thanks for explaining the process. :)
that sounds fine then. i wasn't sure how the model animations were handled in d3 but since you can use whatever 3d modelling program you want to create them, it looks fairly limitless.

back on Hl2 vs d3, there are things that i don't really like about hl2... for example, there appears to be a wierd problem with shadows such that you need to put it brushes in certain areas to stop shadows from being cast on the underside of walls and such...
apparently, that's because the shadow code is a sort of hack? (as opposed to d3 which i haven't seen need any of these no shadow brushes) 

have a few days before I return from Egypt to try out all the mapping goodness being released but I thought I'd browse func since I have a lot of spare time ATM.

Someone said something about reference pics (I think it was Lunaran), dont know if they were serious or not but I have been rather snap happy over here. I have a whole bucketload of photos (and 90% of them are of stuff rather than of people) so if anyone wants to have a look, send me an email.

The only thing to bear in mind are that I'm not an expert photographer and they wernt really intended as refernce photos, just photos of stuff that I thought looked cool. Also, they are all 1600*1200 jpg images ATM and as such are very big. Of course, it means theres lots of detail but it might pose some problems in getting them to anyone interested.

Anyway, cant wait to get back and try out some of the mappage released, maybe a few more releases might pop up befor ethen too. HINT HINT. 

I'm interested in those pics... =)
Gimme. 

I suprised that article didn't just come out and say 'durr... hl2 is better cuz it's got a female character in it. d3 obviously can't handle breasts so it fails this engine comparison. COUNTERSTRIKE!' 

You are an elitist fuckwad, fuck you for banning me. 

please leave #tf problems off func_msgboard. 

Please take your abuse of power and elitism out of #tf 

about the abuse of power. Elitism is opinion and so is fine, but unnecessary bannings are quite immature. Kicks are one thing, bans are something else entirely. 

banning looks like the satisfaction of the childish inferiority complex....
i.e. lame 

Particularly since Phait has been showing some promising mappage recently, now is the time to be especially welcoming. 

Childish foot-stamping on the part of particular channel owners was why I first stopped hanging out in there. 

But I still need 3 beta testers for this 2nd phase, if anyone is interested. 

once you get your QW client and an address sorted, gimme a shout 

Childish foot-stamping on the part of particular channel owners is the reason why I almost stopped hanging out in there.

But I missed Von so I always went back. :( 

It is the reason why i stopped hanging out there too. 

It's the reason scampie is going to be the godfather to all my children 

You are an elitist fuckwad, fuck you for banning me.

keep your whining off my front porch, annoying kid. *shakes cane in air, dribbles a little onto plaid blanket*

Without being privvy to whatever caused these two to start kicking sand in eachother faces, I'd say that being an idiot savant is no excuse for acting like an idiot. Personally, I wouldn't care if it was Jesus himself releasing little binary space trees of joy unto the internet -- fucker pisses on the floor, he's out of here.

Other than that, carry on. I'll get the popcorn. 

It's stupid. 

and poor old Kiltron has gone and stuck his foot in it, and after his recent goings on, with spitting the dummy, and vowing never to use id tech again, well........

The tools and open file formats of d3 seems........
Some Unreal people, (well perhaps not Unreal people, but people from Unreal) have been bitching about how retarded Doom3 file formats are, and the fact that you still have to do things through config files etc, etc, they seem to think you have to have a degree in Computer Science to understand it. One dude wrote a bit of a rant on the front page of his site about it. I think it was the dude from the review site "The Nucleus" something like that. He did say that he thought Doom3 was a good game.

Half Life 2 people love the article by the way ;) 

In case I can't get on mIRC later: DON'T FORGET! 

...can you stop with the secret rendezvous stuff already and finish the damn Rubicon map... :P 

Second and the final bunch of the sources goes to the big world off my hdd today. This time you can start destroying these worlds:

Deathmatch levels: Uzuldaroum, Aghast, Lilith, Ferrum, Hook In Mouth, Zed, Zed II and 3 old unmentionable dm maps;

Quake 3 Arena levels - Khaooohs, Nemesis Online, Uzuldaroum III.

Have fun!

Von's a level "source"-erer, even ;) 

Hey Bl1tz was kind enought to host a test portfolio site I'm working on for myself. I'd like it if a few of you could give me some feedback. Yes it's not spellchecked, or grammar checked yet as it's likely to change some between now and when I go live with my own domain. Please check it out once tho, Bl1tz is concerned about the bandwitdh usuage. This is not a complete site, just a single test page.

Thanks Bl1tz
