Exactly!Yeah I can actually imagine the inmates in it, smoking and selling drugs at the stands and all with the same colour overalls and the guards watching from afar.
But the school looks more like a jail, rather than a school xD

1 smokes, 1 drinks beer, 1 takes drugs, and everyone else drinks rakia (south-Slav version of vodka). Except me, I am the only guy who is quiet and unnoticeable.
Hmm, maybe I could add some details into the map which tell a mini story for themselves

Mapping without the grid lines:
The snap-to-grid feature is still on, though. Apparently, it's easier than I thought.

The texture problems are temporary, I will fix that 
However, I will not map with the grid in that map!

It was done, yes. Designer you may be familiar with, Hezus took it on like 5 years ago. But I thought it was kinda mediocre, didn't go as far as it could have. I have a very different direction overall, and think I'm doing things in a unique enough manner to warrant doing and not make people feel like they're playing the same maps again.
Also to give it that extra "Oomph", I'm doing various small extensions throughout, and only really paying attention to the core aspects of the original, taking plenty of artistic liberties, both things the other guy didn't do. I have entire segments that just didn't exist in Uplink, or play extremely differently, or what have you.
Here's some comparison images to anyone wanting to see some difference. Just some that I could find a reasonable comparison between both maps for. I have other cool areas that don't have a counterpart in the original or Hezus' version:

Meanwhile, I found an older version of Blender (i.e. version 2.60) and it seems to not minimally require OpenGL 2.1, but something that my laptop is actually able to support.
I seriously love the sculpting tools which Blender has to offer.
Though, for some of my projects, I'll still stay with 3ds Max 6 and 9.
And @Crollo, holy ship, you've made something that would cause a "R.I.P. my laptop".
Good job.

If you're intending to make a HL2-themed mod/mappack then that's great. But I wouldn't get your hopes up for making much more, many of the core game mechanics simply cannot translate into goldsource.
@Admer Nice! Sculpting is yet another skill I managed to miss, so enjoy it while it's still easy to learn.
Found a new way to create tapped holes. It makes the threads slightly less accurate, but decreases my stress and simplifies the geometry significantly.

"enjoy it while it's still easy to learn."Well, to be honest I believe that I'm already approaching the end of my ability to learn things easier. (I mean, new skills)
I learned so much when I was 12, 13 and 14, although the real progress started when I was 13. (regarding mapping, modelling, texturing etc.)
Or maybe I just feel too old because 15 (my age) is a nice number, lol.
But I definitely know that I need to find some tutorials for Blender, because where on Earth is the material editor!? (that's just an example :3)

EDIT: I think the hardest things would be physics and terrain. Everything else has been done before.
Posted 7 years ago2017-03-13 17:03:29 UTC
Post #333936
I have an idea for the terrain:
1. Make a model of a random mountain or something
2. Place that into the map
3. Cover (if necessary) with CLIP brushes on appropriate spots
Easy peasy. Or just use the old-fashioned "fake displacements".

Yeah, Shepard is right.
Physics in Half-Life 1 isn't gonna cut it. AT ALL. Unless you want to clip-brush everything, or take up MASSIVE w-poly counts with using vertex-modifying terrain.
So, chances are I'll have to port over my source code to Xash and beg the Russians to help with building physics collisions in Newton. And also getting my Newton to work again, since I somehow broke that.
EDIT: And I'm not too keen on porting my stuff over too...My version of the SDK looks completely different than the standard 2.3/4 SDK.

I ported Parasomnia to Xash3D source code once.
Couldn't compile in Release.
GoldAudio (FMOD) refused to work.
If you have the courage, look at PhysX or ODE or Bullet.

What was the error log exactly? I have a lot of extra code packed on and I dunno if mine would ever get under ~1000 errors/warnings.
Chances are if I'd ever move to the mess that is Xash3D/XT, I'd look into implementing the IVP and Havok physics engine, and studying Valve's implementation of it.
Which to me I find funny in it's own right...putting leaked illegal code into code that is based on illegal leaked code.
But I'd invest in fixing up Newton and having simple, stupid physics. Just don't know why mine doesn't work anyone. Something I did must've messed it up. Hopefully someone or I can fix that in the near future.
The only problem I see is that I can't access collision data from server/client side...it's all engine code. And Valve aren't way too keen on releasing that either. Although it would probably benefit them.
So that might have to be delayed.
Aside from that, I finished all the main textures from Half-Life 2..just need to add the transparency to some of the textures. Also converted all the skyboxes over, blurry, but I hope fixing up the PARANOIA renderer will allow me to replace that with a 512-version like HL2. Also just finished converting the weapons and weapon items. Just need the sounds and I'll being coding. Then onto the actual HUD. And so forth. A lot of work to be done.
