Default Half-Life Tube map

This may not interest anyone here at all, but I thought I may as well
share this with the group as it's vaguely on topic.

I am currently developing a map for the game "Half-Life" which has been
out for many years now yet still remains a favourite. The planned end
result is a mini Tube network complete with stations and automated trains.
This is going to be a right PITA to do, but perfectly possible.

I have managed to construct the start of a train which is BASED on the
refurbished 1973 stock and have posted some pictures to my gallery at
http://m33p.be/gallery/hltube. I have only constructed the basic shell, a
lot needs to be done such as texturing[1] and adding finer detail. I can't
go too detailed with it as due to the limitations of the Half-Life game
engine, moving "func_tracktrain" with lots of detail will lag the game
like anything.

I suspect there probably won't be anyone here who will be interested in
this but I thought I'd share it seeing as it's based on a London transport
system!


Brilliant! I once tried a similar thing for Unreal Tournament, but a hard
drive failure put an end to that project. Best of luck... I can't wait to
see the results.
