I lost the one i was working on as well- ayumi's pressure hive, all sourced up.
Not that it matters; i suck at mapping anyway. Takes me 30 minutes to make a big empty room, and light it. <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
o.O It takes you that long to make 6 walls and a light? Someone needs practice :O

Ok, maybe that was an exageration. What i meant; was that im a complete newb at hammer.
I have no idea how to do anything in it, really. Sure, i can make a room, put some water and props in it, but none of the fancy stuff that i see other mappers doing.

To keep in line of offtopicness <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
None of us started out with this power to create hawt looking shizzle. Just keep trying things in Hammer and sometimes you go like "OI this way is much faster and better then what I used to do (exp +10)".
Practice makes "perfect" really goes here. you might want to get into hl2 mapping also while your at it since we are all moving towards it with ns2 incomming >insert waiting period here< (well perhaps the ns2tr...)
ontopicness: Anyways, sourcified is dead. but now we have the devs actually working on ns2 sourcified...

What about to restart the competition. Just for fun and practice until NS2TR come out <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
I have some bits of a NS2/source map, though I suffer from a strange affliction...
I can make a room or two, connect them up and make them look alright... But I can't do any more than that. The only map I've ever released was a really bad NS funmap that took 30 mintues to throw together.
I have real problems with finishing maps, no idea why. I suspect it might be an effort thing, I'll look at the map and suddenly realise that in order to make it look how i want, i need to spend ages on it. That'll scare me off and I'll go play NS instead.
But that's just me. NS maps in source, you say? I'm all for it! The Citadel showed that scifi environents work really well in source, so all we need now is for them to be built...
