thats what i was worried about, the compile time being long. but its not too bad, and the maps coming along nicely as well.

"As for keeping it dark to start off with... is the hangar in a dark map, or what?"

yeah, just relized i forgot to check normal for VIS and RAD when compiling so things should work allot better now

of course you gotta have the "clunk" noise Seventh-Monkey and habboi thanks that sounds pretty cool

im trying to create an airplane hanger. and id like for it to initially be dark (almost pitch black) exept for a red button in the distance. once the button is pressed a series of spot lights turn on one by one untill the room is illuminated. but im having trouble with two things, making the room start off really dark and keeping it dark in between spot lights.any suggestions?

thank you, very helpfull

im trying to make a flooded room and im having trouble making puddles of water : any tips?

ohhh...heh heh

nah, i didnt make those pipes just took a screen shot of some from hl.i thought it would help people understand my problem.

your tutorial

can you link it, im lazy...

ok

thanks, i cant believe i didnt think of that

i have added pipes to a few maps i made, but i could never get them to bend, any suggestions?

i was using the light entities to try and create cool shadow effects, didnt work out to well though :

actually after i added light_envioronment to the level the problem went away

heh heh thanks...i guess ill read the lighting tutorial again and see if i can find anything.

any suggestions on how to fix it?

<p> when i step into the light the gun/gordons arm model turn black. its not permanent, it goes away when i step out of the light. any ideas as to why this happens?

cool

heh heh, id like to get better a mapping first

thanks, btw would i be able to replace these maps and switch them with levels that i made?

Can anyone tell me what folder the maps from half-life (single player, not deathmatch) are stored?

thanks ill try that

hope that helps...

ooo, didnt know there was one. thanks.

I made a few counter-strike maps and relized that the armoury entity doesnt let you place handguns in the map. Does any one know how place pistols in a level or how to spawn with them already in your inventory?

After noticing he has been seen, 3mil runs off. "Its getting late." he thinks. He heads to town, gets a drink at the tavern, and then goes to sleep at the local inn. Perhaps tomaorw he'll go to the forbidden forest...
