ISSUES:
One may have a troubled past, the future lies ahead.
As Freeman travels journeys, old issues block his path. Who will find the missing doctor? Who will discover themselves?
The questions are clear yet the answers are vague. The road of inter-dimensional travel is wrought with danger, the valleys steep and treacherous. Will you find the answers? Will you resolve your Issues?

Issues started out as the sequel to "Project Quantum Leap" but quickly evolved into something a bit different. Various people from the Half-Life community have worked on this project, both regulars and newcomers, and together we've once again created an incoherent map pack bound together by a strong plot.

It's unlike any other Half-Life mod. Will you be able to resolve all the Issues?
Run, Shoot, Jump, Think, Shoot, and love every minute of it.

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.
Head on over to http://collective.valve-erc.com/ and check out the News post for the 9th Feb.

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.
Visit this page:

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.
