I was going to discuss, but then I saw grim commanding us to discuss and I taught "You are not the king of me!!!!", so I shall not discuss.

Well, I will need to use custom models to map my dream.
These models are also going to have to replace existing NPC's so I hope you guys don't mind all your scientists in HL turning into Urbys.
(I still don't get the NO MOD FOLDERS rule) :rly:

"Professor Morris to the test chamber, Professor Morris to the test chamber"
stampede towards the direction of the test chamber
No, I wouldn't mind. It'd be funny.
As soon as I get an idea, I'll be in.

No mod folders because no custom code. BspZip/WadInclude as much custom content as possible. Entries that overwrite existing files will be...annoying. You run the risk of ruining other people's entries by replacing models they may have used in their entries. A mini-mod format would be acceptable for entries that want to replace models. Entries containing custom code, UI (potatis), or anything besides in-game content, will be disqualified.
Also: Maps will be judged on Steam versions of all games, no exceptions. If your entry doesn't work on Steam, it won't be judged.
The most important rule of all: Your entry MUST contain your TWHL username and something about competition 28. If you do not include this information in either your map name (BSP file) or mod name (liblist/gameinfo), you will be disqualified immediately.

One that checks your spelling.
Chrome has it too.
It comes up in any field you type in, so unless you're using an out-dated version, all your typos come up with red underlines. It's pretty obvious.

Skals you may have to activate it by right-clicking on a text input field and clicking "Check Spelling". You can also activate it for all text fields on all sites by checking "Check my spelling as I type" under Settings > Advanced > General > Browsing. You may also have to download a dictionary for it to work. Here's the British dictionary.

Yeah, my concern was the possibility of overwriting peoples stuff. I will just be replacing models and maybe a few sounds. No code or anything that changes the core engine.

Post #282401
Is It possible to include models into the bsp files? Just like we can do .wad include? It's worth asking atleast.

There are a few apps that can do it for you.
I have an idea, and am working on it now. Good luck to the other participants.

You can only do that with Source. Source bsps can be all-inclusive.

Post #282433
Your entry must NOT be in mod format. If you have custom content, the content should be zipped in the appropriate folder structure.Oh and skals, you're probably writing better than you've expected if no red underlines appear to you :p.
I hope I won't be lazy and do all the hard work in the last week. I've got some pretty damn good ideas here. The problem is... it's easier to make them in hl1, but they would look better in source. And source is much better... oh well.

I got the red underline thing activated now. Ty.
also:
Edit: What makes you think that the maps will be judged like that striker? The Admins pretty much know the capabilities of both engines and they will not let an entry get a higher rating only because it looks a bit better than the other due to it being source engine based.
also:
A mini-mod format would be acceptable for entries that want to replace models. Entries containing custom code, UI (potatis), or anything besides in-game content, will be disqualified.Models cannot be zipped into goldsrc .bsps so I have to create a mod format and according to Penguinboy it is allowed!

I'm not saying that. I'm trying to say that for source people tend to expect better quality mapping.

I have a bunch of incredible dreams i've had.. I just don't have the skill to script / facepose / do audio conversations in source.

Well, I have 2 dreams in mind.
One of them is bizarre and will involve a lot of scripting, and the other is kind of a creepy action horror thing.
Both are very vivid memories which is odd because though I dream a lot, I rarely remember the whole thing. I feel these 2 could be interesting gameplay wise and are the only 2 that are possible for me to make (I've had some truly weird ones :rly: )
I'll try and find a way to tie the 2 together.

Srry guys for hijacking thread!
I'm going to go back to it now:
I'm mapping a sequence of gunman right now, several of the gunman models work for hl so I'm in luck! Gonna do it in mod format.

Gonna do it in mod format."Your entry must NOT be in mod format." Read the rules.
Mini-mod is accpetable though, for gldsrc. Obviously.

Skals, you probably shouldn't use content from Gunman since it is a retail game. Even if Gunman was a free mod, you can't just take its content and use it in your own map/mod. This is simply stealing.
Posted 14 years ago2010-06-28 17:23:19 UTC
Post #282451
Gunman has a published .fgd that probably runs with hammer. We can map for it right, what's wrong with mapping for it... in hl.
Posted 14 years ago2010-06-28 17:37:20 UTC
Post #282453
Because you'd be releasing Gunman content to people who did not own the game. Besides, the entities in the fgd wouldn't work without copying over Gunman's code.

^ no, most of the monsters work well in game. I got the scorpion model to work very well with monster_zombie, the rustbit works with agrunt and shoots hornets from its arms like it should, and I got those tube thingies to work as houndeyes. Aligator also works.
I want to know if this is allowed for the comp though?

Of course, you're not allowed to steal content. Entries in previous competitions have been disqualified for using content without permission.
