Same here, I still have a shit-ton of work to do on mine, but gawd can't wait to see the entries for this :)

And i will be submiting finished or no. If i can't finish it as a defuse map, I may just submit it as a prefab pack, and a example map for spawning/respawing Players in a MP game onto a moving train(not that it's hard to do or anything) ;)

in Leak problem. Post #316062
I use the pointfile 90% of the time, and then"Big Block" Method if it's a tough one.

Obviously, make sure none of your entity origins aren't poking outside the map, and/or, you haven't accidentally turned a world-sealing brush to a func_wall or other brush-based entity.

I think possibly a crazy invalid brush can cause a leak, so just in-case, try hiding/deleting any suspect brushes and recompile.

If all else fails and you are in a hurry, you can always skybox ;)

Rimrook: Awesome tip! it's simple, but i'd never have thought to use a single brush like that to solve a complicated leak, easy peazy! =P

While i'd love to do a twhl halloween coop, i think it would be a mistake to postpone C33 any longer....

BUT, maybe we can still pull some sort of Halloween project off? Perhaps rescue Alberto's coop? Something small and manageable of course!

I nominate Don to manage it whatever we do ;)

Nice stuff in here everyone!

Atom: You can also import brushwork into blender. I wish Valve would just make a func_model already.. You ever fuck around with LODs, Atom?

Sajo: Loving it, reminds me of DoD =)

Striker: Looks wonderfully intricate from the hammer shot ;)

Meanwhile in Norway, the U.S.S. Blocky slowly takes shape. (c33 entry de_orbit)

in Hammer: Can't select faces Post #316039
There has always been a minimum distance Texture Properties will let you select faces, but you should be able to get pretty close normally, and still be able to select faces.

If your scene is really big with lots of objects, there may be a lag-time between when you left-click and the when the brush actually shows up selected (if this was actually the case, you can turn down the viewable distance under options to speed it up).

Or maybe hammer just doesn't like you ;)

I would build the basemap for you if i didn't have 2 other contests to work on at the moment... Hopefully someone else here like Rimrook can help you, OR you can simply use blocks and ramps to approximate the area/terrain you want, and they can be made pretty later ;)

Do you have any form of useable basemap built now? If yes, i would post a link here, so people that want to help you have something to start with.

Haha Tet, your new avatar is priceless =P

I thought you actually meant building a victorian-age haunted house, and we would all contribute to building the inside! my bad ;)

Perhaps we could do both? Maybe have a main haunted house on "the hill" that memebers can coop, and then in the township you could have the seperate member houses and trick-or-treating possibly?

Level changes would probably be in order to have enough resources. Anyhoo whatever you-all decide i'm in; i freaking love halloween =)

Nice bats and a pretty splash/logo btw =PP

I say it's been so long, why not reopen/relaunch the contest to New contenders for 1 month, and then have an official judging and prizes, no matter what?

This give peeps a second chance to join, and those who already entered time to further polish their entries. (win-win)

and den after that, we should seriously have structured and regular contests like we used to.

if there is no official prizes, I would(and I'm sure others) be willing to donate. We could also. Accept "mystery gifts" like we are trying to do with the minicontest.

Yes Finally a logo and it looks great! I love the colours, my only bicker is i feel it should have a longer handle and smaller mallet, like a traditional sledgehammer.

Booting up Sledge now to check the changes =)

Seems you fixed most-all of the texture bugs, and the only inconsistency i can see with normal hammer is the aforementioned find/replace bug when missing textures are concerned.

I love how you can make changes so quickly(seemingly like magic since i'm not a coder), well done!

Sledge is really shaping up fast :P
