What I was saying was AVOIDING making 2 colors for the same thing
I don;t understand why my idea is such a curse to you guys... read the dimensions tutorial... I'v done the math - even the width to walk in between things is 30 units (2.5 feet, which is the standard door width for inside a house)
Whatever
I kinda like the stuff on there - I downloaded a clip of a french dude with a bunch of bike horns strapped to his one piece jumpsuit... you REALLY should check it out... pretty interesting stuff.
Just dont EVER watch the clip about "DRINK DRINK DRINK" shudders OMG disgusting!

That becomes a hassle... say someone doesn;t WANT to download spirit just to check out my map..... shrugs

I challenge someone to make a room EXACTLY scaled to 1:1 (unit:inch) and post it on the map vault... I'm sure it would look pretty good.
I would but tonight my measuring tape broke.

I forgot about that - but then anything I make with it, others must have the mod in order to run the map correct?
Wel DUH DUH DUUUHHH! I don;t know anything about coding.
ROFL.
Well, if you must duplicate houses and such, it's nice to have a point of reference.

Is there a way to add information to a lights.rad file without making duplicate entries (or 2 colors for the same thing?)
Also I'm assuming I don;t have to include the rad file with maps, and that the compiling makes the lights show up.

I've come up with a reference (sort of)
In my conversions, gordon is ABOUT 6.08 feet tall according to the "dimensions" tutorial and my reference of 1 unit = 1 inch
I took the standing obstacle height (73) and used that for inches... it comes out to 6.08333 feet. shrugs

Curious to know if there is a trigger you can set to immediately make barney angry at gordon upon opening a door (i.e. a jail guard on the other side of a court-room door after you've escaped custody)
Ya know how they start shootin at ya once you shoot at them?

Has anyone else ever run into this?...
This seems to happen if I run the map with the file open in VHE... but sometimes it doesn;t so I'm not 100% sure what causes it. Of course I don;t really see any actual map troubles as a result of this, but was just wondering if anyone else experiences this.
OKay doke
Is it possible to make your own grid size? Say you wanna do a map of your own house... walls are 5" thick.,.. is there a way to do a grid of 5?

Do .map files NOT hold visgroups???
I'm working on my start map, and created about 9 visgroups, saved it, closed it, then REOPENED it and the visgroup info was gone.

Well then Andy shrugs
Isn;t it possible that Atom can restrict his access by IP #?
I'm still lookin for someone to coordinate with.
Well, noone has emailed so far so.... :
I'm not sure what Sven is.....
What I mean by "coop" is a cooperative map between myself and someone else.
If I'm stating the obvious, sorry - "sven" sounds like you are referring to a Mod called Sven......
(I'm ust lookin to coop with someone on a standard HL map)

Let me explain.
You wanna buy a house... you go to your local realtor, and he says "take a look at this site, and let me know the listing ID #'s of the houses that look intereting to you"
On this web site is a searchable (or sortable) "spreadsheet" looking database of houses... You check out links within each record, and you have your house!
Now... THAT is what I am trying to accomplish - a web page for my wife's aunt and uncle where it contains a database of properties currently on the market.

I just don't know much about it. :

BTW - I'm sorry to those who feel this thread has nothing to do with half-life - you are right, but I figured I'd ask around to my friends on here, because noone else seems to want to give me any serious answers - hell the people in my paintball group online even flamed me out because I created a thread about this.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction concerning database creation for web sites? I'd like ot fulfill a task of creating a page which contains a database of properties for rent or sale... I've asked in PalTalk, I've emailed people, and nada, nathing, ZIPPO!
TIA

IN the last 24 hours I've gotten some pretty interesting remarks thrown at me in my paintball forum... I'm thinkin maybe I should just get 2nd and 3rd opinions.
I guess what I'm wondering is if it's legal for the doctor to fulfill such a request - I mean, am I gonna be thrown out the door for making such a suggestion? CAN a doctor, by law, perform upon a request?
Does anyone know if it is legal to ask a surgeon to amputate a foot if the foot is causing too much pain from multiple surgeries and deformity? :
Got it - thanks 
Does anyone here have a well edited lights.rad file?
Let me know so I can use it.

What about terrain generation programs? ANything you find that works best?
Not long ago I had a batch compiling program, but I don;t recall the name...
I'm wondering if anyone out there recalls any conversations I held wityh them about it hehe.

Anyne have any recent news as to a release month/year for HL2? I'm hearing late this year, but the source isn;t very reliable.

SUGGESTION FOR IRC SERVER CHANGE.....
starchat has been going strong for years... channel registration is pretty easy and instant, but no bots stay in the channel unless someone parks a bot in there. But channel topic and such are preserved....
in IRC client (like mIRC) type /server Polaris.starchat.net:6667
Just a suggestion.

I noticed there is no tutorial on how to set up MP maps...
A friend of mine plays Natural Selection, and my comp is kinda slow on that, so I've offered to make a MP map for us...
I'd like to know what is required?
PS: I forgot to mention that this MP map would be for HL... not CS, or TFC.... normal HL

I always have a "stadium" map for testing out theories and such, and right now am working on triggers for lights... the common "switch" just is too boring.
I have 2 possibilities that I need opinions on... what would YOU use?
1- A AAA brush filling the doorway to turn the light on when you enter, and off when you leave... (using trigger_multiple)
2- <STUCK!> This is where I need to know if there is a way to make a ONE WAY trigger... like the light comes on when you enter, and STAYS on even if you leave the room... (please forgive me but is THAT "trigger_once"???)

Jobabob, it seems my compiler has been doing better since illeviating the bounce ans sparse options... 5 minutes max...
I WILL however check out that tool you linked to...

Well, once it stops responding I have to CAD out - it won;t run the rest of hlrad - or is it THAT slow usually?
I'm an impatient person LOL
I'm an impatient person LOL
hlrad is taking mroe than 10 minutes to compile a map, which at that point it "stops responding" and I have to C-A-D out of it (Ctrl Alt Delete)
I'm using the following param's...
$light_exe -bounce 10 -extra -sparse -high $path$file (in expert mode)
is it possible to MANUALLY go into dos and run hlrad? Would that speed up the process?

Okay wait - draworder and drawflat work in software - but I still cant get gl_wireframe operational in GL mode... this is so frustrating.
I have been in OpenGL this whole time...
gl_wireframe 2 WILL NOT work for some reason, and it isn;t finding the command "r_drawflat"
I'm using the following command line...
c:sierrahalf-lifehl.exe -dev -console +map jail
Any time I make and compile a map, I use the "normal" compile options, and I click DO NOT RUN GAME... because then I use the START - RUN - and the commandline above, replacing the map name if necessary.
Could it be my video driver?
