thats so then why just not post stupid things and get to the topic?
Jesus Christ, do you read anything you type up? A few spelling errors isn't a problem, but with people like you, it becomes impossible to understand what you're even trying to say. I assure you, we're not nit-picking. This IS a problem.

No it isn't. I can understand him just fine and no, english is not my first language.

His spelling errors are just annoying, that's all.

Neither of those quotes made any sense, and that's just from this thread. I refuse to believe that in the second quote he was actually confused as to whether he had misspelled anything, even though that's definitely what it sounds like.

Well, that's quite some deduction you've made there... next time I'm having trouble interpreting severely broken English, maybe I'll just start questioning my heterosexuality instead. :
why are u even bothered
I'm bothered because your frequent misspellings and grammatical errors get on my nerves. All I ever did was suggest you enable spellchecking, and it had to turn into this. I'm also aware that English is not your primary language.
just get on the topic!!! :furious:
Wasn't the topic basically over after THE FIRST POST, when your questions were answered? The subject has changed, and I see no reason why we can't use this thread for an alternate discussion now... am I mistaken?

Well if u would have read all of my post, you would know that i already did enable it and i am checking every post of mine!

and god, u don't read what i say, you just read the first sentence of the post and say something dumb.

And no. the topic isn't over.
Mad cow only answered a few questions. I'm still waiting answers to these:

What should i include in a death match map?

What player should i chose in the options menu?

and a few extras:

what entity makes an object able to be picked up by 'e' button and/or that weapon... dunno the name

What should i include in a death match map
Weapons, health and energy (chargers or items), item_ammo, info_player_deathmatch, good balance in the previous things and good architecture and layout for it all.
What player should i chose in the options menu?
Does it matter? You're not going to see it unless your character dies. Don't choose the Elite soldier, since the white outfit is easy to spot over the hl2 dirty textures.
what entity makes an object able to be picked up by 'e' button and/or that weapon... dunno the name
Prop_physics_multiplayer and func_physbox can be picked up with E, by the gravity gun or just shot at depending on their size and weight. Textures affect the weight of the physboxes. A block with a wooden texture would hurt less than one with a Combine metal texture.

Thanks kasperg :)

well i was always choosing the elite soldier :D guess ill have to chose the prison guard then :)

No, you're completely wrong. I've read all your posts thoroughly and understand what you've done, and proceeded to not say anything dumb. The only thing I didn't realize was that all your questions hadn't been answered.

Funny thing is though, what you're pointing out here is what we've been saying that you're not doing (although not in this thread necessarily.)

I'll be quiet now though, as there's no reason for me to continue.

Hey one more question!

you know, there are a few barrel models, eg. the blue barrel.

in the game iv seen loads of those and you can pick then up by the gravity gun.

i was wondering. if its a model, how can it be picked up by the gravity gun?

is it the cycler_actor entity? or is it just an ordinary brush with the same texture as the model?

Make a prop_physics_multiplayer, and choose the oildrum model. You can then change the skin (0,1,2,3 etc) to choose the rusty, white, blue and other versions.
If you choose the oildrum explosive model, it will automatically behave as an explosive barrel.

And that's why I'm staying away from your mad admin powers :)

Also Ghetto perhaps include physic traps like a shelf above a door that falls when shot.
