Ok, so I spent all last night compiling (6hrs 27mins) and got this:But I know what I've done wrong (I Think). I need to remove the upwards trim on the skybox side of it and make ALL layers additive. Then properly fit the top texture so that it fades against the skybox. But this means it's gonna open it up a bit more in space use. Never mind. BTW, r_speeds are peaking at 4000 wpolys and 6500 epolys. I'm hoping a full compile will fix this assuming my laptop can cope but are these too bad as they are??
(note to make sure you add { at the beginning)Lol..at least I had the right answer
ok...my method for making transparent textures.
1. Create your texture in your program as a full colour 24-bit RGB make the colour you want transparent some other colour like solid red or black. something that wont mix with your image
2. Copy to wally and paste in a wad file (wally will convert it to a texture)
(note to make sure you add { at the beginning)
3. open texture in wally
3. Use Wallys fill tool to paint the blue colour located in the last bay of the pallet over your solid red colour.
4. Save

Yes, srry is right. That's what I've done in my comp map. You see, the compile tools wont create clipnodes inside clip brushes no matter what the geometry is like inside
Okay, the new textures look ok, but being additive i've got to make them more opaque because you can see through them all too well. And it will take some adjusting because they don't match the skybox very well.
Thanks for the idea srry, will do that straight away.

The name rings a bell and the face does too but can't say I'd actually know who in blue blazes he is.
I still don't think a full compile with help. It needs redesigning.
Here's what I have right now..
---------- ILLUSIONARY BRUSH (Colour 234 117 0) (Render Amount 30)
---------- ILLUSIONARY BRUSH (Colour 234 117 0) (Render Amount 60)
---------- ILLUSIONARY BRUSH (Colour 234 117 0) (Render Amount 100)
---------- ILLUSIONARY BRUSH (Colour 234 117 0) (Render Amount 150)
---------- ILLUSIONARY BRUSH (Colour 234 117 0) (Render Amount 200)
---------- ILLUSIONARY BRUSH (Colour 234 117 0) (Render Amount 255)
GAP
---------- SOLID BRUSH (Colour 234 117 0) (Render Amount 255)
And ILLUSIONARY BRUSH (Colour 234 117 0) (Render Amount 255) around the edges to form like a box which the player falls in. So they are separate entities because if I combine them you can't see the faces underneath when they touch
EDIT: Ok, this is what I'll do. I'll use a texture like Rimrook's but with the fade only at the top, I'll paste that on the walls and slightly above the actual fog. Then I'll use Rimrook's exact texture on the layers so that it blends better.
EDIT2: Please let me know if I've broken any rules, I don't think I have.

I hope that would work over a huge area because i'm at maximum limit with my visible entities. I have to create a volumetric fog so that when people fall in they die and the body is hid. So that it looks neater and also makes the death cam more appealing. I will try that. And the lava thing is actually already done CT, I did that after the last compile 
Lol Rimrook! And I downloaded them off FPSBanana, it was from the Counter-Strike Skybox directory
Comments??? Its almost done!
no...its too open and that's the problem...i'm thinking about curving the cliff up instead of down to save some space
yeah...i'm thinking I'll have to rebuild the map from scratch and redesign it
Lol, you dimwit (don't mind us...this is our working relationship)
Y bring it on!!!
Lighting: 100%
Doing a test full compile and then optimisation runs.
Will post pics in a few hours when it compiles
This is HL:Sci Fi...vs decided to change the name. We are still hoping for driving bits but we have no base code to work with.
Yes, you have to get fired! This is fun, i'm recording all of these and making a mock Steam page. Give me some more ideas!!
Structure: 100%
Detailing: 95%
Entity Placement: 95%

i would actually think B is wiser as killing a Metrocop will alert Overwatch and you will have them crawling all over you in minutes...but its likely only those two will chase you if you do a runnerLOOK!!! I'm glad at least Penguin agrees with me
I suggest A
"You wander aimlessly inside the hospital they tried to resurrect you in. You do this for several hours until you hear faint gunshots in the distance. As they get closer you are suddenly overpowered by a alluring smell. Impulsively, you run towards the smell along with a dozen others. You approach the door to the stairwell, somehow you have made it to the front of the crowd, the smell pulling you towards the open doorway. You jump through the door, suddenly the pop of a 38" rifle round stops you in your tracks. Looking down you realise your right arm is no longer attached to your body, instead it is rolling down the stairwell. Another pop sounds and then you feel nothing as the round pierces your skull"

Lol...nicely named achievement Blitz.
Achievement: "Glueless"
Requirement: Get fired from 5 different jobs in a row

Bloody hell!!! I warned you all that this would happen!!! RIP so when's the funeral???
I honestly dont know...they have a pretty good modeller themselves so they may or may not have...we might not be using them anyway...it's hurting performance too much
8] im still better than you hahaha
at least some people are using logic I mean...he's no Gordon Freeman!!

He still left behind a family and 3 kids...sure he took some scrutiny and it may or may not be true, but he did okay...even if he was a whackjob
HAHA...nice...how about:
Achievement: Playing the Field
Requirement: Achieve 12 One Night Stands
Achievement: Playing the Field
Requirement: Achieve 12 One Night Stands
if i set a them to a high priority my video card crashes
Well...think of the Steam or XBox achievements or the PS3's trophies...they get quirky names and mixed goals...for example...the first one HAS to be:
Achievement: Beginnings
Requirement: Get Born
Achievement: Beginnings
Requirement: Get Born
We all know that the latest craze with games is achievements. But these could go so much further!! I'm making up a list of 'Life Achievements'...and we can make them just like real steam achievements!!! Ideas???
im about 95% general structure done...about 20% detailing done
I would personally pick A
But I would like to pick C
But I would like to pick C
A is the best choice

And isnt that concert right in the path of the nuclear fallout???

I agree...we should all revert to the first map and play with that till eventually the whole world breaks into pieces then we just grab the hot glue gun and keep going 
quote]haha...well we dont have Burger King here!!! We have a much better restaurant called Hungry Jacks!!! lolYou do realize that Burger King and Hungry Jacks are one and the same? lol. History Lesson 921#
I don't know about that, but here's a quote from the official McDonald's Australia
When Burger King attempted to start their line of restaurants in Australia they faced a problem. The name 'Burger King' was an already registered business name in Australia. They fought with the company owner demanding that they relinquish their ownership of the business name but the guy refused to budge. Legally, he had every right to keep the name so Burger King was forced to change their name...the man who was starting the Australian franchise was named Jack...so they named it Hungry Jacks
still.....original fun only comes once in a blue moon...just like those awesome mega hit Indie games that then disappear into oblivion about 6 months after release
Youtube will usually only revoke uploaded music if the publisher or artist puts in a complaint....otherwise...you just get the ads
haha...i love pasta...lol...i was almost looking for a 'like' button...sorry...been using too much Facebook lol
McDonald's. Man...I am so tired of seeing that place everywhere I go!haha...well we dont have Burger King here!!! We have a much better restaurant called Hungry Jacks!!! lol
Dude, nobody plays anymore TTD. Everybody plays Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe now.And it's much, much easier to make a map for OpenTTD.Hey!! I play TTD!!! Well...I did before it stopped working on Vista...do you know how to fix it Urby???
there will always be someone trying it imitate something else...and I have never heard of them either and ive been to Perth, Hobart and Sydney and never seen them anywhere
Steakhouse???? Just cook your bloody own on the barbie!!! lol
(also note the mined waters
)P.S. Next person please save as PNG
one question...where the two layers overlap in the bottom right area...lets say the small tunnel is going under the larger area. Can i have a hole or something that allows you to drop down into the tunnel???
(next person please convert back to PNG, i did not compress the image)
