That's fine. Make sure your custom WAD has a unique name so we dont get naming conflicts in our game folders.

Such a great idea is floating around in my head. But i've yet to begin because I have a cliffside observatory due monday, have to fix the brakes on my car, am trying to build a tree deck before the cold season and have other classes to pass along with work.
Well I have mapped my observatory and used some of the textures from the competition. It's a really nice map but the screen shots show the imperfections like blockish curves. I'm actually using screenshots edited through photoshop as part of a presentation of my project in school. Sadly it is time for me to begin focusing more on a highly graphical rendering program like 3ds max or something. I will never quit mapping with gold though unless it is replaced by a program that does the same and more. Well perhaps i'll begin poking more at source while i'm at it.
I want so badly to give hints to my idea but i'm not even sure i'll have time to do it. Sigh...

My map makes no sense, how do you combine futuristic with industrial with sand and mining? In theory it works, in practice who knows.

Fig. out a plan/theme. Do some sketches. Go from there.

spend less time sucking dick and more time thinking about your theme.

you should know better than that! my mother is not the most creative of people, how is supposed to come up with a cohesive theme?!
i love you dew.

My idea involves a ridicuolous amount of vertex manipulation. What the hell am I thinking... 
Here's a miniscule hint. The name is tcfc. It was an old style for me to come up with the name so early.

Just made the move from HL1 to EP2. I'm sick of not having advanced parenting and entity I/O's
Restarting entry.... NOW
also... how do i use new textures in source? Never done it before.. all i see is those damn checker boxes.

@Zeeba gee
I'm feeling your pain dude-man. Vertex manupollution FTW but my fingers and eyes are bleeding.
Shit always gives them Leaf saw errors and longer compile time (I know there are ways to avoid this but I'm lazy).

lucky you guys, I wish i even had time to map. Uninstalled tf2 that was a horrific waste of the time

Bad timing for the Source SDK to be on the fritz. Luckily, I can still progress on work through my EP2 mod. =]

The lack of any buttons in the texture pack is more than infuriating
Posted 13 years ago2011-10-15 16:16:56 UTC
Post #299984
Improvise. You know button's don't have to change textures, right?
Posted 13 years ago2011-10-15 21:01:02 UTC
Post #299988
There's absolutely nothing to improvise with though. There isn't any good lights that look basic enough to be the base of a button
Posted 13 years ago2011-10-15 23:30:18 UTC
Post #299990
use a lever... Or just build the button.

I don't know how but my desert complex theme somehow changed to a castle theme just now. Maybe cause I was listening to golden axe 2 theme music.

I'm going to assume goldsource and source will be judged seperately?
Posted 13 years ago2011-10-16 18:27:15 UTC
Post #300005
They've never been judged separately and they wont be this time either.

Actually they have skals. So to use origin texture I just use the hl texture?

Read the instructions:
Tool textures are fine, as they're obviously necessary

Correct me if i'm wrong but this community has become rude for the most part. Hard to try and please.

Just spent hours trying to make an arch out of triangles..
really not fun , but at least it allows pseudo-displacements GoldSrc

Instant Mix: Twister will convert a Source displacement VMF into a Goldsource MAP file. No guarantees on how well it actually works, though

So... I finally figured out what I want to do, and now the SDK is broken...at least most people can still open it, I can't even start the thing up :/
Broken Hammer is still broken...as such, it is now the longest running broken tool ever!

i just put in 4 hours of legit development into an EP2 map for the compo. Hammer is ANNOYING but by no means is it unusable.

I've been reading that some XP users can't get it working at all.
If Valve don't fix this anytime soon, I might look at extending the competition for a short while. Maybe let Source users get their entries in a few days later, we'll see. Depends on how long it takes Valve to pull their finger out.

Penguinboy: It's alright for now , i've already managed to make it all. Just a bit more of a painstaking process than using displacements.

Can we change the name of the textures? e.g: !C31_slimewater to scroll_C31_slimewater

Hey guys ! Ive been non-stop working on my submission, so I think Im in the lead ! Although Im new to this community and this is my first compo, i think Im on to something with this map... Anyways, go to this link :
http://steamcommunity.com/id/44644358585u85846
And go to the right side of the page where it says "view screenshots" and youll see the Gothic Cathedral ive been working on !
AND YES I KNOW THE TEXTURES ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE ONES SUPPLIED IN THE WAD FILE !!!
Well, lemme know what ya think
Yes, that sexy person in the photo is me from about 4 months ago

Why not. You guys can change the water to a scrolling texture if you want.

vrad.exe halts at 0% Cpu yet again. I can not blame anymore my steam installation, or perform a windows reinstall. I've already done this in the past and it was the same. After some point of complexity vrad or sometimes even vvis simply refuses to compile. Source was optimized from the start for outdoor maps( in opposition with goldsource), and my map isn't even messy at this point.
This is annoying and makes me stop wanting to participate in this competition and secret santa :(.
I'll see what I can do.
