SDK Update
Tue Dec 21st 2004 at 1:07am by Leperous

An update has just been released for the SDK; along with speeding up the time it takes to load through Steam it should also fix cubemaps, so if your PC has been crashing when running "buildcubemaps" try it again after updating.

Note you may need to click the "reset game configurations" button on the SDK menu if you get "GameInfo.txt not found" error messages. We'll also update our tutorials on Hammer setup, etc.


PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
Thu Dec 9th 2004 at 4:09pm by The SnarkPit

WARNING: A map pack has been recently released and brought to our attention, simply because it's the first set of maps to be released for HL2, that contains unacceptable levels of crappiness and guideline-breaching amounts of killboxes. It can be identified by the moniker "HL2Files.com Map Pack" and should be avoided at all costs.

Side effects from downloading and installing this map pack may include physical discomfort, being brought to tears that such a beautiful game could be abused so badly, increase suicide desire, and death.

If you know someone who has been affected by this map pack, or themselves were involved in its production, please show them directions to map making tutorials post haste or disconnect their internet. Good places to start include the VERC Collective and Interlopers.net.

Thank you for your attention.


HL2 goodness

Strangely, I'm more excited this morning than when HL2 came out the other week, as there are 3 great pieces of news to mention.

First of all, HL2DM has been released, which comes with 2 maps and gravity gun goodness. And apparently it's awesome.

Also, the full SDK has been released, and it comes with HL2-compatible-Hammer and various modelling tools.

And combining the two, Valve are holding a map making competition with a top prize of $5000. Feel free to put up your entries-in-progress on this site
