O-ho. The doing there has been seen by me.
Yeah, modding is purely a hobby for me. I would love to make money designing games, but it would need to be from the ground up.
I'd never charge for a mod for Source or Goldsource considering how much is already out there for free. Not to mention the hefty cost for the Source license.
You'd need to make something really special to make that money back, considering Steam's refund policy could very easily destroy you.

You see about Urby has baby and he hasn't problem with money? If he releases free games than he doesn't know about money. Haha how does it happen with Urby's baby? Baby need foods, clothes and going to kindergarten than school.Not sure if I misunderstood what you mean... I've never charged money for a game
Spirit of Half-Life has a particle entity (env_particle) with a setting called "Fountain" which I believe is what you are looking for.
If you're talking Vanilla Half-Life entities, probably going to need a lot of entity work with sprites or a model or some combination of the two. Not sure to be honest.

You can just use the "lip" field on func_door to do that...
Lighting can be a bear. The trick is to keep it varied. There's nothing majorly special in terms of lighting in my map.
I am sticking to the following however:
Yellow Lighting - Large Interior Spaces / Accessible Doors
Red Lighting - Inaccessible areas / Locked Doors
Green Lighting - Temporarily locked doors / Inaccessible Areas
White lighting - Exterior sections
Blue lighting - Small Interior Spaces
I'm also being careful not to have one type for an entire room / hallway, to ensure there is always some form of blending light colour. If an area still isn't too interesting to look at once the main lighting is in place, I throw in a screen or a small light just to add something to break things up.

I don't think you will legally be able to sell a GoldSource mod. Not without licensing the engine, if that is even possible these days...
I've been a little naughty. I am working on my entry during work breaks only, which is 2.5 hours a weeka at most... but I've been on holiday this week and kinda pushing to get this done. I've been on the Core primarily, but I should be done with my entry today, and if not I'm back at work tomorrow so will be done by next weekend at the latest.
I've only compiled a couple of times since my work PC uses Ubuntu so can't run any of the tools. I'll post screenies soon
Edit: Soon is upon us!
I should note that all of the custom assets here are remnants of past projects or outdated Core stuff. I have quite a massive catalog of unused custom stuff.

Those are some lovely hallways!
This video was shot after moving house. Half of our stuff was still in boxes, we'd lost the house that we originally went for because the landlord pulled out but we'd already given notice to move out of our old place. All this with a three month old baby and generally not giving a shit how i look resulted in my looking like that nine months ago.
What's the problem? No time or something?
I'm going to say software, based on the pixellation of the textures (unless he's disabled the OpenGL filtering in the console)
Well, what you've outlined in that second shot is a shadow, I assume from the lantern style frame around your light. If you don't want the shadow, you'll need to change the frame to an entity such as a func_wall
The .fgd is purely for how things render in Hammer / Jackhammer / Sledge.
It's to make things easier for you when making the map and doesn't concern other players.

No worries.

You don't need multiple entities for this.
func_rotating with the 'not solid' Flag checked.
Boom. Done.

TWHL Tower taught me that people are a pain.
Maybe there's a way making a texture emit light? Or something like that?Texure lighting? You mean the ONLY way you SHOULD be lighting maps in Goldsource?
In your compile tools folder, you should have a "lights.rad" document that controls the texture lighting values when you compile your map. You can edit this with notepad. It will have lines like this:
TEXTURENAME 255 255 255 2000
TEXTURENAME2 128 255 0 200
and so on.
Seriously though you using texture lighting for most of your map. Entity lighting in Goldsource rarely looks good.
Yeah. Zoner's is correct. Never would have got it.
I think it's been well established that any Source projects are doomed to fail here, so Goldsource is the sensible choiceI'm also just gonna put this here. Unless the Source team is gonna pop up with a surprise map pack that they have been working on behind the scenes... :rly:
I know it, but I aint talkin'
Yeah, I'm basically a God damn genius.
Modest too

First one is definitely xen_plantlight as DiscoStu said
Second one could be Source (sauce)
Last one... Not sure. Deathmatch?

Nope.
Perhaps expand it a bit beyond just entities? Mapping-related things in general?Perhaps expand it a bit beyond just entities? Mapping-related things in general?
Haha! Load pointfile!
(This probably shouldn't be this much fun)
Go bitches!

Monster_Alien_Controller
Haha. Love it
Haha. Love it
The second image makes me think Multi_Manager, but I don't understand the purpose of the juice.
Mua ha ha ha! Adding it to The Core as we speak!
Pretty sure you need to include the RMF there as well
I think I understand the issue.
The door will be lit depending on where it is positioned when the map compiles. If you want a door to start open, have it closed in the editor, then check the "Starts Open" flag.

Shhh
We're always watching
Looking forward to seeing what comes out of this. There haven't been very many WIP shots at all...
I'm pretty damn certain that people will still be modding for Goldsource in 2017
First drafts are due on the 1st of March
I've made this point before, but messup/troll mods are the cancer of moddb. Do we really need it here as well? 
I know I'm biased because it's originally my mod, but The Core is looking pretty sexy these days. Mostly Archie's sections
put 4 of the same ambient generics outside the fighting arena. tick the 'play everywhere' flag and it'll minimize the stereo effect.Ah, ghetto play everywhere.
We used to have to do that in The Core.
Don't forget to reduce the volume of each to 25% what it was, to prevent it being amplified four times.
Unfortunately it's a bug that comes with Steam Half-Life. It might be possible to fix, but you'd be looking at coding.
Yup, here's your issue
'Texture axis perpindicular to face'As Penguinboy said, use Alt+P to pull up the problems window, then highlight any of those error messages and click "Fix all of type"
Why don't people just work within Goldsources limitations anymore? If they aren't satisfactory, move onto Source.
It's like all those mods that add dynamic lighting, physics and HD effects. Why try to make Source when Source was a thing 12 years ago...

You should use game_text for maps for Half-Life, whereas you can make use of env_message and titles.txt if your making a mod. This means you can make small tweaks if you made a typo, without needing to recompile any maps.
"All Clients" flag should only be required in multiplayer maps. I've never used it and not encountered any crashes.
The only time I did get a crash caused by an env_message was when I was actually entering the message text into the "message" field, which was too long. This was before I learned to use the codes from titles.txt
Derp...

One way to do that is to make them in the same way you would a transparent texture. With a solid background color that becomes transparent in game.
Heh, I commented on this last night. Didn't realise it was your mod.
