Hes using the badges we already have as an example.
Captain P is right, although, colors are a good way to show it, since there are a lot of colors, and a new page could tell what they all mean.
there is:
orange
red
purple
blue
green
yellow
black
white
brown
grey
turquis
indigo
multicolor
and just plain clear.

we get nothing for tutorials seventh?
I'm well rounded with HLSP, CS, and TFC
wow, this is like one big offtopic thread. like most of the threads in the stuff forum.
I just hope people don't start copying each other.

and you can't give a badge to an anonymous person, so I win by default 
wow! you put all of the maps n' mods on death row. a little drastic chow.
Mike has a great idea. what I have also seen on some other websites is when someone replies to your post, it sends you an e-mail, although we have so many active members and spamming that we would all be flooded with e-mails.
now I see why this would be good chow. There would be no more thread reviving, you could easly look up old information, and noobs could see if their question was answered first. I thought you just wanted to lump all the bad topics together and keep them just in case of anything.
If you do the member rating thing, are you just going to put numbers 1-10? something more creative would be more noob friendly.

as I said in the shoutbox, I'll be able to play when I get my new computer.

okay.
just because Microsoft is doing well in the buisness world doesn't mean they are bad. They do not own a monopoly, because monopolies are illeagle where I live, here in America. There is still other computer software companies out there. so what if they have a little of everything, that does't mean they are bad. as a consumer, why would you care? you should just worry about getting the best product at the lowest price.

oh, um, well, you see, um, ahhh,
I'll get right on that sir!

I just found the people who want to be submods, for no apparent reason.

Chow, I don't really like your Death-Row Idea. nothing personal though. Is that just so that the threads aren't deleted and valuble information gone, like what happened to the "I got an Idea" list?

do you have microsoft word for your computer? if you don't, you have gone too far with your little ban.
why do you not support microsoft?
because Bill Gates has more money than you?
thats why most people do it.

I bought x-box for Halo, and it was worth every penny. oh wait, I guess that expression is only valid where people use pennies
you heard me asynclywinkly!
I think you mean the spliting thing. I meant, One person works on the origional, and the other works on the other. This way, it will go twice as fast, and there probably wouldn't be too much of a difference between the theme of the map, when 2 people map like they are adding on to the same place.
anyone else with a contructive response?

hey! I was just entering the stupidest post compotition, not spamming! This is the stupidest post ever posted here.
an underground digger mabober that goes streaming down into a giant lake of lava, and is driven around on small falling rocks, bumping up and down, trying to find a way out when a lake is emptied out into the lava, which causes steam to shoot everywhere, making you shoot up with the pressure of the chemical reaction, up into the air where you start hurdling down toward earth at incredable speeds, so you press the eject button, but it is jammed so you do it manually, and then you find out you have no paracute, but a giant bird rescues you, but is actually trying to feed you to her young, so you kill the babies, who are really big, and the moma comes back and attacks, so you jump on its back and ride it over a big ocean, where it dies, and you fall down, but land on a whale, but sharks kill the whale and are moving in on you, so you shoot them, and try to swim back to shore when a dolphin saves you, but poltures kill the dolphin, so you shoot at them, but then the sharks come back and attack the poltures, so you swim to shore only to find out you are on a desert island, where you sit around and talk to a volly ball untill you starve.
like me?
mrxbob, you are a serious gamer. to get a gamecube and an x-box.
here here for ministeve.

be nice people.
the spiting thing? What are you talking about Garglywargly?
I thought GC is for little kids, PS2 was for a little older, and XB for the oldest of gamers, reaching 92.
can you be more specific about that?
have you read the beginner tutorials on this site?
if you know stuff about mapping, answer me these questions three:
1: This is for what MOD?
2: Are your walls entities?
3: are the people you are playing with cheating?

don't know what that money type is there, cause I really don't travel overseas from America here.
I bought an X-box on e-bay for $170.
I'm gonna go see what this green tint is about.
maybe they made it that way because of their green X logo that looks like a crack into the ground. maybe it brings it out, and makes it look more, well, cool. There really isn't a better word for it.

I just hope that TWHL gets a good makeover, and is back to what it was origionally made to be.
can I put off topic stuff in a P.S. thing. maybe there should be a special box you can put off topic stuff in, like how those quote boxes work.
P.S. lol, yeah, I must sound like a hick when I say stupid stuff like that. I just try to type fast. I'm a busy person. I bet you wouldn't guess I was a writer
I don't like it when someone corrects posts, unless they meant to say something completely different and ask the moderator to change it. Spelling isn't very important here, and you all know what I'm saying, most of the time.

then all the hard work salvaging ammo would go to waste.

lol
so lets not post out why it is a bad idea and waste space. It was a final desision.
I know sometimes I might go off on an odd ramble, like my compo idea to seventh, and I don't stop to make sure all the words are spelled correctly, but could I be a sub-mod also?

I was just wondering what anyone would say was the best way. I don't trust google to give me the best result. a person, or even a monkey, is more reliable to get me the best result. Google just looks at the words.
That would be hard to orchestrate because people don't know the theme of the map, also they wouldn't know what weapons and stuff are in the other map.
any Idea's on how to do this? It would go a lot faster, and be very good, but there are some downsides. people won't be able to coenside with other people's rooms to try and fit the theme. maybe there could be a room that leads out of the first map, and comes back in to the first map, where it would continue, and two people can go at once, one working on the origional map, and the other on the map that the corridor goes off on.

I'd like to see that, lol. now you guys won't let me win a compo, so that I can't make the next one 'an underground digger mabober that goes streaming down into a giant lake of lava, and is driven around on small falling rocks, bumping up and down, trying to find a way out when a lake is emptied out into the lava, which causes steam to shoot everywhere, making you shoot up with the pressure of the chemical reaction, up into the air where you start hurdling down toward earth at incredable speeds, so you press the eject button, but it is jammed so you do it manually, and then you find out you have no paracute, but a giant bird rescues you, but is actually trying to feed you to her young, so you kill the babies, who are really big, and the moma comes back and attacks, so you jump on its back and ride it over a big ocean, where it dies, and you fall down, but land on a whale, but sharks kill the whale and are moving in on you, so you shoot them, and try to swim back to shore when a dolphin saves you, but poltures kill the dolphin, so you shoot at them, but then the sharks come back and attack the poltures, so you swim to shore only to find out you are on a desert island, where you sit around and talk to a volly ball untill you starve'.
sorry about that. It was veeeeery late for me

I hate hackers who make those viruses and do crap like that to people's computers. Just plain rude.
to stay on topic, I think that we need to push people along and make it go faster [nudges hazardous]

The time has come for me to stop learning to program Java and turn to the uninterneted, yet more powerfull, C++.
Are there any good places I can learn it for free, getting a compiler and such for free off the internet? I don't like to spend money, which is why I have a crappy Quantex with a broken internet that I'm not even using now.
don't ask what a Quantex is

you can use the colors with the decals to make your own blood textures. makes for some cool special effects. maybe the outline of a gargantua on the wall in yellow after a huge explosion. that would look great.
haz, the p-word is fine. you must have mistyped it, seeing that it is so long (HInt, HInt)
oh no. did someone change the password!? 
I'm going to check, and if they did, I'll hack into it.
do you mean send the list haz?
I don't have control over the map anymore. people started just giving it to each other, and not through me.
P.S. Haz no cussing in the forums. I'm sure a moderator will get that though. There are youngen's here as well as everyone else, even though Half-Life is rated M for 17+

floater, that would be rabidmonkey.
let this die and post in the todo thread.

lol, ministeve.
prickly_pimple, there is no need for more moderators. The current ones do a great job.
Maybe a different type of moderator, like a map vault moderator, where there are forum moderators, and map vault moderators.
A ranking system is a great idea, but what if there were special badges to wear, like we have now with trophies, but what about ones that show up like next to your avatar that tell your "rank" and the other special stuff, like forum moderator, or map vault moderator.
a limit of one a week for completed maps would be better than one a day. unfinished stuff, example maps, and problem maps could need no day limit. still, you have to be within reason and think of all the coding that atom will have to do to do this. I don't know if he can do everything.

use the landscape tutorial by pepper on this site. the triangle way of doing it really works well for me.
NO MAP VAULT UNTIL MINISTEVE GETS THE MAP, AND THEN SENDS IT TO ME
I wanted to make that clear.
also, please do not post the picture. it is suppose to be a suprize. the list is full, so we don't have to pursuade anyone else to do it.
since the I got an Idea thread is dead, and my name isn't on it, I really don't have any credit in coming up with the idea. I don't want to sound like a big head, but I will put at the very end, a thanks to ministeve for being first, me for starting it, and JB for taking it a step further. maybe a special thanks to haz and m-garg too, because they really helped also. if I am missing anyone that did something special, please tell.
The list is full and new, so I will update it on the twhlmix e-mail account.
m_garg, you sound a lot like JB. Are you JB in a mask, hmmm???

Map Vault:
There has long been an issue with the map vault. the best thing to do would be to organize it into cs, dm, hl, mod, and other, which would include tfc, r, ect. also, there needs to be something done to prevent people from joining and then posting a million maps. maybe there could be a finished map pile, where map vault moderators could put all the maps that are sutible, that way, all the ones that aren't, stay in the normal vault, where not many people will look, causing them to stop their frenzy till they get one good one to try to put in the complete vault.
I'm not sure people would put their stuff where it belongs. People want their map to be seen, to be rated, downloaded, and commented on. if new, they might not know that it is not a very good map. They might just think its the greatest.

VOX just leaving was wrong. he should have stuck around and try to resolve and fix the problems. I hope many of you do not follow his example.
I really didn't read any post but the first one, since I was gone from TWHL for a while and just found this, so if this has been covered, sorry for my lack of interest in all of your posts.

I'm in. I can map, and so can ministeve.
he looks evil though. Thats what I meant.
comon! you have a month!
anyway, I would look at it even when HL2 is out. HL2 won't kill HL mapping. they have to make a worldcraft to go with it if it is a whole big engine change.

comon' seventh. you know you want to do one like
make the best vehicallike a cruise ship, or a car, or a big 747 plane, or a xen ship, or an underground digger mabober that goes streaming down into a giant lake of lava, and is driven around on small falling rocks, bumping up and down, trying to find a way out when a lake is emptied out into the lava, which causes steam to shoot everywhere, making you shoot up with the pressure of the chemical reaction, up into the air where you start hurdling down toward earth at incredable speeds, so you press the eject button, but it is jammed so you do it manually, and then you find out you have no paracute, but a giant bird rescues you, but is actually trying to feed you to her young, so you kill the babies, who are really big, and the moma comes back and attacks, so you jump on its back and ride it over a big ocean, where it dies, and you fall down, but land on a whale, but sharks kill the whale and are moving in on you, so you shoot them, and try to swim back to shore when a dolphin saves you, but poltures kill the dolphin, so you shoot at them, but then the sharks come back and attack the poltures, so you swim to shore only to find out you are on a desert island, where you sit around and talk to a volly ball untill you starve. That is a great Idea.
A good compo would be to make a horror map. Scariest map wins!Then my tutorial would be in the tutorials to read part. cool.
TWHL is dying?
I haven't noticed it.
The only thing that needs to be changed is the organization of the vault, as seventh said, and also, maybe another sometin' sometin' special and new that would keep people around? Of course, atom would be needed for that.
a picture vault, and some kind of screen-shot of the week or something.
