p.s.what's mspaint anywayMSpaint = Microsoft Paint (Paint, as you see it in your programs).
I'm not going to work on the hev zombieYou should, same with the other models - the textures look blurry, grainy and low on detail. If you lack the skills, find a texture artist to do the job for you.
Otherwise - the models are quite nice; Any mapping media?
Aww, ok, anyone got any ideas for mods?Personally, I think it's pretty hard just taking someone's idea and starting a mod based on it. You'd be much better off thinking of something original yourself and giving it a shot.
CAN NOT DECOMPILE MAPS! HOW COULD HE POSSIBLY OPEN A BSP?Hammer 4 -> Export to .map
Open .map in Hammer 3.5.
As for the mod, I don't see any point in remaking HL2 on a much older engine. I also don't see this getting far. You'll most likely manage re-creating one, maybe two chapters, see how utterly hard and pointless it is and give up. That's my personal opinion.
Keep up the flamewars and this'll be closed.

Make up your mind, spamming ideas like this won't help you get a proper team.
Think it over for a while, then post.

Pure win. 
.. should I count this in as your vote?
And yeah, I'd also have to say de_mon > Alpestrine. Both visually and gameplay-wise. De_mon is close to revolutionary for a CS map in terms of gameplay and visuals vs. performance, while Alpestrine, even if looking very nice, was just killbox-like with weapon and powerup spam.

The story of Azure Sheep answers your question.
Wrong forum. Moved to HL Engine discussion.
As for the error, you've most likely configured something wrong and hammer doesn't work. If you were so kind as to post exactly what you're trying to do and what goes wrong, we might even have an idea on how to help you out..

As for the mod - it's a half-decent idea, though lacking originality imo. Any screenshots of the new models?

This is utter ridiculousness.The results are what they are, the current Top 3 of Best of 03-06 looks right to me. As for MotY, why the surprise? Only like 5 people bothered voting.
Can anyone break that [m]MotY[/m] tie up so we can be through with this?
We now have 3 winners with 7 points. You get another day, break up that tie!

Nice media, however the mapping's pretty much below average in screenie #2. The room really needs detail and objects like supports, etc. to break up those plain walls.
Your compile params might be borked. Try "-cliptype precise" for CSG.
Voting ends tomorrow.

The demo's closer than you think. Expect media from the programming department soonish.
It's defined by certain entities in the map.
Like, if it's a bomb defuse map, you add a func_bomb_target to enable that game mode (Terrorists recieve C4, etc.)
Same with as_oilrig, once a func_vip_safetyzone is placed in the map, the teams are restricted of buying some of the weapons.
You couldn't really implement this in a non-as_ map, though, since with the safetyzone in the level - one of the CTs would always spawn as the VIP.

Excellent thinking, saw. 
Prefabs can be a good timesaver in smaller side-projects, though. (my Tunnel Door map used a BM Tram prefab)
Um.. Guys? I sorta.. dropped the soap.. again.
Awesome, thanks for the votes, folks. 
I remember Tetsu posting a Rune Goldberg machine competition that never really got anywhere. It'd be kickass to revive that, since that field has literally endless possibilities and lets you utilize pretty much anything in any way.
So, the new challenge is:
Make a Rune Goldberg Machine
For those, who don't know what a Rune Goldberg machine is, just go to Youtube and search for it. Lots of examples.
Also, to make judging easier and the competition fairer, your machine shouldn't consist of more than 50 objects (anything that triggers the following action is an object; e.g. gas canister with a fuse, teeter-totter with a ball on it, toy car with its controller and a ramp, etc.).
Kudos to Tetsu0 for a great idea. If you were thinking of reviving this yourself, do let me know and I'll change this one.
May the most resourceful mapper win!

Oh wow, Tosse's back to mapping! 
Command line: "C:C2Valve Hammer Editortoolshlbsp.exe"-low"-low" sets your compile tools' process priority to low. That has to slow things down moderately. Get rid of it.
What you say !!
This isn't going anywhere. At all.
Be it not the best way of handling this, but please stop posting here if you feel like giving halflifedude a lesson on how not to be ignorant. If he thinks bitching like a stubborn 7-yr-old will get him a team - let it be.
So, unless you have comments on the media, want to apply for a position in the mod or feel like greeting a complete ass in a polite way, go right ahead.
Otherwise - simply stop. It's his loss in the end anyway.

There might be some converter, though to my knowledge, the only way is to extract every image and convert it to .vmt manually.
Some people might not feel like giving away their good ideas instead of executing them themselves.
I'm not saying this thread is fail. It's just that you'll mostly be getting either medicore, plain stupid or no ideas at all. ;<

what am i sopposed to make, then?How about making sense?
If for some reason you can't stand free custom textures, point that out and keep your shit out of this thread.

Nothing new.
Hunter still can't map for HL1, I'm busy with 6-D/OIFH atm, the rest of the team seems to have given up.
What we have is a roughly 60-75% done mod and untill we get our shit together (you will be noted once we manage that) - this is on complete hold. In other words - dead for now.
"Have faith"? Not really.
Eventual revival is all I can say.

Come to think of it, having a bot named after you could be part of the prize in the FL mapping compo.
Very nice.
Is Valve trying to take over the world?Can't say that sounds like bad news.
Steamworks sounds awesome. Even if it's an obvious way for the Steam network to spread to a scale beyond imaginable, it's still very good news for any smaller gamedev company.
Glad you voted, Cap'n. :>

I think that somehow happens because of bluish lighting, combined with changing render modes during hiding/showing the plates.
That happens to me aswell on 1400x900. Hammer can't fully handle widescreen, I suppose.

Wow, thank-you! (Placed badge in profile aswell )
I'll explain how it works with an example to make things clearer. Let's say it's rotating a number plate from 8 to 9. Here's what happens.
1) Number plate 8 is triggered to rotate and show the following number on it's back (9 in this case).
2) Alongside plate 8, plate 9 is triggered to rotate back to it's front side, since it's been rotated to it's back side in the last frame (just like 8 is in this frame).
3) Plate 8 is hidden.
4) Plate 9 is shown.
So yeah, you pretty much understood how it works.

A StarCraft battlecruiser? Perfectly possible, just way too hard to get all the details right.
Very nice, Tetsu & Ant, but no-one's made the actual clean-looking thing, though.
I'll give it a try tonight.
