So grease, how did you learn to map? I can't even use the bloody clipping tool. Trying to make a door simply bewildered me. Even with the video tutorial and the interlopers tutorials.

I can get basic stuff, like making blocks (WOO ) and texturing them, duplicating, spawning entities and such... but I don't understand the stuff that allows someone to make a good map.

Suggestions, anyone? Should I just screw around with it for a while?

Edit:

Also, is there a way to render the map to show as it would look in game? The fullbright is annoying, I'm working on a dark room (I haven't put any lights in yet) and want to know how it would look.

OIFY triumph?
You do know that Computer Hardware and Software is the new main page forum, right?

Firstly, this thread was made as soon as the poll was closed. Secondly, the OIFY did win by vote count, but I guess garry thought that the OIFY members were using alts to vote. I can garuntee that music and computers did the same, but I guess the mods just didn't like the idea.

This is just like the elections when Bush became president, except there was probably cheating on both sides in this case. :patriot:

I had the same issues as you when I started. It takes some screwing around and reading tutorials. It took me forever to learn how to use the clipping tool and vertex manipulator together to make a well optimized doorway. HalfWit-2 is where I learned how to do all of this. Also, adding any kind of lighting entity in your map will automatically get rid of fullbright. Took me a while for me to figure that out too. ;)

Hammer is very easy to use once you know what the tools do, but it is extremely hard to make something good with it.

Got my little part done. Zip'd is the VMF and .BSP.

Hmm, this is looking nice, you guys should get a SVN for this instead of uploading stuff randomly to filefront though, If there's anything I can help with, just poke me, I have a own SVN server, and got some mapping experience aswell as texture compiling

[Grea$eMonkey]

Hooray I'm unbanned! The map is coming along too. I may not be able to put it together while I'm on my trip, but I can try.
Also, I don't feel like using an SVN. They are nice, but too unstable. I've had my fair share of fucked up SVN databases which ruin entire projects just because I decide to remove something. It's not worth the hassle. I've got things under control. If lots of people want to be doing this at the same time and it is coming at me too fast then I may consider it. ;)

Don't worry. I'm not going to die... yet.

Make sure when you make your section that it may represent some section of the OIFY(whether it be literal or metaphorical).

Like the flame room... Get it? Flame? :laugh:

[Pelf]

What are some of the parts of the oify.

[Grea$eMonkey]

Read the OP. :D
I have a list of suggestions and a link to the OIFY itself. :)

Edit:

Here are some examples from the OP:
[list]A furry room.
Yes a furry room. The whole deal. From gay furry porn to lesbian sex scenes. I am not trying to set you up with a one-way ticket to hell. This stuff is all over the OIFY whether you wish to accept it or not.[/list][list]Meatspin room!
Everyone in the OIFY tries to set each other up with a fake link which goes to meatspin. Since it's a trick, lets make it where you get put into the OIFY room by falling for a trap! Like, "Press this button to win!" and you get teleported to a maze of meatspin![/list][list]Porn room.
You knew it was coming. ;)[/list][list]Rick Roll'd.
This is a common internet fad which has developed into a trick in the OIFY, so lets make a room dedicated to that as well! Just like the meatspin trap, lets do the same with this. Ever been to that rick roll'd site where you follow all of those pop-ups? Maybe make a section of the map like that. It may involve custom textures, but I could do that.[/list][list]Post some ideas! Those were just off the top of my head. Anything you remember being prominent in the OIFY. If you want some inspiration, go to the OIFY and browse a bit. Maybe you'll find something.

Here is the OIFY for anyone who is curious. Just be carefull. It is not for the fainthearted.[/list]
Also, when this is beta released, does someone want to zip the textures in with this map for me? I can't get bspzip to work and all of those substitutes either don't work for me or aren't updated to ep2.
I can give you the textures and you can zip them in for me. That will appear on the credits list.
I also would appreciate a server to host it. I have a few friends who may be able to but I'm not sure.

[TehG3A3]

Bomp.

I can pack the textures easily in for you, just send them to me.

[Grea$eMonkey]

I'm back on my computer so I can start putting things together again. I just got back from my trip so I am a little out of it. A little dazed. :tizzy:

[CubeManMR]

Make it so you walk into a room that has white textures all around. When they walk in the door closes and Rick roll shows up on every texture in the room. Sound of Rick roll goes on as well.

I haven't learned how to add custom sounds yet. :o

[Zeos]

You should mess with faceposer so the Rick Roll room has a NPC dancing.

[Grea$eMonkey]

I've added the water room. I had to replace some textures but everything looks fine. I'm sprucing up the TV room too. :D

Edit:

I'm running the latest version of the map now! Maybe I'll have time to post some pics but I'm not sure. It's late so I have to get to bed soon. I'm not sure how much time I'll have tomorrow so I don't know what's going to happen.

Also, to those who are making sections:

Please oh please oh please, check your section for leaks!

I cannot stress this point enough! I have to go through hours of work fixing your sections because they are riddled with leaks and problems. It would make things so much easier. Every section I've been given has had many leaks. They are all fixed now, but for those who haven't given me a section yet, please check your map for leaks!

Yes they are your sections, not mine. I have loaded the point files and they are in your sections.

Just wanted to make that clear. :D

[StickyNade]

You...

You really posted a link... to the OIFY?

My god, man. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

Now it's gonna get more lame.

grea$emonkey posted:

You just have to put them in your sounds folder. If that doesn't work try making a folder named Oify or Custom or whatever and put the sounds in there. If that still doesn't I don't know what to do and you should just look for a tutorial.

Strictly for inspirational purposes. Besides, anyone who doesn't know anything at all about the OIFY(as in really new '08ers) will be chased out of there due to being meatspinned and rickroll'd into the fiery depths of hell itself!
Which reminds me, I'm thinking someone should make a avatar museum in which it includes all of the greatest pinknipples of all time. I'm talking about Woutsie and Greeman and such. :D

Edit:

I'll try and get some new pictures up soon.

[Stickmna]

Not sure if it is too late but here is a suggestion: have a room that shakes really fast up and down when the player walks in it so they are constantly thrown up and down banging on the roof and the floor losing 10hp untill they die. That would be very funny.

[Grea$eMonkey]

Who else wants to make a room?

I have 22 slots on the credits list. There are now 18. I can always expand it but for now I have 18 slots to fill. You can of course be on the list for contributing in other ways. Like making some textures or something.

Here it is.



As you can see, it is a picture of the thread list that I took a while ago. I have been waiting to get some names to put on it. :D

...Eh? I really don't get what the oify is supposed to be.

[Foda]

I don't want to, but I'm making myself do it.








I'll make the furry room. It must be done.

[Pelf]

Reserve a slot for me! I'm having trouble with the warranty on my computer so it might be a little bit longer until I can get to work on my section. I'll get to work on it as soon as I can.

Whoops, I thought it was going to edit.

Also, once again, please, please, please save a slot for me. If I can't make it I'll let you know.

Agreed.

If you can make the textures for it, then you'll want to see this. ;)

Scroll down and your eyes will bleed... And you may get an erection as well. :q:

I will. No worries. Not a lot of people are making rooms so there will probably be room for you. :)

Here is the new credits list. Slightly tweaked.

So are you going to use your own textures, or do you want me to make them?

And I won't mind making the furry textures...the non gay one's at least :q:

I listed credits in the order that people helped. Haxxer made the dino texture and my "Welcome to the OIFY" texture before you provided those other ones. I'm sorry but he was there first. I remembered last night and had to redo that.
I can't wait for more contributors so the list can fill up. :D

Also, the gay furry porn is needed. Do you want me to make the gay ones?

[ShmueTehBean]

Hi guys, banned again. I don't even have the slightest idea about what I did this time. :crying:
So should I make the guy furry textures for whomever is doing the furry room?

[Foda]

I can make textures, 1/2 way done making them.

Edit: I guess you used red font or something.

SHIZAM!

[ShmueTehBean]

I asked in the refuge camp. It turns out that I used the unicode smartness bypass. Apparently using unicode characters is worthy of a ban. I explained my situation to the mods and hopefully I'll be unbanned soon.

Also, does the map include gay furry porn? It needs that. Otherwise it wouldn't be the OIFY. :D

Edit:

A note to all mappers:
As I've seen the rooms get added, I am going to guarantee you all that I will make many changes to your map. There are many leaks and textures that should be changed. Some geometry is making things take a while so I need to change it. I am trying to get the structure to be good so the compiler doesn't freak out.

Foda, you never added a info_usableladder entity in front of the brush ladder in your water map. I tried to make one but mine doesn't work. I'm not sure what's wrong. I'm still trying to fix it. I think that there's a prefab for a usable ladder. Also since I added yours, a few of the places with water make my screen totally pink checkered when I am completely underwater. I'm not sure what the problem is. Only 2 of the 4 or 5 in the map do this. One of which I made that worked fine before, and one that you made which I think was like this since I added you section. There are no leaks at the moment, so I don't know what's wrong.

Does anyone know how to get the point_tesla and an env_sprite to work. I have the start on flag checked and almost all the fields filled out and yet the don't show.

I also have this weird crashing problem whenever I come near my ambient_generic entity playing a custom sound. When it starts to loop again, and if I sprint away from it or past it, the game will crash. I'm not sure why. :(

Yea, I forgot to put the ladder in... I remembered right after I uploaded it. The map also has gay stuff. I'm also pretty sure that env_sprites are fucked up, and I've never gotten a point_tesla to work...
