Wow, don't get me started about how much maps, 'projects' or whatnot i've abandoned... they go above 100. Especially my projects with a 'well thought out concept' were a succes.. in the complicated process of 'Open Hammer.. 'kay, where do I begin?.. Form 1 room.. 'kay, where do I continue?.. end Hammer' I gave up and went on to the next big thing.
I liked the league.. aswell. Just because it was a simple movie doesn't mean it can't be entertaining.
Liar, impulse 101 is a cheat! 
MOD stands for Massive Online Dildo. Obviously. 
Hah, glad to know i'm not the only one.
I haven't played Episode 2 yet (cba anyhow) and I skipped big parts from xen in half-life (I don't give a shit what you say... xen is crap).

I swear, you guys have way too much time on your hands.... each time someone tells about a clip 9 out of 10 responses are 'old'. 
Muzz, couldn't you host a server for a short peroid if you wanted? Perhaps we should arrange a TWHL 'oldskool HLDM memories' gamenight one time then.
I feel ya Muzz, the HLDM server was so much fun. 
I wanted to do it, but then I realised that I have no photoshop. :rly:
I had this brilliant idea last week... I had a whole vision in my head on how I want it to look. So I open hammer and then I then I realise.....ok, now what? Argh, you have this whole idea, but it gets ruined because you can't sort out which textures match and on what architecture designs they fit. I hate that.
I dunno, I sometimes miss those goldsource days. Hangin' out the nub with Ansith. T'was pretty entertaining. Playing our crappy maps on Muzzez HLDM server.. Now I just get great ideas, open hammer, close it after 5 min and that's that.

Aye, time's a bitch.
Every time I think about mapping I have a huge urge to do it because I remember how awesome it is.
But then when I start doing it, I lose all motivation and get bored within a few hours.
I have a bunch of great ideas for maps but just don't have the patience to get them done.
I want to get into mapping but I just cant. Oh well.Heh, you're reading my mind. I got the same thing. The last time, I seriously mapped, was about december/january 2006-2007. After that, I attempted to map a few times, but never got far.

Heh, I love this band.

I should try this mod, when I find time. 
Ever since 2003 music has been on a serious downward spiral. Especially with Raggetone and Rap.Aye, I agree with ZL, that's a incredibly narrow-minded viewpoint you got there. What you mean with the 'Raggetone and rap' part anyway? I know for a fact that most people here find the rap genre horrible music, but when I ask of which artist they think of when they think of rap are 50 cent, Snoop Dogg and Busta Rhymes I cry deeply inside.. I hate it when people generalize. I'm a enthustiac rap listener and when you actually look further than your daily 50 cent crap there's quite a bunch of good rap out there. If you don't like rap as a whole, fine, then it's just a matter of taste, but that doesn't give you the right to call the genre a bunch of crap and a reason of the 'downfall' of music. (You might not have said that, but it came across like you meant that.)
The 'downfall' of music as in, selling less CDs, might be true. But heh, that's the problem of shitty music labels. They still make profit. For the artist themselves it's only a good thing that most people download. Why? Because it gives them more exposure, which results in more concert tickets sold... and I hope we all know that a artist gets more money from concerts than CDs.

Certainly not bad for a first source map. 
Watch the movies, you dipshit.
Honestly though, I would pwn you all.
Why is this thread still going on?
Do I need to spell it out for you people!?!?!
Gordon Freeman is Oprah Winfrey and the G-man is obviously Dr. Phil.
SJEESH, KNOW YOUR FACTS PEOPLE!!!!

Do you really think they had HL2 and all the little "episodes" already planned out when they made that stuff?No, but Valve obviously thought about the story so it inclines (heh, is that even a word? :P) with the story of HL1.
Personally I think the vague story is one of the biggest parts what makes Half-Life one of the best games... EVER. (And no, i'm not a fanboy :p)
SPOILER
Gordon = Gordah = Goprah = Oprah.
Freeman = Manfree = Winfree = Winfrey
Do the math people!

Potatis,
How can you form ideas on how to improve the world, when you don't know what's going on in the world? I mean, how can you form ideas when you don't know what to improve in the first case? You can't form a worldview by just judging on the people around you.
How can you say you 'waste' time reading/watching/hearing the news?
News keeps you up to date in information and gives you new perspectives. Now on a other hand, news is pretty limited considering all the censoring and considering the fact they only broadcast the news that they think will bring a lot of viewers. Seriously, most people in the western society care much more about the twin towers than a tsunami in Asia (which leads to way more deaths..) for example. Your national news pays way more attention to the things happening in the 'western' world then outside happenings. But heh, that's human nature for ya.
Hopefully I got my point across, being the fact English isn't my first language things I write sometimes come across different for people that have English as first language or master it (almost) flawlessly. This isn't a flame by the way, just found a small content of your post a bit.. vague. See this as a reply that turned into a small rant that went outta hand.

I personally haven't really catched much information about what happened, the only thing I've heard is that help is being rejected by corrupted goverments.

Looks alright imho.
2.5 years? Wow, you sure are dedicated then. 
Looks a bit bland tbh.
I think it would look cool with bright red, over-the-top blood effects.Agreed!
I'm not really impressed by the mapping, but you got a solid concept however.
I'll be sure to keep an eye on this mod.

Halflife_genius, you shouldn't FORCE mapping.
I get the impression you might give up too fast.
Don't quit when some idea doesn't work like you planned it to.
Start simple, and expand from that. Skills will come. Learn and improve.
Have patience.

Instead of claiming tutorials, make them already, lazy bunch! :rly:
Even the old TWHL was pwning them.Aye. Snarkpit is extremely quiet. The snarkpit compo is a hopeless last resort on bringing some activity into the community if you ask me..
TWHL is #1 in goldsource mapping atm, no doubt about it.
Now lets kick Interlopers of the #1 spot in Source mapping.

It's mans nature to progress. It's mans nature to be greedy. It's mans nature to be spoiled. Hardly anyone who 'got' it, wants to turn that in. You what I'm trying say? The majority of todays people isn't willing to turn away, lets take a example, their car. The majority of todays people isn't willing to take the bike instead of the car to travel to their jobs.
Man rather wants to progress than to take a step back and delay the destruction of earth (delay, because nature warms the earth up aswell.... volcanos, that kinda stuff) for our children of tomorrow. It's a fact.

Doesn't look bad ZL, but it misses some 'flair' imho.
Flat-Life Suggestions and other stuff.
MS Paint ftw.
Flat-Life Suggestions and other stuff.
- A zoom in/out function in top-down (perhaps side-view aswell) with the scroll-button would be nice.
- The crowbar should be holden sideways, when attacking making a 180 spin, it just adds to the coolness and increases range of hit.
- There is no flag bug as far as I know. Atleast, I don't see the fact that you can't cap the enemies flag when your own flag isn't in base as a bug. It's only a good thing.
- As for the power-ups: +50% speed, 10 seconds of godlike (Unkillable), suicide splash.
- I haven't had the suicide bomb yet? Is it extremely rare? I tried many times.
- Rename Freshed-bot to FresheDs Slave or Freshies Slave
Yup. Crappy site (adware ftl) tho.
Flat-Life time now!

Not always the case. Some sur-real maps have been extremely popular. Can't name any right now though.Most HL maps, especially HL1 maps, have a very unrealistic sense to them imho.
It only helps increasing originality.
Surely you can create realistic enviroments, but even then a specific enviroment gets spiced up with for example, pillars, that in reality don't belong in that specific area one is creating. Why? Because it makes things more interesting. Not all games are realistic WW2 games..
Anyone else think thats a good idea? Not too sure myself.Why not? It can only help.
I swear, when rimrook jumps off a cliff, you'll all follow his sorry ass.

Now on topic.
I understand you're full of ideas, but keep them humble and try small projects first. Develop your skill and have patience. It's not like, wow, I've mapped 1 week already, IM SKILLED IMA MAKE MOD LOLZ. Strive for perfection and just learn.

Strive for perfection and just learn.and if freshed actually read the compo page he would know:I did, but thanks to my limited English I ended up getting confused.
Some things were completely speaking against each other... you know what I mean? Ah well, never mind. Thanks for the answers PB and Moocow.
I'm going to attempt to recreate and mix 2 UT maps, in a totally different vibe, yet still capturing the actual UT maps atmosphere. But heh, not promising to enter or even finish it. I'm taking my time.
I must point out that you don't have to make the exact same map - i.e. you can change the texturing, you can change the models (anything to get out of making custom content, if you are unable) - as long as the map represents the map in the screenshots you provide.Does that mean, that I can texture the map totally different from the actual map? Does that mean, I gotta map the areas I took screenshots of to the point exact architectural wise?
custom content is allowed, but only if you made it yourself. the same goes for custom code. just remember we will not be judging the custom content or code.I fail to understand. I mean, you guys will be judging on texturing, which can be custom, right? Does that mean I can't use custom textures, if I haven't made them myself?
Sorry if this has been asked before.
That was ehm...............different?
