yea try deciphering a valve map...that's the number two leading cause of death in programmers aged 17-25.

Worldwide.

I haven't branched out from mapping for Half-Life 2, so it will take me a while to get used to all the new stuff involved in multiplayer mapping.

Has anyone managed to make a working VPK yet. Mine shows in the addons section, but won't show anywhere else.

But Valve really ought to fix the Versus editions of Dead Air and Death Toll... Having non-accessible rooftops in an urban area is just lame.
