I've joined up with GATO, and they are teh brown team.

But... why not be violent, if we find a way to take over the world, we can start a massive war, that will cause the top countries to get off the a** and do something besides buy more infastructure. :)

I think he means what engine...

Hl1 used the Quake 1 engine. Valve purchased it, then heavily modified it to get where it is now.

nope, you'd have to set it a prop_dynamic_override and then set one of the options to non-solid.

Hl and HL2 are great single player games, but their multiplayer just can't compete with Quake 2.

A better option is to set the prop motion disabled, then check the enable motion on phygun grab.

This is a common problem with a lot of people. Try placing cubemaps in your map. Also, you can always ALT-Tab out of HL2 and re-enter, this seems to fix it as well.

Just played it.

For a home made game, it is awsome. The areas, despite being a bit bland are really immersive.

What I don't like however, is how it ends. It just, ends.

the _dyn means that it is a model that will only work on a prop_dynamic.

A prop_physics_override will also work.

in func_percipitation problems Post #185146
The reason that the snow function on the func_percipitation doesn't work is because it is missing a certain sprite. If you can find this sprite and place it in the correct directory, it should work. That is, if valve didn't deactivate it in the code with one of their updates.

And what birth announcement would be complete without pictures. Here ya go.

in Compiling a model problem Post #184353
Dragging doesn't work unless you setup an environment variable, which, I am clueless on exactly it is. Make sure to move the .smd to a folder within the steam folders (like mymod/modelsrc)

However, if you open a command prompt to the /sourcesdk/bin folder, and type: studiomdl c:/*path to .qc file*/name.qc

Should work fine.

you are using a non-static model with a prop_static.

Use a prop_physics instead, with disable motion checked.

Can't load skybox file skybox/sky_day02_01 to build the default cubemap!
Make sure that sky really exists, which means going into the gcf and looking for the file yourself. Weird stuff happens without default cubemaps.

Load the texture into gimp.

Go Save as, and save as a tga.
convert to vtf.

Maestr02

This thing happens to me too. I'm looking into whether it's a graphics problem or not, it happens with models. They switch from textured mode to a flat shaded mode. To fix it, I either, pop out of HL2 using ALT-Tab or, strangely, just looking into a point_spotlight, seems to fix the problem too.

I'm running with a Geforce 7800 GT. If your also running a higher end nvidia card, it may be a problem with the driver, or the engine.

It's not exactly true to say func_wall is obsolete... It's more like been returned to it's original purpose. Func_wall was originally designed to allow a brush to disappear on command.
