Could it be Starfighter? 
Original. I took it yesterday in a town called Paisley. Liked the reflection, but the actual result was a bit poor.
Shoop'd. I really like this.
it's awesome. It really is.
And there's great competition between a few people who like the same tracks as you to be top of the global scoreboard :>

for music from TWHL, you don't get any better than Tosse.

don't care much about CoD4, since it doesn't really have any storyyou can't have actually played it then.
It's got one of the best single player stories i've seen recently.
It really gets you caring about the characters, something which bioshock really failed to do for me.
edit:
Madcow, Bioshock's SP lasts too long.
I got to Andrew Ryan's office, saw the plot twist and stopped playing. It just got boring after that.
has Unbreakable invented the Flux Capacitor or what?
You've got a lot to entertain you between now and then.
The wait will just make the day it arrives so much sweeter.

you're using the Quake tools. Replace them with Zoner's tools
i said custom lights.rad, moocow
Nope, there is still a lights.rad, but very annoyingly to those of us who know the benefits of textlights, creating and using a custom lights.rad in a hammer4 compile is a bloody pain in the arse.
Source removes the need for very many entities, storing surprising ammounts of information in the textures. To do this, textures come in 2 files.
One of these is a .vtf file. This is the texture's image itself.
The other is a .vmt file. This is a file which can be opened in notepad and contains all the information about the texture.
Any default HL2 textures(more commonly called "materials" in source, by the way) you do not need to ship with your map. This goes for CSS as well.
Because of this, it is no longer a requirement to tie brushes to entities to achieve effects like water, making faces invisible and many more.
func_wall is no longer used. You want func_brush.
You shouldn't have the aaatrigger texture. If you have any .wads loaded into hammer, unload them.
The trigger texture is tools/toolstrigger and is orange with the word "Trigger" printed on it in big, friendly letters. It will be transparent in hammer, and will be visible in-game unless tied to an entity.
Finally, brush based glows are a thing of the past.
Read up on point_spotlights, env_sprites, model glows and HDR.

incomparibly old.
I hadn't even heard of it till i read the Steam News Post and I love the idea so i went and got it. I mean "Still Alive Surfing" really sold it to me
Has potential for lulz in LAN and online-with-mates situations.
Opinions?
use the edit button rather than triple posting
Vista makes even XP seem brilliant.dullard.
Nice, though would have looked better without HUD.and some anti-aliasing.
the SDK example maps are basically in-game tutorials. They use in-game messages to explain what's doing what.

you're a full time doctor and you can't afford a machine capable of HL2 on max? D:
if I want to make a map i want to showcase my work, not other peoples prefabs, but meh.^

the engine looks like that one that every single N64 game used...

I duplicated the layer and added a radial zoom filter to it before taking the opacity down to ~15% for the blur and used a colour channel adjustment layer for the blue.
lol! Daubster is such a whore =]I'll poke Daubster for the coding.I've been refraining myself from poking Daubster for coding/
I PM'd him to see if i could get him not to just blatantly ignore my valid questions.
Also:
I also note that you still ignored the rest of my questions, and clearly this is because you don't have answers for them.
give up and preferably become an hero too.
i lol'd.? The engine can't support physics, which is a requirement for pretty much every single puzzle in HL2.hey, look, i'm allready getting a real time physics engine for half life from aaron.
Also:
I was pointing out that it looked like shit compared to HL2 because it had to be simplified to be used in the HL engine.look at the barrelHAHAHAHA!!!! dude, he barrels like, what? 200 polys? i'm sure it will run perfectly in half life 1.

uhh.. Make your 2 landmarks between map 2 and 3 have a different name from the 2 landmarks going from map 1 to 2.
Agent-x, that really does look good, but it's besides the point.
It still looks bad compared to actual HL2, it still lacks complex physics, It still can't support high-poly models (look at the barrel ffs), it still can't support vehicles, and while you can make hl2-esque maps, you can't make locations nearly as vast as the HL2 versions.
Face facts. HL2 can not be remade in Goldsource.

aside from it being very un-london-ish, it is a fucking good fun map =D

uhh.. does 0 just make it invincible even with triggers? try putting it to something higher just to see.
TWHL 1+2? (sekret code to stop halflife_genius picking up on it)
ok. Listen. This is your final chance for redemption, thehalflifedude.
All i want you to do is calmly, coherently and honestly answer ALL of the following questions. It's not difficult, and it could potentially make a huge difference.
1. Why do you think people will want "HL2" in an outdated engine rather than the actual game? Keeping in mind that "they don't have a powerful enough PC" isn't an answer. See why earlier in this thread.
2. Why don't you just make maps/mods for Source if it inspires you so much?
3. Why do you completely ignore requests for screenshots of this map of yours?
4. Why do you completely ignore simple facts like:
? The engine can't support physics, which is a requirement for pretty much every single puzzle in HL2.
? The engine can't support vehicles like in HL2, which pretty much removes any chance of including 2 of the largest sections of HL2.
? The engine can't support the vast locations, both interior and exterior.
? The engine can't support all the high-poly models of HL2.
5. Why are you being so hostile to everyone? You say we're all mean here, but that's only because you completely disregard our good advice.
6. Half-Life 2 took 6 years to develop. Are you going to take that long?
7. What can you actually do? Aside from stealing other people's content?
ok? I'm not being mean. I'm not being unreasonable.
Just answer these questions and maybe people will take you seriously.
At the moment they won't because you are completely and utterly ignoring everything they're saying.

everything is possible hunter.lovely if it was true, but alas, it's not.
and you choose to completely ignore the 4 very valid points i made?
suit yourself, but nobody is going to help you on a doomed project.
suit yourself, but nobody is going to help you on a doomed project.
the city 17 map i made lagged down to 1 fpsthat'd be because the 1997 Goldsource engine is not designed for the large environments of HL2.
This mod failed before it even began, because it's simply not possible to make anything remotely similar to HL2 in the HL1 engine.
You can't get the physics required for half the puzzles,
You can't map the huge expanses,
You can't have proper drivable vehicles,
You can't use nearly as detailed brushwork or models or textures.
The old engine has limits. You can't break them to the extremes you're planning.

somebody please ban him. I'll actually get on my knees and beg.

because in 2005/2006, Hunter knew fuck all about making a mod.
That, and the fact that M_gargantua and myself are the only ones remaining of the original team.
It never helps to have so many staff changes.
Half-Life: Hostage Situation is not dead.
It is, however, on temporary hold for the foreseeable future.
I expect DPGames will pick up the pieces once OiFH is complete.
To all the people currently on the team:
If you will map again once this gets revived, great!
If not, please at least don't set us back any further. Send me what you have done so far, and what can be done with it will be done.
This is the final post in this thread.
Any questions regarding the mod should be addressed to
comment@hunter.weebitmagic.com
or sent to me via the PM system.
Goodbye for now.
