5 years ago those models looked amazing, there was no need to make them better. Simple.
Just read the entire thread again:
From the top
Nice to see TWHL growing with demand.
As for all the mod talk - Its pretty clear who are the "active" and contributing members at TWHL. So asking to be a MV mod is pretty useless unless you can argue your point well and live up to your promises.
I for one would like to say
"For the love of god don't make me moderate the Map vault!"
In its current State, it frightens me
I got Admin rights on IRC and that's enough power for me (for now
)
The point is, everything will be sorted out in time
I'd like to see more of that please!
And everyone else who disputes the element of FUN in a map.
joke
ABOVE ALL, Maps should be FUN
That's what hl mapping is about, Fun!
After some more thought user ratings are inevitable - so yes, a good idea.
Lastly, all of you mod wannabies, ask your self:
Am I reliable?
Am I mature in my decision making?
Will i put popularity above the "right" thing to do
Do I know what the "right" thing is??
Am I ready?
Will I work or will i just hang around?
Am I aware of the responsibility?
I at one stage wanted to start up a review board at TWHL, the more i think of it the more i realise how unprepared i was to take on the role.
Don't ask for something you can't handle.

Ill just go kill myself then.Great to see some self moderation there ZL!

I'm not sure that 'fun' is necessary.If you were standing beside me I?d kill you!

er... If the author bothered to put a description, fill in all the details etc you know that someone spent time on their map.
Time = Quality in mapping.

You can search around for Gensurf but its more trouble than its worth.
Its all hit and miss and you don't get as much control or satisfaction out of your generated terrain.

er... there are tutorials on this...
It involves more than just making the mm target itself

remember that it will just sit there and spawn human gibs when blown up - and the hit boxes will be non existent - its just what it is - a generic monster that is just there to display the model doing an animation
Why not start a mapping class - mapping is so much easier than language... human contact is so overrated...

You know somebody is serious enough with their maps when they have everything configured and explained properly
Hmm... I agree with deleting anonymous posts...
But,
This should not apply to the general mapping questions forum.
It may be a good idea to be stricter, but not too much because that would ruin the community thing a bit.
When i first found TWHL i didn't create an account because i had no need for one, i just browsed around the tutorial comments - pity they had to go...

Er... an unfinished map is not better than No map..
And please link to large images instead of making me scroll horizontally.
Or be really smart and do thumbnails:

Heh - it sounds fun, and a lot of work.
You do have to recreate all the maps, textures etc from scratch though...

No way Seventh! The only orange you want is FCBA04
Self coded forums all the way!
And just diving in here:
> the moderators are very well spaced through time zones:
Atom/Seventh in GMT more or less,
SlayerA in the US
And Andy in Australia
Thanks to everyone who mentioned me for Mod
And a user rating system is a good idea, but letting members rate members is counter productive: the number of people who will use the system properly will be less than the number of people who will abuse the system.
If a system like this could be implemented then users would have to be rated by members with "trusted opinions" - well, for obvious reasons...
but then again, how about we loose the idea of classes, stats and ranks and judge for our selves, on whatever we want.
After all, this is a mapping site, and your work is a very good indicator of your ability and personality, since mapping IS an escapist Art form.

Hmm... I might just go with the clich? in glass and make.. hang on, is everyone thinking what i'm thinking???
Vassy, how about trying to win the glass compo and then make it 2 in a row with the osprey ?
Because if you can map a winner for that (according to you) then you can probably try one for the glass...?

Well done Dr. Phil
Erm.. you really do need to search harder than g00gle...

Just search arround the net - research what you want to make..
Wow! TFC.. finally something that's not CS

good advice, i'd like to add that careful placement of nodes is a must:
don't just slap a few down and hope for the best.
Read collective's article on that

Pak Explorer is superior -
place everything you have made in "maps", "gfx", "sprites", "sound" and "models" directories in the pak, as well as titiles.txt (goes in the root directory or the pak)
DON'T INCLUDE ORIGINAL HL CONTENT!! (the size will be too big)
that should clean up the ol' mod directory or map set a bit
btw,
Name you pak
pakX.pak
where X is a number from 0 to anything i think.
All pak files in a game directory like "valve" or "gearbox" must have a structure:
pak0.pak
pak1.pak - overrides pak0.pak but game references pak0.pak anyway
pak2.pak - overrides pak1.pak but game references pak1.pak anyway
and so on..
That's basically all you need to know about pak files...

-Does Gordon have any special powers, or abilities? Why is he so special?he can see through walls with gl_wireframe abilities,
fly through matter with noclip and absorb damage by turning into a god!
he can also spawn grunts, weapons, and read others' minds with special mystical Impulse commands!
I already posted this long ago - and didn't thik much of it.
Then realised that somebody might care...
so, if you've played issues (or not) and remotely liked subzone you can download the source maps and whatnot in the mapvault here
or through my site here:
http://www.hlcore.uni.cc/downloads/
All is free if you credit me. that's it..

You know, it may be better to include all your stuff in a pak file - much cleaner.
Please don't include worthless stuff like your save games, config.cfg, voiceban.... and content you never used. It just bloats the dload

well.. most of the time a beta is when you have the game done, and you're testing it for bugs....
