Alright ZL.

Happy happing.

ZL has the map.

Looks great Vassy.

I like the start, though we might want to add in some scientists talking instead of messages. I'll handle that stuff at the end when I polish it up a little. Don't worry, I will not change any brushwork, just some monster and weapon placements plus maybe adding some voice sounds in.

I have it.

I will send it to the loffe soon, but I have some buisness to attend to first.

AAAAaaaaahhhhhh

They are little evil furry monsters that scratch out your eyes and get hit by cars trying to cross the road.

Wait a minute, did I just call Andy that?

VASSY!!!

Where are you?

Read your e-mail. I sent you a solution.

Read your mail Vassy,

I have a solution.

Do what you have to first.

Then do what you want to.

Jahzel, you are 4th. Were not even done with 1. I'm sure you will have time when the time comes.

Wow, map 2 is going to be great!

fine, be that way

... because English was the first one?

What?

The reason the keyboard is arranged this way is so, as seventh said, to not have the hammers collide. They put the letter that are most uncommonly used together next to each other. The typewriter used this, but people couldn't ajust to different keying on a keyboard, so were stuck with the QWERTY system of today.

He types.

Opposoms can type, right?

I like the 3 people for map thing.

I will personally add a short ending at the very end, plus short credits

There are 12 mappers besides me, so I'll just make a map for my suprize ending, making us at 5 BSPs in total.

I wonder what Andy has to say about that?

Typewriter is the largest word you can write using only one line of the keyboard.

(And yet another usless fact by BrattyLord)

No modification of the code.

We decided that.

I like the screenies

well, I know Its not a resturant, but...

See the truth behind Andy

Its fine.

Just try and finish this weekend.

Congrats

Sorry ZL, got you mixed up with Jahzel

Well,

I did take down the Gunship... but...

The dude who was suppose to open the door decided it was a good idea to charge the gunship... and... hes pudding right now.

I guess Ill backtrack and try and save that idiot during the fight.

Thanks

Captain P,

What the hell is that?

Oh, and P, if you joined now, you probably wouldn't have to map until June or late May. If your busy, then you can be moved down the list.

BTW, ZL, do you need to be moved down the list still?

I never thought I would be asking for help with a game, but here it goes.

I'm at the part with the car that you drive around. I have already put it in that garage and killed all the attackers to the area. This is the area with the lighthouse, and the little path over the cliff by the lighthouse.

My problem is, how do I get to the path?

I have explored everywhere, and have spent hours trying to figure this out, and now I want to pull out my hair. There is a little keypad in the basement of the lighthouse, and a section that looks like the frame of a door in a light shadow. When I press the keypad, it makes funney noises and then nothing.

HELP!

IM pissed that I can't beat HL2 because of this small inconveniance.

Meh..

The screenies look okay. I like the texturing, but the archetexture is kind of... flat. I think you need to add some more depth to the map.

Besides that it looks good.

Eventually If we keep taking the steps that Captain P said, we will create a MOD. Do you see that we are rearing further and further from what TWHLmix really is to makeing a full drawn out MOD? Everyone gets to do their thing, and add on what they want, not one set thing that everyone has to do. This gives much more freedom to the mappers to really make a part theirs, since they came up with the idea.

As I said, If someone wants to get help with their map, then so be it, they can do whatever they want, but we are not going to sit down and say "Alright, so heres the storyline we all have to follow".

The purpose of this is to see how each person progresses the map by adding their own little part, this way when we play we get a variety of mapping styles, as well as an interesting storyline.

This will not be like TWHLmix1. The rules have been revised, and we have much more control. All the maps go through me rather than everyone just passing it along. We also have better mappers, ones who really can create a great peice of work. We also have more collaboration that before. Maybe if you had a copy of the rules, you'd understand more of what we have done to change TWHLmix to make this go smoother.

This will not be another TWHLmix1, this is a new brand of mix. This will succede, and will be much better than before. I know that we can make this work, since we all are intelligent, talented, mappers.

Lets cut the chit chat and start mapping.

I like the Logo, but I think you are drawing too much attention to the G-man, who may or may not be a feature in the mix

I would use that Logo, in the other backround.

(BTW, don't use the G-man in your maps, I have a supprizing ending, no matter what the storyline is )

I like the first one, but I don't like it being called PT.2

Its not really part 2, since 1 really didn't have an absolute storyline.

I would like it if it was "TWHLmix 2", maybe with the two like a squared sign like in HL2/

looks good.

Although it doesn't have much significance to TWHLmix...

...

Just change the splash.

... I think It should be TWHL orange, with all of our avatars as the foreground. Although that may not look very profesional...

Maybe all of our avatars with a black backround, blended together in a swirl, like my av?

Elof?

You will arange the menus. Good...

And so do I Alex

The Da Vinci code was an interesting book, although I do not agree with some of the stuff in their. Most of it was just conspiracy to make us think about who really were these people.

yah, but the bible says he was light skinned. I think...
And he WAS married...

actually, the Bible says that Jesus was a Jew, so he would be of that race. Since he lived in the Middle East, he probably was a little darker skinned. Why does it matter anyway?

I do not think that Jesus was married, and the claim made in the Da Vinci code is definetly false. Jesus was not married to Mary Magdelin. Just because he had a female follower does not mean that he was married to her. But yes, she was a whore before she followed Jesus.

When I recieve the map from everyone, I will personally look it over. If there is an obvious flaw in weapon placement or enemies, I will change it, I.E, giving the player a rocket launcher instead of a crowbar in the first map. Also, making the player face an army of Grunts with a pistol, although that might be good for later levels, not the begining.

Oh, your feeling better now?

"Im getting betta... I think I'll go for a walk... I feel happyyyy I feel haaappyyyyy I feell"
*CLUNK

AMEN!

The bible of Christianity is supposed to be the perfected moral code

Not really. The Bible is a group of different books. Although I believe that it is a book of God, humans tend to make errors, and somehow things also might have been slightly changed in the translation from language to language.

we're supposed to be as merciful as god and stuff like that.

I don't think its humanly possible to be as merciful as God. We are suppose to be reverent to God, kind and lowering ourselves to others, and also be kind to ourselves. Thats just my interpritation.

No matter what, this will turn into a flame war, one I will not participate in.

It only will if we make it one. Lets discuss things without being irresponsible

I think the bible is just one big book of rules.
If i were a christian i would be ashamed, since it has caused so damn much bloodshed in the past.

A book of rules it is, although it is more than that. The word of God is intended to us so that we may live better lives in preperation for our eternity in heaven.

Also, no-where that I have seen in the Bible does it ever incourage bloodshed. What bloodshed are you specifically talking about, because Jesus came here for peace on the world. If a Christian killed someone because of his religion, he shurly got something wrong. "Though shalt not kill"

Why doesn't everyone just get on with this life, assume it's the only one we get, and make the damn most of it instead of squandering it to an "all-merciful God" who in that case should be most pleased with people not wasting what he may have given
us!

God wants us to be happy in this world. God wants us to be kind to others, and to live a good life. God lets us enjoy this world. It is a gift to us. In Genesis, which I recently read over again, God gives us everything to us. Genesis 9 is where God gives us meat (Which I showed my vegiterian friends )

Waste what? What are we wasting that he gave us?

If people spent all the effort they do into religion and arguing about it on actually helping others as most of the "holy books" say, the world would be a far better place.

We do help others. That is part of our religion. We put effort into helping others. I spent over 5 hours last week building houses with Habitat for Humanity so that some people can have a nice home. This is done through the Church. I also spent time making food for the homeless people that we bring into our church and give a place to sleep for the Room In the Inn program. I even donated a watercolor painting I highly liked to the Habitat For Humanity auction so that they could raise money for the program. Friends of mine went to live in Africa to help the people their have good living conditions. Everywhere, Christians are helping others, using the example that Jesus Christ set for us. Please don't take us the wrong way because of some people during the Crusades who thought it would be cool to kill people .

just look at some of these multi million dollor churches, do you think that makes God happy? the bible does not command us to build extravagent places of worship. maybe thats beside the point, i dont know. im no expert

I agree with you there. I do not agree with those Churches who make those multi-million dollar places of worship, rather than using it to help suffereing people. Although I do not agree with giving money directly to troubled people, we need to channel that money to them by, lets say, getting them jobs, or making them homes, or babysitting their kids so that they can go to work.

I hope that you guys don't get mad at me again for posting my religious beliefs, and please do not misunderstand Christians. There are so many of us, over 1/3 of people claim they are Christians, but I'm sure some of them have the wrong idea, although they mean good.

Thanks for listening.

well, I guess now I have to redo the list, since Mister Chow has died on us

We will start that in about half a year.

So obviously the answer is yes

Oh,

And we could make it a minimod if we want.

How about we vote on it?

every member who posts here in TWHLmix will get a vote.

I vote yes

You are allowed to use custom textures, ZL.

How about we just map first ask questions later?
Or that's probably a bad idea...

Thats what I think, though I would say it:

Lets cross that bridge when we come to it.

1: Please try and stick to the theme. Intelligent transitions would make the map better that if everyone used teleports. Try and be creative people.

2: If you recieved the welcome letter, you would know that custom stuff is allowed, but it has to be improved.

textures:
Gman is in charge of texturing, so e-mail him if you have custom textures you want to add.

Sound:
Of course custom sound is allowed.

Messages:
Why do we need messages? Just use a sound.

3: You can collaborate, but thats on your own time. The point of this whole project is for each TWHL member to add a part of them to one map. If you really want to share your stuff and get suggestions, then do it, but I wouldn't.

4: Compiling is a booger.

You know, we could come to some kind of an agreement with the tags.  We have a hell of a long time to do it though, so we should have no problem.

Looking forward to seeing it too Vassy

.. by that I mean ...

HURRY UUUUPPPP

(JK)

he eats babies!?!?

Screw the rules!

anyway,

The Vassy says: Moooo

wait wait, I mean,

The Vassy says:

Theme:

Laboratory style maps, with concrete areas. Similar to black mesa, but
with a more military style. Quite a lot of modern technology, including a
teleportation device.

wait,

I thought you looked like your av?

Better watch your mouth Zl, you'll be at the bottom of the list

no, no,

I just posted a pic of myself.

Thats what I look like

Please e-mail me the theme vassy, so I can send it to everyone else in e-mail.

BTW,
Hazardous just joined, so hes right in front of me in place 12.

I'll set a limit at 20, if that many people flock toward us.

I believe that with hazardous, that completes our final list of 13.

what a number. 13.

Anyway, that would take about a week and a half for each person, leaving us roughly at about 5 months, meaning the realease being around the start of summer, a good time to release a map.

I'll set the release date the 6th of June at the latest.

Lets make this thing happen

You know what?

I'll post the list if you really want...
this is it so far...
