Dude awesome! If I make a model for you can you import it into halflife?
To join the server you have to dl the files in dropbox and install them. I don't know why but dl through the server isn't working.
Forum posts
Guys, joing the server now if you can, 8:45 central time US. IP: 68.232.160.178:27025 password in db. Captain and I are in.
Skype crashes Alberto's computer but he's willing to work on prop models if we assgn him any.
So far we need models of stalactites and gems to illuminate the map.
Edit: Captain and I have been in it for 2 hours and no one's showed up. Jessie tried but wasn't able to. We're plotting out what will go where. We will post to dropbox.
Text me if you join the server 832-771-0836 and if i'm at the house i'll join.

We'll focus on textures once we get something mapped out. I'll try to work on some this weekend.
Tetsuo and Alberto mentioned they might be able to work on some models.
We need a drill machine for the ct's spawn, check db, capt's image.
I got a server running, ip: 68.232.160.178:27025 let's test the map so far!
Pm me for password or check db.

I knew that was coming. Up, I did it again. ;). Can someone point me to where I can get a server running for 1.6? Password protected of course.
Cz playable RMF in drop box so you don't have to clip everything off yourself. I tested bots on medium as with hard they were "too hard". I'd have included the nav. mesh but it only takes seconds for cz to generate one.
I might have to handle slant as well since I'm doing bridge. Well maybe not. I clipped it off but the player will most likely be able to jump down to slant from bridge.
I think the layout is pretty solid and we should move on to mapping the areas, but like Rimrook did, if you have an idea just map it out and test it/ have us test it with bots. Remember that simple layouts play better in cs with a few ways to allude eachother. We don't want the map to be a giant sponge. Although it would look cool and cavey, it might not play well.
Oh yea and don't forget that although we've skyboxed the map for testing, the entire thing will be underground.
This weekend i'll try to knock out the shaft. I may have to upscale it a bit as Captain suggested.

Yea we individually tested in cs go with bots and I just tested in cz with 9 bots. In cz, bots use the shaft a lot more. Game play is solid as hell.
I added water in bombsite A so you can jump down from heaven and a lift pad there.
Also some boxes on smaller jump down and 32 unit high walls on flank.
I'll record some gameplay via fraps when I get home and upload it temporarily in db.
The shaft is the core of the map because there's so many ways to rotate from it. It's awesome peering out of it to bridge overlooking bombsite B!

Sweet! I'm glad. I'll try to take bomb site A along with shaft and I'll do bridge unless someone else wants it. We'll have to let each other know what we're mapping in each area. We also need to try to keep consistency throughout the level.
I'll try to find the image that inspired the stairwell.
Ct's seem at a disadvantage so I'll add floating pads in A to access heaven from ct base.

Although that's a great idea, we have tons of work to do in little time. I say we keep rims northern addition and get rid of the southern branch. Then I say we roll with it. Unless someone concurrs.
Edit: compromise map in db, let me know.

Who added the layout version 2? I like it but we may want to keep the map smaller so that it's manageable in such a short period of time.
Edit: sees now. I think the map was already T sided. I agree that more ways could be added as T's only had two directly from their spawn. Not sure we should add too much though. We also want to make sure they take enough time to make it to the bomb sites. Great stuff though man! I think maybe we should keep one of the additions and discard one.
(Notice in layout folder I added named version. Pick an area, call it here and begin working on it. I got dibs on shaft, although if someone wants to work on it with me/ against me let me know and we'll see what we come up with.) Might want to wait until we refine the layout.
Yea i'm going for fast gameplay. I agree, we should test both versions asap!
Check db, I started a forum in it that we can all type into. Make sure to save what you've typed incase someone else saves at the same time.
Nice game screenshots Strider, very inspirational. Definitely raises the bar.

Yea I had posted the layout sketch but removed it and put it in dropbox. The flesh out is about finished and I will upload it to dropbox soon.
That would be some great help for sure. Can't wait to see what you're working on. I'm mapping out the layout now.
I'm working on the layout right now. I will flesh it out in hammer really soon. If there's anything you'd like to see in the layout continue to add it to db by today.
I will incorporate a little surfing. Should there be bounce pads or anything like that?

I've mapped some of those before.
That's a good idea Jessie
Ok, will do
Sounds good. I will sketch a few layouts and areas this weekend.
Yeaaa, I attempted making textures, and they blow. But the animated texture for the floating pads is cool imo, check out the bsp.
Yea, I feel the same. I'm working along with trying to move out of my dad's house. I'm going on 26 for Christ's sake. Well, there's only a few textures I have in mind that will need to be completely custom made. The rest I should be able to manage. I'll let you know and you can decide if you're interested.
For anyone that is interested I will Pm you a brief that Captain put together upon our brainstorm sesh last night. Rimrook, there are a few models involved but skybox may not be too important since it will be below ground level. We've also come up with a few texture ideas that we need. Either I can desperately try to make them in photoshop or if you want, you could probably whip them out like no bodies business.
Any other recommendations as to where we can all chat amongst each other? I'll be free to talk today after work.
Interesting. I should have gone with 24 units=12 inches wide and 12 units=12 inches tall for easiness of use.
Scaling everything at the end would probably work for a final compile but lots of changes will probably be made throughout the build.
Edit:
Some progress wip.

There's Skype. Face book messenger. You can even instant message on Skype w/out vid when convenient.
Find me on Skype, "myleschumchal".

Check out darkphoenix_68's maps. Guy's a beast at huge interior earth environments.
Rimrook, that would be great if you contribute. Anyone that's going to be involved say so, so that we have an idea.

It's just the back square corner with easements to the road and creek.
Here's a wip of my 20x30' barndominium. I'll post the map when it's semi finished.
I used 20 units= 12 inches. It sort of works for width but height is exaggerated...
No insulation on first floor as it's flood land. And I've chosen this beautiful black corrugated steel.
I divided the back top for living quarters and insulated in a room and bath room. The bed room lofts over the bathroom for extra space. Wait till you see it, it's pretty tight.

Who's account is team TWHL? Is this a branch off Alberto's post?
Let's come up with a team of about 2-4 and start brainstorming.
I may just enter on my own, team mapping can be tough.

I'm in! The map would make for great LAN action.
Thanks Captain!
My dad gave me the back corner to build my barndominium or whatever I decide to build. If he sells the land he will leave me with the shown easements to access the creek and road.

Sorry for double post, but breaking news! My father has given me quite the gift! Check it out!
Nice, have any screens if it's not lost in cyber space?
Yes I finally just bought fraps.

teehee
Did you just add the mustache? Haha.
It's just down the street from my parent's lands so we could just pile into the truck lol.
Haha yea, we can go by whatever we like. Of course you can just call me Myles, and when we meet i'll introduce myself to everyone personally. It would make sense to introduce yourself saying "blank" known as "blank". Rimrook and I have worked on a few things together and we call each other by Ben and Myles.
Jessie, I really like that name, and don't worry you are entitled to be called whatever you like.
Edit:
So I was talking with my father and he doesn't want me building on his land, for many reasons such as that it is flood land. I feel like if I wait for my mom's land to be divided it will take forever. So there's a piece of land in the town of Columbus that I can get it's on the market for a semi affordable price. The only problem is that it's not in the best area, isn't on the creek and is only .18 acres. Well I could still barn the entire lot into a barndominium. I just have to check with the deed restrictions in the area. I will call the realtor tomorrow and let you guys know what I find out.
It would probably end up being faster and cheaper since it already has public water "don't have to dig a well and septic", and electricity.
Now this is my cup of tea!!! Finds after browsing pinterest countless hours.
Mine will have more tools in it though and have insulated roof.

Blew the dust off 1.6. Got a few skins i'm sure some of you will find horrible, but I like them. Made a quick map to showcase them.

Hehe I'm down man, I'll letcha know when I get the slab poured and buy the materials. 
I can see it now!
I can see it now!
My brother has a laptop that plays csgo just fine i'm sure he'd lend me. He'd probably want to join in on the LAN though. My laptop almost melted last night while playing. I'll probably buy another laptop by then so I may have a few extra. Between everyone who is able to show up i'm sure we will accommodate.
I just found a really old bsp, it's so mysterious. It's like a culmination of really weird dreams placed into a map. I may turn it into something. I may also re make "gone".
Sounds good Rimrook! I don't think this idea will fizzle out since we have so much time to plan ahead. But if it does, at least hopefully a few people will be able to make it when we do decide a date.
I will keep everyone updated with my house build. I will probably pm anyone the bsp. of my house design that's interested as I start cranking it out in hammer. I just installed updates so I can now run autodesk inventor to test what size members to use in my barndominium. I'm a huge fan of scissor A-frames. I really like open sheet metal but need to insulate it so it will have to be hidden on the inside. I'm going to design my build via rhino, hammer and inventor.
@Jessie, I hope some of the lurkers chime in to this!

I have an old one. Going to get another closer to next deer season so I don't miss the pre rifle hunt.
You my friend have coined a new term in my book.
It will tranquilize whatever you shoot for a long time.
We can shoot my Mosin Nagant!
If I get my house built sooner then by all means for sure.
My place will be perfect for such an event as it will be some sort of barndominium on land with a creek. There's a chance I won't get to build on that property though so we will see. If I build on my dad's then it will happen much sooner. My mom is contacting a lawyer today on dividing up her land.
We could totally have that competition at the LAN!
Instant, we could 3D print your models then, that is if my 3D printer is still up and running. If it isn't i'm sure i'll have another one by then.
Why we should have it out here:

Haha well I may leave the guns in the safe. Unless y'all want to shoot them. I'll provide the empty cans. Yea laptop is the way to go my Hp Envy works pretty good for the cost.
Here's my mom's family's land. It's ~96 acres. Quite a few people own it so dividing it is going to be tough. My mom only owns three so that leaves my two brothers and I one each.
Her two sisters and brother each own 3 as well totaling 12 acres of access even after it's divided.

Yea, I agree. We need ring girls though lol.
Here's my dad's land where we've had quite a few parties. It's jut before you get to my mom's family's land.

I'm so stoked that people are showing some interest in this! Definitely something to look forward to. We can play beer pong, fish, have a bon fire, and do anything we come up with.
I'm sure someone will have an extra pc.
I feel for those that are so far away. I hope in time you are able to make it.
Perhaps Archie can film the event!
Would y'all be interested in me making a party out of it for one of the days or would you prefer just TWHL members? My direct friend base is lower now that i'm currently not in school but I could make it happen.
@Disco, sorry I didn't see your question. We need to divide the land in order for me to build on it because otherwise my great aunt would flip out.
I'd build on my dad's land but it's only four acres and he's probably going to sell it/ buy more/ sell it and so on.

target_001. I hope it's not too close to a brush so you don't get stuck in the geometry.
I've driven to Florida. 
I'm sure some people will make it and some will not.
For those who do, bring your 3D models and we'll print them.

That's the spirit Archie! Dude we'd have so much fun. Altdel would make for some awesome gameplay along with de_twhl2011.
I was thinking it could be a week vacation or just a few days or so.
Guys don't sweat the details it's a long way away. I don't even have the land to build on yet.
What games would y'all be interested in playing? I still only really map for goldsource. I'll work on a few fun maps until then and i'll try to recover some of my old maps and re compile them. My old rats map of my room (hl dm)is pretty fun. I'll probably focus on a few hl dm maps and cs 1.6 maps. Hopefully some more people can make it like Rim masta, he's just a stone throw away. And Grim could easily drive if he's willing to make it out.
EDIT: I'm so getting a projector with Mario cart for every old console.
Disco, you have to make it out. I will reveal to you all of my architectural secrets!
Just fly into Houston. I'll probably just rent a van for the week for ~$800.00 and pick everyone up at the air port.

Hehe at least there's no risk coming to the US, besides maybe heat stroke or drinking the fluoridated water.
I'll probably remake an old map of mine for the LAN party. I played CS GO with my brother today and it was pretty fun.

If money is an issue, down the road I may be able to help someone out via wire or paypal that wants to make the LAN party.
Just send me an email when we figure out a date.
I wouldn't miss it if I were you, you have plenty of time to get a pass port. I'll pick you up at the airport. Maybe we can plan when people should arrive so we can all drive to my place in the same trip.
We have plenty of time to plan and book early flights for cheap. Let's just start by discussing what kind of maps we could make for it.
Even if it doesn't end up happening, it' worth the effort trying.
