Dang! Only free in the US!

That sounds good. Let's not derail this thread though (I don't even know what the OP reads )

Would the channel be for ponies talk or would it be for RPing?


Also while I am fine with some ponies talk in #omnimaga (when there is no calc programming discussion or important stuff going on) and would personally not segregate specific game/shows discussions based on if I like them or not, the many nick changes to ponies in #omnimaga lately has gotten pretty irritating, because it's getting very hard to remember who is who there now and getting confusing if you need to talk to the person involved.

Most of the time I change my nick before joining or just after. Also I occassionally tend to switch nicks when there's not much pony talk going on. I try not to overdo it, tho :p

So yeah. I love making test chambers. So far, I have 4 test chambers published, but two of them aren't really good so I won't be posting them here.
Anyway here goes.
Lasers and Pellets
Difficulty: moderate - hard (slightly more to the hard side)
Turns out someone ported pellets to Portal 2. I absolutely love pellets so I just had to make a map with it. Besides, what could go wrong when you're in a room with deadly lasers and high-energy pellets?
Pictures (no spoilers in here)Note: in order to get the models for the catcher/emitter, you have to install BEEMod 1.05: http://portal2backstock.com/bee/
This mod adds more elements to the puzzle creator, like MASHY SPIKE PLATES!!!11!! and logic gates, so it's a must-have!

Fuzz(wipname)
Difficulty: moderate

I was playing Portal X (aka portal prelude), and then I hit map #36. I loved the mechanism that was used in this so much that I decided to make a full-blown spin-off. Note that it's not 100% finished yet, but it's solveable.

Pictures:

All maps are located at my Steam Workshop. Note that because Fuzz is still a WIP, I haven't yet published it publicly. You have to be friends with me to grab it (most members over here are iirc, but just fyi)

You really have your feelers everywhere, right?

So yeah. I have a problem with Portal 2. The problem I'm having is this. I recently wanted to try a new concept that I came up with for a test chamber. Designed a test chamber, tried to build. Crash. The dev console pointed me to vbsp, so I looked into the /bin folder for Portal 2 and tried to run vbsp_linux through a terminal. At first, it turned out that the libraries weren't in the right place, so I fixed that. Hoping this would fix it, I tried running vbsp-linux again.
By the way, this is the terminal input:
usr@wowsuchpc:~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Portal 2/bin$ ./vbsp_linux -entity_limit 1750 -game ../portal2 ../sdk_content/maps/blabla.vmfHad my hopes up for a second as the program didn't output much for half a second, then it crashed. This is the output I got:
Valve Software - vbsp.exe (Jun  4 2014)
1 threads
Could not start the empty shader (shaderapiempty)!
...So I looked into the folder vbsp_linux is in. It contains 2 files with that name, one being a .dll and the other being a .so file. I tried renaming the shaderapiempty.so to just 'shaderapiempty'. It did have effect, though not what I hoped. Instead of a "could not start shader" error, I got "segmentation fault". Reverted the namechange. Removing the .dll extension didn't do a thing.
So now I'm stuck. I really hope you guys can shed some light on this problem so I can at least get vbsp working.

...Any thoughts?

Be careful about fanfics, though. Sometimes you randomly run into adult ones

Yeah true. On FiMFiction, however, you are required to tag your story with 'sex'  or something like that of its an adult story.

My own mail server. I should add third party client and remote in box access though.

I don't want to hijack the thread, but that sounds interesting. Mind giving some more details?
