I may jump the gun and say - restart steam and it will update

Its already looking like GhostOps. (that's a good thing)

As long as its fun, it will get played.

I hope you all like Xen Skies.. because that's what you'll be getting after me
Err.. if you dowload and run suprSexxyLesbo.jpg.exe you deserve everything you get.
I'm not sure why this topic is going on and on about "you've no work done," "yes i do" "no i don't" "oh wait.."
You're all wasting valuable mapping time! Get to it! STAT!

Look for "Source SDK" in steam, and if you say that you can't see it - i'll eat your skin.
Condense, even?yes.. - bit late now though.
Tried posting without reading over
Andy, what do you mean, you're saying that people should actually DO SOMETHING, and SEARCH? ON THEIR OWN! Eegad man, you're insane!
i'd rather go http://steamingpileofshit.com

Ok.. there has to be a bug with something other than the game?
Otherwise.. something awful is going to happen.. like... crappy blue in game

it does, not directly "func_keypad" or anything... but it does have a lot of entity features that cut out a lot of the entitywork.

i'd like them back, for screenshots etc. But who will bother putting in thumbnails, and making the [img] nested in a [url] to a bigger image ? eh?
i think its better without them, but i still think it would be nice to have some pictures in posts - maybe just in the Maps & Mods forum? that way there's no excuse to post crap - because its already in the wrong forum.

What is the point with this topic?Heh - do you really want one?
If a Halo fan you should see, go to section Seven C of your "How to deal with unpersons doubleplusquick"
I'd bide my time and wait for steam to condence a bit - and then once its liquid, its HL? for me
Placing sky brushes is easy, since the shape and placement of sky brushes makes no difference, the sky is rendered a bit like a sprite - without wpoly cost. so you can just expand the walls and put a "roof" on.
Boy am i glad i'm five years behind the "cutting edge technology" that edge is sharp! Ouch!
Pity the img tags don't work :
Game looks very "Clean & neat" what with all the glowy parts that i hope are in game, and not added with photoshop for the screens

err.. i get scared away by huge entity setups. I can never understand why some work the way they do
Try to keep Source mapping questions in The HL2 Forum section, makes .. um.. your maps better & also increases... something or other
you don't believe the rumours?
wow - i can't say i learnt any major thing that i didn't know before, but all the information is very clearly put - that video dispelled any doubts in my mind (even though i found it hard listening to the American accent - i seem to associate it with lies mostly - sorry) about the business connections and the beneficiaries of certain "events"
Even if you're a cynical prick - watch this.
As much as i try to refrain from politics in the forums, actually reading and watching this stuff gets scary after a while
I'm going to have to stay up mapping now YAY

YAYStill.. its best to earn respect through Mapping, in my view.
I'd have as much respect for "Anonymous" guy as i would for anyone else here if he could make great maps.
I stick by my philosophy of taking what people say in forums as "a bit of a laugh"

Keep trying.
And if you fail - try again, then type out your post / thread, and before you press post, click the little X in the top right corner.

I don't know why ieatmonkeychow is looking forward to more powerful moderators

Hmm...
Ok. One good way to promote your mod, is to show existing work. Just set up a freewebs website or something, and show off your best screenshots / models etc. (and all the ideas of course - plot, story, game info etc)
Then when you get dedicated people working with you, you can get a proper website and start pimping you mod. Then mappers will come to you - instead of the other way arround.
Planning is key, and the lack of it often kills a good mod.
Good luck.

we will work out a system for naming entities and how many props each person will be able to use.Suggestion of the entities: make each person prefix all entity names with their initials: eg:
h_explo_trigger
h_snd_amb
etc...

Ok.. and is the actual colour blue in the texture blue? becuase sometimes when you change pal. colour depth you get (RGB 0 0 255) turning into (RGB 2 1 253) or someting similar...
Yay for stats!
:
Ok.. i have NEVER encountered this problem. Ever..
You must be making some very simple mistake.
Is the Blue Colour Pure Blue AND The LAST entry in the pal. of colours ?

The thing you need is all your ideas in one place - setup a website, do some of the work your self, and then ask for help.
i need.^^ That ...
mappers. at least 3 or 4
model maker. 2 or 3
proggrammer. 1 or 2
sound maker for intro, weapon sounds & other stuff. 3 or 4
website maker. 1 or 2
forum creator. 1 or 2
story maker. 1 or 2

ieatmonkeychow, i thought you went off to do TWHLmix3
No, i ment - don't look for "HL texture packs" Look for tiled textures.
But lets hope the Forum improvements don't ruin the "Home Made" Forum feel.
I'd say this would be easy to do:
Make a "New posts since last visit" page, or link or something -
Basically display a list of all the topics that get marked with a * on one page - so you can open up all of them quickly in your tabbed browser and commence the postage

Perhaps someone prominent, responsible, and who owns HL?, and I, could arrange semi-official HL? compos for a bit?Sounds good seventh
But that ends up with you & Andy
Unless i'm missing someone prominent, responsible, and who owns HL?...
Blazeeer's textures are good, but over usedYes, true.
The best advice i can give is look outside the "HL Box" for textures.
Oh, just got an idea: We should be able to add to other people's stuff: But in moderation and with proper communication with the original author.
I mean things like r_speed reducing techniques, or maybe an improvement in brush structure ( that doesn't change appearance, but runs better - and yes, there is such a thing)
Another thing is NULL / HINT textures, you should be able to change those if needed
And Little tiny bits like env_sounds (that a lot of people forget) and env_glows around some lights.
Maybe even go as far as changing the difficulty a bit to give the map a bit of balance overall.
All of that with the original author's & the team's consent.

Haz: raising the scale of quality is only a good thing
And don't forget to love what you do! Mapping
Great to see this thing gathering momentum
Here's an idea: How about you start making your map now - but start small, because remember that it has to be small in order to get other people in too.
Then you can just do something like vassy said: a teleport.
Can't wait to get a new HDD so i can start maping for this thing
Here's what i've planned so far:
3 Areas separated by teleports: 1 area was to be a wormhole sequence ( a kind of an intro.. but not any more because i can't do the first map..)
Area2: Grunts, lots of combat
Area3: My take on Xen: with more combat and a few surprises
Gonna max out the Texture memory & brush entity limit and force you to a levelchange - MUHUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
