*** I will be making my first piece of help (w/e it may be - prolly more textures or maybe I'll make a vehicle) tommarow when I get home.
When half-life 2 comes out you will be able to 
course thats not to say I don't like counter-strike lol
If mod making was about cash then everyone would be making one. Well why should gamespy pay u for you to use their services? It really should be the other way around IMO.
This seems like a good place to say that I don't see why counter-strike is so extrodinary. Yes the model's and things are good looking but it really doesn't show much more than that. The only coding was for some new guns, and possibly the team / player selection.

Well I wasn't really refering to this mod, I shold have complained somewhere else 
Really? It must look better on Halo then it does on Half-Life. I saw ur aim and thought it was just something randomly entered lol... Well I can have many area's of helpfulness so hopefully I can fit in somewhere.
Designing this can be a problem because of how big it is and how everythiing need's to fit together. Hey floater, can you make an page kinda where you can post up screenies of the map (the actual one) so that we all have something to work with, whatever were doing

Now thinking as an expierenced mapper I would say thats impossible for the HL engine. But thinking of it as a fun idea I say lets go right on ahead and make it 
.
I'll help where I can. Also blood gulch is a tough map to do that in because like half of the point in it is the vehicles. that grass texture won't do it looks stretched, and too real. I know that sounds dumb but I have tried grass textures like that in games and it just is to real, like your looking at a photograph. As soon as I get home (in two days) I will start making you some good textures . Can we use aim to talk possibly?
The idea's I have involve using the textures used in the actual blood gultch - for that superb realism :

I HOPE THAT STEAM BURN'S IN HELL!
No seriously if there are ton's of building pre-fabs then HL2 noob maps are going to be so "photocopied".
Yeah thats a preety bad mix up, so seventh wut % done with it are u?
Thats awsome, they make tons of building pre-fabs??? But wow, it is going to be kinda lame considering every single map will have thousands of buildings in it. I can see exactly what noob maps are going to look like already. And I still fully agree that are mod is going to be good. I might even attempt at modeling in hl2 considering the SDK comes with a free modeling program --- but of course, we need to make it a kinda destroyed city and I don't know if they have alot of that type stuff even though they are going for the same type thing.
--- but of course, we need to make it a kinda destroyed city and I don't know if they have alot of that type stuff even though they are going for the same type thing.I think that the problem is that people don't see the pages after the first... Well that was just me anyone but I did look at the rules once i figured out where they were lol
Just use the clipping tool and cut it into 4, its only a square so... U might get the desired effect by messing around with the alignment/size of the texture (all avalible using SHIFT+A)
OK, can anyone answer me this. Somehow I managed to make 2 steam accounts, I am using one primarily, but the other one has condition zero registered to it. Is there a way that I can take it off my games list or delete that account?
ahh thankyou
OK, I get how to do it basically where i just put the letter, space, texture name. What I wanted to do (too clear all this up)--- I have a bunch of .wav's and I have a bunch of textures, I wanted to use my new, completely customs sounds, as a sound for my completely custom textures. Not use half-lifes old, normal sounds for it.
ok well make a multi-manager entity and name it shield
2. take of smart edit in its properties by clicking on the button
3. add a thing and make the name whatever the func_wall_toggle is
4. make the value how many seconds u want it solid for
5. add another thing name shield (the name of your multimanager)
6. make the value of it .0001
7. make a trigger_auto somewhere with the target being shield(name of multi_manager)
That should turn the shield on after 10 seconds into the map, then its on for 10 seconds, then off for 10 seconds, then on for 10 - and so on.
If anyone disagree's with how I did it or if its wrong plz speak up

If you made it timed then you would have to use a multi-manager, if you don't know how to use those plz post.
I really wish I would have know that before I spent 2 hours getting those sounds... lol
Yes I have sounds and I wanted to use them as a meterial... Really that needs coding?
OK, I know all about the materials.txt from the tutorial but they didn't go into adding your own custom sounds from it, can some1 please tell me how to do that?
You know what, I have been thinking more and more about that story as I looked at mine, and I must say, that was a really really good story. It had an effective way to get a scary mood across. You did a very good job and I really hope to see more from you.
From now on I will write it in word, looks like coolfats worked out well.
Well, I must have started a trend cuz within the next few minutes 2 other people posted a story. No it wasn't a true story, but lets just say the setting was right for something like that to happen, its preety much me in the story but its not real. Over the next couple nights I am going to try and work on a better sequel to this.
Yes just like mine when u copy and paste from notepad it gets screwed up, thats why I was complaining about formating. Well, your story is ok, but kinda like mapping its missing details. Everythin happened kinda fast and was hard to understand.
Well I shouldn't say its impossible, because it is. Just not for a 12 year old, my guess of whats floaters buddy's age.
Really good story, I didn't find any typo's or care, afterall I am no teacher or parent. Reading that really blows my story away.
lol wow i got all of these like 5 minutes after I posted. Well the point was to leave questions and if people liked it I was going to make a longer, better sequal. I just wanted to see how people would react to it first. Coolfat, where is urs?
Well I know most people won't even bother reading this but its a story I wrote and I wanted to know if anyone liked it. Grammer is probably terrible and I don't know about spelling. Formatting is screwed up because I copied it from notepad.

dropping, beating my roof down. Faster and faster, until I heard a boom, which caused my house to shake. All of a sudden everything was flashing, boom, flash, boom, more flash's. Then it all stopped, nothing left accept for a slight "pitter patter" of rain against my roof.
[b]The Freak Effect : Davideo59
I was all alone in my house at night. For the first time I had been left alone so that my parents could go to a wedding that was a state away for one day. I was getting tired around eleven at night for some reason, normally I would be staying up late, playing some game on my computer. The air conditioning was humming busily, cooling off my house. The TV was on but I wasn't paying attention to it.
I almost fell over and had a heart attack when the TV started to beep because of an emergency weather alert. My dog, Misty, came up stairs when she heard me shout at the noise of the TV. Well I had had about enefough of that so I just turned off the TV.
My exaustion finally took over me, and I just closed everything that I was doing on my computer. I took my contact's out, turned on my lamp and turned off the room light. Misty layed down at the end of my bed facing the window and put her head down knowing I was about to go to sleep.
I closed my eyes forgeting to turn off my desk lamp. Dreams clouded my mind as a slept. I started off in my imaginary first day of high school, and ended up in some movie I saw two weeks ago. Around three in the morning I woke up, according to my watch, the cause I thought to be a bad dream. At first I lied awake for a while, looking at the pillow on the other side of my bed.
All was silent, not a noise in my house. I was very tired yet very awake, my senses at their fullest. All the lights in the house were dark, sleeping.dropping, beating my roof down. Faster and faster, until I heard a boom, which caused my house to shake. All of a sudden everything was flashing, boom, flash, boom, more flash's. Then it all stopped, nothing left accept for a slight "pitter patter" of rain against my roof.
Misty's head shot up, frozen, looking at my window. Everything was dark, I could not see anything out there. My heart froze, a single flash of lightning revealed a figure outside my window, watching. My dog sat there looking out that window for another few seconds, it seemed like hours. Finally her head went down and she fell back to sleep. I was more awake now, I began to think about things, what happened and such.
I never turned my light off, and I didn't lose power. The clock on my alarm clock was still on, it shouldn't be. There should be the noise of an air conditioner, there isn't. Soon the rain stopped, and I glanced at my watch again, 3:00 am.
Sleepyness took over me, and I feel asleep once again, when I woke up it was 8:00 am. My light was on in my room, and the air conditioner was onceI went to the grass and felt it, nothing, the dirt was so dry there were cracks in it. Finally I looked up at the tree that my window looked out at. There was nothing. Deciding there was nothing, I started walking in. Out of the ... To be continued ... [/b]When HL2 comes out I will make a city section or something (not sure yet) and post it/screen's so that maybe you will use it for the mod.
uh did you even read me descouraging post?
I don wanna sound like a certain some1 but that looks terrible, its 2 textures and real crappy lighting. It might just be the quality of the pic though.
Well, prefabs have alot to do with mapping... 
OMG, are you trying to bust half life? There should be police for this. Steam is gonna crash if this is put on a server! J/K - but yeah its too big I guess.
U know what would be scarry if there was another zebba-g with the same icon as u.
guhzoontight, watayacallit? and of course seventh knows what that is doesn't he... I think it depends on the provider. I dont understand it, but mine changes every once every month and sometime switchs back n' stuff like that, its complicated.
lol I like it if people reply to my posts cuz at least I know people have seen it and sometimes people give good suggestions.
No one likes him, and hes just mean to put it plainly. I think that his name just says his attitude. Although when he was here he posted and rated maps, he didn't say one thing about himself in his profile. He never wanted to be a community member he just wanted to say bad things about peoples map (no matter how honest it was).
Well yes I got a lil' confused with wut u said but I do think TWHL should have a prefab section.
You people actually believe that his friend was holding up a refrigerator and then just let it go on him? A refrigerator is like impossible to lift even for a body builder or some1 really strong. Yall must be completely innocent and 2 years old to believe that considering that his friend is maybe like 12... (I don't know how old u are, so sorry if I am wrong with the age)
Well, you might need to make the glass less thick, if you make it real skinny you can shoot through it. BTW if you don't want it to break just use a func_wall fx_ ammount 100 and reder mode texture.
No, I say u should teleport it somewhere else, and then have func_wall_toggle pieces of it around where it fell. Arent half lifes physic's sad? You break a plank with something other than the player on it and it doesn't fall?
in my cs fgd there is an fgd. just for a little info, the hostage entity was based off of monster_scientist so it might be possible, I would try it :
i could see the bird not the gman.

lol monkey I cant agree more
I'm sure some of our members would overthrow (minor) governments for money
make a dhost.info account and download an ftp program from download.com - and then just follow website instructions nad upload a picture. then you can do [img*] http://www.dhost.info/uraccountname/nameofpic.jpg [/img*]
I think thats the correct format (WITHOUT THE *'s)
and it has to be a .jpg im assuming.

Well, I don't think we should allow people we have never heard of before (e.g. red, stusaysyo, rileymo), but start spamming in the shoutbox that we are going to permanently close it just incase people want to join it.
Whats your hl clan, gimme a website
You shouldn't start making a halflife2 mod until halflife2 comes out. Coding, modeling, and textures are all going to be different with it. Not the same code, they are using sorce and I am sure its different, they give you a new modeling program - I don't know much about that though, and textures are going to be in a new format and better looking. They no longer will have to be divisable by 16 (then it will be 2) and are much higher quality.

Well I think that our mods do a great job but instead of deleting an entire forum topic they should just delet the flaming posts. Like the I've Got an Idea one, we lost all of our lists like that....
