The long-awaited TWHLmix has finally been completed and posted. Kudos to BrattyLord for starting it and hazardous! for finishing it, compiling it, and everyone else that mapped, for making it!

See the available Screenshots.
Download it from The Map Vault!
And check out the review at: SPmods

Well done guys.

Most of you have spotted the new HL2 forum.
I encourage all of you to make the most of it by placing all HL2 related questions there.

HL2 related is everything that requires Steam, Source or the new SDK.

So, "Wood in HL2" should really be in the HL2 Forum!
Our wonderful moderators do not have an easy way of moving topics. It is easier to delete them.

<span style="color: #FF0000">Happy New Year</span>
Thank you for supporting TWHL over the past years.
Just a few thoughts..
If possible, be kind to your fellow members.
Steam is not going to change so live with it.
Windoze is crap. We already know.. no need to tell us again.

The full HL? SDK has been released, as has an official HL?DM!

More info to follow, as the VERC is down at the moment.

Seems that one of our own TWHL members has won the recent compo over at RUST

Well Done RabidMonkey777.

Steam is dragging to a halt, but hey, who cares? :)

Davideo59 quite rightly pointed out, that you can get information about the attributes of the new entities in the Hammer 4 help file...
VERC will be presenting an Entity List in the future.

I just found out that HL2 Retail is available in Australia on the 17th and if it is anything like the launch of HL1, then the doors of the major stores will be open at midnight on the 16th...which is disappointing, as I thought those who had perservered with Steam might actually be able to play the game before everyone else...

Hammer 4 is awesome, tutorials are hitting the Major sites already discussing setup, use of custom textures, the Nodraw texture and mapping for source.

VERC have not posted the entity guide yet, which isn't surprising given the amount of properties and attributes they have....I cannot wait for the forum posts... it will be like it was 2 years ago.

1 Day's left for the TWHL Compo...
No entries yet so it is possible that any piece of rubbish might win?
1 weeks left for the machine compo at RUST, only one entry there... Want fame, then enter.

Hammer 4 (still sometimes internally referred to as Worldcraft) and its documentation have been released to people who have pre-loaded HL? and unlocked it over Steam. The documentation is also available for everyone else to peruse here!

Half-Life ? itself is to be released in about ten days.

My Steam tutorial and Peace and LOve's Equipping Weapons in CS tutorial have now both been released. Please let me know if you find any mistakes via the Contact Us link at the foot of every page.

Half-Life 2 in nineteen days!

Greg Coomer (VALVe) was recently asked "what are VALVe's priorities now that HL2 had gone gold, have you started work on HL3?..."

From Greg:
TF2 is definitely one of the next things on our plate. We're going to have a MOD expo here in Seattle, and spend some effort for a while getting the SDK in shape and working with the MOD community. Continuing support and content for CS:S is also high-priority. What's Half-Life 3?......

So.. anyone interested in TF2 ?

Two more tutorials are on their way, a Steam tutorial from myself (preview here) and one from Peace and LOve which I believe will be on Counter-Strike weapon equipping.

If you want to write a tutorial, you're more than welcome to. E-mail subjects you'd like to cover to Andy or I via our profiles or the Contact Us link at the footer of each page.

The Flame War's
It seems that Anonymous and Peace and LOve have taken their war into the shout box...
We all know that the Bigger man will let it go and stop responding...
Which one will it be?
<hr noshade color="black">
Congratulations are in order...
Anonymous and Peace and LOve Seem to have agreed to disagree and get on with business as usual.
Well done guy's, I am impressed.
Hopefully everyone will take note of the maturity that prevailed...and remember, if you ignore the Troll's, they will go away. :-)

Right, well I'm now Andy-level admin and can post tutorials, entities, news etc. Planning to add a few more links in the Entity Guide (references to tutorials, example maps). That's about it at th' moment really.

HL? is finally officially confirmed to be arriving soon, and there's a new competition.

All pretty good except the flame war of "Anonymous" vs Peace and LOve, who's failing to live up to his name somewhat.

Real World Construction is our latest compo... All you need to do is map something from the real world in the half-life world. Don't forget the photo unless it is a VERY recognisable landmark.
