Hey there!

My work is done, and I have months of rest ahead of me...
So, Im back.

Now, I have an interesting Mod Idea I would like to throw out there...

I want to know what you think of it;

The setting consists of the most unlikely of spots for a Half-Life game; inside a Human Cell. Everything is going fine at the begining as you ride a vacuole to investigate a foregn particle that made it through the membrane. Once there, all hell breaks loose as a large Virus (Xen Ship) Infultrates the membrane, and alien headcrabs poor out, attacking the Cell. Your mission is to destroy this foreign invader, as you travel throughout the cell, helping fight at the various parts and stations. I won't ruin the ending, but I will say that its not too happy...

and so, equiped with intel from the nucleus, and a load of microscopic weapons, Gordon makes his largest attempt to save the smallest of things...

I was thinking of calling it epidemic, or pandemic...

Hrmph...

I made it for the origional compotition, before it was official.

Muzz already added it to the server though...

Its fine, just wondering.

Time to go back into hybernation

I popped in to check on this...

You are including my entry right?

Well, its that time of time again, and Bratty is going to be busy...

I probably won't be mapping, or at this site for my usual absence time...

I'll see you guys when I seeya,
and remember,
"I am what I am"

A great man said that...

and his name...

Was PopEye the Sailor Man.

Bloody Thread Reviver...

Shame...

WHEN WILL YOU RELEASE THIS??

HELLO???

You said this would be ready

SO!!

Where is it?

oh no!!!

I'll have to beaf up my TNNL map with...

Well, lets just let that be a suprize

Well,

I want at least 1...

Tutorial award is easy to get...

I'm making another map for the contest Muzz, Its bl_tnnl, based on the tnnl textures.

Help us Seventh!

They are killing the Map Vault!!!!

sorry no...

Captain P's way is pretty much the simplest way to do it.

I couullddd figure out a bunch of ways to do it, but if you can't understand what Captain P is saying, my attempts would be futile...

I don't see a swastika...

God, you Europeans are obsesed with those things!

Last time I saw one was... HERE

I'd make the button invisible, and have the entity behind it change due to the button's triggering.

Captain, can you have an entity that triggers itself, without errors?

obviously Tycell...



Looks AMAZING!!!

Wowza!

If you placed this in HL2, it would make everything else look like crap!

Captain P,

I loved your Detention map!

oh, my first completed map:

http://twhl.co.za/mapvault_map.php?id=3622

yes, I know, I just finished it... But its the first... heh...

I can do the same effect as Daub, only a little easier, and much more effective.

I'm writing a tutorial on it now.

takes a lot for me to apologize,
or for me to say I was EVER wrong...

I tend to be... closed minded and arogant... though I'm usually right.

arogant is one thing, stupid is another.

An Arrogant stupid person is the WORST type...

Gnight

You need to add dimension to your cliffs...

Try and make alternating heights, and make them jut out at diagonals more.

Also, don't make it like a big square..

Here, I might make a little terrain to show you...
If I have some time, Ill pm you the screenshot.

I'm already done...

heh,
I may add some detail or an outside part the TWHL map...

Nah, Im done...

Break time...

They aren't ALL over...

Here in America,

Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is almost here!!!
(even though no-one gets off work for it )

And seriously. Would you apologize an enemy of yours even if you were wrong?

Well, I wouldn't consider anyone an enemy, but yes, I would...

In fact,
Trapt, I'm sorry for asking you to apologize, and the cruel way I went about doing it.

I'm not quite sure of your intentions, but if you meant good and actually thought Habboi was stealing work, you acted somewhat responsibly, to begin with.

What struck me was your rude summary of Habboi's explaination. Anyone who treats someone like that, I would have to oppose...

Can we end this now?

What did you do wrong?

Well, you lied about Habboi, tried to ruin his reputation, hurt his image, turn people against him, and now just openly insult him.

Now, I don't really know Habboi, or you, but from what I've heard here, you're just trying to be some kind of an asshole toward him, for some reason I really don't know, nor care about.

You were wrong, and hurt someone in the process.

The appropriate thing to do would be to apoligize.

I just asumed you were man enough.

We're waiting for Trapt's apology, now sit there and be quiet!

you dirty little Hunter you!

alright Muzz,
Ill re-name it bl_twhl.wad

the avatar one.. Ill keep it the same?

Now...

to collect my lawyer fees

aw...

sorry...

Ill change it

WAIT!!

HOW DID YOU GET A HOLD OF THAT MAP!!!!

its still being made!

I agree...

Don't start this kind of stuff...

and shame on me for feeding it...

@ Seventh:

heh.

k,

I have a map I would like to enter...

so um...

How do I enter it?

Trapt has commited an act of Slander,

which is a serious offense...

surely the moderators of TWHL should do something to punish it in order to prevent something like this from happening again.

Trapt should publically apologize for his Slander.

and this prooves relevent how?

heh, thanks...

Oh, I like the amx stuff you put on there!

but every time I roll the dice, it slaps me

Trapt still hasn't replied about my post...

Guess I was right.

By the way,
Since Trapt has purposfully tried to damage the reputation of another member without bringing proper evidence to the table, I propose that he must write a sincere, proper, and public apology to Habboi on the news section, or have his account frozen.

Obviously this "informant"'s reputation will not be taken seriously by the community.

We do not know his identity, and for reasons I stated earlier, his word should not be trusted in this case.

So, without this "informent", what other evidence do you have?

If none, then I guess we're done here...

no further questions.

wait a minute...

HOLD THE PHONEEES!!!

HOOOOLD THE PHOONESS!!!!!!!

You said:

The informer also stated that the screenshots were of a map quite beyond habboi's level designing skill.

Lets analyze this.

Habboi was kicked from the team cause they didn't like his mapping right?

When Habboi left, there was probably conflict between him and the other members of the team, right?

you stated yourself that Habboi was hard to get along with.

Well, this specific anonymous person, if he exists, would have something against Habboi, right?

well, this so called "informant" claimes that the screenshots shown by Habboi, acording to you, were "beyond habboi's level designing skills". You said this yourself.

as of right now, there is NO EVIDENCE that these screenshots were not his own. It is just the word of a person, who in theory, dislikes Habboi and would have motivations to hurt his reputation, correct?

and LET ME ASK YOU!
Isn't it possible that this "informant" is carelessly throwing false information, or exagerated information, based on his own diagnosis of Habboi's skills.

I'll have to side with Habboi, based on this most ridiculous argument on Trapt's part. Yes, Habboi is hard to get along with, which only helps him in this specific case. You and this "informant" probably just want to hurt Habboi, and you have the nerve to try and drag friends of yours down with you based on information the public is yet to see,
if it exists...

Good Day!!

bah, the date is too soon.

If it was longer I'd try to enter my TWHL map...

in the second picture , what is the gun and - did S&I steal it off you OR did you steal it off S&I?

Mr.Good map: Those guns are from Hl2 like the antilions. Are write properly... I can hardly understand you.

I can't understand a word either of you say...

ever...

Hey Muzz,

How do I get into that secret room in your map?

I've been in there once, but I can't find out how to get back in!

read my tutorial...

oh dear... throw him away too...

Well, theres no evidence, Guess Habboi gets off free.

everyone shutup and wait for Trapt's evidence!

I'll have to form a grudge against one of you two... Depends on how the evidence looks, if there is any...

interesting...

Oh moderators?

Check the ip addresses of those two non-avatar recently registered accounts!

New life eh?

why not... Move?

Or take up boxing? Live in a ring full of balding old brutes smacking you till you pass out.

or... Take up Knitting? Live in a ring full of balding old ladies smacking you till you pass out.

well, its pretty much the same for every life...

always with that bloody ring...

Unbreakable,

Your vow of absense is obviously a sign of maturity in your developing personality. I respect someone who stands up and takes control of their life, even if it means getting rid of something that they hold dear to them. I'm sure, anyone who does an act like this has the intelligence and anitiative to make the most of himself.

I understand that your leave has nearly nothing to do with mapping in general, but with your future. Obviously, mapping has been taking up a lot of your time, and has distracted you from the things that really matter. Well, if so, then definatly quit. Personally I think of mapping as a little hobby. I have some fun doing it, and don't really care too much about what other people think. Notice how I've been here 2 years and haven't posted a map.

If mapping isn't a hobby for you, but a touch of personal expression, with hope of future development, then it would be best for you to leave and never look back. Well, look back and remember the endless hours you spent looking at a screen full of confusing lines and colors, trying to figure out where that bloody leak was... I'm sure you've learned some important lessons from mapping, whether it be art, or a more philosophical realization. Finishing a map also would help develop your sense of fulfilment. Personaly, I have troubles finishing anything I start. I hope this experience has helped you learn how to start something, plan, go through with it, and see it through to the end. Then, when thats all over, go back over it and repeat the step over and over til you have achieved perfection. You need this skill in life, to succede, and make the most of what you can do.

Yes, this all sounds a bit cliche, and I'm sure you've heard it all before, but I'm here to re-iterate an important message I hope you listen to.

Good luck with your life,
I'm sure you'll do fine,
BrattyLord

When I Finish the de_twhl, I'm sure it'd make a good map for the server.

um...

What?

This is still CS.

Habboi...

NO!!

I have about 10 rooms done right now, not including easter eggs!

Think bigger!

Its an okay size...

There are three different routs to the 2 different bombsites. the CTs start in a room in between the two bombsites, and theres a great hall that connects paths in between.

well, you'll see when I post the first draft.

Thanks!

The pretty new lights tripled compile time though

Now, because Its taking me so long to complete... I'll post a few screenies of progress!

Heres the room from the first Screenie, redone:

Heres one I just started:

Hope these look okay...

Sound card! Thanks!

Thats very fitting!

you clever man you
