Mapping Dr. Breen's House, should'nt that be Dr. Breen's Office? A house in Black Mesa sounds weird, and might no have that "Black Mesa" feeling. An office does. Black Mesa has lots of offices and i think Breed should be in one of those. So do we have to map a house or an office style map in Black Mesa?

what are you looking for iin this compo, massive detail in furniture and stuff?We arent looking for anything in particular. This is a chance to show what you are best at:
-It might be designing furniture
-It might be making nice exterior architecture
-It might be adapting a building to a nice and complicated terrain
-It might have to do with lighting and "feeling"
Of course, if you are good in all these and other things, the map will be better
It'll be hard to get that black mesa theme in his houseMaybe he doesnt actually like Black Mesa and his house looks nothing like it, maybe it does... By the way, using the standard rock cliff will help making it "belong" to the Black Mesa theme

you can compensate it with good interior brushwork etc. This is NOT a vertex manipulation contest!

6. The house must be located near a cliff.Well, a bit of terrain wouldnt do any harm there
7. There must be a connection to the Black Mesa Tram system (train tracks and a tram stop).

In the competition details it states that if you want to include custom sounds, models etc you will need to make it into a miniMod.
I AM including custom things so is it okay if I make this in spirit then make it into a miniMod to submit?

No, sorry, Spirit is not allowed. Custom materials are okay, but custom code isn't.

No spirit? Damn, I had a good idea for it...
I think lots of people will get the same idea about something, after all, you have to have the half-life transit system in your map so some
people will adapt that the same way...

Hmm.
I think I might enter this one.
And you just have to have a pair of traintracks in the map somewhere? Do they have to go anywhere? Or do we just assume they connect to the Black Mesa Tram system?
Can you just tell me exactly what you need to be in the map? Because that isn't very specific to me.
Thanks.

The house must be located near a cliff.You have to be able to see the cliff I guess then?

Well, you must be able to see the cliffs, obviously, and you must have a tram stop and tracks. Have to wait for Kasperg's decision on whether the tram has to be there or move.
Go for it! You've got the summer holidays. Try and win yourself some virtual silverware.

Does the train have to be the Black Mesa train Gordon rides in on the day of the residence cascade?
I would like to make a different kind of train... I know this spoils it a litte, but can I have the train crash right into his living room?
I'm going to have a few maps if terrain until you finnaly get to the house... Will this part be considered during judging?

I'm gonna go for it Alex.
Just drawing up floor plans now in paint, good old paint.
Can I just ask something, about the tram, is there a actual model or something for the tram in Hammer? Or do we have to create a tram?
I've never had to use the tram before.

No model! And I forgot to remove before I first compiled the level a wadinclude prameter thats includes a wad that I wont use in my map! Do I have to include the wad in the zip/save as the map now?

Lots of questions.
There's another thing that's unclear to me. You're talking about a cliff with Black Mesa Transit System Tracks.
Should we make something like this:
http://wdevries.demon.nl/MarkH/Atom_zooi/c2a5a0000%20(Large).JPG Outside area, with railtracks somewhere, and with Breens house inside the mountain?
Or this:
http://wdevries.demon.nl/MarkH/Atom_zooi/c0a00000%20(Large).JPG Inside area, with railtracks inside, some pipes, detail, and breen's house embedded in the walls.
Personally, i hope the second one is how ou would like it. I hate the first one.
