lol, that map from the "mother of god" thread had +8000 wpolys, but It was still "playable"

Cats don't leave massive human-sized craps.LOLOLOLO
Cats are good for people who are never home. You don't really have to worry about them, because they mostly sleep all the time.
Dogs are very needy generally, and are only good for people who are home to walk/brush/pet/play with them a lot.
My friend Ian has a purebread German Shepard called Hercules--he is gigantic. When nobody is home--which is all the time--, the dog barks the whole time, and the neighbors complain constantly.
Ian is a good example of someone who shouldn't have a dog.

1 building down, 23 to go
It's fun for once not having to worry about interiors whatsoever! This compo sort of feels like building a model town for a train set
Thank you for your support I'll try to make y'all proud with blisteringly exciting new updates soon ^_^!
Dauby: I've found as long as you stick directly to the ship, the wpolys are pretty ok. It's when you noclip and zoom out that they get really big, really fast!
Kasperg: Wow, that page is astoundingly comprehensive! TY!
Captain P: Yes the interiors are flat as heck... Right now, all they really are is the result of building the outside, so they're highly raw. All except the bridge, which I think is pretty ok, but also really far from perfect at this stage.
TY again for your comments

Here's my latest attempt an HLDM map, based on the Enterprise-A from Star Trek.
Battle areas will be on the inside and the outside of the ship. There will be various ways around the ship, including Transporters, Jeffries tubes, Airlocks, Turbolifts, and maybe even a shuttlecraft!
I realize this is not the most feasible/conventional way to build a multiplayer map, but I think I'll be able to make it work.

I like the John Mayer a lot...he just totally lost me with that one song
Plus, I don't think he really cares what I think, since every girl I know worships him literally. My cousin Melissa's email address something crazy like Number1JohnMayerFan@...
I still like his breakthrough hit the best, but I really should try more of his current stuff.
edit: Oh, and that "Body is a Wonderland" tune is questionable too ^_^

I for one say make the deadline monday dinner time GMT, a "weekend" mini compo of sorts.
If you guys think that's too short, I would say 1 week maximum for the time limit.

Srry, that's the coolest thing about this compo, I think you just don't like restrictions of any type
Captain P hasn't posted the rules yet, but I'm envisioning everyone starting with a square of a certain size. within that square you can do WHATEVER you want.
"Squares", because then we can align them together to form a grid. Your parts don't have to line up perfectly with somebody elses... you can do whatever you want inside the square afaik.

limits you to making a "normal" city?I don't see why Captain P would make that stipulation.
I don't see how basic scale could possibly affect your choice. I mean, you can still build whatever you want, but whatever.
Maybe pm captain P--as to not divulge your idea to everybody--, and he could modify the restrictions if necessary.

I really don't like the preset scale/connectivity thing at all. What if you wanted to have different terrain heightsIt's not a restriction, it just creates uniformity. You could make the terrain as high as you wanted to, but things like street widths, lightpost heights, standard door sizes would all be the same.
Ya know?

I meant brushes. "Model" meaning a "Mock-up or scaled-down city.
I see your point muzz, but it seems more people want the minature city. I thought you were going out of town this weekend too?!

Daubages, are you in too!?
I think the "model city" idea wins for the first compo. I like the "High poly map" idea as well, so maybe we can do that for the next one
Captain P: Your compo, your rules. Your decision if you want spirt, cutom content, or whatever included. You'll be judging since it's your idea, unless you can find a mod to do that so you can participate yourself.
I recommend a short time limit like 2-3 days, but really, it's your decision. We seem to have lots of interest too, so probably the faster we get started, the better.
If you need help with creating the base map for this, let me know. I thought about having a base map with "roads" on it, so when we link them together, they would match up. Just an idea.

I could make a count-down page, just give me a yell.Mr. P, the word is given
Yeah, we could do one after the other, even the toilet one too
Timeframe?
I suggest 2 days, and maybe one of the smarter of us could make a link to a countdown clock--i'll host the page if u want. This way, we won't be easily confused about the timeleft accross our various timezones--or at least I won't
edit we should probably wait on the one muzzie suggested, since he can't participate on this one. So I guess that leaves Captain P's unless somebody else has a better one.

It would be cool to use one of these "model" towns as scenery perhaps, like looking out a window at a town far away.
I was going to map a Starbase from Startrek, and put minature starships out the windows
Any more ideas, bitches?

I think this is definitely a hammer bug.
Come to think of it, I just had this happen working on my enterprise map, where I was doing simple translations on an extremely large 8-sided cylinder. After about the fourth time crashing, I just clipped the big cylinder in half, and it never crashed again.
Possible fix would be to make the brush smaller, or less complicated--clipping a single complicated brush into many simpler ones might be a good practice for you here

I only find Hammer crashing like this on GIGANTIC maps--where the outer boundary's are only like 64 units from the edge of the useable space--and then, only sometimes.
I hope your not literally "hollowing" a big sphere like that, and rather your using clip/vm to make a hollow version of it.

I'm happy with whatever we decide to do, as long as we all agree on a relatively short term. Less pressure that way imo, because if you budget your time for a couple days, realistically, there is a limit to what you can do.
... best toilet?lol sure why not. See what everyone else thinks. Besides, I just made one in an updated version of this.
Huntee: Machines = cool
It seems many of us--Elon, Muzzie, VOX, srry, and others have a penchant for props, prefabs, or just fancy brushwork in general.
So, for all the plebians--like me--who don't map for source, how about let's have some mini compos focused on complicated/fancy brushwork?
Ideas here for who's interested. Best Idea is the first compo, and that person judges--some mods too, if they want to participate.
I'm envisioning the term for these contests to be relatively short--like 2 or 3 days--, but whatever you guys think.

isn't it against the copywrite to decompile one of valves maps, edit it and recompile it anyway?You can't really "steal" anything from a decompiled map, excepth maybe the idea of it or how it was done. In the Black Mesa: Source mod if you recall, they were/are recreating the whole original game--again-- for the Source engine.
I could be wrong, but I don't think they paid for any licensing.
[quote]He is in love with me! heart - :heart:[/elon]

You can however take the decompiled map, and compile with entities only, and thereby edit any entity in the map, like spawns, sounds, etc.
I've done it before... it's easy and fast to do.
If you want to change any brushwork like elon said, you have to rebuild the whole thing

Captain P was working on a nice in-game tutorial, but I don't think he finished it.
You should release it anyway Elon! It would be nice to have one, nice finished example on all the different types imo.

Here's a couple more maps that contain nice examples of volumetric light.
The search only works if somebody puts the terms your searching for in the map title or in the description... There are many fine examples in the vault, with very poor descriptions
A nice one by Rimrook using sprites:

A nice one by Seventh-Monkey, also utilizing a rotating fan:

http://twhl.co.za/mapvault_map.php?id=3885
Another by Seventh monkey that is a rotating alarm:
http://twhl.co.za/mapvault_map.php?id=1706
I know there are more in the vault, but these are all I could find.
