Its fine how it is now, a real improvement. And relaxing for the eye.
Yes, if your a student you can buy a official copy with a high discount. By doing this they hope to keep costumers, since they get there education with this program.
First of all you need to decompile your models to a smd archive(folder with all of the smd files). I only know how to decompile the models with milkshape, so i cant help you wiht that for max.
I assume you go the exporters, do you also have the required plugins to be able to import your .smd's (only the reference.smd). Otherwise you wont be able to edit anything since max doesnt have native support for .smd or .mdl files.

Search for the offcial modeling sdk, or it might be in the full sdk.
@7th, 1. If he has have max he should use it, its a fine program and outruns G-max at any part.
And the cuncurrent version of G-max is 1.2, not 6, Your probably confusing it with Discreet's Autodesk 3d Studio Max 6.
This article focuses on G-max, but you should be able to extract the required information for 3d Studio Max out of it.

Been a while, mostly playing battlefield 2, and also since yesterday earth 2150 : The moon project . Great game.
Im afraid your wrong there habboi, it is extremly buggy, but it works(fine) sometimes. I recall playing a map for Counter-Strike called cs_boatland2, or something very similair to that.
You probably put the entinity's the wrong way around.

I agree with the odd looking scottish guy over there.
I would worry much more about the Snarks, since they have a avarage live span of 20 seconds.
all you need is hammer, a fgd and a wad, you can compile your maps when your home.
Nice to see someone still remained untouched by the brainwashing techniques of jazhel.
Any of you remember carlos the jackal? Now that was a terrorist.
You probably can, i dont think they will object.
Nop, you cant add any extra rooms.
Yeah, im pretty fast and handy with vming my terrain in hammer 3.5.
scaling up dindt work, though the rocks do look better now.
Since i needed to start over again for the competition i went for a other look, at this point i compiled with alpha mask on some displacements, and as you can see it dindt came out well, it looks extremely scaled, not as how it looks in hammer 4.

Definately hl1, i can make good looking terrain quikly in hl1, though the displacements are fine in hl2, i just cant lose the hl2 feeling when mapping with it. Au contrait wiht hl1, in wich you can create a enviroment wich doesnt look like hl with the textures.
@drmapper, if you made a map yourselve you know what each entinity does. No need for names.
@zeg, making a good map is much more then "just putting a table and poster in a room".

YOu included a extremely annoying curve in the layout, can i delete that and make it 90 degree? Or something else that fits?
Im not in the mood of spending all the time to putting nodraw textures behind something. But theres no way around then 
Would it be ok if i'd put a box around my map with no draw texture on it? Or would it cause problems?
Offcourse i would need to skybaox my map on the normal way.

Oh crap, half of the map is made out of displacements.
Wich idiot designed this system....

So what your saying is that if i make a displacement map of the top of a brush i need to put a brush with nodraw behind it?
Trapt, the bali bombing was on the tv here in The Netherlands for weeks, so they do care to. Mainly because it was in a old colony of ours.
And yeah, somehow people dont give a shit that thousand die everyday in africa. But where all shocked of a few deads on london.
The irony of this world...

Somewhere i read that displacement maps dont block vis, if they dont, whay am i then able to compile my maps with vis and rad? And i also read that if water goes through a displacement map it wont show up. I do not know the reliability of these sources but is this treu, and if so how should i work around it then?
Terrorism is already cnetury's old, probably older.
Guy fawkes is one example.
And offcourse, we all knew this would happend, new york, madrid, now london. No surprise to me.

Still cant get the water to work, its there. you can hear and feel it. but it isnt visible, neither when i use buildcubemaps, so a few thigs left to figure out.

Yeah, but you always get this invisible barrier. Il find something for that i geuss.
Since we can widen paths etc the maps looks really cramped to me, i think you should be able to widen the paths.
So, dont oyu limit us a bit to much? Dont you get a horrible gameplay then?
Once created a fully controleble STOL aircraft. You could even drive it, it had a semi-nuclear powered jet engine. Then someone joined a server and started activiating thrushter, thus causing the vehicle to take control of itself and jettisoned it right into the sky, no traces left.
and offcourse my flying bed was fun, though it dindt have any control at all.
And i created a remote controlled jet powered light assault vehicle that had the possibilty to dive and reach great speeds on the land.

Few cirts on the textures:
It seems like you used a gradient for i dont know what, it creates a a light side on the left and a black side on the right, these textures are hardly useble since they dont tile, and also in some of the textures you defined the lightsource to much.
It also looks like you rendered some textures ore created them of a picture, since, one of these textures is :
{pi_benchside
Look closely at the grates and you can see that it has serval visible sides wich shouldnt be visible.
Overall most textures are good, very well done!

I always was able to indentify myself with the G-man, its fun locking people up in odd useless facility's and then cause total destruction!
Yes, i recall you.

Uuh, i cant imagine anyone sitting down in a public toilet. Though there must be people doing that.

Aye, i recall something wiht wcdude testing cheats. I think they should ban cheaters permanently. There crazy letting them wait a year and play again.

Pictures.
In a modeling tutorial pictures are the key of showing people what to do. Since modeling is different from mapping etc.

Im telling you, the messersmit 1 does not excist. Not as prototype nor as a prodution version. Your talking about the b-1 or the me-262.
Played a nice tune on my guitar, getting my stuff together and head for work now!
Tweaked and finishd the concept gun, only skinning and uvmapping left.
