The thing about the free info on the internet - it's scattered and is usually of low quality and results will vary (plus after a few months, any pictures will probably end up being broken when for whatever reason the site hosting the tutorial has the user who sumbmitted the tutorial host the images off-site... i still don't understand that). If the book was detailed, complete, and well written (quality), it could be worth the buy -- if you haven't already learned most of what's in it. The outdated info can also be placed on internet resources - just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it'll always be kept up to date.

That's the one bad thing I can see. The player community can be split 3 ways now, between TF2, FF, and TFC (for those who refuse to move on).

The shit has hit the fan at the FF forums though. Haha wow, I just read the thread at FF forums and I can't believe how they're acting like children there. Indeed. But it's just competition and fanboyness. I bet if you look at the ND forums, the users also act like children whenever a competition mod (Empires) has an update or ANY mod for source gets attention (like gmod going retail, I'm guessing that they're still bitching about Garry ripping off jbmod (which he didn't))

I'm just glad the awp wasn't on there. What would they say? "This weapon lets you be a pussy and get 1 shot ranged kills without engaging in any actual combat"

btw who cares about the first maps imho we should play all the (playable) mapcore made hldms.

I never made an hldm map as I started off with tfc and stuck to that so can I go make a pro-looking hldm map and pass it off as my first map?

in server.cfg: mp_timelimit "30" mp_fraglimit "50" mp_flashlight "1" and, if hldm supports it, you may want to take advantage of sv_downloadurl, and put the map files onto a web server so clients that connect without the map files downloaded yet will get them much, much faster than compared to downloading directly from the server. Yell at me if you want to know more. Zaphod, I recall playing that map several years ago, I wasn't aware that you made it.

There's a difference between a flag burning ceremony, and a protest involving flag burning.

One thing I would have changed about my mapping, is creating backups (and by doing that I would setup the backup process to backup other important files). I just lost all of my map sources and other important files when my 80GB WD crashed. Kids, backup your maps.

Uhh, I think the point was moreso, terrorists using american games to train at killing american soldiers.

Has the game that lets 12 year old billy act as a terrorist ever been on the news, for a negative reason?

Did they call BF2 an American game? Yes they did. Way to not do their research. (still watching it, I'm waiting for them to say that EA made the game (edit: THEY SAID IT LOLOLOL)) This $25 addon they mentioned, were they talking about SF or a third party mod?

Obviously inspired by GTA. Because GTA's goal is to go around punching other kids.

Was that the same guy? omfg

Why isn't there a Charles Whitman the game?

I'm getting strange images in my mind of mojo and mikey sitting on eachother's lap when they play games. but the way you wrote that, it would be badass if there was a co-op mode, imho.

I see two things by reading that mirc log: For someone with no game development skill, why is he leading the team? IMHO a mod team leader should be skilled in at least one major aspect of the game development process Given that he's not skilled in game development, if ND takes off, he's probably going to use the assets to brag about and use when talking down other games/mods, even though he didn't actually make any of it. I'm waiting for him to find this thread and whine about it on the ND forums. Either that or call our mommies.

Has he dissed FF yet? The irony would be great if he said FF was unoriginal.

So it's okay then? Valve got bitched at for having most of the E3 footage and other promotional content not in their actual game (and also when they lied about a scene that had was supposed to have no scripted sequences) CoD2 got called out for having prerendered cgi in it's ad, that didn't depict what the game actually looked like. Well in their "pretend to be a game studio" setup, they got one thing right: lie like one.

According to king douchebag, the mod is showing progress despite what the photoshops show. Then, why didn't they release screenshots of the current progress instead of photoshoping old screenshots with old hud concept. Oh wait, what progress?

so unless you either link to the files or to the folder, how do these bot-spiders even find the files anyways?

Sorry mazzle, it doesn't play well with my comp ill buy it when it does, but since im poor and just upgraded last fall, by the time I do upgrade, the game will be in the bargain bin. (unless someone wants to send me a 360)

Since some ass locked the thread, "Hitman Blood Money is worth buying imo!" --Hitler how does mazy feel that everyone in #mapcore is pirating the game right now?

Minus the bugs (cough crossfire), I think it's near perfect. It's supposed to be hldm on the source engine, not a "what some guy thinks the maps should have looked like" source remake. Look at http://www.blackmesasource.com/flash/images/mr7_am1.jpg It barely looks like the original, so it is not half-life 1. it is some guy's opinion on what they want it to be. another one: http://www.blackmesasource.com/flash/im ... bound2.jpg where was that in hl1? oh wait, it wasn't.

ah k, I'm working on that quest strand atm.
