I'm making a fairly complex outdoor map, such that it sadly has to have a skybox hollowed all around it, but if i use the ZHLT null texture on all the faces that aren't seen will that improve the compile time etc?
sweet jesus what has happened...i'm not going to point fingers, largely because you can't see them, but certain forum regulars are guilty of quite the worst nerd offences in the history of computing
ooh that room made me mad...but i'm getting used to the style of playing that you have to run away until they follow you into an ambush every time. otherwise, its great
damn you, pepper - I downloaded the gate and almost went insane with rage at the difficulty, like the fact that the enemies can shoot at you through objects you can't see through with an accuracy greater than your weapon has. the rage...building...rrrrrrrRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apart from the obvious, what are everyone's fav games? Mine are soldier of fortune 2, medievil total war, UT, driver, combat flight sim, grand prix 4, heretic 2
going back to the point, it would help you a lot if you used wally or something to trim those textures down to exactly what you need rather than having corners everywhere, especially as it sounds like you making something with a lot of snowyness in.
Sorry to refer to this hornet's nest, but i've spent lots of time searching and tweaking my setup, and when i run spirit maps none of the spirit features work (no error messages). i think that it could be because it's trying to run through normal hl but i can't see why that should be.
What are the best paint programs that are free to download or trial? I'm thinking of paint shop pro and adobe don't seem too keen to give me photoshop for free. I mainly need one to make simple environment maps or modify existing images with features i can't find in things like microsoft photo editor.
if he was really talking about the multi-barreled automatic mortar that can fire in variable salvos and looks like a big white box, fair enough. But a vulcan cannon is a 20mm rotary cannon designed as an anti aircraft weapon, either carried in an aircraft or radar controlled and mounted on a ship/vehicle. http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/equip/m61.htm
Please don't let "New World Order" be a euphemism for "ohmygod all americans are evil ohmygod they plan to take over the world!" and also, i was referring to when saddam kicked the inspectors out years ago and rescusitated US suspicion.
B-52 should only cost a few milliion, especially from a reputable dealer. Looking a bit further upmarket you could get a joint strike fighter for about $38m, or if money really is no option then get an F/A-22 raptor complete with thrust vectoring, stealth, supercruise and a superb weapons package including JDAM and AMRAAM, a snip at $99m. (Or if you're Bill Gates, you could buy a Nimitz class nuclear powered aircraft carrier for only $4.5bn, although optional extras such as complement of 80 aircraft and 4000 crew will cost considerably more.)
Ah, the innocence of youth. I'm only doing 3 subjects in this, my last year, one of which is german, and involves a 20 min discussion with an outside invigilator on such topics as unemployment, equality of women and the fall of the berlin wall. Cool, huh? And Seventh, you must go to a mangled school.
there is no ratio, just as said make a cylinder of x number of sides. Anything more is impossible within the engine constraints of half-life, or for that matter any polygon based game. (the definition of a polygon being a single planar shape that forms between a set of points)
wrath of grapes was excellent, I must say, hehehe. I always find joy in thinking of the millions of hilarious sayings in the simpsons... "Three, Homer, we have THREE children!"
i just read through all of those bloody posts who cares, no cool people are ever going to see this so lets just all be nerds. Even our presence here is a nerd sign
that's weird...sounds like your hl.wad is mangled. Make sure that you haven't got only used textures ticked, but if it still doesn't work try getting a new one from somewhere. To get the texture itself won't work, as it's not a simple texture but one that is coded or something.
