Still doesn't work. I ran the contig fix [www.theisonews.com] that i found and it defragged all the files in the HL2 dir, and after that still nothing.
As for specs:
P4/2.4C
1GB DDR/3200
9600XT 128mb
WinXP/2
Dual seagate 160GB SATA/Hardware Raid 1
SB LIVE Audigy Platinum
All drivers are set to latest
You honestly can't say crap about my system being low end. It's sure not high end but RAID 1 helps out immensely in most games and with my VGA card being only 2 generations behind (X800 being the latest) I should have 0 problems playing this game. But it still does stutter like hell and so does Vamp: Masquerade.
This is an engine problem that needs to be solved.
I've bought this thing and it's well worth it. It's got over 18 unique regions which have 2'x2' maps all in color that correspond to each section. You can virtually take one region and use it for your own game or take the whole thing, it's a toolkit for DM's to use, maybe they want one and not the other, so they can just cut one section and use it.
The sections are well done up, the stats are spot on and very usable, traps are in detail, DC's are simple, the format is easy to read and not cramped. This thing is well put together and very very flexible.
$100/18 regions works about to $5/region with a full blown map. You can't beat that cost ratio!
seriously this is using new technology to it's fullest. You are taking a game that is quasi-based on real life and making it into something that can be manipulated for entertainment in a whole new area. Games like this should be used to inspire other gaming companies to think outside the box when it comes to the next game. After all, we've got all the FPS we need, do we honestly need one more (D3 and HL2 don't count in reagards to this!)

You sir are an idiot. As a Florida resident there are no more buttefly ballots and no more hanging chad incidents. All are gone and replaced by scanning machines (think SAT tests here for bubble in the blank) and touch screen machines.
So this whole crap about Florida being behind the times and having punch card ballots are falsehoods. Turn your crap hate to another state that still is using tech from the '40s.
It was only a matter of time before companies started doing this. Pushing content down the LIVE system is a great way to support and increase revenue for a game. Yes yes yes yes It's SUPPOSED to be free, but who cares, they are supporting their game with mission and addon packs similar to what Valve and Maxis do with all their add ons for their games (do we hate them today or not?) and allows me to play the games longer. $5 is nothing.
How the hell do you get a -1 MOD for informing people of what you did? God damn it's hard to please you people around here? What do I have to sacrifice a goat? Post hot pix of my lesbian army sister? Promise to install Linux on every machine that has a CPU?!?!?
As one who has purchased PDF's from Drivethrurpg.com and RPGNow.com I can honestly say that RPGNow is a much better alternative. Why? Well I have a linux box that I view my PDF on, I print it out at work, I also have a laptop for my game. DRM will not do.
So i downloaded 2 programs which ripped it to another file and removed part of the process.
I think took the file and then had another program 'clean' it up as far as fonts, searchability, and picture locations.
Total time between installing software, reading manual, and doing the process: 3 hrs.
Total time to repeat process: 30-45 min depending on the size.
It still came out a lil blurry but otherwise very usable. Now I carry it around on my USB thumbdrive so it's handy and portable but did come out a bit larger in size. Go figure.
On slashdot for no more than 5min and already the link is killed? Can't people host them on anything besides their 14.4 modem?!!? Who's got a link to the goods?!?
but aren't all major corps saying "LOOOK DUMBASS' WE CONTROL THE UPDATES DO NOT TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO UPDATE OUR BOXES UNLESS WE TELL YOU TOO!!!"
I can say here where I work with over 500k employees that the admins are twitching knowing that security is going apeshit saying "Nope, nope, nope, can't install that, nope nope nope." and they desperately want to fix and patch the boxes in one fell swoop but know that it will break custom built apps.
Here's for making all apps run on the web instead of locally!
As we've been working on this bad momma for the better part of 2 years! As one who sees the servers and equipment that they are using especially seeing the fiber that they will be putting into the ground this shit is faster than snake shit.
It's shame it's going to be useful only to those with NEW construction. Those with existing homes are shit out of luck, except in NY, LA, and Texas. And those commie bastards in Meadowpoint where the big bosses live. They always get the good shit.
Ray lewis gathering his crew up for a night on the town knifing people and then going to work the next sunday while driving his Escalade and his fur coat and tackling the snot out of quaterbacks.
I wish they made a game where you could combine sports and GTA, that way you can truely act like the thug that players in all 3 of the major leagues are becoming.
Anyone remember Dalls of the 90's? Raiders of today? NBA for the last 5-10 years? Thuglife has come home so let's fire it up on my PSX!
I think it's an addiction really. Like anything out there it's the whole Pokemon Syndrome: Gotta Catch 'em all! in regards to warez.
For example: There's a torrent out there for Stargate SG-1 for all 7 seasons and DVD movie and so on and so forth. it's 56GB. That's right FIFTYSIX GIGABYTES. People have been downloading this thing for about 2 months solid trying to get it all. But why? Is it just because it's a good show? Is it because they missed the first 3 seasons and need to catchup? NO. It's because hard drive space is cheap and it's a damn good 'feeling' to know that you have completed the entire thing.
For me, I am downloading that, full seasons of it and many other series. Never watched a show but I NEED THAT DAMN THING! Will i ever sit through 7 seasons solid of SG-1? Hell no, but I must have it, because it's there. Probably has something to do with Obsessvie Compulsive Disorder but in regars to data and not physical objects.
I think any warez junkie will be more than reluctant to admit they got a 'problem' but then again maybe they are just die hard collectors of 'stuff'. Who knows.
It's in the middle of f'n nowhere and you want me to go there to solve puzzles? What am I supposed to do for fun, cross the border and pick me up some romanian women???......
I had no idea that it was out! There goes hours of sleep for this badboy! God I hope I can flee the battles like I did before and level up like a crazy man like I did in 1 and 2.

Can you please make the bad man stop.

Thanks god, you are the bestest God Ever.

Could be wrong, they could just replace the Master Cheif with a swarm of bees and be done with it.

there's been plenty of outcry but it's all drowned out by the "WE HATE BUSH! BUSH ==TEH DEVIL!" rhetoric that's been propogating everywhere.
I for one am irked that my voice in the Senate is not being heard and that they'd rather go on trying to be president instead of my representative.
