Or build your own one like me. My pc ownz every pc ever!!!
Multisources and env_globals can be confusing at first, but once you know what they dp and how to use them, it becomes easy as, well, um, something easy.
Cool. I am gonna start my first little test-map today. Wish me luck!
Oh, and BTW, on NS3, I got up to Rank 9 as an Alien! WOOT!

I knew someone would complain about the size at some point. Next time I will encode at 20fps with less quality for 56k users then. 
Peace and LOve, the crowbar was suggested by someone. And the storage room is completely different now.
I am building a sewers section at the moment which could have several different routes like in Blue-Shift or Opposing Force.

Hmm, I didn't find any NS tutorials there though.
Thanx RabidMonkey!
WinRar 0wnz WinZip's ass!
I have just started playing Natural Selection with my previously unused Steam account and I must say it is f**kin great, and difficult. Anyway, I would like to start mapping for it and as it plays completely different to other mods, I don't know where to start. Is there any like resource sites for it? With FGD's and stuff? Also, if anyone here has any tips, please tell me some.
Oh, BTW, I made video of my map. You need DiVX 5.11 with Hi-Def version support. You also need WinRar to unzip. I made it with FRAPS free edition (hence the free edition, you will find out when u watch the video) and Dr.DiVX. The file is 20mb unzipped and 17mb zipped.

They are coplaner plane errors but I completely at fault. I used vertex manipulation to join the two faces. But, I am working on something else for it.
I have put one underneath the bridge. I was going to put a sequence involving a train going very fast and an explosion, but I can't make the train without loads of errors 
Ok, I fixed the 2 leaks. And I havw fixed the textures that it messed up. I need new ideas for that bridge!
Isn't there a master key which always works or something? Use that.
Yea. Some of Half-Life was incredibly ugly but it made up for it by being fun.
I just tried out me and Captain P's idea for the bridge and it went wrong and now I have to fix loads of leaks 
More updates on the status of the leak fixing session later!

Ok, we have sorted out most of the plan for the flow of the map. And it's secret for now! hehehehe.
BTW, anonymous was Captain P.
Hmm, maybe I should make the recreation area the next actual map. And have the whole of this section sewers and labs. I have already thought of an idea for that bridge. Only me and Captain P know about it. Captain P has been very helpful with this project. Cheers to him!
Well, captain P said he got pretty low speeds when he tested it earlier.
Me and Cap'n P were discussing ideas for the map just now on MSN.
Average currently is 399 for me. But thats with a 4.2GhZ machine.
hazardous, the curves dont sacrifice r_speeds. And if there is any face-splits, I will fix em when the level is done.
Here is some screenies from the latest build of security breach map 1. At the moment it is about 30% complete. Some of the lights are too dark and a couple of rooms arent finished, but I am working on it. This latest build isnt on the net yet, but I am releasing the screens early.
1. The starting lab. Nearly done. Just some little details to go.
2. In the corridor which the duct drops into. Notice I have mucked around with the walls to make them have more shape.
3. The storage room. The entities and things are ready, but I still need to add lots of detail.
4. The bridge to the recreational areas of the facility. 2 barnacles, a bridge, water, elevator. The lights need to be brightened slightly though.
Please post comments and suggestions.

Can I use it for my map? Cos this vending machine I made is so CRAP!
I tried his tutorial but it wasn't advanced enough. I was following the tutorial from the snarkpit.
Well learn how to VM properly then. I have read through every VM tutorial on TWHL, SnarkPit and Vlatitude and I never get Invalid Solid Structure errors.
I just use Qlumpy. Wally is for noobs. Qlumpy is more flexible if you can be bothered with it.
Hmm. How would I make a monstermaker that only releases a snark when the button is pressed?
Rofl. It's funny cos it's true
Yes, but it is the same method. QLumpy makes wad files. So, if you read that tutorial and modify it for normal textures, it WILL work.

You make your elevator platform and assign it to a func_train. Set the speed, sounds and everything, then tell is to go to a first stop. Set it to whatever. Then, make a path_corner, put exactly in the centre of the func_train. And name it whatever you set the first stop to. Then, move the func_train up to the point you want it to stop at. Put a path_corner here and name it to something, then set the next stop target of the first path_corner to the name of the second one. Name the func_train to whatever you like. Then, make a button or a trigger of some kind which targets the func_train. Experiment with that and you will be a master of elevators in no time.
No. You get your textures into a folder, make a qlumpy script, compile it bladiblahblah. Look at Setting up a mod Part 3 and Custom Textures tutorials. I supplied the example for steinin's mod tutorial
Lol. I will make it spawn a snark or a babycrab when you press a certain button or 2.
It didnt work! DAMN VENDING MACHINE! Oh well, maybe I can live without env_shooter vending machines.
valve.rad is what valve used when compiling the original Half-Life maps.
delete or move lights.rad and rename valve.rad to lights.rad.The compiler will only use a rad file if it is called lights.rad.
Rename valve.rad to lights.rad and put it in the compiler directory.
If you want the lights to trigger immedeatly, set the value as 0.01 or something tiny around that.
I am building a vending machine for a part of a map and I have the machine build and all. But there are a few problems. These are the entity settings:
func_breakable front panel (vend1_front_break):
Target on break: vend1_relay_shooter
env_shooter (vend1_relay_shooter):
blah-di-blah blah shooter settings
trigger_relay (vend1_relay_shooter):
killtarget: vend_1_bev
Now, the beverages and buttons are fine. But, when I break the glass, the env_shooter and trigger_relay dont work, leaving the beverage still spawning. Any ideas what is wrong?

I am working on an area for Security Breach where you have to cross a bridge and blah blah. And tehre is water at the bottom of the room. But, how can I stop the water rendering fullbright? Any render modes which will fix this?
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Dunno
Do a map of a toilet. Hey, it could be a funny map if mapped well.
Walls in my maps range from 6 to 10 units thick.
All you do is hover over the link to your profile and your member number is the id in the address,
Lab maps or nuclear reactor style maps are my speciality.
The good thing about DVD is you can randomly pause it with not fuzzy lines which makes the characters have funny faces 
w00t! Tiberian Sun music!!!
I might attempt to create a new 3D engine and make a Half-Life mode for it. (I said attempt, it will never work! :D)
Hmm. How about making the object with the texlight a button_target and use a button on it?
