To get the sounds, you can take a look at the code, or decompile the model and check the sequence's events. As for muzzleflashes, i guess you can either check in-game and compare to the sprites, or search in the code. HUD sprites should'nt be too hard to find, if i recall correctly the files use the prefix "640hudX".

There's also specific huds and muzzle effects (I think)

Im not sure what you mean. Just open up some models with the Half Life Asset Manager and see. i think v_awp is the viewmodel of the awp for example...then go into sounds and listen to sounds until you find the awp sounds

For my Half-Life mod I want to port the dual pistols and AWP. I know the tutorials to follow in order to do this, but I can't figure out which resources belong to which.
ooooh, i dig pics 5 and 14, cool dystopian vibes
Oa... this is so cool
Almost forgot! some progress videos I made (these map versions are pretty old though...).

Realized I've never posted here for things beyond goldsrc help so I figured I'd share some of the progress I've made on my mod over the last few months.
I don't deserve a place like this.
A dim reminder of my actual state.
I feel at peace here, maybe I can settle down for a while...
Wretched...
You can't ever get enough of these catwalks...
There's a tension in the air right now.
...
Feels cold and dull.
Usually I hate getting myself wet...
Why should I clean myself? I don't feel any guilt.
I don't remember doing anything deserving of being placed here...
God, it's so humid and damp. Why am I here?

Nothing to apologise over. You just need to take a mini break and try again later.
Sorry, when I wrote that I was really really burnt-out and searching for quick means to an end. I apologize.
If you're making your own weapons, just make your own map to test the special mechanics you coded ???
I'm trying to test weapons in my goldsrc mod, anybody know a good map (preferably with enemies) to test on?
I remember those forums. They had some great stuff there.

I would like to disable respawning in my multiplayer HL2 mod, similar to when you die in CS, but I can't find any sources for this. Please help!
I've been recently fascinated with a now closed forum that was very popular back in the late 2000s called the "Half-Life Improvement Team" (or just the HIT forums), especially with a lot of its discussions and models being lost media or just very hard to find. Admittedly, I've pretty much only created this account just to talk about this subject, especially with it not being brought up in a long time.
And don't forget our own guide:

New update https://github.com/FreeSlave/halflife-featureful/releases/tag/featureful-2024-12-08
This release introduces the support for the texture material type configuration. The mod developer now can add new material types and customize the parameters of predefined ones. Read wiki for more information.

Fake decals on func_illusionary doesn't look quite right.
I can just make it a sprite but is it possible for a brush texture to have an index-alpha effect like how decals work?
This issue was reported over a decade ago: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues/1169
It's a bug in the engine so it can't be fixed in a mod. You'll just have to deal with it.

It's so bizarre that I can't really find anyone discussing this issue, yet it seems to be common enough that you guys have alternatives to get around it.
bruh
How is this happening with fan-made maps but the base Valve maps don't suffer from it.
bruhYou can also use Ctrl-M to scale the brush by less-than-1 factors to make it thinner, if you're using JACK. Or you can use its vertex scaling feature in the vertex manipulation tool.
On top of that, the 1 unit gap is much harder to notice than you think when you're not looking for it, and when people do notice it anyway, it's no big deal.
Now, about the decal thing, I only remember that messing with decals.wad is one way to cause similar problems. It is advised never to modify it or provide your own. But that's all I know.
You can achieve decal effects with sprites too, iirc. The303's website has a lot of info about it.

There are tricks to make brushes thinner than 1 unit. For example, make one brush 1 unit thick and another brush 8 units thick, select both and resize to 1 unit, now the original 1 unit becomes 0.125 units thick.
You could still try cutting the brush in half to form a triangle so that the texture touches a little bit more the floor. Though for the decal issue, I've got no idea on how to fix it (except if you're willing to code a fix yourself), because decal "corruption" is a common thing for mods (at least it happens really regularly for me).
Man that sucks. Placing them as brushes doesn't really work for me because the grid doesn't go small enough, you'd be able to see the texture floating a unit away from the wall. Is there any way to get around decals behaving strangely or is it just something you have to live with? I don't think I've ever seen them do this in Valve's maps.
He's a fox blob actually. A little boxy, sure, but mainly a blob!

Update: All I had to do was creating a new game config.
That's the problem with decals : they tend to "corrupt" for strange reasons over time, and they're not really flexible anyway. I think using 1 unit thick additive (or whatever) func_illusionary is a better alternative than decals, also the cool thing with them is that you can deform them like Source overlays, so they're really useful.
There is some complex texturing in some of my maps, so that could be why decals appear in weird places? The above example map doesn't have any edited texture transforms though so it doesn't explain decals disappearing/changing textures.
In my experience it can happen if you did some complex texture transformations. Try to reset the texture transformations and see if the issue persists.
Hope making only one didn't completely kill my motivation, here ya go!;

I've been having a weird issue with decals that's plaguing every map I make, regardless of the editor or compile tools I use (the latter having minor influence on the problem). Decals will randomly use the incorrect texture, disappear, multiply, It seems to be affected by quickloading but I've seen decals plastered all over walls I never placed any on while playtesting my maps and it's baffling.
Before quickload
After quickload
This is the best I can purposely recreate it. idk what's going on. This doesn't happen in any maps that aren't compiled by myself.

The only thing I could think of as to why is because I'm using hardlinks (using Link Shell Extension) to make it seem like the contents of a common folder are in another place. And yes, I've explicitly put the VPKs that are in those folders in
gameinfo.txt.Thanks for reporting. Will be fixed in the next version.
This is the consequence of switching to Visuals that allow for render parameters customization. I didn't properly define the default Visual for gonome's guts.

The fox head in the videos looks square. It's a Foxbox.
"Projectile weapons" has been released. It has a bit of a sawblade launcher, charging grenade launcher, poison dart and a funky concept of proximity grenades.
Featureful SDK allows you to change any monster's relationship with the player https://github.com/FreeSlave/halflife-featureful I'd recommend using this SDK as it allows mappers way more variety and customizations in your maps
Without code changes, the only thing I can think of is to 1) hurt Barney with something activated by the player, like a

If you don't mind changing the code, then it's a lot easier, either make a custom trigger to provoke a named Barney entity, or just change the relationship with the player to be hostile (https://twhl.info/wiki/page/Monsters_Programming_-_Classifications_and_Relationships).

I am making a half life 1 mod but i want the security guard to shoot at the player automatically. Can someone tell me how to do this?
The Gonome's gut projectile seems to be invisible. Its other effects are visible though.

28/11/2024 UPDATE: - The Final Update.
So after 3 months, I can say for sure that I finally Now know how to Compile Models using Studiomdl. I've learned that "./" Should be specified for compling models in any Directory whereas "valve/models/*modelname*.mdl" seems to be for compiling models for the Main Half-Life Directory. (However, For my E3 Mod, I'd created a Duplicate valve Directory under my Model Source Directory to preserve the Original File paths in the .qc files while using Absolute Zero's .bat files to compile the Models Automatically)
With everything I've said, I'll close this as Solved, Expect no further correspondence from this Thread, This is my final epistle.
Yours in infinite finality,
~ NSWThomasFan.

(However, For my E3 Mod, I'd created a Duplicate valve Directory under my Model Source Directory to preserve the Original File paths in the .qc files while using Absolute Zero's .bat files to compile the Models Automatically)
Anyways, i tried another Attempt using Crowbar for compiling (The Studiomdl.exe is from the Absolute Zero Developer Drive's Old Compilers Directory [There's a file saying it's the Seven Co-Op Game's version which seems to be what everyone uses]) using the Directions mentioned here: - https://www.the303.org/tutorials/gold_mdl_comp.htm but i still keep getting errors when i tried to compile.
So, First off Back in the Above Post, i was using 3Ds Max 8 with Cannonfodder's SMD Exporter but i mentioned that it wouldn't Complie, Well it turns out that one reason for why it wouldn't Complie was because it was the wrong SMD Format, Cannonfodder's Exporter was exporting the Files to Half-Life 2's SMD Format which uses "ValveBiped" instead of the "BoneXX" System Which HL1 Uses, So therefore when studiomdl\Cowbar tried to compile, it was trying to find "BoneXX" But it founded "ValveBiped" So therefore it wouldn't Compile as intended.As for the Situation regarding 3Ds Max, It would seem that As I Said above, I was using an Incorrect Exporter (Which I put down to being a HL2 smd format one). But in the Months following, It now seems that the Exporter was exporting regular 3ds Max bones instead of HL1 format ones (Which seems to be what the .vph files seem to be used for). Anyways I did eventually find an Unpacked Version of Max V1.2 via the Valve Cut Content Discord which only needed to have the Sentinel Drivers to be installed (Which I found on an Third Party Website and Installed via the Custom Option so It was just the component needed for 3Ds Max to work) and Max V1.2 now works almost fine on my 64 Bit Windows 7 Rig (with the exception of an Error Popup saying ACDB.dll is missing whenever I launch the Software) and Was able to get most of the Meshes I needed for the E3 Mod.

The problem: Too many entities are visible in some spots in the map, which makes some brush entities stop rendering.
The causes:
The causes:
- Unoptimized map layout - too open and without the classic kinked corridors used to block visibility →do that
- VIS ran with

Are there any warnings or errors in your compile log?
What settings such as Render FX or Render Mode are you using for each of these entities?
