I could see clean hammer perspective view shots like that making for some pretty sweet large abstract prints. Hm..

Decompile that bad boy and see what you can come up with! If I made this map as a model in rhino, I could export elevation drawings from it and add lineweight in illustrator! I could even make section drawings of the map.
It's funny, I sometimes use hammer to make drawings for school. I just change it to black on white and make everything black by grouping it and "hiding it" and then editing it's color to black. It's like "layers" in halflife. Maybe I should write a tutorial.
Here's an image I got from a 3d model, couldn't open it large bc I don't currently have illustrator.
Edit: ohh, hahaha you made them look like they are hanging on the wall. yea!

Print it up on black vinyl, and make a pretty lightbox for it and voila! Super sexy wall dressing <=
Or, just use a nice lcd painting. (the obvious advantage of the lightbox is it being wayyyyyy cheaper)
edit. i think i'm totally gonna do this. we getting some vinyl printed up at work pretty soon for work, i'll just include it in the order. Only other thing is to decide how big to make it, but i guess i'll just go shopping for light fixtures to get an idea, PLUS it will make a perfect fit for the light box.
Come to think of it you could also print it light reactive, and den just uplight(outside, no box) with a small-tubed, singleblacklight. hmmm wonder which way'd be beter-looking, i.e., which method would pop more....

Also i love how we call always plain structures in maps "blocky" or "boring", BUT, in real-life TONS of buildings are very square/blocky, or just very unimagineatively built =)

Woo, grats!
The servers are up 24/7 afaik - you can even upload your maps yourself. Me & Archie will be hosting open playtesting sessions for judging once it's over, stay tuned for the dates.
Check the first post for IPs & other details.
Captain Terror:
Sweet! Not sure which way would make it stand out more, I pictured a simple print on black vinyl w/o any other effects, but backlighting it sounds very interesting. Keep us posted on this. ;o

When you need testers, I recommend you ask people in TWHL's Steam group.

Also give any of the group admins a nudge and I'm sure they won't mind creating a group event for your testing session.

Probably to allow for slow upload speeds? Hopefully that's why, two months was a hella long time(good for experimenters though).

You can use the FTP client built into Windows. Open a folder at random and enter the FTP URL at the address bar.

Just enter ftp://twhl.oskar-lh.name/ in the address bar. You'll figure it out from there. I've added you as a friend on Steam. Accept my request and we'll chat.

Did not listen to Archie when he once told me to map full vis/rad every time, and now as a direct consequence i have to re-light my entire map. Neat...
I feel like a fireman with this map, because every problem i fix two more crop up. My to-do-to-finish list is like 20 lines long... I need more firemen

Now if hammer had legit real time lighting previews we wouldn't run into these messes.

To do traditional GoldSrc or Src lighting in real-time you would need a 10 petaflop PC. Of course, it's just that it's very inefficient. Frostbite 2 (Geomerics) managed it...

Yay!
Good luck everyone!!
I'm gonna go work on my modeling skills. I'm sorry to say that I'm gravitating towards UDK until I get to play with the new source engine.
I'll be back for compos tho
And to finish the project I was working on before this.

I have come to the realisation that the only decent maps I have ever uploaded were example maps.

Me too Tet, i feel i'm better suited to model rather than build whole levels, but of course i will never stop mapping completely;)
