I'll have you know that I still have a VCR.
It's in my shed.
It's full of rainwater and spiders.

You should...
It is.
It really, really is.

Apparently I bollocksed up the upload for my map and nobody is seeing the custom skybox...
Yes. Well spotted.
Very observant, just like that famous guy with the face from that show.

But what is this "model scaling" witchcraft you speak of? Is that a SOHL thing?Ah yeah, it is now I think about it. Most npcs and env_models in SoHL allow you to assign new models and scale them. The model selected for an NPC is not showns in the 3D view, only the default and the scale setting is totally ignored in the 3D view.
Might be one for later if you're only focusing on Vanilla HL and expansions for now.
I also had a think about the cloned brush texture issue I reported and... well... let's just say leave it with me. I had a brainwave on the way to work this morning and I think it might just be me being a tithead.
I shall give it a go sir and if it looks cool I will let you know where the secret weapon is hidden.
Edit: In the map I mean, not real life. Nobody gets to see "the device" until it's ready.

Actually digging it with a plain black backdrop. Kinda eery.
Added wall lanterns for less darkage.

Heh, blame valve. I'll be adding a custom one before I finish.
Heh, the other two are FileMaker and a local copy of a website. Pixelated them to hide work contact details as well as client company names. Doubt any of you care but just covering my ass.

You should really use texture lighting in that situation. I know for a fact that the light texture in your image has a light value in lights.rad already...
Bug report
When shift+drag cloning, my geometry is losing it's texture settings such as scaling and rotation. This wouldn't be so bad if you could select a face in 3D which has the settings you need and right-click new faces like you can with Hammer but that doesn't work either.
Oh and the sprite scaling that was already mentioned.
I dunno if model scaling can be shown in Sledge as well. That's one thing Hammer doesn't have that would be really handy for placing and clipping around env_model props with custom scales values.
Other than that, i'm lovin it.

About as close to The Core DM as it gets with those textures. It's looking pretty nice! 
Needs, more dick lights to get the complete Core feel though.

I use google image search, enter a specific term and then filter the results to show only 1920x1080 images.
Current desktop is just Ursa because it's fucking Ursa

depending if they have the pc that can run the gameJesus... it's 2014
My experience of bhop maps is that they lack detail...
I'm afraid I'm all about detail.

GO RCON!
I can change maps on the server. 
Can't add any mind you.

Possibly interesting fact. My interest in level design dwindled when I worked in web design full time. It would take months for me to get inspired to map for about an hour.
Now, I'm managing support, meaning I do a lot of problem solving and much less design work and I can now quite happily map for 6 hours straight.
It's scary how much your creativity is affected by trivial day to day shit.

Some good looking stuff popping up in here guys.

Holy shit. I had no idea you were Mr.Good Map...
@rufee. Listen to Mr.Good Map. He speaks the truth.

Gonna be honest. Been working on a map as well...
Nope. The file structure is identical.
Was very much in bed. Twas a school night. Will be on over the three day weekend. I'll definitely need to shoot something tonight if the day goes as roughly as I'm expecting it to... 
Beerfort man. I would totally live in Rimrook's world. Pizza is good for you and beer makes you bulletproof.
I assume he means in hammer, not in game. I still don't understand the issue though...
I would be so up for it, but The Core demands my attention. :rly:
I have to admit I am very tempted to rebuild subtransit after playing it again yesterday. One of my favorites.
Utopium should be fine. I didn't have it but it downloaded from the server with no problem.
Good games tonight guys. Map rotation started working around 11pm GMT. Then stopped working again when it tried to load the researchvessel map and me and DizzleStizzle got booted off the server because we were missing ns.wad
Wait... remake? Like, remake an original?
So, HLDM maps are a lot like farts. People are quite fond of their own.
I thought the multiplayer was just within Half-Life...
Old games have charm because of the way they look and their limitationsExactly! This is why I love both low poly modelling and pixel art and games featuring these styles. I wouldn't want to try an upgrade them as such with fancy rendering and high poly models. I enjoy working on The Core but when I started I was pretty ignorant of Source and it's benefits and that's why I went with an HL1 mod. 6 years later, I'm starting to loathe working with GoldSource for The Core. However, I'm not about to fold it into some beefed up version of the engine with fancy graphics and shaders. That's how Duke Nukem Forever got started.
That's not to say I wouldn't use GoldSource again in future, but I certainly won't be doing anything on this scale again.
Helicopter!
That's a pretty nice view you got there.

Yeah, that'll do it.

Time once again for another blatant disregard for people's privacy in the guise of social interaction.
Sooo... what's outside your window. (Be it your room or the one you consider has the best view.)
My bedroom window is literally to the left of my desk and sports this rather lovely scene.
(Not pictured: the main road which runs right by the front of my house)

That does look pretty nice.
I'm old and set in my ways.
I mapped for Source for a couple of hours and decided it was too different/complicated/weird/gay and went back too.
Then THE CORE was born and Archie got really mad and some shit was said... it's a long story. I hate GoldSource now, but if I get into Source mapping THE CORE will never get released.

Fair enough. Done.
I'll still likely never play it.

Won't be home until an hour after it goes back to full price. Not overly fussed though.
I did a thing.
TJB... wow. Just wow.

Would love to participate but I gotta work on the core. Looking forward to what you guys produce though.
