For a faucet, use this waterfall tutorial:
http://twhl.info/tutorial.php?id=39
Now, you'll need to modify your waterfall by using two env_renders and two trigger_changetargets.
env_render #1 targets your waterfall and makes it visible. Give this and trigger_changetarget #1 the same name. Have trigger_changetarget #1 change the target of your faucet to trigger_changetarget #2 (which will also target env_render #1)
env_render #2 targets your waterfall and makes it invisible. Give this and trigger_changetarget #2 the same name. Have trigger_changetarget #2 change the target of your faucet to trigger_changetarget #1 (which will also target env_render #1)
For flashlights, you'll be using a light_spo to project a light in a certain direction. You'll use a func_illusionary for the visible beam of light. Change the render mode to "additive" and change the render amount to somewhere around 100.
Dryers and toilets are just a matter of using the right sounds. Trigger an ambient_generic near your device whenever you turn it on.

Oh wow, nobody posted anything in the old thread since October.
Last I saw was Natural Born Killers. The cinematography was outstanding. Almost the entire film is cut in a way that replicates dreamlike pacing, and it's about as accurate as anything I've ever seen.
I hated the "protagonists" though--I still don't know if that was intended by the filmmakers.

Less...?
Or not enough?
Also, it would really suck to fall off the edge of one of those.

I can't lie, that looks like a guy with his tiny legs spread from the thumbnail.
His massive wang is just hanging down to the ground.

Pretty 
I'd take another look at those cables. They are far too curvy and... well, no cable is going to fall on the ground the way you have them laid out. I know you just want those curves to come off as more detail, but they look too sharp.
Also, in that first screenshot, don't have the cables crossing over each other. Take a look at how I build the cables in this map. I've included the rmf.
I'd still rather hear something about Half Life 3, to be honest.
Yes.
Well this is awkward.
I could never get into Rusko, but Cockney Thug is pretty great.
Func_detail doesn't exist in Goldsrc.
Every single one of you did things like this on TWHL many years ago. I don't understand the hostility here.
I missed the first question. Right after missing it, I remembered the tram voice saying, "Current topside temperature is..."

I think it could have been tougher and inclusive of more than just the beginning of the game, even if you were planning on making more.

Oh, is it already time for Esmajor's annual post?
I caved in and decided to buy a usb touch monitor to completely free up both of my other screens. I've wanted to try this for such a long time.
I've never been a big fan of coffee. Frozen coffee is pretty good for a snack, but even that I've only bought maybe 4 times in my life.
Though I love me some Kahlua.
Neither of those have anything to do with actually brewing coffee.

I knew saving this would be a good idea.
Those last two pictures of the $5000 house are incredible.
Are those wallpapers 16:9? I like Riven. And I also like a couple of other champions, such as Rammus, or Volibear, or Ahri...Mine is fan art. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can find wallpaper-sized versions of the Chinese art, but most of the pictures are 1200ish by 800ish.
Edit: Fucking Batman.
Shaco in November, Riven in January.
Also, I've reused that wallpaper countless time, Strider
It's awesome to see that this project isn't dead, but I'm still skeptical about animations. They still haven't showcased animating under this engine.
Also do the models have more than one orientation yet, or lighting that doesn't suck (Shadows, Transparency, Smooth lighting with lots of contrast)?The end of the showcase said that they had developed better shadows but didn't have any real footage of them for this video. They showed a few untextured renders to prove it.
I already said I was supposed to be Stu's.
I failed to turn in my entry, but I also didn't receive one, so it's a net loss of zero. As if I wasn't part of it.I was supposed to make your map. Really sorry about that... and I was so excited when Tetsu0 PMed me your name, too
The consideration my Santa put into my map makes me feel worse.
Whoever it was: that map moved me. Seriously.
The idea of making it a quiz to move from the city to the Japanese countryside was... I don't think "thoughtful" does it justice. It was just awesome.
I'm also 99.9% sure I know who it was, but I'm not naming anyone. I'm glad to see that your Santa was nice enough to reward you with your own gift map, though.
For the record, I've had the taskbar on the top for at least 4 years now.
Just throwing that out there.
@Stu: Accounts in that game are tied to regional servers. Europeans can't play with Americans and vice versa because their accounts don't exist of each others' server.

I wish Strider was moderator of the whole internet.
That's why you research about the course before you apply for it.The college of education.
The whole program.
Not one course.
You fucking idiot.
I wish The college of education at my university didn't require such a retardedly specific unit plan format.
I'm dressing up as a bald guy.
Read the instructions:
Tool textures are fine, as they're obviously necessary
Improvise. You know button's don't have to change textures, right?
You could try building around a torus.
Make a torus, place brushes on the outside of the torus, and delete the torus.

Nice find. Also...

Glad I could help.
Edit: OK, start with 2 half arches and cross them together:
example
Note the points of intersection between them:
example
Clip them so that the points of intersection line up:
example
Always remember to check if this caused any vertices to fall off the grid. If this happened, just correct them with some quick VM work. You can also cut each brush of the arch into a triangular prism if this causes any invalid solids.
Duplicate and mirror your brushes, then put some space between them:
example
For that cool thin piece, you can just duplicate half of one of your arches...
example
...and use VM to match all of the vertices:
example
You shouldn't ever have to worry about these becoming invalid solids because all of the brushes' faces will all be oriented the same way. This piece should ALWAYS be at a 45 degree angle.
You only need to do this once. Just duplicate the rest:
example
So this is what you end up with.
For more complex structures or wider angles, like the curved walls to the right and far left of your screenshot, start with one arch that is wider than the other.

I'm not complaining.
It's not that complicated. This compo is a lot like some of the original compos.

I think you guys are reading too much into this.
Use the textures the compo provides you with and vanilla everything else.
God dammit.

Try this if you are still on XP. It won't work for Windows 7, unfortunately.

The textures look fine.
This sounds fun. I just hope our secret Santas can keep to their schedule 
PS: You'll know I was your secret Santa when your map is nothing but a bunch of dicks. I won't even seal the map off -- it'll just be a bunch of dicks floating in the void.

I hit the browse button and go to that folder,choose a sprite & it shows up in the Worldcraft.This is actually why there's a field called "Game Directory" in the game configurations tab under options. Hammer will default to that folder when you browse for models/sprites/sounds and set the correct path accordingly.
If you don't have the full path, then how does it find it?
The game itself just natively looks for stuff in that folder because that's how the engine works. The same goes for mods.
c:Sierra/Halflife/Valve/Sprites/spritename.sprThere's your problem. Your path is supposed to be relative to your valve folder, so it would just be sprites/spritename.spr.
If HL can't find a sprite, the game will actually crash. So fixing your path should fix all of your problems at once.
Also, if you wanted your lightning to go off at regular intervals, you can just use a looping multimanager. If you want random lightning, you can use an env_beam that targets multiple info_targets (all with the same name, of course) and a single button between one info_target and your beam.
Have that button target your lightning effects, then tick the env_beam's "random strike" flag and you're all set. The beam will hit the button on its way to the info_target and trigger your lightning effects.
Play around with the number of targets and time between strikes to get your timing just right.

You can use a light_spot with the "is sky" property set to "yes" checked for lightning flashes. The 1.5 version of de_aztec used that technique.
Unfortunately you can't use a custom appearance because special appearances won't work on triggered lights.
As for the actual lightning, you can just use env_beams or env_lasers in the sky. De_aztec also did this.

I think community projects need to be distinguished somehow. It's sad to see things buried, so I hope this thread can be an official archive for these awesome projects until [if] something more formal is implemented to TWHL.

TWHL hosted a CS 1.6 tournament in which the community's earliest maps were featured in a mad kill-ticket based frenzy. The tournament lasted a whole FOUR HOURS.If something comes to mind that you really feel should be listed here, please bring it up; remember that this is supposed to be an archive of community projects. I'm sure the mods will be nice enough to edit this post when something should be added.
Bump?
This is actually what I was trying to do with this map a long time ago.
The song that inspired me was Dream Machine, by Gillenium.
I never finished it because the layout is just an atrocity, to put it lightly.
