While you can certainly modify the code yourself, you should seriously consider looking into Spirit when making GoldSource mods these days.
They let you set your NPCs allegiances, model, skin and behaviour. Not to mention all the other cool crap and streamlining it features.

Best bet for GMod issues would be to ask over at Help & Support on the FacePunch forum. It's where GMod lives after all.
Seems you need a ULX mod to make yourself a super admin.
Google 'gmod superadmin' and there are a few guides and forum posts about it.

That is so cool.
simply chaos at all timesThat's exactly what it was. An absolute clusterfuck of information with Dim on TS and that text window. I like to RP, don't get me wrong. I wouldn't have played MMORPGs for so long if I didn't.
But when I hear 'roleplay,' I think 'immersion.' I don't feel immersed when I move a 2D sprite around on a (hideous) board and get a text prompt saying "You are doing a thing."
It's a nice idea, executed in the poorest possible way.
You HAVE to use VSync in Fallout 4. The game speed is based on your framerate. Good luck picking a lock at over 120 FPS 
Welcome. Look forward to seeing more of your HRaFD project.

That only works if you want him at a keyboard though.
There should be another animation field in your scripted sequence. Something like Idle Animation? You should be using that for looping animations.

Not as standard I'm afraid.
Off the top of my head, this is the method I have used in the past. There may be some points that others can correct me on.
Fire up Wally and open Half-Life's decals.wad
Open one of the exiting textures and click the 'Colors' tab in the top menu. Click 'Save Palette...' and stick the .pal file somewhere you can find it again later.
Now, make your decal in photoshop or another graphics app of your choosing. Stick to greyscale and remember that the darker the colour, the more opaque it will appear in game.
Copy the image when you're done and paste it into Wally to create your texture.
Then open the texture and go to 'Colors > Load Pallete...', pulling in the .pal texture you saved before.
Then, click 'Colors > Edit Pallette' and you should see that it is a greyscale series of colours, with the bottom right being a certain colour. This is the colour that will appear ingame. For the blood, this should be a dark red, for alien blood, yellowish green, etc.
Hope this is clear enough. Sorry for assuming you were using Wally, but I don't actually know what else there is...
NOTE #1: Ideally, you need to use the filename decals.wad in your custom mod folder in order for the engine to refer to your custom decals rather than the regular ones.
NOTE #2: I would refrain from adding NEW textures to your custom decals.wad as this can cause issues in game. (Blank white squares appearing in some cases) For the best result, I always just replace the existing textures.

Slight issue there as well I'm afraid. I dunno if this is an old spirit bug, but teleported NPCs don't always appear right away.
They are there, and can attack you, but their model doesn't render for a few seconds.
To be honest, I would love to see a Spirit 2.0 release with all of the bugs ironed out. They broke a lot of stuff in the later versions. There are even a couple of errors in one version due to a couple of sections of the code not being closed. Hammer seems to be OK with it, but JackHammer and Sledge can throw out errors in the console.

I'm not going to lie. Every single one of my Fallout 4 sessions has ended with me looking at my watch and saying "Whoa, shit!"
As usual, I may have spent FAAAR too long in the character creation screen...

There is indeed an issue with the alien grunt attack sounds in spirit. Furthermore, if you plan on changing the player movement sounds, bear in mind that the ladder sounds are used for alien grunt footsteps.
We had these issues with The Core. I would send you our fixed DLLs but, we have made... other changes
Both issues are resolved by finding the following in agrunt.cpp:
As for the monster maker velocity issue, I'm well aware of it, but never looked into it. All I can suggest is that you enter a low value such as '1' in the velocity field of the entity.
As for the alertness, I have only seen this when the entity already was in place prior to switching to Spirit. I resolved it by remove the monster_maker and recreating it.

void CAGrunt :: InitialiseSounds()Then, adding the following to the bottom of the list
pStepSounds[0] = "agrunt/ag_step1.wav";I should point out that none of the above files actually existed in the agrunt sound folder. I added them to keep them all in one place.
pStepSounds[1] = "agrunt/ag_step2.wav";
pStepSounds[2] = "agrunt/ag_step3.wav";
pStepSounds[3] = "agrunt/ag_step4.wav";
pFireSounds[0] = "agrunt/ag_fire1.wav";
pFireSounds[1] = "agrunt/ag_fire2.wav";

My sleep pattern is all to fuck since Fallout 4 came out... I love it.
For all the hype, it is by no means a PERFECT game and they have made some really dumb decisions. Nothing a few mods can't fix.

It's certainly possible, but a little tricky.
You need six 256x256 pixel .TGA images in 256 colour format, as follows:
skyup.tga - Directly upwards
skydn.tga - Directly downwards
skyft.tga - Front face (North)
skyrt.tga - Right face (East)
skybk.tga - Back face (South)
skylf.tga - Left face (West)
Where 'sky' is the name of the skybox that you would enter into Hammer's map properties. The tricky part is making sure they all fit together without warping the perspective.
It is usually best achieved through 3D modelling as the perspective can be difficult to emulate. Take a look at some photosphere images online for example.

It's not taking a back seat by any means. It's still my main priority after family, but there are times when I have to chose between polishing TWHL Tower or The Core.
What I'm getting at is with TWHL Bakurai, the only thing I had relating to it on my PC was the logo I made for this thread.

Ah ok. No point if it's a headset mic. Haha
Hey guys. Maybe don't worry about this one so much. Perhaps it was too soon to call another gathering for a project like this.
I know I said I was going to take a back seat on this, but to be honest while staying true to the metaphor, I'm actually in a folding chair somewhere outside the gathering... You know?
I'm going to continue to polish TWHL Tower, bit by bit, and then focus on The Core a lot more.
I do like this concept though, and I intend to pick it up again in future, so don't throw away what you have. I also have other ideas that I think would make cool map packs.

In that case, Formula SnC this weekend? 
Desperately need a pop shield for your mic. Otherwise, pretty funny.
It's the bottom option under the Home menu tab at the top. Should take you to a form where you can fill in your details.
I'm sure Phillip will pick up your mod soon regardless, because he's mentioned it in a couple of his podcasts. Still, not a bad idea to send it direct.

Heh, Fallout is going to be a major time sink, but I don't mind delaying the tourney for a week or two. I'll still be there if not just for the banter.
And, Urby...go easy on me...The review is written out and the footage is recorded. Just need to do the audio and the editing.
That's all I'm going to say.
With it being a Saturday night, I can confirm that the other SnC Guys have no issue starting at a time better suited to the Aussies. We've basically been doing that anyway since Ant clamped on to us...
I can't really start gaming until 10pm GMT anyway, since my daughter doesn't settle until 8pm and I spend the following two hours tidying up after her...

Sooo... is this still happening this weekend? Did we settle on a game / time?
Halloween falls on my niece's birthday so the last few years it's just been a birthday party with some Halloween twists.
Not this year though. She's 4 and wants to go trick or treating, so I'll be sitting in the dark, ignoring the doorbell and waiting for the Half-Rats: A Fever Dream download link to appear.

Sure thing, I'll take a look.
I'm on the fence about recording the next one. This one alone was five hours of footage that maxed out my HDD, and took 7 months to edit...
With Fallout 4 out on the 10th, it doesn't bode well for anything being done.

Today's TWHL Tower update
Tetsu0's Floor:
Tetsu0's Floor:
- Fixed grunt escape sequence so that the grunt will ALWAYS bust the glass
- Swapped out the cycler entities for Spirit's env_model and corrected the file paths
- Added sprite to keycard pickup
- Altered stairwell door so that NPCs cannot use it. This prevents the bad guy from running away up the stairs when fleeing.
- Increased size of keycard pickup trigger so player no longer needs to jump onto the desk.
- Added sprite to make keycard more obvious
- Clipped wooden frame behind the set so that the player cannot get stuck.
- Did a test run in Xash3D and can confirm the mod works from start to finish. Some issues with sound in places, but that's down to the engine.
I'll take a look, I should just be able to correct the file paths in his map.
I'd be up for a CS1.6 tourney as well to be fair
Now that I got the last of that pesky CSGO footage edited and uploaded, I've been working on this today for about 5 hours straight. Done a detail pass on the lobby, some entity tweaking on a couple of floors and made some minor cosmetic changes to Malle's floor to eliminate the guess work / odd behavior of buttons (which may have been a vanilla to spirit transition problem).
A lot of the other floors are pretty straight forward in terms of the tweaks you guys listed, so i should be able to get this released tomorrow, otherwise some time during the week.

I literally only play CSGO when there's a TWHL event on... Money well spent...
In saying that, I DO intend to start mapping for it once The Core is done in 2053

I would say that if you aren't able to give the correct credit where it's due, it shouldn't be included. Sorry.
I've got a massive .zip archive full of models which I was hoping to use in my own project, but none of them are credited, so the whole thing is useless to me.

Do you not like CSGO? Or do you just not own it. It's pretty cheap.
How's everyone doing with this one then? Any progress? Anyone losing interest? 
CSGO is fine with me. So I agree with the fucking dirty spy, claiming to be Ant.
Final part. Get it in ya face
That's your lot. That's all the footage condensed down into five easily digestible chunks.
Now leave me be until the next tournament starts.

Highlights from the fourth Hour out of five
Things are starting to get a little heated in the TeamSpeak channel at this point. It's getting late for the Brits, who are only getting more drunk with each passing hour, Dimbark is STILL talking and a wild Ant appears.
Considering editing the last hour today... I'll let you know how I get on with that...

I'm well up for that. Both of those. I've got a week off after today so I'll try and get the last of the CSGO footage online.
Also, that's only 3 days before Fallout 4. Woop woop!

I highly doubt it will be on Steam, because EA Games.
I approve
Well, I guess I'm very surprised...
Edited the thread title for you. However, I'm going to be brutally honest. I'd be very surprised if these maps even exist any more. Two of the three members who submitted those maps no longer visit TWHL.
Heh, I wasn't sure what to expect. Not a massive fan of Star Wars but I always enjoy open combat games. Plus, it's free this weekend so... fuck it.
Trying out this little game called Star Wars Battlefront. I doubt anyone has heard of it... It's quite pretty.
It's really up to you at the end of the day, but I was just pointing out the facts. Vehicle headlights are powerful beams as they need to show the way. The tail lights are just meant to be noticeable.
Those are some high beam tail lights! Maybe tone those down a little, and switch to regular point lighting rather than spotlights. They're fine for headlights, but tail lights should be more red and less intense. Just my two cents.
