~What made you start mapping in the first place?
From memory, I began after watching my brother creating some maps for Half-Life (pretty basic stuff). I'd also seen him make one or two things in Duke Nukem 3D, which probably caught my intriege. It seemed interesting enough, so I eventually tried my own hand at it.
Going from my crappy memory, after realising that I didn't really know what I was doing, I started looking for some tutorials. I believe I pretty much stuck with the ones I found either on Vlatitude69 (or whatever the site was called) and here, TWHL. Eventually I stopped visiting Vlat and just came here, even after I pretty much stopped mapping. I still dabble.
~What was your first map?
Never really released any maps. I never quite make anything I'm happy enough with.
~Where did you get inspiration for your first map?
Probably a mix between my brother, Half-Life, and whatever popped out of my brain.
~To who did you show it & how did they react?
No-one. My mapping has pretty much just been for me.
~Your advace to future mappers/current mappers?
Take things one step at a time.
Have some idea of where your map is going before you make too much.
Not being a tool is an amazingly effective way of getting better help.

You didn't "invent" that trick, Brucey. It's a pretty simple concept.
I would like to take the water texture I made and animate it.
I just explained to you how to make animated textures.
Nothing in your post says anything but basic information on a animated texture.Contradictions.
Sexy, I like. My only real gripe with that would be the host of tree clones, but it still looks good. I'd play it.
I don't drink much coffee, and when I do, it's just plain coffee as far as I'm concerned. I don't know the difference between any of the coffee types, let alone what they are.
There's very little to suggest these people have any experience with guns at all. Despite what it might seem, you can't just find a gun and start firing accurately under pressure without any experience.

If cs_747 was cs_A380, you could at least have two different paths through the plane, what with A380's having two levels and all.
I'm making a map, but I'm not entering. I just like the idea.
The problem is that with Minecraft and games like it, there's only so much you can do. Kill the Enderdragon, build an awesome construction... you're pretty much done. It's not suprising that people start playing less.

Ah, it was cool. Though the elaborate looking door wouldn't open, maybe I did something wrong.
I just couldn't remember who made it =P

SpaG, I guess. If not, I don't have a clue.
Archie, maybe?
This secret santa map is verry familiar. I think (part of) it might have been in the Rooms. Seems kinda JeffMOD-y... Could be wrong.
Ah, so there was a reason Castle town had been lit up.
I assume.

Yeah, A. Let's be individuals and not follow everyone else.

Shall we all start earlier next year? =P
And I'm not saying I'm high and mighty, I was feeling the time pressure too.

Almost missed this completely. Damn starting st 5am. I wake around 9 atm.
Ok, what's a good uploading site then?
Remind me how we get the maps to you, Tet. E-mail?
Basically, shut up.Think you missed that bit. No-one gives a sh*t what you're trying (and failing) to say. All you do is say something stupid, someone points it out, and you write a damn novel trying to justify it. You do it every time.
On track. Whether or not there's any truth behind any theories or speciulation, I won't really be excited 'til I hear proper official news. Preferrably in the form of a release date other than "when it's done".
Discussion of illegally pirated software and warez of any sort on the forum is terms for immediate suspension of your account.
I'd just like to point out that he actually did.
That makes at least two regular members he's been a dick to. Wonder how long people are gonna put up with it.

The next few days, I should have lots of time I can and will dedicate to mapping for this. I'll try to make it look pretty where I can, but that really won't be the focus of the map.
And NO, dicks aren't involved.

I imagine it would feel bloody weird if you (Urby) were running around with that guy.
Where do you live, Tet? Not sure I've seen your place.
EDIT: Found it, I didn't realise that was someone's house.
The wool store is finished (if a little understocked, but hey, not my concern).

Probably not, Stu, seeing as the camera did have a movement speed set and path_tracks didn't work either. Oh well, I can change it.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Followed the tutorial to the letter, but it doesn't work. The camera looks at the train, and the train is definitely moving with the camera still tracking it. However, the camera itself does not move from where it was placed in the map to its track.
Obviously both the train and the camera are triggered, and the first path_corner is definitely correctly referenced in the Trigger property of the trigger_camera. So how come it isn't moving to the track?
Any help greatly appreciated, as I want to use these in my Secret Santa map.

Working on the wool store, but without donations it's going to be a lot of waiting on sheep to get out of love mode. Really like what's happened to the town, it's becoming a really nice little community.
Just one thing though. It's a castle town. Castle implies medieval. So where's the tavern?? Minecraft really lets the town down with its lack of alcoholic beverages. Potions of strength are about as close as it gets.

Mine was always going to be nice and simple.
Me. It's not finished, obviously.
Is there any particular time that TWHLers congregate on the server? The most people I've seen at one time was about 4, myself included.
Some seeds I found searching for one I liked:
"alatreon" - Some very impressive mountains/cliffs.
"rathalos" - Spawns near a quaint little village flanked by a large swamp and some nice mountains. Actually quite nice-looking.
"great baggi" - Spawns on a smallish cresent moon-shaped island with some smaller ones next to it. Otherwise, no land in sight at all.
"royal ludroth" - Fine balance between snow and woods with plenty of goodies around.

One good thing about this compo is that it isn't limited in number. You can slap a new theme onto it and it's a new compo.
Full release today, I believe.
Not big enough
Not starting 'til I'm completely done with school. Which will be soon.. But it may be longer 'til I actually start mapping. But I've got a pretty simple idea that should work well.
Ok, thanks. So that's what that "rock the vote" thing was.
That's 5 in the morning... might be a bit more of a stretch to make it, but might make for a longer game.

I love playing HLDM with you guys, and as long as other people keep showing up, you can bet I'll be there every monday at 7am (my 9pm GMT) and probably any other time people try to arrange stuff.
EDIT: Completely inexperienced here. What are some useful commands we can use? Also, are you looking into getting the map rotation to work properly?

this thread. It was subsequently closed.
Tripmine and satchel antics when almost everyone had left.
They should just make prisons like I do.
Imageshake, lol.
Fixed, lol.
Aww, I liked it, it sounds awesome.

May I suggest an update? http://twhl.info/servers.php
I won't be able to get involved right now... but someday soon, hopefully.
9pm is 7am on a monday here, apparently. I think I can work with that =P

The biggest issue is that the game explains absolutely NOTHING to you about how anything works.That's more or less why I never really got into Oblivion. I just seemed to throw you into the deep end.
I'm wishing similar things as Archie. But maybe just that the human race wasn't so f**king stubborn rather than having a way to escape.
end.
Penguinboy comes in here and closes up this shop, like well he should.
Unfortunately this competition has completely coincided with the end of school. I've been concentrating solely on school lately. So by the time I'm done, I'd have around a week to compete against people with two months. And that'd be assuming I wasn't doing any sort of finishing-school...activities.
