2 HL1 maps and 1 HL2 map on the way... mayby i should do one 1st...
I have decided to start mapping for source but can`t decide what to make...It will be HL2 for sure.
a few people have asked why I have HL2 but don`t map for source.
reasons:
1)HL textures don`t fit my lab stye mapping(mayby when this black mesa source is done i`ll see if i can use theres)
2)2 many things i don`t understand- e.g logic_ ?
3)i don`t understand 90% of the animations.
4)info_nodes are to complex and hammer help doen`t give a list of what each setting does.
5)Aliens no longer pop up from nowhere
6)dosn`t have many of my faveriot aliens- bull ckicken , that thing in oposing force that you get that blue electric gun thing. The one that shoots those flys at you. and so on.
7)too many textures. When you can`t find a fitting keyword for what you want (eg ,metal or wood) it takes forever to get from top to bottom of the list by which time i find i forget what I was looking for.(mayby theres a better way of doing it)
8)Hammer lists modle and prop textures!I DON`T WANT THEM!!!
i might map for Fortress Forever if it`s as good as TFC in 6 mounths or so.
if i can get a HL2 level texture pack from black mesa source i might make my HL1 maps in HL2 so i can do better things.

i wish tosse would finish the story befor takeing his weekend off...
for now i`m going to make useful things for my maps.
e.g
tank (there are only textures for one)
apc`s
a few player controled turrets (the rest of my ideas for turrets are complex and will need modling)
EDIT:Tanks are f***ing hard to make!

after 2 full days (adding up to about 26 hours) my HL subway train is done.
Now to find out why hlvis crashes every time i compile my map.
yes i gave it time (5 hours) and it just did nothing
-few hours later-no progress. Can`t find anything wrong with my map...
