"finished"?
Go for every advanced chamber.
Also, we need a thread for time, fewest steps and fewest portals to keep this interesting. If you have no reason to get better at it, Portal is over in a couple hours which would be quite a shame.
Also, maps plskthnxs.

Seconded.
Ditto to the waiting for the update.

I suspect that to be the culprit. VIS took 13 and a half hours. Something ain't right here.

holy crap, I was all "I'll compile over night because it takes too long"
well, it's still going. granted it's almost done, but it'll be going on an eight hour compile time soon. that seems really long, especially because the map's not even that big.

90% of us probably. I mean, this is a HL mapping site!
1: I don't make textures, but there are definitely people here who do.
2: I find your name repulsive. Not "haha gross lol" repulsive, just downright cant-stand-to-read-it repulsive.
3: The map at least sounds cool, but a picture is worth a thousand words if you want to show something off!

WUT UP
Matter of opinion...
We established that. But I didn't say it, because I don't want him to hate me, because he's one of the compo judges. Correct?
I also am waiting for the Official SDK files, as well as the new engine integration into HL2 and HL2DM. I REALLY want the new particle system for my compo map, so I'm SOOOO re-making it in the updated engine.
Particles. DO WANT.

Aw shit, now theres more people to compete against? 
jk guys I can't wait.

Yes it is. Speaking of Portal, where the fuck are all the custom maps guys??? COME ON!! I can has fix?
It's very important to gameplay, actually. That's the point. Until you leave the chambers and escape into the guts of the facility, the chambers are designed as simple as possible. That means repeating textures so a player can know instantly whether or not a Portal can be placed, for example while in an infinite loop. That also helps set a clear contrast once the player leaves the chambers, there is stuff lying around, dirt and grime, interesting lights and textures and details. It is just meant to reinforce the players feeling that he is really not supposed to be back there, that he is really escaping even though we all know he has no actual freedom and is being led around by a carrot on a stick.
Play with the dev comentary on. It explains quite a bit about how crucial each element of the theme is.
He's right you know!
Oh right. The whole "life" thing. I keep forgetting about that.
Is the sky still as blue as I remember it?

Sweet deal. Good luck with that man, looks tough.

Here is everything you need to know about water. Hell, it even shows you how to put fish in there. Apparently there is an easier way to make flowing water than the cs_militia way, but it's not as pretty and has many limitations.
Good luck!

func_pushes for the push, the flow is a bit more complicated. Getting it to flow cs_militia style requires a bit of coding, and even then what you can make is blocky. The flowing white on the the water in cs_militia is actually a model, which allows it to be complex.
CS:S maps are judged by Source standards, I believe. So while Source will let you make something pretty in comparison to Goldsource, if it's shit it's still shit. It's just shit with shiny shit in it. Trust me, these guys are fair as shit. Go back and look at the results of previous Compos to see how the two are judged.
Haha, thats great.
Well, I was all proud of myself for learning cubemaps and running around with the crossbow admiring the "reflections" in the scope. I did some work on the map and have re-compiled, but for some reason now the buildcubemaps command doesn't work. I compile, load the map, run buildcubemaps, it builds them, I reload the map, and.... they're not there.
It doesn't want to apply them anymore. I know it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm fast VIS and RAD compiling.
Also, how do I include them so when my map is opened they are applied? I want them to be there when the map is judged.
Also compiling is a bitch. It went from an hour to hours and I didn't change much. I just added a metric shit-ton of models and decals. Do those make that huge of a difference?

Tetsu0, you and I have one glaring similarity in our maps! That water! I'll post a screeny to show you what I mean.
Yeah, isn't a tiny colored dot that will be buried in a sea of other tiny colored dots because you don't check the site a dozen times a day like us enough???
Srsly tho, I don't think thats necessary.
Can you make the site pink?

Now I'm just getting creative here. What about incaseing the entire map in a large box of like concrete, and placing some super-bright lights around inside the map itself. Spawn in the cube, and head for the light!
That would probably result in a lot of waiting around for it to compile, but you could fast vis and rad.
Or you could start not listening to my crazy person brain ideas.

Place several different point entities in a grid formation around the map, and when you compile the log will tell you what entity the leak is closest to. If you placed them say in 256 unit intervals, you'll know the leak is within 256 units of that entity. Just thought of that, dunno if it'll work at all or if it's worth the trouble. Any other thoughts?
Mines almost done. I'm working a lot on it, because it's also a learning experience. I've learned how to use cubemaps, soundscapes, 3d skyboxes and more, and it's really fun.
Does anyone understand what's going on here?
Oh yeah, I forgot to suggest decompiling a map to see how they set up their entities. Sometimes decompiling is frowned upon, but if you just want to see how the entities are set up there's nothing wrong with it.
But um, it IS a "true" TF game. It's THE "true"erer of the two new ones.
Oh by the way guys, in case this hasn't been established earlier, it's damn fun.

si. when play everywhere is unchecked, drag the circle in the 2d side views to show how far away the sound will be heard from.
Well I think that's a seperate problem. Using larger textures doesn't cause crashes or failed loads, CZ had them in it's maps.
lol.
Feel free to stop by my clan's new TF2 server guys. I'm usually on in the evenings. Our clan was founded for Team Fortress for Quake 2 so we've got some real vets there. 10+ years!
8.6.77.102:27015
24/7 ctf maps, no cussing (yeah i know i know, but its a family clan) It's a new server and not all our guys play tf2 yet so we need some regs to get it going.
And there's cake.*
*the cake is a lie.

I knew exactly what he meant, I was just saying that if he doesn't give a flying shit about multiplayer then he shouldnt much like TF2. Or maybe he was just talking shit about halo to get a few more viewers.
Regardless, his stuff is hilarious.

If he gave TF2 a good review I will lol. He gave Halo 3 a poor one saying "But heres the thing, I don't give a flying shit about multiplayer, and neither do a lot of people."
of course you can. I assume, at least. that would be pretty stupid if you couldn't.
Deleted Scenes has it's own FGD. At least I'm pretty sure, don't hold me too it. As far as spawing with no bullets, you could use a player_strip on spawn and then have the players spawn on top of armory entities with "0" in the quantity. Or something like that. Or it's impossible.
Not an expert question, because I understood it.

hows about +1 and -1 for rating maps. You know, like
+1 layout
+1 atmosphere
-1 texturing
-1 easter egg was nude photo of yourself

well if you paste your compile log, someone can spot the problem right away in these situations.
Old. They made that thing a while ago, I remember doing it and being confused about cake.
CZ is ftw. Same game, prettier. Unlike Source which is much prettier, but practically a different game.
