  1. I have no idea if it would work or not since i'm not too good when it comes to shaders. That shader manual looks like Java did in college, and I had to cheat to get through that class B) There seems to be more than one way to do much of this stuff which is pretty neat.
  2. You ever pass a terminal in some Imperial Base and wonder what the heck is on the screen? I always do when I play games. I wish I could access some information while playing. Fear not, I found an easy way to do it that involves NO scripting. All you need is a trigger multiple, a misc_Camera entity, and an info_null to point the misc_Camera at. You'll also need a texture to act as the computer screen, so, create one in the Gimp or something. I made mine 512 x 512 1) Create a small room with any texture and a light source. Make a brush and texture it with your computer screen texture you made and put it against one wall. 2) Now, put a misc_Camera and an info_null in this room. Target the camera to the info_null. The info null is the direction the camera will point at. 3) Somewhere where you have a computer or whatever, put a trigger multiple. I set mine up with player only, use button, and direction since he'll be facing the terminal when it is in use. Target the trigger_multiple to the camera. 4) try to put the misc_camera and info_null on the same plane even with the middle of your text brush for starters and compile. Depending on how far off you are you can adjust the either the camera or the text brush or both if you choose to get the distance right. I like moving the text brush, myself. Here is what you'll end up with. The above is just a test on a white background. You can see the camera effect from the game over it so it kinda looks a bit like a computer screen. Pretty much anything you can make on an image you can use for this which is pretty cool. Enjoy it.
  3. I need someone who is pretty good with photoshop or whatever program to create a simple logo/emblem for me. I need it for a texture but am terrible when it comes to these programs and this stuff. If anyone is interested let me know.
  4. It looks like they are doing the Mamushka from Addams Family..just with lightsabers instead of daggers. http://youtu.be/CCNyHprEZK8
  5. My first thoughts that came to me when Lucas Arts shut down were: 1 No chance to see more Monkey Island games 2) No chance to get an updated TIE Fighter or X-Wing Alliance. The mods for X-Wing Alliance make the game look great, but, its not the same as something new.
  6. I have no clue how modeler's do it but I just like digging for information and this is what I found. Its just a Stormtrooper one but its something... http://www.therpf.com/f79/anh-stormtrooper-helmet-measurements-153093/
  7. I never listened to either of those two, actually. Its not EVERY band or album I can't stand, but, it just seems much of the stuff I heard from the mid 90's onward really didn't catch my ear as the stuff from the late 80's or early 90's did. This is still my all time favorite death metal album, and, probably one of the best albums I ever bought. This album cover is also something I always wanted to make in Radiant, too. http://youtu.be/fNAygChlA7Y
  8. This was a pretty good posting there, Spior. I'm not much a fan of Death Metal past 1995 because the vocal style changed and this band is no exception to that. I think the only word I understood was perception.. lol... However, musically, this song is pretty good!
  9. I watched the Clone Wars once through and only select episodes a few times more. I may have to go through them again. I DID remember that one commander from the first episode of this last run seemed to have some cybernetic implants, including a tusk or whatever... I thought this guy blew up with his ship but it appears he survived. He's a pretty neat character whatever his name is.
  10. I just finished the episodes with the banking clan and the rocky marriage. These episodes had their moments but weren't that bad. That bounty hunter with the 1950's style saucer sled for a hat was pretty neat. The more I watch these "governmental" episodes of this show the more I think they deserved to live under an Emperor.
  11. See, I like Jar Jar in the Clone Wars. My favorite scene was the one where he sat across the desk from General Grievous and was playing with that chair. I was hoping to see if they finished the story line with Asoka on the run because those last few were really great.
  12. I just started watching this last night and the first one was pretty good. Why do you think the middle ones were awful? Bad stories?
  13. This is a neat idea. Are you making this with intention of just making the ship itself for sake of doing it? If so, my suggestion would be to use Elite Forces since you could probably save time when it comes to creating textures. Models, too.
  14. Don't know if you saw this movie, but Max Von Sydow plays the evil Brewmeister Smith in "Strange Brew". Oddball movie but really fun. A fun fact, Angus Macinnus was Gold Leader in the first Star Wars movie and also played the character of "Rosie" LaRose in Strange Brew.
  15. I voted for Empire Strikes Back. I liked that the Empire had the upper hand in the movie, for the most part. We found out that Darth Vader had a boss and that glimpse of him without his helmet on was pretty neat. The movie also showed a bit more how the Empire worked, or didn't in Ozzel and Needa's cases. Personally, I always liked the shots on the star destroyers bridges especially when Darth Vader would walk by and those guys in the pit would be all panicked looking. The humor was good, too. You could see that with all the incidents between R2 and/or C3po throughout the movie. Even Yoda was fun for a bit. He must have been a trip until the Jedi got a hold of him. It ended with Luke finding out Vader is his father, Han is taken by Boba Fett, and the Alliance is regrouping. Kind of a downer but I think that is what made this movie the best.
  16. If you are in college or know someone with a valid .edu e-mail you can probably pick up an OEM version of Windows 7 for about 30 bucks for ISO version through Microsoft Student Web-Store. When I was at UCF I got my copy of Windows 7 this way a few years ago. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/edu
  17. Anyone here into his stuff? Any favorites?
  18. I just downloaded it and it works fine. It doesn't show up gray for me, just the red missing texture texture but it loads fine using Radiant 1.4. Much better to navigate in this version than in the first one you posted!!
  19. You could scale down the pool table and arcade machines a bit since they seem oversized compared to the size of the player.
  20. i just downloaded the newer version and played it. I got the max shader error!!! There is a place where you walk up the ramp, turn right, and you can see the swingset. There is a missing texture right at the top of that ramp.Other than that I really enjoyed it. I was going to offer you the Pac Man sound effect since I have that on my Pac Man machine in my map but you have that in there already....
  21. I used to dual boot Mandriva 2009 and the Gnome desktop environment had that cube desktop. It was really neat to use if you needed to have multiple windows open at once. I liked it much better than Windows' Flip 3D.
  22. They usually seem to have a good OS then they put out one that is kinda meh...then follow it up with a good one.
  23. Going to add some more.. http://www.mb3d.co.uk/mb3d/maxTextures_Home_-_Free_Seamless_and_Tileable_High_Res_Textures.html Free, Tiled and or/seamless ones http://seamless-pixels.blogspot.com/ Here is another seamless one
  24. I'm glad someone chimed in on that because I don't have a frickin' clue how to do that. I'm just happy I could make the banner It really isn't needed to have it wavy or move or whatever. Yeah, it'd look neater but its not something I want to waste time with.
  25. Here's some obscure hair bands for the list. http://youtu.be/eC63uD3sCOI http://youtu.be/v_pFJR-2qqE http://youtu.be/pVGDtqg0hH4
