What's Elon on about CD burners costing 100 dollars? I can get one here in the states for under 20. It can't be that bad everywhere else, can it?
This is turning into a dickfest. Please stop.
And yeah, you stretched the forums, but at least it wasn't done with a 700Kb image.

It's not obvious at all why you named it after Trapt. You never said in the description that there was no reason for you using it, and it doesn't make any sense at all why you have. Plus, it's going to get confusing as hell, with the two conflicting names and all.
By the way, don't you think this sounds just a bit too much like TWHL Mix 2, without the people actually making their own maps?

Errr... I don't get it. What does out resident hater Trapt have to do with this mod?
Okay, I'm serious now. I'm not sure it's the best program out there for the job, but Nero has a ton of tools for burning and stuff, and I'm absolutely certain I've seen this feature in it.
Oh, and it's completely free, but only if you have the right connections. Preferably the kind that don't block certain programs.

I've found that Ant's method works the best.
Oh man, when I asked that last question, I must have been really tired, or oblivious to the comments around me. Yeah, I know who Adam Savage is. It was in part the way it was phrased ("your Savage", and notice I said "a Savage", as if it was a creature or something) that screwed me up. Were there different versions or something?
And as far as I know, that's part of the graphics engine, which Valve never released the code for.
Maybe somebody could fill me in on what a Savage is?
I've heard in some tutorials that you should always place player spawns at least 128 units apart.
I want to see it... 
Elon: That's an accurate recreation of Arcan. 
Penguinboy lies. It was started in late 2004 or 2005, if I remember correctly.
Saying to link to your damn images (or post smaller ones that don't stretch the thread to an insane length, and slow my browser down) is pretty constructive, if you ask me. And for the last time, I DON'T HAVE 56k!!!
Arcan: Saying that doesn't help too much. You may not agree with me or my sense of humor, but that doesn't make my opinion any less valid than yours. I don't find it very funny or interesting, and that's not some "problem" I'm having right now, that's just how I feel about it.

You kidding? Liberty City is WAY smaller than San Andreas was. About one third the size, probably smaller. Assuming this is a recreation of the original, with no additional cities added on, it should be about the same size as the original, albeit with much more interior room.
Someone from Rockstar said in an interview a while ago that it was their goal to make the environment much more compact, as they felt San Andreas was too spread out to move around easily. I can't say I feel the same way, but that doesn't change what Rockstar is going to do.

Well, I had several long and boring talks with God, but this was undoubtedly the paramount of our conversation:
What are we talking about? What were we?
Me:
We were not talking about anything
God:
And then what happened?
Me:
You rammed a ten foot iron dildo up your ass.

I don't think player models have ever been the strong point of GTA (the civilians were always butt ugly), but I think the other aspects of the game make up for it sufficiently. At least the models have higher resolution textures now.
After reading it, I kinda have to agree with Trapt (ZOMG!) Your posing and everything was all very nice, but it was just sort of boring, and I found neither amusing nor particularly inspired. Also, it seriously lacked any continuity. I couldn't tell what was going on, most of the time.
Yeah, seen it. I'm a tad disappointed they couldn't give us a whole new city (I was hoping it would be London), but I suppose as long as they recreate it from scratch, it'll be a fairly new experience.
Yeah, or if you want to fit something like a control panel texture to a small brush perfectly. You've really just got to learn where it's appropriate to use... like everything.
Larry: Shut. Up. About. Internets. Thanks. 
Hunter: I'm talking about how many huge images he posted. I didn't really read any of the comics (no time), but I don't doubt their quality.
Ugh... Mods will have to delete this, I guess. You could try using some links next time, eh?
Oh my fuck. What have you done?
OMGHAI2U!
Yeah... Right along with the rest of that map, actually.
No they wouldn't, not unless there was a brush lower than the floor brushes being extended upwards at the same time.
What? He specifically said NOT to use fit. Not only that, there's usually no way to get those values equal again after you've fit a texture to something. Why are you even recommending it in the first place? Fitting is a bad practice, plain and simple.
And Kman, what problems are you having making walls? Just select one, and drag it out to whatever size you need. There's no reason to use multiple wall sections if you're just going in a straight line, with the same height, and the same texture.

How about I write one? I could sure use a tutorial award in my profile, unlike you. 
Try to keep textures scaled at 1.00 as much as possible. this is the default scale anyway, so just don't change it, unless you're making large outdoor areas (in which case you should make things like rocks or dirt 2.00.)
Something you might also notice is that if you clip a wall at an angle, or use vertex manipulation to get it that way, it will stretch the texture out a lot. There are several ways to fix this, but a good bet would be to open the texture application tool, select the stretched face, and check the "face" box.

Your 3D view isn't showing too much there, but from what I can see, your walls are all over the place, possibly not even on grid.
Well, it is a very bad practice to do that, but he did say he overlapped them. So even if he does have screwy brushwork techniques, it shouldn't be a problem in this case. Although, to be sure of this, I would really have to see it firsthand.
Indeed. I don't know a single mapping site that doesn't have one, but I could swear we did... maybe it's part of a another tutorial, or just not marked well?
Yeah, and I just found this on VERC:
The Big Block MethodI guess TWHL doesn't have any tutorials on leaks? :
If your level is especially large and you're having difficulty tracking down your leak, you might benefit from using the "Big Block Method" of leak tracking. What this is essentially, is you covering a large portion of your level with a solid block (make sure it goes completely through from top to bottom). A recommended size is a quarter of your level.
Place the large block over a portion of your level, then attempt to compile. Move the block to a new section and recompile until the leak error disappears. When this happens, you know the leak is somewhere within the space of the block. Now you can repeat the procedure using a smaller block, only within the space that was covered last with the big block.
This method would only work, of course, if you had one leak, or a number of leaks that would all be covered at once by the block.
Is there any other reason why it would be saying there is a leak?Well, this is just a guess, but... I'd say you might actually have a leak.
Try using the cordon bounds to section off areas, and just compile them, until you can narrow it down to a small area. That'll make it much easier to find.
Edit: On second thought, that won't work... cordon bounds effectively seal off any leaks, if I'm not mistaken. There's another method used in one of the tutorials, if you can find it.
He never said he put it in the valve folder...
It could be out of date, but it's not like it would make any difference. Those old mods you see in there are optional downloads that are obviously broken by now, so don't worry about them. If you're still unsure about the version, check in the lower right hand corner of the menu. It should be 1.1.1.0, as that's the newest version.
And of course, as Ant said, make sure that liblist.gam is in there. That's mandatory.

9 year olds on TWHL... well, if it's true, it's a new record. Really though, why pick an age like 9, when you could say something like 5 or 10? It seems a bit unlikely that 9 just popped into his head, but I could be wrong. :

Not like that's a consequence of anything you did for it.
There's no need to get unique feedback for your first map. You could just as easily look at any number of other people's first maps on here, and learn from their negative feedback, which is most likely going to apply to every first map, because they all suck. And doing that is way better than clogging up our already crowded map vault.
The first step to becoming a good mapper is admitting you won't get it right (or even slightly right) the first time. Don't make us see your mistakes, just hone your skills in private before releasing anything.

It actually depends on how deep the water is. If it's really deep, it'll be dark, and shallow stuff is always clearer. Also consider how many impurities the water has in it, as this affects it a lot too.
If you want water that actually looks good (unlike that stuff in the video), try using multiple layers of transparent water.
dBpoweramp... No, not specifically that program, but it needs to be 11025 hz, 8 bit, and mono. I think you can actually get away with using a slightly higher quality than this for simple ambient sounds, but for speech where you need the lips to move along with the sound, this is the required format.
Oh, and I use Goldwave, but you have to cough pay cough for that.
