This thread is going waaaaay offtopic.

Restarting my computer didnt fix anything.

Half Life's story was better, gameplay-wise they were even. Id say I like them both equally.

Minsteve, for the last time, noone has stolen my account, stop telling people to ban me.

Thats it? Thats the solution to the mighty "cant click brush more than once anymore" problem? How boring is that! It should be something more manly!!! Like, reinstall Hammer then go eat some raw steak!!!

Polycount is terrible

I know all the shortcuts for rotating and everything (for future reference always assume I know shortcuts and things like that because I HATE people telling me stuff I already know, I'll let it slide because you didn't know this but next time take it into account).

Its just that its more convinient to click a brush twice instead of prssing ctrl m, and setting the rotation manually.

Restart will work but reinstalling won't? Doesn't make a lot of sense...

Neither worked.

You know how you can click a brush once to select it, again to make it "spinable" and a third time to stretch it? Well I can't anymore and I didn't change anything. Whats going on and how do I fix it.

How do you switch arms in v models? Because every time I try they recompile doesnt work.

Rapidcore was the best map, its was beatiful and nobody ever played it. Fun and brilliantly designed.

Thats datacore if I've ever seen it. Theres no way similarites like that could possibly be coincidence.

Yep, google Jed Half Life Model Viewer and click the first result.

Don't use gfc scape, get Jed's Half Life Model Viewer, it can open gfcs and paks.

I've always seen it as two shades of gray wityh a VERY VERY VERY VERY, almost unnoticable pinch of orange.

Verything from a cool person is cool, its written in stone.

Mokeychow, did you even listen to it? Beat get stuck in your head? Instruments? There were not beats, nor instruments.

Actually, Saribous, FL Studio is fairly hard to get the hang of. But lke everything else, once you know what yoiur doing its easy. I've made a pretty cool song, and started a remix of it.... which I probably won't finish...

I added in all the echos, those weren't in Half Life 2, in case you think missed them.

With a program I got for Christmas called Fruity Loops, I have assembled a song as a tribute to the gman, its pretty cool, check it out and let me know what you think.

This thread died a long time ago, and you bring it back up?

So you speak german, but your german is bad?

Well sure, many of you are probably form America and speak english as a primary language. Most of you also learned it in school as a requirement of your governemt or something. But people like Zombieloffe, who live in Sweden or anywhere where english isn't the primary language. Is TWHL the only place you speak it? Do you speak english here and speak another everywhere else? I am very interested to know this.

My name is Sean Goolsby (not Glatimakious Vindiddleblakenship)
I live in the United States
I am 15 years old
I have a mentally challenged cat who drinks from any water source it can find at the time.

Gman isn't human, I think thats one thing we can all agree on.

Looks like Im not the only one who needed to know this.

G-Man is aware of Breen's plan and tries to prevent the Resonance Cascade, but fails

Here's one of the main reasons, everything stating the words "gman" and "fail" in the same sentence. Pfffft.

Here's my theory:

Harnessing the loyalty of his fellow controllers, convincing the grunts, and enslaving the vortigaunts, Nihilanth becomes the near-absolute ruler of Xen. Your scientist friends find an interesting material which they decide to experiment on, for reason unknwon to man, its a video, deal with it. Unknowingly it is actually a crystal, rock, or whatever from Xen, and the experimentation causes a portal to open between the crystals original planet (in this case Xen) and Earth. Again, how the crystal got there in the first place, I don't know nor do I care. Moving on. Seeing this as an opprtunity to take even more power than he already has, Nihilanth sends vortigaunts and grunts to Earth, wildlife wanders into the portals with them. At first they do well in nearly conquering Earth (go Xen!) but Gordon Freeman gets a giant arsenal and blasts the aliens away and then gibs them with his crowbar, sending headcrab gibs everywhere that are bigger than the headcrab itself. In order to stop the alien forces alltogether, a scientist opens a portal mechanically and lets Gordon into Xen to kill Nihilanth. He succeeds, and my giant, robotic-butted hero dies, freeing the vortigaunts and leaving the rest without a leader. As payment for their freedom, the vortigaunts offer peace and alliance with Earth. Earth has Xen's back, Xen has Earth's. The grunts and controllers, however, decide to leave the whole Earth thing alone and disreguard anything having to do with humans. Nihilanth is reborn (refer to Redemption) but, remebering what happened last time, conceeds to the alliance with Earth. Which explains why you never see them in half Life 2. However, then came the combine. Their power was even greater than Nihilanth's, and they took over Earth and re-enslaved the vortigaunts, not to fight, but to be used as janitors and guine pigs. Some escape and team up with the Lambda resistance group or help Eli with Black Mesa East. Follow the story of Half Life 2 from here.

I realize this may bring up a few questions, but thats my theory, and I'm standing by it. I still don't know who the gman is, but I do not believe he is capible or failure.

I dont believe a word of that, I would have believed it if Valve had said that, but not some unofficial site.

I believe Nihilanth was responsible for the enslavement of Vortigaunts, why he has collars himself, however, is a mystery to me.

Something that has eluded me for my whole mapping career.

How do you make a door not open the width of itself? Like when you open the door it opens the width of itself so that when its completely open the textures are mixed together, like what it would look like if you built 2 blocks same size in each other.

I see it done in Half Life and many other mods, but not very many custom maps. I acheived it one time, by accident, and cant remember how I did it, and I have lost that map's rmf.

But stop trying to answer, stop. I know your going to read that last post and only see "Thats what Im asking about" and try to answer the question. Dont do it.

Im not talking about spirit!!!! Im talking about cs 1.6! I know how to work fog in Spirit!

Im already using Spirit to make Nightmare and Life Gear, but this question has been fro cs 1.6 the whole time

Well is there any way to make visibility less in 1.6 the further you look?

I do have cl_weather turned on.

3 things clearly labeling that I am not asking a spirit question. You people need to read. Stop trying to answer this question I said its over, fog doesn't work in COUNTER STRIKE hard winking and that's what I was asking about.

Im already using Spirit to make Nightmare and Life Gear, but this question has been fro cs 1.6 the whole time. But I guess 1.6's fdg has all the same envs, and all the envs work the same. So, this would be online and therefore impossible to create makeshift fog like that for each player, thanks for you help anyway.

Well is there any way to make visibility less in 1.6 the further you look?

The entity said 0 (stays)

I set up an env_fog, set it to "start active" and set its hold time to 0, so it will stay foggy. But when I compied the map there was no fog.
I do have cl_weather turned on.

Vassy, I think yours has something to do with the military. Because all your avatars are psychos with guns.

They are enc_beams, I've already looked and its not a sprite.

Mine, because christmas, the Gman, and charactures all rock.

O....k.....

I've seen things ike this before in Natural Selection, you mean like you face a certain direction and your computer starts to lag, but not because of r_speeds? I can't figure that out either.

Thats pretty cool, but why is the Gman humping the air?....

The answer to every single question (though I only read about 5):

3 words, Bush became president.

You guys are all stupid.

It should be an aug....

I seriously doubt custom Source models for HL2 are out yet.

I think its trigger_gameaudio

Use the mp3 trigger, I don't know what its called though.
