a) Thats just disapointing...

b) um.. How do I empty the logon wave file? I mean, whats it called?

I'll just believe it is to ease my mind

I made an Ambient Generic, and have some unwanted effects I want to get rid of:

• I want to hear it everywhere, instead of having to turn in its origional direction.

• I want the HEV suit talking thing not talk and interupt my sound

lol, behind the bookcase is:

A TRAIN STATION!

Its doesn't have to be Black Mesa! maybe he just has a quick rought to Black Mesa by a train, and to be able to work there, his house is built in the same deserted desert!

well, just don't change it, cause I've already started

okay... I'll ignore the sound.

My music will be too loud to hear it, muhaha.

Muzzel, I think you do whatever you want.

That did not work...

When the crowbar is hit against the clip brush, it makes a noise like you hit metal.

Any other suggestions to get rid of this?

no, I just don't want the player to walk right off the cliff

plus, there are places I don't want the player to go.

I think I found an alternate solution...

A series of these invisible brushes, placed like a jail's bars, 1 by 1, in a row just small enough apart so the player cannot get through. I'll see how this does, although it might kill my r_speeds...

I sometimes get problems where a brush entity has not been specified to a specific brush... meaning its like a floating entity. Good thing Hammer comes equiped with the Entity Report tool, otherwise there is no way to track them down.

Be specific when creating your entities. Make sure every one has been looked over carfully. I good way to keep your maps error free is to be careful not to get sloppy while mapping.

Does the train have to be the Black Mesa train Gordon rides in on the day of the residence cascade?

I would like to make a different kind of train... I know this spoils it a litte, but can I have the train crash right into his living room?

I'm going to have a few maps if terrain until you finnaly get to the house... Will this part be considered during judging?

Alright then

Shuter down Seventh...

Headcrab love...

no.. the Headcrabs do not mate..

I believe they are a-sexual.

You've gotten to Doorways!!!

I'm still working on the terrain!

Also sometimes I think im awake and i see something real strange and then i have to shake my head really hard a few times to make it go away. Kinda like im awake but my eyes are still asleep.

Thats the thing... I did that... and I still saw it.

A toy plane???

You know... I've never really seen SlayerA. He left before I even came here.

Whats he like?

no.... The Big-Momma has to be Male, since it has one giant testicle...

I don't drink, and I don't do drugs... try again

Smores,

Try and create an origional map. It's much more satisfying than copying someone else's idea. Lets face it, leagability really has no place on the internet, but if there is ever a question of it, just don't do it.

I want to make a wall that:

• The player can see through

• The player cannot go through

• When hit with a crowbar, does not make a noise

• When shot, does not leave floating bullet hole

I know I did this before, but honestly I forgot.

just don't...

Trapt! Thats great! aahaha!

I have another question.

I've never done a TWHL compo, and I have to ask... can we make it a minimod with multiple maps in it?

I don't feel I can make the exterior of the house and the interior in one map, while creating a suitable terrain.

The only one there I would include would be the Gordon one.

btw, new smilie:

lol, I won't get one of those... I'm the one who needs the help

Thats neat

Wow, that Seventh-Test is quite a good guy!

Our plane was well above the clouds... The black object I saw was down near them. I really couldn't imagine how anything could travel so fast...

I guess you had to see it. I knew it was far away, because it was so small... and it took a few seconds for it to go out of site.

Mister Chow.... It was no hallucination, because after I noticed it, I straightened up, was fully awake, and watched it go across the sky. I absolutely knew that I saw something, of course as seventh said, it probably was just another plane, but obviously not a commercial.

That is exactly what I meant

The crow might symbolize him as Shakespear or something, lol.

It might symbolize hes evil...death...errrg....

I understand that extraterrestrial UFO sitings are just fancy Graphic Arts, but I had to wonder if there really was something in our atmosphere, moving through the skys, that we don't know about.

You are probably going to think I'm insane, but, I was travelling from Florida to O'Hare airport after visiting relatives during June. I was half-asleep, seeing that there was no-one on the plane that I knew. Looking out the window, I noticed something. It was like an object, moving across the clouds. The plane was well above the clouds, and I'm sure it wasn't the plane's shadow, since the sun was not on the opposite direction. It was like a black sliver. I noticed it with my head sideways, and thought it was just another plane traveling in another direction. Then, I realized something; it was moving faster than anything I have ever seen. I straightened up, and focused out the window. It was moving, and it was some kind of object. I could tell that it was solid, not just a shadow. It moved faster than anything I have ever seen! It was pretty small, whatever it was, and moved across the top of the clouds, and disapeared under them. It was not a place, and it was dark black.

Now after seeing that, I sat on the plane and tried to figure out what I saw. The first thought was that it was another plane... but no, it traveled too fast, and was dark black. Then I thought it was the shadow of the plane. At the way we were moving upward, it could have shone down into the clouds and gone faster than the plane... but the sun was not on the right side of the plane to do that, since we were traveling north, and I was on the right side, and it was before 11:00 am.

so, obviously, the thought hit me: "ALEINS!!!"

I'm sure it wasn't "aliens" though. I didn't tell anyone I know, becuase obviously they would just grin and laugh at me, so I'll ask you guys about this. What do you think I saw?

Thats pretty good!

If you want to make these more interesting, focus on more serious dialouge.

Habboi! You have a Brain!

One of the TVs that I saw had Gman on it standing at a poteum or something... It was for a split second, then it stopped. Would this have to do with that boat?

hmm... I'm getting a much bigger error now.

When I click on a texture in TA mode, random other textures are seleted as well... some cannot be unselected..

Ill just redo that little section..

Thanks for the help though

that was one of the things I tried. I'll get a screenie soon.

Once I did that, it worked for each "row" of brushes, but each "row" was not aligned to the other rows.

also, one of my brushes, probably the origional one that I copied off of, has both "word" and "face" clicked, and I can't unclick either.

I know what it is...

Seventh has programmed a code that will unlock our own personal meaning of life! I can't wait!

Everything you find is pretty much an easter egg, or put their for the gamer's own pleasure.

Still, pretty interesting, and fun to find.

There was something in one of those "Sim City" games ages ago... I accedentally clicked probably some hotkeys, and a picture of a woman came up.

I'm looking forward to it Seventh.

Nothing big, means its not editing posts...

new HL2 vault?

just a guess...

This is probably old and answered elsewhere



but, I really coulding find the place

So, here comes the nooby question

When doing texture application to landscape, peticularly the triangle method of floor, how do I get my texture to line up? I've tried everything that should work, but its always different, but different and wrong

they didn't adopt the fricken Vortigaunts...

When the Nihilith was destroyed, those things around the vortigaunts' neck's lost their power and control over them. The vortigaunts must have roze up against their oppressors, since they no longer took orders from them. Some must have joined the humans in their society.

eeeheheheheheee

I see no point of smilies in the shoutbox...

Its just a waste of time.

BTW, love the new smilies, but I got a blank 1

Welcome Back Gman!

Well, Gordon is one skinny ass dude to fit in that orange suit... Maybe hes anorexic or something.

Plus, you do not nessisarily have to have an exterior...

There is a Tutorial on writing tutorials...

Check it out.

IM confused...

Its hard to do 2 compos at the same time, but I'll try.

what are you looking for iin this compo, massive detail in furniture and stuff?

Barney said that "You dropped this back at Black Mesa" when he gives you the crowbar.

I guess with all that tension... Gordon doesn't eat for the whole 2 days hes active. It is about 2 days right?

Mercutio like the dude From R n' J ?
