Hey fellas. I'm at a party right now. I just wanna let you know; because i'm extremely inebriated right now, that you guys, especially zeeba, rimrook, hlhotdog and strider, in particular, have been so much of an inspiration to me.
That's all.

Dropped back in to see how it was all going. Seems like things are good in TWHL land.
So I guess ordering from ebay is sometimes to one's advantage...
I recently (last week Sunday) purchased some Euro Altezza Tail Lights for my 98 Grand Prix, got them today.
Shipping was expensive, $40 USD, but they were brand new and with shipping still cost much less than I would've gotten them anywhere else.
Another reliable source I found that sells cheap auto parts is NewEggMall.com just in case anyone else wanted to take a look.
If anyone wants, I'll post pictures later.

My "Map a puzzle" entry is going to be a nice temple like dungeon, with a few open areas and lots of traps. i already have one .bsp ready and im working on the second one. I hope i go the definition of "Map a puzzle" right, what i did is mapped a temple full of moving walls, flying blocks etc. i hope thats what i was ment to do.
I would post some screenshots too, but right now, my steam is ultra retarded... it wont lauch, so ill have to get some WIP screenies later.

I've had 2 great ideas for CSS fun maps, but I can't make them because Valve don't want to make correct things.
First, why didn't they put the vehicle/buggy code into CSS to allow custom mappers to have a lot more of possibilities?
2nd, why can't you see yourself on 3rd view?.
I wanted to make mario kart race maps controlling Gman into the buggy, father Grigori into a driveable bath, Gordon Freeman riding a Combine Advisor, etc etc. And I can't because physics mess up the vehicles.
And as a secondary idea, I've had the idea of making LittleBigPlanet cooperation maps, but when I set the point_viewcontrol camera I can't see myself.
Any fix? I think no.

I miss those fun wacky mods from HL1 in the source modding community. Nowadays the standards to create a mod are set too high. The 'fun' aspect of modding seems gone in source; so many source mods die - simply because they want to release their mod like it's a commercial game. This sorta resulted in gamers aspecting this aswell. Luckyly i'm always searching for new mods and came across a new mod from one of my fav. developers Brendon Chung;

Yes, fileplanet.. I know I know, but it's worth it. It's a really small (done in ~10 min) and random mod, but totally awesome anyway. You have to play it.

YAY! A new competition has come to TWHL. I can say that the time it took for this compo to arise was way shorter than usual. To be honest i expected another month before i could start mapping for a compo again.
Anyway.
If anyone was paying attention to me before when i said i was done with goldsource after the remake a game compo, good for you, because i lied.
This compo will be goldsource as well.
I'm afraid to move to source
my computer doesn't like it and the entities give me headcaeks.
Oh and i finally figured out why my maps aren't really amazing. (They're good i guess) But i don't spend the extra hours at the end of the mapping process to really polish the map with detail and lighting. So i hope i can do that with this compo.
Even if it's a mind-fuck-map i still want it to look pretty.

Well, us Aussies finally get to see Wall-E and it is absolutely brilliant. Pixar actually bested my favourite 3D animated film of all time, The Incredibles.
I love this scene! Bravo, Pixar.
My computer practicaly exploded because of a short circuit + surge, 6 days of no gaming have taken a toll on me. motherboard incoming via, and writing on a mac. wish me luck in the upcoming no pc days
Learning about geometry, which is important for mapping: video
