Germany. The land of neo-Nazis and cold people who don't give a shit to each other. We always beat them at soccer (World Cup 2002, confedarations cup this year). They also have one of the best beer in the world and the girls are hot. Their authoban is 100% lit. Except X-Tender, all germans I know are cool (stepp, klein, frie). That's all I know

Nice shit
Quote from Fletch3) I'd love to have custom textures, but the texture importing interface is quite possibly the shittiest tool I've ever seen. So now I need a texture artist who also hopefully knows Unix or whatever the hell it's running.
It isnt that hard if you get the photoshop .vtf plugins. Just export your texture to .tga and create a simple .vmt in like 2 seconds.
I dunno, I like source but the tools could be improved. What Quakis posted is possibly the biggest issue in Hammer 4. It's annoying.
Quote from ZackerA reason why the modding community is rather small might be that you get flamed if a mod release is not the next big thing? Because of a few top quality mods many people expect all mods to be on commercial level or above.
Yeah man, that's so true. I personally hate when people bash other people's work just by the looks.
gah this is cheap advertisement imo. Don't really like the idea sorry.
yeah curman, there used to be huge moshes in their concerts. Get one of the live DVDs and you will see what I'm talking about 
Quote from curmanNo mod scene? Mod Database? Http://www.moddb.com Did this site just die, or did you not know about it? I find it pretty entertaining to read for updates on mods, not all Half-life 2 mods though, but theres NUMEROUS sites giving mod updates and news posts.
He meant that there aren't many mods out atm. If you were to map for HL¹ you could choose between many mods (CS, TS, NS, DoD, TFC, etc... each one covering a different theme). It takes longer to make a (good) mod nowadays though.
It's sad but true. Those kids who used to spend their entire day mapping grew up and now either got into the gaming industry or work on major mods. There are a few quality mappers popping out here and there but they are exception imho.
Back in those days it was harder to make a cool looking map, no one knew how to make textures, models and stuff. Now you just sit on your comfortable chair, fire up hammer and bingo, you got plenty of quality resources in your fingertips. Quality textures, quality props etc... So these new mappers just make an empty and boring room and fill it up with props.
The community used 'to be run' by the community in the past but now it's run by a corporation. Maybe that's why the major mods focus on getting their mods bought. While valve's presence in the community is good it's also bad in the other hand if you get what I mean.
There are a two sites you didn't mention where you can pimp your map too btw. http://www.lanmaniax.com

Altho most people hated Mortal Kombat 4 I liked it.
Been listening to some classical music while mapping too. It's inspiring and relaxing. I'm not kidding btw.
Nice D3, but what exactly did you do.
Very nice work ferret. Her feet look a bit weird tho.
Quote from KosmoWhy these natural disasters keep happening? Can't we just go by a month or so without some sort of large scale attack from nature?
Cuz we keep fucking up nature, what would you expect
For those who dont know that's one of the rainiest areas in the world and it haven't rained there in like 3 months. It used to rain every fucking day there 
Nice stuff. But the angel girl needs some work indeed.
Looks pretty cool!
Pretty cool stuff. The bottom part of the wall texture would look better in a separate brush tho.
I know this is probably none of your business but this photo is quite shocking, for me at least.
