Ok, that's the worst April Fool's day joke ever.
Alright, time to make some sky pictures. It's gonna be a little tricky, but hey, I have the whole night ahead!
EDIT: Found a very suitable sky in vanilla cstrike.

During the creation I do some basic entity placement as I said, so the most of such structures (or maybe all of them) is already tied to func_detail. I'll place the clip-brushes later, or if I suddenly hit the clipnodes limit (bevel and cliptype precise should prevent that).
Also I included an easter egg (yep, already). It's a surprise so I can't tell you what it is =].

I'm not sure if it will even compile or how long it will take. Poor HLVIS.
When the geometry, texturing and basic entity/item placement is finished (I'm such a person who does all this at the same time), I will need to make a proper sky (currently using "morning"), extract the textures from 6-8 wads I use for the map and the pack everything into a one big wad, then wadinclude it with -nowadtextures parameter. And I'm incredibly lazy at times, so even I don't know when it's gonna be finished, Trempler.
Yet I must note, that your support encourages me to continue my work. Thank you =)

Some changes to dm_deadlands:
Now there are two such altars on the map:
Added a stand with a battery:
I also work on a CS:GO map:
Love those dev textures.

"and see if it works in a multiplayer server"Have you tried to start a LAN game on your map?
I suppose that the last color in the palette of an overview image becomes black. So if you change all the green color to red and change the last color in the palette to red as well, the red color should be black ingame. The same thing works for {masked textures.
And it appears that ' and / change the Min Z for me. If I knew it before I'd make a better overview. Damn, I tried to assist.
The bigger my map gets the more I fear to compile it.
Dude, this may be happening because of halflife.fgd.
Try removing it. I use only two fgds: a cs one and zhlt.fgd

Hmm... How did you do that? I tried it several times and... Nothing.
Make sure you use a proper FGD. Maybe that's the problem.
Also, if you set the "Frequency" to -1 and "Max children" to -1 as well, you can break the game.
And as far as I know you can spawn helicopter rockets, but I don't remember how.

Practicing at layout making:
The map name is de_wind. "Wind" are also the first four letters of my nickname. Coincidence?
Dude, we have RipEnt for such purposes. There's also a flag in the compilation menu (or was it Batch Compiler?) called "Entities Only".
Well, for Doom such planning is ok

This post was made on a thread that has been deleted.
I only wanted to say that a concentration camp map would play pretty good because of the layout. No sadism involved.
Hmmm, you know, the concentration camp theme really fits the es_ gamemode. When I finish deadlands I will take a deeper look into this idea.

@Dimbeak
A concentration camp map should play good if designed properly. Sadly, I'm bad at making layouts, but it would be nice if someone else makes such a map.
The World Trade Center map would fit Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes more.
"a concentration camp"
"the World Trade Center during the attack"Good ideas actually. If I had a wish I would even try to make something like that.

Try using monstermaker with "Monster Type" set to "rpg_rocket". You can also change the direction of the flight.
EDIT: I checked and it really works! You can launch rpg rockets from and to anywhere that way.

This thread has got very similar to that one.
@Trempler
Thanks. I'm only a (very lazy) beginner though. Plus since my mouse is under repair now, I use a very old PS/2 mouse with a broken wheel (scrolling works fine but pressing the MMB does nothing), so using Blender is now even more difficult for me.
Also, it would be nice to see you on fun_kobbl playtesting session. If you're in, Admer will send you a PM.

"You could've split the upper part from lower one with cylinder to give it ability to turn to sides"Is there still a way to split it?
"Would work well for tower defense game"Well, I'm just trying to recreate a similar structure from Tiberian Dawn/Renegade:

My last attempt to make something "good" in Blender:
No ridiculous ties for now?
Alright. But I think I will fill it with acid instead, because the map has a somewhat greenish tint. In HL there's a little differense between acid and lava anyway.
It seems that I'm the only person here who wants to wear that ridiculous tie...
You can send him a PM. He should notice it.
EDIT:
Any ideas what to place there?
EDIT:
A)
And my map now has 15k faces... I suppose it's because of the improved arches:
I hope at least somebody will notice this map when I finish and upload it.
@Admer456
What about to make Trempler one of the playtesters?

Well, this multimanager looping system looks way easier than the one described in the tutorials section. I'll use it instead if you don't mind.
Resurrecting the thread:
You're welcome.
Well, Source is easier than UE4 though.
@Instant Mix
But how would HL know what does 13 mean?
EDIT: As I thought. If you set it to a number higher than 10, the door just won't make any sound at all, even though I copy-pasted "doormove1.wav" and named it "doormove11.wav".

Unfortunately you can't do that in classic HL. But, you can place a trigger_multiple, which activates your door (the door must not make any sounds, disable them) and an ambient_generic with your sound via a multi_manager.
But Sven Co-op allows you to do that though without such entity setups, as far as I know.

Ok, now at least I know what they are.
No-no, I will find a front-end compiler myself. Thanks anyway
I started to use Radiant just because it was unclear to me how to set jackhammer up for q3 arena so I tried Radiant which automatically sets everything up.
If I successfully configure jackhammer for q3 this time, I even may switch back to it. The main page says there's a cool shader editor in J.A.C.K.

Thanks. Maybe someday (lol) I will start learning coding.
I've been thinking why can't I compile my q3 map with jackhammer. Maybe I have to export it to .MAP (I don't think q3map2 knows what's .jmf) and use something like batch compiler. Or maybe jackhammer automatically exports it to .MAP. I don't know yet.

Oh... Sorry then. I'm not much of a Source mapper so I can't help you with that
But Source is more popular than GoldSource, so I suppose there's a shitload of Source tutorials at the web. Valve Developer Community is a great place to start.
@Admer456
Basically belarusian is similar to russian, just 10 times funnier.

(РУССКИЙ! Иди на Ð, иди на Б. Раш Б, раш б! СУКРБЛЬЯТ!!! Lol)Was it really necessary to type this?
Can't say what does that exactly mean. Try looking into the error guide.
EDIT: Here's an ancient thread on TWHL. Read carefully: http://twhl.info/forums.php?thread=18413
You probably used clipping tool too much or didn't snap something to grid.
Also check your map for problems by pressing Alt+P.

Uhm, monster_player?
There's a simplier way. You just do a W:3 H:3 patch mesh and then... Well, the screenshots will explain better:
You just drag verticies like that. No need to divide it in segments - the editor will do it automatically.
As for the Surface Inspector... Well, for me texture application in Radiant is a true torture. I think I have to use Jackhammer for texturing and Radiant for the rest.

At least you don't have to drag every vertex manually if you don't need to. But sewing and subdividing is still something I barely understand.
What's also frustrating is that the texture you apply to a displacement has some kind of... UV-Lock(?) which causes the texture to stretch sometimes.

The problem is that I just can't make an arched patch mesh:
There's just no arch tool for that.
