SPLA Map

i can understand if ur busy...but sleep, come on thats a big waste of time here :razz:

no rush bro, ill just sit here and wait twiddles finger

GL on ur essays, man i hated that shiet

Well by the sounds of it this map is taking far too long... If you guys who were doing could have been bothered with it then I'd be suprised if it took more than a week to complete!

Finish it already! If this map ain't imense then I'm gunna be dissapointed.... :sad:

If by "immense" you mean large then that shouldn't be a problem.

However you might be interested in SnarkpitCrew Map 1. I hear it might get a final release this year!

Most of us are in school myrk. I for one am not going to sacrifice any time from my real life for this map.

Priorities:

Cadets: (including my position assignement, flying, class lesson plans, evals, shooting, drill, uniform, and standard and events)

School: English essays, movie review, Frankenstein (yuk... lol), Construction, Canadian law, careers (yes I am taking that class again :biggrin: ) many other things

Mapping: First priority is my competition map (needs lights, a first compile, then some tests) second is the SPLA map, and finaly, my school map and Dark Complex 2

i got no problems with waiting bro, but i think its only fair to make sure there isnt anyone else who could be working on the map at the given time while ur busy, has everyone put there sections?

ohwell, just a thought...gl with ur studies WC

Do any of you mind if I use my secton of the SPLA map as the center piece for a small DM map of my own?

i got no prob with that, you made it. do what u wish with it :smile:

I never sacrificed my schooling when I was at school and mapped. I'm at uni now and I still find time now and then even with my huge amount of work (I get more than people at school get) and my busy social life.

thnx for the update almighty myrk...lol

so were a bit slow, we dont mind, why should you?

hehe, glad to see your doin better though myrk.

HELLO WC...you alive over there? give us an update bro, im getting a little anxious here.

Different people have different priorities and commitments. You may have a "busy social life" and a "huge amount of work", but do you (say) help to organise a major caving expedition? Are you a stressed finalist? Are you a reluctant insomniac?

Is your mother severely disabled? Do you have to take responsibilty for helping her to recover physically, for subtley and painstakingly inculcating in her a positive frame of mind, and for guiding the attitudes and actions of both your parents in the hope that they might recover some kind of life?

I bet you don't.

Those are just some examples from my life; I'm sure WC and TB have their own commitments and priorities, and their own problems to deal with. Everyone's circumstances are different; just because you have the time to map doesn't mean others do.

Mapping is only a very minor part of most people's lives. They shouldn't have to give excuses when they don't have time for it. Besides, some of the "excuses" might be too personal to discuss on a web forum.

when mapping moves out of the "hobby" categorie, you might as well quit.

not if this happens in the holiday peroid...nothing like mapping for 6 hours a day for 2 weeks straight...then you get a anti-mapping complex that drives you off mapping untill the next holiday peroid.

its the only way to stay sane :biggrin:

OMG...gollum to the rescue...lmao, thnx for the defence bro...i couldnt of said it better myself, wait yah i can

myrk...stfu, and suck a nut....AH HAHAHA j/k

well, WC...gl on ur work, gollum...gl with your mother.

I hope you didnt mean it the same way I think you did

Yea good 'ol Card is still alive and kicking. I managed to finish most of my school work 'cept for reading that damn Frankeistein book. As for cadets, I'm buisy planning a weekend survival excercise and picking up the slack from my 2 comrades. lol

As well, I havent given up on mapping. Never!, lol. Just because I havent been doing anything important on the SPLA map (I added in 23 brushes since the last 2 days :biggrin: ) I have been working on my CS competition map.

I also watched a movie. And had a shooting competition which took up my weekend. And then theres the sleep, the suppers, the showers, the girls :biggrin: well, not so often now, too buisy.

/Goes back to work

cue twilight zone music

never saw this word before, but i can guess its meaning, the coincidence, i just read it a few minutes ago in a star trek book.. MC coy asking Spock if Vulcan's had a Oedipus myth when Spock mentioned he had dreamed about his mom that night.

So Orph, do you think I could send the first snarpitcrew map to you so you can finish it up? :biggrin:

runs

Well, it would be about time too...

w00t I just added 5 more brushes and textured everything I have so far... still no lights though :biggrin:

By the way Lep, I love that new flamming snark, nice touch

If you have all these responsibilities then how do you find time to make your own maps? Why sacrifice the work of others being delayed.

If you can't make a contribution on time then why make it? I mean your contribution will be good, naturally, but I just think this map has dragged out way too long, HL is dead now!

Well Myrk, as you aren't part of the project, I believe I speak for everyone involved when I say this:

f**k off.

? posted by Myrk-

HL is dead now!

boy i sure hope we didnt kill it, that would just plain suck.

well anyways myrk, i myself really dont care if anyone sees, or plays this map ever, im mearly here for the learnning experience that comes with mapping with others, you get to see different styles(which maybe better then ur current one) and alot of other stuff to learn, like how to use that "light" entity...anyone figure that one out yet? you know we cant go on with this map until we figure that out guys.
(sarcasim included)

MUAHAHA

Dunno, I must be some kind of genius :biggrin: Or maybe it has something to do with spreading my work over 4-5 years.

As a matter of fact, I'm not contributing to the SPLA map, for two reasons: I don't want any commitment to mapping at the moment, and I like to map solo. Be that as it may, I wish them the best of luck!

Myrk, HL is dead if you make it. If you're so willing to just lump five years of modding into the 'WELL ITS DEAD NOW LOLOLOLOL' category, that's beautiful - go play whatever the hell game you believe is a substitute, and leave us alone.

Everyone, please remain calm. The thread is now on fire, but if we move to the exits in a peaceful manner, we will easily get out with our lives. It's important at this time that we don't panic.

You there! No pushing!

*In the midst of everyone fighting, I slowly walk up to horn and pants him :biggrin: *

Ok guys, my busy schedule seems to have come to an end, the March break starts w00t. No more school after Friday, which means I have a full week plucked full of 24hr days devoted to mapping. Most of which will be the SPLA map, then alert when I get tired.

I always seem to map at the times I shouldn't, and when I have time to map I don't. Although that's not always true, it's fairly often. I hate getting ideas in school for stuff to add to my map and having to sit for hours waiting.

Been gone for a bit now. Wanted to know what i missed. And how the progress is comming along. Thanks guys :wink:

BTW, HL is quite alive atm.

thnx for the update WC...gl on ur section.

horn, that was absolutely priceless...LMAO

CJ, well not much has happenned as we been waiting on WC to get his section finished, so no map specific updates as of now, but hopefully with WC working 24/7 he'll get his shiet done quick :biggrin: YAY.

workin' on it lol. Hell, I'll even compile and run the map for ya too, at no extra charge! :biggrin:

That is... once I get my comp upgraded (once the goons decide what I should get, lol) I will be able to compile that behimoth no problem.

WOOT new sys...gotta break that shiet in :biggrin:

all in favor of nominating WC as compiler man, say i

I

gl with ur new sys, please dont go prebuilt :wink:

Hell naw, half the fun of computers is building the damn thing. And with me, that averages about once every week just for the fun of it.

Is this map doing anything? Won't be long until you have 1000 posts in this thread.

T'will be free beers on me :biggrin:

it wouldn't be as bad without the 'NO FOOKING OUTSIDERS SEE THE MAP' policy

Hey Mr. Fishy! (lol) I dont think we ever settled on a privacy policy for our work. (hint hint guys perhaps we should work on that).

For the record, I just added in about 50 or so brushes to my part. My original idea was kinda scraped, lol, because the map was becomming to linear. My section (in case I never mentioned it) connects with someones section that has some outdoor area, not yours horn. Its the one pluck full of null texturing. My section will also connect with 2 of MS's entrances to his section, via the rusty door and the gate on the left side wall. Finally, the last connection will be via the control room stairs, from TB. I dont plan on adding other connections yet though.

I havent textured my part yet, I usually build the whole thing, texture it, then add the lighting last.

WC thats my area :smile:

I knew that, just wanted to make sure you remembered :biggrin:

errr... no.

I hate that doorway you made under the lights, lol, its not on the 16unit grid :rolleyes:

Gah, I noticed that too. I hate it when people deviate ther major archatecture from the 16 unit grid

if we want to show other people, I could post the link to our updates page...

we would all have to be in agreement (or the majority of us) to show our work. Personally, I dont really mind, it gives the uninitiated a reason to wait for our map. map files however (.MAP ; .RMF ; .WAD), would remain the proprety of the PitCrew2.

Hadn't thought of that. just screens then. However, it may be best if we wait untell all of the sections have been added so that people can make comments as we are prepareing for our first revision.

just out of curiosity :rolleyes: , is the SPLA map only made by certain people, or can anybody [with-in reason] make a bit for it?

Is it just me or does he sound interested?

I'm just saying HL just ain't the game it used to be, in fact online gaming just seems to have changed completely... it just seems to be filled with bastards with no respect for others and a continually changing scene of games.

If I had heard about this map before it was started I would have helped too, I can easily make time for stuff like this quite easily...

The online community is filled with amateurs who constantly use cheats and cracks and whatnot to make themselves look good. Multiplayer isnt what it used to be.

Ah well, times change, lol.

Hence the rolling eyes.... :rolleyes:

well I have the map currently, and being the lazzy bastard that I am, I've had it for I think something like a month now? Anyways, I should be done (sort of) my Friday. Then, I'll be uploading some screens you can see what it looks like. But first off, we'll talk to the other mappers and see how they want it.

By the way, I will have the map ready for the next mapper on Friday. My part will be completed, architecturally. I wont really texture it. Im really bad with textures, lol.

till you decide if you will make your beta public, point the original pitcrew .bsp toward sloth..
