Lol. Not to bash your idea or anything, but that's the vibe i got from reading that. And why do you still have your christmas avatar?
So.... the halo 3 teaser movie?
Sweetness! I'll look forward to it.
Woot. Thanks Penguinboy! Ahh This makes my work a TON easier!
Hotdog: do you cut the corner or do you have it flush?
Pengi I have a question:
Can i have more than one map in my entry?
I'm thinking of having 2 or 3 maps in a mod-form. I have all my mod folders and everything laid out already.

Rimrook those models are amazing but i have some constructive criticism I hope you accept:
1) The Navenger's Body seems a bit too rigid to me. IMO his torso would twist a bit while walking. (I know this is probably a taboo to say [This being a HALF-LIFE mod and all], but if you note how Elites from HALO walk....) But i also do know that Your model is supossed to be... i dont know.. more proper...
2) The Squid... thing.. When he pulls his tentacles back up for another push, if you've ever seen a squid swim around, they kinda keep the tips together while pulling the tentacles back up towards the body.
Imagine picking up a grain of salt using 3 fingers, but keeping your palm at a set distance from a table.
Other than that, I do like models and textures a lot, and it's great media to keep public interest!
I'll await the next update!

Yeah... That'll be the last thing i do if anything. Still loads of actual mapping to be done.
Thanks for the help again.

Thanks fellas. I deeply appreciate the help 
And.... how do i change the fonts again?
Is that the same for steam as WON?

The splash screen tutorial.

My Competition entry is going to be in mod form but I'm coming across quite a few frustrating problems.
Mainly, My splash screen is not working, nor is my custom icon.
I followed the tutorial to the letter and when i run my mod after closing and restarting steam, I'm not seeing anything. It's just the same old freeman + shotgun

Well like I said it was something stupid.
Guess it's not even worth putting music to it now.

I have music to it, but it's stupid and too catchy.
I'm working on something cooler. But i'm not sure it'll work with those lyrics.
Gimme another few days =]
Unless tosse wants in.

Someone write a song about that dude. Seriously.Here's a quick little thing i came up with while bored as hell last night:
He went to MIT
He was smarter than me
He has a square head
And makes aliens dead
He wears a suit of green
And was hired by breen
He doesnt look to smart
But he says killing's an art
Before freeman's time
there was another design
His name was Ivan
The space Biker
From space
Kinda hairy for a physicist
was probably an atheist
should have stayed as concept art
the valve guys didnt have the heart
Never made it into Half-Life
The player model went under the knife
Took Ivan out and put another one in
A guy by the name of Gordon Freeman
Before freeman's time
there was another design
His name was Ivan
The space Biker

got a cube-map right?
I love ball mice. Especially the ones that Dell ships with their pc's. Picking the dust out of public computer mouses is a favorite past-time of mine.
And i never understood the whole.. "gaming mouse" thing. Are they really that great?

Well the more we speculate, the greater chance that one of us could be right when the EP.3 Launch does roll around.
Then much gloating and "I told you so" will be thrown around.
Regardless, Ep.3 should prove epic. And i can't wait.

omg rimrook, those are fantastic.
I don't like emo kids because they wear clothing 5 sizes too small, listen to crap music, whine about everything, and all the ones i know go out of their way to make others lives just as emo.
Forgive me if that's heavily opinionated.
I mean. Life sucks. IMO, do something about it instead of collecting in groups and crying about it.
Anyway. I should be getting a digital camera soon, so i can have a better shot up of my desk areas.

Thanks hunter! It works. Now i have to dig up all the random crap associated with splash screens and fonts and all that bologna (should be baloney). Well. Everyone knows what my re-make is; Kokiri forest from ocarina of time. I already have a bunch of easter eggs in there for you guys to exploit!
I'm still using a game_counter. Because i got it to work. It just does not have the added coolness to it that i expected. I still have a crap-load of actual mapping to do on my map. So once that's finished, I'll spend some good old quality time with my entities.
Thanks for the tip, and Muzz, the camera thing worked, But i can't seem to get the vertical pitch to work at all
And i was just thinking; Why on earth is a trigger_counter a brush based entity? It boggles my mind, I tell you.

I've tried that muzz, and it just defaults to the 0,0,0 when in-game. Idk what's wrong with it. Maybe i'll try again.
ok i'll try to get that working. And does anyone know how to work around that stupid camera movement glitch.
Like the camera points at a different point other than the target you choose, then it pans over to the target

Hmm.. Then i have a beat FGD.. Let me get the most up-to date one and try again.
I think my error is occurring because i'm using one entity to trigger 2 counters of the same name, and of different end values.
Maybe the trigger_counters work differently than the game_counters. I'll let you know.
And.. sorry for the lack of faith spike.
Hmm... Which FGD has the Trigger_counter, i got the one from verc (3x) but there's still no counter there. Spike, which one are you using?

I'm setting up all my entities for the Competition, and Half-Life keeps crashing on me, and it's proving difficult to find out why.
Basically i have 5 func_breakables targeting a game_counter. Once the game counter reaches 5, it triggers a game_text to display a message on the player's screen.
It's at that point that half-life crashes, and returns me to my desktop.
The message does not display, the game freezes for a second, and then crashes.
Anyone have any ideas?
And i'm trying to get a func_wall to be a hologram, but that isn't working either.
I've tried a bunch of different render fx types but i don't know how to make it work, i've never used it before.

Idk. My beliefs rest with spike. He might be a future gordon, or a parallel universe gordon.
The world may never know.

What about converting it into a mesh then back into a poly? Would that do anything?
I usually keep the world models stock. =] But those are pretty badass
No actually it's an oasis in New Mexico.
Well this map is taking a drastic turn i guess
Now that the new competition was unveiled, I'm going to turn this into a zelda map-pack, or maybe even a mod if i can get the time. Once finished though, i will strip the entity set-ups and release a DM version like i originally planned to.

I already have a head start on mine!!
But.. how do i go about making a mod for STEAM? The tutorial shows the WON configuration. I'm planning on having some custom models and sounds in this now that the Compo played right into my hands basically =]

Yep. 1.6 all the way. The light glow is a dead give-away
I don't think I'm going to add the boulder-of-death. The map is already big as it is. Maybe if me n Srry do our zelda makeover i'll put in the boulder of doom.
I can't believe that guy was supossed to be a theoretical physicist.
Well i can see them now. Maybe it was just a bit too subtle to pick-up without knowing it was there.
If that makes any sense, I don't know.

Well nobody has played it yet captain, I have not even released it.
ANYWAY
My work schedule is the same today as it was yesterday. So my next step is going to be replacing the textures.
After that I have to place the paths on the ground, Finish the fence maze up near the entrance to that other maze where you get the Kokiri Blade.
Then I have to detail each house as it appears in-game, place weapons, mess with the lighting, add the sprites, and I'll be ready for the beta release!
I'll still be posting screenshots. So stay tuned. I may have something tonight.
- It's about time I'm excited about a mapping project again -
I admire your time-management skillsThanks for your admiration, but I feel my management skills are lousy. Of course that's just my opinion. Example: Immediately after work, i went to my dads house to play poker with a bunch of his friends and my brother. (i broke even) Anyway it ended up snowing last night and it took me 30 min to get home instead of 10 because i had to drive like 15mph because i was following some idiot in a hummer who was too afraid to turn on his 4 wheel drive. I drive that cavalier, mind you.

You can just hit CTRL before clicking a link, and in Firefox it pops into a new tab.
And With the PM thingy. I'm having a hard time telling which PM has been viewd, replied to, or is new.

Yes, habboi. I had to do some digging inside of the forum because the original link was dead, but i got the textures. I just have to convert them into bitmaps, load them into wally, and see where the best use for them is.
And i was also thinking about having the player teleport in and out of the houses, but I'm not too sure how that would work game-play wise. It's extremely simple to do, so depending on how play-tests go. I might implement them
@ Urb and Spike: Thanks
I was also thinking of modeling hearts and shields (Or rupees). To act as Medkits, and batteries, respectfully.
Next update may come tonight if i get out of work at a decent hour.. What a crappy day. I'm workint 10:45am - 3:00pm and then 4:00pm through... i don't know. Maybe 8:00pm ?? Either way, it's going to be a looonggg day.

Happy birth-day ant
WOAH!
after some digging i managed to extract those hi res textures, and they're quite amazing. All i have to do now is implement them!!
Next update will be big!

How about: "SIMply Fucking Amazing " for the band name.
When i get home (at school now) I'll check it out too.
I'm not to keen on source entities, but i'll give it a try regardless.

each button press can trigger 2 outputs. So i believe there can be a counter of some sort triggered from the second output of each button. (The first being, the switching of the door)
1)Room 16 leads to a dead end if you go down either of the long pathsHow many paths / possibilites are you dealing with?
I believe you can disable that no? I had it too.
and.. other people in this computer lab are looking at me funny

] at least we haven't been purchased.
I think the download links were shot there Habboi, i couldn't get a download.
Regardless, Here's 3 more screenies after a couple new textures, and some more brushwork.
Next thing i have to work on is getting some interior textures for the houses, making sure everything is accessible, then i have to move on to weapon placement, and sprite placement.
I plan to incorporate an off-set grid of yellow, gray and blue sprites to mimic the woods feel.
