Big maps are ok as the server sends you a compressed file, as an example a 15MB map would be sent to you as a file only around 3MB in size, launch your map in developer mode and have someone connect who doesnt have the map and it will tell you the compressed size.

Has anyone else modded any vehicles with this map yet? Here is another I made EDIT: Did i mention a flying jeep?

You will have to make it yourself :P (not that hard) Should be lots of other variations aswell, cant wait to see what other people come up with :)

This map is in its VERY early stages, just came up with the idea yesterday after messing about creating a few phys_ maps. The aim of it is sort of a multiplayer JBmod done as a HL2DM map. It will probably end up either like the TV program Scrapheap Challenge (or Junkyard Wars as the...

Just a comment on 1). I find it much easier to do terrain displacement on a larger area and on multiple blocks by selecting all the blocks, and painting them together. Then you don't need to worry that much about sewing them as the edges of each block move with the edge of the next block...

Thanks for this crasher, helped me undestand more about lifts and constraints ect.

lol thats sweet, we should make more crazy stuff and share the save files.

Press alt-enter with the entity selected and check StartFadedist is -1 and EndFadeDist is 0. If they are already at that then I dunno, but this is a quite a common solution.

Should be placed C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\YOURUSERNAME\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\maps\

Yup, from that shot it looks like it might be pretty sweet. Care to share some more screenshots even tho its not finished? An overhead shot maybe to get an idea of layout. The reflections from the sun, or whatever those bright patches are look maybe a little extreme, and may be unneeded...

Heh, pretty cool. Although my ball got stuck twice :( had to start it off again with my pistol.

I think I remember you saying you were going to add hint brushes to your map yesterday? Well when I was getting really long compiles I started deleting stuff to see what was causing it, after deleting nearly everything I deleted my hint brushes and compile times went down drasticly. I...

As dart321 says, check the StartFade and EndFade in the entity properties, if you accidently moved the circles by mistake they dont seem to ctrl+z back to the right properties. Most models have default Startfade of -1 and EndFade of 0.

Died near the end of the poison zombie and couldnt be arsed to go from a close save point. Fun to play and see how far you can go. Had points where I was surrounded by zombies because I blocked up the doors and they kept spawing outside and I accidently blew up my door block and had to...

Dont think so, they clarified the rules after I sent them an email, and it now says it cant be submited if it hasnt been published after december the 1st. So it should be fine to release the map.

This tutorial: http://www.snarkpit.com/editing.php?page=tutorials&id=116 says that there is no rain texture in hl2. Maybe if there is one in CS:S you could extract it and use it in hl2 maps. Either that or make one yourself.

I am posting a lot of tutorials lately, but what the hell, this tutorial gives good stating information about getting combine into your maps and behaving correctly. http://interlopers.net/content.php?article.109

Are you actually naming it dm_dockside then? :( caus that means I have to change the name for my map, as it was originally called dm_dockside about 2 weeks ago :/ edit: btw are there any servers with this map in rotation? I want to play it on a full server, care to upload it to the hl2.net...

Nice map. Should be fun playing it on a full server; just a few bugs to report that havent been mentioned: A few holes in the seabed from the displacemnt, http://www.bthornton.com/images/screens/dm_docksidebeta0003.jpg http://www.bthornton.com/images/screens/dm_docksidebeta0004.jpg hard...

I thought it was called dm_dockyard? downloading now to have a play.
