i tried a couple of times joining the server and I noticed alot of the times i join a CUSTOM map the view motion starts to jitter abit and it is a bit difficult to turn with the mouse. seems like the map is running a bit slow. i know this isn't because of internet lag because i get it when playing the maps single player. is this attributed to the r_speed thingie/poor level optimisation everyone talks about? and i don't have a particularly slow pc either; i can run HL2 on high video configurations almost smoothly. also does anyone ever play on this server? :)I never see any players on it.
Posted 14 years ago2009-08-10 07:39:55 UTC Post #271805
What video mode are you in and what gfx card are you running?
I've had zero problems with r_speeds on any of the maps.

I tried using templateman, but I have no idea how to set up the textures (as in, get what I want into those boxes).

Well i've been working on the face. I cant seem to get the wrap around working properly.
Once i get the face done i'm just going to keep throwing colors in there, updating the bmp and refreshing the texture in JEDS til i see something happening.

Havent worked on it since friday.. Might do it today as i have nothing better to do. Of course i might also have another 5 hours TF2 spree.
Havent decided yet. Let's see how todays day at work goes.

Radeon X1650 Series (ATI Radeon Graphics Processor AGP (0x71C1))
video moded D3D rendered 32 bit 1280 x 1024.

An example map like ancient_box is when facing the center i get the jittering.

See you're using a radeon... Idk if that's the problem but it just seems to me that ATI doesnt like half life anymore.
I think this may be related to the hammer 3.4 selection errors that have been occuring.. What if you switch to open GL?

Idk why people are having lag problems..
Im not having anything, but my system is far from sparce - dual core 2.8ghz Geforce 8800GTS, 4gig corsair extreme RAM

:-/

It's not ping related? Virus? bad sector somewhere? did you defrag half life?
Your computer?

Sorry I can't make the template any more simple.
Think of the templates as a wireframe for a pelt that gets wrapped around the mesh. That's kinda what it is anyway.

I have yet to do one myself. :D

The template is fantastic! Everything is laid out nicey nice. And it's quite easy to predict where each modification will land on the model.

I'm just stuck trying to get my face wrapped around the model properly.

no it's just with few of the custom maps i've tried. I also tried OpenGL and no difference. And i just recently formatted my entire HDD. I think the problem has something to do with the map. Try if anyone else gets the same prob at ancient_box?

PS. Ill be at the TWHL HLDM server today at 18:00 UTC/GMT time so if anyone is interested to join me.. I'll leave after 15 min if nobody joins.

Oh, uhm... I can update it so the head is all one piece with no seams... but not everyone knows how to flatten a face out, that's why its in two parts right now. The face part and the hair part.

Is that what the problem is?

Well, the main problem is i'm trying to take 3 pictures of my face, and kinda like.. lay it out flat...

Im seeing a bunch of tutorials for making the unwrap, but not a lot for texturing...

I have a problem with the AMX mod the server is using. Whenever there is a menu appearing, I can only select choices numbered 1-5 but not 6-9 and 0.
Posted 14 years ago2009-08-11 06:17:46 UTC Post #271841
It's not AMX itself, it's your keyboard binds. Half-Life doesn't set weapon slot's 6-10, as there is no weapon slots 6-10 in the game, so you basically need to bind them.

So number 6 = "slot6", number 7 = "slot7" and so on. For 0 on the menu you need to bind 0 to "slot10"

Post your #'s! ! ! Im sick of entering the server with no one else to frag! 832-771-0836. Call me and tell me to join. Do not text me thow, im already over for this month. Im always down to play, I work tom and the next day thow.
Posted 14 years ago2009-08-15 14:31:00 UTC Post #272004
just announce your gaming intentions on the Shoutbox like about 1 hour in advance before you intend to play. by doing this i have ALWAYS had at least one other dude to play against. But i would love to see someone come up with a more organized way of gathering players at the server.

Looking at the server stats it seems like ? of the players are from USA, which sucks for me cause i live in the GMT+2 time zone.
Posted 14 years ago2009-08-15 17:21:22 UTC Post #272008
How about each day at around 10 or 12 GMT? Who can make that time?
Posted 14 years ago2009-08-15 17:47:01 UTC Post #272010
PM? I can.

Thanks. That's 8 or 10 here... Sure, I might be able to catch a game there sometime.

EDIT: Wait, did you mean 10 or 12 am or pm?

EDIT MRK. II: Upon looking at the server stats, I realised I don't know shit about clans and all that crap. I am not web savvy.

If that is PM then it is simply out of the question for me. but AM would be fine.
Posted 14 years ago2009-08-16 04:23:59 UTC Post #272021
Its pm, theres no way it would be AM for me or any american because that would make it at least 7 am.
Posted 14 years ago2009-08-16 04:27:44 UTC Post #272022
hmm maybe there should be a another timeslot for european members, since 50% of the members here are american and the rest mainly european.

It's good if the arranged timeslots could be added to the server's MOTD. As for the european time i would suggest 18:00 GMT
Posted 14 years ago2009-08-16 18:30:56 UTC Post #272043
The map im working on for the server right now is freaking sweet! I may post screenies but I may just make it a surprise.

I missed any game that might have gone on today. Twas at mine grandmother's.

By the way, admins of the TWHL Steam group can set weekly events over Steam to pop up and remind everyone who's a member of the group. It'd be much easier than logging in to TWHL and seeing "HLDM NAO!"

I was going to suggest somebody adding a module or something to the site to let members and visitors know that a game is starting or whatever. I forgot about the steam community because my brain is made of spatulas and corn.

Well in that case non-TWHL players won't know about the arranged times. But nevertheless it's a good idea. I must say though that I doubt an arraged timeslot for EVERYDAY would be so pratical. That would probably result in a more scattered playing pattern in terms of days, and we really can't expect anyone to play everyday! So if for example a playing time would be set for only once or twice a week then more people will be more likely to end up in the server at the same time.

I'm sorry, why is that a problem? People join if the server is busy anyway.

What would be a cool feature would be perks and achievements on TWHL profiles in the forum. Say I killed Huntey 20 times without him killing me: A message appears in mine and his TWHL profiles

"Huntey is Urby's bitch"

This will never happen obviously, but it would be funny. :D

After taking a look at the stats recently, I'd like to draw your attention to a summary of the server's daily connections.

As of August 4th, activity is virtually nill. That's annoying.
Posted 14 years ago2009-08-22 22:34:55 UTC Post #272382
It's because everyone has stopped saying "HLDM NAO!!!".

EDIT: I was trying to join the server just then, it got to "verifying resources", then just stayed there. Am I doing something wrong?
