Mapping Help / [Video Tut] Opening Mission Editor

« on: November 04, 2008, 08:13:29 AM »

Every day I still get more and more people asking me how to open it.

This will be my last tutorial on it, being a video I can't really see how anyone could mess this up.

Mapping Help / Terrains appearing as dirt in terrain editor

« on: October 28, 2008, 05:31:52 PM »

When I opened the terrain editor (Place by slope, height, water level, etc.) there was only about 5 terrains, I noticed they were in a different folder located in Add-Ons, so I went into that folder and added some new terrains, opened up F11 and went to the terrain editor, yay they're listed!
But when I apply one, it's just the dirt texture, this happens with all of them except for the ones that were already in there.

What am I doing wrong?

Creativity / Drum set

« on: October 28, 2008, 04:16:10 PM »

Finally got my acoustic set up in my room, it's missing a tom mount so I just mounted the mid tom on the one I have.

Pieces:

Bass drum,
Snare,
2 mounted toms and 1 floor toms,
2 Zildjian 18" crash rides,
1 Zildjian Avedis 8" splash,
pdp two leg hi-hat stand,
Zildjian 13" hi-hat,
Iron Cobra double bass pedals,
Not sure what brand the cymbal booms are.



Btw, it's an Evans not a Pearl, my sister's band's ex drummer put that sticker on it.

Why does it seem like all teen age girls are vegetarian? Is it just the chicks at my school or is it like that around you?

Gallery / "My House" by Tolga Toykoc

« on: October 01, 2008, 10:11:11 PM »

I loved this render so I decided to replicate it in BL.
Colorpack didn't have the roof color so I just used the closest, and there is a roof effect which is impossible to replicate in BL so I had to change it a little, otherwise I think it looks pretty good.

The original render:



My version:



Rate if you must, if enough people want the download link I will post it, but heads up that there's no interior since the original render doesn't provide any interior shots.

Help / Can't host while directly connected to modem

« on: October 01, 2008, 04:55:00 PM »

For the first few weeks or so after buying my new DSL modem I was able to host, now all my servers come up dead for some reason.
I am directly connected to the modem so I don't see why it's doing this, and what puzzles me most is why it was working at first and now it isn't.

Drama / My first death threat

« on: September 30, 2008, 07:25:32 PM »

I feel so special. :D

I was in this server called "a city" with host "a guy," I was making the signs on all of A Guy's buildings say different things (Like I changed POST OFFICE to snakeOHforget and GUY BAR to GAY BAR, etc.) when I was confronted by Harry the following happened:

Threat #1:



Threat #2:



Shedding some light on his reasoning:



What he thinks of me, and threat #3:



After calling me out to an IRL fight, I decided to threat back:



Our tough guy quickly changes the subject to chat role playing and starts ignoring me:



So that was the story of my first in game death threat, I hope to see more!

P.S: He's 19 so be careful if you ever meet him in game!!

P.P.S: He also eats beer pizza, pretty hardcore dude.

Off Topic / Over a year later...

« on: September 26, 2008, 03:54:21 PM »

Remember Windows Live Search Club? Play to win prizes? I do, especially considering what the UPS man dropped off earlier today.

Back in early 2007 I had cheated to gain enough points for Vista, I ordered it and waited a month or so before deciding they found out I had cheated and I gave up hope.

Now, over a year later, here I am sitting with a brand new Vista Home Premium.

Pic for it happened:



Please ignore the fact that lighting illusions makes my thumb look really long.
