Siggraph 2000 / Get Your Free TVs (GYFTVs)

[InBloom]

The earliest version of the map that we have all the entities have been deleted and there's no car model in the background. and it's from december 21, of 2000. there's one with npc_citizens but no scripting. it's possible that gyftv's was from an earlier version than we have considering the geometry is different in the hallway on the ones closer to siggraph and don't match the screenshot.

Also something to note about this screenshot is that player is holding a weapon that has a completely different ammo counter than anything from half-life

i know this is off topic but it has to do with the citizen.

The code of the citizen npc has the name citizen17.cpp and this is a reference to the texture file of the gasmask citizen

Nice, but it looks slightyl different. Why is there no HUD?
May I ask where you found this pic?

I wonder why noone has any idea how to use bb codes. It's pretty simple, just press the "insert image" button, copy the direct link for the image and set a custom height so the image won't be full in your message. Here's an example of the code and how it looks in message:

I don't understand this modern trend of "upscaling" screenshots from the Beta. It does not add any detail at all.

How would it add detail? It can't create what's not there, only approximate, which is another word for "sample and guess". Look at the TV. It even became round there on the corner, while the original model was, I give you 100%, just rectangular.

And the bricks on the floor became rounded triangles and we HAVE that exact texture so we know it's wrong.

Sorry but this thing just failed.

Yes, not really adding "details" rather than decreasing noise.

While I agree with the posts above, I actually do think it worked with the citizen face. We've got a less obscured nose now and good look at the face modelling. It may not be correct but it's a nice approximation none the less.

I didn't say it should add detail, but it seems that most people who "upscale" these images assume it has some magical powers that add detail.

Upscaling does not work for screenshots. I'd say it's pretty good for textures, but mostly it's best to just recreate textures at a larger scale. Upscaling is mostly intended for irl photos or 2D artwork / anime screenshots (depends on the software).

Edit: I change my mind on the texture statement thanks to The Renegadist's post, lol. I think it's an even better idea to upscale then add to / edit the upscaled image.

I'd say it has magical powers.
