I just realized that it's possible to compile a map with leaks without having it come out fullbright.
I used to believe that's impossible, but it's true.

Okay.
Did someone say "nuts"?
My wife and I went to Italy for our honeymoon.
It was the PWN!

is an april fools joke or not
But here is a collection of pranks that I did.
If it weren't boorishly inappropriate, I'd drag the fun of our Snarkpit conversation in here.You just did.
Whoo! for Leslie Young, M.D.Heh. I am very aware of the fact that I can no longer be anonymous from this point on.
Nice life accomplishment, writing a book.But it's no where near as fun as making a map.
I can heal, and I can maim (in a deathmatch, that is).
You must be an expert on the subject then, I presume?I've been working as a pediatrician for the last eight years.
I want to punch the kid on the cover.Yeah, I asked the publisher to change the picture, but they refused.
Is it available in stores.. Like B&N?It will be by the end of this month.
At least that's what the publisher tells me.
Okay, this has absolutely nothing to do with gaming or mapping, but I still want to shout it out.

When I looked back, I can't believe that I've been here for three years already.
I was interviewed by Calisto from Gaming Girls.
And of course, I credited TWHL for inspiring me to create GamingParents and play more games.

Hey, I am a grown man, and I still think it's amusing with the dick face.
Nice!
I'll take a look.

Once Scott's born, there will be more settings and flags.
Awe man, Muzzle!
That's classic.
May I steal that pic for my blog?

Hmm...hard to translate TWHL. It'll be very long, since Chinese writing isn't based on an alphabetical system.
And here is Scott's Chinese name:

How can I turn off the propeller sound from a gunship?
Or at least mute it until a certain part in the game?

Additional improvements have been made.
- 3D skybox modified
- skybox brush raised
- player_clip added (prevent from jumping out of the map)
- RPG added in secret compartment
- alarm now plays properly
- minor performance enhancement
Thanks for the feedback.
I'll take all those suggestions into consideration for the next update.
P.S. Did anyone try the trap?

I am releasing the last beta version of dm_vertico.
It's being playtested at 209.247.83.150:27015 (HL2DM).

I have an ambient_generic sound (Streetwar.d3_c17_10b_alarm1) that plays locally when I create a LAN server, but it doesn't play when I upload the map to the server.
The remote server is probably missing this sound file, but how can I upload the sound to the remote server so it plays?
Thanks.

Thanks, Kasperg. I'll take a look at your example when I get home.

I am having problems with the bombing effect.
I created a very small test map to test the setup.
Can anyone take a look at the problem map and let me know how to fix it?
Thank you.

There is an effect for which the area looks "blurry" as in a gas leak or high heat. It's seen in the Ravenholm gas trap.
Does anyone know how to implement that? I don't know what it's call so I cannot search for the Wiki for tutorial.
Thanks.

Thanks guys!
I have another question.
I want to set up a "trap" in the missile silo so that when a player presses a button in a control room, there is a count-down before all the players inside the silo will die (from a massive trigger_hurt). This same concept is used in the official dm_runoff.
My questions are:
1. How do I set up a timer?
2. How do I set up an alarm sound that is audible throughout the entire map?
3. Do I trigger a func_trigger with "On_Use" and output to "Activate" the trigger_hurt?
4. Another button (inside the trigger_hurt area) will turn off the alarm.
Thanks in advance!

I want to advertise GamingParents somewhere in dm_vertico.
How do I incorporate an image as a texture into a map?

Thanks for the tip, but I want to make dm_vertico both gameplay friendly as well as easy on the eyes.
I ended up making dm_vertico myself.
It still has a lot more work to be done, but the basic layout is set.

Can't wait for TF2!
[EDIT]: Doh! I didn't see that it's the same one as Luke's.
make his middle name satchmo!Well, my wife and I already agreed that his middle name is going to be her father's name, David, to honor his first grandson.
Scott David Young
"Scott" was inspired by Cyclops from the X-Men.
Listen to what my friend has to say about "Scott":
Isn't cyclops the whiney one who can't open his eyes or he'll kill his family? "Wah, wolverine is so much stronger than me, wah, wolverine took my woman, wah, I can't see, wah, my unitard is going up my butt." Magneto is also stronger than cyclops. Are you sure you've explored all the options?

He's already learned the basic strategy of deathmatch--always keep moving.
He never stopped moving around during the ultrasound.
My son ain't gonna be no camper.
I can't wait to teach him how to use the gravity gun.

We've finally agreed on a name--Scott.
No, he won't be a Gordon.
I actually have an idea for a map, but I just don't have time to make it myself. I am working fourteen hours a day, seven days a week during this flu season.
It's going to be called dm_vertico (a combination of vertigo and vertical). It has a combine theme, and the arena is inside a missile silo.
It has four levels, with a central silo and two concentric layers surrounding it. The inner layer has various platforms sticking out, allowing the players to engage one another from the various levels.
In addition, there are combine balls floating along the side of the silo, and the player can zap the balls with the g-gun as ammo (but not able to pull the balls out and shoot them).
The elevator shaft for Episode One was the original inspiration for this map.
If anyone is interested in making this map, let me know. If it's done well, I'll be sure to run this on my server.

Don't disparage small maps.
I'm evaluating dm_drift now. It's a truly gorgeous map, and it's small.

I am looking for the best HL2DM maps that are suitable for 1v1 gameplay.
I want more custom maps on my game server rotation, but I don't want large maps that dilute few players. I don't want people to run around in the map and never find each other.
Any suggestions?

The blue background makes the text very hard to read.

Hey Satch? When your young'un is old enough to operate a keyboard will you let him/her come on to TWHL. We promise we'll only warp him/her a little.Of course!
I'll tell her/him "This is how daddy grew up and became a weirdo/supergeek".
He/she has the ability to not go to school with just a piece of paper that his/her father can write. smile -Except that it'll never happen. Unless my child is on an artificial breathing machine, she/he will be going to school.
I think I missed one day of school in ten years.
Gattaca is awesome!
You can get more for your money if you build it yourself.
Haha. How did you fail to persuade them that you were a doctor? Surely you could, you know, talk about medical things?They didn't believe me even though some of them sought medical advice from me about their babies.
Maybe it's the hormones, but they could be quite bitchy.
