Erm, I don't know! I normally use 100 for normal glass!
A scripted sequence should work! Just tick the override AI flag! I'm not sure about the skeletons though!
Increase the fx amount until you are happy. The higher the amount, the more transparent!
Kazaa and morpheus are all crap! Get Direct Connect! It is the best! You can download anything you want! It is very slow though unless you have broadband or better. It still beats the hell out of Kazaa!
HAHAHA! I can't get grounded! I'm too old to get grounded! 
You must have done some bad things to get grounded like that for MONTHS! I've never got grounded when I was younger!

The professional flavour is the best edition. It has the best security, development and power. It is also recommended by hackers! Never hack, it is bad. But thats the Linux I recommend. It is also availible in a 64bit edition for Athlon 64 users!

What is your favorite old console. Mine is Megadrive Genesis. I got thousands of games for that! It's way old. But good fun!
heh
i heard someine say it on irc!
I've found the link to the old twhl site from 2 years ago!

this is the Stuff forum! It is off-topic!
What food do ppl here like? I like pasta, or ice cream, or steak... the list goes on!
The same thing as I bloody said for see-through floors! CLIP BRUSH! 
Sorry, but it is pretty obvious!
Sorry, but it is pretty obvious!??? What ??? If you want to make textures, use a imaging program like photoshop, paint shop pro or some other package. To make a wad file, use wally!
I dont have a clue! I've only made 1 cs map! I dont even play cs! I dont even know why Im posting on something I dont even know about! 
Haha!
Haha! VIS stands for Visability Matrix. It processes all of the rendering and light bounces. It basicly controls what is rendered and how. If you compile somthing without VIS it goes fullbright just like Zl said. The reason that happens is because RAD (the lighting program) relies on VIS to calculate the bounces and renders! So if VIS doesn't run, RAD can't run either, causing it to be fullbright!
In big, complex multiplayer maps, you should put in vis blocks. This means that only certain parts are rendered at once. You have to be very careful where you put these otherwise your map will render very funny (because the vis block will render as nothing making a block of black!). Vis blocks are good for keeping r_speeds down in maps. R_speeds make everything run laggy and chuggy! This is espescially important in multiplayer maps!
Did that explain it? I spent 8 minutes working all of that out!

I've got Counter-Life! It's good but it crashes sometimes! Not entirely stable. But it's fun!
I just use a solid object with the clip texture! Always works! A word of caution of the clip texture: never assign it to an entity! It crashes!!!
Change irc to a different channel cos the vercers hate us! Especially Fiend! I mean, he insults everyone!
Atom, PLEEEEEAAAAASSSEEEEE can u change to a diff irc server please! The vercers dont like us! 
Come on, everyone knows that alt+f4 accesses the shutdown menu, btw, alt+f4+enter gives you a lovely picture (pitch black) in full screen mode! 
I think u can get it from character map. There is a greek letter in there that looks like the HL Lambda logo.
Athlon64 FX-51 O/Ced to 2.9GhZ, 3GiG PC3200 ram, Radeon 9800XT 256!!! U can linux for PS2 now I think. Hahaha! LINUX FOR PS2! WTF?!
I can make avatars really easy! Anyone wants a new one, ask me! I have da best software! Zl, just gotta love ur metallica avatar!
yeah, u need a new mouth animation, some programming, a scripted sequence, and an edited sentences.txt file. Cos u would use a sentence to make him say it.
all of the changes to A in B and C should have the same name for a landmark in all maps. same for the other maps. god, i didnt realise how difficult that was just to do that, but, there u go!
i normally leave snap to grid off and make rooms by making a block, hollowing it, ungrouping it, and removing the sides i wish to curve, resize and other stuff and using new brushes for the ceiling. the grid diesnt matter! units are all the same size in hammer!!!
I am doing a map and I am attempting to do falling debris. How would i group all of the rocks as func trains and making the breakable ceiling trigger them as one. Would i use a multi manager or a master?
env_beams i mean
erm, give it a multiple target setup and give delays and stuff! just mess around with func_beans and func_targets
yeah. like for a waterfall u would use scrolling textures
dont bother usin zhlt.wad! i just use the regular wads
i was on the list so im happy!
It would be good if u had a section where u could download things like hammer and zoners, and stuff like wally, pakscape, gcf browser. Cos loads of n00bs join and they might want to get all of the tools so they can map straight away. That would mean that twhl is a complete solution for any mapper, texturer modder!
Seems to me like you don't look around on this site much?
LINKS has all the basic tools. (Ed: Andy)

what did everyone get for xmas? I got loads of stuff!
christmas? that was a week ago!
Wait, shouldnt thisa be in Site comments and Suggestions? Oh well
i map for cs and ppl looked at my map straight away! Well, I was actually telling everyone on IRC, probably why, but the reason they dont review them is cos there is too many, it get quite boring! I download em all though!
Ahh, the evil Direct Lights Error! I get this in my maps sometimes! Just dont use too many different light in one room! Always solves it!!!
BlackDeath is still in progress! Its not going to be released for ages cos I have got some coding work to do! Pepper is doing some texture work (hopefully it is in progress!) Vassy has done some model stuff so he can put them in his maps! He is doing some PreDisaster stuff and some PostDisaster stuff. I am keeping the rest of the stuff secret for now but vassy and ministeve, Zl, and pepper can realease any of their stuff. Prefersbly not but I dont care that much! Dont expect a realease date, hell no, but it will be released within the first quarter of 2004, maybe the second! It has had alot of effort put in and will be good mapping and texturing! I am doing modified dll files and i may mod some of the mosters and weapons! I wont make any new weapons from scratch as I cannot model or tedxture well atall! I might make some new effects and sprites as I can do those easily! Well, this has been a long post! Oh well! I am going to be updating my site SOON and put in more deteailed info, also, expect a php site from me soon aswell! I have experimented with some layouts and styles and am developing some content for it, i may make a flash version for it! Dont look for that soon as I am quite new to Flash! Cya Later everybody!
MoP
MoP oh, typo, i said game_message, sorry, its game_text!
I dont know how to make a picture come up, maybe a sprite
but i do know how to make text come up! Put game_message entity, anywhere u like, not make the pice of paper a button or trigger or what ever you want! Give the game_text a name and make the trigger or button hav the game_text's name as the target!!! game_texts r easy to make as well,just select the color. position on the screen and te effect and the text!!! Simple! There is a harder, more flexible way, but i wont go into that now! Hope that helped

Don't do anything!!!
hey, thats a terrific idea, cos everyone with b/band (like me for instance) wont be able to join!!!
I managed to get it to work without ruining my HL, i renamed HL directory to HL instead of Half-Life and it didnt detect it! But I still cant get it to work !! It keeps timing out! So I have uninstalled it for now!
!! It keeps timing out! So I have uninstalled it for now! My CS won't work!!! I am running 1.5! Basicly, when I connect to a server, it connects properly and when I am about to join the game, it crashes and says WSAE_NOTSOCK and CS closes down! And sometimes when I connect to a server my net crashes and the game also crashes! The same thing happened with my dial-up connection! I have installed service-pack 1 for Windows XP and it still don't work!!! My only other option is to back up HL and risk the horrors of Steam! OH NO!!! Is it me or is George Bush an idiot? What do you think? Talk about him here!!!
i wonder why bill gates calls it Longhorn? there are rue thoughts coming to my mind everytime i hear about it
