Decent little lappy. just got it for school.
Once i start classes again, i'm going to save up for a desktop and make that my primary gamer.
My specs right now are:
NVIDIA Geforce Go 7400
2gig ram
2ghz Dual core centrino
only 7.65 gig left on this 60gig HD BUT that'll be forced to change soon

It aint all about the light_environment. Try some texture lights for the darker areas.

try copying everything in the map, and pasting it into a new one. Then try compiling

and i didnt bother asking if you had the proper directory

Usually, the more money you spend, the better equipment you're going to get, and the longer it takes for the card to become obsolete, But check other users reviews, and you can also check newegg.com (a lot of 3rd party stuff but its hella cheap.)
I want it hard enough so that i feel as though it's a real accomplishment once I've beaten it.
But not like. "oh fuck this" hard

Lol.
I dont see how it's illegal. Like.. its going from a valve game.. to another valve game. Yeah, he distributed it, but for free, and i doubt anyone outside this collective has a copy of the 64mb zip

i mean 128 units high lol.. my 2 key blows sometimes...
what i'm doing now is having the floor and ceiling be one block 8 units high, and spanning the whole floor.
The sides are the outside wall texture.. top is floor2 floor texture and bottom is floor1 ceiling texture..
Is that allright you think?
I've been mapping for a few years, but i've never really used differing floors in buildings.

I know walls are 128 units high, and i also know stair height is 8 units high, but what about the separation between floors? Say you have 2 floors in a building. Both of the floors have walls that are 18 units high, but what about the in-between floors height?
You cant just go straight to the 2nd floor, the ceiling would take away from the wall height.
How bog of a separator do you guys put in-between floors?

Ok.. im just not in the mood fo map right now (i wish i was because i want to)
Maybe ill play some guitar and then draw up some more plans
EDIT:
played a little guitar, took a shower, and while i was in there, i thought of a new idea.. Scrap what i had because it's too advanced for me in my current mood lol.
I'm not as skilled as i thought i was but anyway...
Started working on another plan that i thought of in the shower... I just have some real fast game-renderings of it. Simple textures, basic layout first.. Some dev textures..

Yeah i'm gonna work on the main buildings before i even think about the skybox. I have to figure a good way to block it off anyway.
right now i'm using 16unit walls and making the basics (in brick)
working on the first floor of the northeast building. Just the wall layout (which parts i want blown out.. or windows) working on the stair situation...
Do you guys think i should have platform elevators or stick with like.. and open stairwell sorta thing?
Im also thinking about putting up a fire escape on one or 2 of them as a means of level climbing.. (there's only 4 stories so it shouldnt be too bad right?)
And i have one more question before i call it a night...
i know walls are 128 high but what about floors?
Like whats the proper distance between floors? For like ceiling and such?
I was playing de_dust in CS:S and i noticed about a 32 unit trim between the upper and lower parts in the tunnels... is that good or too much?

I have the theme i want.
And i just drew up designs for the level.
A Deathmatch map that takes place mainly on the rooftops of buildings.
Basically there's 4 buildings, and each building is connected to another somehow. But like.. there's craters everywhere, parts are blown out of the roofs and the walls.. floors...
loads of debris.. just a bunch of junk you can grab with the gravity gun and launch.
Theme is brick buildings.. urban neighborhood.. i know there's skybox buildings for it too.
I'm in the mood right now and i have the 4 buildings (just the walls and roof) in the right situation.
(i dont have any music on but i'll put some on now.)
The biggest thing is for me.. i'm really new to source mapping so i dont know the limits of the engine.. i'm not used to the detail needed for a level to not look bland... There's really not a lot of reference pics i'm finding for rubble...
So.. i guess now i'll start on the connections i want in-between the buildings.
[Does dev texturing really help you guys at all?]

They have to be a certain resolution and some other junk like that.
Rimrook knows all about that so send him a pm.

I really want to dedicate to one map in particular. Which means: i want to start a map, and finish it. Now that Muzz had a HL2DM server (kicks ass b.t.w.) Better maps can be released for the public.
I have a nasty habit of drawing up a design, starting to hammer it out, and then i just get bored with it too fast and i never seem to complete anything i start.
What do you guys do to have a map go from an idea to a finished product?
All too often i find myself just starting in hammer and not going anywhere with anything. And it's extremely discouraging because i want to finish a map, but never seem to actually have a final product.
Basically.. where do i start?

my point exactly
to be honest i really dont know.
Check the entity list
maybe there's like.. nav points or something

They dont exist for the map, so google maybeh?

Isnt there a way to make your own message come up on screen?

Use a multimanager.
Have the trigger_multiple trigger the multimanager which then will trigger both the env_message, and (i'm assuming you're using a ambient_generic?) the sound.
try that

I never really got into a mod.
Never stuck with ideas for an extended period of time.
Mapping ADD i guess.

Hey i just thought of something.
I dont know if it's been mentioned or not, but you know how if you click on the thread with the most recent post, it brings you straight to the last page?
Why can't every thread you click on bring you to the last page?
(gettin tired of clicking 4 or 5 times to read HL:HS)

Woah. ok there are WAYYYY too many point lights in that map. you dont need that many. Plus you can always just use texture lighting.

I'll compile the map see if it works or not.
EDIT
i got rid of 9/12 of your pointlights, compiled and ran the map...
