The Mad Carrot
Yeah i guess that works. Carving simple shapes like 6 sided cubes into other 6 sided cubes works, but carving more complex objects like cillinders and arches... OUCH! Don't do that.
Carve, carve, carve, carve, too much carving but I'm okay and I like itYou can carve all you want but be ready to face Unforeseen Consequences...
Ah yes, that would explain it. You were probably not using developer mode so you never knew what the engine was telling.
You should always enable developer mode when you map and playtest maps so that you can read the console messages.
You can do this by adding -dev to the hl.exe executable.

Had a look at the problem using Teamviewer, he was clicking the mark button on the texturebrowser everytime he selects a texture. That selected all the faces in the map that had the choosen texture applied. All he had to do is just double click.
You want to cut a whole in the wall that is the size of the one object?
You can do that by carving the object into the wall, but as stated before, carving is bad. It creates a mess of off-grid vertices which can cause leaks and ugly cracks in the wall ingame. Don't do it.
Its better to create individual brushes in combination with the clip tool to make the hole you want.

Select the wall.
Click the clip tool.
Draw a line on the selected wall.
Depending on the mode, the left side is either red while the right side is white or vise versa, or both sides are white.
Click on the clip tool to select the mode you want.
Then hit enter.
Click the clip tool.

Depending on the mode, the left side is either red while the right side is white or vise versa, or both sides are white.
Click on the clip tool to select the mode you want.
Then hit enter.
You need to click on the clip tool button multiple times to switch modes. There are three:
Keep right half (white lines), remove left half (red lines)
Keep left half (same above)
Keep both halfs (all white lines)
Keep right half (white lines), remove left half (red lines)
Keep left half (same above)
Keep both halfs (all white lines)
Do not carve. Period.
The clip tool (not to be confused with the CLIP texture) is perfect to cut a hole in a wall for a door or window. Do that first, then apply the texture.

Make sure you add comments to your code so it can be easily found and transferred to my own HL code project.
muzz, I had a forum post saying that I got the cleansuit scientist working sometime earlier.Yeah i saw it. However, im not mapping anything so right now, this is a low priority.
But i still want those OpFor entities in my mod.
I know the mighty atom had done it in his uplink modTrue, it was done by another HL mapper, but don't ask me to do it. C++ makes no sense to me.
I do want that fixed non-healing scientist code...
And the desert eagle from Opposing Force...
And the Pitdrone...
The Gonome...
The Voltigore...
The Shocktrooper...
The Shock Rifle...
The Displacer...
The...
Basically, the Opposing Force enemies and two weapons.
Is the player teleported into a tight room textured with a "white" texture and lit in green? And then a trigger in that same room activates the trigger_changelevel entity to load the Xen level?Exactly.
Looks great, Urby. Win! 
Well, make sure you're using engine 2009 as the game engine for Episode Two. I know i am and the grids look fine.
Funny, i made my own little launcher last week:
Note: very basic.
Looks like its working now (Ep 2 mapping using 2009 engine, no mod).
Is mapping for Ep2 still messed up? Last time i gave it a chance, the grids still did'nt look right. That and a bunch of other bugs/glitches that appeared since that engine update a couple of months ago.

So do I, no issues here and i have UAC disabled and so should you. It's mandatory.
Do you have another computer nearby? If it has Steam on it, see if you can connect to the Steam network on that one. If it does, then the connection is fine and the problem narrows down to your main computer.

I think the functionality of health chargers (and suit chargers as well) were removed from the Counter-Strike gamecode during its development. In that case there's no way way to get them working, but you might be able to fake it using a trigger_hurt with a negative damage value.

However minimizing was kinda a pain in the butt. So instead I'll host each individual file separately.

Couple more usefully programs and utilities are available here: http://www.themightyatom.nl/downloads.html
Try this:
Disconnect your network cable and start Steam. It should prompt you for offline mode. While in offline mode, change the download region, plug your network cable back in, Restart Steam and see what it does now.

Im not entirely sure what you're trying to do, but maybe the func_wall_toggle entity does what you want. This brush can be turned on (visible) and off (invisible) when triggered.
Rofl, Pocket Tanks. I've played that. Fun game.
I think you can pretty much ignore this warning, you can still compile and run the map just fine with it.
But if you get more than one leaf portals saw into leaf warnings, you want to do something about it. Here's what Tommy's error page has to say:
Basicly this comes from an area whose floor is not square enough, square floor areas never give this problem. Note: often if there is only one leaf saw leaf in a map level, it can be ignored. So before getting busy, see how your map plays!
Solutions to try when you have a lot of leaf saws, or problems from leaf saws:
1. VIS -full compiles were designed to help with this problem, so the FIRST thing to try is recompile with VIS -full and see if it goes away.
2. func wall any brushes within the coordinates given for the problem, this will simplify VIS in the area because func wall brushes are invisible for VIS.
3. Move walls in the area to make the floors more square.
4. Put a HINT brush across the trouble area. HINT brushes cut VIS leafnodes, so they will reshape the area and may fix the problem.
5. Finally just start ripping brushes out of the area.
Fixing Leaf saw error has also been known to fix other errors in later RAD, like
FindTransferOffsetPatchnum returned -1 looking for patch 1570 in patch 199's transfer lists and other problems.

Monster_furniture works, as well as cycler entites. Depending on the model, the model is either solid or non-solid.
You can always fake a longer animation with more than 10 frames using any framerate. However it requires some clever entity work.
Here's an example i've just put together using 3 frames:
1. Make the textures (the frames).
2. For each frame, create a func_wall_toggle brush and apply each texture to one of its faces. Then name them:
3. The func_wall_toggle that has the first frame applied to it should start visible. The other frames should start invisible. You can do this on the Flags tab by checking the Start invisible checkbox
4. Place the following point entities:
5. Open the multimanager property window. Name the multimanager:
6. With SmartEdit off, add the following keyvalues:
The values here represent the actual framerate, in this case, 1 frame every half a second.
Finally, set the multithreaded flag.
7. Now for the trigger_relays. Here's an image to help you identify them:
And thats all. All you need to do is trigger the multimanager.
Note that this example uses 3 frame. More frames equal more entities (more trigger_relays).

You need to follow the line from blue to red. It's the red end of the line wich leads you to the leak. It may not bring you exactly to the hole that causes the leak, it end at the nearest entity (which is mentioned in the compile log). Look closely.
Also note that brush entites don't seal your level, even if they completely block access to the void (the empty space outside your level).

Play your favorite Left 4 Dead 2 mutations on your favorite campaigns with just a few clicks!
Something i came up with, thanks to saw1833's latest journal post. Basically, it allows you to play Left 4 Dead 2 with any of the previously released mutations released by Valve.
Simply select the campaign, the starting chapter, a mutation and click the Left 4 Dead 2 button at the bottom to launch the game with the selected map and selected mutation.
No need to waste time in the game's console to figure out the mapname and the mutation, just make your selections and you can play.

Enjoy!

I Googled "Half-Life Uplink Extended" the other day and found tons of websites that had a review and/or a download link to the mod.

You'll have to fake it by creating one beam for each face of the ring. The more faces your ring has, the more env_beams, info_target are needed.

No, that won't work. HLLP is mainly just a front end for launching any map for any game/mod from the systemtray.
You'll have to come up with your own.
Do you really need an installer for your mod? A simple zip/rar file won't do for you? I hate mods that come with installers as they leave behind al kinds of crap like temporary files, possible registry keys and whatnot.
I prefer to install a mod manually, by simply extracting the mod folder to the correct location.

Yep, that is one of my all time favorite movies.
Never played the game but THIS (11016*5776, 12.2 MB) is pretty darn impressive.
Yes. But as you may know, the Source SDK is a broken down mess. Im not implementing Source support until Valve fixes it.
After many weeks of hard work, i can pretty much say that Compilator 3 is finished. There are probably still minor issues left here and there, but the that won't stop the application from doing its job.
So stay tuned, it won't be much longer.

Update is pretty darn hefty.
How can you people map? The Source SDK is a broken down mess, with the exception of the L4D and L4D2 SDK's (i think).
You should've posted this in the correct forum so we know which game your question is for. Tell me and ill move it.
