Not going to lie , sounds a bit crap as there are quite a few limited things you can do with such a warped and twisted model. A similar idea would be a prefab or such of a rather large crystal ; this is better as it can easily be built around as part of a massive cavern , some mining complex or in the vaults of some scientific centre.
No dim , judging from when I uploaded BOG I must've been at least 8 years old when I was on this site , possibly 9. I take the cake as far as I know , I'm unsure about Dr.Mapper's age though.
Bruce , calm. Goldsource will still be used because of how simple it is to make stuff for it. No VMT's, no normal and bump maps , and detail isn't even required. Let him do what he wants.
St.. Stencyl?
Used to follow that like it was a religion until construct was released. I'd honestly suggest using construct rather than Stencyl.

The other good thing about the bomb scaffold is that the time taken to raise the new warhead will indicate when the murder button can be pushed. If it's at the top of the tower, then the button will be unlocked.
Murder button and all?You'd better believe it. Except it won't be an air strike , just an incredibly large supply of nuclear warheads. I was thinking of having one of those scaffold tower things that they used to drop-test warheads in the middle of the central courtyard , with all the buildings being plywood. I know it's really scarily starting to sound like Nuketown, but believe me , this won't be horrifically unbalanced.
nice chamfering!Total pain in the arse. You'd cry if you saw how many triangular brushes I used to make them.
Hint : It's totally not a remake of crossfire for the Conscript game , absolutely 100% positively nothing like that
I watched Avengers Assemble...
... Scarlett Johannson. Enough said.

I can see a massive flaw in that boilermaker , and it's that whomever is holding that gun is going to get charred hands pretty damn quickly.
I don't know if this lighting should be more orange for those hideously ugly sodium lamps
Wow. That's probably the best UT99 / Quake vibe map I've seen in years , noSICK. Well bloody done!
How does mid-june sound? I'm finished my exams by then and I've no idea what you guys think , but the start of summer so we have the whole of it to work on it ( I doubt anyone will , but at least it's plenty of free time) seems like an alright idea.
Drinks machine is also way too thin to be a drinks machine , unless it holds about 4 cans in total..
Not sure about the texture of the little pegs holding up that cannister... Warning stripe at the bit between it and the cylinder?

Good question though , when could we see a time for Compo 33?
Christ. I'd love to work at valve but honestly the way they work is just so... odd. I can't handle that responsibility , i'd crumble instantly. You must have some seriously good ideas and skills to work there , no wonder they hire people with multiple years experience...
the 'trippy map' idea as well as the music based one seem pretty damn good and would actually love to do either of them
I wouldn't use as harsh words as Bruce has but... it definitely needs improvement. More interesting floor , more texture variety , probably a nicer ceiling. What about a rock displacement roof with concrete "girders" going across it?
In fact , I'd rather do the "Yoker" sketch. I know almost the whole thing off by heart , that literally makes me piss myself every time I see it
Hm. Somebody give me a couple lines to say and the situation surrounding them?
Managed to get my semi-decent mic hooked up

Ah yes. It's clearly visible that you've learned from your temp ban and are totally not already heading down the permanent road.
Realised what it was. Had a viscluster that was clipping the waterbrush. Raised it slightly , bam. Beautiful , in my opinion.
Damn. Why is my water transparent?
Surprisingly optimised...
Mmm , who doesn't love curves?
Gunna make cables go from the top arches to the bottom. Nothing's probably going to come from this
Cool. If it wasn't for these fucking exams and practical exam I have next week , i'd be mapping like hell...
So does this mean that MotM is always two months behind?
Well looks like we all learn new things about hammer. I knew Ctrl + F , as well as that weird other keybind that can scale vertices as well for years , but it was only a month ago I learnt of shift-dragging
Bruce , ever heard of Ctrl+M , enter?
Automatically puts every vertex on grid.

Ow. After getting 'jizzed' on , crushed , burnt , confetti'd and sprayed on , today I can barely talk and my joints all hurt like hell.
I guess you could say last night was fun

Rammstein and deathstars. Right now , in Newcastle. So fucking buzzing!
Oh that's nice , the file no longer exists.
I worry for you dimbark. I really , really do.
Rammstein - Kokain
Joebama , what the fuck is wrong with you. Come to daddy literally sound like electrical noise blasted into your ears , with a cheesegrater and loudhailer placed somewhere in the middle.
Until I made a box. And then realised that you could move and scale the box.
~What made you start mapping in the first place?
I started mapping before I even knew what the word meant. My brother had worldcraft running in his (ridiculously short) mapping career , I just pressed random buttons until
~What was your first map?
The first map I really remember creating was a hollowed out green triangle , coated with a toxic water texture , that had 3 scientists magically floating in it. My first "released" map was B.O.G which you can still see in the map vault. It was an experiment and trying not to use hollow all the time.
~Where did you get inspiration for your first map?
If by inspiration you mean the random keypresses , then I'm going to assume my brain.
~To who did you show it & how did they react?
Nobody. I would die.
BOG , as i've said before , was uploaded here. General consensus was negative ; i'm not surprised.
~Your advice to future mappers/current mappers?
If you make something that's terrible , i'd suggest putting down your tools and walking away.
Just kidding , do the exact opposite. Work and chip away at any problems and errors , and remember to always experiment. You won't be a succesful mapper if you always work by someone else's rules - By experimentation and realisation of errors , you'll find your own way of mapping - and that'll be the best method.

Urby , what pun?
I used to be quite an avid drinker of coffee but that's been taken over by tea now. Yes , my story really is that bland.
I'm using VHLT however , just need to get the lighting right .I'm however going to be working with a different set of compilers that I've never used before , apparently they handle lighting better and have HDR settings or some other jargon I don't understand , for Conscript considering it runs on some custom build Quake based engine.
SnC games has a twitter account? news to me
It's a complete WIP at the moment , I know that the lights are too dark for that corridor right now , and I'm an absolutely anal bastard when it comes to aligning so that will definitely not be present in the final version. Right now I'm using a downscaled beta wad , but that's slowly being converted from that to a wad entirely of our own work.
Glass looks a bit horrid so I need to work on that , and some sort of trim between the desks and the floor. Ignore the disgusting panels on the right , placeholder until the conscript team gets some better computer textures.
The only mod I know that does this is Sven Coop. Totally no help at all , I know , but i'm merely stating that it's not supported in any current goldsrc games
Looks orgasmic Arch , probably the reason why a mess suddenly appeared in my underwear. The platforms look a bit bare , and I don't know why a multi-million dollar corporation would spray paint their logo ( rushed as well due to the paint drips ) onto their wall.
Du Reichst So Gut - Rammstein
I've managed to set it to RGB from Indexed and wally doesn't mess with it , works perfectly fine in Half life.
The whole 255th index thing seems completely pointless

So does the blue snowball still have a professional sound to it? Might go for that as the C01U seems like it'd take quite a bit from my pocket
Can someone suggest me a relatively cheap ( < £100) but great quality mic? Sure , nothing seriously professional but nothing that sound like i'm screaming through a cheesegrater.
