Thought I'd give you guys a shout about it since someone here might be interested. Linky here : http://www.specialistsmod.net/

nah, the last one was just me messing around by myself. This one is Official and whatnot, news of it should be appearing on the main HL news sites soonish. Worth an entry, especially if you're more of a Team Mapping type.

I had a texture pack in the works with nowhere to go, this sounds perfect.

@Schmung - heh, noticed you were dropping some heavy hints about TM, will maybe clean up an old FLF map and see how it converts to TM.

@Cassius - always interested in new tex packs, whats the theme and any DL available ?

ttfn

My textures have been used almost exclusively for private projects, these included.

The theme is semi-Afghanistanish (a remake of my old up_afghan pack actually), a theme I've always loved because I put a very freaky but realistic spin on it.

do me a favor cass, if another map rolls thru here that uses your textures, please tell me before i comment on the ugly texture on Blah,Blah floor again

i felt kinda weird saying your texture looked like s**t, when in fact it was only used incorrectly

seriously tho.. i would like to give credit to where it belongs.. since your chosen contribution to snarkpit (other than your sharp wit) is your textures, i think it past due for you to receive a critique all your own, based on them... or rather on their application..

texture creation is the unsung hero's around here

The last time you said that, it was about a VERY quick texture I had done, and I fully agreed... although surprisingly, that texture has been stolen for a DoD 1.1... I'm kind of honored

never the less, i was a bit embarrassed, out of a whole map, and with dozens of textures, i just happen by chance to pick one of yours.. completely by chance...

what are the odds i wonder??

Alas models are a bit f**ked in TS at present, the code is somewhat buggy sometimes, so you might want to use env_sprite or something instead. At least for now..

Well, everyone is welcome. It's posted on PHL now, so it migh get a bit more interest. I'm really hoping for some quality TM maps to be honest, hence all my not so subtle hints over in the Official Forums that BeerHunter noticed.

I'm kinda tempted to bring across my upcoming FLF maps as i'm a little unsure of the future of FLF at the moment.

Small player base and it's next release will be released a little too close to HL2 - which would mean no-one would play my maps at all really. However - if I were to release them for TS which currently has a much larger player base - they might get played more than once

I'm still trying to decide whether or not to quit the FLF team at the moment - but TS is very tempting

Judging from the e-mails and such I've been getting there are going to be a lot of 'stealth' entrants. People who don't post anything in the forums and then just send me a finished map to download.

Anyways good luck to all who enter, feel free to PM or e-mail me if you require any clarification or info on the foibles of TS.
