I'll be realistic here, I don't think homosexuality, transgender or any of that stuff is 'right'. Not by nature's standards. Something caused that. I don't know if there's more gays/trans because they're speaking up more or if something in the environment is causing it. That's something that should be looked into.

The issue is, you're bashing a person for something they have no control over. Should you be burned because of your hair color? Should you be burned because you have a toe that's slightly crooked? That's what's wrong.

Religion tends to bring out extreme ideals because people take it as fact rather than a belief system.

We can thicken walls but if your camera goes even slightly inside the wall, it can see through so by adding an anti-portal, everything will be removed from the map and the player will see nothing. It won't fix the problem but it will fix the advantage.

You can't move because your player is locked, type "mpcheat playerlock0" in the console or just class a weapon.

I know that can be done on any wall, my point was, where is it a problem? Where is it an advantage? Where should we focus on fixing it?

mostly what I hear is always a Muslim.

Like I said, media is fucked.

Hardcore Christians don't support abortions. That's pretty terrorizing to a soon-to-be mother with an unwanted child. Gay bashing is pretty terrorizing to homosexual individuals. Just because of religious beliefs, it's silly.

It all depends on how you look at it.

what about fixing the see through wall bug? (:
Make a list of places where this is a problem and provide screenshots, then we can use some trickery to prevent people from doing that, namely adding Anti-Portals in the walls.

So all in all, from what I've gathered, the problem is that you can't just "delete" a part of texture, you can only remove the whole thing. And because smoke is made out of just a couple (10-15 I guess?) of textures, having some of them disappear would make it look aweful and useless.

Correct. You could get past this by using hundreds or thousands of textures that are much smaller so it behaves more like real life particles but, this engine is far too old to be capable of such hungry features.

Haha, I love that you put mine in there. I'd like to help but work keeps me pretty busy. If nobody else steps up, maybe I'll figure out something to help you.

You can do collision for BSP (walls). You generally don't want collision though because the textures are so huge and if one disappeared, it would almost make the whole screen flash and look weird. Particles are a very tricky thing to get looking right, darn near impossible on an old engine.

So to sum up;
Religion is fucked. Media is fucked. People need to calm down.

But I think everyone needs a crutch at one time or another and if they can have that fulfilled by faith rather than alcoholism or substance abuse, two thumbs up. Religious intolerance is really stupid though, and I guess it's only carried out by people who are faithful and very confident in their own beliefs

I can agree on both points (which I rare between you & me, I know). As an atheist, I couldn't care less about anyone's religion. If you need to believe in something or be spiritual to be good in life, go for it, more power to you. But when it goes from a personal belief to a fact you're willing to die/kill to defend, that is pure insanity. I don't want to bash anyone for believing what they believe, I could easily be wrong in the grand scheme of things. It comes down to freedom, as much as I hate saying that. Anyone should be free to do as they want as long as it doesn't affect anyone else.

All that said, I still feel religion is one of those things that we need to move past as a society, as human kind.

Turning the tables, when has religion done anything worthwhile? Aside from being a mental/emotional crutch for people...

Yea, you can kill particles but then you have huge amounts of smoke disappearing and it's not very realistic, at least with large textures/sprites. If you used hundreds or thousands of sprites, having them destroy on collision would work, it just would be very intensive and not feasible on this engine.

Not at all. This kind of behavior happens even in modern games. Basically, the smoke is just a whole pile of transparent textures overlayed on each other. The texture is scaled larger and then disappears. The texture goes through anything, any object. If enough time was spent and the engine was better, it might be possible to use hundreds or thousands of textures in small scale rather than the 20 or so large ones that make up the smoke now. By using tons of smaller textures, you can make them behave like particles and have them bounce off walls and things like that. But, this engine is so old that FPS would be almost non-existent if this happened.

You can't force people to learn, yes. Religion, just like racism, is taught (forced) onto kids at a young age. That cycle has to be broken.
