    I understand where you're coming from. I just replayed it recently, before that the last time I played was just after release. There were a LOT of black phantom exploitations I kept getting sucked into :/

    This is the only game I've ever pre-ordered. The original was one of my favorite games in a long long time. Cant wait

    If a post is off-topic please just ignore it and move on, I don't want this thread turning into an argument. So, question. The obituary says he died at home. This doesn't sound very logical if he died from an overdose of laughing gas and painkillers. Do we know any more details?

    I'm not sure, that's what we heard from his family. Maybe it happened after he went to sleep.

    It doesn't matter really though.

    Laughing gas used to be used at birthings and at the dental clinics up until a few years ago when they got banned. (at least here in norway). I'm surprised that americans still use it with how america usually is.

    Yeah I'm surprised that dental practices still use it too. I haven't seen it in Canada but I also havent had any major dental surgery.

    Will the scene be static with just a camera moving around it? If so you can cut your rendering time down significantly by doing a pre-baked lighting pass on every nth frame first then rendering using the baked lighting. I'm fairly certain mental ray has this capability, I've only done it with VRay myself though.

    As for the scene, not bad, the thing that stands out most for me is that sharp rectangular entrance to the temple. I think you need to put some sort of frame or trim there.

    BTW

    It appears it wasn't a gun accident. We heard from his cousin and apparently it was a horrible accident relating to his pain medication and dental lauhging gas.

    sorry for double posting in the other thread. I rarely check the off topic section. I should have. Truly sad to see him leave us so soon.

  • Mitchell “Engineer” Keesee has passed away

    I'm sad to deliver this news. I thought I should post here since a fair amount of people on mapcore have worked with him in the past. He's worked on countless mods including Ham and Jam, The Trenches and Firearms|Source.

    He was a great guy and was always there to lighten the tone during voice meetings for the games. One of the most entertaining guys on the team too. He was really fun to work with.

    One of my favorite memories is him and me constantly harping about how Doom and Doom2 are still the best FPSes ever made.

    There is some more information about his passing here:

    It launches for me but after I put in my password and username it just hangs and eventually has a dialog saying "TODO: has stopped working". Closing that kills the password manager which in turn causes the engine to stop loading.


    As I wrote this it suddenly started working. I'm guessing the server is just getting hammered right now.

    EDIT: It seems a bit hit and miss, it works about every 2-3 tries

    Oh hell yes!

    i've been putting off new environment art projects until this comes out.

    Goodbye weekend!

    C++ interface is also awesome! I can use my favorite libraries without any funky porting

  • What are you playing now?

    • AlexM
    • August 17, 2011 at 6:54 PM

    I have the Hori and the TE stick

    obviously I use the TE stick more but the Hori is really not that bad at all. For 40$ it's a great deal. Besides the slightlyh different feel the buttons are a little stiffer and there is a more noticable click when you hit a direction on the joystick. Really unless you are a really constant player Hori is fine.

    Been getting back in MvC3, I have to remember to throw out my SF habits and get back into the carnage. Fun game although if I was playing it competitively I can see myself raging at some of the nuts combo juggles some teams can do.

    Still need to get Balzblu, did the new one just come out?
