I'm not dressing up for halloween, I'm gonna blow up a large pumpkin!
No, it clearly says in my book; No comprendo = I don't understand
No comprende must be "He/she/it" doesn't understand

Looks hot, I can't believe that works without lag
Hablo un poco espa?ol pero no comprendo.
I understood the beginning but not the rest.

I know how to make slowmo but not how to make it look good.
I wonder what happens if you type "host timescale" with a number above 1? ;D
I must try that

Negative didn't work but positive did, thanks. 
I have two questions which needs to be answered so I can continue on my "a la FEAR" map.
Both questions are needed to make a horror element in the map.
1.I know I've done it before but I don't recall how.
How do I make a func_door only slide half way? (upwards)
2.There are some neat commands and ENV's you can use to create cool colour effects etc.
Effects like them where used in - for example - the beginning of HL2 when Gman talks to you.
Do you know some neat effects you can do with the view using console commands and/or ENV's?
I know that there are loads but I don't know any of them.
I will use these effects for both slowmotion and horror scenes.
Thanks.

Why?
If the map doesn't have a problem anymore it will be removed from the problem vault and possibly posted in an other one (if the creator is finnished with it and wants to release it)

You can't take a picture of a wall and then use it for (for example) source if you want to bump map it because it will already have lights and shadows on it - >(unless, you are pro and can do something about it? :S )
I tried to make an example on this, but then all props and stuff started falling through the displacements in my map so I got pissed and deleted the whole project.
It was gonna include APC movment and missile, Strider movment and flying things.
The stupid thing is, I've totally forgot how to make a strider move but I think you set the thing up correctly.
Info_node_air and path_corner's.
A thing which works when APCs won't move is to add hints, so try to add some hints next to the path corners.

But you still need to pay something to get it. ;P
I wan't both.
FF: Team fortress clasic, but for source! And I loved TFC, and I bet that using source you can make old ideas come true etc..
TF2: Cartoony stile looks hot, and I think that the gameplay will be quite unique.

Something wichcought my eye is vent in the first picture, the light falls on it and it looks pwnerific, like if the surface isn't flat.
Lol, pwned
Looks cool!
Texturing makes it look a bit like FEAR <3

Perhaps you can set them never to repeat again unless triggered or something? :S
Lol! I haven't seen it before.

I think it is possible using multiple teleports which disables/unlocks by time.
Pink floyd - Summer '68
Come on, Mad, rea the other posts. It's used for radar cloaking.I'm a busy man
So, it will be used on stealth planes and that kinds of things? Neat.
Saw a sort of cloaking device a couple years ago. all it basicilly did was have a projection of the suit or something, It didn't look great, but could have military uses, hiding tanks, troops buildings, from overhead planes.I think the Japanese developed a suit filled with microcameras which where displayed on the other side of the suit, didn't make you inviseble but I guess it would be hard to see someone with the suit in terrain or perhaps "one colored enviroments" like snow.
Awsome.
Although I don't know what kind of use they will have for it (I bet it's too expencive for the military)

I think that they are for skinning CS office only, perhaps they are for mappers aswell - I don't know.
As I said habboi, I will ask him.

No what I ment was that I don't think you're allowed to use them for mapping.
I will ask him.
You "sound" offended, don't be :S

You can use whatever you want provided you ask for permission...OF COURSE you can use CSS materials in HL2...It's wrong if you use them in a comercial game.O rly?
So I just need to ask for premission, and give him a credit?
Perhaps Source can't handle that many lights at once in one room.
What's the distance between them?
Also, post it in the problem maps section so we can have a look at it.

Thank you all for your help.
I'm having trouble finding good materials.
There are really few good inside materials in Half-life 2.
Would it be OK if I "stole" from CSS?
It's also quite hard to find matching props, perhaps I need to do brushbased ones, and that doesn't look so FTW in HL2 but I guess I have no choice.
And about imageshack, bah, I can't help it, those codesnippets they give you are confusing, which one is the right one?

All looks very boxy, and why do the images link to imageshack?FEAR isn't very rich on architecture, and I am trying to recreate fear so it will remain boxy.
And about imageshack, bah, I can't help it, those codesnippets they give you are confusing, which one is the right one?
Post small screenshots by resizing them in Gimp for instance.In imageshack there is a forum code which posts a thumbnail which links to the real image
I don't know how to post small screenshots, I've done it before (as you can see) but I thought I copied the same forum code but instead I got big ones. :S
Prop materials? I'll change them then.
Ok then, I'll work on it more before I post screenshots.

I'm afraid that's rather ugly, and I don't see the purpose of sharing such early screenshots. They'll just get mocked and I doubt anything constructive will come out of it.lol.
At the moment, they're dark rooms full of props and light sources that aren't even lit (i lyk ur realism lol). Hell, even mcmitcho could do that.
I wouldn't have shown screenshots this early, but you've gone ahead and done it. I'd try and make something good and a little more established before showing it off.

Updated, now with cubemaps!
Some faces still go black for some reason - I'll try to fix it.
Now I've run in to an other problem with the intro.
No mather what I type in to the "hold time" field (point_viewcontrol) it just stays in for a few seconds.
I'm not sure why this is happening, and I can't find any output shutting the point_viewcontrols down.
I've tried to activate the flag "infinite hold time" but that seems to make the hold time even shorter!
Does anyone know what's wrong?

Remember, I listen to all of your advices.
Habboi:
I always click fit so that the height is correct to the wall, then I scale the width down to normal again.
I am really bad at texturing, any advice on how I should do it would be great, I'll keep experimenting with it.
But to help me, could you name the screenshot/s (1 to 4) where there is texturing which you do not like.
I highly dislike the texturing on number 4 and believe me I will change it if I find a better solution.

I was thinking that you run in to this large storage or, whatever - and then the slowmotion turns on, then it dissapares after a while.
I will also try to find that command which messes with the colours to give it that FEAR look if possible.
Matter of fact, I'm using the boring method which so many people doesn't like.
I make a room and then I fill it with models, because that's pretty much how FEAR looked and I love it.
Vibrant textures, okay so most complaints are about the textures, I'll need to think this through more carefully, but also, feel free to suggest a texture theme or something.
I'm trying to remake that scene which pops up in FEAR from time to time where you walk around and there is fire everywhere and you face these fast enemies flying towards you, not very hard to recreate I mean it's just fire in a black room, but it's quite cool.
That would be awsome!
And perhaps the security guard models, or something.
Edit:
I've got a problem with the intro
There is one thing that I've forgotten about the AI which right now is making it imposseble to make the intro.
Two enemies won't fire at each other if the player isn't around.
This can be fixed, I know, I mean there was plenty of sequences in HL2 where you watched for example antlions and combines fighting on TV monitors.
I don't know how to make the NPC_combine_s shoot the npc_metropolice when the player isn't around, does anyone know how to do this?
Edit2:
Fixed it.
I forgot about the flag "Think outside PVS"

Ya, me and Exos tried the bind timescale to a key. As he said, binds dont work. If you cant get a slowdown to work dynamicly, then its going to take away from the FEAR feelingWell, I'll take it as far as it is possible.

Mapping looks pretty nice so far. I must say though, dont use too much vibrant colors. FEAR is mainly about normal plain textures bump mapped like madThank you!

I really like that fire/combine scene. Very cool

Im just getting into character animations and importing them in game. If you started this maybe a month later (giving me time to learn) I could of extracted a FEAR soldier model, copied the bones from a combine into it, and then exported it in-game to replace the combine in the map That would be so awsome! Its really not that difficult to do. Only thing I need to know is how to extract models from FEAR, and just some animation exporting.We could try that!
That would be awsome!

Yeah I'm planning to use it when you'll get to battle with the "prototypes" (who in this case are the npc_combine_s while npc_metropolice is your friend)
However I have one problem.
I need to slow down the player somehow, not with slowmotion though because that also slows down everything else.

I tried to do this before with a client command but it didn't workIf you didn't get the host_timescale command to work you should check out Strider's example map on it, it's a really cool effect
This is my biggest map project ever.
I'm making a large single player example map about how to make a "FEAR themed horror map".
Basicly I'm trying to recreate all of those things that happened in FEAR, and on top of that I will try to make an intro (which - I must say - so far looks like crap)
However I'm happy about the map itself so far.
So in this thread I will show of some of my ideas and so on.
I also had to make a little story up so...
Story
You're a security guard working at a place called "origin".
You have no idea what kind of top secret experiments the scientists are doing but you have no reason to care anyway.
One day something happens, you are on your way to work and you find dead people everywhere so you decide to enter the building and
1. See what's going on
2. Save your friends
You enter the building through the roof.
To begin with, here are som screenshots, now remember, the map is far from finnished, so I would gladly listen to your advice on how to improve the map.
The map itself
Intro (I've just started on the intro, so yes, the second screeny is hight undetailed.
I remember what rimrook said.
The map was too dark but no matter what I do with light options or monitor settings it all looks OK to me.
So if any more people find the screenshots too dark then just tell me and I'll bright the map up.
What am I doing right now?
I'm trying to finnish the intro.

Just needed to add a little space between "Javascript:" and the code.
Cool.
How do you know that it is the end?

separate, as long as they are based on the same method or,, what ever.
I mean if like "otis" and "BlackOps" are totaly different then don't combine them, you know what I mean.
I mean that would be confusing.

But also, you would first need to write a tutorial suggesting what program you should use (and where you can download it if it's a free program which would be great) and also how to set it up.
