I'm bowing out due to personal issues. Will still playtest though.
"Making a mod is easy"
Well, one day, when Sledge is more fleshed out, we should have a project using Sledge to help show it off to people outside the TWHL community.
How about a stipulation for GoldSrc, is that Sledge must be used to create the map?
hm
Crazy thought: Run it in Opposing Force, so we could use the expanded roster of weapons and enemies
Something like that
A few of them are in 256, but yeah, most are 64x64. Gearbox was responsible for the HD pack anyway. I tried to find an HD model pack with the Ambient Impact arms, as I remember having this, but I couldn't find it.
Well, I whipped together a very quick HD pack by copypasta-ing the HD models from Blue Shift to a new folder and going from there. I tried to recreate the white Beretta with Paint.Net for the texture, but it turned out horribly, so I put is as a seperate model, and left the unmolested model (with the yellow sleeves) as the v_9mmhandgun.mdl

Ah yes, our little shit bag is also named Archie.
Post your pets
I'll try
Also the 2D views become black or visible but frozen whenever I open another program that cover Sledge
Really dumb idea: at the end of TWHL Tower (this could be in a new version of it), you jump off the tower with a parachute, and detonate explosives ala Die Hard, destroying the building. A few years later the military finished TWHL Tower 2 at the rubble of the first tower... except this tower is descending and goes underground. You gotta go back and stop the military's plans.
Running it in fast mode gives me fullbright maps (even if there's no leaks), and running it in Normal mode gives me a problem with hlbsp:
Error: ReadSurfs (line 1807): 539 > g_numplanes
Error: ReadSurfs (line 1807): 539 > g_numplanes
Count me in
Compiling seems to take a really long time. What would be a 3 second compile in 3.5.1 would be ~15 seconds on Sledge, and it won't run the game (even when I set the option to do so). Doing a normal compile, well, it took so long (like 10 minutes) that I just quit, and this was a very simple map.
Also, I really miss how you could see the models in 3.5.1, instead of blocks of colored cheese. If there is an option to do it (I only see model render distance in the options), let me know.

If you don't like my map ure just a narrow minded person that doesn't want to do things.That's quite rude
I fear change
Trying it out, really love the better selection when clicking in 3D mode, but no scrollbars is pretty obtuse for me. Also, I liked the animate models feature of the fan-made Hammer 3.5.1 I was using before
Done to ensure that HD model settings don't override the LD ones. Potentially breaking animation sequences.Ah, makes sense, but there's a lot of models still in there unchanged from LD to HD, maybe delete these for next revision.
Ok. Wanna play the mod again? You'll see I've put them in now? No need to download again. It's magic.Whoops, you're right, I didn't even see them. Maybe put a light in them for the player? The lighting in general in the bases is quite dark.
so was the valve/models folder copy pasted into the twhltower folder, and replaced the v_models with the Blue Shift ones? Waste of space in the rar.
I think putting the name of the floor and the maker on the outside of the floor would help identify the maps greatly.

Jotted down some notes while playing
Sorry, I didn't keep count of each floor, I hope you'll get what floor I mean in my notes
General:
Great idea, some maps need more player guidance, had to cheat some times
Hard to read names in the list of maps and each maker texture
First floor designed weird, I have to kill the Barney? Had to noclip
4th Floor very laggy with it's (very well done) detail textures
Going thru the big electricity field didn't kill you, seems like it should of
Did you submit your status report to the administrator today?
Pushing e twice would close the door, which I accidentally did
Why did you put a headcrab in a vent just to clip it so you can't go any further?
Didn't know what to do after getting the gluon gun, cheated
Couldn't find last of 4 key cards
Is the game supposted to be over after blowing up the helicopter?

I exaggerated on my opinion of SS1, I couldn't get past a few rooms due to it's 90's af interface, thick as a brick. Not my tastes.
I just have too much damn fun with SS2 to let the flaws get in the way, I can't really describe it.

I'm just gonna go with the popular opinion that System Shock 2 is one of the greatest games I've ever played, while SS1 is unplayable garbage by today's standards.
