Ahh thanks! I'll check this out when I get home (school atm). Unfortunately I have already shown the project in my english class that I needed this effect for but I might put it in for the public release.

that would be a fun map if it was a huge room and there were triggerable explosions everywhere on the wall like if the wall was cut up into hundreds of buttons and each triggered an explosion right on it.

Thanks, I figured out why using the button_target alone caused problems. After the first shot, the env_explosion damage triggered the button_target again in an endless cycle...Duh! I should have seen that right away.

I never said it'll be special. The coffee machine is good, really. But have you ever seen such thing been done?
I see the link works and I see there's no readme so let's put things clear:
-The password is in a briefcase. -Just press the keyboard when you've got the pass (it displays onscreen 'Passowrd found' or sumtin) -If you're stuck in the folders press the keyboard and you're back to the root folder. -When you finnish the level (actually copy the files) just walk out the door to the elevator and it'll fade. If this doesn't happen then what you're waiting for? Get back and have this box hax0red!

Yes, for some reason the button_target alone just continually kept triggering the mm after one shot. By targetting a button, I could adjust the delay-before-reset...which made it one-shot, one-explosion.

ok dude the texturing is the best part, there is only one thing that the textures are bad on, but thanks for the comment. I played it with 3 other mates and it was alot of fun for a while, but it got boring after like 10 rounds.

Oops. Thought I got rid of my OpFor wad a while ago. My bad. As for passable, thanks for the info. It's so much easier with a door than a train, and I can never manage to get the thing exactly right with path corners.

Cool. But you can make it a LOT better with some easy steps.
Align all the textures in the entire map so they lok right. (Drawers, inside window frame, ceiling.) When you add more hallways and such, make sure you put in better lighting.

omg. how original. aztec arch textures. piranesi grass? (or am i giving u too much credit?) and half life crates. did you even think a teeny weeny bit of realism would have made this map so much better?

ok. you need to put the sound in 'cstrike/sound'. and have the path set to 'sound/yoursound.wav'. the paths must include the '.wav' at the end (in hammer); the same goes for the sprite. and make sure you have set the sprites rendermodes etc correctly.

The sprite seems to work, but in Hammer it doesn't show the sprite it just shows a purple box. Before with "cstrike/sprites/flames.spr" it did show the actual thing.
Now, another problem, the ambient_generic. I have that as an entity (no brush) with the path (EX):C:/Programfiles/steam/apps/account/counter-strike/cstrike/sound/ambience/burning.wav
The sound file is in the correct format, 8 bits 11/22(tried both)khz or w/e and Mono.
It gets to the "Verifying Resources" point and it just stays there. When I click cancel and open up the console it says "Error: could not transmit sound/D", or something like that.

Thanks for confusing me (lol). So you're saying you don't want me to make a brush and "Tie to entity", you just want me to make an entity and assign it to env_sprite?

ok, you need to change the path from 'cstrike/sprites/flames.spr' to 'sprites/flames.spr'
and also you have the env_sprite (point based entity) tied to a brush (textured with a window texture, i can't see what it could be for). this is creating a point/brush based entity combo. i don't know alot about the pitfalls of combining entities, but i know it doesn't help to try and combine brush and point based entities within the same entity.

Yeah, I expected it to be corrupted. It's not an external link, just some network problems. I hope it works this time. If not then you'll have to wait atleast until Friday and I'll remove this from the Vault until then.

I liked this map it was fun to play it had nice sounds and textures were cool, but near the hotel there is some metal stairs and if you jump on the railing you hear glass break it puzzeled me.
The transparant parts aren't transparant because they're blue, but because they're covered with the last color of the texture's palette. Go to the texture in the .wad file and repaint those area's with the last color of the palette (wich is blue when you named your texture with a '{' ).

Dont expect too many comments, its an fy map after all, there have been so many of them. Anyway, if that screenshot shows the whole map then it looks good. texturing looks kinda cheesy, but as in the case of most fy maps, the rounds should fly by fast enough to not take much note of it.
I see the link works and I see there's no readme so let's put things clear:
-The password is in a briefcase.
-Just press the keyboard when you've got the pass (it displays onscreen 'Passowrd found' or sumtin)
-If you're stuck in the folders press the keyboard and you're back to the root folder.
-When you finnish the level (actually copy the files) just walk out the door to the elevator and it'll fade. If this doesn't happen then what you're waiting for? Get back and have this box hax0red!

nevermind...

For a first map, I give it 3 stars

Oh yeah Part 2 is almost done

As for the effect, nicely recreated.
2. i think the civilian team is usually there to watch the fights.
3. i think he said he put the civilian class in this map to act as a referee and gave them buttons to push to enforce rules.
could be wrong, but thats what i think...
4. is this a tfc map??
