Motorhead- Dancing on your grave

Really? How??

Games I play:

-Fury Of The Furies:
I really enjoy playing this game. I don't know why, it's almost like any arcade game. Shoot, avoid shots and enemies and solve puzzles. Maybe it's because of the other special powers you can have(shoot ropes, eat rocks and dive) but I think it's mainly because the fact you're a ball, it makes your movement harder(you bounce back if you hit the wall, you need many jumps to reach to the maximum hight you can jump to), I think it spices up the gameplay.

-The Amazing Spiderman:
I played this game when I was young, now I continue playing it. It's sometimes fun to solve it's many puzzles.

-The Chaos Engine:
I heard there are many games of it's type but never played any one of them. I enjoy the cool graphics and running from shots, massicaring all sorts of cool creatures. The characters are cool also!

-Z:
The first one not the second! It's gameplay is really diffrent from all the other strategy games.(not as always: build buildings->Harvest money->build defences and army->slaghter your enemies) You need to work fast and take as many teretories, more then the ememy. There is no money, the more teretories you have the faster the factories you find in some teretories and your fort will produce soilders. Plus the soilder handling isn't as annoying as in most in the other strategy games. Here the soilders are in squadrens of 2-4.

-Xenon 1:
Woohoo. Although the graphics suck(not for it's time though) the gameplay is fun and hard! It's not like most space shooters game you are not always a space ship, you can turn into a tank, you're slower but you can move backward and you have more armor.

-Xenon 2 Megablast:
Again a great succses. It's not like it's prediccesor but sure is fun and hard. I remember this game from my childhood. It has cool graphics too.

-Speed ball II:
The only sports game I like to play. Unlike the other sport games it's hard and you can get points by injurying your oponents. I like it's gameplay and graphics. It should be improved in a few things but overall it's nice.

-Gods:
I always remembered this game from my childhood as "The knight". I remembered the big bosses, awsome character designs and cool graphics. Again it got a great gameplay.

I just love the bitmap brothers' old games!

Games I'd like to play, but can't:

-Chaos Engine 2:
It looks it's exectly like the older one, only with new levels. Thats why I'd like to have it, but it's for amiga only.

Edit:

FOR CHRIST SAKE!!! Worms Armagedon and Heros 3 aren't old! Worms 1/2 and heros 1/2 are old.

I thought this thread died!

Motorhead - Another Perfect Day

Motorhead - Don't need religion

This is what I ment by the long lights. Will look much better then always the same boring cilleing lightbulbs.

Never tested it, only once in SP! Try it what can happen.

Add item_antidotes, they heal you from poision. (it will stop hitting you)
Decrease the damage of the poision, it's destroys the nice gamepleay this map could have had!

Happy birthday. Sorry for the cake! It was so delicious that we couldn't wait for you.

nice animation, funny, however voice was annoying!

ha, looks like it was made in mspaint.

Huge shoping mall... well might be nice to map a mall in source, but it's too big for Hl1, all the shops... the bomb site will be the bank.

Erm... does it matter? It destroys your computer thats what thats important.

Make the yellow light in the turbins room dimmer, it will make the red one more noticible in a wider range. Remove some of these yellow lights too, try one pair for two arches
It looks empty. Don't just add props and stuff, the artitecture needs to be spicened up a bit.

Edit:
Nahh the lightning is just bad. Try adding lights not only on the ceilling. On the three pillers at the bottom of each arch add a few long lights. It will look nicer. And add a source to that red light. Why not little red spotlights.

If I sound like a complete idiot to you then thats only because I'm a Hl1 mapper.

Edit #2:
There is a source to that red light! Red little spot lights on the floor will look better.

So did I. I didn't know how to set the compiling. For a year I just mapped! Then suddnly I managed to compile it in the basic compiling mod without doing anything.

I'll beat you for I'll use a 16x16 texture with 0.001 scale. And I'll turn it into two cubes with a corridor between them.

Stupid idea, in my opinion.

Cool... I might try it one day. How can you make it look endless?

8 is the recommended maximum. If you have more then 8 it may cause many types of strange errors.

Your Hl1 vesion is lower then 1.1.1.0. Upgrade it. If it's CS then upgrade CS.

How did you come to that conclusion, orbb?

That company is full of Money-grubbing theives!

Which company doesn't have them?!! The richer you are, the greedier you are.

Whats so fun about making viruses? Whats so fun to know that you ruined someones computer? I curios why hackers do it...

Yeah what freshed said. New talents will come out.

Well If you suck on DM it doesn't mean you are a bad player. I'm really bad in DM, and lag too, but in SP I'm quite good.

I just wondered, what do you like best. Did you forget about that making maps is just for playing in them afterward, and you just map or not?

I think that I forgot all about Hl1, now I just map for it's fun.

B) If you love source so much, then go with it. I'm not here to stop you, and since you also know how to model, props aren't a big problem for you either.

Damn what an idiot, he can't even take constructive critisisim! I hope all the guys like that will be pissed off like him, if not TWHL might turn into an horrible community, and the map vault will be spammed with so called 5 stars maps.

I should put the Worlds ugliest dog as my avatar

Don't just don't. I remember it was so heavly deformed I could hardly look at it without feeling sick. I pity it.

The cat doesn't look so bad though. It's just hairless and got many wrincles so it looks like a brain. It looks a bit like a door, got confused sometimes. Although it's probebly only this breed of cats.

Try improving your other mapping skills. Like entity work. Try thinking on ways making things that were sepposed to be impossible to do with out a costum code.

I remembered once looking around in the internet for a castle wolfenstain 3D download then I read somewhere that the first 1st person shooters games wasn't it. It was said ID created before a unpopular fps game called 'catacombs rider' or something like that, I don't remember the exact name for it was so long ago.

Do the same with the .max and .map files! The .max is the .map's backup file and the .rmx is the .rmf's backup file.

Woohoo, this just turned into a why you hate source, steam, valve and thread.

My reason is: I just hate them donno why.

Wasn't this thread about the love of wild animals/teddy bears?

Teddy bears are the evil ones, bewere of them. BEWERE OF THE TEDDIES!

The pit worm's eyes look weird! Try also changing how that xenish growth on the walls of the buildings. It's really looks like a bunch of blocks and cylinders with a xenish texture. I can't explain how to make it better, but look in opfor in episodes like the pit of the worm's nest. The xen growth that usally have these spores on them look much better. Try making your xen growth more like that.

I think he'll have too many epolies because of the plants before he'll get that error. You can have only 400 models in a map.

Not so. Just place the stars right below the co-webmaster..ect titles.
Seen it in many sites and it's not complicated on the eye.

Woohoo jaardsi is in. Now I have a chance to see his maps, only saw that example map he has in this site.

Neato! Although I'm sure I saw these textures before! Are they from sancefar?

I'll take the real one. Teddy bears always have torn of limbs or eyes after a very short time in my house.

Nahh, I happy with that texture, but not with it's color, probebly needs a greyish color like the trims with the bolts. Any comments on the other stuff?

That what I just said. How should I change it so it will fit?

As many of you already know I started, quite long ago, my first DM map.
It took me a long time to finish uit because I stopped working on it in the middle and worked on the last Hl1 compo entery. I returned to it recently and it's coming out quite well. There is a screeni in my profile of a nice part in the map.

I made a nice passage, then I showed it to rowleybob, he told me the rusty door in the end doesn't fit with the corridor. I agreed with him, so I asked rimrook to edit that texture and remove the rust. The texture is nice but it doesn't fit the corridor too, but I don't know why!

The original version

With Rimrook's texture

Maybe it needs a lighter color, maybe greener... maybe a color like the those metal trims with bolts. Please help me, then I'll know what to change!

P.S: This is a very important door and I can't procced with out placing it in all the places it needs to be in.

Cool models. You'll get a medal, I'm sure of it, if you'll enter the compo with this map.

I once had a similer problem when I tied many brushes to a func_water together, some didn't show up. Tie each brush seperatly.

Nice. So many compeditiors.

Yeah, and I'm planning on keeping it this way too.

I think ZL was sarcastic. If you intend to make a one textue map then don't use that crete texture, it's one of the blandest textures in the game. The c1a4b_w3 texture is usally better.

I highly advice you not to use only one texture, it might be hard work to use many textures but it's much nicer.

Hammer 3.5 shows models in the 3D view, if you have the right FGD.

Killtarget removes the entity from the map, it doesn't actually kill it. I gess it's an aiscripted_seaquance and when it's done it kills the tentiecl with it's killtarget value. In game they made the door target the black func_wall_toggle and makes it dissapear so you could continue.

When I had no ideas for Sp as I said before, I started to think on layouts for DM. It's quite simple for they are mostly circular, afterward fit a nice theme to that layout.

It's sometimes easier to think of a layout then thinking on a theme.
