Whatever happened to the idea that we would build our own sections of the hub to a set size and assemble it at the end? My entrance will probably need to be specific to my map.
Shrink the image down, and remove that whitespace if you're going to show whole images here from now on.
Haha.

Do i like short shorts?
Yes.
Yes.
Also, post a pic here so we can critique it.
So.. put one in? It won't matter if the player already has one or not seeing as he can do the maps in any order.
Dibs on the hydrogen tank, though i may change it a little bit to suit my theme and the hub.
I can't say i like where this central hub idea is going. It's supposed to be one room that connects the missions together, but people are trying to introduce too much story into it. It's a random collection of maps for people who want to play something a little different, not an epic quest to save the world from destruction etc. etc.

i LOVE short shorts... on women, yeah.. women.. not me. >_>
I have a small wad of custom HL-esque textures i've made over time, and i can easily edit the signs for whatever text people might need.. or edit some of the other HL textures that i haven't touched. My map probably won't be based in the HL world, so i may be using a more realistic texture set, but some of you may find my custom ones useful. 
Here's some examples (a few of these were used in my abandoned 'Renegade' mini-mod):

Yeah, the story behind these videos is a load of crap. That doesn't mean the videos don't have an actual effect on you, it's a combination of illusions, psychological tricks, and a real, physical impact on you.
As i said before, it's something away from the norm that plays with your head, makes you feel things that are and aren't there. The combination of the aural and visual oddities could be triggering mild headaches or strain to some peoples eyes, etc. etc.
There is an explanation for all of it.

Heh, just watched the videos, pretty tame really. Though i can see why people would be terrified of these, they play with your head.
The combination of unusual sounds (the music isn't structured as someone would normally expect) and even more unusual faces (they aren't life-like, and they don't move as you'd expect) plays on peoples fear of the unknown, quite a good illusion.
Easy to see through though if you dumb it down to what it really is: strange faces and eerie music similiar to most typical horror styles. I will admit the faces in the 3rd and 4th videos got to me though, when the music suddenly popped on (again, a typical horror style).

What that something is, I don't know.Blue/red/yellow keys akin to DOOM, of course.
Hehe, well i'm sure we'll think of something. I'm just not too fond of the idea that someone needs to complete another persons map in order to not get stuck on mine.
I think we should leave it up to the player what order he must complete the missions in, rather then needing this to access that in this map etc.
So we could give it a simple story, like you must collect an object in each level in order to escape the main hub, and you collect each of these objects via portals to different areas in different timelines and locations. Hell, it could be collecting all the parts necessary to engineer a portal out of the hub... or something.

No, it should have been in the recycle bin instead.
Heh, trust you to think of an alien theme, i think it'd rock if you went ahead with it. I'm looking forward to mapping a fun little set of maps, probably with a few TWHL-specific jokes and whatnot... maybe even some 'guest appearances'.
EDIT:
EDIT:
Why don't we use a Hub setting? A central map that connects all the levels using fancy gates/portals/whatever. Kinda like what Reissues uses.Nice idea indeed, i think it'd be great if we each mapped our own little hub section (of course they'd have a pre-determined size and shape so putting it together is easy). Mmm.
As far as i know it is for HL, Spirit would be good too. Oh and randomness = win.
Nice video, kinda cheesy use of music though. ;O
One day you have to combine all your temple style map packs into one giant mod. Would rock.

SO LIEK WEN DUS IT START????
Seriously, i'll be setting up my new PC any day now and a nice fun mapping project is the perfect thing to start it off with.
Also.. leaders? Who? How many?

It needs a couple of leaders who can manage while one or more are absent. Half-Life only is a good idea.
Woo, i'm interested in this. I'd love to help with textures too.

Oooh, i have an incomplete map set for HL1 that i have no use for, and some Source shit floating around.
Maybe this should happen.

Hmmm, good-o.
STRIDER!Oh yes, she's back.
Haha, i think you're one of the few people who noticed there was actually a truck in that shot. Everyone else just notices the 'headlights'.
I don't know if it's just me, but this one looks odd.

Ant doesn't fuck around when he does manage to play either! Somehow he manages to give me a few hard steel-capped kicks in the arse. :<

I dun like Justin Timberlike himself by any means--what's with that weak beard anyway?--, I just like the music--and so do girls apparentlyHaha, well here i am hating his music and enjoying one of his skits.
SNL - Dick In A Box
King's Crossing, A Fond Farewell, Junk Bond Trader, Son Of Sam, Can't Make A Sound and L.A. are some of my favourites, though i haven't listened to all of his albums.
