  • Mapcore should pwn the Valve Map contest

    After reading this i have gotten very excited and I would deff like to be in.

    If there are three teams, which i would suggest, I think we should follow certain themes from HL2, bringing the player back to the game and almost wanting to play it agian. Thats something i believe Valve will be looking for. Here are the three themes I thought of.

    1) The Citadel (the area where you recieve the upgraded G-Gun)

    2) A place similiar to trapville (the area with all the aliens and the priest with the shotgun)

    3) Either the junkyard where "Dog" is or the opening train area.

    These three themes could be split up into the three teams, the teams then could work a decent layout involving all the things that are required to make an excellent DM map. In example: A difference in height through out the level, placement of weapons and power ups, every hall way leads to another (no dead ends). Im personally down for doing the citadel.

    I also agree with Friechamp in creating a temporary forum where we can post about this subject and get things organized.

    Please give me your thoughts on this.

  • Finding a mod team worth your while 101

    I totally agree with everything. Luckly Nightwatch has 2 amazing coders and one of them being the current leader of the mod, Proffesional Victim. Awesome guy btw, and I also agree with members being together. NW, has had a few fights, but nothing big at all, we all admire each others work and accept critism like sex. Did i mention were out of an animator

  • CSS-Assault

    Quote from Fletch

    wow, that mansion remake looks worse than the original. that's saying something

    agreed.

    As for assualt its lookin cute so far, but what I would really like to see is the sun effect used properly, just like that one map in CSS (sorry i dont know the name). It would create a great atmosphere for the map.

    Any other suggestions?More pix soon instead of that one.

    I gues it was bad to post that cause it doesnt really shot much of the map.

    No offense but yes that screen shots doesnt show anything...

  • Half-Life 2

    I honestly saw G-man once.. i think its follow freeman, where i was ina rubbled building turned around to look at a TV that wasnt plugged in and lying on the ground and in the TV was Gman then the TV quickly shut off. Creepy. BUt once you guys get to the last 2 chapers... that area is aboclutly amaing.

  • Halo 2

    Quote from DUFFY

    ime and my friend were up till 3 friday night beating halo 2 but i fell asleep, from what i hear the ending is quite the cliffhanger, but kind of disappointing.

    OMG YEAH IT was! I was all excited the game was finally going back to Earth then..... the credits came up.. and my draw dropped, wondering why the team decided to leave me hanging like a pair of balls on a hott day.

    But all around the multiplayer is awesome and I liked the Single Player to the certain point. And I agree I wish they had more of the game on Earth, and I also which there was more fighting with marines it makes the game so much more intense.

  • My senior homecomming...

    Not sure if this should be in here or EOT... If EOT go head and move it

    Anyways guys, this is my senior homecomming, probably one of the most memorable nights i will have for the rest of my life.

    It started out meeting at my friend Jacks house all 36 of us, at 6:30 pm, then we went to an Italian resturant for dinner at 8:00 pm. The try to fuck us by making the tip not included which was like an extra $500 dollars. The rule there is that if it is more than 8 people to a table then tip is included. We eventually got it figured out and headed to the dance at 9:45pm. The dance kinda sucked, it was hott... only a few people were dancing, and you could barely here the music over all the people talking. So we stayed there for an hour and headed out at 11:00 pm to my friends house for a party.

    We got there at 11:30, the party involved a bon fire, a party '05 bus, rigged cars blasting music, 3 kegs and jungle juice with 5 handles in it, there were also tents for the eager lovers and where we put the kegs. And of course there was bud being passed around. There was an unbelievable amount of people there. It was a real crazy party, but im sure there have been crazier parties. Well, all of a sudden my friend Jon, who was throwing the party, his dad showed up. Suprizingly enough, he was cool with it and didnt want people leaving because there had been drinking going on. Which is most likely the smartest move you could make in that situation. Well to finish it off, i left at 3 am and headed home. The uncool part of this is that i work the next morning at 11:00 am, so i was still buzzin at work.... which sucked.

    Anyways heres some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

    These 2 are from Jacks house, these are the ladies that were there.

    -Anyways, I really like alot of parts in this map, the only think i dont like is the 3rd pic, the brushworkd and lighting are very boring.. have more variance in lights and more black..
