The (Un)Offical Source Thread!

[legionaire45]

I'll post some tutorial type stuff for mappers and modelers:

1. Good to check this one like once a week for updates.
2. Valve's official developer wiki, always good.
3. Awesome place for weapon references (used by the developers of STALKER too )
4. Exporting from 3DS Max
5. IF YOU ARE A NEW MAPPER LOOK AT THESE NOW.
6. Useful for texturers
7. Animating a weapon for CSS
8. Great texturing tutorial for hard surfaces
9. Tutorial for people who don't know how to bake AO maps (required for the tutorial above)
10. Great place to get custom brushes

Hey Limited, thanks for the advice, but the blog doesn't offer a download for an autoconfig file, that's just one of the parameters you put in launch options. Also, there's nothing that mentions resolution in config.cfg (the config file for each of my source games) so I can't change it there. Oh yeah, and I forgot earlier, but in Gmod, everything is gone. I can't see the ammo, health, suit, or even reticle unless I change the res to 1280x800 (my native res), and even then the HUD disappears again after a few minutes.

this might not seem to much to you guys, but this was the greatest owning i have EVER done in TF2
I was a sniper.
i think i got 4 dominations.
23 kills
a ridiculous amount of Headshots
and i was alive for like 15 minutes.

i managed to lock down the Well CTF map completely by taking out everyone that left the base. I hs'd a soldier, then 4 scouts all moving (jumping running ect) in a row with no miss's.

The Medic on my team abandoned the other players and stayed healing me, which i much appreciated. because after about 10 minutes the other team started organizing wave of assaults complete with 1 heavy, 1 medic, 2 soldiers 3 scouts and a pyro comming directly for me.
cause they wanted to take down "that bastard fuckign sniper". I've never ever seen or played anything like it. They completely ignored all other members of my team and waged assault directly at me.

and finally after 23 kills guess how i died?
The train got me. not the team, not the other snipers or the Rush's with soldiers Rocket jumping over walls where i was standing.
the mutha fuckign train.

and to be honest, i think it's made the story all the better for it.

it shows me as a scout regrettably because after the train got me after all that time, i turned scout to help the team cap it out.
Mission fucking accomplished.

and on a side note my brand spanking new G9 Logitech mouse is unbelievably fuckign awesome.

I should go pickup the OB today. I've been missing all the fun

Yeah, well worth it. I only wish portal had multiplayer with an ingame map-maker so you could share maps ingame as well.

How the hell would Portal work online?

That'd be like a game of Halo where your only gun shoots teleporters.

Add fall damage and flaming pits etc to make them fall into?
