Wow this mod sounds awesome. Just read this thread from begining to end and watched it evolve from an awesome HL map, to a decent sounding HL mod, to an incredibly eerie sounding HL2 mod!
Using a 3d skybox for the perimetre wall. That would be terrifying. Thinking back to how the Citadel dominated C17 but now it's dwarfed out by a bloody solid wall around this City?! ARGH!!!

Ah, I remember this kind of problem back in the days of WorldCraft 2.0. It was always a case of: "WHAT!? Oh man not again.I'll sort it out later."
I didn't of course. They all vanished into the packed out 'maps' folder never to be seen agian. Ah 'dm_snipers.' I remember you well.
I probably could make the map in HL2 but the idea seems boring now.

Tried taking some digital photos but they looked crap what with the tiling and all. Everything was wonky and tiled! GRRR!!! 
Here here.
Anyway. I asked my G/F what she wanted for xmas and she said "Oooh! Surpirse me."
So, on xmas morning when she woke up i yelled "BOO ya c*nt!"
Ah, Chubby Brown.

The ending rocks! HL3! HL3!
Sorry, I'll go again now.

I've found out why I'm having difficulty completing any maps!
Textures! The HL texture packs are dull and boring and i can't help thinking 'I have seen this. People don't want this crappy dullness!'
Can anyone suggest a place or person from where or whom I can get some cool new .wad files. I tried myself but... It's not worth mentioning. I can make signs and posters. That is all.
After looking at Jahzel's new map screens and I realised what the problem is. I don't want another lab or office! I'm sure you guys don't either!
Cheers.

Just a few simple questions.
How many of you guys are mapping for HL2?
Is it any better / easier than mapping for HL?
Have you got any screenies you can show off?

sorry 7th
I have tried several times to make a map but find myself loosing interest and dropping each one. What do you guys do for inspiration to keep going.
Monster_Generic. Model = Scigun.mdl
Use an MDLviewer (Jed's is the best) and browse the animation name for the gun. Make sure that the sci's animation and the gun's animation are set to idle animation and check the flag marked "No interruptions"
To make a scientist ponder over and over again try this.
(properties)
Name = pond1 (name of scripted sequence)

Whack RAD up to full detail. It helps a little but the compile times are unbearable. To get some good lighting effects set the light further back into the wall or ceiling to get a sort of silouette effect on the opposing surface. 
HL map. So yeah Hammer.
Ok guys i have a question.
Aside from the hammer (worldcraft back then) tutorials what as the first map you ever made on your own. I remember i made a scripted sequence level that i just kept adding and adding stuff too. Eventually there was so much stuff going on it crashed my (back then low-end) PC!

Cheers

I made a custom wad for my own decals. I created the image, made it greyscale, added it to wally and even put the blood red colour in the bottom right of the palette. Saved, spashed it onto a wall but i can't see it. GRRRR!
Please help.
Cheers. Urban.
Please help.

Also may i suggest trying to find somone to make some new models. The jDoom things are worse than the sprites.
Anon was me.
Andy: I have no modelling experience (or programs for that matter).
I just don't like the model. It's ugly.

I aint new. Anyway, i mostly use PSP6 for my textures but they always come out looking really cartoonish. How can i avoid this. 
I have just loaded up wally. Yay! I started a new texture. Fine and then suddenly! "BANG! Here's your greyscale palette Urban!"
All i have is greyscale. Where are the colour palettes?
Cheers,

It would be easier to record the sentances one at a time really wouldn't it. Ok cheers guys.
Is it in any way possible to have two scientists talking at the same time? I use custom sounds you see and i record the entire conversation for one guy and then the other in one file. please help.
Wow! Cheers. I kinda wish i didn't have to go to Greece now.
Only kidding. It's a holiday after all. Maybe a break from work / college is just what i need for inspiration. When i get back i have no college for 9 weeks. Good thing! I can rework this map and show you what i come up with.

It takes forever to post high quality images on my site. Well my forum. 
Ok so here are some updates of my beta room.
Spore room with vents and lights.
Another angle.
Security guard overlooking the room with a ventilation control console.

Yeah, it really is. We have a problem now though. No more updates for two weeks. ARGH!!! Still 2 weeks in Greece! Get in!
Another thing to add. This is just a beta map and is not connected to the actual levels that i have started creating. Infact it is called "beta.bsp!" I have created 5 rooms in this map so far. I am going to add more detail to all of them when i get back. They are basically non functional demo rooms that i use to get an idea on what to include later on in the game.

Ok here three some screenies of the starting level. Well my first room anyway. Don't want ot give too much away right?
This is the spore room. Yes thats right, spore room. Final release will explain everything.

A very safe Barney.
Thats all for now. This is the last night i have to work on this before my holiday so i'm really pushin myself. Let me know what you think of the screens and give plenty of feedback

Ok so i found 2 SD sci models but both of them have problems.
Number 1 is good and looks fine except the animations are all too fast and some don't even do anything. The second has no download link but its the one i want.
Anyone know of an SD scientist with fully functional animations which all work and aren't too fast?

Ok, I've played a few mods with introductions. I have go the hang of having a fixed camera look at / follow something but when it comes to getting the camera to move...well...let's just say "Oh the frustration."
Help me!?
Help me!?
Pistol whip would be better that that crappy secondary fire it has. Just add a little bit of crowbar coding. Don't ask me how but thats the effect you'd be looking for.
BTW, screens look cool. I'm inspired.

Ok. Might take a while to find it.
HIT. Yeah i searched. I got one now anyway.
NO i need SD
Ok now. Official news right here so listen up!:
Project X1 has been named. The mod is called "Unforeseen Gathering"
Story so far: You are Gordon Freeman. After a rather considerable raise from the G-man, Freeman is sent to a laboratory city deep underground known only as Neonite City. The city is inhabited only by the most experienced scientists and security personnel. Gordon has been tipped off by the G-man that the scientists in Neonite are preparing to engage a new rift generator. "A step forward in the world of space travel"...so they say.
Screenies very soon.

Actually i aint sure if thats the same one. I think to get the official pack you need BS's CD. Otherwise i think it comes with Sven Coop v3.0.
Argh! I don't know!

The compass needle should face the way you want the door to slide. The walls moving!? ARGH!!!
Maybe you just went a little overboard with the doors?

I am planning on making a short series of levels based in a city that has been constructed souly for scientific research. As i'm working on it i will post screenies of levels and skins here.
So far I'm considering making it a custom game file but for now its just a few ideas codenamed "Project X1"
I will add screenies soon so watch this space.

Ok. The sites are cool and all but they haven't been updated in while. Have they gone to pot? :
COOL!
Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot.
Ok, sorry if this is covered in the tuts but i wanna ask here rather than search for it (I'm in college )
Ok so i wanted to make a scene similar to that in HL. Barney doesn't let you through the door without your HEV. Good barney! Doing his job well. Shame about the death and stuff 15 minutes later.
Anyway, i want to make a similar scene in one of my levels but i can't get barney to deny access and then allow it next time he sees me (With hev)

Cool.
Cheers mate. Does one end of the texture need to be at the same level as the other? eg. If i wanted to send you a 256 x 1024 of some hills would the hill on the left need to line up with the hill on the right?

I don't know how many of you have played the PS2 version of HL but the models were so cool looking. Eyes and fingers and klieners see-through glasses! Wow. As mundane as that sounds i see it as a breakthrough.
Now, since then i have been searching the web for the PS2 models on PC. The Grunts and Otis in Sven Coop v3.0 were close (ie. Eyes and Fingers!) but none of the other models were. The HD pack with Blue-Shift did improve the models a little but not completley
If anyone has any info or links on PS2 HL models on PC please let me know.

Urban
