place a level change trigger at the beginning of the 2nd map... I dont have experience with then yet... but I know you need that one so that the map change trigger from map # 1 knows to put the player there in map # 2. Fidgit with the options untill you have it to your liking. Also put an info_player_start in so if you choose to load the map via console, you end up there.

My offline mode is stupid: It still doesn't let me play and I dont know why 
I dont like the fact that you A) MUST have internet to play their games, and B) HAVE to be connected in order to play. Other than that, though, Steam is okay.
Wow! What an awesome crapper. I need to get a copy of HL1 so I can start modeling some toilets too! 
Just out of curiosity, what are your comp specs? They may be just enough to run HL2, but perhaps not an area so large.
You know you're obsessed with HL when you map for it! 
Such is life, srry 
I also think that this thread ought to be moved to the HL1 Forum because of the new meaning it's taken on. It would get more viewer coverage because more ppl are there than in this forum ;). I suppose that the 1st couple of pages would be a bit confusing for some viewers though, so perhaps a new thread could be made? Just a thought

I suppose we could put up "Advertisements" in the news page or front page. We may also want to put a link for them up where the link for the regular compo is, up in the top right corner.
Im sure that would attract attension .

.the vid shows a smothe movement through the 2 enterances.. not an instantaneous movement, like a teleport. I wonder how they might have done that.
They look damn good rim! Far superior to my Paint drawing by far!
it was that 9 dollar thing that threw me off.
yeah, but if they paied a total of 27, and the bellboy has 2, total = 29. 1 short. That's what were looking for
Edit: woah, i just had a revalation:
30 - 5 = 25, 5 - 2 = 3, 25 + 3 = 28.
28 / 3 = 9.333.
Each one of em paied 9.333 apparently...(?)

but they didnt pay 27, they paied 30
I was actually thinking, after reading issue 15, "wouldnt it be awesome if GMan saved the day?" It's like you've got ESP
Gee, thanks for making it not obvious... Its a BRAIN TEASER thread. Were trying to think abstractly, and if you dont expect us to make a simple mistake like that...
It says "Brain Teaser 8:" which obviously means it's supposed to be a brain teaser... It makes no sense, unless Luke is pullin' our chain.
I dont understand what Brain Teaser 8 is asking...
That looks great rowlybob! I especially like the level of detail put into the suit and face
ok, ill draw it in paint or somthing

I have no PS skillz but i do have a good idea for a MiniCompo trophy:
Have it look like a standard compo trophy, but have a magnifying glass over it, showing that it is mini
That would be awesome!

Yeah, there's no way to get a circular lid through a smaller circular hole, but if you position the square one correctly, you can fit it through diagonally
whee i get a silver star

Why dont we just keep the same size for the lego as for the textures? No resizing, plus the player can explore through it so much more easily. Too small and then you con only look at the outside...
great idea muzz, we could use those
when I was younger, I loved to make little fortresses out of legos. perhaps we could build those?

muzzle, thats AWESOME!
Rules... hmm... well, do you think that we should name a structure to be built? Or a specific block count (which in my mind is a bad idea)?
Parhaps we should send out a base map with a large river through it and say "build the most advanced bridge over this river" or somthing like that. That would be cool .

.isnt ZHLT for hl1 only?
I had a weird error (this is for DM, mind you) where I got the exact same error except that it was "00000001 referenced at 00000001" and I had found that I forgot to put an info_player_deathmatch in. If thats the weird code you see then perhaps you had a brain-fart (like I always seem to have) and you forgot to add that in
Other than that, i have no idea

The version I remember is that the man is too short to press the top floor button, just the halfway button. Thats why he can make it all the way down, but halfway up. That rain part has me stumped though.
I really like the LEGO idea... build a castle or a bridge 
!
Just to build on that idea: i dont think custom textures should be allowed: keep it as close to a real lego piece as possible: red green blue and yellow. And if we were to prefab the pieces, they probably shouldnt all be the same shape: different shapes in every color.
An other idea is someone could take a photo of a real-life thing and everyone recreates that with their own details, like the current Source compo. That may take too long though.
/just some ideas

ahh, thanks ant.
On a different note: I use a game pad descent, steep learning curve :|and I still cant beat the 1st boss

The posing wat amazingly well done in the 6th, 7th, and 10th frames. I especially like the view of the sun in the last frame.
Last frame made me laugh

How do i get the HUD tho? I like to see what weps I have out
and how can we connect to you and have a big-ass deathmatch?

I noticed it said "No such variable "$hdrbasetexture" for material "skybox/sky_day01_01rt""
When putting in your skybox texture name in the Map Properties window, you want to remove that "rt" and the folder name from it's name. It should look like this:
Skybox texture name: sky_day01_01
Give that a shot

ok, candidates for judge:
alexb911 - 1

As the contest end date draws near, ill count up the votes, n see who will judge!

That means you're elegible for being judge!
so far, Alexb911 is our only candidate.
As for ideas on a model idea... perhaps model an NPC fighting or somthing. It doesnt have to be exact scale or anything, use the scale that gives you the level of detail you want.
Hope that helped.

Well, they latch on to your head, eat your brain, and take control of you!!
I think that would itch a bit... especially the point where your brain becomes headcrab-fodder.

I wanna get EP2 so baddly because of all 3, but I want EP1 because I dont want an out-of-place story line!

Sry it too me so long to reply, so let me get this stone rolling.
Because I have no HL1, Im not in a position to buy it ATM, and because I dont want anybody to feel that I'm playing favorites towards others on this forum, I think that the person to judge the next compo should be voted for!
The people wanting to be judges should make it clear (i.e. saying "i want to be judge" ) and then we can vote via this thread. You cant vote for yourself. Contestants also cant be judge (duh!).
I hope thats a solution everyone can agree with.

well i was going to use those textures in the train I'm making, but i just decided to replace them with prop_dynamics using a fluorescent light model, so it's all good
I searched in both locations and never found lights.rad. I used search and the only lights.rad files i found were for Zoner's, because i downloaded them not knowing that they were for HL1 at the time. No other lights.rad files were present :
I'll try that... but where do I set the skin parrameters? I dont see an option for it.
Is there a way to prevent a texture (namely "dev/dev_interiorlight02b") from automatically emitting light so I can control it manualy using regular lights?
I cant judge the entries because I dont have Half-Life 
Oh the aggony!
Oh the aggony!Here's a tip:
When making a single-player map, consider the condition the player will be in after an event. You will want to supply break-points in the level so that the player can 'catch their breath' after a difficult scenario. A good example of this could be fighting a bunch of baddies in an arena-type area and then moving the player into a chat scene with Barny, or somthing to that effect. For those of you who have HL2, take a look at the Lost Coast with the comentary; they explain it better than I do

What do you mean? like when they press a button, they automatically win?
lol, my idea is being accepted and i dont even map for Half-Life! I feel so cool 
I have an other good idea for a nice mini-compo:
Construct a statue completely out of brushes... depicting a character, event in the game, or some other thing with a great level of detail. Custom textures alowed, 3 days limit, etc.
I dont know if creating a statue would be to detailed for brushes, but I'm sure you could scale it up a bit!

well, I only put 1 light into the train, not in a position that would cause those train poles to cast shodows the way that they do. It's in the center, somewhat close to the center of the train with respect to the Y axis. Now look at the shadows, they cast at about an 80 degree angle in the same direction. The left one looks fine, but the right one is going in the wrong direction.
Regardless, I fixed the problem

I had no env_lights or shadow_controls in the map... weird
Is it normal for light to clip through brushes and cause models to cast shadows?
