Now that's just plain devious. Im sure you could argue that it uses more than 11 brushes, because it's like 5 of the brushes have been shown ten times, so effectively there are over 50 brushes worth of architecture.

Still, there ARE only 11 brushes in the source, so - who knows?

Im not gonna be the guy who makes that descision :S

Still - it's a neat trick :) 

I think the most interesting challenge is to use only 20 brushes, without any reuse via entity hacks, and counting brushes in bmodels towards the limit. Otherwise you'd get free lifts and doors as well.

i.e. a hard limit.

As I understand it, it is a test of how much you can do with a small amount of brushes, not how well you can entity hack. ;-) 

 

negke this is not 11 brushes :p


more like 11 walkways -:p 

all things hav 2 sides neggers ;-) 

 

;)

have to remember that 

all rules have exceptions to them as well :) 

If that's true, there must be an exception to that rule itself, and thus your statement is wrong.

A hi-res version of Obtex texture set? I'm guessing not, but I thought it was worth asking :S 

Just doing some code diving and found an interesting quirk, never noticed this before:

If you have the pentagram and some armor, it seems the pentagram will not prevent your armor from being depleted when you take damage. So i guess a player typically go all gung-ho and lose all their armor while fighting with the pent.

Anyone else know about that? Is it a desirable feature for some reason? 

i first noticed it when kell and i were implementing the cross of deflection.
i'm not really sure if it's a bug or not. in a way, it makes sense as the pentagram is making your body invulnerable, but not the mundane armour you're wearing. in that case, it's working as intended. 

I've known that for 12 years or so!!

I'd say it's intentional. It makes the pent more of a temporary / tactical powerup. 

metlslime you are very distracted guy :) 

this is how the pent works. I thought it was logical. I knew it forever. 

 

I knew that pretty early on...

I can't see any gameplay advantage from it - bug.
