The steps have the same curve as the wall but you cant tell from the screenshot. its kind of a weird looking thing on paper i guess
@ rimrook. i already have those in my map. yeah yeah its aztec but they are holding a pyramid on their heads. 
Goldsource. I can't ever seem to get motivated to finish this map. It's going to just go in the trash but wanted to show some of the custom textures i made or edited.
ive been mapping for cz only since i started mapping. would a .bsp compiled for CZ work or do i need to config hammer for HL?
Force Unleashed
I am going to think about the best way to go about this...
I was thinking of hosting a competition. I have been away for several years now and just got back. I have a map that i wanted to port to source but i just got caught up in life. I have the textures and all that moved over but never got the entities and water working. What are the rules for this, can i even host a compo? details to follow, but i think the winner would get a cash prize.

i like this site it has lots of valuable information. while i do have some complaints about functions, its hard to say anything when there are really no other places available. It is pretty hard to break in here, and im not so sure thats a bad thing. Someone said it takes hours to get things answered in here... are you kidding me? if someone cant wait a few hours then screw them. it beats the hell out of waiting days months or years at other mapping sites that overall blow (with teeth)!

its this one for me. playing guildwars in the pvp arena. the pic i got is 125 wins but we actually got over 140 consecutive wins. had to stay up all night to keep winning and i actually called in sick to work so i could keep playing. until we all just decided we could never lose. it was a blast. i wish i could find my final score screenshot. oh well.
i like the chess set hunter. nice work

"gameplays crap" isn't critisizm, its klobbering. -You made pingpong invented by saggy bottoms bob mcenzee in 1642 you ball.you're both right. BRING ON THE NEXT CHALLENGE!
That's pretty klobberish too.
zeeba-g i read your posts and it is obvious what you are trying to say is that you spent lots of time on your map and you are disappointed that it didnt fair better. I admit saying gameplay is crap doesnt help you out much in the way of getting advice on how to improve things. but if you bash others maps without taking the time to appreciate what they did i think you will not be met with very many positive comments.
the only reason i say this is because i take criticism a little too personally as well. im trying to understand the statements so i can improve but sometimes people dont comment with much tact.

man im sad. i misunderstood the rules i thought it was remaking the game, not just a level based on the game. i thought it was a mod or something i dont know. i wish i had entered my gg_battlecreek map. can someone look at it and rate it just for the hell of it? i would like to get the feed back on it. thanks
yeah this is what i meant by i generally know what a mod is. but will i need programming knowledge or some kind of a team?
I generally know what a mod is, however, what is classified as being a mod? What kind of limitations are there? I was thinking of ideas but i'm not sure what i really need to get it off the ground. i can map and make textures, but what do i really need?
there are ways to do it, other than extracting. might not be as good but you can always printscreen and then edit it in photoshop.

I want to get some police cars for my map but i didnt want to make them. I know prefabs are generally frowned upon but im just talking props. would someone be willing to make some police car models/brushes for me to use in a map. i guess that's it. thanks. do we have or can we get a download section like this for twhl? It would be nice to have a donation area from some of the great mappers here at this site.
everyday. and everyday i try something new. i have about a thousand shitty maps that will never see the light of day. i just dont have the imagination and creativity that most of you seem to have. it took me forever and a day to make my dm_templefalls_cz map and i used textures from Sock on the wadfather. i now spend half my time on textures and the other half mapping.
i like apples
yeah i compiled with full vis in these screen shots. urbanebula im not sure i understand what u are saying, but the room that is cut off is near the end of the building and there is a wall and stairs that are cut off completely u cannot see them in the screen shot.
here is a screen shot from hammer:
in game this is whats happening:
what am i doing wrong? i never had this happen before, but i have also never had sky brushes where it mattered
yeah sure. i could make one. i need to go get an xbox and play halo again. i forgot most of the maps. haha i saw a hang em high map for cz and it was ok a little too big but hard to get the sizing right im sure.
stixmaster i have made a few maps for this type of mod. i made them for gungame but they work great with deathmatch and halo mods. random spawns are built in. anyway here is a link to the maps. the best ones are going to be gg_pyramids and dm_templefalls_cz and gg_bridge_teleporter. i realize this maynot be just what u want but... i hope it helps. if not i will be glad to make a map for you.

I'm not saying i am a master mapper but i can sure tell the difference in my work from a year ago. There are so many deadlink sites yet this one is still here. Most of you have been helpful to me in some way or another. Not trying to kiss up, just saying thanks because it is truly appreciated.

here are some of the textures i have made recently. speaking of tiling, once i get a single tile, i make new layers and edit inside keeping a border. check out the sands textures to see what i mean. it always scrolls nice but the pictures are different. last few pictures are not textures.

this has already been done. it is called fun_matrix or something to that effect. there are several different mini maps and at the start of each new round a door opens and u go to the next map in sequence. i suggest you check it out. there are 2 maps with similar names and they both have the same thing going on.
I was wondering if anyone uses Bryce and how they like it. Is there a different program that is better?
if u run a batch file you could tell it to copy the map more than once with a line like this i believe...
copy mapname.bsp "C:\Steam\SteamApps\EMAIL\counter-strike\cstrike\maps"
pause
copy mapname.bsp "f:\counter-strike\backups"
pause
"C:\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 10 -dev +map mapname
im not sure if u need the first pause or not. this should allow u to copy to your normal maps directory, plus a backup directory, and then launch the game.

im trying to make a city type map, but things keep fading in and out. i dont think the distance is more than a map such as awp_rooftops. i would like to make the viewable distance greater, but im not sure how to do that. would hint brushes help this problem?
i wish i would have just gotten a lighted keyboard with no extra features.
Who ever wants a logitech g15 keyboard let me know. im selling it for half the retail price. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3498&cl=us,en
its brand new. but i live 3 hours away from the store i got it from and i dont care for how it feels.

i wish the font was bigger in the last post column. I tried to increase it but it stays small while the rest of the page increses. Its kind of hard for me to pickout the name of the author.
ok here is are some screens from cz and close to matching screens from source. i forgot id also like some ambience for the waterfall and running water. but not very much.
some things dont work the same. and because of a promotion at work i cant really take time to do it right now but i want it to get done. as u can see. in cz i used the addative feature but in source it is GONE! i also want more realistic lights and would like it to be a little lighter. one of the biggest complaints i got was the map is too dark in cz. please if u want to help me on this play my cz map and check it out. then you will have a better feel of it. http://twhl.co.za/mapvault_map.php?id=4897

I made a map for counterstrike and am porting it to source. I need some help though and now i dont have time to finish it. basically what needs done are entities: lighting, ladders, water, spawns. not too much. if anyone is bored and wants to help me knock it out i would really appreciate it. if you would like to help post here. i can provide screens or whatever if anyone is interested.
i recently found Metacreations Poser 4 in a box when i was cleaning. does anyone know if it would allow me to make models for halflife? if so is it even worth it to learn this, since it is no doubt several years old.
it looks like a good game for little kids that want to mash buttons. looks boring as hell
