It was already fixed in the code, but the glitch still exists in the default hl.dll file.

So you did'nt get the dreaded "too many entities in visible packet list" message in the console while testing?

-dev is a parameter that you can add to hl.exe or the properties window of HL in Steam, it's not a console command.

First, make sure that having too many visible entities in one area is the problem. Just check the console for messages while you test your map.

in Any fix for glowing func_door? Post #290012

You could also try downloading the latest toolset here: http://twhl.co.za/forums.php?thread=16333
It comes with the file zhlt.wad which contains the NULL and the BEVEL texture.

If you want to make the blue parts of { textures transparent, use the Solid render mode, not the Texture render mode.

Also, if you use the NULL or BEVEL texture instead of the {TRANSPARRENT texture, you'll get the same results. The only difference is that the brush that has the NULL/BEVEL texture applied to it doesn't need to be an entity, you can just leave it a normal world brush.

"normal" "1"
"nocompress" "1"

That should be

"ssbump" "1"
because it's an ssbump map, not a normal map?

But it seems to have fixed it, the pixelation is gone:

I have to say, the bump effect on that tilefloor in Striker's screenshot looks really good. Is it an ssbump or normal map?

in Post your screenshots! WIP thread Post #289790

kdunivan, what a load of ugliness. The bumpy effect i mean.

Assuming you aren't using VTFEdit, when you compile your texture for the normal map, create a .txt file with the same name as the normal map and save this in it, with quotations:

"normal" "1"
"nocompress" "1"

Then drag-and-drop that onto vtex.

Would that also fix the pixelation seen in my screenshot with the flashlight?

Also, did you put a cubemap in and build your cubemaps after compiling?

No. It's a brick wall, i don't want it to be shiny (unless it's wet).

Do you also have the difuse texture that normal map belongs to?

Is this acceptable:

It's a 1024*1024 texture with a ssbump.

But up close it looks like shit:

Look at the sort of pixelation. It looks horrible!

This source texture stuff is complicated.

You can make an ssbump from a heightmap if you use Valve's tool that's included in the Orange Box SDK.

Tried it before trying the SSBump Generator but it's a pain in the butt to use and it did'nt work.

Im using the 2.3 SDK. It's the latest, right?

As for the Reload code, it's already at 17:

void CGlock::Reload( void )
{
	if ( m_pPlayer->ammo_9mm <= 0 )
		 return;

	int iResult;

	if (m_iClip == 0)
		iResult = DefaultReload( 17, GLOCK_RELOAD, 1.5 );
	else
		iResult = DefaultReload( 17, GLOCK_RELOAD_NOT_EMPTY, 1.5 );

	if (iResult)
	{
		m_flTimeWeaponIdle = UTIL_WeaponTimeBase() + UTIL_SharedRandomFloat( m_pPlayer->random_seed, 10, 15 );
	}
}

Yet it still reloads on full clip.

Does anyone know (looking at Potatis, 2muchvideogames, ChickenFist and anyone else who know their way in the HL SDK) how to fix the crowbar and Glock?

When you try to gib a dead body, the crowbar goes apeshit. I actually like this glitch because you can easily gib a body if it's blocking a door or something. Still, i'd like this fixed.

And the Glock keeps reloading even if its clip is full (17 rounds).

in The final say on subunit mapping Post #289408

I've always believed that vertices that lie off/in between the 1-unit grid snap to nearest unit. The result is that you get cracks in walls, caused by carving a cillinder into a wall for example or you get deformed brushes.

That's why HLFix was invented. HLFix basically replaces the EXPORT TO .MAP feature in Hammer as it generates a .map file on its own. The major difference is that, as CStriker pointed out, HLFix exports a .map as floating points instead of integers which no longer causes vertices to snap to the nearest point. The result is that rotated and/or twisted objects no longer look deformed ingame.

However, there appears to be some compatibility issues with HLFix and the latest SHLT. Known issues are outside world errors and dissapearing faces.

So right you want to

Use HLFix to generate the .map file which has floating points instead of integers but in return you're forced to deal with possible compiling errors and disappearing faces
Stick to SHLT and not use HLFix to get around the compatibility issues between HLFix and the other tools but you're back using integers again causing cracks and deformed brushes due to off-grid vertices.
