Yeah some times I just encircle some complex but not to vast archtitecture tightly with a nulled wall then tie the archtitecture to a func_wall to make the work for vis and rad easier. If I want to make bsp's work easier then I place a clip brush around the archtitecture- Simplifies the 1st-3rd hulls. 
Don't bug me about screens as I'm only going to start it as soon as the compo ends. We have plenty of time!

espen180, the null texture is your excess face killing friend.
My map:
GAMEPLAY:
um, just add this stuff together for a picture.
Quarenteened city + giant alien thing + destruction + havoc + assaulting giant alien thing + time limit + puzzles + nihilanth.
CUSTOM STUFF:
Whatever I need/can come up with.
WEAPONS:
Whatever fits.
LOCATION:
city and funky spirit physics alien spaceship.
LENGTH:
Two maps, going for about 1-2 hours of gameplay.

That's going to be harder than you think Unless you're planning on a lot of backtracking... (Sandscroll is made up of two maps with puzzles, and takes 5-7 minutes to complete)There will be some slowish moments at the beginning, and hopefully a few mini cutscenes in there aswell. Let's say 8-12 minutes. ;D

You should also make use of the archer fish model(archer.mdl), it is very nice, always wanted one like it to shoot spikes like that pit drone in opfor, but that requires coding.
Maybe somebody from TWHL can do that, after all some of the AI can be found in Hl1- ichy and some can be found in opfor or sven co-op- pit drone.
Maybe we can make a small func_tank that shoots them and follows the fish, but it wont look just as good.

Oh yeah, I always like over powered enemies. Come on I bet you don't hear anything before he shoots and his shots are probebly instantly hit the target, like all the other enemies in Hl1. If you can't change code that don't make such over powered enemies. You can't make them aim at the place you wew 0.1 second ago or something, nor you can make their shots slower or some warning sound a moment before they shoot, and that they shoot at the place when that sound were heard. This way you can't make them fight you in open space because they'll always hit. This means your map will have slow gameplay, which I despise.

can't you just stop him headshooting as that seems less work to code than the above ways.

@Espen. I assume your gonna get Sven-Coop's approval before you release their skins in this mod right?
@DragonFly: Its a hell of a lot easier to edit the 'skill.cfg' rather than use coding.

@ Muzz: No need, because of Spirit's trigger_command entity, which allows you to input console commands. A tutorial would be nice though.So are we useing spirit or not????

I had some ideas for my map, including bad guys and weapons...
Whether they will appear in this (due to the amount of work it involves) I dont know. For now though, here are the concepts:
I have so many more of these, hundreds in fact. Most are stored away in various cupboards and such, but if I find something new - I'll post them here, or another thread.
If anyone wants concepts for any project they are doing, I'll be happy to help out

I dont seem to have a name for them yet. They're dwarf-like, difficult to kill, very quick and stealthy...
...And they make a strange 'jibba-jabba' noise ( lol )
Hmmmm
Being as though I can't code or model, I very much doubt they'll appear in the map...

I'm going to try to make some models myself, since the regular grunt doesn't fit my theme too well.

Oh I have to have an object like that? Oh well, guess the reactor will use some object to cool it down or something, although I was planning on a coolent system... guess I'll have to think of some vital part of the core.

Post #214835
I know I'm talking of my reactor's core. It'll be nice if you'll be able to see all the parts after you've placed them in the portal. Like a place for the battries...ect
I think I have an idea of what I should do. When you arive into the main room with the reactor core. First you'll need to shut down the securty system then the safty shield, which will be quite close, only needs alot of fighting to get to. Then you need to go to another level shutdown the coolent system and when you'll get there you'll see it exploding and the whole place destroyed. Lasers will be shot from the reactor and you'll need to get by them to the reactor, through all the debris and open it. If you open it before you'll be killed because of the heat, and you couldn't shut it down from reasons I didn't really think about, just want to see it destroyed. Then you take that piece of equipment and have 60 seconds to leave the compound.

I love those concepts Jahzel! w00tn355!
My section will include Chaos Grunts - Heacrabbed grunts that still use tactics and can use their radios which makes for such eerie sounds as heard below. They are slower than human grunts but harder to kill (Think Zombine with Guns)
I can't wait to model the poor sod that sounds like this.

Rather than have the two pushables I'd say just use the one with a computer already on a cart. Then move that to a trigger at the start of the level triggered only by pushables.

As I have seen many a joint project fail... probably due to me, I have learned a few things, which might help you.
Good luck, I hope I helped...
- There should be size restriction guidlines
- NO TELEPORTERS. They just give someone the opportunity to add whatever they want, where a joint map should be built off the previous maps.
- Try and make each map assigned to 3 people. A Giant list of who is going to go next, and which map they will add onto will help it go smoother. Go look at my old list...
- There should be TIME LIMITATIONS.
- If someone not there, skip him.
- there could be a bumping down the list penalty
- decide on TEXTURES.
- People would use textures from .wads I did not have...
- Communication is VITAL
- I suggest making a website, not just a cluttered thread as this,
Good luck, I hope I helped...

We're doing our own maps separated by a central hub, so teleporters can be used in some places (within our own sections). Garg was handling the hub, wasn't he? I'm still waiting to see that "...allows me to attach any map to it by whatever means the author has and is visually impressive."
