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


Physics example map
Thu Nov 11th 2004 at 9:11pm by Leperous

I have created a small physics test map for use in Counter-Strike: Source. It contains a see-saw, falling barrels, dominoes and a breakable computer, and is made to complement the Source physics tutorial. I will also put up some beginners tutorials next week when the full game comes out- there are a few too many bugs and un-implemented features right now to be able to write one safely!

Download it from here. (116kb)

Update: I am an idiot and put the wrong VMF inside! Download it again and there will be a map you can edit showing all these features inside.
