Hi all!
Is it possible to make a brush, that when triggered, changes textures? Like red light - green light - thing?
Is it possible to make a brush, that when triggered, changes textures? Like red light - green light - thing?
Ive never seen it, but I get a similar error when I use hl2 too much (reload same map after changing it without exiting) but I just hit Enter and restart HL2
mixing content doesnt work well, textures dont copy over right, I find, I always have a texturless model in my maps when I do it 
whats that equivelent too for nvidia?
Im getting a 3ghz and a 6800 in the winter a little upgrade from 2ghz with 6600GT.
Next one will be a 4ghz (thatll be out by then ) 2gb of dual channel ram, 7800GTX

) 2gb of dual channel ram, 7800GTXI thought there was a weight multiplier in teh properties, maybe you could set it to a negative number?
so, I read that tut, and will try it later (preoccupied with a webstie Im making now). If that worked, I would have to remake the map then, the map 2?
Cause, I have you being talked to the gman, then I want to load the level and your in another place (this is like 3 weeks earlier)

I will have another look at it, and post back here what I find
I like the new stuff, escpecially the new tutorial section
Ok, in properties, there is a thing called "Delay Before Reset" Change that to the proper number of seconds (till sequence is done) and then it will be unactive till that ammount of time is up
ha, well, I guess...lol yeah, if you want other languages to, then just rename them all
Congratulations, have fun in Italy! 
you talking about hl1 or hl2?
ha, satellite, well, I just stole it from a nasa picture, cut the background out, shrunk it, copied it over, and placed it where I liked it
It has worked before on other maps, both landmarks are called change, the trigger thing is set properly, I even cloned the area around it and pasted it in the other map so that it would start there. Is there a way to just tell the thing, go to this map, and let it use the info_player_start on that map?
Nice, thanks!
alright. Uhh ill write a step by step tut here:
#1: Go into mod directory sourcemods/yourmodname and create a text file, inside the textfile put all the map names you made: example for mine:
warl_d1
warl_d1a
Put the .bsp name not the name you want to call it, but leave out .bsp...
#2 Go into the cfg folder, create a .txt doc called chapter1, inside put the map you want to load for chapter 1, ex:
map warl_d1
When saving this change the .txt extention to .cfg
#3 Go into resources, change hl2_english.txt to yourmodname_english.txt and delete all the other wierd languages (saves space and you dont need them). Open this up, change all the hl2_chapter#_title things to yourmodname_chapter#_title.
Then for the chapter number, call them what you want, and it should load the map, and in the chapter screen show the proper name.
To make the picture work, create a .vtf of the pic, the picture has to be 256x128 so take a picture of the lvl, resize it to that, and convert to .vtf. then place the .vtf in: materials/vgui/chapters , call it chapter1.vtf
There ya go, ready to play!

When I try to do a level transition, I set it up like in your tutorial, its worked before, but this time, I get put in the "void" and get this in the console

I raised them up, and it seems to help some, only some of those props do it too, wierd.
now thats screwed up, ok, it loads the map though?
hmmmm, ill check, it might be 1 grid size in
no, just maps that I make, not standward ones, when I bump the object, the shadows turn back to normal
may be the drivers, but you can have the hardware, without drivers its useless 
chapters are a bit trickier, what have you got done with them?
Ok, I compiled my map, built cubemaps, made sure the map is well lit, then I end up with this:

What can I do to fix this?
whats your msn/aim, I can justtell you how to do it all on there easier
after searching for awhile, a lnog while, I found a post on how to do it, so nvm this, mods can delete this if they wish
I followed a tutorial on hl2world on how to chagne the background image, on the main menu. I did so, and it works fine, as long as I open the mod from the batchfile, when I open it through steam it gives me the picture, but then fades to the city 17 background map, any idea's on how to fix it?
I found out how to add chapters, but Im still seeign if it works 100% right or not.

and if that doesnt work, ill post you the responce /
Adding pictures/chapter buttons into the New game menu
http://img134.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img134&image=chap6so.jpg
Maplist.txt goes in the base mod directory.. of course must contain all your maps
cfg/chapter1.cfg just needs to contain your first chapter map.. for example chapter1.cfg has map buildingblocks_final in it
materials/vgui/chapters/ has chapter1.vtf in it..all that is,is a 128x128 save game picture of buildingblocks_final,Im not quiet sure exactly what size this vtf needs to be..but 128 x 128 picture has a bit of white on the side...so it might need to be smaller,wider,etc
Thats about it....I couldnt find anything that relates to the chapter names so..Im not sure YET..im almost postive its a .res file though
Anyways..this worked for me
Edit: Jimius says the vtf needs to be 256x128 Very Happy

well, thats sucks, I learned a bit from them, then I had to figure the rest out on my own, I dont even have stupid viscual C++ 
. Anyways, DR. lemme see.
The moving background, I dont know, I only know how to make a static background, an image. But for the menu stuff. Well, I dont know how to add chapters but I can make it so when you hit play it plays a certain map for ya.
Then you can add more play buttons I guess, im not sure how to add chapters though, makes me mad cause I wanted chapters in my mod.
Alright, go to your mod folder, in source mods, then to the resource folder, then open up game menu.res, I use visual basic 2003, once thats open, youll see something like this:
"GameMenu"

}Seventh had the right idea, source mapping, that has every tutorial you should ever need, just click on mapping, then find what your looking for. WOA! New smileys! Cool 
for the camera, right click on camera in the 3d window (or wireframe in your position) and click on 3d textured, this made me mad for awhile too cause noone tells you how.
other things, I have no idea, some objects arnt made to be physic, try adding light and cubemaps near it

I need a 3ghz in a bad way, a 2 just doesnt do it anymore, my card is a 6600GT AGP not PCI-E. And it works good, if only I could get a 3 ghz :
alrighty, thanks!
alright, but not for normal hl2, not css, cause then i gotta take them out of the GFC's or whatever their called
they work for me..go to www.hl2world.com click on tutorials click on coding
Is there a plant in this game? I cant seem to find a plant in a pot, not the little cactus thign but a normal house plant. Anyone know where or how to get one?
pffft, ever ATI card I have ever used, installed or played on has crashed or blown up in some way, I installed one on a pc and ended up having to reinstall the whole damn thing. Put service pack 2 on a winxp machine, wouldnt even turn on till I took the ATI card out. Nvidia is much better, my POV and the 7800 kicks ass compared to any ATI thing, till the X900, we'll have to see what that does for graphics cards.
Which brings me to my next point. Whats in store, pretty soon we wont just have to worry about graphics cards but physics cards! Anyone else read about those things yet?

screw all of those things, get 2 Geforce 7800 GTX 250mb PCI-E cards in SLI. I guaruntee you wont be having framerate issues in anygame. EVER!

I know about the book seventh, I didnt think it used 3 legged monsters that screamed and shot lazer beams out of it
I didnt notice the vort's but the striders that popped out of the ground, made me wonder where they got their ideas from
There are more than just 1 big momma, and even if there wernt, I would think that they would find more ways to make a headcrab, genetically enginneer them or something...why do we care anyways? Noone likes a head humper
no, I said that I turned it on 4 AA cause it made the quality better, from nothing to 4. Then I stated that I turned it from 4 to 2 and it looked the same but ran better so I left it at 2.
so: 2>0 but 4=2
so: 2>0 but 4=2
thanks guys, yeah, i mean AGP. I run AA cause on my LCD without it the game looks like crap, I turned it to 2 AA and didnt notice a difference in quality and the fps went up
