Commented 1 year ago2022-12-28 22:24:03 UTC in journal: What are your goals for this 2023 Comment #104958
  • Get a girlfriend. It's great to be single in many ways but sometimes I miss having someone special.
  • Get a driver's license.
  • Learn to play the piano.
  • Don't watch any pron. It messes with my head and kind of ruins the real thing.
  • Move abroad. I have always wanted to, it has just never been a good time.
I won't do all of these things, but I think I will be very happy if I achieve just a couple of them

Also, I promise that I will:
  • Be a better friend and brother. In the past I have usually been pretty passive, rarely been the one to take the initiative to get together with my friends or siblings or even just calling them on my phone, due to social anxiety. I am lucky to have them. This year I have started to move out of my comfort zone, and even reconnected with my childhood best friend, and I will continue in that direction.
  • Improve my physical and mental health and sleep by getting more exercise and being less attached to my phone and computer. Good night.

To do: describe the weird Pitch Yaw Roll behaviour better. Relevant code: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/blob/c7240b965743a53a29491dd49320c88eecf6257b/dlls/effects.cpp#L1198

Winter is always better with people around
Very true. But people also drain my energy. And when I am alone, my mood just collapses and my thoughts turn dark. Vitamin D helps a little so I always take that. Unfortunately there are no fresh blueberries this time of the year: they hate the cold as much as I do.

I am sure lots of people get Winter depression in Romania too, but even there your Winters must be milder than Sweden's. My ancestors were idiots to move so far north - couldn't they have stayed in Greece or Italy or something? I've been in Croatia for 11 days now, and it is fantastic! Even though it's been raining every day I am outside all day except when I am working or when my feet get too tired. It was 18 degrees here yesterday, while Växjö is covered in snow. I feel so much happier from being outside and getting exercise and sunlight. I'll probably get fat from eating too much pistachio baklava, but it's worth it

If you press the "Edit" button you can replace your upload instead of making a new vault post for each update. And if you click "Edit Screenshots" you can add a screenshot - I suspect the number of people on this site who knows what this map is about is 1, and a screenshot is a good way to change that.

Welcome to TWHL! Thanks for sharing your map! Would you mind adding a screenshot? It's unlikely that a lot of people would download your map without having an idea of what it looks like

I drink it every now and then but not every day like I used to - I miss it, but I don't like addictions and it's a lot easier for me to get up and out of bed in the morning when I am not dependent on caffeine. Plus it tastes so much better when you are not drinking it out of habit or need. It's a good suggestion though

The metamod repo has seemingly complete entity lists, and we are missing a lot: https://github.com/alliedmodders/metamod-hl1/tree/master/metamod/ents

It would also be good to have articles for light_surface and other compiler entities

I like that you are making a big forest map, that's not too common. And you use sounds a lot, that's very important :)

You can delete most of the files from the download. Many are included in Half-Life already, and many others are not used by your maps. Your maps only use the following files:
Alien word.wad
chateau.wad
Cosmic Horror1.wad
CrazyD.wad
cs_cbble.wad
cs_havana.wad
cs_office.wad
de_airstrip.wad
de_piranesi.wad
halflifealpha.WAD
HLAZ.wad
itsitaly.wad
LifesEnd.wad

sound/ambience/Something Turns to Nothing (320 kbps).wav
sound/ambience/The Smallest Weird Number.wav

sound/ambience/videoplayback.wav
sound/ambience/Waiting (2) Mono.wav
t2_789.wad
t2_mrfloyd.wad
tfc.WAD
tfc2.wad
If you remove the other files that aren't needed, you cut the size down from 580 MiB to 126 MiB. This means faster downloads and less space wasted. Of course, since this is just a prototype it's not a big deal

Hi and welcome to TWHL. Did you mean "hidden"? If not, what does hidder mean in this context?
Commented 1 year ago2022-09-28 20:34:48 UTC in vault item: Server crashes (md_havic) Comment #104808
Yes, the server (and we!) need all the other files, not just the .bsp

I have added a compiled .bsp to the download.

I have taken the liberty of adding a compiled .bsp to the download.
Commented 1 year ago2022-09-28 17:52:20 UTC in vault item: Bad surface extents in kz_mountain Comment #104805
Because there is no indication that anyone has played your map, and because your map crashes the game for me, I have renamed this and moved it from "Completed" to "Problems".

Your map crashes the game with a missing WAD error message because you forgot to include kz_mountain.wad. When I create a kz_mountain.wad, the game crshes with the error message "Bad surface extens 1616/0 at position (1024, -1728, 1328)".

If you decide to fix your map, don't forget to include the skybox (gfx/env/hairyface*.tga)
Commented 1 year ago2022-09-24 00:01:37 UTC in vault item: Barney won't move to aiscripted_sequence - city Comment #104799
It's missing
  • halflife2.wad
  • myown.wad
  • walltex.wad
I believe all or most of the textures that are missing are from Half-Life 2, and this is the WAD radu_dark_mapper was referring to: https://twhl.info/thread/view/10802

It plays a lot like cs_assault which I really like. The download died but thanks to Jessie I could restore it

The download broke but has been restored thanks to Jessie. Unfortunately, "ambience/Lord of the Rings .wav" (yes, I meant to type the extra space at the end) is missing but the map can still be played.

The download (external link http://www.filefront.com/15704219/cubicle_hlifehotdog.rar) died. I have replaced it with your .bsp from the TWHL Cubicles mod and it seems to work fine.

The DLLs are actually not needed for switching between maps with the N and P keyboard buttons.

How to prevent the game from crashing

Delete the folders "dlls" and "cl_dlls"

The download broke. An old version of Hammy-Bob Mod had a tw_space, so I replaced the download with that - it appears to be the same map.

I played it on a public HLDM server a while back and had a good time. It reminded me of Battlefield 3's Ziba Tower a little bit. You need to constantly be looking around you
Commented 1 year ago2022-09-14 19:08:59 UTC in vault item: Light_Prefab Comment #104779
Hammer can't open the .map without modification. You can fix it by opening the file in a text editor first and replacing every instance of "\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\valve" with just "valve". That reduces the length of the "wad" property, allowing Hammer to open the map.

If this is a multiplayer map, please choose Half-Life Deathmatch as game. It's the name for Half-Life's multiplayer mode and not to be confused with Deathmatch Classic.

Thanks for uploading it again! 👏 I'm going through the entire vault, seeing what works and what doesn't, trying to fix broken downloads and other issues. I wish I could say I was especially curious about this map, but the screenshot really doesn't do your map justice! I played it now, and it was such a surprise how enjoyable it was! It was a really fun puzzle, and you put a lot of work into the ending! Thanks again for making me and everyone else able to play this after all this time!

Google Chrome is unfortunately overprotective and stops you from downloading most programs that are "not commonly downloaded". It's a headache for programmers working on hobby projects like this.
