light_env requires a sky texture on a face to work :/
light_spot works, but you have to make sure you didn't set a maxrange or mess with the linear or quadratic fields.

It's not horribly hard, just another output or two.
You might have some luck looking at the SDK trainstation maps? I've no idea about scripting, I haven't gotten it to work yet either.
props_combine - combine citadel 00x or whatever.
Not unless you decompile and edit them.
There's nothing there. Like props_doors/lights/caves.

...but good for complex objects. Doesn't cost too much for a static prop in any case.
To put a point on it, set minfadedist to -1 and maxfadedist to 0.

} [/quote]Sometimes you just got to for the detail you have to put into some maps.dm_petrol's brushwork is all snapped to grid at a level around 4 or 8 - no floating points or overlaps. Except on some of the pipework, but that doesn't count because I said so ;/
Turning off the grid tells Hammer to treat it as 1 but it doesn't auto-change it. Or it didn't in 3.4, at least.
Set it's collisions to VPhysics is your other option.
Nothing, as my iPod is at home ;(

...without VIS the map isn't going to function very well. It will compile, but without VIS or it will create a new EXE.
Edit your VMT so that it doesn't use an alpha VTF though I think that might not work either, dunno. Try it.
Er, VVis isn't a glitch - It's the VIS exe you need to run when compiling that calculates the visibility data - This is an intensive process and it requires your full CPU power. It is certianly needed in the compile, it's an integral part.
Turn OFF snap to grid? I'd really advise against that, and I'm sure most other mappers would as well - It causes leaks and isn't too accurate to work with.

Nice map shots, by the way.

But you can't make it non-trans, not in Hammer at least.
Sucks for you, really ;P

It's considered spam because it's off-topic and doesnt add anything of value to the thread. Like the direction this thread is taking ;/...
It's defined in the VMT whether it's transparent or not, so just use a different texture :/
Not by default, but loads of people are codin' it in.

Open up your Steam Play Games window, ctrl-alt-delete and use the process tab to kill explorer.exe and any unneeded processes (ie most non-system ones) and then Alt-Tab to your games menu and run HL2. You lose your Explorer GUI but if you want it back just Ctrl-Alt-Del, File-Run, type explorer, and it's all fine again.
there are unfinished maps that say you may complete them and extend themIf the map is indeed unfinished and being released as Source, the author will include the RMF/VMF (ie, I've included a BSP and RMF with co_ethereal which is an open-source file.)

I accepted, I believe - I just got up a little while ago so I haven't been online.
The key to performing most of the complex stuff in HL2 is the new prop system - Most of the complex detail is in model format.
The rest is mostly achieved by the few new Source features - Ie, the 3D skybox, and the new lighting methods. The default 512x512 textures help, too.

d1_trainstation_fog is what you want - do a filter for 'fog' and look for it - It appears as a yellow-y color. It just sits there and looks like fog.
a member of my team already suggested to switch the whole project on CSS, but I don't have CSS, then don't know the new gameplay and editor frown -Ah. Having the game is a bit of a problem, yes, but the editor is almost identical. Just to let yah know....
You can't really cordon off areas for no fog, unfortunately 
You could give that trainstation fog texture on a func_illusionary a try, but the standard fog appears in teh entire map.

Now where did Lamarr go? Lamarr?! HellO? Come her pet!Lamarr eats watermelon ;o
the d1_fog_trainstation or whatnot works. Not sure regarding the rest.
The fog is procedurally placed depending on how you setup your controller. Setting a low fog start makes the fog closer, setting a high one makes it start farther away.

A greean power box is edible? who the feck would want to eat that?!Me
It's generated depending on the player, but the controller tells the game you want fog to be present. The fog textures are for certain special situations, the env_fog_controller is what you're looking for.
The distances and how thick it is can be set in the fog controller's properties.

Enter func_breakable and select them all, look in the bottom left, and you can get your number.

They should keep their properties...hmm.
In Hammer? Just I, no shift.
Select your brush and hit Ctrl-T.
Or drag a selection box and hit enter.
