The revelations was a little too confusing for me.
If you don't believe in religion than do you just believe that you are an overly smart animal that evolved to your state? Just think about what is around you. Do you not believe that good dooers should be rewarded and that evil dooers should be punished or dealt with? Does everyone deserve the same thing? Does someone that murders people deserve what someone that helps people stay alive deserve? Is their really a higher being out there whom of which is of all good and deserving? Well you probably won't know for sure until you die. If there is something out there you will probably find out but if not, it won't matter because your existence and mind and soul would simply vanish forever. I personally believe in God because I have already been rewarded on earth more than I deserve and I am always comforted and seemingly helped with prayer. 
I am christian and actually catholic but I only believe in God and the bible so it really doesn't matter what you call yourself. I don't want to convert anyone to my religion but only have one request that can't really hurt. Just pick up a bible and read the Genesis at the beggining. Its very interesteing. If you want to go on to something else even more interesting flip over to mathew and begin reading. Don't turn something down without giving it a chance.

That being getting medical attention but praying doesn't hurt. Miracles have been blessed upon people even that I know.
CT, did u get my message?
That would be cool to put all of our ships in the same map next to eachother like in the same garage or something. That would be a fun way to judge, that is if they will all fit in the same map.
Makes cool maps. Seems to be a pretty positive person. I think hell become an awesome mapper if he keeps at it. His name always makes me think of him as a fat hawaian, i don't know why..
My ship will be done eventually and ill post it when it is. Are we the only two that came this far with this?, Tet u still mappin yours?
What version of halflife do I need to allow masked models? Ive tryed converting it to the right version before but it didn't work.
Well thats why we'd set up events. This would be great inspiration to make some really fun cool maps! It'd be inspiring for everyone. Try to make a map thats cool enough to want to be played by all of the TWHL members. I have some really neat stuff in mind... Obviously no good deatmatch maps appear in the vault for a reason/ because no ones going to play them. Anyways// ive been working on a map that includes bounces, conveyors, awesome doors, vertical gameplay, surfing!!!, and just ways to constanly move that would make for some awesome gameplay. I am going to start completely over on the map but use what ive learned in the map I was working on. On parts that you can surf "sloped brushes" conveying arrows >>> boost you to go flying around the map. Tons of paths will beable to be taken to never lose momentum. Awesome gameplay and appearance= 
That was a random rant but all im thinking is that I want to create an awesome map to be played but not if no ones going to play it.. This is probably how a lot of people feel.

Looks like tons of work went into that thing. That'd be cool if you'd post it in the unfinished maps section..
Yea thats something like what I was thinking. Well we just need to find out how much it costs to host one and how many people will contribute to see if its worth it. So far im in..
Is anyone still working on their entry? Im not really but I will finish it eventually. Heres a little progress, windshield opens and closes and player fits inside.
Lets get the server running again! Just set up some way where we can transfer money to the account of woever pays for the server. All who will chip in say I. Hopefully if enough people would do so, it would be really cheap. I really wouldn't mind paying five bucks a month..
This is a pretty good idea but should be handled fairly. Obvious crap should be removed. Also, I wish there was a way to just not allow spam maps in the vault at all. It seems like no good maps appear anymore, just killboxes or first map junk. I really believe that if TWHL would host its server again and advertise deathmatch events, many great maps would come to the vault. If you guys will just set up some kind of paypal account that we all who agree pitch in monthly to pay for the account, i'd chip in! Just start a new thread asking who will help pay for it. Other wise there seems to be no reason to make hldm maps anymore.. Who wants to put such effort into a great map when a bunch of idiotic half afk retards are most of what you find in random hl servers. If the server comes back, I will promise to make 
five 
awesome "hopefully top map" deathmatch maps for it!
Or perrrrhaps we could do something really interesting. If the server came back, wouldn't it be really cool to have TWHL's next competition to make a deathmatch map for the server? I know map a deathmatch map has been done in the compo before but this one would be different because its purpose is to be played in the server. Playability along with everything else that makes the map fun and enjoyable and pretty would be considered in the judgement. Think how many cool maps would come out of this that could be played in the server..

Wheres a place I can host a sound file? Filefront is down.
I just started composing some music in fruity loops so maybe I could try to make a theme song. Let me know exactly what you want/ Dif music for each map? Or just one maine ambient song..
What do you want done to it? Some people aren't good at certain things like for example, Ive never made sprites...
Rounded off wings...
Yea not much progress but its hard with a job, college and a gf. But we just broke up so that gives me an extra... billion hours a week
Alright I just mapped out a basic stencil for my ship..
H3x//_T4ct())R\\_
The wings will be rounded off and smoothened. The windshield will be much more detailed. Im not sure if the player will fit inside it but you most likely will and the windshield will open in a unique way. This is only a stencil. I originally named the ship the "raptor" but decided that the name would be more suitable for a more straight and sharp edged ship. This ship is called the hextactor. This is all im going to map for right now because I have a trig test tom and stuff to get done before spring break but I hope to put some hours into it sometime soon..

I just tried it in the mod. format and my hl crashed..
WRARRRRR, ... did anyone see my pink sock?
If I mapped a ship i'd prolly map the juggernaut from warcraft.
Lol according to your scale, the ship would be 2,816 units long. Thats almost half the mapping void in distance! That would be a sight..
Yea when I made my metroid hunter, I had to make the chair func_illusionary to fit. Im going to make this ship from scratch. I want to make a neat way to enter and exit it.
Yea after lots of autocad drafting I ctrl z just about everything. I think I tried it on my last beer once when I drank too many.. 
Man that looks really good so far! Nice brush work.
Haha thats tight daub!
Yea I love my dell keyboard! My speakers' bass vibrate my entrire room! And my screen is really light.
Check out my new Gateway 22" monitor. (1680x1050) resolution for only 200 bucks! Also I baught some logitec X-240 speakers with a 15 watt subwoofer for 55 bucks. Shooting the shot gun is amazing. Shooting the revolver on halflife 2 !!!blows you away!!! I really recommend people go to bestbuy and spend the 250 to get a set up like I have. Im very pleased with my monitor because unlike other flatscreens I have seen, this one gets very bright if you wish and comes in extremely clear. My mouse is a 20 dollar microsoft lazer mouse I got from walmart. It is very smooth and comfortable to the hand. What a change this is from my fat old 13 inch monitor and crappy sound system I picked up at a garage sale that harldy worked!
Wow awesome work so far man. If I can just get away from my busy schedule I can start on mine. Just remember that judgement will be focused on the ship itself but the more you put into it the more impressive it will be.
yea it says nervouse.
Ok, I resubmitted my entry with my hallways RMF. So you can either try to compile them with my map or just attach them to someone elses room. If you do attach them to someone elses and you need more doors just copy and paste the ones from my room "They have different names and everything."
Well maps in w/ out halls... Check it out.
Well I erased my hallway and it worked. Maybe theres something wrong with it.. Or maybe im just at max clipnodes, ill mess around. Earlier it sayd light data was at 100.2%.. I do have lots of text lighting in my map..
Sweet, I will as soon as I fix my room entry and submit it..
Ive been done with my room all day but I just keep running into a rad error and it compiles full bright.. Its hard to fix because it takes 8 minutes to compile everytime.
vereh nice.
Thanks, worldcrafter and skal's first ones are my favorite two!! Daubster's depicts my nightmares. Striker fails at life.
Goldsource.. Source just takes too long to compile in my opinion and some people's comp. cant handle it. Well I guess if you wanted you could start a thread for a source one.Im doing gold.
Lets just save "map a seaborne"ship for next time..I would almost rather map a sea ship myself but I think we should all map the same thing so that we have other space/ flying ships to compare to...
Design a flying aircraft/spaceship.
(1)You may choose to map either exterior, interior, or both.
(2)The ship must atleast appear to fly and be enterable/ operable by someone.
(3)Size of the ship can vary from a small single person craft to an entire interior map of a ship.
(4)Judgement will be based on functionality, brushwork, form, creativity, impression, and overall skills used to create the ship.
(5)Be creative! Look at all of the ships mentioned above for inspiration, all of them are acceptable entrances to this competition.
(6)Judgement method and deadline will be discussed soon. Start as soon as possible to give yourself as much time as needed. Estimated deadline will be two to four weeks.

[blue]Start mapping![/blue]Because than it would be hard to judge...I'd rather make something that everyone else was. Lets just save "map a seaborne"ship for next time..
I don't care, that theme just happened to win. Lets just have a vote, map a seaborne ship or airborne. I would actually rather map a seaborne..
No lol. Than id submit my metroid prime hunter ship 
. The point of this comp. is to get you to map something new. 
"weird, ive never seen that before muzz, looks cool." Ima finish up my room entry reall quick so I can start on my ship.

Yea its a "mini" compo, all of the judgement will be focused on the ship itself. Gameplay is always a cool touch though. Well time to begin sketchin! When I wake up tomorrow that is. 
Oh yea and check out "srry's" ship. He only mapped the interior.
Oh yea and check out "srry's" ship. He only mapped the interior.Based on kraken's
Check out my metroid ship, muzzleflash's beans with bacon ship, and Tlax's space lasercore ship(refresh the front page until you see it in the "top maps") for inspiration.
MAP YOUR DREAM AIRCRAFTAnd rim's
I vote for Map a Ship. I want to try my hand at designing a space transport or similar.It is a flying/space ship. So what should there be to limits besides what hammer can handle? Just map a "ship" And whoever's is the "neatest, coolest, most creative and aspiring wins.
