Calm yourself. If a game includes a seperate DLL from normal half-life that needs THAT dll to run it is separate from HALF-LIFE! Where does CS get it's differences from half-life? the code in the DLL! That's it.
what does the page mean when it says 32 units per floor? what's a floor? 32 units is nothing I hope he doesn't mean the whole city...

No spirit! The map will be tested with normal half-life. It's just a mini compo about brushwork, don't turn it into something more than it is.
grr stupid job! I would love to work on this compo, but working 10 hours a day is hindering it. IF I have time, expect an entry, but I don't know if I can.
My vote is for no spirit. Having custom textures or models is one thing, but spirit is another freaking game.
I only suggested the 512x512 thing if we were connecting them together, if not, there shouldn't be a limit.

SP MAPS are hard to find, mods are much easier.
Yeah me too. I have an excellent idea too 
great! type up the rules and we;ll get right on it
SO we have
Make a bland room beautiful:
Take a room (or more) and make them reaaaaaaly cool looking, like hl2 ish.
or
Model a mini-town/village:
You have a 512x512 limit to make a mini city or town. The squares are so you can join them together easy. Or if not you can just make a really large scale (but little buildings) map of a city.
I like both of them.

I like the idea of having a little (one room) basic, boring room and turning it into a 10000 wpoly brush-topia.

Maybe like an advanced prefab contest? That twisted pillar was kind of like a prefab Make something insanely cool looking that can be implemented into other maps. Judging based on appearance and complexity

I would think you're funny but I know that you don't do those things.
I have a whole setup on the toilet. I place a little table for my book or magazine(s), open the little medicine door for privacy, make sure the shower curtain is closed, and turn on a portable heater. Then I relax for an hour. 
Wierd huh?
Wierd huh?
Jimmi other countries have independance days too...we're not forcing you to celebrate another country's independance day, we are just saying have a good one to the americans here. Geez
Jimmi that logo is too how you say..immature for a website.
All I noticed is someone screwed over the title when they erased the snowflakes from christmas time. They didn't have backup of the image and now it has little ugly spots all over it.
it's still pronounced like powned, but it's like "lol" you don't say it you just read it.
Good idea jimmi, I was looking for ways to improve my skylights. Where did you put the entity in the map?
yes!
whats the pay?
Haha aren't you lucky seventh? You get all the positive responsibilities of webmaster. You can change what yu want, but you don't have to pay for anything! Ha!
awp should be way up there.
Sounds like fun. Imagine how happy you will be when you get it fixed!
slobber, driping and squirting...ohh baby light my fire
Or you could edit the sound with a program like Goldwave (google it) and delete the cue points that make it loop.
If anything hl1 is better, because you actually have to know what you're doing. You get more satisfaction from making a great hl1 map because it requires a ton of skill, while hl2 maps are easy to make impressive.
Although it probably does twist 180 degrees, it doesn't look like it. Intead of a twisted arch it look like it was carved from stone or something. But it might just be the wireframe that makes me think that.
Actually, I won. I just didn't split the wedges correctly
Yeah lol the crappiness it what makes them funny. You say in your mind "OMFG that was so STUPID" as you chuckle about how clever the wording is.
It might be a simple problem of you don't have the name of the onster correctly spelled. Make sure the name of the monster equals the name in the entity box. monster_slave or whatever.
Show us the map srry, I want to see how you did it. Please? lol
Ugh that would take HOURS upon HOURS to do by hand. I guess this guy is patient enough. I'm not
Here's one.
A mother and baby get on a bus. The driver says "man that baby looks like a dog!" the mother is deeply hurt and takes a seat near the back. A man next to her asked why she was upset. She told him about the driver. He became engraged. "You should go yell at him!" The lady says "You're right I should!" The man goes "I'll wait here while you do that. Want me to hold your monkey for you?"

What I don't get is why they became full of errors. My method of twisting a level of brushes by 10 degrees and lining up the bottom verteces obviously isn't what the guy used. I must know how he did that. This proves that it's possible, but he did it some other way. Grr
I MADE IT!!!!!!! and there were no invalid brushes! But as I tried to move it hammer crashed. There must have been 2000 brushes in the single pillar. I'll try to make it again, but I don't think hammer can handle it.
Here is a screenshot, I tried to compile and every brush got an error. (but they are all simple triangles?)

haha nothing is as easy as the clip tool.
It looks like a model in the screenshots, because there are like NO angles at all in the curves. I'm still trying to do the z-rotated thing.

You can't just rotate them on the z-axis, the transition while twisting isn't smooth. And if you try to smooth it it out by lining up all the bottom verteces you get invalid brushes. I tried it, it doesn't work. He must have some special method for doing it.
omfg...how did he do the pillars I must know I MUST KNOW I will kill to know.
Lift it for strength
Stand on it for balance
Kick it for whatever martial art you do

It really is a fun little....trigger setup isn't it? Thanks for asking the question in the first place Clueless, never would have thought of this.
Umm that would do nothing :D. It's not floppy drives here.
I gave up on routers. I can't find ONE ISDN router that can be used the the US. So I have to stick to this old one from like 95 and hope it never breaks.
If it's so impossible how did they do it in half-life eh?
Is hammer the only thing that doesn't work?
I havn't tried the killtarget way of getting rid of them, dunno if it will work or not.
--Later
Oh em gee it worked! Elon your way is much more practical than my way haha. Here are your steps Clueless
Name each of your monsters that the player actually sees before he gets the item, have them all be the same name
Set a trigger_once under your item
Have it's "killtarget" be the name. Now all the monsters disappear, and you can spawn in evil ones with monstermakers.

I only use steam to play online, and WON to map, so I don't pay any attention to it really. if it works with won it works with steam.
I found it. First you have to have the latest HL update, then you have to get the transparency hw and sw dlls. I got it to work The dlls came with firearms.
The dlls came with firearms.So I have models with the blue transparency in them, but when I load them into a map they just stay blue. How do I get models to be see through?
IDIOTS!!! As soon as he picks up the item (trigger_once anyone) he HAS THE ITEM!! This is so simple. Just have the trigger_once target a multi_manager which targets for teleporting. This is NOT hard, you just have to trick the player.
You don't need the freaking item to do anything, just put a trigger right under it.

Dang man multi_managers are the easiest entities. If you can't use those you can't map for anything but..like..deathmatch.
