Seventh: this is now an official competition, and is running up to late February
Allright, since there's still no HL1 compo, i've decided to start one myself.
What you have to do:
Make a HLDM map for my server. Make it fun. Make it interesting. Use your imagination.
Every contestant will have their map played on the server.
And, there is another "price:" The creator of the most fun/humorous/creative map will be the second Admin on my server. You'll only have access to serverside commands like changelevel. Custom map uploads still need to be done by me, since i am the only one with ftp access to the server.
All i need are two more judges. Im thinking of Captain P and Kasperg. If you would to be the judges, reply in this thread.
End of text. Start mapping!

Donno if I'll enter... I'm not good at this and I'll probebly ask for help with optimizing the map I'm making right now, so I don't think I can enter! 
Edit:
When is the deadline... if I can enter it even if I'll ask for help I might br able to finish it in time.

I might extend. Depends whether or not we will have an official HL compo right after the source one.

Dm_stranded??? Argh, but that's unfair, you're way ahead of the poeple that start a new map then!

Post #156503
You can have it official if Kasperg agrees, and I'll splice it between this Source competition and Kasperg's HL competition, which would otherwise immediately follow. PM him and draw his attention to this thread?

Mwahahaha... I'm almost finished with my Ey_toxic map and I started it many days ago... I stopped in the middle for I wanted to finish my compo entery for the last contest. I returned to Ey_toxic when I needed pepper to help me place his camera model in my compo map... he didn't return the map yet.

@Freshed: I made a quick HLDM map for Muzzle's server in 5 hours. Am I disqualified because I used my 5 years of mapping experience then? Or because I used parts of other, unfinished, maps I made long ago? 
Just create something that is enjoyable to play. I doesn't have to be perfect or visually astoundishing, it has to provide a fun time for the players. Rehash an old map if you like, whatever you do, it's about pumping some fun into the server.
So, yeah... have fun!

Post #156688
I said maybe. I have some nice ideas for a DM map, but it would probably take me too much time to complete. Dont worry about me for the moment.

Good then I have more time to work on my map!
....Wont it be disqualifed if I'll ask Kasperg for help in optimizing? I know very little of all the technics(exept a from thinking on good layout,func_walls and null textures) and I don't think I can optimize it by myself. Some help from somebody else will help me alot.

ansith, it looks fullbright. Delete the light entities and use textlights

Post #157010
For some strange reason textlights don't work for me anymore since I got steam

Are you using the latest ZHLT?
if so, just reduce the light volume of your entitities

@Ansith: check the .rad files your compile tools are using. Steam doesn't change anything to the compile process except for a different game pathname and such.
