The rules say "past, present, or future..," so I would say pods would be ok--if that was in fact what you wanted to do!

I could spend months detailing this, but I'm going to self-impose a deadline of another day or so to keep things reasonable
Anybody else WIPs in this besides me and Mr. Viper?

Nice to see the updates still flowing!

Make things that are square in triangles? How would that help?I'm not sure, but I think the compile chops things into triangles, so if you make them triangles before, maybe it's easier to compile? :
Anybody have a linkie to a good, in-depth article about the compile process?

Well I'm not entering because I didn't have much time to map.Um.. so let me get this right. You're in the top-10 or top-5 for user logins and profile hits all the time, but you're trying to tell us you have no time to map? This besides the fact you still have a full month to go? :

Finally got the scale right, and now the fun of rounding and detailin!!1
I have to say this is just as fun as making plastic models when I was really young... except it's more so because you're building all the pieces!
Also, I was complaining to myself how long it took to get th body shape right, and that you can't set a background pic in Hammer... until I realized, you could just texture a box behind the car to give you a similar effect! DOH! (I didn't think of this until the shape was done.)
Thanks for the month of nightmares ZL! :starkhorror:

If you could find out what frame rate they cycle at--I can't remember--, then you could use any animating progame to test your texture, rather than trying it out in-game. Or, you could use the existing ones as a reference--put a bunch of different ones in a test map, and pay attentions to what looks close to what you want.
If you want it to look super smooth, you could use tons of env_renders and a custom texture of each "frame", to produce a something closer to video.
Slayerwraith hand a nice example for this, but he seems to have deleted it

Too bad we couldn't make the teams size bigger, since it would increase the likelyhood to have fun raping the other team in 8 against 2
Wen r practices?

WCD: I agree with Kasperg. Even if your not getting the "invalid solid" error, those structures could potentially produce a slew of leaf face errors.
When building stuff like that nowadays, I use dispacement structues to to anything fancy like that. That is, I stick to building the thing out of a mass of 4-sided spikes, and then null every face exept the outside ones. (you can easily get leaf face errors with brushes 5-faces and above.)
It takes more time, but oddly enough all the additional brushes don't seem to raise wpolys a huge amount. Plus, it's virtually impossible to get errors doing it that way!
If you're not sure what I mean, I can post an example.
can't wait to test-drive your entry btw!!1~

For one reason, nobody wants nonstandard sounds/models/sprites in your own folders, or at least you shouldn't.
This way, when you release your own work, you don't have to worry about inadvertedly including nonstandard content with your map.
Putting it in minimod format isn't hard, and it gives you the opportunity to include a custom splash, which is always nice!

The jump sequence/arc is nice, but unnaturally slow-- you float for too long at the end of the jump--at least for me, I know it can depend how you jump.
You moved the trigger so the board flexes down, whether yo jump or not. I think it was more realistic the other way, but you probably have a good reason!

I found the push wasn't working as long as the player was "grounded" to the board. Instead, I made the board passable and made an inivisible "trap door" to simulate the ride, and threw the first push under it. The first push pushes straight up.
The second push is just above the the max jump height, so you should only be able to reach it by getting shoved by the first push under the board. The second push pushes forward and at a 30 degree angle.
Problems:
1. The second push doesn't always work the first time, and sometimes not at all, changing triggers delays and such-- maybe you can get it more consistent!
2. depending on where on the board you jump up, i will hurl you at different angles. some angles look natural from a diving board and some don't. /realism
Different methods maybe:
I'm sure there's tons of ways to achieve this effect. you could use just doors, or ONLY pushes, or tons of weird combinations, and there is no end to the delay adjustments you can make on everything.
I was going to try to make an udulating snake out of func doors or trains, but I didn't attempt it. I think Alexb911 or someby did something relating to this in one of his crazy cool maps
And prolly lots of other ways.
Anwyay, great idea, and please keep updating us Mr. F0ld!

Ghey, but I suppose there's not too many people actively developing mods/maps for HL1 anymore :'(
I didn't mean changing maps, I meant asking questions about things that I never took any time to think about--or be rational about--, and being otherwise over zealous as a stupid new mapper.
Example: I started mapping trying to make complicated func_vehicles in and other weird stuff in cs, before I could even complete a simple map!

Are they all source maps?
I know, but I can't be too harsh, since I was the exact same way when I started mapping!
I think they pay for licensing. :
Never saw that one. Nice edit.WTF are you talking about!!`~1??

ZombieLoffe's ASS-FACE SELECTIONS, and some of the Cat Macros inspired me to do this. More coming
Happyman: I appreciate your ambition, but you should probably learn a little bit more about mapping in general before asking questions like this.
When you teach yourself how to map, the answer to your question will be apparent.
1. Decompile the map
2. open it up and change the enitites
3. compile with the -onlyents paramater under CSG
I did it before with one of WCD's maps to fix a path error. It worked, but he didn't like me editing his map!

Yes, it's possible to just edit the entities with some program, but I forgot the name of it...Srry, you can just use hammer for that!

This is WAY too much fun! As soon as I get the scale right, I'll start rounding th edges, building the inside, and of course detailing!

Soe is the Forum Search for your trouble.
If you still can't get it to work after checking these, post your compile log, and/or upload your map to the Problem Maps section.

We are the moooninites, and our culture is advanced beyond all that you can comprehend, with 100% of your brain.
Perhaps a combination of textures and models. Rimrook would be the authority for both of these incidentally!
Making parts models wouldn't be that hard, like the lattice work, and even modelling the whole thing wouldn't be that bad, but aligning the materials might be another story--at least for me!
Once again, the updated awards:
Some feedback would be nice before I edit them all and create award clusters for everyone's profile (I'd rather not have to do it twice!).
So, if i don't hear anything, i'll assume they're ok

Being able to reverse your selection like that is pretty neat, which is in itself a tip. Way to to Srry.
srry: I concurr with muzza (I just tried it again lol). Maybe different versions of hammer are the cause? Do you use 3.5? (I do, an I think muzza does.)
