Ok, quick poll here, guys and girls:
Once Half-Life 2 has been released, and eventually the SDK, will you learn to use the full extent of the Source engine through Hammer? I know I will. I've never done too much map making in WorldCraft for the original Half-Life, but I did make a badly-textured, but fairly well-designed mansion with zombies and weapons and armour in the closets. You basicly had to make it to the top, and it was a sort of maze.

But now I've gone off on a tangent. I can't wait to use the Source engine in Hammer editor. If you think about it, the possibilities are endless. So, basicly, the question is: Will you take the time to mod/map-make HL2?
 
Heck yes I will! :D Well, assuming Hammer has been made at least a little better... UnrealED is so much (like 23452345 times) better as it is right now...
 
definitely, i've got some stuff i wanted to do with the old HL engine, but that would never work on it b/c the environment would have to be too big, can't wait to get my hands on Source, if only I knew how to texture and make prefabs and the like
 
I'd like to build a house that is COMPLETELY destructable. I.e. Tables break like wood, pots break, windows break, walls can be chipped (never entirely broken)....

Or build a boat house in a lake!
 
I dont even know how to use worldcraft
 
You can learn how pretty easily.

Making good maps takes a little practice though. :)
 
Yeah. I learned that at my pathetic excuse for my garage. A box with a picture of a car from different angles on different sides represented my mom's car. Sad. Very sad. I was too pathetic to learn to model. Lol.
 
so far most people say they'll pioneer Hammer. They better hurry, so the other 14 people can download their mods!
 
Well, since there's no HL2 MP component... it looks like I'll be messing around with the SDK and/or Hammer much sooner than I originally planned.
 
this editing/mapping sounds interesting. Anybody have links to where i can download this program and maybe a tutorial? :)
 
well i was planning to make some cool physics contraptions and then me and a friend play on it and fool around on a server together like we have in the leak.

but doesnt look like thats going to be a reality for a while. and its not as fun bymyself
