wah-wah 
OK here it is. If the following peeps agree to deliver an entry in approx. 1 week, I will extend this:
Zeeba-G
Rimrook
TJB
Jessie
Tetsu0
Otherwise, I'm declaring this one a dud, sorry bros! ='(

Since noone else seemed interested in the extension besides you and Zeebs, I'd say no Rimmeh, but to make sure I'll ask one more time:
If anyone has a WIP and thinks they can finish with a 1-week extension, speak up now!
My WIP too is still very weak, but I'll upload what I have to the vault now.
Also, Happy Halloween

Nice skelly model TJB! =P
I won't be able to finish too much before the end of the day, but I'll upload whatever I have tonight after work.
Apologies to everyone for not starting this up sooner, seems like this one was a bit of a dud

No problem mate, usually it's implied in mapping contests: you are to make content FOR the competition, not reuse/finish existing work.
Thanks for being honest about it

SO, Zeeba and Rim have expressed wanting an extension for this. Does anyone else out there have a WIP for this and could use more time(y/n)?
If y, I will add another week or so to the deadline, if that's enough time for everybody?

Thank you for joining the contest, and welcome to TWHL!
Please pay attention to the second part of rule #2, no recycled work is allowed: your entry must be "built for the contest". So I must ask, did you start your map before the 14th?
I have no way to verify this one way or the other, but I will make a judgement call after looking at your map.

Zeeba: If there are at least 5 people with WIPs who plan to finish, and you can all agree on a revised deadline, I'd be happy to extend it another week or so
Otherwise, Prizes will be awarded according to community voting, and what was uploaded to the TWHL Map Vault, by October 31st(with a day or so of leeway to account for different timezones).
Note
Don't worry if your entry is not a map, submit any finished work to "Completed Maps", and anything else to the "Unfinished Stuff" section.

Pretty neat stuff! Again, I'm fascinated how you would code these things and how you are able to make changes so quickly. (I really want to learn to code, but I think I lack the patience)
My simple brain likes "corners" and "bounding" methods, because that seems how most users would do it

Oh very well then, good luck with your assessment m8!
I'm still confident the prizes will lure at least a couple entries out of the shadows, but yeah, this needed to be announced earlier...
Please post WIPs people if you are working on anything!

Penguinboy needs more staff I think
I've never really messed with carve too much, but the Devs must have added it--like the rest of the tools--for a good reason.. Maybe I will try playing with it.
PB has fixed A LOT of stuff, it very well may be working now.

You get in your room and make aspooky BOO! maze, or NO SUPPER MISSY! :{P
Come now, what of the BOO! maze =P
Mine entry is going spookily slow:
Lots of ideas, but not sure what I'll be able to finish by the 31st. Anyone else have something spooky to share?

Well it looks awesome anyway Zeeba! What kinds of errors are you getting?
Try using sledge for your GoldSrc maps, if you haven't already. It has MANY advantages over hammer in brush creation, particularly new brush primitives, and 3D clipping!
Sledge's compile utility also automatically accounts for floating-point vertices by default(avoids the pain of setting up hlfix). My only caution would be to avoid using visgroups unless PB fixed the problem with hidden groups becoming invisible and unselectable (when you close sledge with any groups hidden)

I wonder if I could make a model of an entire map, import it into hammer and clip the brush work. I'm sure this is how modern levels are made.Do it! have you imported Rhino models into hammer before? I'm guessing you could import into Max and export from there?
Your spam is good spam; keep that pornography coming
^ Those are all quite nice Kurosaki Ichigo
^ Oooh made kitteh scart 
^ I've suggested this too COOBORKY
Just make it behave like normal Hammer PB, it's useful to select mutliple entries to delete or change the class en masse. I use it all the time

Excellent Rimmeh! I still have yet to play BM even though I had it downloaded a long time ago... unbelievable, right?
The brushwork version you have is really awesome lookingIndeed it is!
I'd LOVE to make a HH too zeeba, but there's no way I'll have enough time. Considering your Compo 28 map, you'd be really good at it
Instead, I think I'm going to make a modular prefab pack of something or other..
Edit
Started a spooky fence prefab:

What do you need?
I'd be willing to make you some GS prefabs, just to experiment with some some more with Sledge's fancy brush primitives

Good idea sir. I will try to pimp it over at GB, and if anyone is a regular on other mapping sites, please feel free to drop a link, OR let me know the site and I an do it
Rim
Hope you can, I realize this is really short notice, so no worries either way

Yes Jessie I'm very imprintable, and I'm not exactly sure where/when the "scart" started tbh, Stu
Bonus points for making kitteh scart!
you know that's originally from Urby's old avatar, correcto?

Bonjour Diamond Jim!
^ ZOMG Dim just won the Halloween contest
Nah that isn't lame at all Tet, classic couples costume!
I don't have a GF atm, but If I did I'd be a T-800 and make her go as Sarah Connor of course
Past couple costumes I've done: Batman/Catwomen(gf at the time looked just like Michelle Pfeiffer), and Sailor-Moon/Tuxedo-Mask(I was Sailor Moon, LOL. We were both surprisingly a hit, with people buying us drinks all night!)

That scythe is sweet btw!
Wish I could come to your party, I bet it will be awesome. Please post some after-party pics for us non-facebook users!

Nice costume idea Zeeba, although I know a crafty bastard such as yourself could make a much more authentic robe than that thing...
In the past with robed costumes, I've simply got some nice fabric and a pattern from the craft store, and hot glued it together. It sounds dogey, but the result is MUCH nicer than anything you will buy retail! Any cloak or a 6-8 piece Jedi robe with the front closed should work perfectly, plus there are many free pattern designs online you could easily adapt
I would recommend an over-sized hood with a felt or rough polyester material that will flow nicely, something like this from an episode of The Mighty Boosh
I was all gung ho to make a HEV suit out of cardboard and multi-colored duct tape(complete with helmet and some fancy LED accent lighting), but meh, I'll probably just recycle an old costume..

I bet doodle would know how to do this, since he has a similar setup in his 12 absent men mod, which I would totally recommend if you haven't played it yet
So I would PM the dewd, and/or post a thread over at GB. When you get it sorted, upload an example map! =P

I'm sorry I wasn't able to finish this, SO MANY ideas at the end! Thanks for a fun minicompo and of course the generous prize offer zeeba-G!
Do we have the full day today of the 25th, or is this officially over now?
As always I have tons of ideas, but no time make them happen... I might just put a Maus up der and call it a day
I'm really digging the younger, new talent on TWHL.. Lajron and TJB's recent architectural work both remind me of Kasperg's amazing work

Indeed it is! I always wanted to make cuts like that when I first started using hammer, trying to adjust the clip in vain in separate viewports
It would be nice to be able to toggle it off perhaps, because it can be slightly annoying when you are making multiple cuts in two dimensions, but tbh I'm used to it now

Hitting f9 in Sledge will bring up the onboard compiler just like in Hammer, and also be sure to use the latest tools for the best compile results

Now after trying to open that map in Sledge I see what you mean Qwertyus
I was however able to copy/select/paste the entire map to a fresh VMF before the crashing occurs, and everything works fine now. Clicky for the converted map.
Concerning the multiple configuration bug, I never experienced it yet since I've only mapped for HLDM, although it's good information to know for the future, thank you

Maybe it's possible to add a special tool that will remove any objects outside of world automatically, by user's decision.Can you elaborate what you mean by that? (i thought you meant the map was outside the editing bounds, but it's well within them). I haven't had any coffee yet today, so it's probably just me missing the obvious

Idk if it's directly related, but the first thing I do when importing a rmf to Sledge is change it to VMF format, as everything in general seems more stable.
Also, try Sledge's onboard compiler if you haven't already, it works great

I'm having the texture lock bug as well, but I never had the other two issues you and Jesse mentioned Tet. Are you both running non-nvidia cards?
