So, what have I been up to? Well to begin with school has started, this means less time for modding and more time for boring stuff. This wasn't a very good time for school to start because I was like "Yeah I have no school so I can do all theese projects at once!". And then school came so I have to prioritize.

The map I was talking about in the previous news post was for Follow Freeman, it's mostly done but I ran into some issues, for example the RPG guys on my map don't wanna fire, i've tried if they do in normal HL2 and they do so I don't know what's wrong there, I'm gonna solve it somehow... Also my NPCs don't want to start running for the players at one place. I'm gonna redo all those NPCs to make sure I get it right.

My priorities right now are as follows:
1. School
2. Finish the Follow Freeman map (so I can be done with it and put all my work into The Wind)
3. The Wind 
4. Anything else

"Anything else" includes tutorials I wanna do, gaming, translating stuff, testing stuff and other stuff I like to do or have said I'll do. Peoeple shouldn't be allowed to play games as little as I've been the last few weeks. :-(

Oh, "Anything else" also includes the next version of Hammer Units Converter, I'm gonna add yards to it, and I might add a function to calculate between 3D skybox sizes too as I often find myself doing that manually (which is so 2007). I might also rewrite the whole application because I've learned so much stuff about Java this year in school (and will learn much more) so it'd be for the best.

I'm thinking about doing a tutorial about doing cliffs in Hammer, or if you have a special request I'd do a tutorial about that instead, just send a mail or PM if you've got any good ideas.

Thanks for reading!
Don't forget to watch me.
