My First HL Map...

I'm having a pain learning UnrealEd on 56k (hard to browse tutorials etc), so I thought I might take a few days and make a hldm version of my first map, Hypersanctum (hyperreal sanctuary..?). I'm not going to massively revamp it or anything, just change a few textures and give it hldm guns/items.

I thought you guys might get a kick out of seeing it, though. It's funny, I took a long time on this map... so in some ways it's really advanced for a first map, but in others it's pretty newbie-ish & confused (especially the 'theme' lol).







The main reason it is underground is that, after 6 months of mapping, I still hadn't figured out how the SKY texture worked

here is the AHL version. it should run okay in HLDM, if you want a look. I'll post the hldm one in a couple days.

oh, and there are a ton of other pics here:

meh? oh, and I think I'll name this version just "hldm_sanctuary" lol

So it's a UT map changed into HLDM? Or a UT map you made and made an HL version from scratch?

It looks to be an Action Half-Life map that he is now converting to HLDM.

try as i may (and anyone that knows me knows im tenacious) i cannot changeover some maps, even with complete entity redos....../// hides in shame....preps again for harry carey..... :heee:

im feeling a bit ornery today.... :biggrin:

Doc B... :dodgy:

what gollum said. it's my first completed map, and it was for Action HL. for some reason I never got around to doing a hldm version, but I figured why not.

funny that you thought it was Unreal, I've had a lot of people say that. I think it's the surreal lighting and textures. guess I'm moving on to the right game engine, though, aren't I? :biggrin:

I dunno, is it even worth the bother? doesn't anyone care about HL maps any more? only HL Atlas does reviews anymore. Hot Death Diner quit and GA is still down.

Why does that screenshot say "Worldcraft" and not "Hammer"?

Cause that's what it used to be called. Go back far enough and it used to be called Forge. :smile:

Yeah, it was only renamed "Hammer" recently. Valve changed it for no particular reason, like most of the things they do or don't do. They seems to be getting dumber and dumberer with age :rolleyes: Maybe Gabe should lay off the bacon.

Hey hey hey, lay off the bacon! What did it ever do to you? Unless you happen to be a 'large' person such as Mr. Newall.

hm, I finished the weapon spawns but for some reason i am apathetic. probably because this map is old and it sucks :razz: I guess it was learning UnrealEd that made me think of it. It's kinda like I'm back at the beginning, relearning everything. sigh

sorry, the gabe comment was tasteless. unlike gabe, who tastes like yummy bacon. oh, I'm so going to hell for that one.

They changed it because they were allways getting emails asking for help with TEH HAMMER!?~~. Look at the icon for worldcraft and it looks sort of like a hammer so all the n00bs thought it was actually called hammer.

CUBS WIN!!! CUBS WIN!!!

Um... no, I meant "How old was this screenshot", not "Was the program previously called Worldcraft".

Hmmm, Alien Sniper....One who snipe aliens, or a alien who snipes?

Am I supposed to say something like "lol" or "ROFL" now? :rolleyes:

Is it the fool that doesn't understand the joke, or the joke that doesn't understand the fool?
