I like your style zeeba. That's a convincing structure you'd expect to see in the bush or a rainforest canopy 
I'm starting to move forward on mine a little. I plan on trying for a modern style home architecture I guess...
Btw as you may notice, I'm having a hell of a time aligning textures on my arches in GS, or maybe it's a Sledge thing? (Shift+cloning or rotating textures ALSO causes them to misalign)
It could just be be my brushwork, but regardless I feel like I wouldn't have this trouble in Source SDK?

This looks extremely fun!
I would like to start playing soon, and take advantage of the generously-gifted key from Atom... hopefully sometime after Decemberween

All I can really think of is to detail the map around the tree; this is actually a much more challenging compo than I originally thought. I considered even scaling up the entire map, and then hollowing out the main trunk for a rats map, but meh idk
Perhaps if everyone is stumped(HO HO HO), you might reboot this as a Treehouse-mapping compo instead, so everyone has a clear objective

Aw I want to code so bad now, I just need someone to hold a gun to my head for 2-24 months, OR, trap me on a deserted island with a computer, coding books, and nothing else

That's awesome mate! =)

That is really neat, I have to try it now!

I've never seen anything like that in my adventures with Sledge Tet, so I'm guessing the problem is unique to your configuration somehow?
I just started playing with Sculptris(Thanks Rimrook for suggesting it!), and I like how if you aren't touching the object you automatically pan.
Maybe you could add something like this to the 3D navigation of Sledge(if you click in the 3D window WITHOUT hitting Z), possibly centering the pan around the last object you selected?
Anyhow, I highly recommend anyone to try Sculptris! It's very intuitive, and awesome for effortlessly making penises, boobs, buttocks, and more!

Haha Rim proudly morbid! =P
Zeebs: Oh yeah, the first thing I did was remove those clips. My first instinct is to detail/extand the area around the tree, but I WILL TRY to figure out a way to tie everything into the objective

I'm starting to get some ideas for this as well, and hope to have a WIP to show soon.
Edit
I'm very interested in the feudal Japan theme right now, so I'm gonna maybe go for that theme. Started some rough sketching:
I'm not sure how I'm going to utilize the tree exactly yet, besides being the center point of the map

I will try to dig up an example of Soup's method for the pretty GS water, though I think it involved scrolling-textured brushes or conveyors like you used, except multiple layers underneath the surface of the water

What's with all of these competitions being made for Goldsource primarily?I assume the next official MC3 and beyond will be a mixutre of GS and source, as Source Engine WAS allowed for the previous MC2...
Trempler, you are the last holdout; upload your WIP to appease the gods!
^ Doubles achieved!
Yes! Or, face The Batman... YOUR CHOICE
He's making a list,
Checking it twice,
He'll be threatening surprise buttsects,
Until you upload your maps-nice!

Oooh nice Stojke, had no idea you could do that!
Haha! =P
I will try to make this work with some func_doors later tonight. It should work perfectly for SP play, but will probably be dogey for multiplayer
...is there any way to use conveyors for this?Ooooh yeah, forgot about func_conveyors, I'll try it quick
edit
Tried it with a conveyor speed of 300, and it works at the very beginning touching the water, but as soon as you are inside the water brush it doesn't work at all.
I see what you mean, the water totally nullifies the push!
I tried multiple 32-unit wide push blocks with a 32 unit space between them to no effect.
Putting multiple smaller trigger_pushes flush together seems to sort of work, as Gordon seems to stutter a little but doesn't stop, but maybe with an increased push value this might be a way?
I've never tried it before, but maybe try using a func_friction with a value > 100 to have a similar effect? (It probably won't work but worth a shot)
You might be able to simulate a push somewhat using cleverly utilized func_doors, but the effect is likely to be choppy, and or disruptive to the gameplay.
I will try playing around with it some more tomorrow to get it to work

It doesn't matter for getting the push to work I don't think, but what are you mapping for? If it's a SP map, you may also try using the enhanced entities in SoHL(Spirit of Half-Life) to get it working.
Looking good man! did you lose some poundage?
Also, what is that giant part you're sitting in?

Link to or problem map, and I can play with the effect for you if you wish. Some pics might also help us help you solve the problem
Woot! Much thanky for people uploading their WIPs, though I see there are still a few stragglers.. =P
I'm rebuilding/simplifying my brushwork so it will fit into one map, and hope to have it uploaded in a few days. Beautiful work everyone!

I thought we would get more entries too with all those promising WIPs posted! Oh well, hopefully we'll get a better turnout for MC3?
Maybe if we make these minicompos official(with profile awards and write-ups), that would be further incentive to join?

kk I will send it out in a little bit Rim
Unfortunately, I must officially surrender on this one..
Due to a series of unfortunate circumstances, procrastination(and major technical snags at the beginning), I am still nowhere close to finishing mine...
Rather than submit an unplayable WIP mishmash, I will finish this off for HL2DM and CSGO, and submit it to the vault when finished!
In order to finish this right, I'll need to get Blender or at least Propper going, or some other trick to free up some more brushes.

If you want Rim, please use my halfway-point version as my WIP entry, sorry sir! ='(

Dildos: It's what's for mapping
It is actually my take on a Stargate Atlantis space station thingie. The reason I'm lathing everything is to save time(hence the dildoing), but I'm about to build some supports and a hangar bay now..

Rim also, if you truly still don't have Ep2, I'd be happy to steam gift you it for judging purposes(for this and future minicompos). Up to you

I may just port it to Ep2 HL2, because Rimrook doesn't have Ep2.TY for reminding me, I will be sure to compile mine using HL2 then
5 hours?!
Did you follow the tips Rimrook gave to speed up the compile(don't just skip RAD)? Also try scaling up the texts to double or more and/or try making everything a func_wall/func_detail, and skybox the map.
Or, port the brushwork to Ep2 and it will compile in 1.5 minutes

It's surprising how good-looking many of you are; I always pictured TWHL users as pimply-faced, permavirgin nerds =P
And YES Urbeh IS a complete madman

To do my duty,
To Rimrook and MuzzAtom,
And obey the laws of the minicompo
-AMEN-
Oi this contest is giving me doubles.. I don't know the hell I'm doing, but it's so much fun! No texture alignment or scaling for sure simplifies things

Anyone know how to setup TDM for HL2(ep2), or at least fake it to some extent? I know gameplay is not a factor for this, but I want to have bots play 5x5 if possible?

Code makes kitteh scart.. Major props for doing this sir!
Major props for doing this sir!And finally this minicompo is winding down!
Why is it I'm thinking of so many good ideas for this, with only 2 days left to go.. I should be able to finish my entry to a satisfactory level by then doe--stag party tonight, and I always go out on thursday, so this minicompo will be completed half in the bag
How is everyone else finishing up?

For source I can remember ambients can be tricky, so first doublecheck all the flags, properties, and outputs.
Make sure to delete/replace all the original point entities(If you haven't already).
If you still can't get it to work, try submitting a compile log, and/or a link to the vmf, and we can help you troubleshoot it further.

Btw, here are some general Source-to-GS conversion tips, which you may find useful:

Btw, here are some general Source-to-GS conversion tips, which you may find useful:
Converting GS maps to Hammer 4
If you didn't already know, you can open .rmf in Hammer 4, and simply 'save as' vmf.(You can also do this in Sledge)
Hammer 4 even has legacy entity support, but DON'T use them--they may adversely affect your map. Instead, change func_walls to func_detail, and illusionarys to func_brush with solidity to 'never'.
Note
Func_brush can be used for many things, but try to use them sparingly, as too many can cause problems in your map.
Note
ALWAYS func_detail non-VVISblocking brushes in your map, and most compiles should only last 5-10 minutes.
If you want your GS textures, export using Wally or rip them by decompiling a wadincluded bsp. Then, convert them with VTFedit, and use 'replace' feature in the texture browser to apply the new materials.
Note
GS textures are scaled to 1.00, and in Source, the default scale is .25
Note
Transparent materials, i.e., a grate or railing textures don't block VVIS nor seal your level, even if they are world brushes, e.g. place a toolsskybox brush behind a window, to seal the world.
Tool textures
Replace 'null' with tools/toolsnodraw, 'sky' with toolsskybox, 'clip' with toolsplayerclip, etc. All the new tools materials will show up in the browser if you type 'tools' in the search box.

As an illustrator, you could have really made something neat Stojkens! You DO STILL have 4 days, or just wait for Colors 2
It shouldn't be that bad to set up, I know there are examples about that handle mutiple cars.. You could also make the turn a bit wider, but regardless, that looks really neat!
Your first WIP looked really neat too!(did you scrap it, or will you try to include it in your entry?)
