I love Rimrook's idea! I hate the fact that I can't map GoldSource. :rly:
I also think #twhl3 is pretty cool when there are a few people online but nobody seems to use it anymore. I'm in the room right now, there are 5 others, not one of them talking. :/
TWHL's death?

A mini compo where you make 1 map only using absolutely nothing except the default provided assets. Pure Vanilla. Objective: Make the most authentic looking/playing map as if Valve made it themselves.Although I probably would'nt enter, I like this idea, rimrook... more quality maps to play, right? My money's on Muzzleflash in Goldsource.

A map-like-Muzzleflash compo! Glad I wasn't the only one thinking it.

Muzz/TMA: Face it, you make awsome Black Mesa themed maps. 
Discostu: His graphics card disabled something that makes hammer work (I forget exactly what) and everytime he wants to map, he has to set it lower, then every time he wants to test the map, he has to set it higher, so it's not worth it to him.

Wasn't it hotdog's turn to choose the compo since he won last time? If he declines, would anybody be up for a team mapping compo? Multiple teams of 4 people would be cool, but i don't know if we have enough active mappers to do it.. -OR- ..maybe we get a list of everyone that wants to participate, and split everyone up into 2 evenly-matched teams? i dunno...[/random idea]
I like Rim's vanila HL idea too.. = )

Hey, its not my choice! I said in my PM that I didnt want to pick the next compo because I wanted to enter it but it looks like I wont be able to enter it because I dont have my laptop for another 50 days...so if you guys go ahead with the compo you can count me out unless you wait!!

If you want to free up some rules for a compo, just make another "Map from layout" compo. That was surprisingly successful as well. Or bring back the "map from base" sort of compo. I wish I was around to do that one.

Sadly Playbus comes with Kasperg. They're a package. You should check out there Citizen 2 mod media. God awful.
Just kidding. Maybe that'll smoke him out.

Playbus will never come back unfortunately on twhl, but he's still online on yahoo, so he's not dead =)).
Anyway, he was pretty cool, that's why I miss him. He was also the first one to encourage me to make better maps.

Kasperg couldn't take criticism (even though it was harshly delivered - that doesn't mean it wasn't true) very well, so he got pissed off and left. Playbus followed him, I guess.
Also, Citizen 2 media really is god-awful. Why you would choose to release screenshots of that quality is beyond me.

"Map from layout"I'm up for any competition. And the only reason i did not enter destructification was because i didn't like the idea of it.
So any compo other than than that, and i'll enter for sure.
EDIT---
And about hammer 4 mapping for Goldsource, Quote from the WIKI:
Bugs
Hammer 4.x will probably not load any .spr referenced by the .fgd file.
Hammer becomes buggy for some reason.

Strider started to delete my shoutbox comments and that kind of kiddy retarded behaviour was something I wasn't going to have. Little jelous kids taking over the site was probably the start of its downfall.
About the criticism, you're still wrong about it. I've always taken criticism when it made sense and/or helped my work. It was a few people (Ant, Trapt etc) who couldn't take the counter-criticism (sensible explanations of choices regarding texture and lighting choices), god knows why (jelousy, probably).
About the media for The Citizen Part 2, wait to play the mod until you have anything to say about its quality. And once you've played it, wait and make your own better HL2 mod to have any authority to criticize.
Until next year.

Once you've played it, wait and make your own better HL2 mod to have any authority to criticize.So by your reckoning, in order to review a map / mod you need to be an experienced level designer yourself? I'm sorry but your argument is lacking. Game reviews are posted in countless magazines and on websites by experienced journalists, but you think they have no right because they themselves have never made a videogame which is better? It doesn't take a genius to define what's good and what's bad and it is within anyones right as a human being to convey their opinion.

It's hilarious because it worked.ZING
Anyway I recall reading on Kotaku that the developers of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed were saddened when they read a lot bad of bad reviews criticising their game. They went on about how they worked hard on it so Kotaku replied with something along the lines of it isn't how much effort you put in, they put the game out there for criticism and they got it.
SO I believe you don't have to be a good mapper to judge a mod. On Interlopers a student asked the community to test his 3rd year mod and asked us to fill in a questionnaire. I gave him all the feedback I could and it helped him a lot and yet I haven't released a single mod (yet ;).)
