^ I like that idea Rim :)

Winner has the option to pick the next minicompo idea, BUT it must be approved by Rimrook and Atom. Perhaps also give winner the option to guest judge, which could give R'Atom a chance to compete if they wanted to?

Urby beat me by 40 seconds on the training course, fuck me if i even find that hard.. I don't think I've got EVEN ONE kill yet on Panj yet versus AI! SHIT IS ROUGH
Since i'm really new to the game, whatever map i would make will probably have terrible gameplay.
Yeah, I hear ya... :(

That sounds like it would be fun zeeba! :biggrin:
If just the exact same entry I just looked at, that would be disappointing.
I will try to finish it off properly and make you proud Rim!

I'm having a lot of fun with this, even though my entry isn't so great.. Another thing I'm enjoying about this one is there is ZERO texture alignment, so off-grid stuff has never been easier skin :)

Also, GIF makers are fun!

So I'm finally starting to play this, and I must say, it's pretty-damn cool so far! :P

I bought this because I wanted to map for the GameBanana Insurgency Contest, but I must say now I'm intrigued to play a FPS game with now crosshair, radar overview, nor kill notifications!

Considering the only shooter game I play really is CS, I'm finding the extra controls a little intimidating, but I'm slowly adjusting! Another thing I must say is this game is HARD and the maps are gigantic :o

I LOVE that it only takes a couple shots to kill, compared to CS where unless you get headshots, prepare to use half your clip.. It's also nice having a sprint and prone button again!(last game I played that had that was DoD:S!)

The weight system and many of the other features(that I'm still getting aquainted with), make for MUCH REALISM, and I'm really enjoying it! Incredible work, especially for a 3rd-party mod! :P

What do you guys think of the game so far, and is anyone mapping for the contest?

It's not about blaming anyone, it's about keeping people's attention.

If there's only a couple weeks, anyone intersted in the minicompo will get started right away. If you KNOW you have an entire month, more than likely it will get put off, and/or forgotten, or replaced by another task.. [/2 cents]

Lajron and I agree that you gave us too much time for this one Rimmeh-Atom! I heartily recommend no more than a fortnight or a bit more for the next one :)

Mine will easily be done with time to spare, and I've only worked on it a few half days max... 11 days left people, that's still PLENTY of time to build/refine your entry!

Ok then. I would disagree with your second point though, as my current minicompo map isn't even possible in GS, and I'm not using any Source-specific entities or 3D Skybox so far.

In GS, you make anything too big or too complicated it just gives up, spitting out the AllocBlock:full error when you try loading BSP ;)

Question
Is anyone dropping out because of the gulf of capabilities/resources between GS/Source engines? If yes, maybe we should consider switching this back to HL1 only?

I would be willing to switch my entry back to gs if that's the case, and we could add an extra week if anyone needed more time..

It just seems like a lot of people lost interest after we included Source?

I agree Kachito :)

The reds/oranges/yellows/magentas look way too Looney Tunes for the theme. So many ideas for color variation, so little time. Btw rebuilding the ship, but I think I need to start over again and make it less round ;)

I was thinking more of a unofficial plug to the minicompo, so peeps at GB could decide to join if they wanted, but that's neat to know they would possibly allow us to host/sponsor an official compo there someday? :o

Maybe consider writing a quick tutorial for others that want to get into blender? I know there are a lot out there already, but it's different when it's written from a HL mapper's perspective ;)

Are you modeling for any particular game btw?

I think it's freeform Rim, he just has to redo the links and headings, because GB doesn't accept our bbcode.

Some progress last night

The weird rainbow sky is done by using giant rotating cylinders, 4 length-wise and 2 crossways on each end, with the rotation such that the left/right/up/down all rotate into each other.

This creates a quite interesting Warp-Speed effect, and acts as a nice backdrop for the spaceship, tho I will probably limit the palette to blues and purples. Hopefully, the ship will turn out good enough to offset the gimmicky background :)

Hi, this is CapT, just wondering info if you think it would be a good idea to pimp a thread about the minicompo on GB? Rim seemed cool with it, but I would double-check with he and Atom before plugging it ;)

And people were so doubtful even though this sort of thing happens every time
This minicompo is not dead by a long shot, if that's what you mean ;)

There are far more impressive WIP posted for this one already than the previous minicompo, so if anything I would guess we'll have a better turnout this time, and don't forget dem prizes doe! (including yours if you enter, I'm guessing 7-8 entries minimum)

The only thing I would say for the future is to keep the time period short, a fortnight or a little more MAX, to help keep everyone focused :)

Atom
If you want, maybe we can ask the GoldSource Engine Ambassador at GameBanana to advertise this, since there is plenty of time left?(unless you want to keep it strictly a TWHL thingie)

Indeed. When AVG got too annoying to use anymore, I switched to MSE for a short while, but didn't like it any better...

Thanks for the updated materials Rimrook, tested and it works perfectly!! :biggrin:

Note
Source mappers make sure you rename the diretory of the materials to "colors", so it matches the VMT! I did the same thing Rimmeh, didn't even realize it! :P

Kachito, make sure you're not skipping RAD, else like Rim said, it'll laaag (As Alberto suggested, maybe try increasing the texture scale to hurry RAD up) ;)

Btw, if anyone figures out how to properly fullbright the map in source, please share :)

Yikes Idk!

Only think I can think of is it has something to do with the grid? Does the jumping around happen if you are holding down ALT to disable snapping?

Otherwise have no idea! That other error you mentioned sounds like an old Sledge issue unless I'm mistaken, so make sure you have the latest version! maybe Windows Firewall or UAC is cockblocking the updater somehow?

That aformentioned bug had nothing to do with the arches or the lighting, but could have been caused by using Hollow to build the skybox, OR having a really big skybox? (Will do more testing..)

I feel like I've used Hollow before in Sledge without any problems? Maybe not? I use hollow a lot in hammer 4 with never an issue afaik..

And to think I spent 3 hours yesterday trying to make and remake the Arch, and all along it was the fucking skybox! RAWWWWRRRRR! :P

I don't think the rule should be set in stone that the the winner chooses the next one; Atom and Rim have done a great job so far, why fuck with perfection? ;)

But whatever everyone else wants! Would the winner then help judge the next compo, or still participate as usual?

What batch compiler are you using that demands a .map? (Atom's can handle rmf/vmf, can't it?)

I learned today Sledge does not like 90-segment arches, so may be switching to source for my minicompo entry. It could be the problem that it's also rotating and is set to glow on additive, IDK still testing ;)

edit
Compiles fine with lights in the map, but with RAD disabled or using the -ambient 255 255 255 command parameter, I get the Allocblock full error on my map?
