Totally agreed. I'm still wondering what's the point of keeping your map sources and secrets to yourself. Everybody will most likely just forget your map in a month or two and you'll source files will keep gathering dust somewhere in the depths of your C: drive... What a waste.

The game editing scene is seriously lacking of a place for developers to dump their map sources and textures for others to take advice from. I, for one, would surely join in.

Couldnt agree more.

As I said this is not good bye Im just pissed off with all this shit. Will probably keep modelling props for insurgency though, havent been excited for a game/mod like that for quite a long time.

Well who knows, I getting tired of mapping and gaming more and more these days. Maybe when I get HL2. Yeah I dont have money to afford the expensive computer parts they sell in this country. Maybe that's the reason I dunno.

What really pisses me off about game development in general is that its increasingly getting souless each day. I havent played a game with "soul" since psx.

These new game devs are getting into it for the money instead of the passion. Besides that, considering that making a game for the new gen will be extremely expensive, only the strong franchises (I hate this word) will have a good chance to be succesful. That means many cool companies will go bankrupt and only the stronger ones like EA, microsoft, nintendo, etc etc will survive and monopolize everything. There's always some new part to buy, goddamn it, I hate having to upgrade stuff in a short period of time.

Most of the mappers are selfish, they dont enjoy sharing their knowledge and "secrets" and many think too superior of themselves, like if they were gods or something. Only a few people are like that here in mapcore but its pretty much like that in other communities. And last but not least I'm not sure I wanna keep working on stuff that will be obsolette in 2 months (or less) after the release.

The good part of having "wasted" my past 3 years on mapping is that I made a lot of good friends. Artistic wise I learned lots about observation, color usage and specially how to use photoshop and 3d studio max. I also learned to accept critics and then get stronger with them.

Will this is not a goodbye thing but all this shit have been inside me for quite a long time, I had to say it.

Hey kfs, keep the original light colors

Quote from st0lve

btw. alot of textures are missing.

hmm check out the .txt files, IE, ts_shady info.txt. Theres info on what is missing n stuff.

Cant you guys import rmfs in Hammer 4 ?

The water reflection on the first pic looks so special

nah, just .wad sirep. They are mostly 256x256, and I dont even have the psds anymore.

woah thats such a waste of time, why would anyone make a site like that well, yeah nevermind, cool site.

I was like "what the fuck is going on with this browser"

I decided to release all my Half-Life maps as open source files. That means you can do whatever you want with them, as long as you give me proper credits. The pack includes:

* 15 .rmfs, including CO_PARAGON, TS_SHADY, DM_FETID, SW_COLDSTONE and many more...

* 181 custom made textures

* Many custom made skyboxes, models and sprite

* .rad files

If you can support me with a mirror Id very thankful.

Have fun people

Why should he be pissed off ? People remake official maps all the time, theres nothing wrong with that...

hmm it looks cool but the colors need some work. I dunno, they seem to be too generic. Try some shit with weird colors

mike-o: More shadows would give it a nice touch

erratic: that looks pretty cool but the displacements are way too high in some places.

Looks like a cool map. It needs railings on the prow, better lighting and a subtle fog maybe ? It could hide the map edges at least.

The village got crappy comments and I found the idea to be pretty cool. I usually dont read reviews, I dont want anyone else's opinion, I wanna have my own. Its cool reading them after seeing the movie though.

I hope crazymac is safe

It must be true, spyro games rocked and was one of the only games pos-snes that had soul

Minotaur0

campo grande, mato grosso do sul, brazil (I think its on the old map)

I have to agree with grayfox on this, specially when they bashed fight club over here back in 1999 because some stupid psycho broke into a theater and sprayed his gun on the people watching the movie. Then society had to blame something and they blamed the movie and doom. (The guy assumed he never watched the movie and didnt even know what movie was being played on the room).

Im looking really forward to seeing this movie, I saw the trailler and it looked pretty good!

That looks cool jamin, way too dead tho.
