Well, I'll judge it if you lot want, in conjunction with someone else or alone, makes no difference t'me.
Don't include the numbers.
I really don't think that's a good idea, especially since people can vote dozens of times. You'd just get some troll spamming it all to one-star.
Don't let people rate them!
That's far too unreliable.
I'll judge if you need someone.

Yeah, they're nice

Fair enough. HL? might be easier.
Well, gamedirvalve was the Game Directory for WON-based games, and works for me
I'm not sure quite what Hammer uses that for anyway, if it does at all.

Thanks Tycell

Heh, unlucky.
Would much appreciate a Steamophile having a look at this tutorial. Well, anyone look, comments very welcome.
If you'd done exactly as the tutorial says it'd work.

Right, this is getting off-topic.

Maybe come on IRC?
No.
i gotta start somewhereYeah, that'd be the section entitied "Where to start?"
Please, no off-topic discussion in the General Mapping forum.

No.
I ain't gunna say "Mac rocks", but it's probably more secure than Windows. Well, is.
Rabid pretty much summed it up for most people.
Macs actually run a form of Linux.

Hey, I got that one!
I posted a coupla good links a day or two ago to a similar question. There're some good sites linked to on Planet Half-Life and the Wavelength is another good site.
I believe so.
I said I was at n00bs. A newbie isn't the same as a n00b.
As for the skybox thing, that was just emphasis, not being pissed.

Oh. I shoulda noticed that.

No problem, it's the specs that matter.
Did you make them entities? If they're brush-based they'll shatter everything they touch.
Uh, no it does, I added that as I solely use GLASS_BRIGHT for external-touching windows.
It looks to urban for a cheerful game like WW.
It's something you lot can't type for 
It might lag, depends on the map.
Have you used crazy shapes, carved lots, etc.?

I think honestly it should probably be for CZ :
Just familiarity with the web.
Never knew that Flash files were remotely legible in plain-text though.

HLVIS is SLOWFrom here
outer vis rad
left side
For most well designed maps, vis should have a worst case run time of about 45 minutes on a single p2-300 class computer. If it is taking longer, then the map probably needs work to add vis blockers. Several things can make vis take way longer than usual:
First, if the world has been 'boxed in' to prevent leaks, vis has to spend large amounts of time on the exterior gaps which would normally not exist on a map without a box.
Second, The architecture which connects 'areas' together might be a bit confusing for vis to figure out. It is somewhat difficult to explain, but a few examples would be: halls lacking a wall somewhere which is not directly on the XZ or YZ plane; halls that intersect rooms on a plane other than XZ or YZ, large rooms with walls that are not vertical; halls that connect two areas but the areas can see each other through the hall; Lots of little tiny brushwork in an area (especially large areas) that is not an entity.
Third, vis is quickly brought to a crawl by large outdoor areas that are not extremely carefully constructed to not too see much 'indoors'..
And finally, using an older version of gensurf that does not support ZHLT's HINT brushes.
It is highly advised experiment heavily with test maps with sample architecture, using software mode, r_drawflat 1, and r_draworder 1 in order to see how vis works. Also, read the HINT brush tutorials described in the section on HINTs.
Try it in HL.
Stop unnecessarily bumping. If you're that impatient, get on IRC.

No, it's slightly customised by me. It's got a few more entries.
Erm, you're wrong.
Almost certain on that, they won't actually emit light, just glow un-RAD-edly.

Try TFMapped for such TFC-specific questions, there are few TFC mappers 'ere m'afraid.
Don't remember a non-Gamespy FilePlanet.
