I use -developer 2 cos I like reading through it's spam to sort out errors.

I keep annoying people woth my Futurame quotes and Simpsons quotes!
I use Hammer 3.4. It is much more stable. Who really cares about model-support cos i never needed to use it!
While we're on this topic, I am making a funny prefab at the moment. A Giant toilet which u can go in the bown and swim up it into the tank at the back. It has yellow water in it aswell! And solid brown textured objects (poo)!
Ah, it don't matter!
You are Star Wars nerds! Watch normal shows, erm, like, erm, I don't know any. The Simpsons ans Futurama are all I watch!
My school was a crappy "special" school! They were a bunch of loonies! 
Well, I don't know much about nVidia as I am an ATI Radeon user. Get new drivers and muck about with your Direct3D settings. Get a little tool called nvMax. Just search it on google. I did have a GeForce 3 once but I didn't use it much and sold it. That had lots of problems in HL. If you went underwater, it all went blocky. Just get that tool I said and tweak about! 
Just use normal CS! Steam is crap. Why use Steam when you can be normal and use regular CS!
Just use the texture tool, click the floor, select your texture and click apply! Presto! You have textured the floor!
Erm, I already posted that but it deleted it! Seventh, I'm guessing you deleted it! :
That was me by the way! Stupid crappy server logged me out!!!!!
Decompiling = EVIL!!! Steam = EVIL!!! Microsoft = EVIL!!!
Very simple! Thats why I dual-boot my pc with Linux!

1KB = 1024bytes and 1MB = 1024KB! It works the same for GB and TB.
What kind of network does your school have? Certain networks don't let you use installshield unless you are an admin!
I have 20GB of RMFed maps in various stages of development. So if I do something wrong, I have something to go back to! Java, why the hell would they develop it in that?! C++, HEX or assembler are better! HEX and assembler are a bit confusing compared to C++ but they are very powerful languages in the right hands. I know C++ very well and know a litlle bit of Assembler and HEX.
Full normal compile

hlvis.exe -full -high -chart -estimate -developer
hlrad.exe -extra -high -chart -estimate -developer -lights "moprad.rad"

The full compile normally takes about 1-2 hours on a medium map. The maximum one takes a much longer time. Timed on a 1.4GhZ Athlon t'Bird with 512mb of ram. It is much less on my new computer. But I don't use that for mapping! And also, the bloody hard disk is broken!

I'm not a nerd!
I'm so sick of some people arguing here! I have witnessed several arguments on this site since I joined. Now Zappy is starting on me! 
It is getting really annoying to have fights and arguments going on. TWHL is about the mapping, not hating!

HAHAHAHA! I am resurrecting an old thread!!!

Oh, they didn't work! DAMN! Oh well! Just go on my site to see em!
Ok, these are the other ones!
If these didnt work, then who cares! If you can really be bothered to see them, go to the STUFF! section on my site!
I hope this works now! I done this post before and I had to get Andy to delete it cos it didn't work! These are some funny error messages that I made from screenshots!
I have made a few more which I will post when I upload them to my site! Also, if you see anyone using these images, please tell me so I can track em down! If these images don't work, then it is Freewebs fault!
Hey, it did work! And Zl, that's my picture! I'm gonna copyright em now!
Erm, don't make the explosion size bigger than the maximum amount. I done that once and my map also had a "Fatal Error".
Steam is evil. Someday I should get a picture of Gabe Newell and make him look evil. Hehehe. That would be a laugh!
Damn straight! Don't use too man wads. And if you do, wadinclude them. This will make the mapsize huge but it should stop the errors! My maps only use 3 wads at the most!
I dont put in numericping or particles10000. I load them once I'm in the game if i need them.particles is good for finding leaks (which are nonexistant in my maps). Just use -dev -console and type in numericping and particles10000 when you need them! There are also more commands like that. For example, if you have a really laggy map, type r_speeds (or something like that, im not entirely sure cos I map for SP, not MP!) and it will show you the details and framerates and stuff. Oh, and also, when you have a leak, type in pointfile and particles10000 as that will lead you to the leak!
Hope that helped!
Hope that helped!
Select the water texture of your choice, create a solid brush where you want the water to be, select it, press the To Entity button and select func_water. Thats what I do.
I have never run out of ideas. Watch TV shows, go and see films, play games, use situations from real life. Just use your head and you will have lots of ideas!
NOOOOO! I hate Marvin!!
My method is the best cos you dont need to do another landmark. You just have to delete the old bit and do the next level! Much easier!
I've never had this problem! I think it's just a fault in Hammer. BTW, I had it once, didn't effect the map though.
Kol, I just wrote him a whole guide! You didn't need to tell him that!
Ok, here is my quick guide to level changes:
Ok, you have your first level and second level right, now delete the trigger_changelevel and info_landmark! Put in a trigger_changelevel into the first level and set the landmark name to land1. Set the next map as what ever the next one is called! Now, here is the landmark bit. Put in a info_landmark inside the changelevel and name it land1. Now, thats your first bit done! Now, save the as what u want the first level to be called!
Pheww, that was a long post! I really should start doing tutorials when I can think of a new idea! I go into enough detail! Hope this helped! It took me 10 minutes to write!

Now for the next level! With your first level saved and still opened in Hammer, delete the necassary amount of level so the second map doesnt have the rest of the first in. Just leave the changelevel and landmark where they are. Now, open the changelevel properties and set the next map to the name of the first map. After you have done this, just build the rest of the level and save this as whatever you want the second map to be called! Simple!Pheww, that was a long post!

Nuclear 2 will be on hold for some time because of my harddrive problem! As a result, I cant access hammer or HL! GRRR! But I will continue with it soon!
i already have a bearkey account! Hey skeeve, can u give me admin on #twhl? PLEASE!!! 
I really ought to upload a picture of it to my site! I will soon!
Has anyone here actually modded their cases? I have many times, it rocks!
give them all the same sequence shared and give them the walk animation
The motor is damaged!
Hey, I'm not a moron! I haven't used Hammer in over a month! How do you expect me to remember how to make glass if I haven't done it in ages!
I've got a Radeon 9800 XT 256mb!
I know this post is a bit late (cos i have had a broken HDD for ages!). MY HARD DRIVE IS BROKEN! As a result, I can't access HL or Hammer or use my broadband connection! I have a new drive but I can't be bothered to fit it in!

I am an expert on the HL engine and C++! Barney's health and damage is contained in hl.dll! Get the SDK and muck around with Barney.cpp and Barney.h. Compile the code and try it out. If it doesnt work, edit it again until it works. As for the egon 2nd fire, you will need to make a sprite, make a new animation and code the damage and animations and sprites AND sound setup in the C++ code for the weapon!
