BridgeVille is the third mapping challenge in The Hammer Cup 2017, a series of five mapping challenges spread throughout the whole of 2017, each with a different theme.

The focus of this theme was clever and interesting use of a bridge.

This mod contains 19 official entries and 1 unofficial entry.

Episode Two is required to play this mod.

Howdy all, slightly late notice but here is my plan (PLAN!) for this weekend:

SATURDAY
I’ll be streaming Saturday at 9am Eastern US Time (2pm in the UK, 3pm Europe) the beta version of ICE.

SUNDAY
I’ll be streaming Saturday at 9am Eastern US Time (2pm in the UK, 3pm Europe) some Level Design Academy Trigger practice.

As usual, you should check the Time & Date.Com website for your local time.

The stream will be on the RunThinkShootLive YouTube Channel. See you there!

This is a place holder post for my rolling review, which will be posted as comments. Each time I play, I will add a comment detailing my thoughts and feelings as well as some screenshots and other information.

Feel free to join me as I play.

The post has details about the game.

I am very pleased to announce that some exclusive RTSL graffiti has been created by Monkeymo and I would like to thank him for all his hard work.

We worked together to get exactly what I was looking for but he did all the work. After some feedback from modders a grunge/grimmy feel was settled on.

Crowbar converted the images into VTF (files that can be used by modders) and made the demonstration map, from which the image below have been taken and I would like to thank him too.

The graffiti is available for use by any mapper and no entry to any mapping challenge is obligated to use them. They can be used in any non-commercial Source release but a credit to Monkeymo and RTSL MUST be included.

In future, I may offer a small prize (or even extra points if the judges agree) for clever use or placement of the graffiti in maps entered into mapping challenges.

Staring in a lift with Alyx, you find yourself in what at first seems an abandoned cliff-side village.

Obviously, things aren’t what they seem.

Can you survive until the ultimate encounter?

Only time will tell.

“An operative for an unnamed infiltrate-and-assassinate corporation has to invade an enemy facility and cripple their production of missiles and other weaponry.”

A room. Two levels. With three doors. Two locked, one not.

Three crystal cylinders. A crowbar.

Put them together and what have you got?

Play to find out.

A couple of days ago I work up to find the site offline.

It’s a horrible feeling, especially if you don’t have time to fix it before leaving for work or worse, having to wait for somebody to do something before you can do something else.

This fairly brief post will explain the result of that outage.

What a start to June!
As you probably saw, the site was down for all of yesterday and for that I apologise. I want to make it clear that it was NOT Nodecraft’s fault and I fully support them. I will be moving hosts very soon and will explain properly soon.

I hope to start livestreaming again soon, maybe even this weekend and I am dying to get back to mapping.

I think the Steam Summer sale starts soon, so I’ll no doubt be buying some games for my collection.

What plans do you have for June?
