Timezone/lag issues aside, I'm sure it would work provided the set-up is stable and the people in charge come up with regular events, etc. Give me or any of the Steam group admins a shout if you need events set up in the future.
It's not a question of space - most good hosts nowadays provide unlimited hosting/bandwidth, including the one TWHL is hosted on.
It is a question of creating a system to back up the map files though. That might take some time.

Grabbing that as soon as I get my paycheck!
Quite enjoying Kavinsky's new album too!
On a complete tangent,
Andreya Triana - Draw the Stars
Fantastic voice. Also the intro has a Tom Waits-ish vibe to it, can't go wrong with that.

Goldwave. Free & easy-to-use. Suits all my basic audio editing needs.
World.cpp in the server project, CDecal class. Forgot the exact name of the method, but I referenced the one for static decals.
It's interesting how the bounding box appears to be smaller than the one defined in the game code. Then again, there's probably stuff to do with projecting the decal in the engine that changes things. Either way, good to see some consistency.

In the game code it determines the world geometry affected by tracing along the min/max of a 10x10x10 bounding box centered around the origin of the infodecal.
That makes sense on the left, as the bottom brush might be more than 5 units away from the infodecal origin. It's not as clear in your other screenshots, but I'd start from that figure.

You need to be more specific with your posts. Random "plz help me i am not good with computer" topics won't get you any proper attention or help.
If you expect others to spend their valuable time helping you (or in this case, doing your work for you), the least you could do is put some effort into properly explaining what you want done. You can't expect complete strangers to just pop up and do things for you off of a quickly-written 2-sentence post.
If you're not sure, read this tutorial for a better explanation of what I mean. It's aimed at mod proposals, but the general idea applies here too.

You should release a hacked version of Hammer 3.5 that enabled plugins like this. Great work!
They want a bland map with clear lighting, no dark areas and 300 fps.Too true - it's a massive shame.
Will check it out later on!
Alright, getting some official-er screenies out here.Good stuff, Dimbark!
And can I convert from maya to max without losing uv, smoothing, and texture data?COLLADA or any other modern generic format should work fine. Both Maya and Max have official parsers. OBJ is nice as well from what I hear.
Year-late reply, but holy shit de_cistern looks awesome. How balanced is it right now? Would be awesome to see that bad boy pop up in tournaments etc.
Transfer the Maya assets to Max via an intermediary format (Collada, Obj etc.) & export from there? You should have access to the free student suites from Autodesk as a UK student.
I saw a hearing on the shootout earlier today on BBC. Loved how the NRA lobbyist basically said the problem was with the school system not arming itself to the teeth or hiring armed security. Not enough guns being bought, people! Get your act together.

Perfect concentration tracks for SC2 laddering.
I'm really enjoying the new Soundcloud by the way. I like how any random tune can take you just about anywhere via the related tracks on auto-play. Been discovering loads of awesome fresh stuff on it recently.

Woah, that's some sick speed mapping skills. Amazing progress for a day - how did you pull it off?
That's Dutch. But yeah, what's the vote about?

A MotM-winner-only tourney spanned across multiple days on HLDM, CS 1.6, CS Source, TF2 and Flat-Life Multiplayer! ~20 maps in total. Same frag/ticket system we've used for the previous tournaments. I'll pitch in for the prizes.
This would also provide a unique opportunity for different continents to host & level the playing field, as opposed to the usual EU-based slaughter.

Thanks! I guess I kept it on as a desperation tool for late-night leak hunting in terrain, etc. Doesn't really warrant a desktop shortcut, but it can help every now and then when you end up missing obvious leaks due to fatigue.

High-fives indeed, yo! Super-excited to finally play this.
I think it's an awesome idea to release what they have up to Xen. Most of my favourite moments in the game happened in those chapters anyway.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Overlooked Trapt's original journal announcing the exact same thing. Derp.

- You can now Download the Black Mesa Soundtrack, courtesy of our very own Joel Nielsen, at the very generous price of whatever you want! Enjoy and share!
- In the near future you'll see our Website, Wiki and Forums all taken down temporarily for renovations.
- On September 14th you will see the first release of Black Mesa! This will include our re-envisioning of Half-Life all the way up to Lambda Core. We believe this is a great way to provide a complete-feeling 8-10 hour experience with a solid ending, make our fans happy and help us make the best overall game possible.

Bruce's idea sounds right. Not sure how the engine renders scaled transparent textures though, it might just end up being a blurry solid edge. Can't think of any other way though. A model perhaps?
One of the lead devs said it's coming out "soonish" in a recent interview. I'd guess that's another year or so down the line.
Not sure if I like the soldiers' voice acting. Maybe it'll grow on me, but at the moment I would've preferred regular voices. To me it just doesn't sit right with the rest of the mod being ultra-attentive to adding realism/logic to the original environments.

Unity. It's 3D, but you can easily set it up for 2D games. It's probably the fastest prototyping platform out there at the moment - I'd definitely check it out.

The roofs look kind of bland at the moment, but I'm assuming the player won't be able to see them from the ground level.
Also you could add more variation to the gutter piping along the walls of the red brick building. Think Victorian housing blocks with the plumbing on the outside.

Daubster can tell you the details on what we have over here @ LithuaniaDon't take my word for it (source of data)
The communications infrastructure is ridiculously well-established for such a small country. Fiber optic has pretty much been standard in city households for the past 3 years or so (i.e. the national telecom has been offering it as part of their cheapest standard packages). AFAIK, the fastest plans you can get nowadays offer 1 gbit d/l speeds at around £25/$33 per month.
In contrast, I am currently paying £30/month for a 60mbps connection with a very restrictive fair use policy in the UK.
