an P......The Hunter.
i'm not happy with the dots before my name.. just what exactly was meant by that?

anyways, i still hold dm_stranded as an entry, but i have another idea, so if i get finished on time, i shall be submitting 2 maps for this compo..

Just to clarify things, thanks to Muzz's server i am indeed a whore of making dm maps.. but hey, its fun.. but enjoy it while it lasts because i predict that once hostage situation is finished, i shall fully convert to source...
erm.. dunno.. I just cant see me continuing to map for dated technolgy..

And i had always planned to do a source sequel for HL:HS, right as soon as i got HL2..

Dude, you still don't get it, do you? There's so much more you can improve on dm_stranded. But your problem is: you don't see the oportunities. Really :(.

Source... :zonked:

My chances of winning are rather low with all these great mappers entering, but considering this is a official compo, I might have some chance for bronze :glad:

Ah FresheD is back. ^^

You got another month to make something, so go for it!

Posted 18 years ago2006-01-29 09:30:31 UTC Post #160248
Aaaaw, you missed me! :D

Anyway, I already made a lay-out yesterday so I think i'm going to start the actuall map tomorrow.

EDIT: Hunter, argh.. just do what you think is right.

You could work on dm_stranded, it's far from perfect.
You could also start a new map and enter with dm_Stranded and that..

muzz tell me - should i continue work on stranded, or should i go with a new idea?
How about both? :D You seem to map a lot, so you got plenty of time. :)

Thanks :) Been working on it for a couple of hours a week for a little les then a month now.

@ Hunter, dont be put down so fast by other entries, just give your idea a try. Just make sure you do it all for fun.
Believe it or not, but i screw around in my maps everytime again, the crowbar stays fun to wack stuff with :).
Posted 18 years ago2006-01-31 17:08:13 UTC Post #160803
@pepper: Looks nice. BM-styled and sort of oldskool. I like it. Do you have a layout planned for this already?

All those shots are a bit on the dark side, bytheway, especially the first one. Care to lit it up some more for playability's sake? Bright maps also tend to be more popular. Personally I like them more because they feel more vivid, but I also think they look more inviting to play in general.
Posted 18 years ago2006-01-31 17:47:21 UTC Post #160813
Ypu, oldskool bm style. Layout in my head, just the standard 8/6 way figure. It's nothing special.

Its hard for me to define what is dark and what isnt. My monitor has a high gamma for itself and the gamma has been tuned up in hl to.

I'l light it up more :)
Posted 18 years ago2006-01-31 18:06:54 UTC Post #160818
Aye, first screenshot is a bit too dark. You might want to add some dim lights to light up the catwalk. The other screens give me a "Opposing Force" feeling. Maybe because that scene is kinda like the one in OpFor. I don't remember the chapter title, though. :)
Posted 18 years ago2006-01-31 18:12:01 UTC Post #160819
Oh, dont know. Never finishd opfor :)

@ Pepper : although i am worried about superior mappers, the real problem is that i am stuck.. i have no idea where to go from here.. my idea has hit a dead end...

I'll maybe try a random idea generator and counter-map or something.. they're pretty useless but sometimes they give a spark

Hunter, double post.. EDIT BUTTON :P

Even with a rather low winning chance i'm still looking rather positive to the comp. Got my hands on custom textures and i'm flowing of ideas.
Considering this compo is HLDM it mostly be about creativity and gameplay, so that's my main focus. I would like to say something against the more experienced (and maybe arogant) mappers: Don't underestimate beginners, we might shock you. New talent may come. ;)

I sent my mortar-labs!I'm gonna win!Of course not..but it was fun sending it , to make more entries.
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-03 03:59:10 UTC Post #161232
How about you extend the time till 2 of march so I can enter, That would be nice :D Come on I've been good you know it
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-03 08:42:33 UTC Post #161253
Yeah what freshed said. New talents will come out. ;)
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-03 08:54:41 UTC Post #161257
i was up all freaking night long last night, creating custom textures and custom sounds for my map.. and its not too bad... not too bad at all.. Still needs a lot of tweaking, but the basic layout is there.

Slight problem though.. its about 8mb large (custom sounds.. lots of custom sounds)

I'm hoping for my first compile today..

Minor mapping problems already made sadly.

EDIT: Compiled... did I say minor?? I must say HUGE!

EDIT EDIT: Another compile! Ha, solver all errors besides 1!

Invalid Solids, great, i'm fucked.
