Muzzel, I think you do whatever you want.

I dunno... Just the idea of Breen living in a house on a cliff seems... weird, to say the least...
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-17 16:11:02 UTC Post #121643
I agree. It should be called Breen's office, from where he controls Black Mesa personal. House is just weird and doens't fit in Black Mesa.
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-17 16:16:36 UTC Post #121644
Its doesn't have to be Black Mesa! maybe he just has a quick rought to Black Mesa by a train, and to be able to work there, his house is built in the same deserted desert!

well, just don't change it, cause I've already started :glad:

Sorry I havent been able post sooner than this..

-You dont need to copy the tram from HL if you dont want to, you can make your own if you wish, maybe a different design (more personal, for fewer passengers etc);

-The train doesnt have to move at all, and It isnt actually required! You could just make the train tracks and a tram stop as is specified in the rules. Of course, if you can manage to pull a nice sequence with the tram getting to the house, it would be nice :);

-The setting would be more like the first pic, since it's an outdoor one. The reason to mention the cliffs, is so people dont make a house placed in the boring flatness of the desert! Be creative, you can do lots of things in the outside that will make the map more interesting.;

-The house is near a cliff. It can be on the cliff (as Muzzleflash pointed out), under a cliff, on top of a hill etc. The choice is yours and each has advantages and disadvantages.;

-The reason why we are mapping his house and not his office is very simple. The office would be a bit too easy and we would get much less variaty in the entries. With this theme I'm sure we are going to see great stuff! :o

I could give more tips, but since some of you have already started, it could be unfair. I'll keep answering questions as soon as possible :)

Does it have to be a house... Can it be something like... an underground secret place of his or something? Or can the entrance be something like a cavern or something?
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-17 19:14:33 UTC Post #121704
Yes, you could hide the entance with a cavern etc.
But remember it has to make sense. Would the Black Mesa administrator have his house underground? wouldnt he need a bit of natural light?
Keep in mind that this is where he goes to relax after a hard day's work at the BM office complex...
Just make sure it isnt too isolated from the outdoor.
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-17 21:07:16 UTC Post #121707
Dr Breen doesnt need any natural light. He would melt from it :lol:

Thanks for the information Kasperg! :glad:

I hope you like my entry :biggrin:
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-17 22:41:54 UTC Post #121719
Someplace relaxing...

I think I have an idea...
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-17 22:58:52 UTC Post #121720
Nope, it has nothing to do with brush work, instead entity work, and I have finished it... although, ran into a problem I need help on--->

Check the HL1 Question forum!

I forgot to remove before I first compiled the level a wadinclude prameter thats includes a wad that I wont use in my map! Do I have to include the wad in the zip/save as the map now? :zonked: :nervous:
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-18 03:23:29 UTC Post #121747
What? Why would you? Plus, surely you're not finished, so just remove the wadinclude for your final compile.

Wow the compiling prosses took 10 minutes it must be those darn huge scales for the r_speeds are low! :tired:

You guys have no idea what a long compile is :|.

only 10 minutes? :)
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-20 09:06:59 UTC Post #122254
Each of my maps takes like 20 minutes to compile...

They aren't very long, but, a compo isn't long, right?
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-20 09:11:26 UTC Post #122257
Who knows I didn't check,Maybe 15 maybe 20! :sarcastic: :aggrieved:
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-20 09:40:18 UTC Post #122263
The worst compile times I've heard have been 2~ days. :zonked:

9 and a half hours for me. I'm still under a minute for the compo. Anyone else?

Posted 19 years ago2005-07-20 11:07:49 UTC Post #122276
Cause of Death, my first completed real map, for a compo. here, took a few hours to compile.

I got a little stupid question! I never knew how to check (from the console or hammer) a level with a higher difficulty skill! How can I do that? :|
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-20 11:12:54 UTC Post #122281
i have half completed map and it takes ~1h to compile :aggrieved:
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-20 11:25:38 UTC Post #122284
skill 0-3, I believe.

I know my spanish suck, bu isnt it Casa De La Administrator?
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-24 01:54:30 UTC Post #123081
No, he's a male administrator, so it'd be Cass De El Administrador, which is written 'del' (obviously, you can't pronounce 'de el' otherwise).

Why is the title in Spanish anyway? :)
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-24 06:56:55 UTC Post #123114
Doesn't Kasperg live in Spain..? Or somewhere like that..
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-24 07:01:18 UTC Post #123117
That is correct. But it was Seventh's idea :cool:
