    now there's also hitsounds and damage indicators so you can know exactly how little your seemingly-perfect shots do

    The dings and the damage done numbers are the best improvement to this game since release.

    Except when they fixed the facestab problem....

    Hey, You. (heh)

    I'm going to try to get a version of my map ready for tomorrow. It will only be the first cap of the first stage area.

    I just have lots of little things to tweak tonight, so I need to start busting ass.

    I sort by class when I go to craft. Outside of that I just let it build up however. It's not like I need to look at it that often.

    The hand full of times I've tried organizing it, it ended up being a pain in the ass trying to find matches for my gear without ruining the tidiness.

    So fuck it.

    So, I *might* have been bored and gotten Psychostats up and running.

    I also had forgotten that I havn't cleaned out my logs folder in ages. (Looks like something around 4,000 logs.) This'll take a while to process. Will post a link when it gets done.

    EDIT: Hoo boy, looks like the logs go back to June of last year. Yeah, this'll be a real Hinkie.

    This is how you make it better:

    I wonder how much of an effort it is to replace those ding sounds. If it involves unpacking and then repacking a gcf (gfc?) file then I can't be bothered. But if it's a more straightforward substitution I might consider replacing it with a Vinnie Paz brrat.

    Pow! Ha ha!

    No, all you do is put a wav file in a specific folder and set a variable in game.

    sv_pure can mess with it though. You have to bring up the console and type 'play mysound.wav' upon first starting up the game, or else it won't work on a lot of servers. Once the file gets cached in memory however, it works fine.

    I'm still not quite sure how this new item format works.

    I idled last night and ended up with 12 items.

    That's...on par with how many I used to get from idling.

    Right. They smoothed the drop rate so that you really only have a variation around certain "drop points". As in, you'll get an item basically every time you'd get an item on average.

    However, there's a limit to how many hours in a week you can get items for. Idle beyond that point, and you get nothing.

    I like it, Kupi, but seems a bit too structured for PA. We don't do structured around here.

    Hmm.. there's chatter of people getting drops again after they hit a large patch (10+ hours) of no drops. So either the drop window for the week has reset, or something isn't working according to Valve's plan.

    To add to this, I had earlier said how I had 3 refined metal, but was waiting to get 4 so I could use my soldier's token. However, since I got the Stash, I decided to just combine my 3 refined metal to get a:

    ARGH FUUUCK TIME TO RELEASE A MAP.

    I've been toiling away to release this..

    I'm pretty much going insane, dealing with a ton of little fuckering problems, but it looks like I have it ready for the test. I'll take some screens and upload them tomorrow sometime, hopefully before the test. But if anyone wants to download it and take a run through that would be cool.

    It's only the first point Blu attacks right now, with some thrown run up from Red to balance it a bit. Only one CP so far. It's the first of the beginnings of a multistage CP map.

    As per usual, I put way too much time into an mostly untested area, but hopefully I learned from my last map.

    Also, look at some of my details. I like them.

    Yeah, it seemed fine. I'm more worried about getting a full crowd tomorrow considering the password change and the new L4D2 Campaign.

    I'll probably run with the no all talk thing and then turn it on at the mappers discretion.
