http://www.cariad.co.za/twhl/mapvault_map.php?id=765 my new deathmatch map for hl. a nice snow.winter theme 
Okay. I played with it. The fact is, even after fiddling with the hint brushes, trying to simplify the model and compiling my arse off I have to face the truth. The fancy carriage has to go. The map comes first and as it's a CS map speed is everything. Bye bye carriage. (Maybe one day on the HL2 engine...)
It'd funny that the thing that probably originally inspired the map now has to go. The good thing is that without it, r_speeds are now at acceptible levels on pretty much most of the map.
I'll keep a copy of the 'fancy' map for private LAN play as it's fun breaking all the widows and stuff and trying to lock each other in the carriage and other silly stuff.

Well, I've spent a fair bit of time on de_tube this week. Mostly getting to grips with hint brushes. Think I can't be far from a 'releasable' map.

Phew I can map this weekend! Luckily my h/w is minimal so I can work on twhlmix! Too many, er, distractions as well as school work...

Ah, I feel little angels and Alien controllers fluttering in the air and gently chirping, for I, my friends, am in love! The girl's name is Anhelica (pretty cool, huh) and she is the only female being of this species (homo sapiens) that actually gives a crap about Half-Life. When I started talking to her, she said: "I'm probably the only one who actually chases scientists around with a crowbar and makes them scream like little Japanese schoolgirls." That was exactly the feeling I had ever since I cracked my first scientist skull. When I heard that phrase, I was, like, "Will you marry me?" And she was, like, "Lemme think about it..." So now I am overflowed with emotion, and, since my computer is fixed, I shall map cruel and/or unusual punishments for Walter & Company. Ahhhh faints 
The only two bugs are okay now I hop?
Must stop to test play Timefall I don't like to be a perfectionist, but I only have do to!
It's only myself to se the small defects in textur and only myself notis if a function go the wrong way, I hope?
I hope I can start to pak all together in a pak.pak file to day.
And........we se??

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME:)!!!!
Feb 17, 2004. Just started out learning about the Hammer editor because I want to create maps and make machinima. Half Life is the only editor that works perfectly in my system; I like the game very much; there's a huge support community - so here I go. Will start with basic concepts and tutorials, ask a lot of questions and see what I can create! Wow! Did you hear that? Sounded like an old Russian MIG jet! These journals are something, boy.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
Stupid armour_entities are driving me crazy!!

I posted rc_pop.bsp and took it down the same day. The game play is good but the textures were pretty blah, so ZombieLoffe offered to re-texure it. Hooray!
