I don't think so, but i haven't tried it. BTW, the SOURCE version of XSI is free, the actual modelling package is $2500!!
I had a picture for this but i lost it somehow...anyway.
I have compiled my map in HDR. I have added a light environment, the three tomemap controllers that are being triggered by a logic_auto. Yet, for some reason, the models in the map are being super highlighted and look extremely bright, some are almost completely white, this includes the weapon models too. WTF!!!???!!!???

i'll have noone to play with so maybe i won't get it at all
...whut? You know there are people on the internet right?
And whats more, everyone i know is not interested in buying it so LAN is out of the question
Of course they have feathers, otherwise we would have to call you 'Baldboy'
And i have to wait until L4D comes out retail. And even then i'll have noone to play with so maybe i won't get it at all

That combine looks both tough and fat all rolled into one.

I don't know what Tetsu means by that comment...but
There are a set of stairs embedded in the wall on one side of the water pit area. There is also a button on the opposite side of the room which activates them. I won't tell you how to solve the puzzle, but now you know what to look for.
I've played the other two entries. Skals was good, not extremely puzzling but nice gameplay. Zeeba-G, i have yet to master your puzzle, but I have figured it out! (all without using any of your cheat books!

I'm sorry if the laser puzzle crashed for anyone. This is an error that has not occured for me or my testers, and quite frankly, the level is sooooooooooooooo complex there is little chance i could actually determine the cause of the crash.
#EDIT# I also got the strange water error. I didn't know what it was so i tried to jump in but i was out of there quicker than i got in! lol. I've got the other entries, Zeeba-G's looks good, i'll play tonight, got a work training session this arvo.
#DOUBLE EDIT# And Skals! Dude! Peace...

lol, thanks 4 the comments guyz. I can't wait to see the other entries! I was a little worried that the download might not work cause i ran out of time to test it yesterday, but i'm glad it works!

Darn slow assed bandwith at this cafe'. Can we have an extention of like, 6 hours just till a internet cafe' with broadband opens so i can upload my 39mb entry??
Might be a good idea to point out. Put the image on some external media, preferably read-only like a DVD, so that the image itself does not get destroyed. If worse comes to worse, format your computer and then use the image.
I still play the good old 'Corridor 7' one of the first FPS i ever played.
I have got this strange error in my Half-Life.
Invalid function pointer in entity. Can't find address (bunch of numbers and letters)
This repeats dozens of times and then says it has saved. But when you load it the map is 'frozen'. Buttons don't work, triggers don't fire and sprites even stop animating. I thought this was a map problem but now it has happened on original HL maps and on both Steam and WON versions. This does not happen however, on MODS. I can load the same map in, for example, the TRON Glow mod and it saves perfectly. What is this mystery??

Okay, i was just gonna post my entry today, BUT, because of the time extention I might just add some bonus content, like hidden treasure items for 'skilled puzzle solvers' on every map and a hint feature to help the 'non so skilled puzzle solvers'
lol

Okay, i just finished Dead Space in appox 10 hours spanned over three days and while the game is mostly unoriginal. IT IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!
The combat is so intense, after wrestling a huge creature biting my neck and managing to throw him off, I then find myself smashing my gun into his head, swearing my head off, and then when he is finally dead I continue to stomp him into the ground, abusing him.
The whole game is extremely well polished, even if it doesn't have anything new.

Yeah, thats why i have so many. I stuck to small maps with no more than 1 or two rooms to prevent vis problems.
Wha?? no dey r not
Bioshock it is then...
Yeah, seen that ages ago... hopefully looks better then the current bioshock but still has the good storyline. Thats a big problem these days, you get really good looking games that fall limp with no decent background and then really good games that look average but play great, like Dark Sector, little game with almost no advertising, graphics are better than average but not great but the gameplay is incredible and really fun. These titles are usually made by new developers

I just want to say that there will not be 5 maps.
Instead, i have reached 9...
That will be all though, cause i've finished and I am now doing final hi-grade compiles and nitpicking.

Yes, however, this problem usually goes away after doing a full compile, but you won't transfer any entites at all except the player so I recommend using a trigger_transition.
Movies of games...
Verdict: usually crap
Example was Hitman, not a very good movie at all...
Anyway, I just got Dead Space, it's sitting im my laptop bag right now begging to be bashed through, still, with payday tomorrow i'm wondering what to get now, should I get:
Fracture
Bioshock
Saint's Row 2

Half-life: Static Frictionlol, thnks, no added pressure
why not, sounds like a good idea, what do we use to compile them though, Hammer? Batch Compiler or Muzzles Compilater (mispelled, sorry)
Oh, and don't you read steam news?No, I don't bother because I can't pay for anything online anything, (don't have and don't want a credit card)
And back on topic, Tom Clancy's End War looks good ATM, however, I have only seen a trailer, not much in-game stuff so it may be....
RE5 looks really good but the concept sounds a bit over-the-top... I mean, mutant slim spitting canines with folded back jaws of razor sets of chompers ready for your leg??
i did know it was coming, but not by who, not that i pay much attention to the developer. I usually read 'play' magazine, which is monthly but it's herd to get sometimes and i can't subscribe as i have no way to (and it's not worth the cost)
lol, no, seriously, its difficult for me to keep up-to-date with new games, since i'm not always on the net
At least WoW doesn't hurt other people.satchmo is perfectly correct. He is doing something he enjoys, it hurts no-one and it makes him happy at the end of the day, even if his day ends at 6am...
lol 
I do like my consoles (Playstation only, had Xbox, it sucked), ATM they kick the shit outta my laptop. And i didn't know L4d was my Valve, i will definetly get it on PC now...
And i don't know about Project Origin, it's not very close to it's roots, so i heard

Yeah, i wanna get left4dead but it's not on the PS3, damn. i'll have to get the PC version. AS for some of those:
Tomb Raider: Underworld (nah really used to be into Tomb raider but not anymore, looks sweet though)
Prince of Persia (oh yeah, forgot this one)
And I'm looking forward to 'Damnation'
Don't ban me but its a real game that looks real cool thats not being very well advertised...

Dead Space
Killzone 2
Gears of War 2
(P.S. you can thank penguinboy for this thread!
lol)

and thats about it. I have about 10 PS3 games i have bought and not played yet so i am gonna try to catch up. ATm i am bashing at Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction

that won't work. instead, have the button target a multimanager that then targets a trigger_relay (that doesn't have a target) after the required delay and also make the button target a trigger_changetarget to change the button's target. Make it also target a second trigger_changetarget that tells the trigger_relay to target the desired entity. When pressed again, the changetarget changes the button to target another trigger_changetarget. When pressed a second time, the button targets a trigger_changetarget, that targets the trigger_relay to target nothing.
I agree, moddb is not that great. It's linked to filefront anyway so you might as well go there.
http://software.filefront.com/Half+Life_Information/;41;/software_information.html
you can get a much wider list of mods out there

It is coming along. Slowly, unfortunetly, but it is coming. I have temporarily stopped mapping because of the current compo but a short beta version is coming soon. Now that i have the Steam version of HL and detailed textures and we found some good hi-def Half-life textures so we are also going back over the maps to update them.
On another note, if you know any good Half-Life coders who have Microsoft Visual NET 2003. Please let me know. I have kinda reached my capabilities without help from other coders.

3. Is it ok if one of my maps contains two or more .bsp files (linked together with trigger_change levels)?
3. No problem at all.I'm glad to hear that 'cause i'm up to map 5!!
Well, because it's 9pm GMT, that makes it 5.00 AM here and I won't get be able to get on the net. I tried the CSS server while no-one was on it and I had 100+ ping so you probably won't want me on the server.

Instead of sims, you should use Spore and create everyone as mutant beings...lol! Still, keep up this time as i find this thread quite interesting......
Thanks. I know how you guyz feel. I've got a full time job and doing studies at the same time so to make the extra time for mapping i'm cutting back on sleep, who needs it anyway???
or you could just give me the prize because you know that theoretically i'd own the lot of you.lol, those are big words Penguin!!! If it's in Europe i don't think i'll get good ping in Oz, such a shame, i'd love to kick some TWHL ass
I've done a killing so far. I have spent the last 3 days non-stop mapping from 8.30am till 6pm (minus 30 minutes for eating and toilet time). I have also created my most compilcated entity setup ever:

This is for a very simple (yeah right) laser puzzle using mirrors to bounce differently coloured lasers into the correct portal.
Here are some map pics: (note that these are using detailed textures and I have the TRON glow mod loaded)

Moddb is also a good one
(even though is is part of filefront)

scaling up a texture DOES improve performance. Every time a texture tiles, it chops that face. So if you have a 64x64 texture on a 128x128 face it will chop it inoy 4 faces. Scaling up will stop this from occuring and instead chop 128 unit squares.
Thats a bit of the long-winded way. Just create a func_pushable. All solid entities block lasers, even players and monster so if someone pushes a func_pushable in the way of the beam it blocks it. If you don't want a pushable to break, don't check the 'breakable' flag! 
LINK IT PLEASE!!! I wanna look!!
