That's fair. Thanks for answering! Hope you get some good stuff!
I'm assuming I can't submit a vanilla map I've made in the past? Or change an Op4 map I made into vanilla?

This contest is right up my alley but I'm too busy lately to do a new one from scratch :(

Here is my HL1 deathmatch map. It requires a custom sky (included in the zip).

https://twhl.info/vault/view/6698

Let me know if you need me to modify it. I'm not 100% sure the .res file works. I know that's important for servers/map downloads and would hate for it not to have the right sky.
It's a pain, but yeah what Archie said.

Look at edges that are complicated or that you have recently changed. Also make sure you don't have any entities outside of your level (or flush with the level's outer walls).

In my experience, most of my leaks are the result of me changing the size of a room and missing one side. Either that or I misclicked and re-sized/moved something without realizing it.
Do you know anything about "Dawn Half-Life"? I found a server of it and it's the wackiest thing I've ever seen (people turn into motorcycles or something?) I can't seem to find it on Google, though.

When do you expect to be done collecting stuff? I'm working on a deathmatch map for an hour here and there, not sure when it will be done. I'd love to have you include it!
What did it look like? I'm intrigued.
Got it! Thank you! It's fairly wacky. I definitely like the sniper knife.
Downloaded Jaykin Bacon but it doesn't have an exe for the game itself. I can't launch it from Steam either. Is there an easy fix? Thanks for the suggestion!
I was playing online and noticed some crazy mods. It occurred to me that it would be fun to use some of their assets (with attribution of course) and concepts for a single-player mod.

The idea: use crazy mod weapons/models/settings and try to make a VERY SERIOUS single-player mod. (The humor would be in trying to incorporate it into the Black Mesa setting in a narratively consistent way)

Obviously I'll need to learn more to construct a proper mod. But in the meantime I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for mods that have weird weapons/models/etc.

Examples of weird stuff I've seen that I'd love to use:
-Rocket Crowbar's parabolic longjump module
-A weird cannon that has a bouncing cannonball (not sure what mod)
-Awkward bikini girls from some Eastern European map maker
I'm happy to play test! (Right now I only know how to map, but hopefully I'll learn more)

Agreed, banned cow avatar person. I would love to see the old textures. Are there any other texture posts or resources locally or otherwise that you guys know of?
Awesome, thank you so much!
Sorry for the n00b question. I just finished my first deathmatch map in 20 years. I only used default Op4 assets (though I may have also used some CTF assets - just a texture or two).

I'm assuming I don't need to give people the whole fgd(s)? Just the .bsp?

Thank you! And I apologize if this information is available elsewhere, I did a few searches for it and didn't see it.

I'm having the exact same problem with GoldSource. Loop is checked. Nada, no sound whatsoever.
