Where IS the new editor

[ViTruS]

There are too few news sites for HL2, and I still haven't found the hammer edition for HL2 (okay.. there isn't a HL2 yet) But ur all talking like ur already using it.

Does anyone know a site with some easy tutorials about mapping for HL2? I've been mapping for counter-strike for ages. So I think its not gonna be THAT hard, but it's still a totally new engine. Where can I learn it

(ow and forgive me for my english, it's not to great I geuss)

there are no tutorials yet, unless people are guessing at how to fully use the new features. The new version of hammer probably won't be released untill the rest of the hl2 SDK is released. The time of that is still unknown, but promised to be before HL2 is released.

Oki... thanx..

Yep, you'd be hard pressed to find tutorials for an editor that no-one outside Valve has had access to. People who are talking like they've already used it probably read the technical FAQ at the Valve collective, old url = valve-erc.com

There's lots of useful info and I'm able to make educated guesses about what mapping for HL2 will be like, we already know that the engine is still BSP based etc. etc.

but WHY do you all make so many posts in the mapping forum than?? While noone has ever played a map for the game and noone ever build a map for the game????

I see hunderets of topics :S:S

because we've built it for HL? They said the mapeditor will be an evolution, not a revolution, even if it is a totally new engine.

Damn I wanted a revolution

Hundreds of topics? That's just becasue we're alll excited about Half-life2. You should check out the modelling & editing forums, where there are are 5 times as many posts as there are here.

Hell, you should check out the general discussion forum, there are about 60 times as many posts as there are here. You should see this forum start to explode as soon as the new hammer is released.

I don't have time for that :'(

Reading all that stuff (in english ) takes far too much time

I foresee a server downtime when the game is released. Too many users willl be online for the server to handle.

hehehe now that's what I call good shit!!!

It's really quite amazing how much excitiment there is for this game. It's still months away and the buzz on the forums keeps on growing...

 

[ViTruS]

Yeah well if you've seen the movies. Where it's possible to put table's in front of the doors. So the enemy can't enter. And than he starts shooting @ the window, and if you shoot radiators the water keeps flowing and stuff like that. That REALLY IS a revolution....

If it aint broke, dont fix it. Remember that Kids.

 

[derby]

It's no doubt that Half-life 2 will be a revolution in gaming, even if the first one wasn't 'broke'

 

[ViTruS]

Indeed, but the game remains something the same. Only the engine is a bit different. And thats the thing that's really gonna ROCK

(btw I don't like shooting aliens.. so if counter-strike2 is released )

 

[derby]

you're one of those namby pamby alien sympathisers, aren't you!

Good point.

You'd be hard pressed to find tutorials for an editor that no-one outside of Valve, Troika Games, and perhaps the Counterstirke Sven Co-op teams has access to.

hey its not months aways!, its like 1 month 15 days from when you wrote that! , KNOCK ON WOOD

and yes we are mad excited

and yeh i think/hope most gaming sites, fourms, irc channels, will bust at the seems/shutdown when this game launches, cus thats the stuff of legends baby

like the release of doom over the "internet" in its infancy caused complete havoc and then killed many company networks the following months... ;-)
