then its probably ''is not looped'' or something....
get the latest hl fgd pepper
The HD models were not designed for low end machines (low end meaning less than a pIII or the equivalent) - it says so in the manual
so i don't think moaning about their speed is justified - gordon was never ment to walk so i don't know...
You should really be testing your maps with the default models and software mode anyway

BTW? did you say the ENTIRE LEVEL is button_target?
AAAAaaaagh.. BAaaad idea... first of all it won't compile... if there are no normal brushes in a map.
or am i just ignorant and totally missing the point - again :

its only 1 to 1.5 meg increse MAX - if you do it right
i suppose you set the ambient_generic's name in the tank's target field?
oh, wait.. thats not the qn..
silly me...
check the ''not toggled'' and ''start silent'' flags in the flags part of the properties.

i'm thinking of really complicated angular velocity setups... like making wheels on trucks etc..
btw, isn't there a bank on turns property? - or something (in degrees)

It can be done, but i'll need to actually make it to explain fully, but i don't have time so i'll just give you the consept to ponder over...
Func_wall_toggles...mu... hang on.. just one func_wall toggle....
make it "visible" by triggering it... this will stop the player from beeng able to shoot at the button_target... and trigger it again to 'enable' the button
make the func_wall toggle invisible in the game by doing the same as for a ladder (rendermode > solid ; renderfx > 255 etc..)
BTW, could this be a ploy to boycot the use of a multisource? > i'm not sure (unless i compile) but i think button_tergets can use masters...
hmmm...

Hmmm.. i thought ZHLT were pretty well, crap compared to these beauties
Hmm... A coding sec. in the tutorials will be very good.. seeng as how some people are already advancing to more complex acpects of mapping
/me thinks of a coding tut about the head tilting like in bs when strafing... hmmm
did that make sence?
i thought so

fire on pass in the path_corner or path_track ?
it is a sprite.. check the sprites folder for 640hud4.spr and 640hud5.spr

I think you can do spirit.. can you?

Right... good teleporting sounds:
sounddebrisbeamstart1.wav
sounddebrisbeamstart2.wav
sounddebrisbeamstart8.wav
and the most standart one : sounddebrisbeamstart7.wav
The game title is a sprite, its actually 2 sprites so you'll need to read up on decompiling sprites etc..
try sprite explorer by Hoaxer : http://www.wrenchsoftware.com/
its a little offline right now, try again later

lets hope the new board about mods and maps doesen't turn into this.. hmm.. maybe an off-topic posts will be deleted might do the trick
uh.. versions are sometimes the cause of some errors, never encounterd this one before... try to keep all of your mods/hl etc up to date
ooo, thanks andy
they were on the blueshift cover as well (retail) but alas they wern't in the game ..
and i don't think you need to set up hammer any differently > exept some game parameters when running or testing your maps
hmm.. still no replies eh, my best guess is that they died a loooong time ago - look for something different is cheap = free or cheap = ch?ap ?
Dave J also has an article writen on the subject of game design > a must read wheather youre a n00b or 1337
Also, have a go at ETC II - one hell of a map pack - i learned a lot from it and so should you.
Here's some reading that'll keep you occupied - during a map compile maybe? - if your computer is fast - P III+ and compile tool settings on -low
and some more...
and more!!
and you'll win nothing for guessing whats here

Ah, a nice clean Spam free board, (we'll soon fix that )First topic:
What motivates you to make a map???
Do you look at textures and imagine possible scenarios?
Look at old photographs...
Or walk around the town/city looking at architecture...
Or maybe listen to some music?
Post your opinion and share the creativity...
oh, there's where my post went.. i thought it was gone to netfirms heaven.. or hell.. or limbo
what i do is turn the complex brushes into func_walls and place solid brushes right behind the detailed func_wall.. this reduses the vis compile time, also make sure to streach the textures on hight poly brushes - this helps r_speeds - not too mush about 1.25 is enough..
another advantage of using func_walls for this is that if youre really L33t, you can use func_wall_toggles and some nifty triggering to create a really advanced "dynamic" vis engine
i really should be explaining all of that and giving example maps but i'm just too darn lazy! :

you need to edit the sentences.txt - its in the valve/sound folder
find the line with the name of the wav that the scientist is supposed to say, it will look some thing like:
// SCIENTIST
SC_OK0 scientist/excellentteam
SC_OK1 scientist/fellowscientist
now, find this line :
SC_ROCKET scientist/c1a4_sci_rocket
you can change c1a4_sci_rocket to iwounded2 or iwoundedbad*
*that name is the wav name with out the .wav
alternatively, you can add a new line to sentences.txt, like so:
SC_WOUNDEDBAD scientist/iwoundedbad
make sure its in somewhere with the other SC_whatever entries
and also be sure to distribute the modified sentences.txt
have i mentioned everything? oh, in the scripted sequence properties make sure you have a ! before the sentence name

if you want to be able to shoot through the grate turn it into a func_illusionary > with the same properties >
then surround the func_illusionary in a clip brush*
*its an ordinary brush which is completely covered in the clip texture (clip) its invisible in the game but blocks players

lol - i knew that one ages ago - probably some extra level they decided to cut
there are lots of things like that in hl - like the shadows for example - if you have a really old v if hl you can look at them.. they were removed in a patch
same goes for some models, sounds etc..

its amazing how some posts go way off topic.. its great !
um, you can try the trigger_player_weaponstrip if you want the 'jailers' to take the players weapons and all.. the suit stays and so does the long jump module
Yea..
