Your idea definetly has a truck-load of potential, If you can get it to work, It'll be a gread mod. I still think that you should have a bunch of people after the player, like cops, SWAT, Government agents, terrorists, Armed citizens who want the reward on your head, ect.
And normal citizens who just run from you. That would be great. You can use Dubai as an archetecural refrence to the city you'll make, If you want a high tower and easter buildings, go for it!

I have some Gman pictures in a WAD I can upload, as well as a map with the pictures ready for insterion, is there anything else I can make to help out?
How about the terrorists frame you for terrorisim, you have to get out of the government prison via the roof, then extract your revenge on the terrorists while government agents and the SWAT team are after you too? It combines all your ideas in a more coherent plotline, plus adds more enimies you can place for variation.
It means you pick up a box of ammo or the gun itself with a clip inside like you would a can, but only if you have full ammo and want to take more with you. I'm not even sure what I suggested would work for that, but in theory it should. I assume you want to 'use' to place in the players inventory now.
Oh. Well we know it's possible, I don't have the slightest idea on how to do it, though. Perhaps PB or Muzzleflash know how, or if all else fails, look in the L4D sourcefiles or ask someone who's done it for source.
Do you think the story might be able to work, or did I waste seven minutes?
One possible story:
It is the year 2029. The combine have all but conqured humanity... But there is hope... In the secluded australian outback, there lies an outpost where talented individuals search the universe for the telltale signs of the Gman, looking for the one free man... This organisation is called TWHL. The members of TWHL use a sophisticated computer program, codenamed "Teh Hammre" to model various dimentions and planets in 3D. When they find where doctor Freeman is kept, they will convince the Gman to let him go. Each member of TWHL has their own room where they can live and work in comfort, each utilizing a different amount of technology, but all using "Teh Hammre" in their computers in the hope that they can save both Humanity, and Vortigaunt kind. You are a member of TWHL, codenamed "Captian Terror" And you have found a new Gman location. You have to show the founder, Atom, the new location, but he's busy at the other end of the base. You begin a process called "Compiling" that will show the target location in higher clarity, and It should be finished by the time you reach Atom. Either way, you need to show him the new data. All your lives depend on it.
Needs a bit of refinement, But it may be able to work.

An explanation of what the project is and what is to come might be nice, perhaps some nice ambient music made by someone from TWHL? And maybe we could paste in a story, like it's some kind of TWHL secret mapping hideout.

habboi pm me what you are speaking of, not for me, but for a friend.. ; )I can't believe you actually posted that in a thread and not in a PM...
Pick up how? Like 'Pick up that can' or 'pick up that gun and take that guy out'? I explained for 'pick up that can' if you want to carry extra ammo with you in weapon form.
Depends. Do you want the player to be able to pick up weapons they already have, and carry them around with them to use as ammo later, or have to manually 'Pick up' the weapon to receive it?
(I assume you were asking me)
copy the prop_physics code that makes them able to be 'use' picked up and replace the weapon 'gravity gun pickup' code with itIs for carrying it for ammo, while I have no idea for using to actually recive it.

EDIT: the media on the ModDB page looks pretty nice for just having started.

Yeah, spirit has movewith, just make a func_door and set every other part of the ship to move with it. Simple. One of Spirit's first features has you covered right there.

Spirit Downloads. I recomend 1.5a4, since it's the latest official build.

Nice, Back on track. I expect great things from you... or else. 
It's also a good program for mounting virtual discs.So THATS what it does! (My family is using my brother's PC while he's at university)
On topic: The book seems like a good read, If I see it in the bookstore I'll be sure to pick it up.
Mowgli, what game are you mapping for? CS, Vanila HL? The screens look really good, and I'd look forward to playing it if I could.
Welcome to TWHL.
Half-Life has suffered an unexpected error and must shut downWhat version are you runing? Is it Steam, or WON? If you have WON HL1, with no updates, that may be the source of the problem. I'm not to experienced with either of these problems, though, so I'll let someone more experienced take over.
Give it an hour to compile, if it does'nt make any progress at all from where you leave it, then It may be a freeze up.
Still, I've matured since then, and that is behind me now.That's good to hear. I've also matured since my early days, back when I was mapping for UT 2004. I think we've all matured since we started mapping, both in skill and mind. Let's let the past be the past, and work towards the future. /offtopic
He tried to make HL2 in HL1. And flamed everybody, If I heard correctly.

They like credit card numbers. And pissing people off.
Contact valve and tell them someone hacked your account? That's usually recomended. But sometimes they just go through your account, make your friends fall for it and move on.
...Sad.. 
On what? ModDB?
I remember I started mapping for UT 2004. My maps were simple and uninteresting. Plus there was no SP aspect at all, so It got boring until I discovered pawns. then I tried to make a HL-ish SP map series. UnrealEd stopped working around that time... Never did figure out why.

That it went to uplink? It'd be logical, because the big 'Central Complex' sign on it.
Or that it crashes the game? the changelevel is in the doors, I think.
If noone else minds;
Location and game. No mapname.

You mean that 'beta' elevator that makes the game crash if you enter it normally?
EDIT: Yeah, there's a changelevel in there that will crash the game if entered. I always thought it went to what would have been Uplink in the beta. Mapname is c3a1.

Please don't mock people's mods, no matter how badly they've been presented.
Did you make a tutorial?
Raver, he can't post anything if he does'nt have it, he needs to get it from the team leader first.
So there are three strobes: 1 for the vending machine, 1 for the tv, and one outside the door... shall i eliminate them all?All but the TV. make it less bright, less noticable.
If you walk in front of the laptop and hit the use key, it should trigger a multimanager triggering sounds, but i can't say why it didn't work for youIn the current source files, the laptop is a func_breakable or func_wall, no button in front.
Remove the mp5 in JeffMod's room, its useless because there's no combat in any of the maps ahead.Yeah, OK. and remove everything the Vort in my room triggers on death. Also, I'd make my room better to get up to everyone else's quality, but I'm a bit busy now.
Nothing happend when I used the laptop. (I downloaded the source, does that have soemthing to do with it?) I like what you did with the laptop and TV, aside from the strobe. The signs in the exit make it look a lot like a lab, too. Aside from the ugly strobe, I have not complaints. maybe make it less noticiable and more white?
Oh, and I got locked out of the room. that needs fixing too.

I drink my root beer?
Nice splash. But... I still don't see how my room got strobe lights.
"dogey strobe lighting"(xcept maybe in JeffMod's map and hallway_Strobe... Lighting? I did'nt put in anything exept texture lights and a light_enviroment.
6 is my magic number for walls. Mine are usually plaster or metal, though. Brick should be thicker. Go for 8 or 12.
But don't scale tight areas of your maps to inches, since that does'nt always turn out good. The player is a bit fat compared to that scale.
The differences between Hl2 and HL1 are small, but existant. I've found you can get away with 6 unit thick walls, 3 unit thick doors, and 1 unit thick railings. If in doubt, though, use models to check your scale, as humanoid NPC's always show a good size for real-world objects when you compare them.
Ah. I see. What I said still stands, though.
Yeah. Colony 42 (my current project) is using spirit 1.5a, You can have MP maps with monsters, fog, Start with the HEV suit, and with some coding you can make it like an advanced version of CS, but vanila spirit (Is that the right phrase for spirit?) won't work with CS or vice versa. It also has a lot of source's mapping features, (parenting/movewith comes to mind) if a bit buggy.
Habboi, do you have any idea what you've done!? You just beat a HARD QUESTION WITHOUT SWEARING AT ME! Yes, It is Colony 42. But... New media? I don't have anything particularily interesting at the moment, so I'm afraid it'll have to wait at least until I can finish the map I'm working on now. Anyway, you win the hard question.
Ahhh. Now I see. And I am being a bit tricky, as It's a bit Obscure. But it is on TWHL... look around. Or cheat.
EDIT: I know some of you have heard of it. S0a0 is on TWHL, but what is it from? Take a guess, you have nothing to lose.

Great... 
As soon as someone feigns a guess we can get to someone else's turn.

Yay. Gimme a few minutes...
Some of you may have already seen this one, Bonus marks if you can tell me what the map name is. I just need what section of what game.
I may need to give someone else my turn...

... The downfall of City 17 was a good thing though... But they have RAMEN! Let's hope its the fake, takeout stuff.
I simply replaced the zombie model with a scientistSo... A scientist mesh with zombie animations? Where can I get said model?
