I always say I'll get a switch to use my old monitor with both my laptop and my desktop but switches are strangely expensive :(

Maybe I'll make one myself with a bunch of DIP switches.

Not.

To put an info_player_start:

1. Hit ALT-P for the list of Problems
2. Find the entry for "there is no info_player_start in the map" and select it
3. Click "solve this problem" and an info_player_start entity will be placed in the map for you.

I always wondered why some releases of XP have "Start" starting with an uppercase S and others have "start" all lowercase.

To close the texture application window, you just change to the selection tool. It makes sense to me, otherwise you'd just be using the texture application tool without its parameter-setting window.

Maybe closing it could just take you back to the selection tool.

Note to everyone but especially Penguinboy: I absolutely hate splash screens. I find them annoying because they generally get in the way of starting the program for no reason but to shove the program's name and logo in your face for a few seconds before letting you use it. I beg you to avoid them unless there is a real need for them (such as needing to display activity if the program takes too long to load, like, say, the Adobe suite).

All the icons are clear enough as they are. Except maybe for the Brush tool, I keep thinking it looks like something related to textures.

The problem with making arrows is that you need flint, and flint is limited. Once you use up all the gravel (of which there doesn't seem to be a lot in this map), you can't make any more arrows.

Tetsuo, I think you get better enchantments from enchanting tools/weapons directly than from enchanting books. Books only get one enchantment at a time even if you spend all your levels, while tools/weapons can get multiple enchantments, of about the same level as the book.

Say, if you enchant a book you can get Unbreaking III but if you enchant a tool directly you can get Unbreaking III + Efficiency III + Fortune III.

And yeah, I have gotten an Unb III + Eff III + Fortune III diamond pickaxe in SP. It is probably my most valued possession :P

in Custom maps server Post #315226
Ah, CS1.6. Last time I played it, after playing CS:S for a good while, I was like "this thing has less detail than Minecraft" :P

I never played it since I have it on Steam, because every server I tried to join required me to have some sketchy third party mod that I had to download from an even sketchier website. It made me feel infected IRL just by looking at the download page. I just uninstalled the game instead.

I got good reviews in these maps, if you want to have a look at them.

In Hammer, I believe you can move the 3D view by middle-clicking it and dragging or space-dragging (same as 2D views).

My method for testing is to let my subconscious take over and be surprised when there's something that didn't happen as expected :P
In the vertex scaling mode, the up/down textbox always shifts value by 64. If you set it to a different number, say, 8, it will still step up/down by 64 and the next value will be 72. I was thinking, maybe 64 is too big a value and something like 8/16 would be more practical?
The above, in Hammer, scales only in the last 2D view you clicked, not in 3D (which is also good). Maybe there could be an option for that.
In the same window, if you click "reset to original", sometimes the radio buttons are also reset to "standard mode" but not the rest of the window if you had a different option selected.
I don't quite get how Bevel mode works, you bevel X units in which direction/angle? How do you control that?
I clicked "bevel" three consecutive times, this caused a "(not responding)" that lasted about two minutes (screenshot of the result). This caused a lot of errors in the list, clicking "reset to original" reset the brush to a standard cuboid but the error list wasn't completely cleared.
I can't set the grid size on the settings window, nothing happens when I do. Keyboard shortcuts do work, though.
Texture replace doesn't do anything.
I still insist on the settings window to be set to appear centered on screen because it tends to have part of it outside the screen.
I had a crash using the decal tool. Clicked the decal tool, then selected a decal, then clicked a brush in the 3D view. Clicking the brush brought up the crash report window, so you'll see the report. Submitting the report didn't close Sledge. This might be related to not having an FGD set, I've just realised I forgot to set it.
Error report screen still doesn't allow scrolling the error text, or selecting it to copy it. The error description input box ALSO doesn't scroll, makes it harder to re-read if you've written a long error description (I didn't, but I checked specifically for this). Make this window centered on screen too while you're at it :P
Nitpick: Moving the mouse out of the crash report window automatically removes keyboard focus from it (slight annoyance if you're typing in it)
I don't know what this is, but in nearly every application I use, if there's a text input area, CTRL-backspace backspaces the whole word (^W) but here, it just produces a little unknown-character rectangle. Don't know if this is a .net thing or what. Or even if anyone cares.
Clicking Bevel or Poke (or both) several times in a row causes hard processing that takes a long time but the results are pretty :P

There isn't, but you're in the Source forum if you're mapping for HL1.

You want a key that the player can pick up AND CARRY? Not possible in GS. The best you can do is what has been said.

1. I don't have a tablet and I don't care about having one. It's like an oversized cellphone that can't make calls (unless you use Skype but that requires wireless network access). Using other people's tablets hasn't been of any use.

2. Yeah, why not.

Also, I have a mailbox in case anyone wants to drop by and leave some mail. I think it would be great if everyone had one.
