I must say this does seem like an excellent way to progress with the Source engine. Another thing I've seen is somebody recreating Office Complex from Half-Life.
Yeah yeah, Black Mesa are already doing it. Sure. However, if you are just focusing on a single chapter, it's not really as ambitious as that AND it gives you a set of problems to overcome.
These kind of projects are really inspirational and each time I see one I want to just up and switch to Source...
God damn it.
Oh yeah, and this looks awesome Tet. There we go, 1 thread derailed and rerailed.

Me too man, me too.

...yeah, sorry for being a dick.

What i DO have a problem is you trying to tell me you don't have time once a day to read a thread, and let us know? Sorry but i just don't buy thatPulling 12 hour days at work, having a wife, doing household stuff and getting a decent amount of sleep. Believe what you like, but that is my life.
Here's to wishing for death.
Sorry, not trying to be a downer, but the level of stress this week is just... guargh!
honestly urby? you're waiting 3 days after archie uploaded to tell us this? Seriously....Didn't even realise it was my turn until yesterday. Like I said, I'm totally whacked for time this week and it's best if I get weekends.
Then again, considering how little progress I'm making on my other free time shit it might just be best if I drop this...
Ah poo. Sorry, I've been pretty busy with it being the easter week. Getting plenty of sleep to deal with agitated clients. Could I skip the second pass and pick up on the third? I'm off work for 4 days starting Friday the 6th. 
Just tried to connect. Custom map downloading at a turtle's pace. Quit.
I too am very interested but my card is full up with so many other things.
Edit: Downloaded to try out the 2 maps included but both of them cause HL to lock up. I'm running standard Steam HL with no model packs or anything...

They don't call him 2muchvideogames for his love of pizza.
Also, @srry. Funny you should suggest that, I tried doing that a few years ago. I'm not sure if it was just a lack of experience or whatever but I could never get it working properly.

Third person is much less immersive that first person but it can still be done. Fallout and Skyrim are 2 of the most immersive games I've played and they can be played in either viewpoint. Personally though, I prefer first person.
NVidia also won me over with PhysX. I'm THAT shallow.
Isn't Dimbark's submission now overdue?
Yeah, i personally would rip out that ATi card and burn it. Past experience with ATi is that it's utter shite. Killed my 3D view in hammer and the control center crashed so often it was infuriating.
I'm going to be at a media festival for the next 2 days (the one I'm pitching to the BBC in) but come Friday I will be in a mega mapping mood.That is good news. You could get some work done on The Core.
That is looking pretty damn swish.
Dimbark isn't exactly helping by acting like a dick...

I'm not good with this source malarkey.
Compiled and added a readme file for Hotdog. It's all yours man.
Hmmm. Verified the cache and did another compile, normal VIS, normal RAD. It gets to the PortalFlow stage and the process gradually gets slower and slower before grinding to a complete halt...
...wtf.
...wtf.
Ah, I appended mine to 03 as it was 02 that came to me. I'll save as 04 next time.
Also, I fixed the lettering props for you Ninja.
I've never truly mapped Source and I've spend a few hours on this already so I'll be uploading my version soon anyway. I haven't used any custom content myself so PackBSP (whatever that means) shouldn't be necessary (I think...)
EDIT I'm also getting really pissed off with the Source SDK. I don't know if it just needs re-downloading or what but Hammer has randomly spazzed out on me twice and it crashes sometimes on compile to the point where it knackers up the entire SDK forcing me to restart my PC...

At the end of the day, he was warned on more than enough occasions about his spamming and trolling on the forums and in journals. He didn't pay any attention and THAT is why he was eventually temp banned.
I'm sure that when he comes back he will stop flame-warmongering. Maybe while he waits he can work on a map or 2 and come back with some screenshots.

it was my very first map in source sdkWhat a great impression it must have made.
Make sure you have "beat_gruntidle" in the "Idle Animation" field and not the "Action Animation" field.
Also, check the flags tab to make sure you've checked the "No Interruptions" flag.

Just looked at the map file. I'm in way over my head already.

Hey, i've seen you around moddb. Check out the tutorials link on the left. Everything you've asked is basic entity work so you'll pick it up soon enough.
We're actually ready to start...
You fucked that up eh?
Watched Breaking Dawn - Part 1 last night to keep the wife happy. I gotta say that this was the most boring one yet. The closing few scenes were pretty grim too.
On TV I'm watching Homeland. That's much more up my street. Also makes me wonder what's with all the brits pretending to be Americans these days...

As much as I love mapping for goldsource and as interested as I am I just don't have the time what with my current projects and all. Also, that link doesn't work.
Awww. Its like an ickle castle. Looks nice
Sounds like a MODDB summary right there...
Seriously, next time you're on MODDB read some of the mod pages. They're pretty funny.

I vote CS:S, if only because TF2 and L4D don't entertain me anymore.
If we keep debating about the game we use then this isn't going to go any further than this thread.
Have a majority vote and then if some people don't have the game or can't run the game, they're out.

NO! Each one needs to be worded slightly differently.
48 hours* notice. Sorry. TWHL is tiny on my Android and I was having a shit.
Now you know.

Also my vote is definitely for Source. So is Urby's, he's just confused.I can think for myself thank you very much. So yeah, i vote Source.
If I only get 24 hours to work on it then I will need 48 notice beforehand.
I remember the plan for TWHL Mix 2 was to have each section contain a part for a teleportation device which would take you to the finale.
Lot's of entity work though...
Failing that, there's the "Central Transit Hub in Area 9" for high security personnel.

This has been attempted many times before. I for one would love to see it succeed. Count me in. I would prefer GldSrc but I will gladly attempt a source submission.
Also, tripping hazard much?
Ur Gonna have to move to source now UrbyWell, I only started properly mapping for GoldSource in 2004 so yeah, you're probably right.
Pretty much.
It looks a lot like that other game that features men and guns.
Awesome.
Awesome.
Z locks the camera and allows for panning with the mouse.Not just panning. Complete noclip movement controls.
Picture space, but with orange clouds. Yeah, that.
Probably not going to post desktops anymore. Not that I did very often anyway.

The shots I've seem look pretty good but the genre just isn't for me sadly.
I heard there were cats so I tried it out again. There are cats...
Bored now.

Oh yeah, Minecraft. I remember that. Why did I stop playing that again?
Oh...oh right
Unfortunately I won't be able until late spring...it's just too cold in there right now......probably off topic but I can't leave that alone. What!?
Also:
It is NOT hidden. I never hide any objects.Did you at least check in case you had accidentally hidden it (keyboard shortcuts, etc)
These have to be unique? Shit.
I withdraw my original "Welcome to TWHL" so I can try again.

I don't think it's an issue. This way you can look up older information within their respective forums rather than lumping all of them into one great clusterfuck.
