well, I only get 50-60 FPS in Half-Life 1 which really sucks, and as soon as I go to record the video, the fps drop down to 2. Once I upgrade my PC, it'll be a hell of alot better.. but until then.

BTW, blood idea soons cool, never thought of that. :D

... What the hell do you use to record that drops the FPS so much?!?!

I get 60fps in HL1, and when i record: 40-60 using Fraps

env_mirror causes quite alot of lag when ive tried it
Posted 17 years ago2006-08-25 16:55:37 UTC Post #194559
it does'nt cause much lag for me when using it. But I've only tried it on a small scale. :

ah. Maybe thats where I went wrong. 1 sec.. I'll retry it.

Edit:
Nope, still automatically dropped to 2 fps. This time I also closed any programs that take up memory. But no luck.

What's up with the pre-beta Hostage Situation download on your site, Hunter? I never saw anything about a public release of any kind being out yet, although I could have just missed it (and I'm not going through 61 pages of posts to find it.) The ModDB page says that it's still in internal alpha, although that could be outdated...
Posted 17 years ago2006-09-18 19:13:05 UTC Post #196880
well, for 1.. I'd like to begin my part so that I can post update pics.

What, you thought I hadn't downloaded it and played it already? You should be more careful!

Don't worry, I promise not to leak it out all over the net. ;)

Edit: Gyradell Invasion was unprotected, too...

begin what? I need the end of the last chapter, and beginning of the next chapter that includes the info_lndmark, and changetarget entities so I can begin.

This way will make it alot easier for the future. I'll be able to -wadinclude my maps and compile them, then send the bsps and rmfs to you, and the transition should work. :)

Chapter 3 begins at the entrance of the facility, Chapter 1 ends in the city.
You just have to map the ride to the facility sequence. Try working on it, don't worry much about connection to the other chapters, that'll be done in the end..

Oh dear...People are confused...I may not be the best guy to give advice but I think you should all go online on IRC and sort things out if you haven't already done so.

#hostagesituation on gamesurege, been registerd for a while but no ones used it.

unb, why don't you start mapping the middle of the chapter, and get the end of muzzles and the beggining of whoever's on 3 later

areas in pics 1,2, and 3 could use some de-squaryness. pic 3 especialy
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-01 16:26:16 UTC Post #198207
The last pic looks the best, although it's still kind of messy (put something better on top of those chainlink fences, will you?) 1, 2, and 3 are way too boxy, and the first uses only one texture for the architecture of the room, which makes it look flat. In 2 and 3, something like raised metal walkways might look better than the concrete floor.

when posting thumbnails, do not link to myphp pages.

Content is of course fantastic, although the majority of those screenies dont show the great work i've seen when playing your maps.

The tower looks great, if a bit high poly. What are the r_speeds like right there?
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-04 02:55:29 UTC Post #198444
LOL!

Just oh my sweet god! You guys are still poke'n on this corpse?
Drop the sticks and stop it! It's been dead for soo long it ain't even funny anymore!

I don't mean to piss in your food but seriously! After this brutal delay, who's excited to play it? And when Iyou had this beardgrowing long time to finish I expect something beyond HL1, I expect something that is so amazing I'll cum when test it. Am I going to get that? Am I? Think not from judging the screenies allright. They ain't bad, don't get me wrong. But it ain't nothing special I tell you. But anyway, best of luck guys! Best of luck! Hope you finish till christmas.

glhf!

I really hope that the few maps in the beta leak I got my hands on were early versions that won't show up in the game, because I sure didn't cum when I tested them.

no. no you're really not,

Ok, time to prove it's not dead, give me some sort of media here! Screenies? A trailer?
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-04 11:59:33 UTC Post #198488
Maybe a a few $$$ might show us all that its not dead :P

Well, that's the undetailed version, so the wpolies 're around 600 @ the top of the chimney.

And I'm planning ~1300 at the top, with the cliffs, surrounding buildings and detail added.

@Tosse: Wait till' I finish the last map..
