Touché... If it is not in the liblist.gam file it should not work.

Hi. I have tried to use Wally and Pakscape to make a PAK file, and both two failed because some errors (lenght of the file, or s**t like that), I have tried everything but, since PAK files are old, I did not find any solution except "download Wally" or "download Pakscape", no tutorials whatsoever.
Is tehre a program that TRULY works? or any SERIOUS tutorial, not "do it with Wally/Pakscape, it is easy!!"... because, no, I repeat, I tried with no luck.
Thanks in anticipation.

Estimate Release Data...Please?

Because all stuff in the Zion map is made of cyclers. The map is not but a big container for all the props that made the map, I have used the way the scenes are done in movies. For the map de_caceres I must do a research, I have tons of old CDs and many of them has not any indication of wat´s into, but as soon as I find it, I´ll upload it on the vault. Of course, I can upload other maps I have, they´re quite big, and unoptimized, shame on me.

Me = Fucking idiot!! ahaha!!!, sorry. Thanks Admer BTW: Koe1 is an artist. I´ll love to play his (or her?) mod!

Its name is Zion Warcry, it is a private projec and iIt´s almost 100% done.

The new APU guns, re-skinned and complete (finally). Well, some parts of the skin must be completed, but the model has all pipes and parts which were left undone in its previous version of year 2015.

Natural Selection also did this thick for one of the aliens. The maps in HL could be really big, My zion map occupies almost all available space in the editor, and de_caceres (an old map I´ve done in 2002 for CS) occupied ALL the availabe space, and it did not cause much lag.

I mean, if DooM 1 were to be made now it would have glory kills, because technology!

Not so accurate. Brutal Doom is older than Doom 2016, which, btw, copies all the mechanics of Brutal Doom and, afaik, Bethesda did not mention the guy who created Brutal Doom. Correct me if I am wrong.

BTW: Doom Eternal is overwhelming in what secrets, easter eggs and exploration is about. And I love it!

Forza Alberto!!, Italia is suffering, I hope all this shit will finsh soon.

https://www.fileplanet.com/archive/p-68398/Jumbot-v2-0
Did not check the files, but the site says:

Code is cleaner and marked well for easy porting to mods/other code bases.

Maybe the SDK is there...

Will take a look at that then, as son as I finish the quarantine.

Haha!!, I can say that people here at TWHL are the most kind and lovely persons in the world in what respect and patience with newbies is about. I suck at what coding is about, but ALWAYS find help and spoonfeeding here in TWHL, thanks of that I did finish my mod.

Oh @abbadon, oldest member of TWHL-King!

Did not kow that... But I'm far from sayng sergeant Murtaugh's favourite líne "I'm too old for this s..."

Get the jumbot source and put the spectator mode in there using a tutorial. I am sure there's one because I have used it for my mod.

Hi, that looks to be source, aniway I got it "done", more or les, because even if you cannot see the letters you can still " select" those options. But this solution do the work.

It could be cool. I am a super fan of Blood and Clive Barker's Undying, and un some manner, TH reminds me of those games. Pity of the bad mapping, worst modelling and almost unexistant new code to give some "life" to NPCs and weaponry... Good luck!!

Advice for avoiding © issues:

1. Decompile de_dust.bsp
2. Take a screenshot of the map in Hammer or Quark
3. Create a new file
4. Use the screenshot as background in Hammer or Quark
5. Build the map using the background as reference.

It is the ONLY way to do it right.

Yep!, that´s what I did Pity that my lack of coding skills are keeping me from getting a true solution... Thanks UrbaNebula!!!

I gon it. I did just wanted to left crystal clear that the work is practicaly of WB, I deserve no credit for the things that are not mine. But you are 100% right, I have deleted the video, and the mod was retired from Moddb in 2017 even if it was on the site since the year 2006 or 2007, I can not remember very well. In fact, I never pretended to earn nothing of It, au contraire, also I don´t care if they take it and use it, only I hope that what they earnwith it will be used in some charitable association or something like that!! I was lucky of not being sued, as I can see, thanks for the info Oskar.

HOLY CHRIST!!!
DELETED!!!
Well, I hope they don´t get too much angry... I thought that tribute works are not prosecuted, but It´s clear that I am SO wrong.
Aniway, the mod is a personal work, and I give it only to people that ask me for it privately, and it has an EULA quite restrictive about re-distributing it.

https://twhl.info/wiki/page/Tutorial%3A_Texture_Lighting

Sorry...

Hi again.

I am finishing the 2D part of the mod, and I want to get rid of the CUSTOM GAME and MANUAL options of the main menu. I got rid of the explaining text, but I don´t know what file to edit so I get rid of those two options.

Got it. Please close thread. Thanks aniway

It works!!, after 2 and a half hours it compiled a useable avi!!, pity that I did read the quality stuff after that time lapse because at 8 bps it sounds horrible, haha!!, thanks Penguinboy, you should do a tutorial from all this information. I will re-compile it using 32 quality

Edit: pcm_s32le gave me no sound video I´ll try pcm_s16le instead

Edit 2: Eureka!! These are the commands that work. I have obtained a very good quality video with reasonable good audio

ffmpeg.exe -i source_video.mp4 -c:v cinepak -c:a pcm_s16le -vf scale=640:480 sierra.avi

Despite the fact that the Don Davis music was erased from the video...

Is there a command to increase the sound quality?

Yeah. ffmpeg sucks bad about documentation. I am trying Virtualdub but with no luck with the files I am working with, it does not swallow neither MPEG-1 nor MPEG-2 and so on. I am quite surprised about the lack of info about this element of a mod and the lack of knowledgement in the modding community aswell!!, I thought intro avis were necessary to know how they are done because the LOGO avi has the same format, and without it WON mods did not work.

ffmpeg need commandline coding, as I see. I hate linux for that... :/ Is there something more "visual"?. Like Movavi.

It´s been ages since I did the intro and valve avis of my mod and i forgot what I did to make them. So what´s the format, bitrate, etc. of those videos? And what program you reccomend that can do the conversion?

Nevermind. I did "almost" fixed it. Two little hidden lines of code were the culprits. Still a little glitch, buuuut, all is fine now. Thanks!!

Hello again. Hi have found this problem with the observer mode, the startobserver function in observer.cpp has this part of code that previously deleted all the content of the screen but the spectator menu:

m_iHideHUD = (HIDEHUD_ALL);

It worked fine, until I discovered that the code I added to make run clientside functions as seen in this TWHL Thread make one of the HUD parts still appear:I have tried several things in the server side on client.cpp where the code for entering the spectator mode is:

	////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
	// ARM: Observer Mode                                                                 //
	////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    else if ( FStrEq(pcmd, "zwc_cmd3" ) )
	{
		// Prevent this is the cvar is set
		if ( allow_spectators.value )
		{
			CBasePlayer *pPlayer = GetClassPtr((CBasePlayer *)pev);
			pPlayer->m_iHideHUD |= HIDEHUD_ALL;

			edict_t *pentSpawnSpot = EntSelectSpawnPoint( pPlayer );
			pPlayer->StartObserver( VARS(pentSpawnSpot)->origin, VARS(pentSpawnSpot)->angles);
		}
	}
    //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

With no luck at all. This code WORKED fine even before adding this part

pPlayer->m_iHideHUD |= HIDEHUD_ALL; 

In the other hand, the clientside part, responsible of the code that shows that part of the HUD, is in ammo.cpp"...

 if ( CL_IsThirdPerson ())

    {
		//Zion: Ocultar el Crosshair en Tercera persona.
		//SetCrosshair(m_pWeapon->hZoomedCrosshair, m_pWeapon->rcCrosshair, 255, 255, 255);
		gViewPort->HideScope();//No mostrar HUD en 3ª persona NUNCA. Cuando cambias de arma te lo enseña el joputa.
	    gViewPort->ShowScope1();
		//SetCrosshair(0, nullrc, 0, 0, 0);//new
		return 0;
	}


	if ( gHUD.m_iFOV >= 90 )
	{ // normal crosshairs
		if (fOnTarget && m_pWeapon->hAutoaim)
			SetCrosshair(m_pWeapon->hAutoaim, m_pWeapon->rcAutoaim, 255, 255, 255);
		else
		SetCrosshair(m_pWeapon->hCrosshair, m_pWeapon->rcCrosshair, 255, 255, 255);
		gViewPort->ShowScope();//Mostrar HUD nada más "arrancar"
        gViewPort->HideScope1();


}

In in_camera.cpp...

void CAM_ToThirdPerson(void)

	gEngfuncs.GetViewAngles( (float *)viewangles );

}

void CAM_ToFirstPerson(void)

	cam_thirdperson = 0;
	gViewPort->HideScope1();//Aim System Zion Antiguo sistema de puntería
	gViewPort->ShowScope();//
	gEngfuncs.Cvar_SetValue( "cam_command", 0 );

}

In input.cpp ...

//=============================

And in vgui_TeamFortressViewport.cpp...

//------------------------------------------------------
// Zion Thirdperson Aim System
//------------------------------------------------------
void TeamFortressViewport::ShowScope()
{
   if (m_pScopePanel)
	{

	}
}

void TeamFortressViewport::HideScope()
{
   if (m_pScopePanel)
   {
      m_pScopePanel->setVisible( false );
   }
}

void TeamFortressViewport::CreateScope()
{
   // Create the panel
   m_pScopePanel = new CScopePanel(0, 0, ScreenWidth, ScreenHeight);
   m_pScopePanel->setParent(this);
   m_pScopePanel->setVisible( false );
   m_pScopePanel->Update();
}

void TeamFortressViewport::ShowScope1()
{
   if (m_pScopePanel1)
   {
    m_pScopePanel1->setVisible( true );
   }
}

void TeamFortressViewport::HideScope1()
{
   if (m_pScopePanel1)
   {
      m_pScopePanel1->setVisible( false );
   }
}

void TeamFortressViewport::CreateScope1()
{
   // Create the panel

   m_pScopePanel1->setParent(this);
   m_pScopePanel1->setVisible( false );
   m_pScopePanel1->Update();
}

No matter how many modifications I did trying to add the code that shows and hides that part of the HUD I cannot make it dissapear once I use the server command to hide the HUD ( zwc_cmd3 that is in the commandmenu.txt file for the in-game Help menu). The Showscope and Hidescope fucntions are not in any other place but there, of course...

Please, help.

It works!!.The gunners now chase the trolley guys as if they "follow" and protect him, the only thing that I was not able to do is to keep them from showing the muzzleflash; of course no lightning is cast towards the trolley guy, but it is annoying to see the muzzleflash and hearing the shoot sound as they follow hte trolley guys .

Holy s**t!!!!!

Thanks!!.
It needed some testing but it works. For those to want it to use this code, it goes in the ATTACK function:

//==============================================================================
// Codigo para que ingonen a los Trolley y no les disparen CRASHEA EL JUEGO!!!!
//==============================================================================
CBaseEntity *pEnemy;

pEnemy = m_hEnemy;

if ( FClassnameIs( pEnemy->pev, "monster_trolley"  ))
{
		return;
}

//=============================================================================

BTW: they ATTACKS the trolley guys, but the laser is not shot anymore.

In this case I don´t want them to RANGE attack the trolley guys, instead I want the gunners MELEE attack them, well, that´s other history of the weird things I have to do for getting what I want

I have finally used Xash model compiler to obtain that result so I can´t tell :(.

No solid estimate on release.

Oh. I wish I could start to play a good new singlepayer mod for old HL again, and yours look brilliant my friend!!

BTW: I have finally finished the menu background map, it has all of the ships and the cinematics play as they should!!

Hi. I was trying to make one of my monsters be able to choose between two types of attack movements depending of the type of enemy they find. I have tried the method of FindEntitiesInSphere and FindEntityByClassname putting the name of the monster in there, but the result vary from the monster stop attacking any monster, game crashes to simply not working at all.

I have searched the SDK for sonething like this, but I have only found the

if pEnemy->isPlayer;

method that, of course, is not what I want.

Could it be done or I am exceeding what's do-able?

Estimated release data?

BTW: I have finished the GnosisAnd the last ship, the Shiva (remember that the Osiris was destroyed...):

Thanks!!!

Oh, silly me But, where can I obtain the mdl compiler?, the f****ng STEAM tells me that I must launch it to just install the SDK... I hate Steam.... Btw, I have this:

https://forums.svencoop.com/showthread.php/45003-StudioMDL-with-Texture-Shifting-fix

But It return the same error message...

abbadon can't just you make an "additive" type overlay for those bright areas and give that texture an additive flag?

I tried it. In fact the hoverpad has a separate mesh with only this type of texture (is a flat white 64x64 square), I tried to apply the additive and chrome effect but with no visible result, well, yes, the mesh turned into a greyish or transparent part of the hoverpad.

You can try adding flag "fullbright" in the .qc

Did not know that!!, of course I´ll try that!. Thanks!!!

EDIT:

 ************ ERROR ************
bad command $texrendermode

Bad luck this time!

Thanks a lot!, well I was trying several things, but I'm afraid this feature is only available in source
What I wanted is that the hoverpads of the Nebuchadnezzar ship look like they were emitting light. If someone can point me to a solution to make one of the textures of a model is fullbright in goldsource... =p

If you're talking about a model's texture, have you tried using the "chroma" or "additive" features?

Yes, both, but them gave me transparent meshes.

I don't know if you have played Deathmatch Classic; the player can shine and light the environment around while it moves, but I don't think there's such a coded feature in Half-Life.

Something VERY similar is what I want. So, that code is in the DMC sdk?, and, in the other hand. There was ages ago when I got that SDK in my hands, is it still available?

Mmm, and, is there a way that hte texture will not be affected by light?, I have explained it bad the firs time. I want a texture to be seen even into complete darkness. Like the ammo counter of the Doom3 smg.

I wonder if it could be possible to make a model´s texture to cast light. Is it possible?

I am behind that case. I'll solve it!!. BTW, it looks like Marc Dacascos in John Wick 3... Looks better than the other!

Turin?, Fíat ritmo, if it has rounded frontal lights.

Lancia Delta , what's the prize?

Looks like an old 80´s Skoda... :/

I love that!!!, looks very proffesional, Admer. BTW, you are using Blender, right?
