With Mapping and Modding Half-Life 2 Complete, game fans will get a chance to progressively expand their skills at mapping and modding. This is a one-of-a-kind book, jam-packed with insider tips and techniques by a leading Half-Life 2 modding expert. Full Description

Game engines are rapidly becoming more powerful and the practice of modding (customizing a game and its levels and other assets) to tailor the game to the player's desires is growing exponentially. Half-Life 2 provides an incredibly versatile game engine and modding tools that game players and developers can readily use to change the game itself by doing everything from tweaking parts of the game to creating entirely new games, 3D environments, and simulations. In Mapping and Modding Half Life 2, readers will learn how to create amazing mods using innovative techniques developed by the author. The book shows, step-by-step, how to create new maps, textures, characters, 3D objects, weapons, audio effects, game action, and much more. Readers will learn how to start out by creating new maps and models and then learn basic techniques of coding to create useful mods. The second part of the book features more advanced techniques as readers learn how to expand their skills and develop more sophisticated models and 3D action. The book also covers other important areas of mod development including creating and managing a mod development team, working with fans, and using skills to develop a professional career in game development.

Anyway, whats holding up the book?

Its not really a big deal (especially since the word it sounds is used for young children), like "wii" it just sounds like something in a language other than the one most used by the designers.

I liked goldeneye too. But I dont think its that great. Not enough to be on the list really. I still remember how the splitscreen made my eyes water.

Quote from BlackPanther

80s comic book hero "The Black Panther"and NOT from the black power rally movement of the 60-70s.

Yeah, but where do you think the hero's name came from?

Warcraft 2 editor

7v7?

I was playing in servers with 80 people

It was like warcraft but every unit was a player

There were even guys just doing nothing but gathering resources and people would go out and fight creeps for gold.

Is it sort of like a macro that autotrades the water (wich im guessing the wizard already has to be carrying) to the player that makes the request?

Nice game, but whats with the completely out of place sci-fi weapons?

Hmm, this can get pretty big with alot of devs and wannabes utilizing it

Registered, nice idea but yeah you'll have to change the bump limit to something higher one day.

Good video, but yea the map could use some work though your right erratic, the idea is pretty clever. I guess its toned down for performence

I'm surprised it wasn't a croc

I know but they're still too small.

ElecHeadMatt, looks good from what I can see of it, but how about some bigger screens?

Defrag, show us 2fort or I will drown a dozen kittens. And just to show I'm serious I'm gonna go ahead and drown the first one anyway.

Just CTF in general

Nexus, I thought it was a CS:S map

Yes, It must of been captured.com since it was hosted by planetquake.

Ugh, its so sad to see so many things gone now :nostalgic:

Wasn't there some site devoted to all things CTF? I could of sworn it was PlanetCTF or something. Or maybe I'm just getting the name wrong. Any help?

Squirrelly looks like an "almost-millionaire". He has silver teeth and a nice bimbo, but millionaires have better ones. He also can't afford for her to get a good boob job.

p.s. dont kill me squirrelly
