Why is it that coders are so hard to come across?
A very soggy one!
Starting... Now!
Inner WorkingsI don't know, that sounds like a bit more than just brushwork.
Either make a huge machine, or shrink the player so that they can fit inside a smaller machine. The competition is to make the inner workings of some sort of machine. Whether it be from something as simple as a clock, to a great nuclear reactor.
Vote for this idea!
How about we see who can make the best toilet? Everybody loves toilets!
78) Your dad.
82... MB's... Damn, this must be a big map, I can't wait to try it.
Edit: I checked it out, and I personally didn't think it was all that great. The lighting was rather plain, and the layout, as far as I could tell without noclipping, was just a box with redundant streets and buildings on it.
There was no outstanding architecture in any part of the map, and it had a very plain, un-atmospheric feeling to it, which was only covered up a little by the overuse of fog. The interior of the police station was equally boring, as there was a severe lack of detail.
By the way, I didn't try the DotD version, so that still has the possibility of being a lot better.
I personally don't see what the big deal about this map is. I didn't think it was extremely vast, and it just didn't do a very good job of convincing me I was in a city...
I could just have been expecting too much out of it, but I wasn't very impressed at all.

If you want to change any brushwork like elon saidElon? ELON?!?!?! What is up with you calling me Elon all the time?!?!
I assume you're looking for WinBSP, but there's no way to just decompile a map and add a few things into it, then recompile. The brushwork is all messed up when you decompile a map, as it carves the whole map out of a big block. You would have to reconstruct all the brushwork to be able to recompile correctly.
Methinks penguinboy wins the internet this time.
YEEHAW! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ITS SELF-IMPORTANT PEOPLE!
I should really just create a new WIP thread for this map, instead of showing pics of it in a thread named "butt-ugly lighting". 
Here's some new screens of the map. They aren't side-by-side comparisons, because a little too much has changed, but you should get a good enough idea of the improvement.

My skylights are a little bit different than most people seem to think, so I'm not sure these tips here would work as well with this.

It's some old batch compiler that few really care about anymore.
Why not just upgrade to Nem's compiler, eh?

I think there should have been something in there from the Ratchet & Clank games, there were just so many awesome guns in there.
Sure, the gravity gun is pretty cool, but it doesn't really have any feel to it, and that's one of the most important things... For me anyway. In some games, the weakest weapons can be the ones that I like the best, just because they had a nice sound to them, and I liked the weapon model!
It's kind of pointless though, this is really all about opinion. Pretty much every game out there has a great gun in it that might deserve to be on this list. It's what you like that counts, not what some video says, and certainly not what some nameless guy on the internet thinks.

36) Use it to pretend that you're some kind of supply, and sneak into the back of a truck, while they drive away with you... Worked in MGS!
Yeah, I thought chop would do that too, but I didn't notice any difference when I looked at the r_speeds. It might effect it a little bit, but I'm pretty good at keeping my r_speeds down anyway.
Wow, I actually got the whole problem all cleared up with just one little parameter! I just turned -chop to 32, and now it looks almost perfect.
Thanks for all the extra little tips given here, I'll be sure to make use of them in the map. Hopefully It'll be one of my few that gets released!
WCD: How would that change anything?

Here's the map with a "darker and less monotonous texture". You're right, it does completely destroy the problems I'm having... But it also destroys the feeling of the room. I want it to feel simple and modern, not old and run down, and because of this, I have to keep the texture I was using before.
I still have a few things to try before I give up on this.

I already have one actually, but I didn't think to use it!
By the way, that -bounce 6 thing didn't really seem to do much...

Bounce the Rad about 5 or 6 times to blur the edges on the sunlight on the floor.How is "bouncing the Rad" done, exactly?
There's really no better way to say it, my lighting looks like absolute crap.
I'm working in this wide open, fairly boxy room with two skylights, and some other windows next to a door on the wall. All the windows have a SKY brush right outside them, because there's no outside area yet.
The problem is that the lighting is really blotchy and spotty looking. You'll just have to look at this picture to see what I mean, as it's kind of hard to describe.

I've tried raising and lowering the texture scale, placing little light entities around certain areas to even it out, and trying different colored textures that would hide it better, but nothing is working very well. Is this just something I'm going to have to live with? Is there some ZHLT setting that'll even out the lighting for me?
At this point, anything would be great help.

But Spirit cannot be used in any way with CS, so that's pretty useless in this situation...
Just clearing that up so no "obvious" questions are asked.

More like mister .old to the rescue, you don't suppose somebody already said that, did they?

Heh, I finally got the page to load for me. Pretty interesting, and I know now that those posts were probably from the creator, or else they were just copied from the site.
I eat nuts. Lawl! 10-year-old humor FTW!
I looked around teh intarweb, and found many forums that had an "eon8" thread had a very similair post from (one would assume) the creator of the site. I'm guessing this is where DarkKilauea got this info from, but nobody can really be sure that he's actually the creator of the site... DUM-DUM-DUMMM!
So now it would be interesting to know, did anybody actually get scared in the last seconds of the countdown?

Sooo... How do you know that? Did the page load for you, and it said it?

I think it said in Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar that she was originally planned to be his (Odessa's) doughter, but that was changed... That info could be wrong though, since I kinda forgot what it said. 
A very, very interesting mod. Also possibly the crappiest mod ever, since most of those maps probably don't have anything to do with eachother.
who wacthes CNN anyways?Most. Uninformed. Statement. Evar.
Yeah, cold pizza is nice, but we don't have that too much.
Ice tea would have to be my favorite beverage, but I'm not sure about food... It couldn't be anything that gets crud all over your hands (Cheezits, highly seasoned Doritos, potato chips, brains, etc.), so things like toasty-toes and unsalted peanuts work well.
I looked it up on Wikipedia, and personally, I saw plenty of hair like that...
I think it's pretty obvious that at the very moment the countdown stops, zombie Hitler will be resurrected, and he'll take over the world.
That, or it's just another one of those stupid "end of the world" counters that pops up every month or so. :

I don't get it, why do you say she has "white people hair"?
I think it's teh end of teh wrlod! You have only about 7 hours to steal from shops, spam TWHL to death, mug somebody, commit grand theft auto, etc.
She's not actually white, she looks kind of mixed, doesn't she?.
Or Ned1, Ned2, etc. 
W............... T............... F................. Is this? Ned? Seriously, who cares? Name it whatever you want!

Ummm... Nice job getting that done wayyyyyyyyyyy after I did, but with a better presentation.
Done! Check the example maps.
Okay, I'll package it up and put it into an example map... As soon as I finish cleaning out the fridge for my Mom... 
I even compiled it without ANY errors, unlike VOX.

Spam FTW? I think not, but I took another look at the map, and found out how to do it. Me FTW.
