Hey,
I started a single player project in my newbie days but never finished it. Wanting to get something high-quality finished, I re-started the project recently. Well, here's a few screenshots.
I am trying to do as much of this mod myself as I can, including mapping, models and coding. I may need some extra help towards the end, particularly with beta testing.
Myrk: I don't see anything there which contradicts HL2 but I'm ignoring HL2 for my own mods anyway. The ending of this will certainly contradict HL2 and I'm ignoring a fair bit of HL1 as well. I'm re-making the aliens, in particular zombies. Should be interesting to see if I can pull it off...

Map looks ok, anyway.
Very sharp textures, indeed.

Yeah, but I never paid attention when running around No_Patience...

didn't you use some shaderlabs in catalyst bud?
i didn't intend for anyone to re-look at N_P, i was just making noise about myself
Not much to give advice on, to be honest, accept to perhaps vary that floor texture a tad, since it makes an appearance in all three screenshots. Provided that isn't indicative of its frequency throughout the map though, I'm sure it wont be a problem.

i didn't use any meat pack i dont think, but than for sure.. some of our choices were similar if i recall
great minds really do think alike..

Glad to see people like it - tis very motivating
@Tracer Bullet - that was fresh off the compile but I loved that shot as it was 
. One of the grates is now swung off and is discarded on the floor, plus the lights are a little sharper. Seems to be much better now anyway. I don't want to change the area much more due to a puzzling puzzle (for half-life's puzzles anyway...) in that room.
@Orpheus. Damn fine screen. Personally I'd have put a trim around the edge of the grate, but it looks pretty dang good as-is.
@ReNo - teh w00tage. Mappers I really look up to are you, Campaign Junkie and KFS. Good to see I please . Anyways, I do like the texture and I've perhaps used it a bit too much but it's certainly not too frequent.
[addsig]TBH I have no idea. A couple of months maybe? I quit my student job a while back and I've been working on this for about 2 weeks, on and off, and have about 10% done I reckon, not including tweaking and the majority of the code.
Just dont expect this thing to be long ok? I'm definately aiming for quality over quantity. To put some perspective on it, SEThorian completed the first level in about 3 minutes, and I'm aiming for about 10 levels altogether.
[addsig]Naturally Jeff, as well as a randomly fire feature, especially while whacking a new clip in.
EDIT:: Nice One Jeff, just gave me an idea for one of the levels
This is a great looking map, you have definatly given a feeling for this map, all the textures fit in well with each other, nice work!
