Portal to Portal 2 conversion

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 17:31:45 +0000

GOTO THE GODDAMN FP THREAD, I'm too lazy to update this one. http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=905250

(Props to Teh_Cheese for the awesome header!)

I am trying to create textures for Portal 1 based off of textures from Portal 2 to give Portal 1 an updated look. Here is the image I am basing it all off of:

I hope you guys can give me input and suggestions so I may make it look exactly like the Portal 2 images.

I'm opening this project to volunteers, the volunteers must show some work they have done just so I may evaluate if you can make decent textures.

NSBIP= New Suspension Building Intentions Plan

Sat, 06 Mar 2010 04:36:40 +0000

Oookay. I was kinda Inspired tonight, and tried to make a new suspension Type for vehicle buildng. I got kind of an inspiration, and drew this:

And thought, If this would work on Gmod, And did this. Needs refining though, bui I think The Idea is quite well on the road. What do you all think?

just wanna see if we can make things different. More realistic, if we can. Would you help me on this proyect?

Mobile Artillery Platform

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:36:03 +0000

So I used the basic suspension design but added a second set of wheels in the rear. Each rear "axle" has 4 wheels on it. Two on each side. That's 10 wheels total.

The current artillery boom is something that I just slapped on there so that I'd have something to show everybody. The finished one will look much better with a couple of those tiny PHX bars placed to make it look like the pipes are actually bolted in. If I don't get too lazy the boom on the finished one will actually be mounted on an axis and will be able to fire in any direction without having to line up the entire vehicle.

I'll have 4 of those pipes(which are 80mm GCombat mortars) mounted on it and attached to the boom with grabbers. The idea is to be able to swap out armaments based on the current situation. If I need artillery, I can mount some howitzers or mortars on it. If I need armor piercing I can swap whatever's on there for some at cannons. Versatility is the name of the game.

The boom also has multiple angles that it can fire from. There are 9 settings total so it's not limited to extremely far away objects. I believe I set 45 degrees as the max since that's the angle that it can fire the farthest from.

___________________________________________________________

Due to my video being 804MB it's going to take an hour to upload it to YouTube. I'll have it up in not too long. Here are some pics of it so far:

I call the last picture "OFUUH-!"

This is how far it shoots. The artillery is in the lower right corner of the screen. This still needs to be played with. I'm aiming to get the entire map within range from a single corner.

The Potato Launcher.

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:18:39 +0000

Well, I was bored yesterday and my mather told me, If u are bored, help me with these potatoes. POTATOES! I screamed; and went straight to Gmod To construct a Potato launcher.
V2:

V1:(older)

It actually fires potatoes as it gets wild if something bigger is tried to launch.
It hasnt too much power (v1 at least, v2 is more powerful,) but is nice for killing zombies in a different way-Weird.-
Would anyone try to make a better one? Im sure anyone of you wd do it better than me, as I m NOOBY with Gmod.

I'm creating a website template that I want to put on Themeforest for sale. I was wondering if you guys could give a little bit of suggestions or inspiration to help. Oh and sorry about the obnoxious anti-rip, since I am selling it I don't want to take any chances.

BFBC2

Sun, 21 Feb 2010 18:08:31 +0000

I copied this from the facepunch thread so It would look awesum.

The Singleplayer story:
The story in Bad Company 1 revolves around a quartette of military misfits who have all been placed in the "expendeble" company, B-Company, for various reasons. The soldiers in B-Company do the army's dirty work, they go in before the Special Forces do, since they are, like mentioned, deemed expendable.

A picture of the main characters, from left to right: Preston Marlowe, Sweetwater, Haggard and Sarge, also known as "Red".

Here is a very brief look on the characters that appear in the game. If you'd like a more indepth look on each of the characters, click on their names.

Preston Marlowe:
The player takes on the role of Preston Marlowe, B-Company's latest addition. The reason behind Preston's sudden move to B-Company is quite unknown, but it involves him flying a helicopter recklessly and most likely crashing. Hopefully more detail about Preston will be revealed as the series continues.

Sergeant Redford:
Sergeant Redford, or "Red" as they call him, is the leader of the squad and he is the most responsible of the four.
He is unique in many ways compared to the other, mostly because he's the only one that volunteered to join B-Company. By doing so, he is now only three days away from retirement. After that, no more fighting for him. Just fishing in Marlin.

George Haggard Jr.:
Haggard got transferred to B-Company after an incident where he shows his love for explosions by blowing up a very large fuel depot that belonged to the US military.
Haggard is the clown of the group and is usually the one that says and does the most memorable things throughout the game.

Sweetwater (no in depth page about him):
Sweetwater is the squad's smart guy, or nerd as Haggard likes to call him. Red tends to nag at him as well for talking too much.
Haggard and Sweetwater have an almost brother like relationship, where Haggard is the big brother. They, at times, behave like two kids on a long car ride throughout the game.
His story is rather amusing, he somehow managed to upload a virus to the US army's mainframe and was forced to serve in B-Company as punishment. Before this incident, he was saving money so that he could go to colledge, guess that won't happen anytime soon..

The story of Bad Company 1:
It all starts with a very "simple" reconnaissance. But it's never that easy now is it..? In the beginning, they act as the army's slaves and do what they are told to do. But then something.. something shiny catches their attention. GOLD!
I don't want to spoil the fun for you, so go play it! Since this thread is about BC2 I won't jump into details about the first game's singleplayer.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The story of Bad Company 2:
Little is known about it, but recently a singleplayer reveal trailer was released:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=7lkytZk9uyc

New features in Bad Company 2:

* Improved destruction! Now complete buildings can fall over when shot at. You can also chip away small pieces of cover so that you can make holes in a concrete wall so that you can see through it and still use it as cover.
* More gamemodes! There is Conquest, Rush, Squad Deathmatch and Squad Rush. Plenty to keep you and your friends busy for hours!
* Improved gameplay! The bad parts of the gameplay from the first game have been fixed and the good stuff has been refined to make this game a lot better than the first game!
* Improved vehicle physics! At last, DICE has fixed up the otherwise clunky physics that is found in previous titles such as BC1 and BF2. The vehicles behave a lot better now and it's much easier to drive. Which allows for much more mayhem with vehicles!
* New weapons and unlocks! Customize your weapons and make them the way you want them to be. Add scopes, granadelaunchers and other attatchments to your weapons.
* New and improved class system! Now you can customize the class of your choice to make it suit your playstyle a lot more, adding more freedom to the game.
* A new singleplayer campaign! The story of Preston, Red, Haggard and Sweetwater continues, now in brand new and excotic locations!
* And a whole lot more!

ME2 crashing while loading

Sat, 20 Feb 2010 07:01:35 +0000

Like the title says the ME2 will crash while loading after I select new career or
loading a finished on from ME1.

Specs:
2.3 ghz single core cpu
ATI radeon HD 3800 series
4 gigs of ram DDR2

Also this is about as much information I can supply because everytime I would try to take a screenshot of the crash It would pull up my desktop with a portion blacked out.

Glide Mod

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 05:55:48 +0000

I've been thinking about how limited the player flight is in game. It's restricted to noclip and vehicles. So I was thinking about a mod for gliding or doing tricks in the air, such as barrel rolls (the actual term is aleron roll, barrel roll is much different), loops, hammerheads, etc. And also being able to fly upside-down. As far as controls go, I was thinking mouse for direction, arrows for strafing and banks, and holding space for gliding/starting the jump.

I have no experience with this sort of thing, but I know some of you do, so I figured I'd bounce the idea at you and see where you took it.

3-Wheeled Hotrod

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 19:02:52 +0000

I was hanging out with Gunski on Tweak's server yesterday building cars with him. After a few failed attempts at building a working suspension with .25x.25 plates I decided to draw inspiration from one of his current projects and build a 3-wheeled vehicle not unlike a T-Rex. After assembling the main suspension I put small drag wheels in the front and a single large drag wheel in the back. I then proceeded to cover them with cowling and, lo-and-behold, the thing looked like a 3-wheeled hotrod!

SO! In conclusion, I will be posting pictures of my progress a little later since I'm at school and Steam somehow will not start games when I'm connected to my school's wireless network.
