First: We need a new frontpage, the forums are fine but the frontpage...i haven't even bothered to look at it for months because there's nothing new to see.

I don't like the idea of adverticing mapcore around, since this is the place for the people who can map, even a little. I know the feedback I get is worth something because the people on this forum are at least as good as I am, most are better. When you go to the average mapping forum the input you get from the map you made for months is about 5 posts like "woah, that's nice" and that's it. Meanwhile the fy_pieceofshit which was made during a coffee brake gets 20 pages of tactical analysis and 4x more downloads. This pisses me off.

Also, if a lot of new people come, they will atract more new people to come, and soon the forum will be full of people pimping their fy_twodoorsandawallinacubicle maps, spamming useless one-line posts and changing their 800x600px sized avatar once a day. People like that tend to scare all the good mappers away.

I don't mean I don't like to see mapcore growing, just do it as it goes by itself.

I was hoping for statham as he is my one of my fauvorite actors ('cause he speaks funny) but I think vin diesel will be just as good..the problem is his skin is way darker than hitmans' and I'm not so confident he looks good in suits..

Actually it's not grass, it's some kind of hay.

Holy shit that looks mad..

Varg Vikernes looks pretty scary too

Umh, I ain't updating. Somehow I still feel like I did a mistake when I updated my GF3 to R9800 pro..that card was the best piece of hardware I have ever bought. Next time I'll go with nvidia, this ati thingy ain't gonna cut it.

Wen't on a trip with a couple of mates, took one photo with Canon a40, succeeded pretty well considering the camera.

A word of advise: Make it brighter. Most of the feedback I got from de_cult was "make it brighter, it's too dark" and it wasn't even as dark as that.

Quote from von*ferret

a lot of polygons for very little detail in your rock faces.

Yeah, I must admit that apart from the map being 99,9% vertex brushes it didn't have much eyecandy. It still had about 3 areas like that + plus tunnels and spawns. But still I must admit that I'm not only a bit pissed about it gettin less results on google than the average aim_map or fy_level done in two hours.

It was already released september 2004, didn't get any attention back then

You can find the map here.

Ahem..

So, I got the layout of the map ready (on paper) and I've got most of the ideas for different areas, it could be wicked shit if I get it done. I'm going to need help of a modeler for this, I'm going to need some 10-15 small models and maybe one piece of architecture.

I'm pretty much sure I'll try to make it in time for that snarkpit compo, I'll start asking for the modeler when I've got some more screenshots from different ideas so there can be some people who might actually be interested

ReNo, sure if I'll get the map finished in a quality that satisfies me, anyway I'm going to need help of a modeler for that, I've got some plans for one of the areas that would kick ass if done right.

The problem is that I've got a busy summer coming, I'm working and I have other hobbies too.

Nah, the idea is to build a dreamworld full of different kinds of areas. Your average Nipper map maybe..

Well this is very early wip (hmm, maybe 1%) just to show I'm not dead yet.

HL developing is like demosceners trying to crank sweet demos in 4k, brilliant and exciting to watch. Next they could try to raise the amount of polies the engine can handle.

Where are my glasses?

After that I'd use mindcontrol to make him shoot himself.

Yeah the pixely look is caused by scanner, they're all from film photos.
