Heh ok I'll make a more presentable map - as I said totally beta. The walls prolly will be the color but with lights and posters on the wall it will look better. Getting good textures is turning out to be a pain since HL2's textures look so good!
I had a couple aliases back in the day... Anonymous being one... I think Unknown was another... /wave at ZombieLoffe
I'll work on it and be back soon!

I am remaking my room map for source 
You can find the original (although it is still out of date but oh well) here :
http://twhl.co.za/mapvault_map.php?id=1058
This is in superbeta form and still has alot to be added. But, it still has alot of open areas that need stuff to provide cover. If you see an open area anywhere that just demands a certain object please speak up. Any comments about the terrible textures and whats done so far is welcome
Pics of whats done so far :
I totally forgot also... the tall dresser in the corner has a big ol' TV on it, desk has a monitor and PC... I can't figure out how to make the monitor/computer/tv models to be big enefough to fit the scale of the map so they havent been added yet lol.

I got to 5 and then failed about 6+ times and then got frusterated and gave up 
You ruined it with #4 gmans right...
That... is purely... amazing...
I hope that some other type of game uses the engine though... I don't think I like the idea of the game.

Hehe I dunno but turning it down to 5 seemed to cure everything 
.. Sometimes I gotta shut down a whole bunch of programs though (STEAM!)
.. Sometimes I gotta shut down a whole bunch of programs though (STEAM!)Closing steam and a couple other programs + turning the undo levels down to 5 seems to have fixed it lol except...
Loading textures is still ubar slow though any fixes for that?

Now I know everyone says that's just the way of new hammer, laggy... But this is un bearable... I cannot make anything because of it; making one box takes three minutes! I turned down my redo levels to 20... I went to processes and gave Hammer high priority. It did nothing. Is it possible to have hammer open without steam? Because steam is taking up... INSANE ammounts of memory(46,888k) Is there a tweak guide or something?
What... edit button...
Woah....it only appeared on my new post here...

Good... I'm not the only one who doesn't understand what to do with the current compo
hehe I just drew up a plan for the map... prey to god that you never play with me on it (2,000,000 secrets)
What do I have to multiply the rest of my measurements by to make it seem like hes 4 units high?
Somewhere I read gordon is 33 units high... but that means hes like 3 feet tall...
I am going to try to make an HL2 version of de_bedroom but make it 1337 this time! I want it to be to scale for braging rights... and I am trying to figure out how to do it. It said on VERC that 1 in = 1 unit for HL2, but I want gordon to only be 4 inches high (to keep the de_rats style)... So what do I have to multiply the actual size in inches of everything by to get the properly sized units?
I didn't map my house... That would be a nightmare... But I made a de_rats style map of my bedroom... I think it is here somewhere actually probably on a different account.. Ahh HA!

It was the best map I ever made... That version has alot of bugs and stuff in it that I never got to fix or improve because the file became corrupt and my only copy of the rmf got destroyed. Its almost an exact model of my room though, I <3 it. Its preety much all custom textures if I remember correctly, preety much to scale. I used to have like 1,000,000 secrets... I don't know if they are still there but try going on the side of the desk closest to the window and just knife around it a bit, there might be a secret that leads into the computer =D - also I made a vent system complex so if you break the vent on top of the closet...
Heh sorry for such a long post, I am so damn proud of this crappy map hehe. I planned to make it again for source with a huge ammount of traps, vehicles, and other things only source can do, I just never got around to it I guess.
Anyway if you want to check it out it might at least have some inspiration!

Yeah to be honest... the whole zombie / headcrab crap really just doesn't do it for me
Can someone write a physics tutorial explaning how to use some of the new entitys?
Right Here - Staind
Yeah I its hard to break away from this site... Either that or I'm bored because its summer 
Muahah whilest browsing through the forum posts here I noticed the ability to edit posts... Believe it or not I remember when I asked for this to happen about a year ago at this time. If I remember correctly.. It was put down as a bad idea that would not happen. 
If you do want to host your own... Google up XAMPP from Apachefriends - very easy install / setup...
I'll be honest your code is a bit different to mine so I dunno whats up with that. Here's some edited snippets of my code from emeraldchapter.dyndns.org . Just forget the function line. The $authorized is makes sure your logged in as an admin.
/ Add News /
function addNews() {
/ Show News /
function showNews() {
FYI the way I have it is where all the sites content is in one main file and all the pages the site uses just use functions, which makes it easy to edit. If you want you can do this by storing those two things in a file called functions.php and then having the following code on a different page --
<?
/ Include the functions.php file /
include('functions.php');
/ Call the function /
showNews();
?>
The result of that page is whatever is between the brackets of the function...
function showNews() {
/ All code here is run /
}
Yeah I kind went a little far there... Hopefully its a little understandable
/ Add News /
function addNews() {
// Check if user is authorized (login.php) //
$authorized=$_SESSION['auth'];// Get Data From Form //$title=$_POST['title'];
$time=date("F j, Y, g:i a");
$poster=$_POST['poster'];
$article=$_POST['article'];
if($authorized==1) { // If your logged in //
$query="INSERT INTO news VALUES ('','$title','$time','$poster','$article')";
mysql_query($query);
header('Location: index.php');
} else {
header('Location: login.php');
}/ Show News /
function showNews() {
$query="SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY id DESC";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$rows=mysql_num_rows($result);
$i=0;
while($i<$rows) {
$title=mysql_result($result,$i,'title');
$time=mysql_result($result,$i,'time');
$poster=mysql_result($result,$i,'poster');
$article=mysql_result($result,$i,'article');
echo "<br><b>$title</b><br><i>Written on $time by $poster</i><br> $article<hr>";
$i=$i+1;

Dreamweaver colors and highlights text too... but I perfer using Notepad++, but does anyone know how to turn off the feature that makes a .bak of the file whenever you save it?
BTW, on my site emeraldchapter.dyndns.org its all run by PHP and coded by me, if you want to know how to do any of it ill be glad to send you the code.
Oh, and I almost forgot www.phpfreaks.com has been an excellent source of information for me, because not only do they have some tutorials (most are preety advanced) but they have a huge community on the forums to answer any newbie question you may have. Just goto the Newbie Help forum

Um, well I don't really know, but um cun u tel ma hoe ta mak a brush?????????????????????????????????
You have problems. Now seriously you need to see a psychatrist. Take the red portal to the yellow teleport pad and ask the mystical goddes to magically poof you to the shriek.
You need a new avatar dude, you name has the word viper in it, yet you have a dog. A dog in a HEV suit. ...
mop gave you a portion of his site?Heh, I joined in January 2004, hence I wouldn't know about that.
animated support was left out since they were unwantedThat is not true. I and a select few other members have wanted them.
Or let someone else do it for you.
(If that was directed at me, I never said I was elite.)
Make your own textures!!! Look at TWHL's tutorial on it
This threads original post fixed :
Won't it be great when all the noobs who pretended to be good mappers, and who struggled with Hammer 3.5 to leave when everyone starts mapping for Half Life 2?
Original post:
wont it be great when all the nubs who struggle at hammer 3.5
and pretend to be good will be finnaly gone when we all start mappng for hl2

Dude, you are a newb. You made 3 new topics on our forums in a row, all three stupid, and 2 of them were basically asking the same question. Every newb in the history of TWHL has done this.
Ive played Doom and HL2. I don't like doom's type of game really, but the graphics own. Half Life 2 (the leaked version) was extremely buggy (ovbiously because it wasnt finished), so I couldn't have the full expierence, but, from what I saw it is going to have more originality and fun in it. Graphics wise, they are both good. Doom's lighting is the best, half life 2's water is the best, in that area I will just conclude that they are the same.
lol true true, but half life 2 is going to finally have a good vehicle system according to the mod faq
For someone who doesn't even know that you can make it in php(no offense viper) it is going to be kinda hard to do that.
sv_restart 1 restarts the game- change the 1 to the # of seconds you want to pass before restarting
changelevel "de_dust" - changes the map, change de_dust with whatever map you want
mp_freezetime does not set the buy time! It sets the frozen time at the begining of the map (normally like 5 seconds time of no moving to buy stuff)
mp_autoteambalance 1/0 - to change it on or off
I agree that you should get Admin mod. It is kinda frusterating to install but you will get it eventually. It allows soooo many more options and commands, and they have every single command listed on their site. You can do fun things like glowing or downloading extra features like flamethrowers and stuff (flamethrower might be amx mod).

You can easily make one in php too. But trapt is right, it is going to be a pain in the ass to make and there won't be too much point.
Interesting... What is hex used for these days?
