Literally each and everyone of us can get diagnosed with Autism today. In my case depression turned out to be not doing something yourself you know you can do yourself, it all spun around that.

I think you misunderstood me. It is not about making a port of the mod. The mod itself will feature a part where you gotta homebrew some stuff. =3
And assets like textures, models and whatnot are pretty much universal, so a Mac will do as fine as anything else. (the only problem is, I got no idea how to compile the HL SDK for Mac, so there's probably no easy way for you to play the mod xd)

I am working on a project I believe is gonna be one of the most ambitious HL mods ever.
So yeah, I'd like to see you in the team because of homebrewing consultation (does not involve porting the mod to a console, but rather h.b. within the mod), and making some assets if you'd like to.

Always good to have a vent. Sorry to hear about everything that's going on, but every cloud has a silver lining as they say. Best of luck to Lyssa! Strange that you should mention being diagnosed with autism. We're pretty sure that's what is coming with our daughter...
Happy to hear you're still working on SMJ, and I'd be more than willing to help out with the story anyway I can. I have no professional writing experience, but I certainly enjoy it.
EDIT: Remember that video named "Hiape"? I made it play on my 3DS. (Test unit) It's was from awhile ago. Think I should work more on 3DS games? Cause I think I should.

I should work on that total conversion, so I'll be starting with making a prop with physics. Some encouragement is highly appreciated. And some old tools for compiling bop ver19 maps.
Do someone have any of those? I can't make the home-brew without old source tools.

"but why would you spend the time and effort developing for something that is arguably dead" Maybe he's doing it just for himself. Alternatively, maybe he's doing it because there's no competition if it's already dead. Kinda like I took over the GameBanana Far Cry section - a good chunk of the page was nothing but my submissions, rofl.
But yeah, Screamernail, he's saying that you are developing for a dead platform (the original Xbox). Nobody's gonna play that.

I just checked this out. Having not played the original before and only experiencing this version running around on my own, the improvements seem minimal at first. However, I cannot deny that some of the more major changes are a definite improvement. The 2019 map is more open, which would allow for some interesting firefights. There are also far fewer item and weapon pick ups in dead ends which were a big no-no in the original. The texture changes mean that you can differentiate the various sections more easily and the clip and illusionary brushes for doorways and signs respectively mean that you aren't getting snagged while long jumping around the corridors.
Would love to try this out on the server some time.

I knew it. I so knew it. It was an obvious reference to homebrewing. But yeah, good luck on that. Hopefully if GoldSrc goes OpenSrc one day, a proper Xbox sourceport could be made.

And ORIGINAL Xbox is what I meant to say, I have gotten to work with someone's Xash3D port for the Xbox and are encountering unexpected interferences with it. (Crashes cause it's more than 64mb)
When I get a 128mb ram it'll be changing. But for now I'll be trying to make things work again.

Correction: the "treat as one" in Hammer Editor's texture application tool is not intended to apply a texture on all the faces of a brush at one time. Instead, use SHIFT+click to select all faces and CTRL' to select multiple objects.

You probably can. It's a hacky setup and the keyvalue is used for some other internal purpose by the game most likely. You can experiment and try changing the value of the key to some other numbers. I recall that you can also get the yellow particles appear around the entity (usually you see them if a monster is stuck) or get a huge version of the dlight instead. Also you can get combinations of these effects, but I don't remember the exact values. I remember though that they loop at some point, so entering some huge number could give you the same result as entering something very small.

Thank you for explaining. I am using Quake Army Knife for mapping. I guess I just need to add effects at specific. How to increase brightness radius of this entity? I tried almost every parameter. Only speed is working.

In Hammer-like editors (Hammer, Sledge, Jackhammer aka J.A.C.K., etc.), SmartEdit is a feature that replaces internal keyvalue names with more readable and comprehensible ones if there are any listed in the loaded fgd file. It also enables dropdown lists or color pickers on some keyvalues so you don't have to set the values by hand. But it's fgd-dependent too.
The point in turning SmartEdit off is that with it turned on you can't add custom keyvalues and can only edit the ones predefined in the fgd file. The "effects" key isn't listed in most fgds (or likely none at all), so you either have to add it by hand with SmartEdit off or add the key to your fgd file, making it appear in the entity's properties as you want it to with SmartEdit enabled.

It is helpful. You can open it and replace the light_env properties or RAD compiler properties, compile it and check how it will be rendered in the game. And other stuff.

Thanks for feedback everyone. I've updated the map a little by adding some weapons, ammo, grenades, health kits, health chargers, armor charger and armor batteries around the map, so it's should be a lot more fair for now. It's kinda problematic cause when you test your own map it feels too easy, especially when you played it a ton of times. Also added ambient occlusion to lightning. And thanks for playing

I was originally going to have it all be combine themed rooms but it just looked really bland. I then thought of making each room a different theme, starting with the grassy/nature area. I kept one of the walls there a metal texture and covered it with rocks to make it seem like the simulation was worn down

At-least when I get more than 64mb RAM on my home-brew Xbox.

It might be old but it's good enough to be undying. No matter what people say. Consoles will still be around.
Fortunately wrong.
It's quite inspiring to see that such communities are still active.

I have not been able to work on that HL2 TC yet. Maybe I should do that Morrowind TC first cause it's easier to modify.
