phys_TIMsource

Hi,

My first post here so hello everyone. I've been getting stuck in to
hammer for the last fews days and i've been playing around with physics
and triggers trying to make something interesting. Anyway, here's what
i've
come up with so far. I'm going to be polishing it off before making my
first proper dm map. :smile:

Oh yeah, the ball sometimes falls off so you might have to put it back
on the contraption so it can continue. Also it mostly won't get
completely round but i'm working on it! :biggrin:

Yello Mint Sauce, I saw your post over on HL2World, I also get around a bit:P

Wait, I just played someone on CSS called mintsauce... ND clan?

Anyway, I have nothing to say about the map. Nice experiment.

Can anyone say mouse trap! I loved that game lol.

Heheh looks awesome, would sure be fun to fart around with

Heh, I do play CS but I haven't played it for ages, at least a week
anyway :smile: I've updated the map, it finally gets around the whole thing
at least 80% of the time unaided :razz: Also had a play with lighting and
added sounds. I even tried to get seagulls to act half naturally
(failed a bit on that one but still looks ok). Anyway, check it out! :razz:

Why do you make stuff like that... I am honeestly not even going to download this.... why?

-Because there is a complete lack of quality (layout,lighting and brushwork) Its a box with static meshes that you can throw around......

Come on CJ its just a bit of fun with the engine!

Oh God, they're migrating. Blows Brains Out

I think this is acceptable because it's not really meant to be a multiplayer map, just a test of the physics engine. It's like if we berated Lep for releasing his test map.

I was wondering when a what-do-you-call-it (really complex machine thing, named after an inventor) kind of map would come out.

Ok, so i'm learning hammer but i'm not just releasing a few rooms with
bad lighting. I was trying to make something genuinily interesting and
different. Without experimenting you'll never make anything fresh or
new in your levels. When I get around to making my first dm map I
reckon what i've learn't from this will make my map better. And if you
haven't even downloaded the map then slating it is just plain rude :sad:

/me wonders back to hlworld.com

its not smart to post testing maps, then i would need to post around hundreds of em.

My apologies for being so harsh, it was quite rude. I guess it was all those worthless maps the kept posting up on PHL and saying these were awesome mapbacks.. when all they were, were killbox maps. My apologies truly. And this does look a little interesting, when i first looked at it I thought it was something totally different but now i understand what it is. And its actually pretty funny, good idea.

The level was initially just a fun physics map but as the people joined
my server and I got good feedback I decided to just make it more
polished. So that's why I posted it up as a test map, I just thought
people might be interested in having a look.

No probs Crackerjack, I know it must be frustrating when you get 1000's
of n00bs all asking the same questions and releasing the same
fullbright rooms :razz: I've joined a few servers myself with pointless
maps on and it gets boring fast :biggrin: I'll try to keep my n00bness down :smile:

Now renamed to ph_machine, many updates although the machine itself is
still pretty much the same. Learn't a lot! Map now has better lighting
and nicer scenery plus some other bits I learn't from here and
hl2world. :smile:

Hope you enjoy! I'll start my second map soon, probably a dm map :biggrin:

Ok, both ph maps can be downloaded from www.henleyb.com, please try to ignore the sites lameness :smile:

Cool, I liked this machine and i'm glad you made it better but make more different ones :smile:

Very cool! now you need to make a MP map with cannons and stuff! that would be neat.

Like the guy said, reminds me of malble run!

Like the guy said, reminds me of malble run!

Valve have changed something since I released this map, you will need to enable the console and type:

sv_cheats 1
impulse 101

to get the suit and grav gun which are required to pick up the ball in the first place.
