The focus of Pipeline is to bring a new generation into the video game industry with the right view on video game design. Valve is probably the best company to introduce the next generations of designers into the industry. Imagine if EA tried to do this...
Welp, I don't know about you guys, but this is totally awesome for me.
Why was it uploaded by somebody else?
Is it too late for entries?
Graphics and engine types aren't as important as how you use them.
Pokemon Black and White got good reviews because of its depth and size. For it to look like Crysis 2, they'd have to sink in millions of dollars that they don't have.
It doesn't matter what you can do, it matters what you actually do.
For instance, this is Final Fantasy 7.
And this is Final Fantasy 13.
Final Fantasy 13 can do so much more than Final Fantasy 7 in terms of story, looks, and gameplay. It just doesn't.
Final Fantasy 7 is a brilliant masterpiece of design, because it worked with what it had. Final fantasy 13 is a horrible, linear, straight line with one of the most awful video game stories ever, which constantly riddles its narrative with plot-holes and fills itself with pointless wandering... in a straight line. For hours.

Hey, look on the bright side. Maybe now we won't have to make mods on the newest engine manually. You know, when Valve gets this working.
I guess I'll just stick with CSGO until they fix Source again.
I've tried to change the settings, but to no avail. I'm installing this Source SDK Base 2013 (SP). I want to see what it is...
Yeah, your fix didn't really seem to work.
This happened.

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've tried to leap into the mod scene. But now that I am finally releasing maps getting 5000 subscribers on maps and getting on the front CSGO page, I'm thinking about making a Source mod.
I've got an idea for a pretty small, mappack-like mod, basically about escaping a Combine prison where they're turning to turn you into a stalker.
If anybody's interested in helping me out with mapping or helping me with designing levels, (and most likely teaching me half of the things I don't know how to do in Half-Life 2), send me a PM.

I am reading this thread and crying. 
Why do you guyz have to argue all the time?

Yeah, there's no more textlights.
If you want to map for Portal 2, Left 4 Dead 1-2, or Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, then don't use the Source SDK. Use their respective Authoring Tools, which are listed under "Tools" with the Source SDK.
I looove mapping! I'm finally good at it! GOOD AT IT!
Four years of practice finally paying off! I don't know why, but just taking this screeny has made me incredibly happy. I'm proud of it. The first map I'm going to put in my portfolio for the one day in the future that I will apply at Valve.
Nay; I don't agree with the last rule.
- HAVE FUN!
Don't forget to include me...
Also a functionality that enables long term members to revive threads. (2 years or more).How about, instead of long-term members being able to revive threads, we have a rule where you can revive a thread as long as it was made after you joined the forum.
I agree, a CSGO server would be nice.
Why is it called Graphics vs. Gameplay when the graphics were awful and the gameplay bullshit?
Instead of getting regular BF3, can I get BF3 premium?
That wasn't part of our deal Dimbark, it wasn't paaaaaaaaart!I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.
Just as I predicted, rufee.
Silly Habboi, you forgot to texture it.
I will not accept your well-designed and intrictate model unless you texture it, too.
k thanks

I'll do it myself for $250!
Now I just need someone to do it for... wait...

Hey guys, can you do me a favor, since we're on the topics of modelling favors.
Can you guys make me a giant prop_static that's extremely detailed and walk-aroundable of the Colleseum?
k, Thanks

But Stu, they actually did that.

Well, since I finished de_express, and learned the need of dynamic brushwork, I've started making a factory building.

Battle vs. Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts 2 is a pretty awesome one. Part of it involves running up and down a skyscraper, and... well, it's Kingdom Hearts 2!
Hmm... perhaps the Battle vs. Kuja in Final Fantasy 9 is my favorite. It's just plain awesome, the battle theme is probably one of the best in FF history, and Final Fantasy 9 is my favorite game of all time. Nostalgia....

HELLZYEAH
Because the only thing I was changing was a light_environment!
I don't have an older VMF, nor does it have anything referencing the light_environment.
It obviously has something to do with me opening it up in a new engine version. When I try to load it in Source Engine MP, Hammer crashes.

I've been working on a GMOD map, and I wanted to base its skybox off of one of my CSGO maps. So I decided I'd open it in the CSGO SDK and put in the light_environment, and when I tried to load it back in the Source SDK, it wouldn't work. I tried removing the light_environment, and the same thing happened...
How can I get the map to open in Source SDK? I even tried running the .vmx to no avail!

Does this also apply for Half-Life: Source?
Ross Scott has been dealing with the issue of people wanting him to use HD models in Freeman's Mind, but he said the sudden transition to the regular to HD models would be really weird in the series, so he chose not to do it.

Holy shit! This is probably one of the greatest maps I've ever seen!
My only two complaints are that the water's cubemaps might need some adjusting, and you can throw the bomb into the pit.
Would you mind if I ask for the vmf? I would love to take a look at your design style. (It's how I've learned mapping thus far.)

Alright, getting some official-er screenies out here.
Are you allowed to submit more than one map?
Gonna submit my italy-train map. Hey, aesthetics are important, according to the compo.
Does the same patch of sky appear correctly at a different viewing angle?Yes, but it's only at certain angles. I'll try and extend the skybox next time I get to mapping, DocRock.
