Dwarf Fortress enters Half Life 2

I got bored, and started converting one of Neo's fortresses into a HL2DM map. Here's the results so far.

Yes, sorry for all the orange. I'll fix it in the next update. I just wanted to post this because it's really kinda cool even if it's not even textured yet.  :)

Yeah... sounds interesting, but The Fox has a point; just a screen shot or two to see what we're getting.

It's the old forum rule; no Pics, no Clicks.

Now with textures and lighting! Not sure how to take screenshots in HL2DM, though, sorry. This is just a map file, no danger in it at all...

No need to be sarcastic; it's quite reasonable to be paranoid when someone tells you to download something randomly.

Repeat after me: file extension does not equal file type.

I've seen .zip files hidden in GIFs with midis inside.   It's insane.

Also, jpegs you can play in winamp to get a nifty tune!

Seriously, it doesn't take any special program to make a screenshot. Press Print Screen, open Paint or what have you, paste, then save.

Also, here's a crazy thought, but maybe not everyone owns Half Life 2?  Like maybe me?  So these people, or "I", can't see this unless you post some pictures?

Then again, why would you download something if you know you can't use it?
