This is a much better batch compiler and is still supported.

This was for HL1 and I'm sure HL2 is the same.

uhh... No. Read up on info_landmarks.

2 year bump and thread hijack. nice

all the pics of maps on your "site" lack detail, especially Ben's.

I doubt you'll get much help without even the smallest idea of a plot, but it's nice to see you at least have some media, something which most mod application threads lack.

Wish you all the best of luck completing this.

it'll take you 3 hours to download a 70mb program?

get some internets.

heh. a simple mistake. Glad that's solved. Link your map when you're done. Get some feedback.

what a rediculous and unnecisary post, potatis. stop it.

Captain Terror just won to a rediculous extent.

the spy could get poison darts or something.. Gradual decrease of health unless a health pickup or medic boost is gained.. Kinda like being on fire from the pyro, but it doesn't wear off after a while.

Well and Granary would both make good ctf maps.

lol'd, ZL

I'm still a tad skeptical about the unlockable weapons. New maps are always welcome, though.

there's probably an easier way, but placing a trigger hurt over regular zombies would work

lol, spike. Touch?.

seriously not threadworthy and the 300 thing has been done 10000 times before and better.

the truck of fail must have hit traffic, but don't worry. It'll show up.

taught != thought

that was a really stupid reaction to someone knocking on your door :/

something must be buggered with the .vmt files..

looks nice. You certainly captured the Nova Prospekt feeling.

get out.

get out now.

you can set realistic fall damage when you set up a server.

SP is singleplayer.
MP is multiplayer.

Dozer Mosus'll sort him out.

i assure you, the answer will be:

Sure.

You'll pay for it, yes?

subway to me is sandwiches.

I called it that because "Underground" didn't seem blatant enough, and it isn't the London underground despite being based off it.

yeah, inside textures for the train aren't done. I've just used HL2 hull textures for the moment.

It'll also look a LOT better when i get rid of the blue flurescent texturelight

your current texture has a strange pattern on it.

mm, it's like rumpled metal for grip.. I'm trying to find a pic..

alas, it would appear that people don't take pictures of train/bus railings in the UK. prats.

reference image:

Sure.

You'll pay for it, yes?

? Too clean, especially when compared to the other shots. < - fix'd
? Ridiculously empty. < - fix'd
? Skirting around the door is too thick, and the texture is a dirty concrete texture? That's what it looks like anyway. Looks silly to me. < - just not made the custom texture yet.
? Dirty heater looks out of place. < - model me a clean one?
? Put a trim on the floor in the doorway please. The abrupt change from carpet to tile is annoying. This is also a problem with other screenshots. < - done
? Nice TF2 poster. < - yep

2nd shot:
? Add some kind of trim or something on the wood so it doesn't just abruptly end into the tiles. <- done
? It would be a good idea to align the counter with the floor texture. I just think it looks odd, atm. <- done.
? I think the counter should have cupboards/draws instead of just plain wood. <- done

3rd shot:
? Add a trim on the roof connecting the arches. Also a trim on the floor between the arches to get rid of that awful abrupt change from wood to tiles. <done
? Thick skirting around the door again with the same texture. Still not a fan. <- gettin' there

4th shot:
? Floor tex is highly scaled and misaligned. <- fix'd
? Reflections on the shiny props look weird. <-well...
? Toilet paper roll is ridiculous. This is source, man. Get it modelled or at least add more sides to that bad boy. <- workin' on it.

5th shot:
? Trim on floor in doorway pls. <-done
? Align floor tex pls. <-done
? Add some trash or something lying around on the floor. It looks empty, rather than 'lived in.' It's like nobody has ever been there before, and greatly contrasts the dirtyness of the wall textures. <-done

I'm sorry, but what exactly didn't i listen to?

[edit]

a .vmf with some brushes textured with DEV materials made in the ep2 version of hammer just opened without problems in ep1 Hammer.

what on earth caused the lighting on the walls above the beams in the second shot, Skeetz?

HL2DM isn't a different engine from CSS.

in many ways EP2, and TF2 are.
They use different versions of hammer than CSS & HL2DM

Muzz, you really shouldn't give advice like that.

Spike, you can try, but the ep2 version of the Source engine is vastly different to CSS's, and so is the version of Hammer for each.

Whether -engine ep1 hammer will open an ep2 .vmf, is unknown to me, but it can't hurt to try.

KasPerg..

i see that mistake far too often.

I'm sorry, but that seems to be a really daft reason :/

no. It's wrong.

your icons are stupidly big

i don't know that specific model, but many of the light models have alternate skins for off/on states.

Try checking that.

worrying desire to cut things/people or tribute to the spy?

you decide.

^ this will help you.

Is it just for 1 map that this is happening, or is it all of them?

lol.

Good to see the US copy of PC Gamer is still as shit as I remember it.

I don't know if you kept up with the original UK PCG vs US PCG TF2 match, but the yanks got their arses kicked.

aye
