Heh, this is an overdue introduction, should have done it before. I joined Catalyst Gaming solely on recommendation by GRID, a Steam friend of mine. I have a good over 4 months of roleplaying experience, and I seriously hated the rule breaking situation in DeathmatchRP, so I moved on to real, serious roleplaying. I heard Catalyst also supported Spacebuild, so hey? How bad can it be? I joined HL2RP first and instantly cut off any ties I had to DarkRP, I mean DeathmatchRP. My Steam name is Zaughi. Game genres I enjoy? RPGs, shooters, MMOs, even games like Blockland. (Planetside 2 and Everquest 3 coming out this year, suck it XBOX 360 fans! PS3 and PC FTW), WHOOOO!!! Now, it's probably against the forum rules to say "OE MAH GAWD AHD MEH OEN STEEM" in my introduction. So seriously, I'm not even gonna try. Thank you for reading. Oh yeah, one more thing. I own at shooters.

I've got a couple questions about Hammer that I can't answer. I also cannot find them online. I'll list them below:
Question 1: Prop_door_Rotating. I have an interior test, but I can't find out how to make the doors fit the wall! I see maps with doors that fit perfectly, but mine always have space on the other side of the wall.
Question 2: How do you make a 3D skybox? Pretty straightforward.
Question 3: Do any of you know anyone on Steam that can help me with map-making or a map-making team that accepts newbies? My best map so far was a city map which had one interior, with an unfitting Door (Q1) and a 2D skybox.
Question 4: How do you turn the VMF map files into BSP so they can be played? I changed the file extension like with Lua coding, but it didn't work.
Thanks for helping me all.

I was in District 6 trying to form a rebellion which inevitably I lost my evil, rebel character 3 days later in a fight that was MEANT to be a 3 rebel VS one CP. Well, first things first. After I formed the rebellion, we were exiting the district. Upon entering the first tunnel, an entire blockade, about 15 cops just guarding it, some had Overwatch Standard-Issue Pulse Rifles, and I sware I saw a combine or two. So we had to turn back. The next day, my character got together with Hayden Striker's boys and Jamie's rebel forces, but most of them were killed upon the assualt of the Nexus. My character was nearly killed by two bullets from a pistol but a fellow rebel had gotten him back to D6 where he recovered in the underground bar. Two days later, me and Jamie, survivors of the Nexus attack, and a newbie named Conrad, attempted to tackle a CP officer. Sadly for us, a 3 VS 1 became a 3 VS every single Combine or Civil Protection within two miles. Many citizens joined in as they watched the revolution. Conrad and my rebel character Jim were killed, plus all the citizens that assisted us. Jamie's fate is unknown. And so... Rebel Fail of The Week

So, seriously. Don't start a rebellion unless you've got atleast 15 citizens. Don't try it with 2-10. You'll easily get killed. Or maybe you could try escaping to the Outlands although unlikely with all the Combine around.

Alright. I have to admit that I haven't bought Half-Life 2 yet and was too lazy to look up the Outlands on the wiki. Can anyone please give me a full description? All I know is that it's the area outside of cites. In my mind, it's a nuclear wasteland full of Xen aliens and rebels.
Thanks for reading.
