Fight for Life

for Half-Life

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

You play a scientist in a new part of Black Mesa.

As usual, the shit hits the fan and somebody has to clean it up.

True, you create more mess than you started with, but that’s what happens when you try to escape.

MapTap: Beta Release 2.4.0 RC11

Update: MapTap has been replaced by Gauge.

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

Here is beta version RC11, which addresses the Steampipe update.

I have tested this version and it worked correctly for me on a fresh install of Steam.

I will be using it all the time from now on to install and test maps and mods.

I am really hoping this one can be released and Alex and I can start planning the next update and what features we want to include.

RC stands for Release Candidate in case you were wondering.

When I first typed this post I made a typo: “Fabruary”. But maybe it was the universe tellking me something?

Maybe this could be a FAB (short for fabulous) month.

So, tell me something interesting….

The 2014 Mapping Competitions

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

I thought I would update you on the Mapping Competitions for 2014.

I won’t be running mapping competitions series for a while. Unless they are connected, there’s no real point. So for the foreseeable future, all competitions will be completely separate.

I don’t want to publish a yearly calendar of competitions and commit to something that’s too rigid. That said, I feel I need to give mappers some idea of the schedule to allow them to plan their work.

Therefore, I have decided to run between 4 and 6 mapping competitions in 2014. Most will be 11 days long, but I may try something longer at least once.

The prize will be either a $5 or $10 Steam game for each and I see this as a token prize, rather than something people enter for.

After each competition, I will do my best to create a podcast and chat with a few entrants. I will also encourage mappers to post regular updates of their work in the comments section of the competition announcement.

Mappers who do that will have the chance to join the podcast, even if their entry isn’t one of the best.

I may also try a text based Q&A with questions from PP readers.

I will be announcing the first mapping Competition for 2014 on Friday 24th January at 6:00AM GMT.
