Ok, it only shoots through walls if it's set to shadow map, all the others stop and cast shadows as they should.

And it's only spot lights and directional lights.

if I set it to double sided shadows it casts shadows fine but i have to break up my objects into smaller objects so the light will "pass through" the glass.

i don't understand

Hello, I have a question for anyone who knows 3d studio max...

I'm so confused as to why this is happening. I made this scene and I started adding lights, I want light to stream in through 2 windows that I cut into a wall... So far so good

Except this happens:





lights just decide to shoot right through walls! everything was working fine and then I did some tweaking of vertices and bloop! my walls don't cast shadows anymore...

and it's only those 3 walls, the other walls block light like nobody's bidness

I don't understand.

Any help what-so-ever is so greatly appreciated

Lots of models for artists.

I don't agree with Chickens edit in the chest area. Why did she go up to a DD cup size?

yes, it's the PSP palette file

at least someone does OH SNAP!

I sure hope you have large hands DG... Then she'd be all over you

Do you feel there are moral implications in playing Space Invaders? I don't. Could you elaborate, pleasey please?

As for a tag game, it would be horribly boring. Part of the fun in tag is contorting your body in awkward ways to make the person who is It miss you by just that little bit. Carmageddon had Fox 'n the Hounds where you played tag but the Hounds had to tag the Fox so it was the other way around, and you didn't even get any weapons. It was fun for about 5 minutes and then we went back to normal deathmatch. I can play tag in real life, I can't smash a solid granite jet car into the side of a ghetto blaster.

how about a little compare/contrast with a real person



Longer arms, wider hips and she'll look pretty good I think. I don't think you should tuck the feet in together like in the image, cause it looks so stiff, people would usually stand with weight on one leg more than the other, not so STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN SIR YES SIR!

While I agree with DG about the whole birds and bees discussion and violent video games/movies or whatever, I don't understand this at all:

"And I think that's what kids today don't realise about violent games. They've confused the violence as a means of fun, whereas they should look at a game in terms of survival -- violence as a last resort."

I don't understand how kids of today have video games confused. Did kids in the 80's not confuse it? I never thought like this. I stomped on a goomba not just because it was a rule of the game or survival or something, it was fun, and I got points and it made a blee-BLOP! sound. Since the vast majority of kids play video games without killing people in real life then I think kids today have it exactly right. Just like we had it exactly right and our parents before us.

And unless I'm completely getting your meaning wrong, violence in many games is not a last resort. In Contra you can get past the first stage up until the miniboss without killing anyone, but then you're stuck, you have to kill. There's no other way around it. Just like thousands and thousands of games. Especially the first wave of video games. I mean you could play Space Invaders using stealth but eventually you'll run out of little blobby base things to hide behind and there are no shadows to hide in...

Also, I don't think Remo is saying that games don't use violence for a reason or to demonstrate a point of view or what have you. He's just saying he is tiring of violence. And to speak for myself, I get it, violence is dreadful, war is brutal, gang violence is terrible. I got it before I played video games. Is there nothing else that can be brought up in a game besides "War is hell."?

In regards to tag, here you go: http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=170

Now, the article by Christopher Remo

I enjoyed it heavily. As for the part about the woman killing her children because she said god told her, this can be applied to everything that is scapegoated and I hate it that no one seems to realize this [by "no one" I mean law makers and politicians]. A man went into an office building and shot a bunch of people cause he thought Willie Nelson [or some other musician like Willie] told him to do it in through the music. Where was the Willie Neslon witch hunt? Like what happened to Manson and KMFDM [and iD when it comes to games] after Columbine.

"I'm convinced that games as a medium have a lot more to offer than new and exciting normal-mapped ways of killing people."  I enjoyed that wonderfully.

I have a question for you [and you'd probably prefer all this was handled on the Idle Thumbs message board but I'm living in the here and now!], you write a few times that you're not condeming violence in games and you like violent games, do you feel the need to have to repeat this so people don't jump down your throat calling you a pansy or that you think violent video games are bad? Whenever I speak of violent games I find myself repeating "Not that there's anything wrong with violent games!" a lot because it seems people are touchy to criticsm on violence.

Woulda been great to have you at Mittens when we discussed games, Chris. Sucks you couldn't make it.

He'll always be Parker Lewis' dad to me...

I wonder if that show is still funny now that I'm older

You can go home Indy... We won't be needing you after all...

Well she did school me completely at arm wrestling... and by that I mean I let her win... and by that I mean she schooled me completely...

also Scumm, she drew you, you're on the left next to grund's head

And we can never have enough Aliens and Predator action figures, can we?

Yes.

Well, that's that then!

Mittens is totally over with, everyone has gone home and everything has been cleaned up. The septic tank has been fixed and the door has a new lock and the sofa has been fixed...

It's like you guys were never there.

Well, except for Petter's underwear he left, Dave Gilbert's sock and Francisco's white zipper sweatshirt and the 300 pounds of food you left! Good lord! Sadly I was only strong enough to carry 100 pounds back to my wagon...

Other than that you all know how much fun I had and how awesome it was and it was terribly sad to see you all leave. If it wasn't for the thousands of miles of water and continents between us I'd hang out with you every wednesday... Until you told me to stop because I was frightening the neighbors.

and now the pictures:

and scummbuddy, if we're not at the camp yet when you get there... uh... wait a little bit i guess?

Frankie Goes to Hollywood is crazy go nuts... you go into televisions and paintings and play minigames...

they never showed that part of being a PI in movies

sweet, got it, thanks a whole bunch Bardarian

the shirt thanks you, i'll post an image when i'm done

heyo, I have a request of anyone who can help...

there are 3 sprites from this game that i want for a shirt i'm making

http://www.c64.com/detail.php?gameid=100039

however, on the emulator i'm running it on [winVICE] one of them gets all garbled

in the game you can eat cake and an elixer to grow certain sizes, i have her normal size and her tall size but when i shrink her she's all blargy.

Is there anyone who can get this sprite for me? I've tried other emulators but I have no idea how to work them with the whole disk switching thing and even if i could they're dos programs and snagging a screen shot is annoy-noy

Help me anyone and I will be most appreciative

edit: hmm it may be the disk image, cause i tried it on another emulator and it's still mucked up

I tried both images from www.c64.com and c64unlimated, both the same

love,
eric
