Civil Protection needs advice

Technology and Gaming Help and Support
#1

I sometimes check in on https://www.civil-protection.blogspot.com/ to see if the next Freeman’s Mind or Civil Protection episode is out. Today, about ten minutes ago, Ross Scott talked about a bug he was getting in his next Civil Protection episode that he can’t get over. He is having a Modeler look at it, but he put out an open invitation for advice on how to solve it. If your suggestion leads to a solution, he will put your name down in the credits as a technical advisor. Now i have no knowledge of how to solve this problem, but I figure that there might be someone here who can help him so we can all see the next episode of Civil Protection! :wink: :3

Anyway, here is his post:

I like civil protection way better than freeman’s mind.

#3

Well if we can get someone wh knows how to solve the problem on, Ross Scott will be able to complete his next episode of CP. Until then he is going to work on Freeman’s mind. Which is cool, I like both, but I would like to see a new CP episode.

#4

I think they’re both excellent, and I’d certainly like a new CP to come out (not you, Eric Fong)

What he’d probably need to do with his problem is Get their modeller to combine the props, like he said, and maybe decrease the size of the map to fit just that particular scene.

I’m more of a texture and sound guy so I may be completely off here about the map, but you never know.

#5

So… you want the credit for the solution? Or are you just bringing this to our attention?

#6

I think he is like most of us and wants to see another damn episode soon, and by offering suggestions we can speed up the process.

#7

What he said.

#8

Sorry, my desktop was taken apart for a complete overhaul. I just booted up the laptop. No, I don’t want credit. I was just bringing it to everyone’s attention. I figured if there is a chance to find anyone who knows a solution, then it would be in a forum filled with Source modders and people who would know a thing or two about it. By all means if you have a solution post it on his blog’s comments, I gave a link to it in my post. I just want to see the next episode :wink: .

Edit:

He solved the problem thanks to reader advice and is opening a poll on whether he should do a CP of Freeman’s Mind episode:

#9

Wow, that makes sense about the static props. That wouldn’t have occurred to me.

#10

wtf?

freeman’s mind sucks anyway.

#11

It occured to me instantaneously… but I figured it was too easy, he surely would have tried that.

#12

Obvious troll.

#13

Not really. Freeman’s mind does suck. It’s just another “Dude with annoying voice commenting on shit he’s doing ingame” video.

Civil protection is actually funny, and it’s an actual machinima.

#14

And I challenge you to show me a “Dude with annoying voice commenting on shit he’s doing ingame” video as good as FM!

I love both, but I’m looking forward to another CP Episode. (I hope you all voted for getting the Next CP done. It’s already finished to 70%!)

:stuck_out_tongue:

#15

That’s the point. None of them are good.

#16

True, but I still think it’s great!
I would like to see another Civil Protection though. I miss the antics of Dave and Mike.
So yes, I voted Civil Protection.

#17

I vote for Mike and Dave, can’t wait how they like when they meet zombie.

#18

Hmm i loved Civil Protection, and Mike and Dave will be good

#19

Whats this I dont even

:fffuuu:
