in Competition 24: Map from Layout Post #235629
that new layout is fine.

@blitz: it could be a window, but it cant be traversable, meaning you cannot go through it. you can modify the scale/size/structure or each room, as long as the paths between them are still existant, without any extra paths.

the RMF holds data the compiler doesn't use, but hammer does: visgroups, the 'colour' of the brushes in the 2d views, groups, etc.

to be more specific, .rmf is a hammer-specific format, .map is just a list of coordinates and stuff.

didnt you listen zeeba? doodle won the last compo and he helped with this compo.

ghetto: that's not allowed, because you've added an extra pathway (at the T spawn). you can modify the structure, as long as the available paths remain the same.

into

modify your settings for the new path, and try again. don't know if it'll work though.

i've replaced all the massive images with links, except for the first post. from now on, limit the size to around the size of tetsuo's images, and no more than four images. and include text, even if it's just a list like strider and playbus.

Lets get some things straight.

[m]THE COMPO IS NOW OPEN TO SINGLEPLAYER AND MULTIPLAYER. THE COMPO PAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED. READ IT TO SEE THE ALLOWED GAMES.[/m]

All Grim's points are correct, except the last one about a story, which is now only valid when doing a singleplayer map.

Rimrook, if you want to do your own traced version, be my guest. Theres no grid because yes, mappers can make up their own proportions.

below is a very simple, made in paint, modification of the layout, that is perfectly valid, but won't score you points in creativity. The closer the better, but changes such as this will be accepted.

Note that you'll need to supply a mailing address to recieve the stickers, be it home, work or a PO box. If you don't want to, we'll email you the letter in PDF format for you to print out and a copy of the "YOU'RE WINNER" picture instead. But that will be handled after judging, so don't worry about that for now.

hmm, my gaming history ey?
One of the first games I ever played would be Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega Master System. The original Sonic. I never owned a NES, SNES, MegaDrive, N64,Playstation. Just the SMS.

Until, I think I was in grade four, I got myself a Gameboy Colour (all my friends had GB pockets and were jealous) and POKEMON BLUE. Not long after that i got POKEMON GOLD. yay. I still have the badge/pin thing that came with it.
User posted image
Anyway.
not long after that i was introduced to METAL SLUG. you know, the arcade game.
User posted image
thankfully the machine was at a holiday place so i had money most of the year.

next up was DOOM on one of my dads friends computers. not long later, he showed me QUAKE 3. i forget if i had a computer then or not. either way, i got my first computer in 2003, iirc. 2.66 P4 CPU, 512 RAM, GeForce 4 MX 440. One of the first games to grace it was Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I don't have it installed so google for a screen if you want.

I quickly made friends with a bloke who game me the matrix reloaded three days before it actually came out. we played ricochet at a LAN at his place.
If you've never played ricochet at a LAN, you're missing out.
I'm too lazy to provide a screen of ricochet.

that cracked WON install of Half-life laid dormant on my pc for quite a long time. I still had no internet.
I played Half-Life. I didn't think much of it. I got stuck at "On a Rail", not realizing you could shoot the arrows to change tracks.

about a year later, with a fuller appreciation of gaming in general, i played through half life again (on a legal copy, platinum edition), this time actually realizing how awesome it was. i still got stuck at On a Rail, but was dicking around and actually shot a track arrow by accident.

to this date, i never beat the nihilanth.

anyway. around the release of half-life 2, i was using dialup from the kitchen phone line. then my parents decided to get me broadband for my birthday. how nice. by then, i had registered at TWHL, but had never posted. I taught myself to map while i was internet-less, and introduced one of my mates to it also.

when i got internet on my main computer, i immediately went and bought retail HL2 and registered it on steam, as well as my copy of HL platinum.
when the SDK came out, i started posting here. i started a mod in 2004, for Half-life, which was transferred to HL2, which isnt dead, but has no content whatsoever. (well, not completely true, but whatever).

i forget the rest. its funny how i remember what i did ages ago but not recently. oh well. sorry for making you read this rambling story. or, if you're anything like me, you didnt. enjoy.

EDIT: oh, in there somewhere is a short lived xbox, which belonged to my dad but i traded it in and kept the cash, also my GB colour died and was upgraded to GBA (original version), then DS, now i have DS lite. last december i got a Wii.

thats so helpful. the only piece of information we need and you're "not sure" about it. also be more specific about the CPU, although i doubt it's the problem. since it's HL1, you either have a computer from 1999, or you have a virus or something.
