There's gonna be a texturepack for Source as well.

@Trapt: those look hot! Perhaps we can have a similar compo on TWHL as well?

Make sure you don't rename any prefab library files and folders and place them all in the prefabs folder inside your Hammer directory (..Valve Hammer Editor/prefabs)

There are also mini compo's if you can't wait for the official one. I've been thinking about reviving it as it's been a while since we had one of those. If one of you guys want to do it, go ahead.

in Problems with rendering distance Post #291879

Go to the "Map" tab in Hammer, "Map Properties" then go to the view distance property and double it.

This only has effect on the map ingame, for it to have effect in the editor, go to menu Tools, Options, 3D View tab and move the Back clipping plane slide to the right. This affects only world geometry, not models. If you want to increase the view distance for models, move the Model render distance slider to the right.

in Mutiple ?'s Post #291864

1. You can probably do this with the trigger_hurt, but the health display on the hud will always show 100 regardless. If you want it to show above 100, you'll need to code it.

2. No idea. Probably possible with custom code. Also, @DiscoStu: Glow a door? Who said anything about a glowing a door? Fi3nD did'nt.

3. Use the env_fade entity.

4. It should work, im guessing you're either missing something or you're using incorrect outputs.

5. First of all, there's no func_wall_toggle entity in Source. Use the func_brush entity instead. It's basically a 3 into 1 entity. It has the functionality of a func_illusionary, func_wall and func_wall_toggle. None of these entities exist in Source as they all have been replaced with the func_brush entity.

in :[ Leak Hulls 0,1,2,3 & MAX_MAP_CLIP Post #291377

Without knowing for sure, my guess would be a func_wall WOULD create clipnodes, because it creates a solid surface the player can touch, jump on top of, etc., where an illusionary obviously forms no barrier, so it creates no clipnodes..

Exactly. And thus it's pointless to turn very small brushes or groups of small brushes or brushes that are one unit thick into func_walls. Turn them into illusionaries instead. They're to small to stand on, what's the point of making them func_walls?

I would'nt say "bad", at least it has full motion video's which was quite a thing for the time being, especially for a game that was originally designed to run under DOS. I guess that if you grew up with these RTS games, you really don't care about the graphics but more about its gameplay and nostalgic value.

Hammerfest

Oh yeah, i remember that mission. The first part of the mission is annoying because you have to manoeuvre through icy glaciers in an attempt to find the base, which is at the top left of the map.
You'll encounter an Obelisk of Light on your way there, so make sure you find and destroy the powerplants first to kill the powersupply. You'll have to destory the side of the glacier to get to the powerplants. Their hard to find so use the cursor to identify them.

Once you've located the base, capture everything you can and build up a massive force of Titan's and Wolverines to attack the Nod base located to the south of your base.

It's ok if you only get a handful of the "Too many light styles on a face" message, but if you get a huge amount of them, enough to spam the top part of the compile log off the window, you want to cut down on dynamic lights.

in Map has hiccups! Post #290271

You should never name lights if they don't need to be toggled on or off. If they just emit static light, there's no need to name them.
You could also get the Too many light styles message if you have too many animated/dynamic (lights that flicker and strobe) lights too close to eachother.

You should use texturelights for static lighting and only point lights if you want flicker/strobe lights or lights that can be turned on and off in your map.
There's a way to make texturelights flicker/strobe as well, but that requires some entity work and the result is basically the same as just using a pointlight.

But i believe the too many light styles message should not cause hiccups, at least that's what i can tell from my experience.

Looks good, Joe, but i agree with Rimrook, overuse of caution stripes. Submerged.wad contains many trim textures that would make it look a lot better. You may have to use the Alt+rightclick method on all those sloped surfaces to allign the trims properly.
