It's true freshed, and I don't even want to add another post to an alredy dead thread, but the main reason I responded was I had the SAME EXACT Idea at the SAME TIME as Sharkie, and, I thougtht that was a neat thing to mention... : /
Looks neat though I don't know what it is. Since it's the "Best Game Ever" i must try it. = ) Would you mind PMing me links for roms and emulators too? (I've had some viruses from rom sites in the past, so i'm scart = 0 )
Yeah me too, I agree, though I still can't stop myself from trying to make some more!

I've tried various lambdas, with little success. Here's the latest trying to mash up goldsource and HL2 logos:
)
I had the idea a couple of days ago to make a realistic mod for goldsource, but never put any thought into it, so I never posted anything. (isn't it weird how we sometimes we as humans come up with the same ideas simultaneously and independently!)
I have to agree with everyone else though, there's no sense in posting simply the idea... Imho:
1. Think the idea through
2. Decide what will work and what won't
3. Build some REAL content
4. Rebuild/revise it 'till you have something worth looking at
5. Post that!

I'm going to try to do more work on my tank tonight... I want to finish it so
I can work on something else.
Moar Model Challenges pleez... MOAAARRR!

make two seperate boxes then weld them by sticking two sides of each box together.The only way I can do it is to delete the box polygons facing each other.
Is that the solution?
You may be right Strider, but It doesn't make it any less fun creating them. = )
Here's what I got so far:
Downoload (contains favicons and instructions to make them the way I did)
These pretty much suck because I'm just getting started and don't really know what I'm doin... (notice the transparency flaws)
Anyway imo, a favicon that incorporated Elements of Half-life and Hammer would be ideal and if it could represent HL1 and HL2 as well, then even better. This is a tall order considering the space, but I'm curious to see what people come up with!

I just edited a post and it bumped me top o the list... new feature or bug?
Yeah, I thought they had to be "together" else you'd get smoothing errors, but as long as you say it's okey, that's all I need to know! (Yeah, the other side is the same thing: they share the same vertex, but I can't weld them)
Appreciate it! = )
Appreciate it! = )
nothing, just very plain imo. very... i dunno it seems utterly unassuming, almost to the point of transparency! Too clean I guess is what I'm trying to say... = )
Hammer 3.4 won't work for source maps afaik. (i don't map for source, but I'm pretty sure)
Make a... uh, pretty-cool-new favicon for TWHL, and then, post it; what do you think?
I'm workin' on mine right now... = )

Or, you could use QuArK. (the page is down atm fsr, but it's usually ok)
Yeah about the Welding:
Here's a pic/link to my max file, maybe if you have time you can try to weld what I'm talking about. I'll just rebuild it if you can't weld it either.
Download!
And for that collapse thingie, it seems they have to be part of the same polygon to work? (I couldn't get those guise to collapse)
Skeetz: I was guna make one of those too! = )

Espen: I dunno. I heard the max 9 plugins exist but I never tried them... I remember seeing links somewhere tho, lemme check my bookmarks and I'll get back to you.
Here's my latest, still no textures, but this turret took me a while:
Rimrook: I use that clone/scale edge thing a lot... very useful, though I'm having trouble sometimes welding them to new stuff... I can select each vertex indepentdently, but they refuse to weld.
Do you have some general tips on welding?
Tetsu0: That looks great! Did you day that will be a crowbar replacement?
Strider: Nice stool the second one. = )

That's exactly why.
The comments pertain to that map, so if someone is talking about the cool func_train in your map in comments, someone searching "func_train" would get that map in the search results.

could someone edit my previous post to fix the thumb please? (at the beginning, after the url tag, ] to =.

Penquinboy:
kk. With the search function again maybe you could add if you search for something in quotes, it also gives you the results without spaces, like:
dm_starwars
So if you searhed "star wars", that map would show too.
It's not a huge deal, I just remebered getting moar results on the old TWHL. Will comment terms be included eventually too?

2 The search function for Map Vault is acting weird: If I type "star wars" Jobabob's map doesn't come up, plus results not containing those terms do.
3 Search bar resets to tutorials. Liek, if you do a search in the map vault, and then click on a map link, the search topic changes back to tutorials. Not a big deal and I can't even remember how it worked on the old site. (i thought if you set it to "forums" it would stay on fourms until you logged out, maybe?)

Ant/Strider/Penguinboy: Thank you for your hard work and determination. Your efforts are appreciated very... um, here, let me show you:
I do not Skeetz, you changed it to indexed color right? If not that, what's the size of you .bmp? Maybe it has to be at or under 512 x 512??
Tetsu0: Yeah mine settings are exactly the same, but I'm using 3 viewport images instead of 1 (I'm guessing ur using 1), so maybe that's part of my problem.
I ended up getting it to work though. the top and front images lined up right, but the "left" image was showing at the wrong size. After playing with it, I found you could toggle off the lock/zoom and use the smooth zoom feature (lower right magnifying glass) and actually scale the background image somehow (using a box as reference for height/length), if that makes any sense.
Anyway, here's my beautiful boxy t-84 WIP... I'm going to start the turret tomorrow:
Download and maek fun
And finally just for the lulz, I just learned you can extrude vertices:

No no no, I thought the Hunter intentionally posted an erroneous filename for positive lulz? I'm lost...

NIce WorldCrafter! I dld your H&K mp5 replacement, it looks nice : )
(and sound too: win... I can't understand how some people make these nice replacements and don't edit the sound... I mean, that's like half the battle!)

HLMapper: It's not free, but there are other ways to get it, but things liek that should be discussed points elsewhere... <cough cou-Bit-uu-Torr-uu-ent-h cough>
Tetsu0: looks sweet, is that with mesh smooth?
Rimrook: I'm having problems with getting the viewport backgrounds images to work correctly. They bork and rescale, and even though I made there proportions in photoshop perfect I can't get them to show up even in the correct proportions in max, not to mention the random distortions and having to hit ctrl-alt-shift-B (longest SHORTCUT evar) to update them.
Is there an easier way?
Also having a problem with getting the snap settings to my lieking (moar like Hammer grid snap). (like if you turn off snap and move something, and then turn it back on and try to snap to a grid point, it won't seem to do it)
I've been going through the max 7 bible and trying stuff, but this interface is so overly complicated and counter-intuitive (at least compared to my familiarity to hammer) that I'm not even sure what I'm doin half the time lawl!
Here's my current snap-related settings:
-Use Axis Constraints [on}
-Reference Coordinate system [constant]
-snaps set to: gridlines and vertex
-what is grid nudge distance (can you "nudge" objects like in hammer?)
-grid nudge distance set to 0
Sorry for the long-winded post, The truck comes for me soon. = )
edit: I got the snapping problem sorted, but don't ask me what I did, cuz I don't know! : ) I am curious how you run your snaps tho Rim.

Yeah de_Mon is amazing, and my first impression was I almost crapped myself... : 0
It's also rare to see the sky match the world so seamlessly too, Impressive work in all respects, though the big texures and overly brightness in most areas wore on me a bit.

Whoa you guys are right about the fps banana... they have tons of crap for Half-Life (as well every ohter mod). I'll pimp screenies when I choose all my favourite replacements and get them in the game.
Rimrook: Those Turnstile weapons you mentioned look crazily unique and cool!

Awsome Redka!
Those spheres are damn perfectly round... I really need to get my QuArK up and running... I downloaded it and installed, but it's so different and I'm so lazy, I haven't done much more than set up the paths and open it up.
Nice world props two, though they would look MUCH sexier with nicer texturing: A l ot of the the objects appear flat-shaded.

Srry: personal preference. Maps you think are great may genuinely not impress someone else.
SPs in general for example are boring/repetative to me, no matter how carefully made (not to take away the enormous amount of work and dedication goes into making even a mediocre sp).
Everyone raves about Minimicus and while i appreciate and am awed by the technical challenges, I didn't like it and wouldn't play it again.
Daubster: I'll put alpestrine ahead of de_mon if it breaks the tie. I played them both again, and while de_mon is an amazing achievement of performance and unprecedented size (as well some neat doodads) I have to prefer the eleganct, escheresque beauty of alpestrine.
Another thing that really impresses me about that map is though the playable area is rather small, the immensely creative layout makes it "feel" much bigger; You can and do get confused as to where you are and where you're going! (which is perfect for a smaller map, not too much worry about landmarking)
Mon and Alpestrine are opposites of sorts, and both awsome, but I prefer Dm_Alpestrine.

Still doesn't work, and I sure haven't changed my directory structure since then... could it be a steam update or sumthin? It's just weird that it all of the sudden stopped workin.
Half-life launcher unexpectedly stopped working. (it was working fine before today, and I've used it pretty much everyday since it came out)
No matter what "account name" I put in, or path to steam's root directory, it says:
And what exactly is the steam root directory? C:steam? ..steamapps? ( i guess it doesn't matter because i tried every possible directory and it still gives the same error.

"The game as it's portrayed in the film never existed"
Meaning in the movie, there is a fictional arcade game (it was actually in development by atari I think, but they scraped the project before it was
done), and the screen/game is from a fan-based creation of the fictional
game.
Another hint the movie is old... = )

That's enormously useful Rimrook... It even creates the the connecting edges, sweet. I'm beginning to see what you mean by the polys being more advanced 
All this new knowledge and I can't think of anything to make... I've been looking through blueprints of Russian battle tanks from WW2 on, but nothing's inspiring me. I think I'll just jump in and start cloning-draggin edges and see what comes up!

I MAEDED PIPES AND WELDS AND SMOOTHEDED!...
Tetsu0: if you mean like add verticies (in hammer ctrl + f) try this:
**Slice the plane like Rim showed us (I tried just selecting 2 edges and JUST slicing those, but it slices through everything still).
**Now the face/polygon is split, but you have 2 sets of verticies.
**Select all the verticies you just sliced/made and weld
Now the "face" is split in too. If you actually want to manipulate "faces" you can, but not in editable poly. In editable poly there is no face option fsr...
Rim: What's the difference between editable mesh/ploly? When I modelled in gmax eons ago, I always used mesh, but your editable poly ways seem much easier. = )

touch it
The only thing I had to add to the .qc file was a texture called null.bmp to get it to work. does this mean I left faces untextured?
Anyway, Thanks so much for the tutorial! = )

Tutorial is great for me till I get to the part where you assign the bone. Fsr, I can't get it to "attach" to my crate.
The only thing I can thing to add to the tutorial would be to copy/cut/enlarge some of the icons you'll be using in each section, and place them at the start of each step where they'll be used.
I'm using max 7, here's the file if you want to look:
Crate SDK (lolz)
I found this on Valve Development Community for hl2 static models, it includes a few extra steps, but I didn't try it yet:

I found this on Valve Development Community for hl2 static models, it includes a few extra steps, but I didn't try it yet:
5) Make 1 bone by clicking on the very center (0,0,0) and then right clicking. It'll create 2 joints (1 bone). (Check screen shot)edit: NEVERMIND! I was trying to move the box, not move the bottom of the bone as instructed! : ) (finishing now)
6) Apply a physique modifier to your model and attach your simple rig as the node.
7) Click the plus next to Physique in the modifier list and select vertex.
8) Select all of the verts and click assign to link. Then click the green plus symbol, set "Blending between links" to "No Blending", and click on your bottom bone at 0,0,0. All the verts should turn green.

lol i figured the problem with the jumping for tetris: I didn't know you had to tap twice for the double jump... I thought your jump was supposed to be just twice as high.
anyway, I had fun playing at 450 gravity... I almost made it the 2nd try = )
Good job Hlife_hodog, it's lots of fun and the music is pwn.

I just found you can open BSP files natively in QuArK!
Maybe someone who is more versed in it can elaborate? <calls to redka> = )

Did anyone have a problem with double jumping in the tetris map? Do I have to set that command in the console?
Sure is. = ) You can open/compile the .rmf file too if you want to create the bsp.
