Just for kicks, I fired up Worldcraft (now they're renamed it Valve Hammer) and tried doing this. I did the tower thingy first so I'd have a sense of perspective relative to the player...

Unfortunately, I can't get it to compile with the lighting yet because of a bunch of brush and leak problems that need to be addressed. When those are fixed, then I'll post the actual level.

Some preliminary work.


What I've done so far.

Well, here's my preliminary map, with most of the features gone. I had no end of trouble with the 256 leaf per node limit of Half-Life...

Unzip to your half-life\valve\maps dir (if you don't have it, make it).

Somewhere someone has a Christ College Doom map.

And I'm willing to bet they didn't even have to create new textures to make it.

I think that the only new textures I'll need for this map are the door numbers and name plaques, and such. Other than those, it's all stock Half-Life textures

I have a friend that would make a model of our high-school for Half-Life, save that he would rather do it for Unreal. I really need to get him to come to his senses.

Nice work! i always wanted to do that with my school.
And then make a bunch of NPC's with skins of people at your college and FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!!!!!

To be honest, I think it would be easier to do in Unreal, since you don't have to worry as much about void leaks. Unreal has a far superior game engine; I"m just so used to using Worldcraft that I decided to do it for Half-Life.

I'll laugh if you get arrested for depicting and conspiring to comit murder on school grounds.

With the general paranoia that followed on the heels of 9/11, I wouldn't be surprised if some idiot tried that. However, it doesn't use copyrighted material, as it's only loosely based on the college (it will not be perfectly accurate, since I don't have AutoCAD or the blueprints of the college). Most of the faculty of the computer labs are also on my side, so meh
