YAY! I can have my light preview again !

Last I checked, there had been this mini edrama when BadMofo posted they were not using Unreal 3 but an in house engine for CoD4....

A Japanese guy made Mistakes of Pythagoras for Source, which really resembles your description (at least I think that's the name, Pythagoras was part of it for sure).

It was one of the first SP mod out there.

Quote from Evert

I read all the comments, and I find them WAY more disturbing then the actual subject. Is it like this in America still? Feels so...12th century. Or all of them are ironic, I hope so at least...

Any of my kids ever hit their mother I would floor them. Especially if my son struck his mom, he would wonder what hit him. My daughter, maybe just a spanking but the boy would get his ass knocked out. I tire of today's society and its time-outs, its corner chairs, and its non-corporal punishments.That kid is going to juvenie and the first time he acts like this someone is gonna knock his teeth out. Only problem is the hall can work either way. It can either show him the error of his ways or push him to resentment which often leads to a career criminal.

Ah well, spare the rod, spoil the child.

Child abuse isn't spanking. Beating your children and taking your anger out on them is abuse, but disciplining them won't get you arrested. There is a line that shouldn't be crossed, but it isn't at the very start of the race.

The only thing this doesn't cover is that the parents must have let the child do a lot of bad things without saying a thing for him to reach the point where punching his own mother is ok....

I certainly would floor my son if he hit his mother. Twice if it's what it takes. But my son would never reach that end as the line not to cross is a lot closer than this.

With that said, Hammer 5 (if the current one is still 4) should give us lighting preview. Seen it before, and it's a giant step for Source mankind.

That middle building in the first screenie (or the one on the right in the second) screams of HL2's trainstation plaza. Its geometrically as flat as Hl2 (a flat brush with a normal map on top) whereas your other buildings look better with variations. I would rework that one

I ordered it off Amazon.com:

EDIT: WTF, I ordered it from the US amazon, as I wasn't able to find it on the French site, and now I can....oh well...

I really would like to see this map played with the new engine. It's typically a map that would be a good benchmark to see how better the engine can handle displacements.

Is that specific to the GH3 controllers, or all other GH controllers though?

It's not sure at this time whether the GH controller will be compatible with Rock Band. The new Rock Band controller has 5 additional keys for solos, and if those are required to play, then GH controllers won't be compatible.

Speaking of books made by Valve, I just ordered Phil Co's book on level design, which contains UnreadEd and not Hammer, but principles and lessons are what I'm after.

Not to mention 3 of these are on GH already.

This guy claims to have written down the entire thing, more or less.

Forza Motorsport 2?

Or is that an old one?

Holy mother of everything that's holy. The GHII player is a beast.... and the portal videos are pretty cool too, must have taken some time to figure out

It would be the first time I see a skybox texture not having the "sky" shader. My guess is the wiki is wrong, or it's changed since the hl2 days where all the skies are "sky". While it's true that "sky" also is "unlitgeneric", I'm unsure whether it contains additional values for the engine to render.

Your vmt files appear correct to me, but I did notice the order of appearance of lines inside a vmt file sometimes plays a role. In your case, I'd try and make them "basetexture, hdrbasetexture, nofog, ignorez" and see if that changes anything.

Other than that, are you certain you're running the game with HDR? The way I see it, your hdr and ldr textures could be different...

Did you check all your vmts?

Congrats on your new job Seir. Just added you to the list, but I only had your callname to sort you by
