Is that a 64bit operating system? WON is only 32bit, that might be why
What about me...

If you have a tutorial, post here saying that you want to be a content contributor, and have custom titles.
Just reading through this and i think that the world will end up like the movie 'idiocracy' only all the dumb people live in one half of the world and all the smart people live on the other half! They will probably draw a big line...
I wonder which side i'll end up on...

Nah, you should get one without the hand, FarCry is just so pretty!!!! 
P.S. I finished in in 32 hours!

Actually it is possible, it requires use of the entity func_train for both the doors and and elevator and some serious coodination, if you don't have a good working knowledge of func_trains then it is really hard to explain. Basically, all buttons target a multimanager which will first target the doors to close, remember they are trains and that path_corners have the 'wait for retrigger' flag. What the doors do is move sideways to close and then when triggered again they move upwards to a path corner on the second floor. At exactly the same time, trigger the elevator to move up to the second floor with the doors. It doesn't always look perfect but it does the trick. Please let me know if you need more explaining
My desktop is crystal clean. No desktop icons and i even go and hide the start menu for extra workspace (like 1cm) lol
Well, there you go!
Hey, where is the awesome screenies and update thread then!?!?!?

Yeah, or something completely "Off Its Fucking Head?"Lol, there is actually a mod called that, HLOIFH
Does that mean you have to promise three times before you actually promise?? lol 
Can't wait though!
Can't wait though!
1. Another Black Mesa MOD. This time you're a janitor. No custom models aside from Opfor hands.already done, look up CAD mod (cleaners adventures)
Even if you wanted to change levels in CS, that would take some massive CPU power. Think about it, lets say the server (the person hosting the map) walks into the changelevel trigger and moves to the next map. All the other players would still be on the first map so the server would have to load both maps AND manage both. Unfortunately, while this would be an awesome feature, Goldsource just can't support it, that and you won't be able so see the people on the other map, its not possible.
On the note about the CS SDK, it was never released, because it wasn't actually made by valve. Two guys made it and submitted it to valve to approval and they liked it so much that they branded it. CS was made by Gooseman and cliffe.
With those 'game' triggers, they are the only ones that you can use in a map. Why you ask! Because although those other triggers you want do exist (in code) they are not open, as in, the map cannot alter or even give them an input. So they are unusable. As for those other ones (freezer_udoor and mousetrap) i have never heard of them.
Also with a mirror effect you want, this is possible. The Spirit of HL mod has actually developed real-time reflections, this uses MASSIVE amounts of processor power on the old Goldsource engine and the small tester map i saw had awful framerates. Whats more, Spirit is not CS so again, not possible.

Ima give a promise that it will happen this weekend.You've promised that three times already! There are so many delays that i've had time to completely move house and not miss anything!
Definitely get an Asus motherboard, i have an Asus laptop and its a sweet machine. It has NEVER been bogged down, even with massive compiles, i can still do other things like play HL with no lag. You will need more ram. Mine is 3gb and that has room for upgrade. You will want at least 3gb for good performance.
It's just my preference, but you should get at least a 250+ gb HDD and then use a much larger external drive for data storage. If you have high-powered USB ports, some external drives can use two USB ports, one for data transfer and one for power. This greatly improves you system by allowing much more swapspace for programs which gives you better speed. And don't worry about longer USB data transfers. By a good external drive and the transfer rate can be better than your HDD transfer rate. I even have my old WON version of Half-Life installed on my External drive and I have no trouble whatsoever. You also have a very handy backup if you computer decides to kick the bucket (or you decide to upgrade)

I go all retro and use an auto-desktop changer to cycle randomly through pictures of all the upcoming games and some sweet graphic designs. I'd post them but i don't have them with me.
Whaaah! Why does my life need to be threatened, BTW, I don't live right there, its just that my house doesn't yet exist on that map, hey, the whole suburb is missing! But, attck me if you wish, send some of those sonic gun equipped dolphins from Red Alert! lol
The last Ep3 must be close to release now, Ep2 didn't take very long to be released after Ep1. After which, then who knows!
I don't know for sure, but trigger_changetarget will only change a keyvalue that is named 'target'. I'm pretty sure path_corners have a 'Fire on Pass' field that means to target an entity when the train reaches it, so this may actually be the 'target' field that the trigger_changetarget is trying to change. Thats probably why it won't work. Only func_track_trains have the ability to branch paths but even then, it won't work for different floors.
As a prize i want Christmas delayed by 2 weeks for extra Santa's revenge mapping time! lol
Me too, i looked on the map and my house doesn't even exist yet! So i put in perth, close enough!
Are you kidding! We should pay these people LOTS of money, so they can take off with it and buy fancy webcode, spend more time on the net, lose their jobs because they are not at work so often, and then we have to support them for the rest of their lives. LOL. That, and i can't give you money, i don't have/want a credit card or paypal-usable account
Also, I'm not here very often, I work full time, study part time, map alot of free time and no internet at home, hence my very limited TWHL contact.
And I forgive you for being late, I understand how hard the simplest things can be (aged care work teaches you much, young grasshopper). Reviews can be quite daunting to write, i've tried to do a few large ones but I just end up babbling on.
Also, I will not paint anyones house red. I will choose green and pink polkadots!

NOOOOOOO! Don't give them ideas! They'll take even longer!
Seriously, if you don't keep your word and post the results this weekend I will hunt you down and paint your house bright red!!

I have one, it is an actual player model, i have yet to see it used in-game but it uses the original monster animations in replacement of the player ones. As far as i can tell it should work. You download the XDM half-life mod, thats where i got it from:

Im an Aged carer, studing to be a Registered Nurse. Keeps me busy anyway!
BTW, does anyone know when the SDK is released?
how about you're waiting for an airlift in the middle of a school football fieldReally, airlifts are quite bland, we need something new, which is why I opted for a train.
(apparently SOMEONE decided to copy my ending as well! lol)
I'm not picky.I thought it was gonna die. scared the shit outta me
(not really lol)

Hurrah!
P.S. HURRY UP!!!

Well, thats a real pain in the ass! We can still design a new type of town though so what should we aim at? I was just playing through Death Toll and I liked Riverside but it would be too urban for this campaign. We also need a good place to start. I came up with an idea for a very large highway, with 4 lanes and a divider in between. Survivors have to make their way along weaving around breaks in the road (as it's a long way down because its over a canyon) and crashed cars and other obstructions. At the end they leave via an offramp which goes straight into the town.
@ZombieLoffe
Don't worry about it too much, as I am still relatively new to the Source mapping thing but this is why I want to do this, to get practice and learn 'The Power of Source' lol
Also, I wanted to avoid the hassle of having a messy community built project, instead having a community designed project, i will do the mapping but will post updates and pics and betas as often as possible, seeing as I have pretty much cleared my project schedule!

No, you'll turn into one of those white see-thru bugs that live in caves and you will then proceed to be the pun of all bad jokes. Honestly though, it is personal choice. I don't like live chat rooms and things like myspace and youtube, they just don't appeal to me because there is no direction to them, basically you make them up as you go along. here, we are focused on a general subject, even if we don't actually stay on subject. *frowns at some particular other members 
ROFL! That's a deformed spider, loses half its value!
Tell you what, you can keep that chest of gold at the end of my map, just have to knock off gman first!

Alright, this could work. We need to organize though
So, just to organize:
We have players start in a 'Pripyat' style town. Or, start on a large highway that goes straight into the town. Then get through the town into forest. Get through forest into lumber yard with mines (i decided the two should be combined) and then a finale which i have drawn up a short storyboard up for:
There is already a forrest map in L4D btwThere are actually several 'forest' themes maps, but no two forests are the same!

There's cardboard under those bills! I just know it!
Very inspiring pics there Striker, i don't think a space version really works as there won't be any usable content that resembles a space station or anything. I think we should focus around the mines, although I haven't completely played through L4D yet, i didn't see any maps working though a mine. And we can make them look as good as Ep2 caves because L4D is better than the Ep2 engine.
Ok, so when the L4D SDK is released, i plan on immediately going about and creating a new L4D campaign. However, I plan to make this a more public project and I want YOU (the ones reading this) to offer feedback and input ideas. So, with that, since we can't actually do any mapping yet, lets get the storyboard and features of this project completed first.
First up:
Locations!
Input some possible locations to build this game. eg, forest, town, city, whatever. Keep in mind we will need 5 locations and they need to link together in a sensible fashion.
My first idea was start in a small town, escape town to forest/river, get to mining facility, enter mines, escape map (no ideas yet here)
Please, offer any ideas you have, this is a TWHL community project!

I wouldn't take your offer either, the gold looks so like chocolate money! And you already offered chocolate!
is there a leak? hl2 HATES leaks
lol! This means i have been playing and mapping for a 3D engine for 10 years! Hurrah!
VAC is global. Check your Steam settings, you get a black mark against your account. Otherwise, i don't know how you bypass it!
Yes that is almost exactly what it says, it doesn't give any information about why or anything, it just says it can't load, i have had this error crop up a few times and it really annoys me, as i don't know how to fix it.
FIXED!!! YAY! Turns out Hunter was right! You actually have to completely restart Half-Life after building the cubemaps, not just restart the map. Thanks all!
lol, try
"director_force_panic forever"
by the end of the first map i had 0ver 350 kills! the bots had 100 +each

I seem to get Bill all the time when i pick a random character, mind you, i seem to like bill the most, his voice actor, i know him from somewhere! Anyway, I hosted a online server for a while on normal and we had some fun on that. Now, however, I have already kicked up the level to advanced and tried it on my own, (while im offline). I can't get past the last subway train. By then we've all used our healthkits and on no more than 25% health. Then we get swamped by either two hoards of zombies or a tank. I like getting to the end of the first level though, my score is usually 150+ with each other player killing approx 50. THATS A LOT OF FREAKING ZOMBIES!!!
Ok, i will try both of those.
I thought you only had to disconnect from the map, not shut down HL, that might be whats wrong!

Just played the demo, it took 1hr 12 minutes, it was very good, look forward to it's release!
i have, changed focus, brightness, even the type of light, it still does that
Yes, for both HDR and non-HDR.
I do have a few friends with good internet connections, but like i said, they are not interested in L4D and don't want to buy it.
#EDIT# Well, in that case, it wouldn't be too hard to get a game every now and then, still, i have to wait until it goes retail.
