i map for fun. mapping for money would kick ass.

Quote from kleinluka

texture blending means you can blend two textures together, to create a transition, ie between gravel and grass. I don't particularly like the way of doing it that way cause you get those ultra smooth transitions like in farcry which looks unnatural

I think that's pretty cool. I had all these transition textures for HL1 (i try to stay away from 'em now) and that seems like it would save texture artists alot of time. But i can see how it would look unnatural.

I need this game... like... now.

gins!

i have no idea what you're talking about. i only beta tested source for a week or so, and i havent bought it yet, so i dont understand the engine at all... texture blending? wtf?

How are the official textures / models?

VERC calls it hammer.

I tried quark once. Made my head hurt.

what do you mean you dont know hammer?

thats good. belongs in like... a ms paint museum.

red? no... do an orangeish-red background. The black industrial area combined with an orangeish sky would give a feeling of the industrial area overpowering the entire city. with a white background, i get a contemporary art feeling. if you did all red, it'd be like from hell or something.

streamline studios, ah man they got some nice shit... except gunman chronicles. but what do you expect from friggin half life?

gj dude

so whos gonna claim the title as making the first unnofficial map for a game running on the source engine?

YAY

oh wait i dont have source

Type in random numbers.Seriously. We did this all the time at LAN parties. Often got one in one try. Of course, when I tried to demonstrate this at a bigger LAN in april, it took me about 10. But it's fun. Give it a shot.

You can do that on lan, but not for play over the internet.

yea, ill trade you... my starcraft key for ur hl2 key :lol:

I know I will once hl2 comes around

On verc, they say mapping for hl2 is pretty much the same as hl1. find the article on hl2 modding and read it.

it looks good, i'd like to see compiled screens though. Also, make sure you have good lighting - bad lighting in a zombie game ruins the mood.

people keep asking me if im mad because bush won. i guess im pretty mad, but i'm more worried than anything.

Pretty, but vacant. Needs more signs of life imo.

i think that was a feeling blaz was trying to achieve in making this one, though i could be wrong...

i recently had computer problems, and had to reinstall windows. the recovery console didn't work for me. when i re-installed windows, my C drive was formatted. Good thing all my mapping stuff is on my D: drive.

head of state maybe? chris rock is funny.

America does need saving. I cross my fingers tonight. I can't vote. Not old enough.

That biochemical tattoo is wack

jesus man... my geforce 5200 would run that game like molasses. christmas needs to come so i can get a new graphics card.

Quote from Pericolos0

textures need some nice transitions

i concur. Post some r_speeds, too.

I hate tattoos that are like that tribal henna crap, or skulls smoking joints, or roses. It's only cool if you have something original, like curman's tattoo. his looks pretty cool.

p.s. my new av is teh crap

what?
