I would hope that people would *read* pages and see that a) it says "Half-Life" at the top, and b) they can see the "Half-Life 2" link! One thing I've learnt over the last few weeks working for my university website is that there are a lot of dumb (or lazy) people out there Anyway good idea about changing to HL2 as the default game.

/me is more tired, than lazy, but i did over look it, even when i was point roughly in the correct direction, so perhaps it wasn't completely bad that i noticed..

the little 1 inch square with the links on the far left is not one of those "reach out and grab'ya" things though..

maybe, i should rest before i look next time.

I wish everybody added screenshots to their maps. It makes so much of a difference.

Oh, here's a nice idea for the site - adding a special awards page for maps and prefabs (i.e - most original idea, best aesthetics, greatest gameplay, most useful fab).

I think it might be good to make a resources section of the site, up at the top bar with maps, editing, etc... At the moment, things like models, prefabs, textures and the like are quite hidden away, and it could be nice to make them more prominent with HL2 arriving soon.

I was looking through the tutorials section, and it struck me that quite a few of the old HL1 tutorials may still be valid for HL2 once it comes out. Is it worth classifying some of them under both categories? I suppose someone could look through and test them to see if they are still valid, and then add them to both categories. Might well save people a lot of effort in rewriting them.

Optionally, changes in the updates which are unique to HL2 can be marked separately within the tutorial itself.

None of them are perfectly valid (bar the "general" sound making etc. tutorials, which I will make viewable for all games soon).

I will also consider some kind of "user-voted" award system, which runs every now and then...

I just had a thought, when searching the editing forums think about adding a "Show Answered Threads Only" option. It would just show threads that have been answered or closed, locked, whatever with the topic keyword.

I suppose you could toss that with my enitre other post about the editing board a couple weeks back. [addsig]

Most of the tips will work for HL2 though won't they? Maybe someone could try them out and put them up if they work. [addsig]

Good review, although you could have elaborated on it a little more. Some thumbnails would be nice to have on that page too, even if they were the same ones from the maps profile.

Just for fun (you can flame me all you want if you dont like it) how about a timer until HL2 is released. Set to UK's time of coarse. No one else has done it yet. [addsig]
