Did you increase your texture memory?
That's not a good generalization El cap-i-tan.
My next door neighbors were foster parents. They took care of 3 kids on and off because they couldn't birth their own and didn't want to adopt. They were some of the nicest peeps i knew.

Looking sharp there, World crafter.
My rooms are done, and my pirate ship is just going to take a long-ass time.
I'm in for this one. Starting now.

You don't need artist renderings. Even plain sketches would count.
Screenies, map layouts, plotlines, storyboards, basic stuff first. Then develop it.

Every good night begins with a few shots of 151. It really wakes you up!
Happy birthday!

It turns out just as fuzzy as the original voices.Hooray for wasted money
Kidding really. I'm sure you can find a multitude of other uses for that mic.
And damn, 10th grade? That's when i STARTED mapping.
I get a memory error with windows sound recorder !?!?! -4 gig ram -
So i use audacity.

Yeah i've went into the studio a lot. The lowest price i had was $300 for a hellova long time. I don't remember exactly what the hours were, but we got 2 songs recorded, mixed and mastered.
Are the cannons func_tank'sNo, but they will work. Just wait until it's all done
The top deck cannons are smaller thank the below deck cannons. Just for scaling reasons. That might change later, I don't know.
I'll have to take a look at some func_tank's to see what my options are. Because i've had a brainstorm about the cannons a while ago. Just a few things i would like to try.
Well, there is not going to be water in the final version of the map.
You'll see what i mean.
Here's some updates. Just to not kill this thread, i'm killing the other one.

In my haste to get this finished, look what I've done!!!
Gotta go fix em now.EDIT
Just fixed em.
Turns out it was only about 6 pieces of rope. All i did was flip the end vertices around and viola!
Sidenote, turns out the crew photos i've been basing the ship off of are incomplete. In the movie the ship has 3 sails on the main mast. The actual photos only have one. I'm gonna have to put in a lot more work than i thought.
EDIT------
Progress :
It's getting there rim
I have to go back and watch the Pirates of the Caribbean movies for some more reference material. I want this to be as realistic as possible. The outside is complete, now i need to make the below deck storage area. It won't be too detailed as i fear i'm nearing half-life's limits. But i'll see how far i can push it.

Ask people you know. I'm willing to offer my voice. So are most people here.
If you want, you can make a ModDB page and the people who look at that might want to lend a hand as well.

Notice the green player spawn. (To the rear [stern] of the ship) The ship's damn huge, and I don't think i'm even half done yet. I still have to make the brig and cargo area, plus i have to do the other tiers of the masts. The front mast is complete however.
To be honest, i dont think you're fitting my pirate ship in there...
Here's Why:
Unless you want me to make the ropes ladders and have teleports to the other maps on the masts and such
Here's Why:
so long as it's good work. People don't want to see lego buildings in source. (Just square)
Do your research, try to mimic some architecture and you'll be fine.

Well what happens a lot is modders want to get all the custom content finished THEN map, and when people do that, the mod dies quick. In order for people to even pay attention to it you're going to need media releases and screenshots and updates etc etc.
If you can get a steady flow of actual maps, even just areas that connect to other areas, your mod will last a lot longer. Maybe even to completion.
For instance. If you want your story to progress from the city to the sewers to the outdoors. Make a simple city map (SIMPLE!! 4 buildings at max) add the entrance to the sewers, make the sewer map, then make the outdoor map.
Once you have the skeleton, you can flesh it out. Rebuild as necessary.

I guess i'm screwed. I love rock, i love video games, and i'm pretty well along in my education. (Third year college / uni)
Lovely!

Eh. I got so good at starcraft it got boring. That's what clans do for you.
You join a clan when you're good enough, then you train against the Elite. And you become elite yourself. I went from noob to almost pro in about 1.5 years.
But then it just got to the point where i would just mess with people i was playing against online.
I'd go kill off all their workers, go back to my base, keep an patrol around the map and their area, then just sent in all 150 units.

Wow a virgin poster who found the edit button. I'm gonna pay attention to this!
Well it sounds like an awesome idea.
+ You caught my interest
++ You already have a decent website up.
+/- Like a lot of people have already said. It's a LOT of work.
Each level can take upward of 25 hours to complete, not including scripting and events. Modeling and animating is a pain. But hey, if you're looking for people to help out, i'll give it a shot.
My recommendations: Map out the whole game first, then go back and add in all the custom models, and change the levels to fit.

before you open the map, try entering "gl_zmax 9900" into the console.
Hey! I know that map. It's mine!
Wow. Well good luck with that, and i do hope you stay healthy through the Chemo. I think you might lose some hair.

I know most people here are probably anti-Apple but Safari is a good browser like Opera and Firefox and really, people do use it.Idk if it's just my iphone, but when i use safari to view the site the header is all borked up.
the "The whole half life" picture (displayed top left) is lower, and sitting on top of the search box. And when you hit the click to login button, half the password box and login button are chopped off by the pic.
Here's a screenshot.
What if you teleport the old barney out and a new barney in his place RIGHT after the AI_scripted runs?
(or even before, so the death animation doesn't play)
Might look funny, but if you can get the player to be distracted for a second or 2 it could be a seamless transition.

I guess the AG forum would be the best place to look.
I wouldn't worry about it too much considering there's a pretty simple work- around.
If you know someone who can edit the FGD you can just change the entity names.

How would you access the internet in the first place if there was no local hard disc.
I see some clipping in the third junction from the left.
Dunno if you want it like that or not.
Other than that, first impression is: Holy fuckballs batman. That's some wonderful architecture!

Hence Work in progress guys
Thanks for the comments tho.
I don't think i'm going to animate the sails. Soo much work, plus i dont have 3DS anymore.

I'll have to learn how to animate! I was just going to make them out of brushes, and i haven't decided if i want to make the sails rolled up, or down.
But i do plan on doing the ropes.
All of them.
EDIT---
Started the ropes on the main mast.

Why don't you just make the vault door connct via hallway to the other vault door
But dont objects have to be on grid?
What does hlfix do, exactly?
Does it allow for off-grid vertices?

I'm downloading it now. I'll give it a whirl.
Those look pretty sweet, but do you have any higher res pics of them?
I wish i had a PS3. Of course i'm amused enough by my 6 guitars, Computer and Wii.

Never played. I had a roomate who played. It sucked up his life too. poor kid.
poor kid.Yeah. I'm definitly getting rid of those textures. I just need a really old wood texture of some sort. And the black pearl is black, so idk how black textures are going to be. Whatever. I'll figure something out.
Anyway. I finished the front railings, and added the front mast. But I'm at School ALL DAY today, so i won't be able to work on it until later.
It's 10:30am and i'll be here until 9:00pm, then i have a 45 minute drive home. So no updates until right around midnight or so. (Eastern Time)

well for lighting, i've heard that using spotlights for direct lighting and placing a pointlight in front of the spot for ambiance works quite well.
Throw a sprite in there and you have a life-like light source.
Make sure the pointlight is really dim compared to the spotlight.
And.... a real-time editor will be possible when half life graduates from the binary space partition. (BSP)

This is my Current project. It's a replica of the Black Pearl from the P.O.T.C. movies. I'm using the original half life textures for now. Just until i can acquire or make some of my own. There is still a lot more work to be done. For instance, i need to complete the masts, sails, ropes, cannons, brig, office area, cargo hold, keel, and the railings for the bow section.
In it's current state, that's about 4 or so hours of work.
Apologies for not posting Thumbnails.
