Hi, my name is Jurgen Knops. I live in The Netherlands and I'm 19 years old now. Currently I'm study Informatics in the ''"world largest port"''-city Rotterdam. Later I want to set my senses to the Microsoft software development technologies, like [http://www.microsoft.com/net/default.mspx .NET] and the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp C#] coding language. For now I just want to have fun with Half-Life(2) and C++.

In 1998 i'd played my first (online) shooter. And sure! It was Half-Life. Since that date I always played that game (including several mods). When the release of Half-Life2 becomes a fact, I began to interest me in the multi-purpose Source Engine. I always loved to help people with their problems when they were modding for Half-Life. So after the release of Half-Life2 I began to write tutorials in Dutch. This espessially for Dutch modders that are bad in English. Begin 2005 (March) I had wrote/translate a [http://www.jurgenknops.nl/images/software/Half-Life2ModelViewer_versie09NL.png Dutch version] of the standard [[Model_Viewer|Model Viewer]]. This with great honor from the Dutch Half-Life2 [http://www.halflife-2.nl Community]. Hm, maybe I should write/translate tutorials in the Dutch language as a contribution here on the VDC... Contact me if people want that!

Hello, and welcome to my User Page. My name is Jurgen Knops (feb, 1987) and live in The Netherlands. Since 1998 I’d played my first shooter – coincidence or not – it was Half-Life. The game fascinated me, so I started to play online – including the official mods Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat. The last one did start me to map for Half-Life and Day of Defeat, in a later stadium I'd decided to code with the SDK. When the release of Half-Life 2 became a fact, I started to begin modding for the Source Engine, just for myself and for own purposes.



   Things I’ve done


  • March 2005, I'd wrote (translated) a Dutch version of the standard Model Viewer. This with great honour of the Dutch Half-Life 2 Community. Unfortunately the latest Steam version (V3) doesn’t support this translated version anymore. Maybe in a further stadium of my programming experience (read: when I want to take the time for it) I’ll create a new version of this Model Viewer.


  • July 2005 to July 2006, I'd playtested the Half-Life 2 modification ‘From Coastline to Atmosphere’ from Leon Stephen Brinkmann. I'm also the creator of the ‘keycard’-model which gives the player - at a certain moment - access to another part of the mod. Against all expectations, this simple model will be back in Leon's upcoming mod ‘Strider Mountain’.


  • September 2006 to April 2007, I translated a group of articles for the Dutch version of the Steam Support Wiki.



   Things I do


  • Since begin 2004 to ?, I try to create my own modification, which is based on trains. Trains? Yes, it’s a kind of obsession for me, because I’m also a driver of them. The intention of this project is in it’s first place to get myself up-to-date with the Source Engine features (in the case to help other people with their problems) and second to answer the question ‘what should, and also, what could I do with my ideas on the engine’.
