I disagree. You can edit/trash your own posts at GameBanana, and it's much better imo.
There's a public activity log that minimizes the fuckery, although GB has a McLarge-Huge MOD staff, so...
I think thread authors should have edit powers over their own threads, at the least. (Although it is fun PM'ing Penguinboy) ;P

Maybe a limited edit mode where you could only edit certain aspects of the post (placement of tags, line returns) could work. Probably more trouble to implement than it's worth though, and fairly easy to abuse in its own right.

Person number one posts: Anyone want to see screens of my new map.
Person number two posts: I'll bite.
Person number one goes back and edits first post saying: I'm having a rainbow party, anyone want to join?

It wouldn't make any sense to do that on GB, because there's a log of everything you do; it keeps things pretty transparent(having a public log is key to avoiding the fuckery)

TWHL as it is right now is nothing to broadly moan about. Sure, some things could do with being updated but even then, he installed a new version of software the other day. All in all, we don't need TWHL4 and it isn't anyone right to demand it.
@rufee
There is no need to be quite so toxic about it though, rufee. He has other projects that I'm pretty sure you're using.

Then it should be switched to an open-source model for a select few TWHL members who are able and willing to code a better platform for the community.
There certainly is stuff to be improved, and the only major modifications I've seen on TWHL since 2008 are the way new posts are displayed on the front paged and the increased PM inbox limit.
This shouldn't be taken as an obligation, but as willingness to improve :).

Presumably PB and his ilk did what is here now as a labor of love. We should all take a moment to appreciate that we're allowed to share in the result.

And the makers, from atom to today.

This thing was supposed to be similar to the future scene from Terminator 1. Dumped GS altogether late last year and went with UE4. Now i'm back with Sledge and i don't know where i'm going with this anymore...Very WIP:

It was supposed to be a zombie mod map for cs 1.6, but i no longer play that. Right now it's turning into a dm map...I think...I've found some nice reference photos(http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=42019) for a sewer system. As soon as i'm done with that, i guess ill call it a map.

So Zeeba-G and I's secret project has been a little flat lately. Our idea was an underwater castle, like the ones you see in fish bowls. Don't worry, there's no actual swimming involved. We started really strong then we ran out of free time. Sledge has been a massive help but I was disappointed when the OBJ importing wasn't working reliably. It would have made some killer terrain that we need to do.
The orange dev textured parts are all sorted for terrain manip as soon as I finish the rest of the underparts. I may pass that to Zeeba to do if he has time. The interior parts are unshown due to little or no lighting. Have to leave something to the imagination.
We still plan to finish this monster at some point. For now I supposed a little show of our efforts would be good.

Hey Rim, have you tested the latest Sledge? I fixed some issues with the OBJ importer and I'm curious to know if it helped at all.
Those screens look really nice, btw, but it's hard to get the impression that it's underwater aside from the couple of animals swimming around. Maybe add some effects (e.g. bubbles, floating particles, etc) to make it more obvious?

I have a short list of things to add that isn't vital map construction.
Kelp, bubbles, fish, more kelp...
I got the update to sledge and it looks like the OBJs import well. I will have to see how it stands up when I insert some things into the map.

Im a fool for blue, those screenies caught my attention immediately. Looking really atmospheric, can't wait to see more of it.
Just wondering...Why do you want to import terrain mesh .obj into sledge? As long as you work with tetrahedra, sledge can do anything a modelling program can.

A modeling software has a number of sculpting and soft-selection tools that sledge doesn't. It's usefull when dealing with smooth or organic geometry.

Post #320035
Yeah... I got the cave parts in using the new sledge but it gave me ambiguous leafnode content errors. I ran a bunch of tests and it does it with everything I've imported. I don't know what causes them or what makes the map work with the errors. Sometimes it works and other times not. I think Sledge completely bones HLFix because it errors and stops the compile.

Looks pretty good. I like the lighting coming from below. It's a shame we can't use the cave I did, it compiles for me with zhlt.
Posted 10 years ago2014-06-29 01:25:23 UTC
Post #320037
@Zeebro-G: That's another mystery. It compiles fine for you but not for me. I have more up-to-date tools and I would've never thought that it would be a problem. I can't seem to crack the problem of some illegal geometry in the caves that you made either. HLFix still says nope since I updated Hammer, and I have no luck with that either.
Remember when mapping was fun and simple?

Kachito: LOVE the Terminator vibe! Some HKs hovering overhead with searchlights aiming down, and a couple Ogre Tanks crushing over human skulls would fit right in!
Rimr'bra-G: Oh shi didn't know you guys were doing this, it looks wonderful so far doe! The effect of the light filtering through the water looks hott, and the cave system looks sexor fellas
Rim: Get HLFix working if you haven't yet, because it's really essential if you are going to do anything off the grid(unless of course you are breaking every single thing into "triangles")..
I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot it over steam or even run your final compiles with HLFix, if you needed it. Of course, if you can import your meshes from max, then maybe you could get along without it

That off-kilter arched roof really sits well with me, Jeff. I like it a lot - simple and understated, but adding so much. It'd benefit from some nice custom fitting textures to really sell the shape.
Second one is a bit too WIP to comment on, but I'm sure it'll turn into something awesome :>

Once I figure out how to make some good looking plants for it. 
It didn't really occur to me to make custom textures for the roof in the first shot, probably because I'm not much of a texture artist, but now that you've mentioned it, I think I'll look into it. Thanks!

Indeed. I know how much you just love zombie mods, Urby! Well, of a certain definition.

And made a...well, rather bad texture.

Do you actually need multiple players to play and finish missions in svencoop nowadays? Imma give this a whirl later, if it's solo-able.
