I only did the skybox in about an 2 hours from scratch. since I already did it once, i'm going to do it again in probably have of the time.
Also, I just got max 7 and everything works perfectly! I already crammed to get Sajo's models done first before I stray too far and start working on this again. But the real question is how long can I keep max 7 before it screws up if it ever does...
So once that is done, I'm going to finish up the guardian, and make things that won't be shown until the demo.

well fuck you guys too. sheesh.
there's one on the internet already? I saw this on a t-shirt and thought there should be one like it on the net.
but who cares. 'tis mah birth day.

'course its dumb. 
I feel like i'm playing The Legend of Zelda when I read you're posts.
Oh Fuck Me...
The Skybox failed to render and the file was saved, just not on my portable... i lost it and i have to do it again... for the third time.

The temple is hidden deep within that... somewhere....
Yeah, I changed mine to D and A as well. Defaults would make sense.
this is what i made of the controls for me.
A - Left (back)
D - Right (forward)
W - Jump / Swim up (Yes jump, I'm weird like that.)
S - Duck / Swim down
CTRL - Duck
Space - Jump
If there is already a mod out there that's like this with multiplayer, then don't. I never knew it existed.
But it still should have wall jump, long jump, and double jump.

BAH WHAT!?
I used the same font for health and armor numbers for 6D! only I change the zeroes i think.
Now one of us has to change it...

haha, this is awesome to get the clogged pipes of mapping unclogged.
I say we make it a mod anyone can map for.
I may do models once I finish some other model comissions. Like fix up the animations and sorts. Just keep working on it and I'll get back to you on that.
The idea of side scrollers is easy, thing you have to watch for is grounding the player. Think of how Mario can jump and the many forms of it. Add wall jumping, fix the long jump, add a double-jump feature and item module to go with it, and moving around would be fun enough to make more elaborate levels without the fear of vertical problems. This makes it more fun to map for and play.
Then try whipping up some multiplayer!

Are you taking textures from Source to use in HL1?
You should shrink them down to 256x256 for textures and skies. Its not a good idea to use textures over 256 in either dimension.

friggin awsome video caboose!
The traced version of the layout looks kinda shotty. Is there a any good reason why a grid isn't projected onto it? for mappers to make up their own proportions maybe?
because I still have the original here.

I do hope you fix the long jump, you can only LJ in one direction.
Well to fix the text prob, you can always use the upper half of the screen for the panel and place the text centered on it.

Spirit is a mod of HL. DoD had a team of coders and all that to add whatever they needed so I doubt they needed spirit.
Spirit adds flexibility to the HL entities so that people who don't code may have some advanced control.

Any chance of (lol) multiplayer!?
Cliffs is my Kryptonite.
Very well done so far, I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. If you have photoshop or similar, make a texture to blend the grass and the cliff together. It'll look better for the sake of terrain.
I'm interested in what choice of lighting this will get..
Also, is it me or is it popular to do cliffs and houses lately....

You and me both, Urb.
Easily done if the player's yaw could be set with a console command.
If i could code however, i wouldn't mod too much, i'd continue the spirit project in many ways necessary for the common needs throughout the modding community. Not to be a hero or anyting, I just like to help. Spirit needs an expansion anyway, i'd hate to direct a project I have little control over.

uhm... please say you read that post about the stages a while back...
6D is mostly environment based like the one above. Several of the elements will be tied into them much like the dungeons in the zelda games, only a little more non-linear and experimental. I know everyone is familiar with the floating block stages, they will be in the game only they are a part of one of the more advanced stages.
The mod's gameplay is thickened immensely with this decision. However the 'classic' puzzles don't accomodate the new code very well.
The lack of demo is lacking.

someone mentioned icicles so i put in icicles.... not to conform to society or anything....
Look what I mapped Sober!
also, correct the jump height to be a little higher. 2D games with low jump height fail terribly, megaman was saved with wall jumping.
Isn't there a lack of animations for the character model? or are they fixed?

still looks bad from about 4 meters away. I'm in a library... I'm gonna get kicked out....
Dammit put a [!!!NSFW!!!] on that!
OMG I wanted to do something like this forever!
I could throw up a few maps just for fun
EDIT: Codename Gordon, only this one is not as crappy nor short.
Also, how do you aim weapons? is there a mouse cursor and you soot towards it, or is it like the mouselook stuff like normal.
any quick demo soon? just wanna see how it works...

I still vote for a 'Tools' section in TWHL3!I agree, I pass out my model utilities package once in a while, mostly because they can't find them on their own, or don't want to search around. Also, I have the utilities to make custom screen fonts for HL. Which I may make a tutorial some time.
Disable the indexing service.I should do that.
Also, avoid stuff like Registry Cleaners or Registry Defraggers, I did it once and It messed up a few things and almost knocked out my HL install... which is ok now I got a new disc... and it still didn't fix my 3ds max problem.
But check the performance and maintainence tab in control panels. Disable everything you don't need visually. I know in XP, if you disable all but the last 3 things, you keep all of the fanciness without the subtle details that eat ram and you won't miss.
habboi ftstfu. 
How about a "Finish a mod for once" compo. we could give out kittens.
k
edit: only 8 maps? theirs not much competition...
I'll get back to you on this one...

I invented the topless bar. No one ever credits me!
I see dark rooms with bright lights... couldn't you use some spotlights to control the light and create some better contrast maybe? just a thought...
Other than that, i love it! The bottom one, however, I can't tell what I'm looking at, but it still looks really cool with the cave... i think...

Thats a good idea for a compo. Cleanest Map............

You're cleaning it up very, VERY NICELY!!!
I demand 30 screens when you finish it.

I was hoping to map and work on it, but i had to finish a final. Which is now finished, so I may map, if permitting i may model for Sajo in the meanwhile since I do have a few hours of lab time left.
I need to draw out and better design the things I model anyway.
Prevents crap... ya know.

Well... the first area was once a proving ground, but had gotten so run down that it was later used for a storage locker for the other proving grounds hidden across the universe. Though its only for storage, its network of teleports to the other grounds are still connected. Its a place to start, there's no security, and the layout is simpler than the rest of the game. Don't worry it will still host loads of puzzles, since its an industrial zone, maybe I could do a sort of puzzles that correspond with industrial elements.
Either way, it still needs to look pretty, I agree. I have some ideas, but it may take more time to polish off the look I would like to achieve. I'm open to suggestions at this point.

I could fix up alpestrine like I want to and resubmit it... it would qualify for september, but I'm not going to do it because, to me, the project is done.
I like how mod stuff can enter as well. Foresay I can enter something from 6D. So working on a mod doesn't count me out of the competition.
I like the rules here, makes me want to do something pretty.

I doodled.
I was thinking of what kind of stuff i could put in. Its quick so I didn't divulge on the archetectural aspect. Apparently I still map better then what I can draw. 
Habboi: My eyes splode from your desktops. 
its mostly about the snow. particle snow is the shit.
...and the ramp is stairs. btw.
Also, the ambience, snow, and even the crappy lighting pulls this sample to life like i never done before in any previous map. It just needs style.
I'm still working on it, I posted it to prove that stuff has been happening behind the scenes here. I'm developing 4 times as many textures than normal for this one part of the game. I spend a good day working on that alone for just 1 map, so this process is going slow. Also, I need something to test daub's code.
Once I develop some decent visual styles, i'll repost... and i was drinking... emphasis on was.

Custom DLL's is modified game code, based from the DLL's from HL of course. Sometimes when new things are added to it, it can make existing stuff not work right.
If you are not using custom DLL's, something else is wrong.

Is this mod dead? Its been a month and no one has said anything...
