Bigger than.. well err, big things....
Stay tuned mappers and hold your breath.
Until you go blue and collapse that is.

There is a new Mod being put together and they are looking for team members:
Blaze Bolden is different!
Unlike many mods and conversions it is not looking to recreate a realistic war setting or copy the current futuristic style, instead it is attempting to DEVELOP the theme of the 1930?s and 40?s sci-fi movies and TV shows.

Loque presented a really well written tutorial on how he had used the Titles.txt in his Mod. I have stolen all the good information and rewritten it for use in any HL based map.
Check out Titles.txt.

ZTK Clan are holding a CS Defuse mapping compo. There is money involved ! Considering the amount of CS maps appearing in the Map Vault, I would be disappointed if this wasn't supported by our CS mappers.

Vassy has started a compo on his site: http://vassyhl.tk
IRC Bear is in need of help. So is the whole ChatBear system.
I know that some of you complain loudly about Marvin going missing and other stuff, but this really is a great product and it is only run by one person.

If you can help... Great.

Vassy sent yet another tutorial that shows you how to modify models. So if you are interested in doing a little Head Swaping or gun changing check out: Editing Half-Life Models.
Psychofly from www.violators.co.uk has been in touch to let me know that they are looking for custom CS map submissions to play/test/review on their server.
The idea is that they will make Thursday night a Test Night. Jan 22 is set down for the first Test Night. The maps that are tested will be open to review from those who played them.
This should appeal to some of you, as you have been asking where you could test your maps.... Get over to Violators and find out more.
If your map is given a standing ovation... it might be included in their map cycle.

A New tutorial added to the already successful Setting up a Mod, Part 3: Game Strings by Steinin and masterofpuppets.
