just postin to say hi to everyone!! i just finished my FIRST map and i'll be posting it soon, but if ya like you can stop by at me site <www.freewebs.com/hlmaps> and look at my amazing HTML coding

word. welcome to twhl. first rule: dont do anything mop says. mop = Tosser (by mean "dont do what he says" i mean "dont click any link he gives you!") other than that, have fun.

'ello.

sup.

listen to mini, m0p is bad news...

hello

Don't post your first map.

Hi, have fun.

Also while im at it, make each brush seperately, it will save you work in the long run.

I think that should be emblazened across TWHL.

G_KID, he said hes new, he didnt say he was a complete dumbass, pardon my french if you're a religious man.

xXTiDALESTXx: WELKAM TO GEORGE HUSE!

Welcome to TWHL! It's always nice to see a new person around.

(P.S. Watch out for ZombieLoffe)

Welcome!

What's wrong with Master of Puppets? Ive never seen him do anything wrong.

Er... if you joined IRC every once in a while you would see whats wrong with m0p.... :

i wont post my first map then but ill put it on my site, i think its pretty good first map, shit explodes and stuff, and i like teh lighting, now i'm working on a DM level in an alley of sorts....

Hello, and welcome to the wonderful, wonderful world of TWHL.

Theres no real advice on behavior you can give other than dont be an idiot. If you're not an idiot, you'll suss out the etiquette in here quite quickly. Dont be afraid to ask anything your not sure about (but ALWAYS search the tutorials and entities sections for an answer first, thats the difference between a beginner and a lazy beginner.) And as ppl have said, dont post your first map. (I'm here months and i still havent posted any work!)

This advice will be lost on idiotic ppl, since they just disregard every bit of advice given.
But at least you introduced yourself a bit before barging headfirst into the forums, which puts you on my good books . Have fun, join IRC chat, and as you get better at mapping, help others.

Ignore Idiots (you'll spot them by reading posts in forums quickly enough). Its impossible to win by engaging with one, they just drag you down to their level.

And don't forget about the sun-screen

Welcome to TWHL!

Hi, Hope you have a good time

Hehe, i have been here 300+ days and i have only just this month submited a map and that was only a example map.

btw, IRC is a good place to go for help rather than the forums. your mistakes are imprinted forever on the forums, while on IRC they just go in the logs, which are only read to make sure mop and zl dont post any old man porn links.

Mop, and ZombieLoffe insane. Stay away from them. Welcome btw.

Actually, you'd better stay away from me as well

I'm not insane, i'm just as normal as sherlock sheep.

While visiting the jail showers, don't drop your soap.

Lol jaardsi.

dont listen to people who have been here for a year or so and have made no maps worth looking at

Any one with a brain can tell that is aimed at me.

be aware that oftentimes the people with the most to say, shouldn't neccesarily be listened to.

Look at how much you wrote though.

well maybe i'll put my map in the unfinished section, so you guys can give me some advice, what do you think? i know i'm not supposed to post my first map, but some feedback would, ahem "be beneficial to furthering my knowledge of the fine art of mapping for Half-Life" </ahem>

Sure.
Just don't get annoyed, hurt, emotinal, bitchy etc. like floater when no-one liked his map.
Im just warning you that even though you think a map is great it may not be.

You know, it would be nice in a thread introducing a new member, for people not to post without pulling ongoing arguements into it for no reason. Sly digs at people, which i noted from that 'anon' post aimed at me and my ilk. (Yes im a wannabe mapper, thats why im LEARNING to map, as opposed to working on the next half life professionaly.) And its also a bit lame (good advice or no) directly telling someone in a public forum to shun other members when he/she has only arrived.

A bit of civility, we have guests

Hehe.

By the way, use the search bar in the top right corner it will save you alot of time.

Monkey T> Hello Comrade Welcome to TWHL. Please Enjoy your stay.

WeAsEl Co > This isnt a Hotel Monkey T.

Monkey T > Oh Well.

Hehe.

Welcome to TWHL!!!

Read the tutorial about posting here on TWHL before you do anything. I believe it is written by seventh (Seventh Monkey).

my advice to you:

1: Only put your best work in the completed section of the map vault.

2: Do not spam.

3: Do not insult anyone. It never gets anywhere good.

4: When you have a mapping question, use the search toolbar in the upper-right hand area. First, check the tutorials. Then, check the example maps. Then, check the forums. If you have still not found it, its safe to post in the general mapping questions area.

5: Map.

6: Have fun

BTW, I'm just one of the regular members here, no-one special.

I AM!! HAHAHHHAHAHAHH!!!!!1

I'm just a regular too, albeit a bit mad. Mop and ZL are alright, really. They just go a bit nuts on IRC sometimes, but so do I.

BTW, nice new av Vassy, funny.

How do we know that you have improved if you post no maps?

ARR, SHIVER ME TIMBERS! HOW MANY WELCOMES IS THIS BOY GONNA BE GETTIN'? I HADN'T BEEN SAYIN' IT YET SO WELCOME ME BOY! ARR! NOW WALK OFF INTO THE DREADED WATERS OF THE PIRATES GRAVE ARRRRRRR..............

Umm... lets not scare off our new member now coolfat...

I only got a welcome from kol when I joined. Oh how long ago that was... brings back memories [tear

Have good cry BL

Welcome...
I don't have anything to add to the sage advice already posted.
Feel free to post what you want (within reason).
After all, the worst you could do is probably better than the best some of the people here seem to think is talented mapping.

Wow, I thought that BL had been here longer than me.
I just checked his profile.

Generic Hi

Thats an idea...just change where it says xXTiDALESTXx to "GENERIC NEW MEMBER" and point them here in future

btw can we post pics directly in the forums or do you have to link to them, or was that a really stupid question?

You now have to link to images due to abuse.

arr........
