Lol. Crumpets rock. I have them with Vegemite.... mmm.....
Yar, I didn't mean for them to be implemented... but we can still use them as [imgs], can't we? They rock anyway. 
They're from HLfallout. I reckon they're beyond awesome.
They're good for when you say something funny or sarcastic. Just put 'em on the end of your post.

Habboi, would it be ok to ask for you to stop pimping this shit?
I mean, you can pimp occasionally, like Rabid, but it seems every single one of your more recent posts has a link to it somewhere. Honestly.
Just stop.

A section concerning Half-Life news'd be great. An area where people can post about mod media updates, interviews, or anything new related to HL1 or HL2. People can then comment on them, etc.
Dunno if other people would like this, but I think it'd be great.

With the development of a PM system going on, I'd like to mention that I quite like how the SnarkPit sends you a PM when you get a comment on one of your maps. It's handy, you know?
Whilst we are on the subject of making things SnarkPitish, the ability to have one major screenshot (like we have now) and perhaps 3-4
s on the side with all the other information would be great.
Also, we should make some little updates for Source. When a map is being uploaded, and HL2 or CS:S is chosen in the game box, you should then be able to select VMF, as opposed to RMF as it is now.

Rating system needs to be changed badly.
Btw, congrats Antwan.

Rotating it around the Z axis is fine, as it keeps the same layout and will not be noticed in game.
Why would he need Steam? HL1 compilers create a BSP, and BSPviewer works fine.....
Ergh, habboi, are you mentally retarted or challenged by any chance? 
Worth noting that if you have the compile tools, you can compile and then see what it looks like in BSP Viewer if you wish. It could be helpful.
Yar, just make stuff at work, and email the RMF back home and stuff. Should work a treat.

I'm not willing to make one, but if someone else wants to they can, by all means.

First of all, let me start off by telling everyone to stop answering questions on assumptions. Leave it for me to answer.
YOu included a extremely annoying curve in the layout, can i delete that and make it 90 degree? Or something else that fits?Yes, you can change that. It is explained in the rules: 'You can change the shape of the path. This means that instead of square corners, you can round them and so on. A good example of this shown below. Both lead to the same place, hence they do not change the layout, but make the map more interesting and detailed.'
No dont let him thats just like totally unfair. Work it into da map.Shut the hell up and don't tell me what to do. Thank you.
srry if this had already been answerd but can you add rooms INSIDE the floor plan/box..or am i out of line?!?!As explained in the rules: 'You can add more accessible areas, just as long as they stay inside the original floor plan (you can't extend it, but you can build upon it).' Go to the rules and find it, and take a look at the pictures to help understand it.
yeh I think you can, I have.
Nop, you cant add any extra rooms.Refer to top of this post.
cant u have dividers inside the actual rooms layed out?I assume you are asking whether you can add walls inside areas to split them into two rooms. Yes, you can.
Ok, I'm gonna clarify something here. The 'corridor' areas can be widened, but NOT MUCH. Just so they can line up with the other walls.
This is because the original layout was more 'indoorish', but with the new widenings, it's much more outdoor friendly.
Take a look at the image below - the red areas are what can be widened and how far the can be widened to. These are the only accessible areas which you can add to the layout.
Any questions about it, feel free to ask.

hlgaming rocks. I recommend them.
(Link fixed now, sorry about that)
Er... yes you do. 
Well the majority were Australians... but what could they show of the locals? They're dead, and their family probably wouldn't speak English... who knows.. :
Damn straight.
I'm now expecting everyone else in this community to go 'wtf is the Bali Bombing?'

This is getting shitloads more publicity than the Bali Bombing ever did (I think it was a couple years ago), and the Bali Bombing killed 202 people or something, 188 of those were Australians.
What does this prove? The media only gives a shit about Europe and USA.

I'd hardly call it 'terrain' if it had no turns.
Er.. You HAVE to cut them in half or you'll get invalid solids, nub.
You mean 'barely playable,' don't you? Lol.
Habboi, no making it bigger. That'd be unfair.
The layout is fairly is small, but it's not REALLY small. It's probably too big for 1 on 1, with 3 players it's nice, but I can also see it working with 10-12 players and possibly more.
Just try and maximise the space available to you in large areas (don't fill it with huge amounts of props, etc.)

You get the olympics... It also seems you get a terrorist attack a day later. Bad news.
Gameplay is good because the layout has good connectivity and flows well... I've got no idea what you're on about to be honest.
Violence is not the answer......
I didn't read the guys post, and I saw you say Example map, so I went and found a Ravenholm trap example map by you... I probably should've read the first post. xD
I'm not sure what you're saying. I think what you're saying is that I added this when I shouldn't have?
Here's a picture to help you understand why it was allowed:
(sorry about the bad picture quality, MS Paint sucks.
The 'field' is just a big lump of displacement, and has been clipped, meaning its just the same as it would be if I had a wall there. It just helped give the map a bit more of an 'open' feel, whilst keeping the same layout. Do you understand?

I see. Ignore my idiocy.
Err, it's almost impossible to get invalid solids whilst using the triangle technique unless you really fuck something up pretty bad.
Post in problem maps, and we shall examine it.

Ergh. Neo - Shut the fuck up or get banned. Seriously. You're being a fucking dickwad now.
Hmmm... yes, he does need a good slapping. Perhaps it's time to slap him with our uber awesome Matrix powers? 
Yes.
Example map will be released today. I'm not sure whether I should release it in its current state, or to fix some very minor bugs and add a bit of detail. To be honest, the map isn't really detailed, but it isn't ugly or whatever. Remember, I made it in a day!
Check out the screenies here.
Ok, so I've whored out the most generic theme possible. Now, I'm begging people to not do anything remotely similar to mine.
Also, we now know that the layout works well, which was evident during the playtest with Rabid and Doodle last night.

HL1 compos are still very much existant! We're just waiting for Atom to post it. I'll be entering it, that's for sure.
Congrats dude.
Yep.
Also, if you have made a change to the layout which you are not sure is allowed, screenshot it, and either post it here, email me, talk to me on IRC or whatever.
Nah, you're not stupid. Maybe I should make it more obvious where to get the floor plan from.
Dude, you have over 2 months to do it... 2 weeks shouldn't do much.. Just start in 2 weeks or whatever.
I'm not quite sure what you are asking there, Kasperg. You can add anything that you like, just as long as the player cannot access it. Inaccessible areas are a great way to add detail, whilst still not changing the layout. So yes, you can create areas which cannot be accessed, and you can add 3d skyboxes and stuff. Just don't add areas which can be accessed, and it should be fine.
If you have any other questions or queries, feel free to ask.
