If you know a better program to rescale my screenshots...

Info_player_start is for CT, info_player_start_deathmatch is for T. Since the T's have no spawn-points, their team is full... if you can say a team that allows 0 people can be full...
Worst tool... the carving one then. I carve manually using the vertex tool. Much better, much more predictable...
I use 1600x1200, and I resize the screenshots 50 % in paint. Gives some sharpening effect sometimes... 
Textures are indeed somewhat repetitive here and there, and maybe too clean for the theme too. I know that. I'm working on it. Some decals may break the repetitiveness of the textures a bit, I guess...

Perhaps a dedication to all the people who lost their lives would be in order somewhere in the map.
Yes... that should be good. Reports of deaths range from 300 to 300.000. Some people even say around 400.000 died... What happened there was horrible... It happened a few days after I was born.

That's Legacy, hazardous. The textures come from Nightwatch if I'm not mistaken. At least it has to do something with Nightwatch. Also a mod to keep your eyes on...
Sector Gamma is a HLDM map based on the Chernobyl reactor. 18 years ago now the reactor had a melt-down, resulting in a grave disaster.
I have decided to use only self-made textures for this map. Some of the screenshots still show HL or CS textures. These are still to be replaced.
Enough talking, here are the screenshots:

Yeah... I'm waiting...
Well, let me tell something about what happened with/to me a year ago. Someone had an idea for a 'crazy fun mod'. I liked it so I joined. At last, we had 5 people who wanted do go for it. It quickly shrunk to 3...
These 3 went on. Well, after a while all 3 where still there but only one really worked. Not me... So at last we decided to stop it. It was not gonna work.
You see, we had no idea, no plan for the mappack. Well, a vague idea, a sort of concept but we never detailed it and never put on paper what our goals were, working kinda isolated, only now and then sharing some maps. That was all. After a while, we had no will to map for it anymore. It was no fun anymore and we didn't had the idea it was really important no more...
Well, I'm not that experienced modder, I can only tell fromthis experience now...
So I want to say: know what you're doing from beforehand. SunTzu said: A good general wins the war before the troops engage... A bad general engages first and seeks victory after that...
So: plan it first...

I saw I can't delete my own comments on a level. I made one on my own level (detention) and it turned up to be posted there 3 times. It would be good to be able to edit and/or delete your own posts...
I'm a Captain, ministeve... 
Yes Sir Maxisteve!
Yes Sir Maxisteve!
The 'skin' key. What value's correspond with what things? You also found that out?
I get the seam. Just moving some vertexes should do the job. I'll remove the seam. Thanks!
OK. I tried func_train_func_breakable but it isn't recognized bij the HL dll. The name has to be an exact match.
Too bad...
Too bad...
r_speeds are 500-600, 800 at some specific spots.
Textures are HL and CS textures, I'm using them as stand-in textures because I want to create textures for the map later on.
jobabob:
1) The wood texture is too repeating? I'll think about it when creating my own.
2) Horizontal seam? What's that? (I'm Dutch... ;))
3) More feeling to the map like mist or a fog-like something... good idea... I was planning a waterfall area, wich could use a lot of mist yes... And I'm going to add a clove that's open in the top, e.g. you can see the sky high above you, with light beams falling between the rocks...
Good to see the comment coming!

Uhm, sorry... I saw the other board just after I created a message here...
Won't do again, sir!

Hey, check them out, some screenies of Mudanche, a HLDM level I'm working on for about 6 days now:

Do you like the feeling of this map? Or do you think I totally forgot something or you just dislike it? Just say it...

I got about 10 maps within a week, and they look nice, but I only see them as test maps and/or basic maps, that need to be detailed and worked out better in the coming time.
Oh, some screenies of a map I'm working on for 6 days now: (HLDM)

Sorry, direct links don't work with a websamba-account.
And about the competition... I think only few people will do so, because one map can already be an overload of work... But you should try it... just see if it's a popular idea... That's the best way to find out!

Oh, well...
About the rating system, maybe add the number of ratings to the info bar... A map rated by a lot of people gets more popular I think...

Does func_ladder_func_wall work? Cool... So the dll only searches if the name of the entitie exists in the name you gave it, not if it exactly matches... cool indeed...
The 'body'-trick I already discovered. A lot of these things are transferrable between similar entities. One I added 2 extra heads to the grunt model and changed the body value so that I only got grunts with those 2 heads. There's a system for the numbering depending on the body-parts of a model. Don't really remember how that was but it's a quite simpel system. Starts with value 0, bytheway...

Hey, cool! I've got a cool map on the working table now, so... Mudanchee says anything to you people out here? No? Oh, well...
Anyway, when should the ranking-system be done over then?

The rating system currently allows a map to be rated by its creator. That's just... well, encouraging for certain types of... people...
Can it be changed to only allow others to rate a map?

Hello, I've just got this single question:
How to post a message to the News page?
I'd like to announce a contest held on my site, that's why. (My site? www.cpcp.tk It's kind of a gatherplace for dutch mappers. But the site is in English to keep it accessable for other people.)
