[QUOTE=chris0132]While I know how to do this, I certainly wouldn't have the patience to.
What are you planning to use it for?[/QUOTE]Hmm, good question. Were you just bored, Spacew00t?
I'm stunned. This is a very good job. I'm very impressed! :D
Have a mapping king.
Was I bored... It did take awhile but I've mapped so much I can do it for hours on end, even if I'm not being particularly entertained by it. I guess just being at the computer using Hammer has been fun, and it was something I was pretty excited about. I don't have fun when I can't think of something to do in Hammer; I was the kid that would build with legos all day in the basement, and if you think about it it's not really fun... just entertaining. I've forgotten to eat all day when mapping sometimes. I suppose it's kind of like brainwashing, so if you do it long enough it becomes second nature and you can't help opening Hammer up when you meant to look for your porn collection.
To sum it up I have too much time.

Well, at least you put your spare time to good use ;).
Some could say that. :q:
Will you're awesomeness ever rub off on some of us? :D
Not so sure about that one. The hammer thing might work though.
The only way to get his epic hammer abilities is to be struck by his golden brown hammer, which the sheer epicness of the hammer will cause you to cease to exist.
Spacew00t, you are a God.
Hey, you could implement this in rp_wustle. That place has an oil pump mining machine thing.

So, RP_Mars with a different surface texture basically? Sounds cool. I want.
Space, you make some very interesting ideas. But I worry about what your entdata totals would come too D:
[QUOTE=DoctorBerry]Space, you make some very interesting ideas. But I worry about what your entdata totals would come too D:[/QUOTE]
Yeah same. That's all you need for a GMod map. Entdata 320%, go ingame, spawn a prop, game crashes, ed_alloc error. I can see it now.
I try to use the smallest amount of entities possible, so the systems are pretty efficient. I don't think I'll have too much trouble keeping the total map entdata around 100%. Finally making this mining system I can't help thinking back to Rp_Mars, which is were I first started talking about the whole mining thing. Making a map in a Earth based mine makes sense, and I want to keep most of the action underground. I don't know if I'm going to have the surface or not, but if I do it will be a Siberian wasteland.
You should maybe add a Health Vial plant feature. You stuff in 2 or 4 Ant nuggets and then you can choose if you want a pack or a vial.
What the fuck just happened to my avatar?
Damn you garry! :argh:
Change it then.
Finally they changed it to something funny.

Yeah that and food, I talked about it a bit in the first post.
That was the most complicated thing I have ever seen. I can't wait till it comes out. You are a Hammer God, I bow down to you and kiss your ankle.
I'll ask again, what is the entity or name of the particle system you used to make the smoke?
There is no such word to describe my amazement. On a Scale of 1-EPIC you are over the top. I got a boner from watching this. You are on the verge of revolutionizing RP forever.
*Cough* Now we need some people to make more damn cars. Maybe a van, truck, so you can put resources in the back and carry them around easier?
Another reason I am so excited about this is because most RP-ers just sit around not knowing what to do. This gives them some kind of purpose and a job that's meaningful and will create mini economies of mining and trading of minerals and stuff. I can't wait until this is implemented into something! :keke:

and I will point out the following
[quote]ep2 particle effects[/quote] it's apart of the new SOURCE SDK beta. start there.
No it isn't.
We still don't have our nifty particle editor - Valve sees fit to give us haggard-ass software to work with until we actually forget about what we were waiting for, THEN they release the now-obselete software, which nobody cares about.

Couldn't agree more, and I plan to start on a map with it soon. I just want to accomplish an underground space with use for vehicles and small trams at the same time. I could probobly do that by making the mining carts skip past important mine areas or only really useful for storing ore and not people.
Yeah It's one of the hl2 particle effects, one of the smoke ones. There's a list of all the effects on the Valve wiki.
[QUOTE=DoctorBerry]and I will point out the following

Yes, but the SourceSDK BETA doesn't give a list of the paticle systems and show what they look like, nor does the Wiki (Show what they look like). I've even tried to decompile a map from EP2, but no luck. That is why I asked Spacew00t, he used it in his map and I wanted to know.
There's only a handful of smoke entities on the wiki, and one says smokestack I think. It's a pretty good bet it's that.
Spacew00t, check and respond to your PMs. :argh:
All it needs now is a credit system.
[QUOTE=DieHardDeus]All it needs now is a credit system.[/QUOTE]
What, so you don't need to haul 30 tons of Iron around? I was thinking about a bank exchange system for giving out cards with a certain amount of credit on it, but I don't know if it's all that useful. I mean the bars and barrels are pretty compact as it is.
