I'm not into the whole uber-realism thing, but they did do a very nice job on this mod. Props for the high-quality work.

It's spelled "losing," not "loosing." :dork:

Not too many graphic artists on this forum, are there?

Call it whatever you want, I'm interested in making high-quality single maps to release to the community. I'm sure you will agree that it takes much less time to create a single map for an existing game than it does to create a whole new gameplay experience, which is more what I consider to be...

Mapping, art direction, distribution and quality control. Amongst other things.

I posted a thread about this a while back, but it didn't pan out at the time. Personally, I don't have the time to devote to working on a full mod, so I've tried doing single map projects by myself. Unfortunately, I don't have the experience with modelling/skinning, voice acting, texture...

Forgive my ignorance, but what do you do when you are stuck in jail? Just stand around waiting for someone else to bust you out? That sounds pretty boring to me.

I don't know- if you look at the stairs in the third screen and compare them to the ones in the last screen, they appear very much the same, as do some other elements of each map. Perhaps they did use the same reference photos, but I don't think it would be impractical to take a releatively...

Hope this hasn't been posted. I was playing through Half-Life 2 the other day and noticed a particular area that seemed to really remind me of a spot from Episode One. So I loaded up EP1 and found the spot and realized that Valve had most likely taken part of an HL2 map and made some changes...

Just so you are aware, Blackfield is not by Porcupine Tree. It is a separate band that started as a collaboration between PT frontman Steven Wilson and Israeli singer/songwriter Aviv Geffen. Anyway, their new album is coming out soon can't wait. BTW, here's my current list Porcupine...

"Stupider" isn't a word. ;)

I've been really surprised by the lack of normal maps in user-made maps/mods. They are not that difficult to make and the payoff is exponential. This map looks all right the way it is, but it would look great if there was depth to the textures, along with specular reflections to give the...

That's precisely what Episode is meant to be. So yeah, you missed the point.

If Valve do decide to release another full Half-Life game, it will probably be in 3-4 years anyway, and you'll have three episodes to play in between. It will probably be released sooner because there will be fewer technical issues to iron out because they were all ironed out through the episodes.

Her response was sarcastic, not literal. And her father was originally Captain Vance, not Odessa.
