Brendanmint got in touch with me on steam last night, and let me know he made me a present (huge ep2 mod with4 maps!), but he also received nothing. His partner was dimbark i believe.

I'll still take the bonus present though! :P

One way you could battle the no-gifters next year, by having everyone just make generic gifts and then assign them to others at the very end?

Whoa that is some cool new features, even if i don't understand what half of them actually do! Which enhanced entities do you use alot?

I'll definitely be using vhlt the next time i have a goldsource project! Might be also fun to recompile some old maps, and compare compile times(i log my compile logs along with rmf backups).

BTW, can you furnish links for the fgd files you use for HL and CS?

NOT this:

I've tried adding this textlight:

Into these files:
cstrike.rad

And the radfile never processes, regardless of normal or expert compile. What else can i try to get it to work?

Prologue
On December 5, 2011, astronomers discovered Kepler-22b, the first planet known to orbit a single star within its Habitable Zone. In 2061, after 50 years studying and preparing to colonize the planet, a conglomerate of Earth Space Agencies was ready to launch the "Keystone IV", the largest, most expensive and most complex machine ever conceived - to travel to and colonize Kepler-22b.
The "Kepler-22b" Mapping Contest

Create a map containing the spaceship we send to colonize
Kepler-22b - either in space or at its launch pad.
You have exactly 40 days - Contest closes January 29, 2012.

Cash prizes and more for the top 6 spots!

Full Contest Brief here.
***

I realize most people here will be giving it a full go for Competition 32, but i still wanted to let you-all know in case anyone is interested!

Two great Mapping contests running at the same time, and both are offering great prizes?!.. NO WAI. :P

Yeah striker don't stress, i think your recipient will be forgiving if you map isn't a complete masterpiece (unless of course it's for me, then i will accept nothing less) :P

quite right stojkens, i din't see your post! And "racy" version is about the same size as gparted.

Also, in an emergency, could he take it to a Best Buy to have the geek squad use some of their fancy equipment to manually copy the drive, or would they rape him withdata recovery charges?

I almost never use the pointfile, and heavily rely on the big block method like rimmeh. I also use the big blocks for cordoning as well when necessary.

Holy crap, this is basically the competition i've been waiting for since i started playing CS and mapping.

The hardest part personally will be choosing which engine to map for, but i'd have to think i'm leaning towards Source.

ha yes =)

you shouldn't stress too much about worrying if your entry will work on someone else's machine afaik, long as you wad included your textures. (you're using compilator, right?)

If you really worried you can run resgen to give you a list of everything in your map to help check things.

Are you using compilator
