What's more, he made that model.
she has an ugly face o_oDon't let Rimrook read that!
You probably have the path to the sprite wrong in your env_sprite. In your case, it should be something like this:
sprites/yourfoldername/yourspritename.spr
sprites/yourfoldername/yourspritename.spr
Are you sure that rainbow is the cause of the error?
Also, func_illusionaries are obsolete in Source, use func_brush instead. Make sure you set the correct properties to make it non-solid.

Well said, Captain.
Just buy the game for $9.

Looks like he's using an illegal copy of CSS to me...
Is this about scenery/eyecandy or about actual gameplay?

See if The Mighty Atom has the Compilator setup for source compiling yet.Sorry, but i don't, compiling Source maps outside sdk is very buggy and leads to vbsp crashing and missing materials errors.
So for the time being, there's not going to be support for Source. I might give it another try, but not for the moment.
Sorry.
I took the bsp into Crafty and it looks like it's a Counter-Strike Source map, not a GoldSource map. Also, it looks like Crafty does'nt like this bsp very much as part of the world seems to disappear/reappear when viewed from certain angles, so don't be surprised if CSS is going to have issues running this map.
Just finished it.
Holy shit!
Too bad Dimbark had the fucking nerve to spoil part of the ending on Steam chat yesterday, so thanks a lot, asshat, after explicitly anwsering your question whether or not i wanted spoilers from you with a very clear "NO", you had to spoil it anyway! What the fuck were you fucking thinking!?
So thanks for that, i really appreciate it. NOT!

There's a Free Texture Thread, ninja, in which you can share your textures. Go ahead and post them there instead.
Yeah, but Urby had issues viewing the log file.
I cannot compile at all without HLFix enabled in the Compilator. It just makes that awful windows "dunk" sound and the compile window vanishes. unhappy -Standby for new version.
I just compiled a map without HLFix and the log showed up after the compilation process.
Hopefully it's now fixed.
Edit:
[b]Skals, Hunteh, Urby and Captain Terror:
Check your pm's.[/b]
I want to apologize to Urby for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Are you using HLFix?
Keep in mind that HLfix numbers brushes and brush entites differently. For example, let's say HLFix reports a problem brush numbered 50, and you go look for that brush number in Hammer, Hammer WILL NOT take you to brush number 50, but to a totally different brush instead that is not having any issues at all.
In other words, Hammer takes you to the wrong brush, just because HLFix numbers brushes differently, a different order, really.
That's one other thing that sucks about HLfix. I wish the shlt developers would take over the HLFix source code, fix it, optimize, even rewrite it completely and add it to hlcsg.

All Aboard!
Maybe you should'nt explain that to us, Daubeh.
Good to have you back, btw.

Are you using old tools?
@ Stojke: True, but in the Half-Life mapping world, it's common sense that aaatrigger textures are used on trigger brushes so that you, the mapper, can identify them as trigger brushes later on.
Whatever floats yout boat, really.

No, don't use any other texture for the trigger. That won't fix anything.
Take a look at this and see what you can do: http://www.slackiller.com/tommy14/errors.htm#badsurface

Maybe the brush with the aaatrigger isn't the problem. Hit Alt+P to check for problems.
I've already updated the first post with information about the error.
In a nutshell it means that something, an object for instance could not be accessed or could not be found.
Are you using the latest version?

Awesome, Captain, but the texture on the service structure could use some better allignment.
And why not use a different texture for the launch platform?

Actually, i created some Visual Basic .NET code to generate the vmt's. I specifically told it to use ASCII (which is ANSI) text encoding.
Yesterday i left that bit out and then it would always save as UTF-8 as UTF-8 is the default text encoding if you don't specify the Text Encoding parameter.

Fixed it.
Apparently, the vmt's were saved with UTF-8 encoding. Resaving them with ANSI encoding fixed it.
@#$%!

Could'nt agree more, Strider.
And if i don't get my custom texers working i don't even know im gonna be able to enter, at least not with Source.

I already have a virtual machine running 32-bits Windows XP.
It does'nt run on that either. :/
I will attempt Photoshop later.

Let's just keep this about visuals for once. I'd like to make mine with Ep2 assets and obviously i don't have access to those assets if i was to make a deathmatch map.
Im sure we'll eventually do the 1024³ compo as well. We can go all out on gameplay on that one so it does'nt hurt if we just focus on visuals for the currect compo for once.
Sometimes you just want to make cool stuff and not focus on gameplay. This compo is great for such an opportunity.

@Atom: Have you tried running it as administrator?I did, no dice. :/
As you already know, none of things you suggested in our Steam chat worked.
Observe:
As you can see in the screenshots above, i have a brush and applied a custom texture to the top face, but it's not visible in the 3D window. You can see it's there in the face edit sheet when i select it. Also notice the black lines coming out of it. What's up with that?
It's a custom texture with valid dimensions and a valid vmt file. It shows up in the texturebrowser just fine.
What's going on here?

Are you kidding me? I always thought Photoshop is the easiest graphics program to learnNot to me. :/
@ Brollo: Texture Maker does not run at all. I've tried many compatibility modes but none of them work.
@ Hunteh: I'll give it a try as soon as i have CS5.
Good stuff.
I'd love to enter, but i cannot seem to think of something to make. Argh.
Think, goddamnit!

Blitzkrieg, that sounds complicated to me. No way i can figure this out on my own.
Call me nuts but i've pretty much never really used Photoshop actively. Tried it a couple of times, and got lost in the menu's, options, filters and whatnot.
Yeah i tried it in XP compatibility mode. Nothing.

But it's also the most complicated program ever.
How is that feature called in Photoshop? Perhaps i can find some tutorials.

Does anyone know how to create a texture from a photo?
I've been Googling and found a programm called Texture Maker. One of its features is Texture Extraction, as demonstrated in these screenshots:
So i downloaded the programm, only to find out that it does'nt run on Windows 7.
The last news post was made 5 years ago so i don't this program is still being worked on.
So are there any alternatives of creating a texture from a photo like you see in the screenshots above?

Really?
Then someone should mail him and demand that whoever is responsible for the Source SDK to fix that goddamn vertices-going-randomly-off-grid glitch that has been bugging users sinse the first ever public release of the Source SDK!

@ CBrollo: Only the ground and the four studs holding the mobile launcher platform are brushes.
You forgot to ask about Half-Life 2: Episode Three.
Other than that, awesome!

Make sure you run "Refresh SDK Content" and "Reset Game Configurations."
Yeah, you can use an env_sprite and assign one of the other explosion sprites. Then you can use an ambient_generic and let it play an explosion sound like the mortar hit sound (i don't remember the name of the sound, but it's there).
And finally, use an env_explosion for the damage aspect. Make sure you disable the fireball.

Hey, what about the Map from Wad/Vtf compo? Add this one to the poll as well, geez. :/
Tiberian Sun works on XP. On 7 im not sure. I know Red Alert 2 works on 7, so there's a fair chance that Tiberian Sun works on 7 as well since both games run on the same engine.
