The texturedata parameter for all compile tools is -texdata #.
Where # is the amount of memory, in kb. Like -texdata 8192 (8 mb)

Ok. So, new mission objective:
Design a room and make it as detailed as you can. Only default HL texture allowed. No basemap. Extra points can be earned with:

I've never used the Cordon tool. I never got it to work. Also, i don't comile my maps with the built-in Hammer compiler, i use HLCC, wich is a compiler front end that uses .bat fles.
If you put mapname.rad in the same directory as your .rmf, the compile tools ignore the rad file in the tools dir and use that one.

wow muzzleflash you killed the whole creativity part of the compo thanks. Now we have to stick to ugly lab textures. count me outHmmz. You're right. :S Scratch that.
What about this:
Design a room and make it as detailed as you can. Custom textures allowed. No basemap. Extra points can be earned with:
- Combat
- Story (simple)

Thats considered stealing.
Func_vehicle is what you need.
Design a car out of world brushes, and tie the enitre thing to a func_vehicle. Im not sure if an ORIGIN brush is required.

As for .rad files, as far as I remember you could give VIS some parameters to let it know what extra .rad files to use.I have no idea where you got that from, CP. There is no such thing.
mapname.rad works fine anyway.
As for my Compiler front end, its kinda dead. Stupid text encoding problem!
Working on the map now. Style is LAB1_W. 
Edit: Hmmm... Im changing the rules a little.
I have created a small map with a short boring hallway, and a crashed elevator. Its up to you to add more detailed hallways, detailed rooms and whatnot, as long as you maintain the original texture theme.
Mapping time: 5 days.

CP: can you get a page up and running a.s.a.p?
Send your entries to: minicompo_detail@themightyatom.nl
Good luck.

Ok. Ill construct a very basic room, with just the original textures from halflife.wad. See how creative you can be with just the low quality textures from Half-Life.
Rules:
Rules:
- No custom textures
- No models (to spice up the architecture) Brushes only!
- Custom sounds are allowed.
- Maintain the original architecture of the map (changes to the original map is not allowed, pretty much like the current Source Compo.
- Adding additional rooms is allowed, but will not be judged.
Andy ftw...
Im unable to compile and test your map because you used custom wads. I don't have those wads, let alone installed CS. So...
All right, ill give it a try.
Perhaps this will be usefull to you: http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=71
It comes with an example map, and its explained very well. Try that.

Oh well, i figured, what the hell. I don't care anymore.
HEY! I have returned.
My turn.
I still vote for the uber detailed room.

@Muzzle: you're in?Nope. Im afk this weekend, so no time to map. Also, this "minicomp" takes a little more time than i had in mind at the start of this thread.
Good luck to y'all.
I'll participate in the next minicompo.Ftw.

I thought you were going out of town this weekend too?!True.
You win, CP.
Muzz, what do you mean with the texturing in max? I hope your not using any of the stock textures?No. Its still is pain. When i finally got my texture applied on my model correctly, its looks horribly off in HLMV and HL. :/ No errors in log. Bitmap is 8 bit.
I think the "model city" idea wins for the first compo. I like the "High poly map" idea as well, so maybe we can do that for the next one:/
Uhh, i came with the first idea. Soo...i think the High Poly Map should be the first mini compo, then the model city second.
Also, you call this "model city". Does this mean actually MODEL a city? With models? Or just brushes without or with models?

Im not so sure about this. You have many unnecassary brushes on that part, which increases r_speeds. Probably not a big problem at this stadium, but its always a good idea to keep things as efficient as it can be. For example, you have a shape like this in that screenshot:
| 1
| /
Its a just a question of Vertex Manipuation or clipping (cutting).

ITS A FRIGGIN SLIGHT ENGINE MODIFICATION AND A NEW FRIGGIN SLIGHTLY MODIFIED FGD! ITS LESS MODDED THAN CSTRIKE!:/
Kid, Spirit isn't a new game. It isn't even a mod. Its a tool-kit. With more features then CS, so that statement of yours is bull.
What? Don't believe me? Download its source and see how modded that is. :/
I still vote for the uber high poly room type of map cuz to me this sounds like it won't take to much time to actually map it.
No uber detailed small city map. Its gonna take a whole lot more time to map that.
Oh and: I can do some very basic modelling in Max. Animating included. But the way the texturing works in Max is crap, just like it is in Milkshape. But i can tell you this, Max wins when it comes to texturing.
Why the heck im i telling you this? Just showing off, i geuss.
Oh FTW of it.
FTI? Is that something new?
Crap. Now i think of it, im going away this weekend. I won't be back until tuesday. Oh well.
Good idea.
That should keep us busy during the source compo.
How about base map minicompo. Just a boring little room. Up to us mappers to change this into a complicated/fancy brushwork map.

Why Source? Rimrook won the "HLDM server map", and that was months ago! Why do you keep him waiting?
True.
Nems Batch Compiler may look to complicated for beginners, HLCC however is more userfriendly.

@ Kasp: Ok. Just let me know when i can download and upload it to the server.
@ Orph: From the screenshot:
It looks kinda bland and flat... Why don't make a new cool DM map? Im sure you've improved your mapping skills over time, right?
@ Orph: From the screenshot:
Sheesh! You guys never sleep? Oh wait, its other side of earth, where its day...
I paid freakin' money for it, thankyouverymuch.
Edit: The Floating_Point zip file appears to be damaged. Please check.
@ Orph:
Get mapping...
I want Floating Point and Tinnos in the server rotationConsider it done! Now play on my server, dammit! Allo over you!

What the hell. It dit not work? I may have to look into that myself. Ill do some testing tomorrow. Ill let you know.
You need hlstats for that, which 100% php. I don't know shit about php.
For putting his maps on the server, I guessI hate to say it, but i removed them. People didn't really liked them. Im sorry.
Will that be on twhl3?Dude: http://twhl.co.za/servers.php
Thanks for what?
Just place the button on the side where you want it to open, and don't put anything on the other side.
Thats... a pitty.

A multisource acts as an AND gate, it will trigger its target once all the other entities targeting the multisource are activated (ON state).
You can also use a multisource to trigger a specifiv event after a certain event has been achieved, like adoor that only opens after you've picked up a security card (item_security).

Oh boy!

To make glass, you need to apply a glass texture on a brush. So use the texture browser to find a suitable glass texture (you can filter on glass to search more efficient)
Now make a new brush, select it and tie it to a func_wall. Open its properties and set rendermode to texture, and fx amount to 50.
Done.
You can also have breakable glass. For that, you need to turn your brush into a func_breakable.

Nice Muzzie!Tnx!. Ill put in the Vault, with a video walkthrough... Ye like?
You should put it in the vault and add a quick walkthrough, because I'm too lazy to figure out exactly how you did it

Well, your pilar makes a 45 degree rotation, mine makes a 180 degree rotation and has an arch. It may be smaller, but ah well.
