Remember When...

[no00dylan]

Hello, just recently a thread from 2006 re-emerged, and the threads creator was quite ashamed of his own noobishness. Joe Rogers came up with the idea of going back to our first posts, looking at how noobish we were, and having a good laugh.

Alright everyone, let's take a trip down memory lane, post a few first maps, our first mod idea, baby's first flame war, just anything to poke fun at our past selves!

2009...yeah...


I remember this as a huge waste of time.



What a horrible map, but at least it had some attention to gameplay.


LOL THAT WHOLE THREAD.

"One day I walk into school and the lambda sign was on the board, I started to freak out a bit, but It was just my teacher ranting about how variables can be ANNNYYTHIIIINNNGGG... then he looked at me and everything but his eyes fadedd to pitch black, and i heard... "rise and shine... mr.holcomb..."

Was I high?

[Habboi]

Yeah, no thanks. Some things are better left burried. Like the time I stupidly didn't sit on an inflatable ring properly and couldn't for the life of me fathorm how to at that moment. So I fell out, went too fast and crashed into a load of old people. It was so simple, all I had to do was sit my arse in the middle but noooooooo I sat on the edge. Fail.

My first posts aren't even bad. I've always been cool.

lol i use to us 1337 $p3@K, I was so awesome.

Also, my fist mod idea was...


THE ROCK! A L4D map that took place on Alcatraz. I never even got around to making the map.


I'll find my first map later.

My first posts were asking for help on some tutorial (should have used google) and also asking Blink to change my name because I registered with a cyrillic name and it didn't work.

Well my ancient site still exists. Not updated since 2007 and not properly used since long before then.

Some utterly horrific work here, people. Especially looking back at my first Goldsource maps from when I was like 12.
19 now. Progress has been made.

2004? - HELL YEAH



I redid it at least

[darkpivot]

Hmm... well I joined a couple weeks ago so I don't have many memories here. I did used to go on FPSBanana a couple years back though. I submitted a total of four maps.

My first map ever released was a CS:S sliderace map:


Then I released my second map, which was a hl2 horror map called "dp_scarymap":

(Yes, those lamps have point_spotlights... *facepalm*)

Then there was another HL2 map, this time just a generic fighting map "sp_trainstation":


Then finally was a pretty bad CS:S map called "FY_Deadtown", which was actually created exactly 12 months ago. I rushed it because L4d2 was going to be released in a day.

This map had SO much potential, even got asked to be a level designer for a game because of it. Too bad I was 15 at the time and couldn't join because of a contract thing and I just didn't have the time

[trcc]

the cliff texture is amazing though!

[Jangalomph]

Under my judgment being this my first post on interlopers etc. But couldn't you just say,

for the flare model onphyscannonpickup/flare1/start or what ever to that nature, and Flare1 being the env_flare. Have like a trigger at the end of the parented model and env_flare a trigger_hurt i guess where you could check npcs in the flags menu. And make it like ignite them. Something to that nature.

My very first post here at the loperz.

EDIT:

My first map.. A fun filled fail fest. 2006..

[marnamai]

heh, blast from the past. I was (still am) a horrible speller, my leveldesign skill has come from a long way as well.
2006
