Quote from instaThat looks sweet, KB. Does HLRally Source still use "small scale" levels, or is it built like a normal map now since the source engine can tackle much larger areas?
were sticking with the normal HL2 scale now that the grid is large enough.
and yeah that 3d skybox is using the texture from inferno on a displacement. but i felt it needed to change, i wanted to make the skybox more life-like which is why i stuck in the trees and houses.
Hey guys 
this is something ive been working on for HLRally:Source
The first one is using an old skybox and lighting.

Quote from InsaneSingingBlendercremes original idea for hlrally wasnt it?
im not exactly sure what the original idea was for hlrally, but it was clear that the community wanted weapons.
i guess it took a little convincing from gabe to move ahead with hlrally:source and change the design of the game.
Quote from ReNoAre HLRally planning on making a source version? I was always quite tempted to make a map for that but never really got around to it, and now it seems a bit silly to bother.
yeah we are, but it wont be traditional rally this time around. were going for more fun filled combat racing with lots of weapons and destruction.
Quote from JALbtw did you only use screenshots of ravenholm to create this, or how did you do it
yeah i took about 10-20 screenshots of that section.
thanks for all the positive comments 
heres the layout:
http://www.hlrally.net/warfle/misc/morbidlayout.jpg
the top left corner was the part i remade from the original ravenholm, the rest i added to change it into a circular shaped DM map. i guess you have to run through it to see exactly how it differs.
i guess i cant really prove that the map was built from scratch, but isnt the hl2 leak about 1-2 years old? i doubt ravenholm was even finished around the time it was originally leaked. you guys will just have to trust me on this 
Quote from JALMy guess would be he got the ravenholm .rmf file from the source leak
no, i didn't get the original vmf from anywhere, i just rebuilt it as close to the original as i could, then modified it to play well for a dm map.
Quote from SpellbinderAll you did was to rearrange the furnitur as i see it.
actually, 80% of the map is brand new stuff that wasn't in the original ravenholm.
EDIT: sorry, quoted wrong person.
hello everyone
just recently mailed this to valve. i was originally going to put this in the WIP contest forum, but its not actually WIP anymore. :-?

you might notice screenshots 1,2, and 9 were recreated to look as much like the original as possible. the rest of the map (most of the map) is entirely original.
awesome textures here, all remind me of the fallout series which was coincidently set in the future and had lots of dirty metal

some physicists are trying to make a time machine with lasers that bend light, i believe its connected with relativity, as a lot of space time research is.
and about the discussions of going back and stopping wars, the theories are that you COULD stop something from happening, but it wouldnt change anything in the worldline that you came from.
"If you traveled through time, you could encounter yourself in any of the alternative scenarios, but you could not alter the flow of your own space-time continuum. It's physically impossible."
as we all know, its possible to slow time down, and possibly even stop time for certain observers. i wouldnt rule out time travel as just science fiction, but then again its way too much to comprehend at this point, well for my puny brain anyway 
a lot of scientists believe that when a object that has mass reaches the speed of light, it turns into pure energy and destroys the object.
there was an experiment where scientists shot a beam of light (which has no mass) through a tube filled with certain gasses at 300 times the speed of normal light. the beam of light actually exited the tube before it entered.
