I'm buying it retail strictly because I want the DVD, I have HL2 and EP1 on DVD, and i'm not going to miss EP2 on DVD. It'll probably be $90-100 but I really do not care, I pay the same amount for any other game every couple of months, and i'm getting 3 in one package.
While it is a great deal cheaper on Steam I'm just not willing to pass up an actual, physical copy of it in case of.. y'know, problems. Waiting 8 extra days is no problem either.

I don't even want to see where this ends up going.
It's probably not so much that it's hard, it's that it's a much longer and more aggravating process to make custom content. The majority of good quality custom content for Source is devoted to major mods at the moment, too.
It's just the way it is for the moment.

Well it seems there's plenty of interest in this compo, that's good news.
I love the way you've been practically telling him how to make his mod.
Get on topic or i'll ban you!!!
I'm curious, how many people are looking to join this competition? I'm just looking for some initial figures here seeing as i'll be one of the people judging.

I predict it'll be done somewhere between now and never.
Pretty much. There's quite a bit of freedom to play around with this layout, as such there shouldn't be many problems with finding a suitable theme.
The alcoves in green are optional additions, and are examples of where the layout can be varied slightly without breaking the rules.They can be walkable space, but they shouldn't really be anything more than minor additions to the layout, such as closed doorways or archways (so no stretching corridors, vents, etc.). Or, if you wish, they could be lookout points for vistas. It's up to you.
Ooh, I gotta' add The Monkey Island games and Sam & Max Hit the Road to my last list. ScummVM ftw.
Mostly ;P
I used some of them in that corridor map I never got around to finishing.

Heh, mapping for this is a load of fun. And being viewed from only one angle opens up more opportunity (visually) for cool little effects.
I started working on this little map earlier today. It's still early, but playing around in-game is highly entertaining.

Dear lord, this thread is killing my internet connection.
Are pictures really necessary? They should at least be limited to something very small.
Games i've played and love:
Wolfenstein/Spear of Destiny,
Doom (1, 2 and 3),
Mario Bros/Smash Bros/Melee,
Banjo Kazooie (1 and 2),
Goldeneye/Perfect Dark,
Quake/Quake II/Quake II (not IV),
Max Payne (1 and 2),
Splinter Cell series (even the sloppy recent one),
Unreal Anthology,
Serious Sam (1 and 2),
Half-Life/Half-Life 2 + Episodes,
Bioshock.
Games i'm playing now or looking forward to:
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars,
The Orange Box,
Halo 3 (Yes, you read that correctly, and no, I don't like the first one),
Call of Duty 4, maybe.
Older games I never got into, but am trying to now:
All the old C&C games,
Metal Gear Solid,
Paper Mario (<3),
System Shock II.

So very cool, I have it all set up and I'll start working on something soonish. Making it open to all mappers is very nice of you.

To all members: Please don't jump in to insult and deliberately make matters worse - the mods will sort this out.
Hah, what an awesome little mod idea, i'd definately love to lend a mapping hand when you've got all the necessary files up.
I hate you both...
But yeah, if you're lucky, I might.

Yes, you can use IRC in Opera by default. You need to go to Tools, then Mail and Chat accounts to set it up.
There's no need to install a program like mIRC when it's all handily built into your web browser.
And to all future #twhl users: prepare yourself with a wicked sense of humour, you will need it.

Never got into NS, don't much care for the Source one, either. Sven-Coop is a lot of (pointless) fun, though I haven't played it in some time.
And now you're guilty of not doing anything yourself.
Jokerboy: You'll need the Source SDK to begin with, from there you can create a mod base for which all your custom content should go into.

You'll never get anywhere using MS Paint. I strongly suggest you move to a program like Photoshop or Fireworks... or even GIMP (though I hate it so) if you're unable to 'aquire' the other programs.
Do so and watch your productivity FLY.

You'll be able to do so in TWHL3, until then, you may just have to stick with zip's.

In Steam, go to Games > Activate a product on Steam.. then use your Platinum collection CD-Key.
Unfortunately, this means you'll have to redownload the Steam version of Half-Life and it's expansions, so your current non-steam installation is useless when it comes to Steam.

Y'know, that actually sounds like a round-about way of saying "I can't".
Perhaps you should explain yourself, to clear the matter up?

You just pointed out something that is entirely pointless.
I find programs like CodeStuff Starter and Process Explorer, when used in conjunction with sites like Process Library are handy tools to have around for when certain bad files get too deep, when you need to understand exactly what processes are doing what, or when a program needs to be forcefully closed (taskmanager can be terribly ineffective).
Diskeeper is a great defrag utility, it has more options than the typical windows tools, but i'm not sure if it has Vista support yet. It's also good for optimising your paging file size to minimise file fragmentation as much as possible. And lastly, TuneUp Utilities is a good all purpose system cleaner, it can do basic registry clean-ups, memory optimisation and integrity checks, again though, i'm not sure if it's Vista compatible yet.
I'm sure you're more than aware of the various virus scanners and such, so I won't go into those.

NO. Just... no.
I myself don't like the name and I don't like the logo, and i'm not too fond of Carpocolypse300's design either. And it's not to spite anyone - it's because of my tastes.
Srry has an opinion, and people should just shut up and let him have it. I don't want to see some ridiculous spam-fest come about in this thread.

Every single Source mod (with an exception or two) had at least 1/3 of the already overused and fuck-boring default eastern european models and textures. TF2 is something fresh and I love that.Amen to that. It's new, and it's bold. Seems only fair that the gameplay should be tweaked/perfected to match it.
I might be in, not sure. I have a smidge of an idea I'm working on.
So... you created a thread to point out a problem that you already found a solution to? Did you even try refreshing the SDK or resetting the game configurations?
Feck yes! Sniper is aussie!

I'm buying it retail because BOXES RULE.
I kind of agree. I would say that as long as Vending Machines play the key role, then it's worthy of submission, but it's up to MuzzleFlash.
I'm glad you sorted this all out, reading back made me want to Kablam! this thread into oblivion.
I just read that FF review and all the screens looked incredibly dull, I swear it use to look better. They've gone and uggo'd it up. :

It's the second show since they're mid-year break, and yeah, the future of the show is a little in doubt at the moment. One of the people charged is the executive producer of the show.
I'm a little worried they'll be given a harsh sentence so that the Police can show they mean business, but it's also a case of the Police just being red-faced from their security being breached so easily.
Who knows, we'll need to wait until October 4th to find out what will happen.

TF2 all the way! I might try FF sometime later, but yes, it does look far too much like HL2.
Muzzleflash: Use a deadline. Ending it when only a few people have submitted theirs is kind of unfair on the slower people, i've always thought. 3 weeks seems pretty fair.
How about for once people actually help out simehong2000? His questions here are by no means hard to understand.
I don't know much about where to find CS resources myself, but there are plenty of people here who are into CS and can help you.
