Are you even using the Source SDK from Steam's play games menu?
You cannot use the ZHLT toolkit anymore - Instead use the VALVe tools (vbsp, vrad, vvis).

No, alex, you do not need the cubemap to run a map,And the world. It also calculates lighting for props.
you just use it to reflect the sky on different materials..
You can make any entity (let's say you make an info_player_start entity) and replace the info_player_start in the dropdown menu by typing env_cubemap. While the options may not appear for you, it will still function when you build the cubemaps.
Yeah, select all, then open the texture tool and resize.
Source textures are at .25 as they're 512x, so for qualitys' sake we scale them down. (Standard wall is 128, which is .25x 512.)

You should be all set with the SDK's set of tools.
That's coded for GM.
Try a trigger_wind or trigger_push or the like. (Make sure the boat is a physbox too.)

I'd wager some officialized concept art that never got it's concept er, conceptualized.
And it's from Gamespot!!~ Look lower-right.

They can be func_rotating afaik, 's long as it's not in the world.
NULL is in zhlt.wad but you can make your own wad, with any image for a texture in it called NULL and it will work the same.

HL1 or 2?
MAX or XSI for HL2, MilkShape3d for HL1.

I think 's the avatar.
I assume the bottom portion is used on an additive func_illusionary box of 1 unit thickness like NS light overlays?
It's...something from Gamespot evidently.
You didn't use the leet lightmap trick to make things look curvy, but it's spiffy.
Needs some sand blending into the road on the edges, maybe some piles too since it does seem abandoned.
Lights in teh bunker towers.
And yeah, lighting should be more bright for the sky.
Wuzzit for anyhoo?

CSG is obsolete with Source it would seem.
If your undo levels are low, and Hammer's clip distances are set low, there isn't much you can do, no. Try killing the explorer process and some of your other memory eating processes (You don't get the explorer GUI, but you can always restart it once you're done mapping.)

Optimize! Func_wall complex shapes, NULL hidden faces. It's trial and error, but make sure complex things like cylinders and arches are func_walled, and other complex shapes are func_wall as well.
Make sure to Alt-P too, just in case it's an invalid shape.

Aye, it's more for a developer/debug sort of environment I believe.
Yeah, it's far more straining. Don't know why, really.It mounts the GCF files into memory for quick access of materials and models. No more extracting!
Mmm, you won't be able to move it if it uses terrain displacement - Displacements cannot be on entities, and moving things of any sort are entity based. You'll need to use a physics model or make it a func_physbox entity from something without displacement.
You can teleport it in, using a point_template with some other rubble models might work well.
Normally for a mod it all depends, but you'll want your own mod subdirectory (Steam can make this stuff for you) and then include your content in maps/, materials/, models/, etc.

Er, add enemies for them to attack with the same give_ command, otherwise they'll just stand around. Can't attack nothing.
They can't unless you add enemy npcs. Even then, it's not a real supported function so who knows.
Nice start.
There's a few Black Mesas, though ;D - The one we play through is in New Mexico. (Looks a bit like this here.)

I may go thru MV sometime and just purge no-screenshot things without reason. Or I may not.
Aye, can't use the WADs anymore.
Um, this thread is so old it was created before we had an HL2 forum section.
Don't revive threads this old. Consider it your first warning.
Manually moving threads is a hassle, I'm going to just close this instead.

Closed, going off topic.
It acts as NULL but doesn't expand when generating clip hulls, if I remember correctly. Not a commonly used texture there.
3.5 has model support, 3.4 doesn't. So in 3.4 you get a bound box, in 3.5 they actually show up. Sort of a prequel to Hammer 4 in a way.
You could easily do it with just the sprite, if it's something the player will see as a detail and not a really important map bit.
Export to .map and open that in Hammer 4.
Rework the ents, add props, etc.

FX5200 works (I've the same one) but it's FAR from DX9 D:
It's 8.1 which -> bad

What card is it ;x?
Gordon will not get this weapon during the entire play not one into the hand, but but he has his Brechstange. Only Combine policemen run around with an electrical stool and roast each civilians thereby one over, which does not want to obey them.What Google says. No clue about making it un-googley
That's because we have leet fast internet, Habboi, they take unnecessarily long for slower users.
It's teh card -> 64mb for HL2 is bad.
(Do any 64mb cards even support dx7+?)

WCD< it was probably in the other thread I deleted.
(Infact I vaugely remember it.)
Somehow they became duplicated and I deleted one. Repost.

Spike primitive, most likely.
You probably don't, if it's not working (Not the latest version anyhoo.)
Get it from here:

(Download JRE and not JDK.)
Then try VMEX again.

VMEX does work (Tried it personally, works 100% of the time).
What are you doing with VMEX? You need to invoke it from a commandline interface. (And you need the JRE from the link it gives you)
Once you have JRE and VMEX somewhere:
Run 'command' to get a dosbox (Let's say vmex and the files are in C: drive and the map is on the desktop):

No, he's noting the 4 posts from you in a row. (I fancy the terrain though =])
Try and combine them in the future. (Occasionally one of us mods will clean it up but I'm feeling lazy right now).
Looking really nice so far =] - I'd love to see some more different angles, especially on that lobby area. Love the walls in there.

20gb is fine but 120's are pretty cheap these days (what, $100?) the extra space is worth it. (More music, woot ;P)
From the other thread...'tis a pain in the ass to combine threads (Unlike PhpBB, for example, which automates it, we have to do it manually). I'm not going to bother for a 'Stuff' forum post, so the duplicate is just [del].
@Seventh/Rabid/Andy: I think this and the other thread need to be combined.
I do have to contemplate Andy's post, there ;P

Steal the better Raincheck/Petrol ones (Nab a couple of the actual photos if they fit better.)
(Oh, and mr. Jebus - Custom content takes space, but it shouldn't have much of an effect since it's all precached.)

Just nab a 120gb HD. They're not too expensive, and you can hold all the mods, games, and tools you need. For a while, at least. Then you can pop another one in there ;D

Sharing brushes shouldn't really be too much of a problem at this point.
Make sure the wall brush touches the floor and ceiling brush (not a 1, 2, etc unit gap between them.)

No, actually, and I was sending $ to a mapper from Canada (We're pooling up for Xdrive FTP for BM:S.)
Just saying that if you're opening it worldwide, it's cheaper and safer to use PayPal than send things via post. (Though mailing stuff to Canada is inexpensive, Europe and the like certainly aren't. Might as well keep a standard shipment system aye?)
