Too bad games like Grand Theft Auto play for shit on PC compared to Xbox huh? Oh and most games that don't involve aiming. But I guess it doesn't matter because everyone has a PC that plays every game and shit. Right?

Hmm, yeah it indeed does, although it also seems to pickup dust from the mouse pad, although i had to put on some protector tabs which could also help this effect.
It doesn't look like you are using any default textures, so you could just use -nowadtextures to include all used textures in the .bsp (less work than -wadinclude)
It looks amazing, but it has issues as a map in general. For goldsource, wpoly of 2500 and epoly of 40,000 is ridiculous. It's easy to make a pretty HL1 map when you build it like it's made for HL2! But regardless, the architecture, texturing, lighting, sound ambience, etc. are wonderful. It's clear that those polies went to good use, and aren't just the result of sloppy mapping.
In terms of gameplay, the way so much of the map is clipped off is frustrating. I've had to do those a couple times myself, but when you feel like there's an invisible barrier all around the map it's just irritating.
It feels like a pretty setpiece, but not something that's really meant to be played.

"computer--CPU, PSU, graphics card, etc."
You know those are kind of hard words for an eighteen months old to spell.
Good job!
After that, instead of teaching animals like cow, bull, lion. (old school!) Try Vortigaunt, gargantua, houndeye etc instead. Stuff he would encounter if we ever open a dimensional portal to Xen.

Hey, because of you, i can't edit my post now. Anyways, why do all the models that have transparent textures look like they have no transparency but instead, a black background. Is it because of WON hl?

Why dont u use wadinclude rimrook? Then you dont need to include the wad files. And btw, rename rimroom.wad to dev.wad = win
edit2: rimook I added you to friends .. you still didnt accepted :(:(
Really amazing, but .. I dont like the fact that you suddenly get blocked because your not supposed to go there. Like with the waterfall, you can remove the clipping. And only clip around the rocks. That looks much better.
Also you can add fades to the end of both side of the map. Then when you fade is almost 100% you restart the round. Then it looks much more natural then just a transparant wall there.
The rest, custom textures/model are superb. Maby the lights are a bit to much. But it gives a good feeling
Also, when you spawn and you walk to the pool. Look at your left .. there is a black palm model. It looks ugly Move it a bit and it looks way better.
I give 4½ stars. But because that doesnt excist .. ill give 5 !

probably wasn't done uploading when you downloaded it. Who knows whats wrong with it. Also, fountain.wad wasn't included. All should be good now... unless I forgot something, there is a ton of crap in this map.
Sorry about the example file. I sent it to the admins of this site a few days after writing the tutorial but they never bothered to update it.
I don't hang around here anymore for various reasons, but I've progressed a lot on this subject so if anyone has any questions they are free to ask me.
I probably wont' reply to messages sent on this site, but if you've downloaded any of my work - then you have my email address.

"..and about the child problem; Africa & Asia. That's all i'm sayin'."
Ever been to Africa, FresheD? The last time I visited Europe, I remember wondering how everyone lives in such overcrowded conditions...and I'm from Africa.

Captain Terror: Yeah, as I said, the weights seem like a real gimmick to me. I guess really "hardcore" gamers (or people who game at all?) would notice the difference, but I wouldn't. Without any weights, it's just the same as the mx518 which was perfect for me. As for the size of the mouse, it's the same standard frame Logitech gaming mice have used for a while. It's not massive like that Mx Revolution, but it's not small either.
pepper: I agree, I think by the third day of use I'm already breaking in/getting used to the center scroll button. The rattling I commented on wasn't severe, and I'm certain the mechanism is functioning correctly, I just like my computer equipment to be simple and stout. I don't think it would actually fall apart under normal use, but I have been known to get rough in times of frustration.
Satchmo: The tracking really is fantastic, I've just never been confronted with a situation where I have to use my desktop mouse on an undesireable surface. I think it'd be more useful on a cordless mouse, where you could literally go and sit on the couch with it or something. As it is, even my crummy Logitech Premium Optical Mouse tracks as good as the G5 does on my desk, so I can't reasonably compare.

there's no HDR for the reason that i cannot compile it atm (unsure of why atm) but if i compile it and simply leave it by itself my computer freaks out and the compilers crash, once i do find a way to fix this issue I will upload this map with HDR
playstashun is suck fail
exzboks360 suckz
PLAY PC LIEK REAL GAMERS LOL OK??
And lol360 kicks the living shit out of the fail-s3 and the Wiiner.
Oh and pretty much what everyone said.

Habboi: Cuz much better looking stuff is everywhere... like in Ep2.
[EDIT] Oh and the moving-leaves palm is just perfect for an outdoor map.
And why did I say: "How sad...To replace a picture...." :S What a nub I was.
so I'm sending this external link for more screenshots.

+Good texturing
+Good brushwork
+Good lighting
-Layout is a bit too complex (too many corridors)
-Feels a lot like de_nuke
Overall, four stars.
No. You are doing it wrong.
For British effect, try something like:
Odious little wanker.
Detestable twat.
Insufferable oaf.
Pillock.
Dullard.
Dolt.
Dastard.
Bugger.
Turd.
Tosser.
Tosspot.
etc etc.

Since clients can disable HDR, it won't affect those with low-end machines, but would provide some eye candy for those with more powerful machines.
Sprites could be set to glow, but its minor versus the rest of the map. Everything is cleanly done, well lit, and finessed with great textures.
