Bah Humbug!
We did Run a TWHL based Mod, Andy was involved, so was SlayerA, and myself... And it all failed.
Unless you've got a firm base for your mod, don't bother.
sigh
Alas. "The Project" was not to be.

Keep working on it. Kinda reminded me of my very early work... 
Then grit your teeth and download it over 56k at home. That's what i did.
wow - looks so sweet!

Best advice i can give is: Make whatever you like / liked.
If you liked shooting down headcrabs with the RPG, then make maps where you shoot headcrabs with RPGs...
If you liked the way something jumped out in a game or a film, try to replicate it in your maps. Don't blatantly copy ideas, make them your own.
Einstein once remarked that, the most original & new ideas are simply well structured and covered up old ones.

I'm counting everything: buying components, "homework" deliverytimes, not just assembly. I can "Put together" a pc in 5 minutes yes, but actually building it from scratch - getting components etc.. That takes way too long.
err... it takes more than a Half Hour to build a PC... :
err.. just do this: Draw a brush from point A to point B, and look at its width / height. There. You've got distance. Just make sure to take the right length...
Ok.. as far as choice, i'm pretty limited: its a dell...
But if Athalons + DDR1 make your game 10fps faster than and Intels with DDR2.. that's not really much of a problem.
The PC will be mostly used for "work": Macromedia stuff for web / Photoshop / Maya / MathLAB / Autocad / HL?
I think i'll settle on the Dimension 9150 : with a few better components, i'm getting rid of 2 year's worth of warranty - if anything breaks (and eventually it will) i'll spend the same ammount on parts as i would on the warranty - but the parts i'll get would be better than replacements.
Total price ?1,338.03 (with 19'' display and a "free" printer i can eBay later)
If i build my own with that ammount of cash, i'll be spending time, and i have very little of that.
I think once i get a solid PC that can do a fair job of anything i throw at it - from compiling & rendering to Movies & HL? - i'll build my own after that.
Thanks for all the comments!

I like the "asia-man" Gman "Me lav u long time 
"
"Me lav u long time "I don't think dell "Does" AMD...
But - will that machine manage Lost coast (well)?
i'll be abusing this machine with HL? for years ...

why does it have to be a dell?Whatever i get, it;ll be 21% cheaper than advertised
That's why i have to get Dell...Ok.. i've my eye on a "Dimension 9150 (D12917)"
Actually, with the discount, i could get the price to ?1337
lol:
Intel? Pentium? D 830 (3.0GHz, 800FSB, 2X1MB Cache)
256MB nVidia GeForce 6800
1024MB Dual Channel DDR2 533MHz (2x512) Memory
320GB Serial ATA RAID 0 Stripe [2x160GB 7200rpm drives]
16x DVD+/-RW and 48-32x CDRW
19'' Flat Panel Display..
And other misc stuff (mouse.. etc)
If its "Bad" just because its Dell, then - well for those specs and that price...
I think that's great! Your thoughts?
:
This calls for some more pondering...
Thanks for your comments so far

heh - saves a lot of copy & pasting. 
That's some nice automation
I like it.

Ok - i'm getting a new PC - and it has to be a DELL - i won't go into the details of "why"
So, from what any of you know, what's the best option? Nothing too expensive now.
I want to be able to play HL? (at "lost coast" quality preferably )
So, any past experiences will be more than welcome.

I'd air on caution and get some new fans. Some cheap ones.
Quirky naming

Looks interesting - keep working on it.

ok... i'm silly - just noticed the "Big-screen TWHL" checkbox in "Modify Profile" page..
Yea - sounds good.
I can't say i 'll have time to enter, but i'll try.

Don't really know what else. My Russian teachers are buying me some Ukranian kiddy books, though.Thay are ALL good. i have some myself actually ( i stayed at 4-th class level Russian.. i'll have to remedy that soon.. before i forget.)
I don't like the small avatars that much - i liked my oversized eye - but on second thought - its kinda nice.
And yes - Bring on TWHL3

And don't forget ot run your compiled map in Op4 instead of HL ...
I'd like to play them both to be honest - Doom III and Q4 
keep regular backups of your work - and train yout left hand to press CTRL+S at every few brushes..
THe important thing there is to keep those backups safe.. on a separate drive someplace.

Heh - good old gordo also fails to take any damage from a fall when falling on the thinest pool of water or a steap edge.. just bounces off...
And Has no feet.

Yea - HL has its own "Feel"
MAking any new textures would destroy it.
Using Blueshift or OP4 textures is ok i think - they have the same "HL feel"

Lookin' good. But the extended screenshot seems a bit too bright. maybe make it more gloomy
Wow - that's pretty cool. i'm keeping my eye on this

Might have been one of those "failed" mods. Looks nice, had lots of promice, but died.
Prime examples: Project: Genesis then HL: Isolation and Dark Truths they all looked amazing but never materialised into anything more than some sweet looking screenshots...

Looks nice, but still a bit boxy. And don't Scale Up Poke646 textures - that's criminal!
That Eating thing looks just nasty... More Blood on the walls and floor!

oo.. C
How Hammer prioritises WADs?
Well - from experience, it can be random Just so you don't get bored mapping.
It gets REALLY confused if you have the same texture name in 2 different wads. Don't Do it kids!

Ack! GiMP is better. Or "Invest" some "bandwidth" into Photoshop
Prefabs: No thanks - make your own.
But what would be nice is a Showcase Section for showing off WIP.
And its nice to see some things have not changed...:

No offence but I used to think Rabid was cool till well, lets just say he changed.
No offence but I used to think habboi was cool till well, lets just say his true form came outHaha! Pointless banter galore!
It's the wad's fault. Make sure that when you compile, the wad file has the proper textures - and that your map files reference the wads (just check to see if you have the wad in Hammer)
And yes, there's plenty of other stuff in the Archives.

Yea.. I'd really like to [Play? use?] that Mod... Disect some Combine. Mmmm Sexy. 
I like the idea a lot - kinda like the New wave of "Training" stuff being made in Games. Like that surgery thing in HL?

You know, you can just stay fro the people you do like, and ignore all the rest - like me. Do you honestly think i read everyone's posts?! NO!
Oh, and BTW: I like the new smilies...
HAHA!
Sorry.. gone off topic. I'll get back to mapping.

Open the door Jehovah you whoreErr.. just kidding:
I am the servant of who rules this world
Archnemesis of your light
One look at me and you know he is I
Run away when confronted with Satan
Always here and forever will be
Your concern for my Lord is becoming
Defecate on your book of belief
Door to door soliciting war
Feeble man with salvation as sword
Disturb and see you will die
For I am of Him in his world you're confined
Why try? World dies, christ hides
When Satan rules his world
Disease, run free, killing
When Satan rules his world
Religion, infliction, obscene
When Satan rules his world
Witness, dismissed, executed
When Satan rules his world

A full 2 day's worth of mapping yeilds just about 15 to 20 seconds of gameplay. 
Oh, and i've started with Milkshape and models. Over there, a day's work is more like 2 seconds, but at least you can use the same model over and over - unlike maps.
