Those look terrible, Trapt. So does Vegemite :aggrieved:.
I did think before I postedSorry, getting annoyed with the endless double-postings within ten seconds of each other for no apparent reason.

Your session has expired.
I've neither mapped nor played any HL games for quite a long time. I play CS:S every week or so for a few hours with a friend, usually. I might enter the next competition if it's an HL1 one :).
Nah, I like my name as it is. I think. Yeah, yeah, I'll keep it for now.
Comments on the 'to-do' list?

THINK BEFORE YOU POST AND YOU WON'T NEED TO DOUBLE-POST!
Do you mean, my shortening of m0p, Ant, and Rabid's names to their modern selves? Simple database manipulation, why? I'm not making a habit of it, but they've all been here a long time and their forum names were a bit long. This way, all the forum mods fit on one line on the forum listing page, too :).

Yeah, but should we really have to re-tell everyone who comes through about ZHLT? If we weren't bothered about stuff like that, we wouldn't have any tutorials.
To-do list so far:
[quote]General New smilies in journals;
More special login messages;
PMs;
Seperate HL/Source tutorials;
News archives;
Proper tutorial proposal system linked to special forum;
Journal limiting (forbidding journal posts in quick succession).
Forums Allow editing of most recent post to topic if yours;
Icon for closed threads;
Previewing;
Stickies;
'Vault Only allow votes with comment, from logged-in users;
One vote/user;
No voting for own maps;
No rating for Problem or Example maps;
Require screenshot and description for "completed";
"Mod" text field in Map Info (for clarity and modicon "Other").
Modding Journal modding;
MV comment modding (by MV permissions, !forum ~).

Yeah. Enough. Die.
I think Robopope qualifies too, y'know?
I like the orange. I have considered implementing something I proposed to atom a long time ago, user selection of colour themes. Wouldn't be very hard, just loading different sets of images and a different CSS page.
What, Rabid?
"There won't be an edit button in TWHL. Period."Actually, I think I'll make it so you can edit a post if it has no replies after it. I can't see any problems that way. Previewing will be sorted too, though.
For peoples' information, pikelets are squashed crumpets.
No good. Try harder. Really.
Why not get gmax 6?
You will only be able to vote for any map once in the 'Vault/user, and must leave a comment with a vote. I'll make sure people don't make stupid 'asasast'-style comments just to spam votes.
Colour coding... change what?
I'd also thought of a forum/section called "Mapper Tips" myself a few days ago :). I mean, there doesn't even seem to be anywhere where newbies are told to use ZHLT, just links to it!

I like the tutorial awardI thought, and Ant and Rabid agreed, that people deserved at least as much recognition for writing a good tutorial as for being helpful in the forums or MV.
"Peanut butter"
I'm not going to do that. It's been discussed in the past and decided against.
Uh, that's a test account created by Rabid for, well, testing purposes :P.
What for?
I'm going to print the mod name in the map description if that's what you mean (the green "S" for Spirit isn't entirely self-explanatory) and I'm going to add an extra field for where people've specified "Other" as the mod icon.

Why? That's what the mod icons are for. I don't see a "Completed Spirit Maps" section, or a "DoD Example Maps" category.
Was this intended as a tutorial?
[quote]* Disable voting your own maps
What were your other ideas?
- Disable voting in problem maps
- Allow appending new content to forum posts
- Allow previewing your posts before posting them
- Seperate HL1 and Source tutorials. There's already support for multiple games. (Clicky!)
- Add an icon before closed threads.[/quote]
What were your other ideas?
Use a func_wall_toggle to cover the button, or a master. If the former, you might want a func_illusionary when the wall's 'off', and to then hide the _illusionary when it's 'on' (to stop nasty in-same-plane flickering).
Nice idea. An example map would be nice.
Check your profile, by the way.

I thought they were called just CST?
Try looking along the line specified on the X and Y axes. Maybe it just got one co-ordinate completely messed (so look up/down from that co-ord. without going along, and vice-versa).

Sounds a bit gross. I guess that's why we sent you lot away in the early 1800s :P.
Maybe we just wanted to get away from you!
Think you can out-edit me, boy? Daft lot :P.
Bastard. I declare Mod Wars!

On crumpets?
Uh... what? You're mapping for HL2, aren't you?
What? Why would you? Plus, surely you're not finished, so just remove the wadinclude for your final compile.
Don't be daft. They're very soft, and you toast them. They're quite nice.
256k upstream would be perfectly acceptable for serving two or three users simultaneously. Actual web content, though, would be noticably poor for 'downloading files' (sending binary data like music or programs).
Run a webserver from your PC. It's easeh, free, and your only real limit is your connection.
No Spirit. Sorry.
I dunno. You sometimes get off-grid errors, though, like malformed brushes with ZHLT.
Don't know off-hand. I think it's in sound/fvox, though.
No, you don't want anything to do with sound for the triggering bit.
I'm sure it would be.
Possibly not even then. Even 256MB cards are pretty much pointless at the moment. Everybody says so :).
Try moving stuff around to see whether it's the prop or the position.
Jimmy Eat World - Work
Ditto.
I don't think I'll add any other mod-specific ones for the time being. Maybe Spirit, but I do plan to add an "Other" one, for rare mod's maps, like OpFor, Ricochet, etc.
You need to look up about triggering, not sounds. Look in the Entity Guide for things starting trigger_, or, for timed stuff, use a multisource (see the Ent. Guide and tutorials).
Of course you should. It's not at all risky; if there're problems, they'll be easily fixable.
a) You mean you don't want any stereo effect? I think you're screwed there. You could always have three in a triangle, that might neutralise the effect reasonably.
b) You'll have to be making a mod and empty the logon wave file, then. Well, that or Spirit.

I hope so. I think this discussion could probably stop now, BL?
'Course.
Well, you must be able to see the cliffs, obviously, and you must have a tram stop and tracks. Have to wait for Kasperg's decision on whether the tram has to be there or move.
Go for it!
