Who wants to bring this back now?
I've already got part of a map that I can turn into a room.

Definitely. I was toying with the idea of refreshing the old thread earlier this week.

I might, now that I can map for Source. Although I'm completely new to the source engine.

Uh, why? Source SDK.
Speaking of which, what engine should be the standard? I assume most modders have the Orange Box by now? Or should we stick to the standard SDK base?
Also, I think custom materials/sounds/models etc. should go in subfolders such as "rooms_username" (eg. models/rooms_strider) for ease when it comes to compiling the whole mod together, at the end.

I don't mind now what engine you'll choose, I bought ep2 too 
But what happened to the other rooms? I know I created one(actually my first map for source was that map).

Yeah, OB. I'll have to compile mine in HL2, but It'll give me a chance to do HDR stuff.
I guess I should go and buy OB sometime, though.

Someone will need to draft up a list of regulations and requirements for each room. 2D skyboxes? Global lighting? Environment effects? etc. There needs to be limitations. I'm not well-versed enough in Source mapping to make the list, I've no clue what kind of global variables there are to be concerned.

Post #278022
What about having a time limit so it doesn't take as long as the hl1 rooms?
Posted 14 years ago2010-01-16 11:27:43 UTC
Post #278023
If anybody uses different skybox materials, lighting etc. we can just link it via a changelevel, the same way as the GoldSource one.
Time limit is a bit constricting, at least at this point.

Yeah, a time limit isn't a good idea for a mod. A compo, yes, but not a mod.
EDIT: And if I wanted to stretch the definition of a room, could I?

Yes, I don't like putting a time limit on it either.
Aside from not being some sort of competition, I also remember that several of the original rooms were added much, much later. It'd be a shame to exclude a new guy-- or someone who was just uninformed-- because of a deadline.
That assumes that the time limit would be relatively short, that is.

I can't submit because it won't compile!!! Because, all the tools on windows7 work for CRAP!! GGRRRRRR-MEOWNYOROWR!
oh yes, the lady at gamestop told me any usb keyboard would work.. so i just picked a cheap-o one up for 15 bones.

Then just make sure it CAN compile on someone else's computer, and then submit the VMF.

Sure.. Ill do it. Just draw up some guidelines.Most definitely, just try to keep it as simple as possible, since as a general rule: human beings have a tough time following instructions.

What about having a time limit so it doesn't take as long as the hl1 rooms?Yeah, i agree, at some point at least. Rooms HL took WAY longer than i ever expected it to.. (still accepting Goldsource entries btw) [/hijack]

can do.. want to work on a few of them for me?
The rooms map isn't done yet.. it has a max clipnode error (easily solved, i'll have to cover all the non-play area in clips again)
but the other 2 if you REAAAALLY wanna compile something for me..
check your pm's

I'd say no on the deadline, agreeing with the arguments already presented.

Post #278052
Sorry, I didn't explain correctly.
Like Captain Terror said, at some point at least. Not now, but after a lot of things are clarified and we have quite a lot of submissions, there should be a deadline.
And this is not for us, it's for the person who puts all the rooms together. It's more convenient for him.

I thought Strider was heading this?! =)
That said, i think the person who DOES end up heading this, should structure it so you personally have as little work to do as possible. (cuz your gonna have your hands full in the end, compiling, debugging, and playtesting..
I thought Captain Terror wasNope! I've only ever made one source room in my life, and i have a couple more in the works.. Someone with WAY more experience than me with the source engine should run the show...
