Trying to recreate this? -I recognized it, but only because I know a lot about dams and am building the same thing ;P - I like the supports, they change from the reference but it's still recognizable. Don't forget the windows. Also, that platform should ideally be concrete - Change it to a wall portion instead of a hanging metal platform and then incorporate the canals models for the generators I'd say. Also, split up the back walls into different brushes (128x) for standard wall heights, maybe 256x for this scale. It makes the textures look better.
As far as I know the nav system replaces the node graph with info_nodes. Both the bots and hostages should use it now.
dont dam corridors bend in a ) like way?Aye, but it's such a subtle bend because the things are so massive. You can't notice too well. Additionally, you can't go all throughout the dam it seems - There's some stairways and maintenance routes but for the sake of flood protection a lot of it is blocked off and water tight.
That first picture looks familiar RabidMonkey! Black Mesa: Source anyone? Oh wait it's been renamed hasn't it?
Hoover dam ;] - And yeah, renamed :F
I think as a part of the refract shader it's a little shiny anyways. You should probably be envmaptinting it to about .1 if you don't want it shiny.
There's already a de_dam - Might want to change the name. Doesn't look like the inside of a dam to me, either (yes I have been inside of one) - Most of the corridors aren't fancy, have a fancy vent and pipe system, and aren't too big. For gameplay this can be adjusted but stick to something more angular and even square perhaps.
some ideas for dam tunnels and such are here too.

I don't really like HIT myself - They seem to play a huge game of favorites and it's silly.
Flip Normals button.
Colour mod is probably a shader call, but it has to be instanced from the code, ie garrymod's implementation.
Speed modifiers can probably be done with cl_ or sv_ commands.

HDR is suprisingly simple to utilize. Firstly, you'll want to use an env_tonemap_controller, with a logic_auto to fire some inputs to it. Then, you need to run RAD with either HDR parameter -hdr or -both, -both compiling both LDR Fallbacks and HDR while -hdr compiling only HDR light.
As for the details for the logic_auto and the controller - The values are SetContrastScaleMin and SetContrastScaleMax, and you have to play around with different values to get a desirable result. Try something like 1 and 10 for great contrast range. You can adjust it ingame with the ent_fire system too.

It could easily be a faulty card...or it could be the new nVidia drivers. NV has been releasing some real PoS drivers since June or so (The ones they forced me to use with the BF2 release were horrible and BSOD'd every few minutes) - Either return the card and see if it's replaced with a working one, or try rolling back to an earlier driver version.
It shouldn't be a driver problem when Windows is starting, though. Check your connection, check the fan connection, check the temperature, and make sure you have enough power to run the device. (I'm running on a 205w power supply, NV and the card manufacturers usually recommend 230-50.)

The mempool area is a stability indicator, not an error. Ignore it, it's unimportant.
Aye, you can refresh models and sounds but not materials - The way the filesystem handles them it has to run a precache when Hammer starts up.

You don't need vmt's named st_rockcliff003 for example but you do need vtf's.

Not as buggy as HL1 ;]
If you know HL1 very well then there's not much new to learn in Source.

Learning to type properly isn't difficult, really.
Make sure the IG button on the toolbar is un-pressed.
The preview was the demo IIRC ;x
By beta I mean the leaked beta that was widely spread across the interweb.
If you look at the HUD icons for HL2 in Hammer or a texture viewer the cut weapons' art is still there.

Yay, people do use the entity guide!
I had an NS server ages ago and played it with Rabid all the time, but I'm not making another server, because you asked.Hehe, I 'member that.
pipetika ;x
Other than the valve it looks fine, the tex looks rather good as well. Smooth out the seperate-y-bits abit more though, I can see the seams on em.

Some screenshots I took.
@m_garg: I can't find it anywhere recently, and I'm not about to host up a gb's worth of beta files.

Ok a little off-topic but people who are getting death threats or stupid PMs need to get in touch with me, I've already suspended a few accounts for it and would like to get rid of the rest, it's not a joke, its immature, if we really wanted to debate it it's illegal with your local authorities and you can get in some big shit for it. So just don't do it. Also, its against my lovely forum TOS which is stickied everywhere and I'm sure you've all read it (right?)
Well put.
Trapt made his post based on someone's opinion, you can't just go around saying 'omg this is wrong habboi is right' because what he's saying is just another opinion too. It's all a matter of who's opinion you choose to listen to, it seems most of you take habboi's explanation over the one Trapt is referring too, that's fine, but you can't say "Trapt was wrong habboi is right" because its all opinionated and you cant be sure its true fact. Not that I'm taking sides, either could be true, but he doesn't owe anyone anything, I don't remember him saying "I'm right omg this is fact" or anything, so he has nothing to rectify really (other than posting additional info), so unless you guys have solid proof and can identify the actual story then noone is right, so quit saying people are wrong and just prove it and get this over with. I'm not going to lock this unless people keep spamming with COMPLETELY USELESS crap, it seems there's a valid discussion going on, no matter what it's over.
Edit: Kasperg has good advice. It's true, if you know you can't deliver and use other people's work to show off, they might be impressed but they certainly won't be when they find out it's someone elses stuff or that you really can't deliver.

The rule is so that we can suspend people who come on asking for "omg where can I download hl2 omg!?" or "omg I have hax version of hl2 how do work it lol?!"
I know that Trapt had quite the discussion with said informant and has a very valid reason for not publicizing his name. I know he's working towards exposing more evidence I hear ;x
The falling er, water, looks great. Looking very nice!
Use the last option (direct link.)

Trapt should be able to provide it, I was talking to him earlier.
Yeah, I had this for a while then realized I was trying to connect to a counter-strike server as opposed to CSS >:!
Haha ;D
@TBV: The server is set to TeamDM or something, even though mp_teamplay is 0 - Each time you die from a kill you get the 'press esc for forgive' and I got KBanned along with a guy named BOB and ZeG because it was counting TKs or something. Also, the gravity is FUCKED UP or something, because you can jump and get stuck on things and you tend to bleed through the walls and props a lot.
I checked the IP addresses and they're not horribly similar (thanks Seventh)
National Center for Atmospheric Research...This is close to my house ;x - Perhaps one day I will take reference for anyone interested in constructing it.
yeah, i couldn't find a plan or anything.. but if you can find more reference shots, it would make a damned cool map.
902 now =/
5 star maps don't matter, people sometimes will either spam the ratings up or down =/
Ministeve posted a dem file for bshift owners a while ago.
Not responding on a search ;x
Its nice to have an override so admins can approve accounts that get stuck in the email queue and easily identify false ones. IPB has this.
People like the people from the show Laguna beach >:|Hah, some hawt female on Myspace invited me to a Laguna Beach user group =/ (And of course what option is there but to ACCEPT ;<)
WinRAR =/ - Most underrated archiving utility evr. kthxbai.
Ctrl-Shift-G should bring up a go-to coords box too.
It's pretty much a worthless option for recovery in HL1. The cuts it makes into the geometry are ghastly and ruin the chances of recovering things for the most part.
WinBSPC always converted solids properly for me but did not store texture coordinates or information. BSPtwoMAP always worked and saved the coordinates (mostly) but did not retain original solid information.

If replace isnt working then you have to do it manually, or as Grim said, rename them in the actual wadfile and reload teh hammre.
Because this is like the ubar-sucky thread. But I've closed it now, mwahaha >:!
Game Cache File.
Use GCFScape to extract all the missing files from sourcesdkbin in sourcesdk.gcf.
I've posted GCF information numerous times, searchy.

Zombie: Dynamics can be parented, other lights cant, thats the main difference. Lights or Spots can be disabled or enabled as well IIRC.
If we want to get technical cubemaps are simply short for Cubic Environment Mapping. They are a very inexpensive form of specularity on world surfaces and models, as opposed to realtime reflection (water) or specularity.

You can fix the file not found error by rextracting the files from the GCF.
hehe.
