Microsoft section on HL2 modding! On the MS site.

Just found this, hehe, never knew Microsoft would be interested in HL2 modding. Also go down and see the different sites they link to.

Not really comfortable with Snarkpit being billed below Interlopers but at least we're there.

I noticed however that it appears that we are the oldest site mentioned.

Dystopia? Why not a Sven-Coop link? They've been working on SC2 for ages, ya'll know.

Breaking the laws of mapping since 2003 and doing a damn fine job at it

The only curiosity IMO is.. Why did they overlook PHL? Of course we all know its a crappy site, but I hardly doubt they do since the Snark is unknown to them.

:heee:

Never been there myself though, so I honestly can't say.

I'm not proud of it but I visit the PHL regularly. They're still the biggest HL(2) site.

This site used to be hosted as part of Planet HalfLife... crazy!

Took me a while but I ascertained when the image was taken.

This member joined that day. (or near the day since he is listed as "Welcome to our newest member..")

To their credit, they do have a bigger collection of HL2 tutorials and more active members.
That said, I too would prefer if we got top billing :smile:

I think we are lucky to get listed to be honest, given that there are only a few sites up there. No point kidding ourselves that we are the "premier" HL2 editing site as that simply isn't the case. We might have been able to claim that about the HL1 scene in our prime, but these days our mapping community is pretty much docile.

Time to pimp the pit.

1. Where's Lep, and when will he fix the firefox bug ? This doesn't really 'welcome' any new members.
2. In my humble opinion, we need a fresh site layout, and a much clearer distinction between HL1 and HL2 tutorials.

we need a fresh site layout

white theme ftw.

Pfft...Older than old.

White theme sucks. The black and green really is the best layout I've seen, it's very easy on the eyes. Maybe vamp it up but keep the black background.

EDIT: Just checked out the link... why isn't the VALVe Wiki on there? You'ld think that would be kinda obligatory...

VDC and the HL2 Wiki are intertwined, or such is my knowledge.

Anyway, seniority, for the win!

If a revamp of the pit is in order, I commend a clearer distinction
between hl1 and hl2 tutorials and maps, bystandards might think this
place is TWHL.

Also change the texture of the dock. Docks are rarely tile. -Facepunch

It's sad when you see the Snark, so prevailent in HL1, being misunderstood, simply because valve choose to leave no reference to it in HL2. Hopefully, we could see some kind of return in Ep2, out in the wilderness somewhere.

You know, I've actually got nothing to say

They merged so many HL1 enemies in second-rate HL2 hybrids. Antlions are mixtures out of snarks, the tentacle thingies (the things can hear you!) and a couple of other xen creatures. Just not as cool as any of them :sad:

Phft, Lamaar should have been a snark :razz:

In the opening scene in HL2 where she b0rks up the teleport, I would have much rather seen a snark running across that vast sandy beach than a headcrab!

As far as the white color scheme goes: Wasn't that the old snarkpit theme?

To be honest, I don't think it's The Snarkpit that has caused a... "dwindle" I suppose, but because the HL2 engine is hard to deal with. Many people would much rather work with an old, easy to use engine, then a high powered one where it takes half an hour to get a brand new texture in the game! :razz:
(at least, that's how long it takes me)

Also, none of the hugely popular HL1 mods have made the port to HL2 -- as far as I know, that is. I feel that HL2 mapping will kick up quite a bit when The Specialists, Sven-Coop, Half-Life Rally, and Natural Selection make the port.

At least we've got Black Mesa Source.

High-definition snarks. The logo may have to change :razz:

Read anywhere on the Specialist forums to see the comedy in this

Why Do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties

So true.
