It tends to be quite the opposite really, especially when looking for a job.
Qualifications are nothing, especially when it comes to design work of any sort. Employers want to see previous experience and achievements. Chances are that by the time you're qualified in something, what you learned is already out of date.

@JeffMOD: I think it would need to be something familiar, set in the HL universe. After all, that is the one true connection we all have. 
I am definitely red. You are definitely blue.I so know it. I just wanted to pretend for a while.
'cause I'm awesome.
There's no 'probably' about it. If Urby doesn't abandon GoldSource after The Core then I'm going to castrate him with a Big Daddy's drill.I lolled a big lol... in the office. Fuck.
I will be moving to Source though, dipping my toe when CS:GO is fully released and hopefully swimming like a pro once The Core is done.
I wish I had been able to stick with the CSS project a little longer but the issue at the minute is that I should be spending more time on The Core. In light of that though, it really helped me, having now made more progress in a few weeks than I made at all last year.
The idea of working on a big project with all you guys at TWHL... I'll be honest, get's me a bit hard.
But who on Earth would would I partner up with?
More employees , more work being done.
Seems that nobody at Valve currently thinks their efforts should be focused on a certain Half-Life 2 Episode...
I like the idea of the bizarro, trippy thing. A map that just makes you sit back for a second and go "...ok what in the fuck?"
Yeah, don't post the screenshots were I did well huh? :rly:
You crazy 'mericans. How the Hell am I meant to know what a greenback is?
Nice choice sir! Bloody nice choice.
@Collapse. Hit "Skip" a couple of times.
"i just keep involuntarily saying "WOW" and "HOLY $#@! and getting boners."
Oh god. I lol'd so hard.
I agree, of course. I came, i saw, i came.

Last frame... wow.
The Core is based on Spirit.
Lost interest in TF2 as soon as the items came into it really. Certainly wouldn't pay for something I could find for free. My lifestyle means that would be a fairly stupid thing to do.
I did that once. You can go back after a while and it will reappear, assuming nobody else has done it.
Oooh. Is that what you were cursing about on Team Speak last night / this morning? Haha, kidding. This is looking really good guys. I'll certainly want to be more involved with the next one.
Most people would take that as a hint.
I don't know how much of the code is available to use, but Sven-Coop's scientists are able to heal friendly NPC's as well as reviving fallen comrades.
Or a guy typing "Draw a dick" into Drawception.
Exactly. Build your map the usual way, making up flat surfaces with one brush. That would reduce your brushes massively.
If however you wanted it all to be destructible like in Minecraft... yeah, no. You'd have better luck coding Counter-Strike's systems into Minecraft.

Somebody ought to optimize the drawing interface and extend it a bit. It proves to be too small a lot of time, and there's no damn fill button!Definitely needs a fill button and an undo button because fill is a bastard sometimes. As for scanning stuff in and having a larger canvas, no way. That would remove all the challenge.
Also, a good idea would be if they let people upload scanned documents. I'm already horrible at drawing, I'm even more when using a mouse that makes my palm hurt!
[quote]The names are so god damn retarded. Who comes up with those? And why is every 2nd one asking me to draw a dick?[/quotes]
Trolls... They get everywhere.
I can't draw to save my life on a computer. I think Drawception has actually taught me a thing or two. What I tend to do now is block out what I'm going to draw and then outline over the top. Seems to work fine so far. Pretty happy with these two.
Oh god. Drawception is offline, Weebitmagic is offline and my cooker just blew a fuse. Has Friday the 13th come early? D:
Sweet.

You didn't actually make the floor up of individual blocks right? Because that will completely rape your compile times.

I've been seriously considering investing in a tablet for a while now. This game might have just convinced me to just get one.
I was in a game with a guy called Madcow, from Sweden. However, he is yet to post in this thread so I have no idea if it is the same person.

Well, I'd certainly say that file path is fucked for one...

I don't see the problem personally. Unless you don't have any of those. If you don't just set up a twitter account and then ignore it. simple
@Ninja and noSICK: Both very nice. Both interesting. Both WANT.
Always. Gimme lines! 
People can rate your drawings.
Archie. Please stop introducing me the things like this at bed time. Thanks. Urby <3
To add custom content such as that, you will need to code it in. Not sure where you'd start with that other than learning C++.
Also, to transfer the wrench the Barney's hands, you will need to edit the model. Again, you'll have to learn modelling for that, or at least model hacking.
If you're lucky you'll be able to find someone willing to do it for you but it wouldn't hurt to try for yourself if you want to get into modding.

@Dimbark: Not funny in the slightest. 
Nothing hits you quite like the loss of a cat, your furry little family member. My heart genuinely goes out to you. 
Sven Coop has had a ton of additional programming work done. It uses a custom .fgd in hammer and .dll files which allow you to do that.
Spirit is the same and works with similar code. Consider downloading Spirit of Half-Life and basing your mod on that engine. It opens up so many options regarding NPC's and other entities, including health, appearance, and you can give Barney a 357 Magnum.

If you are making a mod you can edit the skills.cfg file. This contains all the data for NPC health and damage outputs.
If you are just working on a map, then not that I know of.
Spirit of Half-Life lets you set health for NPCs within Hammer, but again, that's a mod.
Edit: Ninja'd like a motherfucker.

Agreed.
Also, consider that Valve will most likely start releasing fresh content every so often too, like they do with all their new releases. I don't see why so many people are complaining about it.
How many of you were waiting on Black Mesa? A mod that is essentially a graphical update to Half-Life: Source. Just saying...

This is looking really good.
I'm afraid though, that I'm going to have to stand down officially. It was nice to be a part of this as it reignited my love for mapping. Thing is though, now I only wanna work on the core... It's been in development for far too long so I want to fpcus as much as is possible on finishing it.
Feel free to mutilate my little alleyway as you require.

Archie's logs are the sole reason The Core is still being worked on. Oh, and the shit he's uploading is pretty fucking awesome.
Ahhh, now I see. Jensen's apartment.
IT works in HL2. I know because that's what I played it in like an idiot. The only issues are some missing textures and a room filled with floating error messages. Not sure what they were, but attacking one send me back to the start...
@Joe. Looks interesting but, yikes. What's going on with your colour settings? D:
I must say this does seem like an excellent way to progress with the Source engine. Another thing I've seen is somebody recreating Office Complex from Half-Life.
Yeah yeah, Black Mesa are already doing it. Sure. However, if you are just focusing on a single chapter, it's not really as ambitious as that AND it gives you a set of problems to overcome.
These kind of projects are really inspirational and each time I see one I want to just up and switch to Source...
God damn it.
Oh yeah, and this looks awesome Tet. There we go, 1 thread derailed and rerailed.

Last day today, then 4 day weekend woop woop.
