God hammer really needs instances for goldsrc. Even changing the names for two prefabs was a bitch enough

I did indeed, but pretty sure if I want to release it I'll have to make some custom textures
It's a bit of an intricate system:
1 trigger_multiple
1 fund_illusionary
1 func_button
2 env_renders
2 ambient_generics
6 fund_doors.
The triggers trigger the button, as the Burbutton abuses the fact in can be shot to activate just like in metroid. Button triggers the env_renders which either fade in or fade out the blue glow ( additive texture) which then trigger the door to open. Totally needs spirit to function properly.
Only issue is that spirit should allow you to change fund_doors to fire their targets as they move, rather than after moving. This doesn't work. So the opening sound works fine, but the closing is triggered after the door shuts which is a bit weird. Works exactly like the game.

and it's completely cheating by using ripped textures from the game and making brushes from there.. and ripped sounds too!
compare with
The purple is the least of your worries - I mean you're using comic sans.

I think it's a bit overkill to go and build bloody custom binaries for a couple of maps; just keep it ep2 for simplicity's sake. And also, please, can we have a new base map?
What's that meant to be in reference to, orange?
Can we have a different base map? I can't say I was particularly keen on the original one for TWHL tower ( Sorry urbz ), and that stairwell is FAR too basic for source.
That lovely health charger right next to that old retina scanner is a bit rank. You going to do something similar to that as well?
I know exactly what video you are talking about TJB, and that's exactly what I was thinking of in my head when typing that post. I can't remember for the life of me what it was called
So.. how realistic is VR support PB?
I know it's very, very early on and Sledge probably isn't in a good enough state to start fiddling about with VR..
but honestly the idea of level creation whilst being able to physically manipulate rooms and brushes with your own hands sounds.. amazing. Also a sense of depth to what you are building.

I'm not sure about <2000 as there's an absolute shitload to work with and allows a lot of doubt as to wether the new map is that similar to the original...
random idea I had is what about an assault course or race map, that being you are either challenged to get from one place to another ( wether this be just generic shooting, agility, puzzles or something) or a race in which combines that with a time limit or something chasing after you as well. Something really a bit different

Oh jeez zeeba, surely that would mean each door has at least 18 entities?
The issue is more alberto that the doors differ wildly:
the metroid prime 1 door, of which I tried to duplicate, looks like this:
The prime 2 door, the one which I said would be off grid, is this
Now, that's more of an iris door and would use func_rotatings rather than func_doors, however I want as much detail as possible. I wouldn't be able to bevel the edges without being off grid. Granted, I could make it flat, but then that'd just be boring.
the metroid prime 1 door, of which I tried to duplicate, looks like this:
Well they aren't really iris doors, I've seen people do them before. These aren't func_rotatings, they're linear func_doors a la metroid prime. Metroid prime 2 had rotating doors but I wanted go for the simpler one as I know for a fact a metroid prime 2 style door would completely take a shit all over the unit grid. Please do get that map up, I really do want to play it!
Zeeba, the link is dead so I can't download it. Looks pretty good though, haven't played it before. Could you upload it again please?
Also stu did nothing wrong, he's a kind and loving potato.

It's really not that complex, there's just a shitload of bells and whistles. A trigger hurt with negative values to heal you, a cyclindrical door with green-black gradient textured along it to make it look like a light shaft, the holograms which are just also additive textures changed using an env_render, and the sounds were all made by me as a mishmash of a shitload of sounds, even a few perfect dark ones in there

S'pretty cool, i'm proud of it. Don't know why the charging sounds cuts out near the end, hasn't done that to me before. Might add a few more bells and whistles but feel like having 5 x this many entities may cause issues with the whole entity / brush limit thing
it appears most of my mapping breakthroughs happen when i'm trying to procrastinate from doing other things, such as studying. Because fuck studying.
Anyway, here's a WIP of part of a gimmick for a HLDM map idea i've had for a couple years now and got touched on back in this screenshot from a while back
This is a basic health station that will freeze you for two seconds, and replenish your health entirely. Looks fancy and makes bells and whistles and such. The HLDM map will not have a single medkit or wall charger, and will entirely rely on these. There'll probably be 4 or 5 in the map in total.
This will be part of my dynamic map, which will be split into 4 sectors which each will get shut off for a minute or so to be "sterilised" - that is, everything inside it will be killed - but this will restrict certain paths and certains weapons ( and in this case, access to a health station ). It'll be an interesting concept, especially if it turns out well.

Cheers urbz, i've been busy as fuck the last week so that's why I've literally not had the time to work my entry. The extra fortnight will go down well
I'm very close to finishing but ive got a few entity issues that won't be nice and be easy to solve. Could I send a duplicate of the entities to someone to see if they can fix it?
Didn't the idea from Mr. Friendly come about from one of Valve's workers' sons disgusting doodles of a giant penis with legs?
I swear I've heard that story somewhere...

I mean you can start on C / C++ or whatever to begin with, but IMO that's an unnecessary step for a beginner.
To actually get your head round the principles of object oriented programming, i'd recommend doing java first
now this is edinburgh university's site which, if you follow the lectures and do the exercises, you should be able to be very confident in java by the end of it. The site is freely accessible by google so it's not a leak or anything like that.

but CT, BEVEL doesn't create clipping planes whereas NULL does.
Tet, would the simple action of just using Bevel textures rather than null not massively help on the clipnode side of things?
I've submitted media... rude
Disco, power generator room? Toilets from hell? Maintenance area?
Brothel?
or what about that secret floor from Being John Malkovich?

May I ask how on earth you are in the final year of your course and you're only 20?
Jeez i'm only in second year of uni and almost 20 now, not even halfway through my course.

It's a pretty good challenge, personally I would've loved a bit more space to play with but meh, I guess that's part of the difficulty.
Very close to finishing mine up, just got some entity stuff to deal with

There can't be a story if all floors are completely irrelevant and up to the creator of the floor itself ; nothing really apart from "aliens".
Urby, whereabouts will the changelevel be for the maps? I'm unsure how much free reign I have over the stairwell area
I've had a few issues with sledge recently that I'd not noticed before which has made me resort to using hammer for geometry and then Sledge for everything else..
basically, whenever I shift-drag an object, even if texture lock is on, the texture alignment screws up completely. No idea why this happens.
Noticed as well that if I use ctrl & M to open up the transform window, I have to physically click on "ok" rather than press enter, which is quite frustrating if i'm having to rotate a bunch of objects
Also, I can't figure out how on earth to replicate Hammer's alt-click texture feature, nothing I can see on the drop down list does it on the texture application window.

how is everyone elses' contributions coming along?
am I giving away too much?
is this technically acceptable as it's within the guidelines..
obvs nowhere near finished

So the tower is literally a tower rather than vertical version of Rooms?
Is it too late to contribute?
Anything from event horizon is horrifying.
we'd all need to decide on a specific place, and to be fair 2016 would be far more realistic than 2017 or even 2018
Wait crypt, I've seen that stuff on FP, you a member there too?
Lovely cheeky metroid engine there rim, and holy shit lajron that looks beautiful.
I work in retail.
Fuck retail.
Used to be a duty manager for a hotel, was really good, then desperately needed a job so I could support myself @ university.. worst decision I've made.

Just imagine. Imagine hammer looked nice
Not fitting at all, having such a mac-like UI, but would strongly recommend looking at Dribbble, some of the stuff people upload is incredible.
Penguin, this doesn't sound like too hard of an addition, but could you add a new preset brush type which is just a "carved" cylinder will all vertices moved to the edges of it's bounding box
Like this :
shit explanation I know
Like this :
Just out of curiosity, how realistically far away is source support?
You look like you've got almost all the essentials grounded ; stuff like material rendering for source I can imagine being a pain and taking forever to do.

for some reason chrome rotated the original when previewing, don't ask me why as I have no idea why it did it.
1. Fringe
2. Lost
3. IT Crowd
4. Red Dwarf
5. It's got to be motherfuckin' STORAGE HUNTERS YEEAAAHH
Fringe and lost are so good, however lost just got well, lost halfway through. Still one of my favorite shows though. Fringe succeeded where lost failed.
And storage hunters.. it's just amazing.
