First of all, I found out yesterday that in buildingblocks, when you have JBMod, there's this cool pistol that shoots blobs which explode in the order you plant them when you right-click. Also, when there's an explosion near a spawn-machine, it spawns a thing.

So, I made this loooooong line of these blobs going by all the spawn-machines. Sweeeeet.

First, download both files.
You will need Winrar to extract these. I had to use Winrar because with it you can make file parts (because of the filesize limit on the file hosting service).
Also, make sure both files are in the same folder, then just extract part1 to wherever.

I really like this one :)
 
Proof, if it was needed, that modmakers have only their imaginations to limit them. (within reason).

Brilliant LittleB.
 
Your zoom in on the Kleiner rag doll while it's flying through the air gives it a nice effect.

Almost like a documentary shaky-cam kinda feel.
 
Wow cant wait to download this. School sucks!
 
excellent! It sounded like the explosions were going to a beat. :p
 
thats is BRILLIANT, just like the movies, the possibilities with that are endless, its like the dominos game. you should put a bunch of combine on a tower with a trail going up the side of it, and blow them sky high.

Btw i downloaded this mod, and it doesn't work for me. I change the target in the short cut and it says its invalid. c:/Program Files/Steam/Steam/steam.exe is where the launcher is. Could someone help me out. And can you just tell me where to put the JBmod file as well. I read the readme but nothing worked.
 
Wow, very nice. And it looks like you used the motion blur post process technique on it too!
 
so cool, i got that map, just so i could try it, but i dont have jb mod, and dont want it (im playing thru SP on hard)

HecticGlenn why don't you remove this BIG spoiler out of your sig? I've seen the last words of GMan in one of those "highlight to read" boxes, except that I didn't have to highlight it (it was all orange), and I'd rather not have seen it (don't remember which wiseguy had this in his sig). Don't spoil...
 
The best is when you attach stickies to ragdolls. They go flying into the air like fireworks. Its also fun to do them in the water. You can make your own water show!
 
that was cool as hell. i like the "saving private ryan" feel to it when you show the body tumbling.
 
I just got it working, but you do get errors sometimes and crashes. My welding doesnt work great either, the red/gree/blue blobs must mean different things, but the items wont stick together? there a command im missing or doing something wrong?
 
I have building blocks and I have something for you to try :)

you know those compressed gas containers? Well..with the Physgun, attach 2 or more to a piece of metal and with the pistol with the stickey bombs, shoot a stickey bomb NEAR the gas containers and not on top of them or they will explode. What you wanna do is get gas to shoot out of the containers and make the piece of metal spin around really, really fast. It is so awesome to watch. I will post a video of this later because now I'm at school. Could someone tell me how to record stuff in HL2??

Thanks.
 
try typing (in console)

phys_gun_attract 0
phys_gun_autoweld 1

i think those are the commands...if not, they're really close.
 
you did some kind of motion-blurring, didn't you? i'm sure you did! :p

if not, then something screwy is makind this seem inhumanly beautifull and real-life!!!
 
How the hell did it run so smoothly with all of the calculations going on? You must own a friggin super computer! :p
 
If you use the built in startmovie command, it will slow down and capture every frame, resulting in a smooth video. While I was playing it was going at like 3 frames per second.

I sure did, buddy.
 
Pretty neat to watch, but I don't see how this is "brilliant"

I am sure anyone who has this map has done it...

I like your other movies though, Little B. (Want more!)
 
noooo, I mean how did you create those explosions. A pistol that shoots sticky blobs? I thought that was just the phys cannon.

Also, how the hell did you get the movies to run so clearly. I got a load of movies I recorded, using FRAPS, but they play with the lag I got while recording. Do I have to use that other method on the link you posted?

Thanks

Use the give command in JBmod to give "weapon_stickylauncher"

Or on the building blocks final map use one of the item spawners (next to the HEV one iirc) to spawn the gun.

Or, they can just copy and polish up what Valve already did, and pretend it's their own work!

Hmmm... Your ideas intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter...
