Quote from KoKo5oVaRGuys you are friends from mapcore, never forget it
That's true. The bonds of mapcore are sacred
Quote from KoKo5oVaRBtw i kind of liked Borris, he had these cute round cheeks you would want to pinch and shake.
Which Vladimir unfortunately doesn't have.
That's ok Vladimir, we understand, you're a busy man 
But seriously, try not to be so brainwashed. I dunno if the Russian gestapo will like break down your door and stuff if you don't worship Putin, but it's a bit ridiculous to not see he's a despot at this point. Much love from the Great Satan USA ~
Quote from r1arPutun is evil - very easy to believe, right!
Yep its easy to believe, like the sky being blue, etc. Fairly easy.
Quote from PampersExcept a few weeks ago when they posted on social media sites that they had captured long ranged AA weaponry from a Ukrainan military base, or earlier today when they posted that they had shot down what they thougth was another military airplane in the same area. These posts have been deleted now, but you can still see them with google cache.
yes but have you considered that the ukranians may have been trying to hit a president's airplane? really makes you think. 
Quote from r1arFMPONE
Rebels have no anti-air rockets for 10km, listen to yourself. May be it is ukrainian air forces tried to hit a president's airplane, you don't thinking about that?
Guys relax! Putin is not a teenager with hormonal surges. He clear understand situation in Ukraine. Any another president, like Yeltsin(1991-1998) would have already sent troops in Kiev - before NATO did it.
Wow you're totally right how could I have been so foolish.

Almost ready for the 3D sky! yaaaaay
This is starting to shape up, good job!
In the way of crit: I would try to add more detail to the areas so that there aren't so many "flat" brushes, try to add props to the wall panels, try to add blends to the displacements (even the floor surfaces inside the shacks, etc)
Quote from MinosWhy would Putin shoot a malaysian plane over Ukraine though?
He gave the rebels in Ukraine unbelievably powerful military-grade anti-air weaponry, and they proceeded to shoot down a civilian airliner flying at an extremely high altitude
Article about what a potentially dangerous person Putin is, not that that isn't obvious as hell.
Quote from Senturalol:
At about 1:30 a.m., a family of hippos, represented by light gray H’s, swam into the tunnels from a nearby river. Their arrival was an unintended development born entirely of the game’s internal logic. Tarn was pleased. “The hippos like the sewers!” he said. He took a celebratory swig of Dr. Pepper and rocked back and forth.
plz fix ladder in cache
make ladder from two ladder-texture brush "sticks" going along the vertical part of the ladder
thx
Should be patched very soon.
Quote from RaVaGeActually it's pretty hard for me to enjoy making maps, I have high expectation about how my work should look, and it takes me so much time to do something bearable to my eyes, so it's not really fun anymore, plus de fact that I don't have so much time for doing maps, giving up is easier
I felt like that for many years. It's why I never made a TF2 map.
Try learning a different set of skills like modelling or texturing and then coming back to mapping. You will have more knowledge and give yourself some room to just experiment.
Quote from kleinluka
maaaaaaaaan...i just had kidney stones myself...in fact, i think i still do as i keep pissing blood every few days or so and pissing out little bits and pieces. one of the worst pains i've had so far (mono was worse though)
i haven't been posting much on mapcore lately...... mostly just lurking around. as most of you know i've been on sort of a games industry time-out since finishing Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the DLCs etc. I moved back to Germany early last year (something i thought I'd never do) and have been working for an airline just to pay the bills and do something else for a bit.
My sister had a baby and I didn't want to miss seeing him grow up in his first few years. It's been a pretty scary step to sort of "quit" and drop everything but I think I needed it and experience something else in my life. I feel like I taking a step back from the whole circus of the games industry gave me the chance to focus on some other elements of my life that i severely neglected in the past, in other words "having a social life". I found an amazing girlfriend here and we've been living together for the past year or so and I seriously haven't been this happy in a long long time. But also, I just downloaded Unreal Engine 4 and am starting to put together a new portfolio soon to make a re-entry into the biz in the next year or so hopefully. I feel motivated again and my batteries are re-charged. I might post a few WIPs here soon when I really start getting into it. I've missed hanging out on Mapcore.
I hope you're not too disillusioned with the industry. After all, DX:HR has to be one of the better games in recent memory.
Looking forward to seeing you around more often.
This game seems like it has a ton of potential! Definitely looking forward to hearing more news, keep us posted.
I'm trollin a little bit Spronybrony
Most overrated? I guess we forgot Peter Molyneux exists
Quote from TopHATTwaffleNice work man, I'm completely jelly of all of season and grace! Why do I even open Hammer when I have this to compete with!
Thank you. and You're doing fine 
Quote from slibusorry for picking up this thread again a year later, but I wonder what happened to that early version of cache with that cool "run down" look and those atmospheric fire places like you would see in a stalker game or something.
is there an article or an interview where you talk about the switch to the final cleaner look? I suppose it was ultimately because it was too dirty for the competitive scene...
I just wanted to say that I really dig that early look you had there, I just stumbled upon this and I was like wow this looked really cool why did it change so much?
Readability was a huge issue, and also it wasn't easy to get good results with that look everywhere, while it looked nice in some screenshots, it looked quite awful in others. The look didn't have as much legs as a theme in other words, the theme I went with carried over throughout the whole map much better
Quote from knjDude, noone here is trying to be a dick, i think
Probably because you're putting enormous stress on your body working out. Your body is using those foods as fuel. Plus I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest you're probably a young guy and happen to have a decent natural metabolism. The rules change a little bit for atheletes, they need carbs, the thing is, I still don't recommend eating shitty carbs ever. Watch what happens if you stop working out and keep eating the way you are now, the science will be proven to you the hard way
There are plenty of bodybuilders who ate nothing but Mcdonalds during their prime, and only regretted it later in life when all the nutritional damage they did caught up with them. That is to say, they still were in amazing shape, still were able to lift more and more weight in the gym, but over time they were doing damage to the cells and organs of their body, more than they would have if they ate clean. That (plus steroids 
) = a recipe for heart and other organ failures down the line. The body is fucking amazing. Usain Bolt eats McDonalds a lot. But one day, if he doesn't get that shit in order, he will pay a price for eating whatever he wanted.
This is why it's not a good idea to look at things from a "calorie" standpoint. Your body is a machine, it runs on what it is given. If you put crap into the machine, you will have a bad machine soon. Certain types of food are really damaging and will break the machine, but calories don't tell you anything about that. Calories don't say anything about food quality, all they do is tell you how much caloric potential is contained in the object.
I'm suprised it took two pages for someone to call us out for arguing about nutrition XD
Quote from knjDisplay MoreShieeet Dude, Fmpone are you really 100% on what you are saying here ?
Cause if yes, than sorry but you have no idea about nutrition !
How, explain to me HOW one will add fat to your body and how the other will burn ? Maybe i'm missing smth
Not talking about vitamins/fiber and that stuff; this is deffinition of calorie (the one we are using in nutritions dieting)
The large calorie, kilogram calorie, dietary calorie, nutritionist's calorie, nutritional calorie, Calorie or food calorie (symbol: Cal) is approximately the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree CelsiusSo ENERGY VISE 100calories from avocado and 100calories from snicers bar will do EXACTLY THE SAME TO YOU (again, energy vise).
Lets say someone will eat 3 000 kcalories eating only veggies like broccoli, salads, fruits like avocado ect, and other will eat exactly 3000 calories eating shit food/snickers bars ect, who will get more fat out of it ?
again I'm not talking about health/vitamins/fiber just pure energy consumption
Honestly dude pretty much everything you just said is wrong. The energy you get from different types of macronutrients could not be any more different. 3,000 calories of sugar could send you into a diabetic coma or some shit, 3,000 calories of beef would probably make you feel satisfied and put some stress on your organs. Completely different, yet the same amount of calories. Your argument makes no sense. If you really want to suggest than avocados and snickers do the same thing to you "energy wise" (what does that even mean btw? I guarantee you'll get more energy from an avocado, a snickers bar will probably raise your insulin levels etc, google what that will do to your "energy")
You need to realize that the way your body metabolizes different foods completely changes the impact of those calories on your body. Saturated fats, unsaturated fats, carbohydrates, nutrition is a lot more complicated than "omg all calories are the same because energy". The way you metabolize the food you eat will have a direct connection to the way your body fat is stored. The way your body fat is stored and/or burned will have a direct connection to your body weight.
I'm not trying to be a dick. Everyone comes to nutrition from a different place, nutrition is one of those things that's really important and fundamental and yet really hard to understand. But it's a legitimate science, it's never going to be a simple as you want to make it.
The reason I used the avocado vs. snicker is it proves that certain calories have totally different properties than other calories, thus making "calories in vs. calories burned" not helpful at all. It's like talking about the weight of the food you eat, if you eat one pound of food that doesn't tell you anything about the meal itself or the effect it will have on your body.
500 calories of any two foods are going to be completely different in the macronutrient composition, so its much more helpful to talk about foods you're eating and food quality.
Quote from duxOk sorry dude you're just talking nonsense now
Here's some random fucking doctor talking about it first result I googled. It's pretty simple stuff.
http://drhyman.com/blog/2014/04/10/calories-dont-matter/
"Take a class of sixth graders. Show them a picture of 1,000 calories of broccoli and 1,000 calories of soda. Ask them if they have the same effect on our bodies. Their unanimous response will be “NO!” We all intuitively know that equal caloric amounts of soda and broccoli can’t be the same nutritionally. But as Mark Twain said, “The problem with common sense is that it is not too common.”"
