enjoy

To much detail in my first map, hl engine couldnt handle it. I went over several limits r_speeds wasa one 6000 it was agood level that just did not make it out to fruition. All the teleports had the enterprise startrek energise sound and all the sounds i had made custom. I had made this freaking awesome jumpad in the gorge to get places, and a button to activate the song prayer by disturbed. it was really freaking cool, but there was to much of everything. I gave up after it said I was considerably over several limits, i think one was leaf portals. The limit is 64000 i was at 128 000 lol I ended up just deleting half the level and I have an old version of it on the hard drive .I might work on it again when i am more skilled

the name of it was pillarbox and at one time i had a version of it in the unfinished who knows maybe one of you out there has aversion they can send my way of it?lol

one good thing i did do was not carve or skybox
but after that the design was just not inclined for the hl engine. It would work better on the source

right now i have 3 maps coming out soon one is a nightmarebefore christmas level and another is a zelda theme and i have a killbill map that im working on as well

from this thread i see their is a lot of testosterone and ego's floating around!
i totally think that would be great rimrook.But you have been helpin out and with your journals and your compile notes and relenquishing of your rmf's in most levels youve been helping more then others. but if your willing to spare some time for example maps and texture help,and possibly tutorials that would be awesome!!!!!
have you tried your hand much at the modelling yet?
well now i think this trhead is officially over

............

There is another good program out there, the freeware version works fine it is called texturemaker and has a feature called text tract.

say you have a picture load it into the textract option, and then circle piece you want to turn into texture say a piece of fabric on a guys arm or the brick on the side of a building. You then have options to sharpen and flatten and then you can make tiled. Its a good option to have and helps!!!
check it out on google enter the phrase texture maker a link should come out

yeah!! thats what I am doin right now learning. but I am not going to be able to have a good enough model for this particular map ready for the release date on the 30th.

thats what ive been doing since lack of reply to this thread

Nobody skilled enough?

VIVENDI UNIVERSAL GAMES ANNOUNCES PLANS TO LAUNCH

THE MOST ANTICIPATED PC ACTION GAME OF 2004

Half-Life? 2 to Ship to Retail Outlets Globally This Holiday Season

LOS ANGELES (October 18, 2004) ? Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games) today announced that Half-Life? 2, the sequel to one of the most critically acclaimed PC titles in gaming history, will ship to retail outlets around the world in November. The Company confirmed that Half-Life 2, developed by Valve Software, has gone gold with a planned retail street date of November 16, 2004. The countdown to the highly anticipated retail street date has begun around the world, as VU Games completes plans to ship localized versions of Half-Life 2 simultaneously in English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Korean, Thai and Japanese.

?Half-Life 2 has surpassed our expectations in every sense ? its high-quality graphics, ground-breaking physics and immersive first-person shooter gameplay set a new standard for PC action games,? said Bruce Hack, CEO of VU Games. ?Half-Life 2 will go down as one of the best-selling PC titles, and we are thrilled to deliver this ground-breaking title to the worldwide gaming community this fall.?

Hailed as ?...the best game ever made? by PC Gamer, Half-Life 2 earned a top-rated review score of 98, the highest score bestowed by the magazine in more than six years. The game has received numerous accolades for its technical excellence, captivating story and addictive game play, including more than 10 awards and nominations at the 2004 Electronic Entertainment Expo. In addition to being named ?Best PC Game? by 1up.com (Ziff Davis) and Gamespy.com, the title also received a ?Technological Excellence on PC? award from IGN.com. CNNMoney.com stated that ?Half-Life 2 will redefine what gamers expect from their games visually ? and the gameplay is a lot of fun as well.?

The global anticipation for Half-Life 2 has reached unprecedented heights, as consumers around the world mark their calendars to buy the game at retail on November 16th. The Half-Life 2 product will include Counter-Strike: Source. VU Games will also release a Half Life 2 Collector?s Edition that will include Half-Life 2 in DVD-ROM format, Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life: Source, a free limited edition t-shirt, and a Half-Life 2 Prima strategy guide book.

The original Half-Life game was launched in 1998 under VU Games? Sierra Entertainment publishing label. It earned more than 50 game-of-the-year awards and has been heralded as one of the best PC first-person shooter games of all-time.

About Half-Life? and Half-Life? 2

In 1998, Half-Life revolutionized the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling. Valve?s debut title was named ?Best PC Game Ever? by PC Gamer and launched a franchise with more than eight million retails units sold worldwide. In 2004, Half-Life 2 will take the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original to new heights of realism and responsiveness. Half-Life 2 opens the door to a world where the player?s presence affects everything around him, from the physical environments to the behaviors ? even the emotions ? of both friends and enemies. The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist, Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted and its population dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people ? people he cares about ? are counting on him. The intense, real-time gameplay of Half-Life 2 is made possible only by Source, Valve?s new proprietary engine technology. Source provides major enhancements in the advanced facial animation system, physics, graphics and AI. Half-Life 2 will be available for the PC.

nor was eye to u with my latest post this is mainly an in general study of the bs politics on here. i get paid to deal with politics at work but i do not get paid here. im here cuzi share one thing in common with all of "u"
and that is the love to "create" so wether i type in proper lingo or not is incoherent to the fact we all oliekto map
im trying to say to everybody focus focus focus

just to add one more thing if u stil want to use proper english in typing that is cool i dont bother u about it u probably have a lot of time on your hands so there foreu can tweak it where as not everybody is home all day to have that time to do so some of os work for a living and dont do ther regular 8hour 9-5
and when that happens im sure ull understand that on the net ur not going to bother with typeo's when u have a limited amount of time on your hands its pointless really pointless and for someone to call someone a moron for not typing properly is a moron him or her self for not know ing maybe they have lots of time on their hands but other dont so they use that time more wisly and efficiently for ex the time its taken for me to post here is half the time it would of been if i had actually proof read it put periods in and all that shyte if u speak good english in the first place and comprehemnd it quite well then u should have no problem deciphering it

i am wiling to accept a n apology from u guys when u open your eyes and see this!! no hard feelings by the way that post was the little guy on my shoulder speaking out at the world and anyways the keyboard is a disability in general we normally talk so any one willing to type on keyboard is at the mercy of atleast a -5 handicap depending how fast u normally talk to peeps

here is my favourite word "u" do u understand what it means on the internet? if not then piss off u

and that goes to all of u

do u understand you = u it is internet slang are we not on the internet I say who ever gets vexed at that does not understand the internet and
should there for not be on rather in a writing block or in freakings novel camp either givin the teach a blowjob or an apple which ever gets u the freaking "a" im sick of this shit almost every thread there is some idiot making some stupid comment on writing dont u guys get it that last post i made about spelling i was freaking mocking u all lighten u p u airheaded pompuses and freaking well map i wil not from this day ever again use grammer ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and u guys have ruined that
like i said this is the internet
i know i have proper english in the REAL WORLD so i have nothing to prove to u pompus shits hear that have nothing better to do then pic at peeps why cant we all just get along there are so many idiotic haters on here it isnt funny .for a community like i said before this place is very negative now for the rest of u that actually come hear to map and not
worry about the bull shit politics that have infected this website lets get along and finish what the manifest destiny of this site has set out to do make great maps for a great game
