Yeeeaaaaahhh. So how long does it take you to install one of these awesome Steam games?

Not long enough for me to complain. I'm on a cable modem and I want to say the longest it's taken for a single game is 2 hours. Worst case scenario I set it up to download before going to bed/work.

And like I said, I'm pretty sure it's possible to do complete backups when you want to format. It's really not a bad system.

This thread is disappointing me, I don't like having it flooded with people who are arguing, and I dont want to be a jerk about things, but can you please try and keep the personal debate in a personal message? This thread was designed to discuss the project started for Half Life 1 and Half Life 2 games. Please keep the discussion relevent (or at least msotly close to) the project, how it is developing, suggestions, etc... Thank you.

I don't think that is possible, even the Stalker megathread became a HL2 debate; this subject is like a virus...

Anyways, how is Medical looking like now? I have always wanted to see the big radioactive room with an updated look. :cool:

It is still going to be some time before the radioactive room is anywhere ready for building, at my current rate ... Im still shrugging along at the bveginning, just got the cyberjack room complete. It will be many eons before Cyberspace becomes a reality. I might port the project to Dynastopis (?) with C-Space integration, but I don't know if I really want to go that far (yet!). Expect more as it developes.

Here is a quickie - tell me which shot looks better: (This has no disrespect to prospective artists textures, I just want to know what pack looks better, or at least perferred by users, with HL1's 256 color limitation for textures...)

And the 3rd one with a light ^_^

The links should work, please tell me if they dont .. I don't know why but my server is random with errors ...

Hmm... I'd say the first or the last. The first one looks kinda "SS like" and it has a nice soft feeling to it, although the textures seem to be quite small and undetailed.

The second is kinda gray and grainy :devil:

The third is my favourite, I'm sure it would look nice with proper lightning. I guess it's hard to say until you lit them all up :)

With the size of the level atm, it takes about 3 and a half minutes to build if any lights are in the level, so sorry, I wont have lights for some time, cause I work on crunch time before I go to work ... 3 and a half minutes is a long time ...

Your computer makes Sinclair Spectrum look good, such computers and developing mods is not a good combo. :erm:

kodan50 on 11/4/2007 at 17:36

Im not sure if that was a compliment or an insult, can I just assume it was a compliment? So far thou, the 3rd shot (the one with light) looks better with the 256-color palet, but I wonder if that artest is still working on them.

Bjossi on 11/4/2007 at 17:43

I was actually insulting you, but whatever floats your boat...:p
