If your entry is for HLDM, i suggest making a new wad with only the textures you're using.Can I ask why you suggest this?

I love the style, but that darkness would be pretty annoying in deathmatch, imo.
Unq, would -wadinclude op4.wad not include all of it?

Unq, would -wadinclude op4.wad not include all of it?Nope, both wadinclude and nowadtextures only embed used textures. So you're fine just wadincluding any non-HL wad for HLDM.

im pretty sure wadinclude includes the entire wad, you used it or not.

Post #333703
I checked VHLT v44 and it looks like it just takes all used textures and embeds those. Just a simple "for each texture write texture data" loop.
Some progress:
I've blocked out the interior for the original rubble map, going to start designing the new underground areas next.

And you don't need to wadinclude each one - wadinclude matches partial filenames and folder names, so you could dump all your custom wads into a folder called e.g. "blastpit" and -wadinclude blastpit would embed all the used textures from all the used wads in that folder.

Double Edit:
Got the layout figured out. It's stalkyard's layout altered.

Knowing there is not a single chance in hell I'll place in this one is freeing, i.e., do whatever without regard to anything. Mine's going to hinge on the nipper side of the spectrum; we'll see how it works out..

Warms the sub-cockle region, to see healthy compo participation once again

Guys, i´m proud you are all doing great stuff ! Thats lovely to see some action again. I´m up for any further mapping compos It´s fun!
Also Doc-Rock great style and work on your map!
I love the Nuke launching.
You can still improve the texturework/brushwork a lot on the map. I dislike the Black/Red Walls and some other textures mhh... also black only for ladders and some borders? :/
I´m sure you can do better !

All I got was the dull sting of Urby's sarcasm 
Nah, mine's getting there. Only one more touch to make on the detail/layout before I get to touching up the lighting and ambience. Then gameplay, then done. I'll see if I can find another good snap with the map in its current state, seeing as I probably already gave away what map I'm doing.

I think what Shepard meant is that this is a competition (as you can see from the thread title and OP + briefing & rules) that primarily focuses on remaking old maps for Half-Life (Goldsource/Source), and nothing else.
EDIT: Oh whoops, already beaten to it, but yea, same thing.
I was thinking about joining, making a crossfire-in-ruins map that takes place after the constant battles and nukes, but then I realize that I don't quite know jack about HLDM balancing (almost never playing MP probably helped), and I found out that this thing have already gone for a while (time limits and all, hate deadlines).
So, I'll just say good luck to everyone joining, hope ya'll have the best of times.

If that's GoldSource i'll eat my hat.
I used Prison Architect to map out the underground area:
Most of it is underground, but the part to the right will probably be level with the above ground area. To add more paths i'll blow holes in some of the walls, maybe randomize which holes get made to shake things up a bit.
The area at the top is a tram station, which will be sealed off so it's just there to show the area continues and connects to something else.

Looks like an interesting layout to map.
Glad to see competition spirit is here.
Here's a horrible quality video of my entry so far. I might redo the claws holding the body capsules to look like one from a quarter machine. I might also add a control switch for them in an operating room that views into it. The operating room would also be the security/ guard tower that guards outside area from stalkyard.

test maps can be fun
My map will have func_vehicles that "haul" explosive pushables, maybe
Initial results:
-players can spawn on func_vehicle.
-pushables can be hauled, for the most part. you can drive indefinitely straight with no trouble, but turning causes them to fall off the vehicle(and explode).
-func_vehicle CAN'T haul other func_vehicle.
more questions:
can vehicles/pushables be teleported?
friction?
conveyors?
gravity?
can player spawn inside func_vehicle?
After some more testing, will try all these things with func_train..

@Archie, maybe a skybox change to go with the texture update. The grass and redbrick walls makes me think Britain. The New Mexico skybox makes me think... well... New Mexico.
So the two together make Britico... which sounds like a cleaning product.

Thanks Tremp, glad there's some interest in mine. It will be hard to compete with yours though.
Looking good Archie, I think the textures are looking better myself.
I'm thinking of 3d modeling a few props instead of leaving them as brush work. Modeling them is the easy part. Making the textures wouldn't be too hard either but for me, wrapping the textures, animating the models and importing them is all new territory. I'm not much of a game designer but I feel it's necessary for this map as the props are starting to get too detailed for brush work.
My models so far will be the body capsules, hanging claws, the turret and possibly grass that dances in the wind.
It would be epic to show people's head/ face through the body capsule glass and see them freaking out inside of them. I'll start on some of the models after work today and post wip.'s soon.

Yep, wasn't turning out how I imagined. Also, it wasn't based on a hl1 map, I was mainly doing it for my server.
I scrapped it when it wasn't playing as fun as I had imagined. I had gone too big with the scale and that's what hurt the game play.
My stalkyard remake is pretty highly detailed since i'm chopping off a few areas. The original stalkyard was sort of symmetrical and had two almost identical outside areas which I thought i'd change in my version. Also, since i've remade stalkyard before, I wouldn't be doing it again unless I made some huge changes.

Yea Jessie, when we were brainstorming names for it.
3D modeling is fun but every time I get to texturing and importing I usually don't follow through. I thought of a cool idea for the claw but it would have to be animated. I doubt i'll find the time and energy to do it but i'll try. Was going to be pulley and chain driven but now going to make it pneumatic.
