Hey you can get ideas (just ideas,not steal) from FPSBanana (www.fpsbanana.com)
ok, how about another suggestion, How about a more advanced rating system?
like rating the map's Gamplay,skill,texturing,etc.
Forum posts
again....
how about a buddies list and an "add as buddy" icon or link in the profiles
Go to the configurations then go to 3D views tab then adjust the MOdel render distance? Give it a try....
Maybe the effect is just random or lots of info_target entities with env_beam's connecting it with a little bit noise.
ok. but no more ideas and no more time. I can't make a skillful and detailed map in 6 days.

Aww...too bad Skals. Can't you just forfeit the compo like i did? I didn;t join cause my map scre 
wed up
wed upAww...i didn't know that some people didn't join. Oh well...back to my mapping projects,improving my skills...
Blitzkreig:I know where you got the info about the compo. It's maybe from the moderators or from me at the IRC
Naserve: I like your suggestion about the Noobies Compo. Because, ME AM NEWBIE!

....OKAY. I'm forfeiting the competition. My reason: No more ideas left and no more TIME. Because my map in Halo (which is my only idea) screwed up i tried to find other games but i can't. sorry i'm forfeiting the competition you guys...
....And um...also I forfeited because of to much information and ideas going in my head. I really gave me a haedache (seriously). ....

So, you mean one map in a mod and then submit and the others in another entry?
Can i Send multiple entries in one mini mod? would that be ok? but judging is separate? 
But when you click the "prisoner button the grunts dont move and shoot.
May i suggest that the author of a forum thread can have the authority to close his own thread if heis done with it .Like if there's a problem and someone has already solved it and the author can close it.
Ok. Thanks guys.
ok...ok..ok calming down 
Maybe i could distract them so they will not kill the barneys and ME. Example, i could add more aliens or move them closer to the aliens.
Or...they all have aiscripted_sequences so they will be perfoming somthing everytime.

aaron_da_killa: THAT'S HALFLIFE_GENIUS!!! 
I know this can be done in SoHL but how can i make this in HL1?? Or just make them kill only the Aliens just not the barneys and me? And do i need code work just to accomplish this? 
Making SKY textures in half-life 1
_______________________________________________
Ok, i'll go directly to the point...how in the world can i make a SKY texture??? And one more thing, i know the last two letters mean in every "sky file" (targa file(.tga)).
Do I just need to make a group of 6 TARGA files and then add two letters that mean the location of the texture then use it??? YES or NO?

about the last thread above i mmeans that there is a large gap in the middle of the page 
Um...i have a bug to report and here it is. ( I don't know if this was reported earlier but again here it is)in the
'edit map" and "submit a map" pages the extra notes are on top and the part where you put the info for your map (like screenie,mapname,etc.) is on the bottom part of the page
umm...my ""marble arena"" remake map screwed up and the map looks that there is no chance of winning. So, maybe i'll just make a Halo:combat evolved map because i can't find an other idea for an entry and i have only a few days left before the competition closes. I have NO other choice
question for the moderators: Will you guys allow me to make a remake of a HALO map for an entry fothe competition?? Will I have a lesser chance of winning if I make this map because probably some moderators don't like it (i thought of that because majority of the members don't like HALO)??? please do give a reply immeadiatley to this post because i lack time already.

Me haves a problem...the maps (the ones for Hl1) appears not the ones for flat-life please help me
Wait a second...can you make a good spash screen for Flat-life and um...console splash screen??It will look better if you or some other member makes one.
wow!! Flat-life is...from the scale of 1 too 10...um...i'll put 11 ( oh, sorry #'s available are only 1 to 10
overjoyed ok...i am back i'm in again for the compo. i'll make a map from a computer game..."marble arena"..
ok...about my last post sorry again for ot reading but i don't have any source engine games. maybe i'll just forfeit the contest. i'll just wait for the next competition......HLGenius out....the map is hl1 and makin it in hl1
ok i'm in i'll be makin masked textures
uhm...ok i can show you a sample of my map but i'm not gonna tell you what map i'm remakin'
OK i have 2 tips that i can share todayTip#1 Make your maps as realistic as possible.
Means that what you make your map make it look like everyday things.
Like for example, when you build a small warehouse and there is no columns or pillars, it's so unreal and your map will suck. it'll look ugly
Tip#2 Let your imaginationflow freely while makin' your maps.
Meeans that when you create your maps you just make all the parts in diferent locations in the grid then later organize it
I'll give more of my tips if i can think of some. I wish this was a big help for the compo
umm i read freshD's post above but can i really use custom textures for my map??halflife_genius really fails at understanding
understanding: 5%
Um...i am currently seaching for a fgd that contains tha following entities:game_playerdie
game_playerkill
game_playerjoin
game_playerspawn
game_playerleave
I found about this when i looked at the entity lists of VERC collective and when I map for ver 1.0.0.9 i want to have these entities. I am really grateful if somebody here would give me a download link for that or send it to me at halflifegenius@gmail.com Or you could just maybe edit the FGDin the entity list of TWHL (if you know how to code). Thank you in advance.
For details on the entities and the FGD here's tha link...

WOW!! I CANT WAIT FOR THIS MOD IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE (BUT IT IS TRUE!!!
ok i'll just improve my mapping then i will create modand mod groups ok.I just realized that im still a little noob at mapping. when i go to the advanced level , then ill make my mod
i still dont know if im joing the compo because im still a little noob in mapping: i still dont master the entities for HL1 so it will be even harder to memorize hl2's entities. i really thinkin' 'bout it if i am joining 
ok thanks cool tut hunter and um...so nobody will join me 
in the last post the "men" should be "mean" sorry
uh...MadCow what do you men rimrook level 
ok thanks
ATTENTION!!! all labyrinth mappers. ok, i was stil thinkin' of this but i'm posting it here to here some comments, reactios or disagreements about this mod. my mod is about a labyrinth a big big big labyrinth. at the end there is a big teleporter (an acient one to be exact) that will lead you to some parts of the world. my theme is a hedge labyrinth. that's all. and i am gladly inviting mappers to contribute to this project of ours. i said ours because i am not making this mid alone it will be the whole TWHL! (if somebody is interested).so all i need is a lot of mappers,and coders. the map theme may be different but i'll be sending some of my prefabs if your interested in makin' hedge-style laby's. i am really tired right now maybe tommorow i'll give more info about it but if you have interest on this project first i would reccomend you to participate in the competition held here.so i can see your skills before participating here because i might be disturing you right now but if your not joing the compo you can start makin' maps for my, I mean...our mod. cracks yawn
surely Trapt and doodle will surely win please Trapt and doodle give us all other members a chance we already won mutiple compos in the past.... *this does not mean the 2 will not participate * i'm just saying to give us the chance to bring home the bacon (um... maenign"to win!?!?
