Forsooth! I have consulted my managerie of birds, and they say 'reinstall windows!'.

Actually, the Unreal3 demos were run on 2 SLI'd 6800 pro's, so it's not THAT far off (though I'm sure they used a buttload of RAM). I think the thing lacking in the Crytek demo characters were the facial expressions and the eyes. Other than that, you can't really complain (except how the...

Ran it on x800xt PE. Looks terrific and runs quite well. I don't see hiccups at all, just a bit of 'lag': at 1600x1200 4AA I notice the sounds and speech are a bit delayed and the motion is not quite so smooth. The thing about the crytek engine I hated was that if you push the graphics settings...

place an entity of that name if you have aim, i'll send you my file

http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/Levels/ladders.html func_useableladder replaces the old ladders This was the first thing I experimented with. The oddity is that it's a point entity represented by two player-sized boxes. When spawned, you'll see one box. Click on the circle in the middle...

When I click a material and click "open source", nothing happens. Anyone else have this problem? Is there another way I can look at the texture files? (Is there any way to browse a .gsc file?)

you do? I don't. Are you talking about in the target field? I'm talking about at the console. Binds done in the console will still be in effect when you exit and restart later.

Yes, i figured it was a memory management problem, but wouldn't these glithces be less frequent with more RAM (less shuffling to do)?

i haven't done anything complex in hammer yet, so I haven't seen any errors. The other consideration here is your pc performance, especially your ammount of ram. I have an x800xt and a 1 gig, so things have been smooth so far for me.

the entity gallery is under the map menu. They recommend you spawn it inside an empty map. Not as useful as it sounded. What you're talking about is a model gallery. That would be cool too. In fact, it's exactly the sort of thing we should be making, a warehouse with all the models on display...

It may puzzle some people how to quickly use hammer and hl2 at the same time. Some things to know: 1. When running hl2 from hammer (via the run command), you are starting an instance of hl2 with its own settings. Myself, I run windows at 1280 and have the hammer instance of hl2 run at 1024 in...

Wrong. (i think, haven't tested yet, but it's what I read) If you want to make a prefab out of an entity, you can! Just select that entity(s), then make a prefab out of it. You'll get that thing just as it were. I don't know how it worked in earlier hammers, but in hammer 4.0, maps and...

by default, hammer works with maps in the sdkcontent subfolder. It stores them there. when you run hl2 from hammer (unchecking, 'don't run game...' in the run menu), it runs a separate 'copy' of hl2 with it's own settings (it has it's own control and graphics settings, etc.), and the...

need a reinstall? Steam seems a little spotty about making sure everything's properly installed. try uninstalling the sdk from the source menu (right-click on it), then reinstall it

I imploded mine and played the game using my mind powers unaided by any computer

on what side of his head was Ermac dropped upon as a baby?

ending point was fine, but they should have made it interactive, with some hint of what comes next I understand why they leave it totally blank (because they have no idea themselves, or just want to leave themselves free to change their mind, but it was unsatisfying that the player doesn't...

dude, get a dvd drive. they're $20.

Valve is deactivating HL2 access. Surprise!

Yes, a non-sequitor. I think Germany's only problem with neo-nazi's (aside from their occasional crimes) is the way Germans over-react to Nazi imagery and symoblism to the point of outlawing it. Also, LePen came no where near the office and has about the same chance as Ross Perot did (in other...
