@mikeklubnika god damn

@Elihu_Eliseev OH, now sunrise/sunset is an interesting idea.....

@NoVIcE_Source Weather events in multiplayer game especially in tf2 is phenomenal, that's peak, people will just stear at it instead of playing, wonderful. Also you can somehow use it with lighting thing that on Valve wiki. And you can make sunrise/sunset like that👍

(⚠️Warning flashing lights??? ) Thunder in the Source Engine :D Done simply with a scrolling texture!

@emadewu @BrennenGlover Engine

@BrennenGlover Source?

Viktor Antonov, the artist behind Half-Life 2 and Dishonored among many other games has sadly passed away. City 17 and Dunwall remain one of my favorite places in fiction. RIP

@midlou15 I've thought about it- we'll see

@NoVIcE_Source Do you have any intention of making a public download of this method?

@midlou15 yay! do tell them to use an 1d texture with 0-16 being the first pattern, 16-32 being the second, etc Instead of a 2d texture, will save alot of hassle :P

@NoVIcE_Source I shared your solution on TF2maps and people were very interested in using your method

@BrennenGlover Viktor Antonov... May you rest in peace :( Thank you for giving the Combine the unique artstyle that stuck with us... <3

@V3Cyclone naw its just a random thing

@NoVIcE_Source Waiting for this left 4 dead 2 mod

@Gato_de_Palacio no lol

@TaintedFireWolf Ah probably, I just did a thing

@NoVIcE_Source I might be misremembering but weren't thunder effects a thing in l4d2 already

@qanon_reaI The ray brushes are the same material, but it's UnlitTwoTexture (the shader where 2 textures get multiplied together), where the basetexture is a grayscale gradient, and the 2nd texture is the patterns, scaled up tremendously

@qanon_reaI An additive brush around everything in the 3d skybox The texture shifting explanation above using vmt proxies and material_modify_control (I just realized simpler way to encode multiple patterns: it could be an 1D texture, and then scroll between different regions of it)

@AnimationGuns IKR

@NoVIcE_Source A good question is not what CAN you do with scrolling textures, but rather what you can you NOT do with scrolling textures?

She mad

@Alustris Ngl, depends on how if they counted the tiles below the rubble too but i fried my braincell at least for now :p

It's actually 71184.54 I uh - Opened the map in hammer - Simplified floor textures into checkerboards - The rest = blue - Took a screenshot (2nd pic) - Wrote up a python script to count the tiles, taking into account their surface area too "Holy shit, you are insane" - a friend

@NoVIcE_Source did you count the wall ones?

@Magic_Nipples Naw I just forgot and now it's too late

@NoVIcE_Source Left the job half finished.

@xd_venezolano have this pseudocode since I deleted the script: def floodfill() # returns the number of pixels it filled in area = 0 foreach pixel: if pixel == BLACK or pixel == WHITE: area += floodfill(x,y, GREEN) tiles_count = area / 100 # 1 full tile is 10x10px

@NoVIcE_Source How the script looks like?
