It's an alright idea, though TWHL does has it's own sort of unofficial rep system, I suppose. Most of it involves IRC
It needs more D:
It needs to be an info_overlay to do this.
Info_decals are good for small details which dont need a size change, overlays for everything else.

The lighting needs more of an angle now...The flat overhead light is boring. Get some interesting shadows by angling the sunlight.
The Validators - Hey Hey 16k
Only the person with the last post can edit. This is to avoid people going back and rewriting their threads, etc.
(If I remember, it's similar to the admin controls, the little 'E' or 'Edit' under your name on your last post.)

No, you can't. The corn is mine dammit 
It's just a hammer bug, blackravent. The VMX is created when you save so keep it saved and you're alright.
Make sure you're not saving with invalid solids and errors too.

Hey, hey, update day, what does that get you today...
Don't fancy that metal texture used all over (split the column up into three brushes, raise the two on the left and right and have an indent in the middle), that would look better. Like the tram and terrain though.
No problem =]
Yeah, in most games, actually (Source included) it will simply spawn a server and set a password or max players value. BF2 doesn't do this, so it will just boot a bot from a slot if a player joins and it will function like a normal map.
Only problem is that Singleplayer uses the 16-player mapsizes =[

There's no way to do it in the actual multiplayer mode, but you can just start a singleplayer game and have people connect to your IP with the 'Connect with IP' in the multiplayer menu.

Rename the .vmx file to .vmf and open that.

Most standard large/nondynamic props go on prop_static, most smaller ones like trash go on prop_physics/multiplayer, and that's really what you should worry about. Dynamic and such accept most models for special applications.
func_illusionary and func_brush are really the same. It's all personal pref I guess =] - func_brushes can be parented and dynamic though so it's cool if you need rotating volumetric light.
The models/ textures for the volumetric light, as well as effects/trainsky (CS:S) and sprite textures all work. Depends on which one looks good for your particular applications. And you can always make/modify an existing one for your applications.

@pepper: I know Unreal Tournament 2k4 comes with the PLE edition, which should also be free to use for non-commercial applications and such (and download from their site even.), and I think only a couple features are disabled. Good for a test run, aye?

Clip off the stairs too. If you have no clipbrush on them they'll get stuck.
A helpful hint, too: Maps * should give you a full maplist.

Keep it in the forum for now, and we can deal with it if lots of people do it or it's a topic of high interest.
I'd certainly like to practice my low-poly object modelling in some speed modelling stuff =]

No, but you can fake it with func_brush and a sprite or effect tex. The light tex on those models should work on brushes even if it's a model tex.
Heatmiser - Rest My Head Against the Wall
It was in GTA3 but it's quite...detailed and un-cartoony in SOF2 D:
I've been using 16 and 32 texture memory limits in some of my HL1 maps and I never got any problems. (I think one person couldn't run it.) These days it's really nothing to worry about tbh.
A cycler or cycler_sprite entity is the way to go for models and such.
As for max viewable distance, have you run VIS? Is your map indeed big enough to allow this distance to take effect?

And legs, and arms, and heads, and torsos...
They have blood decals based on hit locations, at least the enemies do. And you can't kill your NPC allies, aye D:

Put whatever you want on a buyzone. It's a volumetric trigger so it shouldn't really matter.
Hell, I have about 10 trigger textures, all for convenience as opposed to any real function.

"$surfaceprop" "wood" is the line defined in the VMT file.
Haven't noticed anything D:
Not really. The hidden room is probably hiding part of the level that it needs to be sealed off.
But in theory yes.

Make sure your verticies are all snapped to grid at at least 1 unit, else they get moved around automatically.

SpaG , How did you get that smiley of gordon Whacking A Headcrab with a crowbar , SEVENTH! Get that sm8iley NOW!!It's a modded HLFallout one or something. Not ours.
Journal posts?!?The real purpose of journal modding for us admin-types is so that we can delete users' journal entries when they're simply things like 'asfgsdg' or things intended to annoy or spam repeatedly. Multiple entries within the same timeframe can be edited into one as well. (This is also a user option, but it's rarely used.)SHIT What can I write in there and what can't I?
Write whatever you want =]
Seconded, PHP is quite complex. A single person can't just go "oh write this and compile this and save this" unless they're willing to devote lots of time, something most members of this forum really don't have D:

Source is a good engine, but all of the games/mods based on it suck right now. The only one that looks promising to me is Black Mesa: Source.Yay~
Ragdolls are always a little buggy, in every game D:
Black Mesa Research Facility.
I want that real life object photos -> game models technology in HL3 ;<
Nice to see you around, by the way, CP.
Half-Life 3 will probably indeed use a modified version of the Source engine.Notably since Source is so expandable in terms of it's code. Lots of bits and pieces which can be removed and assembled together. Physics and such will probably remain the same, while a new render pipeline can be added in.

800x600? Pretty damn close to 1x1 ;]
Yes, but those games are quite decent. Much more fun than HL2 if I do say so myself.
The base prop set is quite unoriginal over and over and over in HL2 maps, but that's where custom mods come in. Most of teh D3 maps I've seen are using the same tex set and they all look like original Doom3.
I think my point still stands. Source is a very powerful and interesting engine. Don't knock it for powering HL2.

Source is an engine, HL2 is a game based on an engine.
Okay, HL2 might have been boring, but how is the engine boring? Have you looked into the entity sets? The code? The materials system? It's extremely interesting.
I agree with Kasperg - What's wrong with the engine? If I had an old Pentium computer that couldn't run HL1 very well, that automatically makes HL1 crap?

As the beta version is different in technical terms, it does not function with Steam. Notably, models are a different header version, sort of like Vampire Bloodlines - They, er, don't work.
#3 Go into resources, change hl2_english.txt to yourmodname_english.txt and delete all the other wierd languages (saves space and you dont need them). Open this up, change all the hl2_chapter#_title things to yourmodname_chapter#_title.You need them to localize if you want other languages to play your mod!
Did you Alt-P?
