Well I haven't mapped much for about a week due to a break up and being cheated on. Mapping alone on my computer just makes me sad right now. Hope I can finish I have so much to do.

I'm making progress, but there's still much to do. Other than that, it's classified. Sorry Potatis.

Can't wait to see your entry! As for me, it looks as though I won't be able to have a life for the next month. 
Lol I put fifteen hours in mine today. I just can't wait till the end, its good to see my maps stacking on top of eachother finally.

It sucks to know I may not be able to finish. Schools coming up in twenty days and with work and a busy schedule its hard to find time to map like I used to. And i'd rather do something all the way or not at all. And early extension to an extra twenty days or so would be nice even though we were given so much time in the first place. Anyone else agree? If not i'll just have to shun a lot of things and plan better. Hmm, plan better or procrastinate and beg for extension? I blame it on you guys for giving us so many extensions.
You know what I mean? No because these faces portray no emotion whatsoever lol.
Are you entering oh mighty captain?

I highly doubt that this compo will get an extension. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Bah. My entry might have just died because I can't seem to get a self illuminating texture.
Stupid material system.

find a way around it. or keep on mapping other stuff and every now and again come back to trying it out.

Do you want the whole texture to illuminate, or just bits of it, JeffMOD?
Whole texture.
Bits of it. Use an alpha channel with this one.

I've got selfillum and an alpha mask to work (finally) so the frame doesn't glow, but 95% of the actual lit up part is white, when the texture is green.
Tet: I could do that, but it really bothers me when I leave a part of a map unfinished- that and it looks like crap as it is now.

Maybe the Alpha channel has to be really dark? I'm just spitting ideas, I don't really know.
Posted 13 years ago2010-08-03 16:52:26 UTC
Post #283840
I figured it out; The alpha had to be an internal one (the $selfillummask function didn't work) And the TGA had to be save without RLE compression to keep the alpha intact. The tint seemed to be hurting it as well.

Zeeba: Yes i am but probably only for source; I might complete a small gs entry as well.

You can only submit one entry - the newest one will be judged.

Post #283846
you can't enter source and goldsource like previous compos?
Posted 13 years ago2010-08-03 19:03:05 UTC
Post #283847
You can submit one or the other, but you've never been able to submit both at once.

So, does the map have to playable ? As in does their have to be a spawn point, and does the map have to be like a real level like with purpose and monsters, i mean does it have to be somthing like a half-life 2 level ?
Also can we use counter strike mapping ? doesnt it technaicaly count as half-life ?

It has to run in the game you're using (Which can be Half-Life 1, Half-Life 1 Deathmatch, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 Deathmatch, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, Half-Life 2: episode 2, Counter-Strike Source, Team-Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, or Portal) But NPCs aren't a must if you don't want to use them.

my map is nearing the entity limit.... creeping towards 80%. I'm only halfway done And penguin. I know the entry can't be a mod, but it can be multiple maps, correct?

Post #283895
Yes

Post #283896
in source you can go well over the entlimit anyway i'm pretty sure :/ not brushes tho. that shit will stop your map from compiling altogether.

I think it is Joe. Notice all that green?
Although I can see why you'd not realise that. A xen lightstalk emitting green light is weird, yet suitably dreamish.

Competitions pretty well get 'Start' and 'End' news posts, so generally its open until you see a news post.
That is.. if the 'our current competition!' at the top right of the page doesn't grab your attention.

I already saw the compo announcement, but as it was already on when i registered and i figured it'd been on for a while because it had 10 comments already, so i didn't bother.
Besides, i wouldn't really map for a compo if you gave me 2 years, i don't like competitions.
