there, all you people were bugging me about my HEVdog not having to do with my name, so here, my new, "name appropriate" avatar.

Ive been trying to start up my steam server, but It is hosting it on lan when I set sv_lan to 0 and set it to host on the web. I know that the fact I use a router is the problem, but I dont know how to configure it to work properly. Do you have to open certain ports or what?

thankyou

I gave a person my new map, coastrace, and when they hosted it online, the dune buggys I had placed in it were gone. They were there when I attempted to host the game locally, so what is up?

I was wondering how you can create a gravel path like in highway 17 or route kanal. They are completely flat in those levels, so I take it you dont have to create then texture a brush to do it. Am I wrong?
PS Ive already tried applying the tex as a decal, the one im using is overlays/gravelpath0a

Oh... Hehe, i wasnt running rad or vis!

thets the whole log! Maybe I do have a leak, but it doesnt say LEAK LEAK LEAK

ok, ill try that. And yes it is a standard HL2 tex.

Memory leak: mempool blocks left in memory: 49

The real long part about the tex and materials is what I am talking about. Thnx 4 help

im having the same prob

just get the cs fgd file!

Well, I have begun work on my new racing map for HL2 and I have come across a few issues. For one, the map is on fullbright because it says there are no lights, but there are and there are no leaks. Also, when I go to complile it says somthing about missing nature/coastline materials for the texture BLENDSANDGRASS0008A. It is the same texture used in a few maps on steam servers like hl2_rally and recing.

what about the electromagnet from highway 16? I know the entity, but is there any setup required?

what about making barrels and milk jugs and all that crap that is laying around?

oh thanks

I've been looking everywhere onlie and i cant find an entity guide, so i was wondering what entity you use to create an airboat or buggy. Thanks

I love HL2, but come on, everybody has said that it is easily moddable, but there is not a single pak or mdl or any file of that sort in any of the HL2 directories. Where can you find these files? I am mostly looking for the music and models. THANKS IN ADVANCE

thanks

mop, what is your sound card?

aight

THEN POST A DAMN PIC!!!

well then post a pic and i'll put it on the site

boy am I an idiot, www.freewebs.com/tbvmapping/me.htm

ooo, sorry

Im starting up a gaming machine section on my site. If you post pics, specs, and what you want your comp to be called, I'll put it on the site.
heres mine www.freewebs.com/me.htm

yes, when I looked at mop's "desk" i noticed how clean my desk really is. you guys have me beat when it comes to crap laying everywhere :

go to www.motherboards.com they've got a great selection and can help you find a board that can fit that processor. I myself would suggest an MSI board of some type, they are high qualitiy.

the pic I posted takes a while to load, sorry.

Heh, when you see my desk you'll freak

very nice indeed!

it is possible, and easy at that. if you have your console enabled, host a game (LAN, Internet, whatever), go into your console and type
sv_monsters 1. Im NOT POSITIVE that is what you type, but it is something along those lines. Here, let me check really quick.

Umm, Id say do me, but for one, everybody hates my avatar :/ and two, so many other people have asked.
PS: DO ME!

Halo 2 is a MUCH over-rated game in my eyes. It really doesn't offer anything new.

Ditto

Delete this thread, HL 2 IS OUT!!!!!

2.6 ghz, radeon 9600 se (preferred card of HL2 )

Have it, love it, and yes, perhaps im a bastard, but oooh yeah being a bastard rocks!

how about no

Thank you

well Ieatmonkeychow has a little block thing, what does that hace to so with eating monkey chow? dajuppi has a sexy maid, what does that have to do with...dajuppi. Spooky has wolvarine (dont know how to spell that), what does that have to do with spooky. pepper has a plane, PaLO has a chipmunk, mephs has a nazi cat, ZombieLoffe has that guitar playing thing, I dont see you telling them to get new avatars

Team Fortress Classic. Its a mod for HL.

so are you saying that once you begin playing your map a little error box comes up and says that, or it says that in the console when you run it from there?

is it possible to set a trigger_once to be inactive, but then activated once something happens? What im trying to do is make it so that you can walk through a trigger_once and nothing happens, but you press a button and when you go back through the trigger, it triggers something.
Hard to explain, sorry.

how does my avatar have to do with GIFS, and why kill myself because it is a dog in an HEV suit???? I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT!?!?! YOU ARE CONFUSING ME!!???!!!??! AHHARRRAGGGG!!?!?
head explodes

You can't always get what you want...

But you can try sometimes, and you might find, you get what you need!
Oh yeah, I sing like like a pro!
holy shit, who has a 33k connection, atom?!?!
kisses 56k connection, calls qwest for DSL

oh, well if your from the UK, that totally lets you off the hook for all the things I put that you mis-spelled. If I had known that I wouldn't have posted that thread about the mis-spells, because I have no clue how things are spelled in the United Kingdom. Its not my place to tell you if you've spelled something wrong when I have no idea how it is spelled myself. SOO, sorry
non-sarcastic post

A few mis-spells I picked up off the forums. Posted by G_KID, of course.

secksi

proper spelling: sexy

aniversary

proper spelling:anniversary

They sucks

This one is from his journal
proper grammar:they suck

cos

Another one from the journal
proper spelling: because

redconnected

Yet another from he journal of G_KID
proper spelling:re-connected

revolutionise

hmm. I got this one from a post in his journal that speaks of him
starting a grammar class at TWHL, yet he can't spell correcly himself.
proper spelling:revoloutionize

alot

I got this one in the exact same post where I found the one above
proper spelling:a lot

Oh to be a big, fat teletubby, without a care,
I wonder how,up against a chainsaw, a teletubby would fare,
To be a big annyoying teletubby,with a TV in your tummy,
And to eat that pink crap, that they think is yummy,
Oh to have an antenna, stuck to your head,
And to sleep under silver tin foil, when in bed.
To have ears so large, you can hear anything someone may mutter,
And finally, to have an I.Q. six points below butter.

Nobody is terrible at everything, this poem above is pure talent, the best thing I've ever seen posted by G_KID
Trust me folks, I've got millions of them, but I have better things to do than waste my time at this thread. I'M OUT!

peole

Mis-spell

You have no grammar or punctuation, although this may seem a trivial thing, if you ever made this mod or map pack and had any text in it, it would be badly spelled and punctuated.

Run on

Hehe

Ever heard of the space bar?
Who are you to say I have bad grammar?

nubmer

And who are you to agree with him?

Listen, I have great grammar and writing skills, I just dont implement it into my posts because I didn't think that mattered, but now its obvious that this place is not only a place for all to learn about HL mapping and HL mod mapping, but a place to exhibit fine grammar and writing abilities.
G_KID, I don't know why you seem to hate me and offer no help in a place designed for exactly the opposite of what you give, but I'd sure like to know. I can understand constructive critisism, but your earlier post was nothing but a vast collection of all the things that you could think of that had to do with bashing me into the ground. If this makes you happy (which i'm sure it does to a person like yourself) i've given up on the idea. I hadn't planned on having someone else do it for me, and if I did, then I'd be a worthless piece of shit, but its obvious that I'm not a piece of shit or else I wouldn't be posting on a website, I'd be in my backyard covered in flies. Also, do you have dyslexia or something? I said clearly in my previous post that the point was NOT to create the greatest mod on the planet, the point was to learn. I have admitted it numerous times that I am new to mapping and I don't try to act like I'm good. My worst fear is to be arrogant and go around bashing people into the ground. I'll admit you are a good mapper and have great knowledge of it, but that still doesn't give you any right to go around making newbies feel like shit. If I knew as much as you about mapping, I'd actually help people. You know, make yourself useful, if you've ever heard of such a thing. I'm sure your more than capable of being insightful, like Captain P, but I suppose your arrogance prevents you from doing so.
And That Is My Report On Telling G_KID Why He Is No Help

why kill myself?

no im not talking about a new gun (although that would be cool...). im trying to make a catapult that launches scientists really far, but when I activate the catapult it just pushes him a little bit. I want him to fly reeeeeeeeeeealy far. How do I do it?
