Can you explain more? That doesn't make any sense to me. Do you mean your light_environment was causing a LEAK? Because that would prevent VIS from completing and would cause catastrophic framerate drops.
What? RAD bakes lightmaps. It shouldn't affect in-game performance. You might be thinking of VIS which calculates what the engine renders at any given time.
Put that on the poster. "Not terrible"
You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this sexual content on a site with several underage members.
What's wrong with TF2 actually? Makes the most sense because the game is free and the latest pre-l4d tools come with it as well. Plus it's multiplayer so we don't have to worry about multiple maps or story.
one map modded by many or one-man-one-map mappackI always assumed it was one map modded by many, as the multi-contributor map-pack idea has been done many times before and wouldn't really fit into the 48h each timeslot.
CT, you're a lovely bloke and I really appreciate the confidence, but I'm honestly not hot enough shit to allow for me to have greater pull over this than anyone else. It was your idea and I don't think anyone here would have a problem with you taking a full leadership responsibility!
CS:S, TF2 and L4D/2 have the least broken Hammers. Ep2's 2D views are still bugged out and HL2DM is outdated like naebody's business.
So in terms of manageability, for CSS a small hostage-rescue map would probably be best. For TF2 - CTF and for L4D/2 - survival. These are the smaller game modes for each.
I totally don't have the time to organise this, dude. You'll do a fine job, CT!

You gotta play a map.

Also, is HL2DM really still source 2006? Really?

Okay, just checked. Apparently it is. Huh.
Is there any way this can not be for HL2DM?

you don't need hl2 to run and map for hl2dm. You will probably need the SDK base as well as the SDK itself but don't worry - steam sets it all up for you.
I can only assume the five asterisks next to my name are a child-friendly filter of the word "shite".
Start out small.
7 Members, 1 quickie DM map, 24 hours each, send it on after each day then repeat for a second week. 48 hours total each.

"We're prepping the Steam Big Picture Mode UI and getting ready to ship that, so we're building boxes to test that on. We're also doing a bunch of different experiments with biometric feedback and stuff like that, which we've talked about a fair amount. Valve is always putting boxes together. Going all the way back to the Half-Life 1 days, we built special boxes to test our software render... it's just part of development."

I laughed, then got upset at the fact that I laughed.
Each person getting 2 weeks is not what I expected. I thought it'd be for 2 solid weeks every person gets a day and then sends it on to the next person.
Fun things to do would be to save it numerically at the end of each day so you can see the progress made after each mapper's work.
Also my vote is definitely for Source. So is Urby's, he's just confused.
If everyone is working simultaneously throughout the two weeks then it just becomes a bunch of maps to slap together into one, whereas if one person gets it for 24 hours then it moves on we really get a sequential progress.

Get some details in and make the lighting a bit less uniform!
This has great potential.

Because the last one needs a bump and not even Penguinboy knows how that TWHL bump request system actually works.
So, yeah, lots of news about this recently. Firstly, here's the confirmed map list for launch.
(Although remember that CSS never had cs_assault either. It was released several years after CSS went live).
The thing that makes me very happy though is the new media which shows the frankly terrible player models we've seen in previous media were either placeholder, or Hidden Path simply listened to the response to it which was "these models are fucking awful".
Most new images are from de_lake, a minimalistic defusion map with only one bomb site. One of the cool things we can take from this? Global shadow mapping. That awesome projected lighting they used in Portal 2 for Wheatley's torch amongst other things? That's now the environment light meaning that all props cast and receive shadows on a pixel level, not a lightmap level. Sexy lighting inbound!
The confirmed weapons list has been updated as well. They are now:

It really doesn't. We have broadband now, y'see.
It's cool that you want to understand how it works, but it'll have no impact on the end-user.

Goldsource, dude.
It literally doesn't matter. Nobody has a PC that gives a shit if a HL map isn't perfectly optimised anymore.
Seriously, you're using a 14 year old engine which is itself based on a 16 year old engine.

If it happens it's fairly likely that hl3 will be the title that launches it. Keep in mind this is all fairly speculative, mostly based on Gabe's admitted intention to travel down the hardware development path and a Valve employee's tweet of a micro-PC he built.
Crashed shortly after writing my first post. Don't think I'll go back to it - I was starting to get pretty damn bored.
D'awww
Just got to the end of the apartments. Running fine so far. Some really excellent design on display here, but the 'scares' are as cheap as they come. It's like a poor-man's FEAR.
Also, the idle and running animations for the monsters are so far hilarious.

Keep in mind that while turning brushwork into models will decrease your compile time, it will also decrease performance in-game. Models are more expensive to render.
Propper is great, but don't go mad.

Yeah, I've been using Hammer for 8 years and I didn't know that one.
It's a shame Goldsource fucks the lighting up on those smooth corners. Nice work, none-the-less, Bruce
If your RMF directory isn't filled with silly experiments and projects that have been started and never finished then you're doing something wrong 
Looks great, but I'm afraid I don't have TFC installed to check it out.

Hm. Fairly disappointed at the lack of interest in this considering how well the previous two did.
I can confirm that people who have completed it so far (in order of completion) are:
1. Urby
2. Cstriker
3. Jeffmod
however, Jeffmod is the first to do it without any hints from me

You might remember this from 2009-2010. Well I was a noob at displacements when I started it and it eventually failed to compile at all...
Fast forward 2 years and here we have the brand new reboot. Totally built from scratch over the past two weeks, none of the original map survived and it compiles an 80mb BSP in around 12 minutes.

Let's be cunts together.
Woop. Currently top of the board with 80. A few were guessed, but I had some glorious nostalgia moments. I really want to play Night at the Office again!
Ha. I was talking to Urby on teamspeak as we regularly do, and he noticed this thread and said he was just going to reply "no."
I told him not to bother, but it looks like hotdog didn't have that little voice in his ear telling him it's not worth it

Doubtful. Can't remember, though. I certainly played it for like 4 hours per day.
Yeah, I got pretty addicted to Orcs Must Die! for a week or so. Haven't played it since I finished the story, though.
Not even close. cs_office has textlights with brightnesses of 4k
So why is it a shame that the devs get money for their incredible work?
I think it's great. The game paid for itself in under 6 hours of going live.

I'm gonna say no.
And it's the Source engine 
I just finished Dear Esther. Totally blown away by the narrative, the visuals and the sound design. I almost cried at the underwater bit (to avoid spoilers). If you've played it, you'll know where I mean.
Holy fucking emotional journey, batman.

Did you add radar locations? If not I know where you can find a really good tutorial about it.
Also did you take advantage of CSS' move to Source2009 and add some colour correction? If not I know where you can find a really good tutorial about it.

How the hell was I supposed to get the opp4 one? :/
Maybe stop being so awesome and let someone else win the MotM for once, noSICK.
Looking forward to seeing it finished! As I said in my surfacerun review, some custom content would have been very welcome.
