Yeah some times I just encircle some complex but not to vast archtitecture tightly with a nulled wall then tie the archtitecture to a func_wall to make the work for vis and rad easier. If I want to make bsp's work easier then I place a clip brush around the archtitecture- Simplifies the 1st-3rd hulls. :)

Don't bug me about screens as I'm only going to start it as soon as the compo ends. We have plenty of time!

Why not, we can always add ideas, this is TWHLmix, we can always add maps, there is no connection between each other. Think of a theme, and a title, just so we could persume what you are doing. Something like waste dump, or reactor core...ect

My friend put his through a washing machine and a dryer, and after a little drying out, it worked perfectly.
So? I'll tell you whats very well made. My old trusty walkman fell off my house(2 floors, each floor a bit higher then 2 meters tall and a roof, that makes it about 5 meters) then a stone brick fell on it, nothing happend to it and it plays as soundly as ever. Plus it's ~30 years old. If it were still easy to find casstes or copy to them then I would use it. The minor loss of quality isn't that noticible and bad. Only if you play it at top volume (which will ruin your ears so you wont notice anything anyway ;) ) you will notice the low quality.

But now I just use a diskman, I don't listen to much music and don't love so many bands so I have no problem with it. If I carry with me each time ~6 disks in a bag It's better then anything else. And who needs more then that. If each disk has approximetly an hour of music then they all suffice for whole 6 hours of listening, and I'm not sure nobody listen that much to music so I say it can keep me happy for a whole day. :)

Well I will use costum textures, not sure if I'll make them or use gunman's. Making some for one of my recent maps improved my skills with photoshop and now I think I can make almost any metrial from metal to stone, yet I think gunman's will still be better. I'd use gunmans, concidering that the textures in it are mighty nice. :)

I'm crazy about this pic, especially that black object in the middle, how did you make it? :P

GAMEPLAY:
Action, maybe few puzzles and of course the destruction countdown at the end.

CUSTOM STUFF:
Textures and sky, gonna be in space.

WEAPONS:
Donno yet, maybe a few high tech weapons but mostly the standard ones, no alien.

LOCATION:
A base in midth of space on an asteriod. Already have the sky to give the right feeling.

LENGTH:
Don't know how many maps and I don't really know how to determine the length in minutes.

Does anybody really needs that screen to watch clips? It's useless, you'll probebly only use that screen once or twice but then stop. Besides who needs all these MP3/MP4 players, I prefer my old MP3 Diskman, No need to browes for hours through a long list of songs, only open a bag and choose the disk I like.

Use a texture without the ! mark. That mark means that if the water brush will be tied to any entity only the top face will be visible, it happend to me too when I tried to make a portal but only the top face had water on it the other were invisible. :

Done making most of the textures, archtitecture is now really finished, only problem is that I can't find modelers for me statues. I might be able to submit it without them and in someplaces replace them with poorly textured and built replicas. But when I'll get these models I'll repost me map in the vault, or if seventh would be kind enough to replace the map since this compo is concerend with the mapping not modeling.

As for rowleybob, He was nice, but I'm not really sad because- this is the internet you can't make personal connections in here... unless you are quite lonely. The only thing that really annoyed me is that he couldn't define between a 5 star and a 4 star map, maybe sometimes 3 star.

I'd love to do the hub map, but i need to know how to do the transition from the hub map to the other levels.
I think it should be like this: you'll design the hub after you'll get all the enteries and know how people want the player to return from their map.

in TWHL Mix 2? Post #213865
Last one strider. Only that I think you should make the hub last, after all the mappers will send you their maps. This way you could match the entrences to the exits from the maps.

in TWHL Mix 2? Post #213807
No thank you, the reactor is enough and I wont take your part, as I understood from the portal you made, you will make the hub. I am just advicing you to make a bigger portal, it will look better and make it look like it's the center of the whole mod. Doesn't have to be a star gate, it can everything you like, something like Hl1's portal or the one you can see in my profile, but it's up to you. But I beg of you to make it big, remember how big it were in Hl1 and what an impression it left on you when you first saw the portal.

But if the hub is the portal, then what is the holder?
Posted 17 years ago2007-02-25 05:08:25 UTC
in TWHL Mix 2? Post #213800
This is the portal? No offence but I expected something big and fearsome. This tiny and crude object looks like it can be powered by one of those battreys the HEV suit uses.

Besides isn't that the portal holder it self? The portal is the pink/green/blue gateway that is created by the holder. I think you confused between the two

I never mapped for source but I can still say that that tower doesn't look right. Such a vaunrable building with so little support can never be made out of solid stone and bricks, it would crumble the moment it's built. I made long ago a watch tower just like this one, but it was made of wood and the roof out of steel! It didn't look like it was going to crumble each moment and looked like it's real. Here is a pic:

Daubster both the base and holder aren't, choose each one you like. And Dragon Fly, I prefer to use my own battery design, this way it's original and more intresting. I thought on making something completly diffrent that doesn't look at all like a battery and much bigger. Such a small and crude device doesn't seem like it's going to power the whole portal. ;)

elon the point of the map is to get a part and bring it back, doesn't matter how its brought back tho, it could be a specific crate or in a shipping container, or teleported, or transported by train or whatever.
Yes and when did I counterdict this? I just noted that you should use sometimes a more intresting transation between the levels then just a boring old keycard.

As I understand there is a central hobb that all the maps are connected to, each mapper makes a single map. Ok! I might concider to join once this compotition is over, can you keep battery 1 clear for me, ok?
By battery do you mean power generator, if so then good! I have an idea already. You probebly want to destroy the generator, if so I can make a whole puzzle out of it, all around that nice huge reactor. First you'll need to shut of the coolent system then overload the reactor, then you have a minute to get out of the level.

I think the central hub should be the portal connected by tubes and stuff to all levels. It can be really cool, I always wanted to do something like that. And all mappers should keep in touch with the mapper of the main room, I'm sure some would like special stuff to happen after they leave their map! :biggrin: As for myself I would like the whole wall to colapse on the door blocking your way to the level. And then a laser beam will apear opening your way to the next area. I think it'll be cool. :)

As for a reason why you want to destroy the battery and hence close the portal- Aliens are invading earth through it.

I think I should change my name too, it's silly to use my real name on the internet, and since we are talking of dudes how about- "Caco Dude"? It fits my cacodeamon avatar.

Oh there is a handle on the door! :lol:

As I understand from the first pic the origin of the door in your map and the one of the handle are in the same spot. This would be needed if the button was first a door that will rotate like the door does, but since the handle follows the door anyway it'll need the origin like in the 2nd pic since it needs to know around which axis to rotate around when it is used. In your map it rotate's around the door origin. So I guess you'll need to do as in the 2nd pic.

The only thing I can see that might go wrong is that the handle wont change it's direction as the door does and will head the the same direction. If it doesn't change direction, then I really don't know how to help you, maybe there are entities that can do this in spirit, ask unbreakable.

I should someday return to modeling my self... but it seems so silly to use Gmax when I have maya on my brothers computer, if I could only convince him to teach me how to use it. It looks alot easier to create stuff in it, especially because I now need to do an extremly difficult and curved pipe model. In Gmax it's rather hard to draw the lines(although I've done it) and then turn it to 3D, in maya all I need is to use a NURB. :
Maybe I could find tutorials and teach myself. But only after I'll master texture creation...

Good for you first few models, though the wood texture is rather streched.

Ouch I'm confused! You want to make this thing:
A levitating cube functioning as a button
                           |
                           | Activates
                           |
A doble door comes into the room and also another button moves in
                           |
                           |
                           |
That button suddenly acts werid and spins around the map's origin(0,0,0) like he hasn't a origin brush
Am I right? I assume you made the button follow an invisible func_train or something like thay, like I did in here. If so then the only thing that I think can go wrong that the train has no origin brush... Can't think of anything else, sorry :tired:
