  • Supreme Commander 2

    Quote from Section_Ei8ht

    Got it because I love TA and the original Supreme Commander. I gotta say I'm very disappointed. I understand that SupCom 2 != SupCom, but they seem to have removed a substantial amount of what made SupCom/TA stand above every other RTS. After Playing SupCom 2, I didn't feel like I was playing anything special. It felt like I was playing every other run-of-the-mill RTS. Me and a buddy played a skirmish in SupCom 2. After the match we went and played a match of vanilla SupCom, almost with the same sense of urgency you get from walking out of the theater during a bad movie.Very disappointed

    I 2nd that, finished the campaign and tried some online games,

    I'm pretty good in FA but I get my ass kicked in SC2 and I can't learn from the replays because they don't show how the enemy researches.

    Also the lack of the give feature means that the first team to loose a player is pretty much lost.

  • Mass Effect 2

    Quote from Gloglebag

    the longer you delay doing the suicide mission to more of your crew die. You can do one mission and no one will die.

    Spoiler tag just in case

    Quote

    Its suposed to be the other way from what I have read on forums, having no upgrades (that are only availeble when they are loyal?) kills part of your crew while the ships are fighting eatchother.

    I did everything else before the suicide mission and only mordin died in the tubes. It seems to hapen with everybody that shoose him for that mission, so I have to replay it one day and try another party member.

    Quote from KungFuSquirrel

    Irrelevant example. A car is an object that degrades and loses value over time.

    Games degrade too over time if you ask me, issues supporting the newer OS,

    Degrading graphics, and better cooler games comming out (wel once in a while anyway).

    But I guess its easyer to trade with used games then used cars

    Quote from Hourences

    And in 30 years in Belgium. 25 GB a month traffic cap \o\

    Depends on your provider, I have scarlet adls2, its cheap and unlimited. My record is somewhere at 250 gb for a month.

    Ontopic,

    Not looking forward to these kind of services.

  • XSI > Source Tutorials

    I have a problem loading vmf's to XSi too, and I never had problems before, I think its vista 64 bit as it works fine on my laptop.

    Anyway ontopic, i worked with mod tool and xsi 5 ,6 and 7.

    I never had any problems exporting tough except with animations, have to know what flags to use in the exported dialog for that.

    Anything you export needs to have a material assigned to it tough, the smd exporter ignores geometry that has no material on it.

    Oh and the exporters are not availeble for the 64 bit version.

  • Dragon Age: Origins [BioWare]

    Love the game, would mod for it if I had the time :)

    Wish my female elf could go down with Leliana but even with 100 friendly I can't.

    Quote

    I let morrigan sleep with Alistar too but got a save to check out what happens if I don't :P

    Went trough all the origin story's and probably play 2-3 different characters and make some different choices.

    Save to say Bioware is my new fav dev I should grab Mass Effect but i'm cheap and waiting for a bundle deal with ME2 :P

    Morrigan keeps reminding me about Stargate tough :)

    My favorite chars, Morrigan, Wynne, Lelliana, Allistar and dog.

    Ogren was the last to join my party but his somments could sometimes make me laugh, wel and shale because I has issues to get the dlc working,

    Shale is popular in my reroll, probably because his damage is a bit overpowered at my low level, his banging on the floor alone can kill enemy's so I send him in first as the friendly fire can also kill my party if they are hurt :P

  • Tactical Intervention

    Thats where I worked at in Korea for 2 months, its Source (left 4 dead engine to be exact) and as he mentioned in the interview, the core team is very small.

    As far as I know, Minh is the only mapper after I had to go.

    Also he should have taken a screenshot with AA on

  • Error

    The map compiled but the error is shown when it tries to load the game with the map? (You are talking about HL2 right?)

    I just turned off the automatic launch in the compile options and just load the game and map manually.

    I think its only a problem when working on custom maps and there might be a fix by now but I never bothered to look it up as I'm used to manual loading a map now.

    If its something else we need more information like a compile log

  • cl_leveloverview messing up (cs:s)

    I believe the green is video related, you have a ati card like me?

    A workaround might be to set a maximum render distance in worldspawn, i believe you get a black background that way, or the env_fog settings, I forget.

    Otherwise you could consider disabling the sky visgroup and add a box around your map with the sky texture and a dark rexture on the bottom just to create the overview.

    I did something simular just to remove rooftops on buildings that players could access.

    Some other tip, cl_drawhud 0 also removes the 1024 marker so you have to use that one once you have the map fit to the box and are ready to make the screenshot :)

  • Gibbable prop gib to static in source

    I only made one breakable prop and thats been a while,

    but you could make the part that stays in one piece a seperate model thats a physics prop and a input enablebing motion on the break output of the gibbed model asuming they have a break output like func_breakable.

    When following Pampers advice, check in the model browser if those props are in once piece, if they are, it can also be done with QC commands,

    otherwise its probably using the medthod I mentioned

  • Kurt Stassen - Leveldesigner

    Quote from Pericolos0

    ooh awesome stuff, I always liked your levels =). Are you working anywhere right now?

    I was stupid enough to start with my dad again after my Korean adventure (carpenter).

    Quote from Minotauro

    Cool stuff Kurt! You are one of the fastest and most hard working level designers I have ever met =)

    Hehe Minh said the same when I worked in Korea, well the fastest part anyway ;)

  • ins_karam

    Quote from popcornjake

    Also, I've been fiddling around with Insurgency in hammer, how come there are no official maps within the Croatian theatre seeing as there is plently of resources labelled as Croatia or Šibenik.

    There is a completely done map but its collecting dust as it was decided to hold it back until we have matching player models.

    To bad because Skybex put alot of work in it

    Those props are on steam by accident and we are not removing them in case any custom map is using them.
