Taking a long break from mapping.
HL2 RPG is on hold until i can get either A) A coder, or B) really find time to study up and learn how to code - Either way, the project must start again from scratch because i botched the source code and i forgot what i did so i cant fix it anyway.

Castle Disposed is all well and good, i just need to remember to map for it. This is my final semester at school so i'm really focusing on my schoolwork in the times im not playing AOE: II or BFBC2

Speaking of which, Bad company 2 is FANTASTIC! My player name is "Tetsuo Sho" if anyone wants to add me. My father bought me a new 3.2ghz processor and the game so we both can play online. And his friend has a Ventrillo server he bought so we're always a squad of 4, or 2 squads of 3 (5 others play as well)

AOE:II (Age of empires) Has been taking up most of my game development time as i'm making a 5-person RPG for it. Each person starts as a villager and has a choice to be either Cavalry, Footsoldier, or an Archer. Based on how many kills you get you upgrade classes (5 in total) and if you defeat certain objectives you get gold so you can buy further upgrades (attack bonuses, HP boosts, armor etc etc.. It takes a FUCKTON of time to code, each unit needs to be done one at a time, and there's 75 possible units for 5 players, and THEN i need to do unit respawns if you die.. so it's a huge pain in the ass and the editor is REALLY buggy - anyway

TL;DR :
Havent been doing any Hl related projects at all. I blame School, battlefield, and my friends at school who think i'm a god at coding AOE [Even tho using the map editor triggers is NOTHING like code]

Oh and Trance Techno gives me crazy inspiration while mapping / doing anything. <3

Age of Empires II is great. I didn't know the editor has a trigger system... I haven't tried to map for it since I was 12 years old.

I was never able to accomplish anything useful with map triggers in AOEII. My triggers always misfired or went wrong in one way or another. So I ended up just playing the random generated maps. Even though I really suck at it, I'd love to play online sometime, if anyone here is interested.

I don't mind waiting for the HL maps. Take care of your studies first!

I can take 5 of my friends at the same time. We always play 5v1 and i usually win :) but they're getting better everytime we play so it takes me a lot more effort every time to keep winning.

Maybe I'll keep my ass offline then.
