you should still have the .map file?

yeah thats cool. but it seems there aren't any other guides out there 
yeah, I've looked at that already, that info is included at the bottom of tommy's one. I'm looking for new content.
To be thorough. If anyone has any links, please post them.
For TWHL3 work I request everyone to look though their bookmarks and find any compile/mapping error guides (for goldsource only). Tommy14 is an example, but I already know of that so don't link that -_-

its the same background i've had for ages now.
it looks better when it's saved as PNG, but then the image is quite large.

just make the window smaller, that'll reduce the FOV.

well there are lots of different stories see, and only one story can be followed at one time.
read better.
2. The 5 [other] faces disappear!you are not allowed non-displacement sides on a brush with displacements. want them all? make all six sides displacements.
As said before, displacements can only be seen from one side.
i dont like that, because the player changes the story, and its silly that the story only makes sense if the player has to have several copies of himself to make the stories related.
i think that if the tier system is worked, the mapper can choose their own story to suit the previous map. like, each person only does a small amount of the level, like 5 minutes of gameplay. and each map changes the storyline a little bit so that some endings are close but different, and some endings are completely different.
you'll have to excuse any typing mistakes as i'm not used to typing on a laptop.

Want to advertise the site?
put this in signatures of forums you post in. link the image to the site and underneath it:
TWHL: Half-Life/2 Mapping Community
...or something along those lines. paid ads are pointless for such a targeted site.
The fact that you've told a member to "get out of the forum" makes me quite annoyed. stop being such a jerkwad, or i will be forced to stop you myself. forcefully.
so, in conclusion:
[fail]

is it cheating if i use displacements?
oh man that site is ugly.

Reminds me a bit of the Deus Ex music. Nice work.
I've been bouncing ideas around lately and have thought of a few ways to utilise competitions in a way to get something similar to TWHLMix, such as having each entry begin and end in the same fashion to make them easy to string into a short mod, or a passaround compo (start with nothing, each user adds a room/a few rooms to the map and passes it onto the next person).
One thing that comes to mind is using a minerva(someplace else)-like text system to tell a story that branches off. so the player can go left and discover one ending, or they can go right and get something completely different.
my idea for this is to have it in levels. the first level could be to make a branch of the first map, (a small level with the base story included), then the next level is to pick a level and create a branch of it with a new twist on the story, and so on until there is an impressive number of endings.
perhaps if it was a compo the best two could be picked, but in later stages there would be too many levels and not enough people.
i dunno, i'd just like to see a mod with multiple endings (not just those sissy multiple endings you can just load the last map and play it again to see, alternate endings that you gotta play the mod again with completely different maps), and i reckon the best way to do it is through compos.
anyone got any insight on this? ideas? recommendations? am i being unrealistic? stupid? I think its a very plausible idea, and a mod with lots of endings and branching maps would attract a lot of attention. maybe.

i meant a virus executable can't activate itself. obviously they can be activated with malicious scripts, but i assume they are blocked by browsers. although i didn't know that bad images could do it.
also i cant think of one good reason to use linux for day-to-day use.

Never said it was active.
Viruses are downloaded in VERY small quantities through page views or cookies. And they save you the ease of clicking on them by activating themself.
you absolutely cannot get a virus without running it. a virus cannot activate itself.
I once formated my HDD, reinstalled XP and installed all the latest updates, and 30 minutes later I had shortcuts to porn sites on my desktop.yeah well it doesn't count if you make the shortcuts yourself.
I didn't visit any other website than the Windows Update site.
I've never, ever got a virus on XP, and the only reason it's crashed sometimes is because of faulty hardware.
XP is not a train wreck of an OS, windows ME is.

No.
You could get XP.
The problem is with Vista. Some bright spark at Microsoft decided to drop full support for OpenGL. It works fine on XP.
stop pretending to know things ;P

just so you know you never refer to dual core CPU frequency by adding the frequencies of all the cores, it's the one frequency you use, in your case you have a dual core 2ghz CPU.
and XP can handle up to 4GB RAM.

oh, check your RAM. i had problems like this before, I fixed it by removing a stick of ram (faulty, but memtest didn't pick it up)
you just volunteered. go.
lol vista
wtf is a 4gig dual core?

Ok, enough with these threads. Listen carefully:
1. We cannot provide you with all the content you want. Not only because you want so much, but because it is illegal.
2. We are not Anti-Steam. We support Steam, and any requests of this nature (asking for content from games you don't own) are not condoned. Stop.
3. We are not your slaves, and we certainly don't want to "code ragdolls in HL1" or "make a portal gun" for someone who just barges in and requests like this.
4. This is a mapping site, not a programming or modelling site. To get exactly what you want, buy Half-Life 2.
5. Get Steam. Chances are you don't even have a legal copy of Half-Life. Get one. Get HL2. Your Internet will not explode, your privacy will not be compromised, and your windows will not suddenly download 500 viruses. We all run Steam and never had any issues of this sort.
We are a friendly community as a whole, but don't you realise that you are asking other people to do your work? Why would we?

wow, my parents hate computers and games, so i'd never get the kind of shit most of you are getting. all i got was a book, dvd, cd, and some cash.
stop holding down ctrl
i didn't say that it was easy, i said it wasn't any more complicated. that said, the I/O system in conjunction with displacements and 3d skyboxes alone makes source easier to map for.
source mapping is no more complicated than HL1 mapping, and do you expect valve to make content they aren't going to use? use your brain, think before you say silly things.
boring map is boring. what happened to HS? is this an official announcement of its death?
negative time until christmas zomglolwtf? ->
