Awesome tet, is that your room? I have lots of textures that I use for architecture but not any wall ones. Just like woods, tiles, marble, concretes and stuff.
Im still wating for some wips!
Whats with all these sell outs. Were supposed to be like the strongest halflife mapping community by now lol. Well my scale im using is almost too small and I would almost recommend going bigger. Like 160 or 192 units equals a foot rather than 128 units. And @ darkie, there are 30.48 centimeters in one foot. Just google centimeters in a foot or whatever your looking for. Well my maps coming along pretty cool I just went to walmart and baught some tiger barbs so that I would have a fish tank to map. I have lots of cool ideas but don't want to give them all away. Theyll just be surprises.
No thats good. In my map the player will be able to shoot the light switches turning off and on the lights and fan. I think the more interactibility the better the map. Anyways check out chicco's room inthe vault, its very cool! Great inspiration for this. I didn't know it was a rat's map.
Theres this word im trying to find oh yea its called >>"Clean"<< your room lol! Hot dog, you mean making a map to a smaller scale?
edit-wtf made me double post.???

Yea thats like insect scale versus rat scale. Some people make that scale of map though for counter strike. Its kind of annoying to spend an entire minute just walking across the floor or climbing a ladder but its also cool how tiny you feel. Maybe somewhere in between your scale and mine would be fine.
Its really cool that iv'e only used 16% light data and everythings pretty much done. So I will have lots of room for detail and secrets.
Edit-
Another thing to think about. Make sure if you have a wide screen monitor that its not set to wide because everything will really be skinnyer than it looks to you. I just made a guitar and didn't realize my wide screen was on so I have to stretch it wider.
Has anyone gotten started? post a wip.

hmm, that means 384 units= 1 foot. That would be "HUGE"...
My maps so realistic just laying on my bed looking at my monitor looks as though im looking into my room. I have a lot of ideas that are going to make this map really cool. Post your wip if any of you are doing one.
Im just so hyped on how fun its going to be to run around in my room when its super huge and theres secret ways everywhere. I already have some really good ideas in mind. Heres the final wip for today. I probably won't show anymore.
This would have made a good competition.
The walls and blanket are just fifties textures. The doors and carpet are mine though. Just google for textures or take some pics with a dig cam.
Awesome, glad to here your doing one too tet! My carpet is 112x112. I used somewhat blueish lighting. As for scaleage just measure your room and in hammer say this many squares on the grid at this size equals one foot. In my room I used 128 units equals one foot. Everything is almost exactly to scale except for the height because for some odd reason it looked a little bit too tall.
Well I guess it depends on your room but you can always make secret extra ways like through the walls and what not. Heres my first wip.
Theres a shotgun for scale.
When I want people to join the server at night and play my map i'll just say who wants to spend the night at my house!

I was just thinking and it would be cool if everyone made a rats version of their own room and we put them all in the server. You could make it to any scale that you wanted and add different paths everywhere. My closet leads to my attick so I would include part of it but make it look neater. Ill begin on mine soon, just need to find my digital camera charger so I can make all of my textures.
Edit-
Iv'e started working on my room and have already made all of the walls doors and windows. Ill post wip soon.

look up.
None of those are October/halloween related... Wheres the spirit?
I never get any errors unless there is an error in my map which I than fix. Its really pretty simple to set up.
Oh ok stride ill just check back in december. Thanks for the heads up... not.
Yall won't be doing anything for these? Wow thanks for telling us, I check the sight every day to see if the results are in. Seriously we all have lives. I know it takes longer for someone to make one entry than it does to judge nine and write reviews on them. I have college and work and a girlfriend and a very busy life yet I managed to get a huge map together on the deadline. Not only did I but eight other people, well seven and one late. All im saying is that nine people with busy lives of there own put aside things here and there to get there entry done yet two people that started it can't judge them in three times the ammount of time. Iv'e personally written reviews and judged every map thats hit the vault my self and feel that I know the order of best to worst. Its great that yall put these things together and I give yall that respect but this was a major let down.
Have yall even started judging?
whats yalls major malfunction! Get down and give me 20 .................................. dollars.
To compile I just hit f9 and viola!
I've never mapped for anything but halflife. The aztec theme is a good idea though and I was actually thinking of making one before but never got around to mapping for cz.
They've always been fine for me, though their dead body always freezes in some odd pose. Well looks like the only way to ever play against anyone in the server from now on is to schedule frag fests or let eachother know. We should start scheduling some events!
You should probably post some screen shots and sketches.
Is it just me or did like seven people just say the same thing? Its up to you my fellow twh eliens to create maps that make the server thus playworthy! Fetch thow chizels and stones and hack at it! In the mean time ill be planning out my new lost_technology. If there were a few more maps like hotdog's comp27 entry in the server, it would be a fun server to play in.
me too!
Alright I bought the desk! Stay tooned for meh update.
Im really proud of my tea pot I just made in ceramics "college course" so I wanted to post pics. I was instructed to make something out of coils but there such a waste of time so at home I made two pinch pots, put them together and than added the spout and handle and top. Now it just has to get fired and than ill glaze it!
Ill throw some cups for it after its fired. Just learned to throw today and I already made an awesome bowl. The handle on the pot was originally meant to have four slots for each finger but was too small so I made it for three and it was too small again so its only for two fingers. Im really thinking hard what colors to paint it, possibly shiny pearl on the inside. I may do something where I paint the ball light pink to look like a gum ball. 
-My next project believe it or not is a ventriloqist doll that can blink, move its eyes and talk and possibly move its eyebrows.

What the shiznit I didn't know that, wow!
Im addicted to TWHL! Really, I check out the site every day to see whats going on. Maybe im just anxious about the compo results.
Yea I didn't know there were things that hideous on this planet. Well when I was trying to get the pic of the weevil he flew onto my fan but I caught him and put him back in my air tight case. 
Eww hunstman spiders are freaking disgusting looking!
Alright you asked for it.
Thar beith the beast.
Alright you asked for it.
haha lol strider im sure you did'nt.
Alright lol I was about too but I was too lazy. gmme a sec 
So a few recent mornings i've waken up with some red itchy bites on me. Today I washed my sheets and blanket. My bro and I flipped my matress and looked under it for bed bugs or anything but didn't see anything. Than we searched all the cracks and everything until we spotted a weevil. I put it into a container and started looking stuff up on them. I wasn't sure it it was what had bitten me so we did a little test. we placed the wevil back onto my matress and it slowly strutted across it to its crack/ area inbetween the top cusion and the rest of my matress. I than had my brother turn off the light and I laid on the bair matress. Within five seconds my brother said it was coming for me. I suddenly noticed the little figure making its way towards my hand. My bro turned on the light and it began to panic. Than wings popped out and it tried to fly away but was probably to heavy from its previous feasts. Well that was freakishly gross and the poor weevil is now sitting in an air tight container until he dies.. I couldn't dare let it get into someone elses house, this one has a taste for blood!
Also forgot to mention, i've been having some very realistic and scary nightmares lately. Maybe had something to do with the evil weevil.

Ace ventura is freaking hilarious.
The latest star wars was really cool "The only one ive seen"
Yes manWas pretty good.
The new final destination was ok too, just because is was 3d. The only thing that sucks is that the 3d glasses have tint and its not the best thing to have in a dark theater, I don't know why there tinted it ruined the movie up because it was too dark.
Hmm i seem to have left outTHE LION KING and FINDING NEMO, what was I thinking
Oh snap, I just remembered my favorite gorry movie I used to always watch as a kid when it would come on tv. It had to do with this huge cotton factory or something that was haunted. People would get caught in the machine and squished and folded up and stuff. And the machine came to life and all kinds of stuff it was really creepy. Any one know what its called?

Sorry, no offense but this is really how I feel...
Im not the only one waiting. My dad keeps asking me about it along with the rest of my family and ex girlfriend. Prolly because every time they'd ask what I was doing I'd say I couldn't do anything because I was working on my entry...

I use icons too but there are many you can erase as you go like I do.
I was doing an architecture project where I started with a mouse as my background. Than once I completed two architecture projects "one was my entry for the comp." I changed it to a snake. Than I would do a bigger animal and so on but I got really sick of having a snake for the background so I sorta gave up on that. Unless someone can find me a cool pic of one
BUD LIGHT 
Thats pretty much how mine usually ends up looking. Ill post another pic later down the road once I get my new desk and upgrade stuff.

Im actually about to build one along with a desk. I want to see yours grim! ! ! I plan on starting a forum to post a video of your entire room like a miniature cribs but I have to clean it first well and build/buy furniture. And finish my teapot im making... I like your setup wc, it looks clean and sheak but a little cluttered, i'd move that comp to the floor like mine.
