Screens 1 and 3 are awesome
How was the fan effect created?
Btw i would have to say i wouldnt worry about software mode it runs like crap on my pc
3 ghz proccesor 765 megs of ram Obviously software mode is for very very low res i belive the best you could go is 640 x 480 and get reasonable fps for most of the time

I've worked out a variant of Toxicity set in a metal foundry. This variant is named Slagheap.
Let me know what you think.

God dammit son.
421k for a screenshot? Where you been since you've known me?

Change the graphics to direct3D or openGL.(which is the best) Software can only render 800 wpolies.
Here is a little trick: In the texture aplication choose a face and press alt+right mouse click. The texture's attributes are copied and aglined to the other face.
Try doing it with the lower trims(first pic) and the vertical faces on their sides.

Screen1
Screen 2
Screen 3
Running in Software mode.
For some reason -- probably too much crap visible -- it spams me with the message "SHORT X SURFACES" or "SHORT ROUGHLY Y EDGES"
I may not even release this map unless I can optimize the hell out of it

I also have Hl1. If you like I can beta test it for you! Just send me an Email with the map attached. If it's too big tell me and I'll log onto MSN.

Victor, I built almost all of my HL1 maps on a K62 400 with about 384 megs of ram.
Anything built properly, will run on a K62 400.
You might wanna post some screens with the R_Speeds turned on so we can ascertain just how badly you need to optimize this thing if you have anything at all disappearing.
Walls will ONLY disappear in software mode after about 1000 if I recall. Since you should only be mapping at 800, you have a nice 200 cushion to your map.
Post those screens.

Thanks for the comments. As for architecture... faces are starting to disappear because there's so much s**t in the map :O Maybe it's bad construction or something..
That computer of yours would be perfect for it. I'm afraid the map would be IMPOSSIBLE to run in Software mode though -- half the halls disappear.
Send me a PM if you want the download link

Although this is offtopic halflife is not a dead horse
Take a look at how many people play counterstrike,NS,TS
the community is still very much alive
Personally i belive that if your a good mapper you can make good looking maps in hl1. If you have to use hl2 to make your maps good your obviously not that great a mapper
Back on topic
The boiler type thing is very nice but the rooms need a tad bit more detail and some of the texturing could be a bit better.
btw i have another pc that i could test it on 500mhz p2 baby and a mx400 video card

The ironic thing is...
