They look better than point lights. Read the tutorial on it (Beginners section, but oft-overlooked by many).
It seems you have to try and play the game to finish updating it. If you want to play CS, make sure you try and launch it half a day beforehand. The joy of Steam.
There was one map I used to utterly pwn at, but I can't remember which.
Twin 300s? Bizarre.
Not that amazing. Found that site years ago.
Already been complained about my yours sincerely 
I guess it'll be fixed sometime, but no idea when.

Nothin' to lose. Go for it
I was offering honest advice posting that page. While we're not as unfriendly as the hackers documented there, the same rules apply to phrasing your questions.
He didn't break them. He made them... more tricky to operate.
Was it a few months ago, someone called Susan?
Okay, I've cobbled something together. It ended up rather an expanded version of Where to start? but with more of a focus on getting people to look things up in the resources we've prepared rather than spamming. It's not final. Have a look at the Adobe Acrobat version or the Word version and comment!
On my computer, that's best left for the end.You should compile pretty regularly, even without VIS and RAD. It should be very quick without these two (less than a minute usually). Running on a 2.4GHz with 512MB o'RAM it only took about fifty seconds with VIS and RAD too.
"Can there be too much texture lighting?"Not really. Not at a limit it should be necessary to worry about, anyway
"How do indoor maps come to have very even lighting?"Read SlayerA's post at the end of this thread.
"Does light-environment have anything to do with a map if there's no "sky" texture?"I don't think so. Try it?
approximately what amount of reduction would vis create? 10%? 40%?Very large impact on the r_speeds on complex maps. You can't give an exact figure since it depends on the map. If the whole map is one small empty room, VIS would make no difference. If you have a huge map (like yours) it'll make a very big one. Note that hint brushes are 'tips' for VIS, so if VIS isn't run then they won't have any effect.
I can't help you with HINT brushes honestly; I've never used one myself! Although - sorry, link to a tutorial coming up
- have a look at this mebbe. Lots of diagrams.This article is very highly recommended by everyone. "Although for Q2, the concepts are identical. It is worth reading the whole article, and it is also worth noting that the SKIP support in Halflife that was added to ZHLT is not as robust.".
The last three frames are probably discarded.
Uh, no.
Wow, looks pretty nice. Is it gunna be a Half-Life replacement?
-when your jacking off to britney spears and you keep replacing her face with a head crabI sincerely hope that isn't autobiographical. Nor biographical in any form. Nor non-fiction.
Then you could have a red beam too hahahaaa silly seagulls, fell off the roof.
hahahaaa silly seagulls, fell off the roof.remember when i emailed you and you thaught i was a girlUhm. What? I don't remember that?
I'll mirror the map if y'want. Not gunna press my ISP too much since I already run an FTP server and a webserver uploading a gig or two a day, heh.
Okay, I'll leave this I guess.
Last post now. Any more questions, start another thread without mentioning Spirit

Ditto.
This rings a bell. I think it's probably a bug in HL I'm afraid; I've seen it in maps before. Can't think when though.
Heh, I'm fine with pedantic nerdishness
Oh, hold on a minute - free?
Cool. WON or Steam? Dedicated, permenant?
Sounds good. Then I might actually get a trophy!
#'cos I like, birds#
You can. According to everything I've ever seen on the subject.

No problem whatsoever. Great to have someone who bothers to type with punctuation and reads all the resources people've laboured for months building
The point I was making in my last post was that... it compiled okay. I played it. Some really nice stuff, like the crate-picking up thing. Real Half-Life stuff.
As for the reference to the lighting tutorial, I was just advising you to use texture lights over pointlights where possible. They give a nicer effect, since their 'radiance' is spread out, like a real light. You don't get infinitely-small points in space glowing.

I'm trying to find a new place I can obtain guidance.Stick around here?
Build Programs, Game Configurations. Read the tutorials on Settings Up Hammer.

Very odd. I ran CSG and BSP successfully.
Very UT-esque, long wide corridors. Some nice mapping. You should read this though.

Read this.
I think you can exceed this limit if all of the lights come on at the same time and are exactly the same colour.
Heh.
Very odd. Upload the RMF and MAP to the Map Vault, Problem Maps. Post here when you've done so.
How'd'you find that 'zacly?
Messes up a fair bit.
You're not allowed to. Has to be brush.
Cheap scum at that. Get a decent mouse.
How many Pentium designers does it take to change a lightbulb?

No, you don't group it. Grouping is RMF-format only. It's for mapping convenience. The origin brush must be tied to the door_rotating.
How many surrealists does it take to change a lightbulb?

Read the tutorials. There's still over a fortnight left, you've got tons of time.
Expect a tutorial on this fairly shortly.
No mate, I called that when I learnt Cap'n P was in
Your compile settings are wrong. Check them. Change them. If you're really stuck, post screenshots or details.
It's not by botman as far as I know. It's called LeakMarker and it's here.
I was saying "well done" to his near-1000 logins!
