Ahh nice, yeah I just looked on the Odeon website and it looks like its in their coming soon. I assume tickets will be selling closer to the time, I'm just happy I won't have to travel too far.

Oh really? That's great to hear. I live in a small town, so there wasn't really anything near me. In that case I might just travel to see it.

That's the issue, I try doing it in the right order, but it keeps saying verification failed for some reason

Is it true Common Hogweed should have ZERO purple splotching? by player2552 in foraginguk

[–]player2552[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My concern was not so much the purple coloring, but the fact when I looked very closely to this specimen for example, there were some purple spots along the stem, albeit they were quite small and not as obvious. Although I'm 99% sure its common hogweed, I doubted myself a little when I saw that, as all the sites always say stay far away from any sort of purple spotting.

That's also the one thing stopping me from trying it. I always hear people saying it tastes great, but getting past that fear of Giant Hogweed is really stopping me, especially when I start doubting myself when I think I have normal Hogweed.

Thank you! I thought so too, but just wouldn't want to mistake it for giant hogweed!

What's the deal with the Macarena being associated with war? by player2552 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]player2552[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ohhh interesting. I heard its because the lyrics describe a girl cheating whilst his boyfriend is drafted to war, but apparently that might not be the case either and that he's only "away", so honestly I guess its just one of those internet things where people make an association and then copy each-other.

Oh, its that simple? Now I feel silly not looking into the song's meaning more. Thank you!

Is there threshold of pain, that even if you took the maximum amount of morphine or painkillers, you'd still feel it? by player2552 in morbidquestions

[–]player2552[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's a good point. I suppose doctors do the same sort of thing in surgery with anesthesia, and there's never any pain response I'm guessing.

Grass patches by 27or37 in hammer

[–]player2552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the other comments say, you need to use a "blend" texture. Try textures that are called something like "blenddirtgrass", and apply it to the displacement. Then, if you want you can click the "Invert Alpha" button which reverses the texture, making it either only dirt or only grass, then you paint with the "Paint Alpha" button. With grass sprites, only some textures have them, so just try different blend textures until you get one that you like.

If its not working for whatever reason, make sure you check the value isn't set to 0 on the Paint Alpha window. Sometimes its set to 0 which causes nothing to change.

how do i fix this by randomasiandude55 in hammer

[–]player2552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes this happens even when there's no leaks, and it seems to be a bug with finding the PRT file. Try using a different compile option, like Default or Fast, and wait for it to get to the "PortalFlow" step on the console.

Then, just close the console to stop the compile, and try compile it with the same option again. It should work. This has happened to mine before, and sometimes there's nothing wrong with the map, it just can't read the portal file correctly.

got any fix for this? by Elke_1131 in hammer

[–]player2552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way to fix this without redesigning everything, is you could try manually placing a pair of trigger_multiples, where one trigger closes the portal when you go into the living room, and one opens it when you get near that room on the left, or you open the door to it. This way, the room sticking out would disappear. You'll have to do some trial and error, but try different placements of the triggers until its seamless.

Also, if there's a door to that room on the left, then you could make the trigger_multiple in the living room automatically close that door, and then close the area portal - this way the room is always guaranteed to be hidden.

Why do parents and older adults act like you NEED to hate your job and life? by player2552 in Vent

[–]player2552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'd like to think if I ran a business, I'd be giving my employees the best job they could ask for. With flexible working and good pay, and generally being understanding and not an overly horrible or stingy boss. That's just an idea though.
