The question was if it's actually possible to have closing doors that also rotate with the elevator that are attached to the elevator. But the whole question was pointless anyhow engine wise it's just not possible.
Not with the standard engine, no. This is why more people need to use spirit. That setup would be super easy. :P

If you know your stuff when it comes to texturing, that is indeed a much better way to approach it. Gives you way more options. :)

As the others have said, this may work differently in sven, but all decals must be in the decals wad. It's also really finicky in that if you add a NEW texture info decals.wad, it may cause some decals to show as white squares. This is what happened in The Core at least. I think you can only replace existing ones.

If hard drive fails are hindering your mod, consider getting an online repository. Some services are free up to a certain size limit, while others you pay from the off but they have very reasonable rates.

It certainly helps with team projects but I've lost count of how many times I could have potentially lost The Core. With it being hosted in a repo I can pick it back up on any machine I work with. I'd probably use hosting for my next project as well, even if it's a solo mod. If you brick a file, you can go back and get a pre-bricked copy :P

If it isn't fixed in the official game, there's no reason to fix it yourself.
Do you mean"If it aint broke, don't fix it" because that's a common rule most people apply to everything. The thing is, as JeffMOD pointed out, some games are broken in places.

I can think of so many things that I would add into Half-Life 2 if I had the ability to model, code and animate everything. Not cinematic mod as such, just an enhanced version with new enemies and gameplay tweaks.

It would be interesting to see how DOTA2 handles character levelling, as well as when obtaining certain items. The issue is of course that it could well be using commands along these lines, since the "map" never changes during a single round and stats are always reset when starting a new game.

Having said that, this would certainly be a feasible option in a defence style game or mod where you get to choose a perk between waves as the same rules could apply. A "GAME OVER" would prompt a map change or restart, thus resetting the values set in the console. You would need to prevent people from editing the base skills file though, to prevent cheating.

I'd make the game I dreamed up before half life even came out. I think it was after I saw the e3 trailers for it though.

Non linear game based in a british city where you need to destroy a series of enemy bases. It had rpg elements such as an inventory system which you could use for health items such as food and drink.

in One Super-Sized Source map... Post #325468
I think the closest there is to a role play game on the Source engine would be Dota 2.
DOTA 2 isn't an RPG at all. It's more like real time strategy than anything else.

The closest thing to an RPG on the Source engine would be something like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. I don't think the levels are particularly huge though.

I already had an idea for a follow up mod. Only limits would be that the map must focus on ascending from bottom to top. Or even descending.
