Yes, I recreated my bedroom in Half-Life and added gameplay elements to it.
I think it is a cool concept and I hope you find some joy in my map.
I made enemy encounters movie-like, you'll be engaged right away, LITERALLY.
Combat is intense and crouch + jump parkour is involved.
I've left some tips and my .rmf files in an "Extras" folder.
I also left previous versions of the map to let you see how things evolved.
This is my very first map created with Valve Hammer Editor.

Anyways, here's a "How to get started" guide:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download these tools (all you'll ever need):
Valve Hammer Editor 3.4 is a map design tool ---> Gamebanana.com
Wally is a Quake2 & GoldSrc texture creation tool ---> The303.org
Half Life Model Viewer (HLMV) helps you to recognize models from your game and also reskin textures, view animations & open package files. ---> Chumba.ch
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting up Valve Hammer Editor, you will be greeted with "No Game Configurations are available" dialog box, SIMPLY PRESS NO WHEN IT APPEARS! If you messed something up, go to Tools --> Options (it's in the upper left corner, you'll find this config box again).
1. Hit the "Build Programs" tab, Analyse the picture below carefully.
Browse to the corresponding directories (it will obviously be different for you depending on where Half-Life and Valve Hammer Editor is installed).
CSG, BSP, VIS & RAD comes together with your installation of Valve Hammer Editor!
WHEN YOU'RE DONE, HIT APPLY!
2. Hit the "Game Configurations" tab.
Again, analyse the picture below. Read my directories and figure out how it should look like on your end.
FGD files comes together with your installation of Valve Hammer Editor!
WHEN YOU'RE DONE, HIT APPLY!
3. Hit the "Textures" tab.
NOTE: "untitled1.wad" will not exist for you! It is my custom texture file and it only exists on my end! Not having it IS NOT vital to this guide. Just point to your halflife.wad file and YOU'RE FINE!
WHEN YOU'RE DONE, HIT APPLY! And you can now close this config box.

A decent map, it looked good, and it played good. However, i encountered a glitch when i got the keycard at the end, i couldn't open the door with it, it was still locked. also the turret could shoot me through the door. I have also recorded my playthrough of the mod (with commentary)
Not bad, but move it to addons.
