I bought a new pc (entire pc) for about 600 euros, and it's not quite out of date yet, it runs bioshock on high pretty sweet ,thoug not dx10.

A good enough gfx card would be about 100 euros, maybe 150, my x1600GT seems to be doing pretty ok still.

It's not too expensive, if you make sure you have a motherboard you can build on, you can just buy parts for it when needed, i cankeep upgrading mine for quite a while still, eventhough it's not yet necessary.

an AM2 or core2duo mobo is lik 100 euros or so etc. so it's not that bad really.

It just sucks if your mobo is out of date, because replacing that, and the ram / cpu attached to i, costs a bit more.

Looking at the first screenies in this post, and how you've improved on them, greatwork You're really paying good attention to the critisism on here, and it shows Good stuff.

My pc always becommes unresponsive, had that on every type of windows i've trid, vista, xp , me , 2000, guess it's also to do with the speed of your pc etc. do you have a dual core processor, you shoudl in theory not have to experiences lockups with dual core, but i'm not sure.

I would support it, i think it's a great idea, it's a shame that this kidn of discussion is even needed, and i hope people understand that in a mod, a mod leader doesn't have a 100% control over it's team members, and i'm pretty sure most members of this mod feel exactly the same way about stealing / rippingoff content as you guys.

Just because one individual has made a mistake, doesn't mean it has to be the entire mod that's the wrong doer, i'm sure the mod leader will have adressed this issue with his team members thoroughly to prevent it from happening again, atleast i hope so for his sake.

love his e-mail adress

Kinda like the mod idea, not looking at the whole stealing thing, and i find it a shame the two mods can't work together, sicne it's both actually at the black mesa facility, sure some things will look alike anyway, might aswell do it right and collaborate on creating piecers and bits of black mesa.

that looks awsome!

That's a pretty cool idea, but there would be some heavy moderating needed because otherwise it will just turn into another "i can post all my 100 versions of killbox on mapcore so i'll sign up" portfolio sites

I'd rather have a sort of map submission idea for the port folio, that maps or level designers / 2d artist / modelers need to be approved to post in it.

I usually forget that you can make a new account and register all new games and such with my existic account ¬_¬ pretty stupid but my account won't get banned anyway i guess

Haha, how did i not think f counting units, though this might bit a bit hard on crooked hallways.. but ofcourse you can just measure them otehrwise

I got an ATI, i own both games, and i'm too lazy to make a new account, but hey, it IS a good effort from Valve, pretty good stuff, maybe i'll hook one of my friends up with some cool games eh

Feel free to e-mail me details on the mod and/or the theme / atmpsphere the track needs to create in-game.

fiddy cent is an imbicile, he's actually proud of that people hate him so much they tried to shoot him 9 times.. or 12 or whatever

And that's.....bad?

Let me know how the blocked out version tuns out ,i'm pretty curious if my suspicions were right.

And really, it might sound silly, but get a stopwatch, and time some runs from places to other places, it helps to give you an idea of what dimensions to use for the length of some passageways etc.

If your good at math you could even calculate how long it takes from a player to run let's say, 128, or 256 units.

This would be some usefull info on further projects so you won't have to time runs anymore, just go by your calculations and make the maps correct layoutwise with pure math

I agree tha the graphics might be not too shabby for an FPS, but I doubt the game will be fully FPS anyway, and the gameplay, going by the prequels, will most likely mak up fo this.

As for the armor suits, they've always seemed a bit evil to me but they do look impressive and powerfull which is probarbly the main point of the suit looking the way it does.

People (i know they don't!) shouldn't go by the looks of otheres, but by their actions ,as for this suit, it might look evil, but if you save everyone and act like the hero of the day, people won't mind you looking evil right?

My point being that looking evil is just badass and you can still be a hero while looking like some kind of killing machine

That's why I don't want to live in the usa

Indeed, you can always adjust your map after it's finished / along the process of building when you ntoice stuff isn't going as you want it to go.

But in my opinion you could save tons of time if you do this in the planning process.

As for the layout, I think it might help if you'd make th T spawn a lower level and make some sort of stairway or whatever up to A (or maybe an entrance in the lower section of A)

This would give CT's a small height advantage for if the T's reach the site before them.

Because, in my experience of cs (pre-source versions) the round is pretty much decided if the bomb has been planted and the CT's don't have a layout advantage (if the teams are fair enough).

Giving the CT's a height advantage would make it just that tiny bit harder to protect the bomb, but with enough hiding spots for the ct's not to just overpower them.

But this is always dependant on the level theme and how filled up a bombsite is, so you might want to take a look at this after you have built the bomb site itself, to see how well T's and CT's of equal skills are matched up in a battle.

Note that CT's need to have enough time to reach the site from where they are, neutralize the T's and defuse the bomb.

I've seen alot of maps who didn't take defusing of the bomb into account in their layout / gameplay planning which leads to allot of defuses going horribly wrong

Hehehehhe, i heard she was thinking over plans to improve the world and free the world of injustice and hunger etc. while she was behind bars... rofl.

They should lock her up for about 6 months in a proper cell, not some kind of private suite more exclusive than the most expensive hotels.

What kind of punishment is that, she had more fancy stuff in her cell than I have at home, hope she gets locked up again.
