[quote]So when Other people download the bsp, will the sound still be in the texture?[quote]

No, they'll need the materials.txt file and the sound itself.

I made a wad texture I'm using in my map . The problem is , as I am still working with that wad in hammer and the map is not ready , can I modify the wad ( just adding textures , not modifying others) so the hammer configuration and BSP to work ?

What? Clarify that a bit more.

Then you probably need to code that.

in Adding sound to footsteps/texture Post #257292

To make a certain texture produce a sound when walking over it, you'll need to define an entry in a file called materials.txt.
This file is located in the pak0.pak (for WON HL) under the sounds folder.

In your case, you simply add the following line to the file:

M nameofyourtexture

M makes it a metal sounding texture, while D makes it a dirt sounding texture, P is computer, Y is glass etc. Its all there in the file.

Then, what are those changes that made OB compiling with your compiler to work?

in Valve Map Batch Compile Tool for Source Post #257219

So...

Your compiler can compile maps for Orange Box games/mods (i haven't tried it yet)?

Any idea why compiling with Nem's Batch Compiler fails (missing materials, vbsp crash)?

Im writing a front end compiler as well, but i can't seem to compile OB maps with it, just like Nem's BC. Compiling maps for Ep1 engine based games works fine, though.

in Valve Map Batch Compile Tool for Source Post #257209

I was going to point out the Compilator, but then I looked and it doesn't support Source. My mistake.

The current version that is available to the public (version 1.0.2) doesn't support Source, but version 1.0.4 which is very close to release DOES support Source.

The only problem is that it doesn't seem to support Orange Box map compiling. You'll get missing materials (only materials used in the current map) and vbsp seems to crash. The same thing happens with Nem's Batch Compiler (1). I don't know why its not working. Guess it has something to do with the changes in the engine/folder structure when the OB was released.

I will check this compiler out and learn from it. If this compiler can compile OB maps without the missing materials errors and without vbsp crashing, then maybe i can figure out how to make my Compilator compile OB maps without problems by looking at this compiler.

(1) Someone please confirm this. This is important to me! The future of Nod the Compilator depends on it!

It has a function that automatically converts VB to C#, Muzz,

Wtf!

I was thinking about this the other day; why not convert my Compilator and my Half-Life Launch Pad to C# code instead, because i've heard its faster.

The problem is, i don't know jack shit about C#, even though VB.NET and C# code blocks may look almost identical.

But, if SharpDevelop can convert my apps to C# code, then awesome!

I can then learn more about C# by looking at the converted code.

So... should i?

I'd say go for Visual Basic .NET.

The software you need to program VB.NET Windows Application is here.

I used the same language and software to develop my Compilator and the Half-Life Launch Pad utilities.

I can get you started.

Is it just me or is compiling with the "Priority" check box checked messed up?

It is. I already know about this and it is already fixed in version 1.0.4, which is really close to release.

Sorry.

I could update version 1.0.2 (the latest version available to the public) and release again as a minor glitch fix.

I think it would be beter to wait for version 1.0.4 though.

Picture this:

Take the architecture of Bored or dm_crete or Crete 2 or CRETE 3 or CRETE 4 or Sancefar and make sure you put plenty of stairs and arches in the map. Then texture the entire map with only one texture.

There's your dm_astrial.

Im stuck again.

What am i supposed to do with that car on the elevator? I turned the generator on, and used the elevator lever in the control room, but the elevator doesn't move. Neither does the car, i can only break it, but that triggers a message saying "You need that car" and the game automatically loads the last saved game.

I have Vista with a HD 2600 - had the same problem - and this dll works for me:

http://btkanyag.atw.hu/atioglxx.dll

Hmmm, that makes me wondering...
I still use XP myself with an pretty old ATI card (X1600Pro) and any driver version above 7.11 creates that can't select in 3D window issue. So im wondering, what if i install the latest drivers for my videocard and use that dll file Masta Killa provided, would that fix the problem? It fixed the problem on Vista with pretty new cards, but what about XP and an older card?

I might just try it out, but if doesn't work, i wasted an hour installing the latest driver, and then uninstalling that driver, and then reinstalling the 7.11 driver...
