schrodinger's cat is not a valid form of explaining quantum physics, it was actually thought up to show how incredibly stupid quantum physics is if it were upscaled to macroscopic levels ( a cat obviously cannot be dead and alive at the same time)

I've tried making one set of env_lasers and another of env_beams. They're all parented to the central func_rotating ( but other things have behaved incredibly odd when parented to a func_rotating ).
If I parented it to a train or something that went around a circular path, I would, but because it's not exactly circular at some point the lasers would go out of sync.

In the game I am only triggering 4 env_lasers, however in game this causes the middle lasers to turn on and point at some random position, and it's really pissing me off. I've no idea why it's doing this as there is certainly no I/O problems.

Horrendous attitude rufee! Don't be like that.

When I first joined TWHL my name was "Mr. Good Map". This was, hilariously, not the case. But I was shit and still contributed to the community.

You're making yourself the opposite of this case and instead of being stupidly arrogant about your work like 8 year old me, you're putting yourself down when you really, really shouldn't be!

Everyone here would love to see a contribution from you rufee, even if you don't think what you have will be up to par - because whatever you make will be!

I am very much willing to enter this, sounds like it'd be a fantastic idea

The individual rooms I think should be entirely down to the users choice as it would open up the possibilities of rooms. Basing it on one theme would lead to a lot of common items appearing in each room, reducing the contrasts given by each individual member.

so PB, I've not even touched engines so I can't comment on anything, but how possible would it be to implement an INCREDIBLY basic light raytracer view? Wouldn't obviously mimic rad but it would give a vague idea as to what the final product may look like without having to compile it.

We can't really do an I/O system as goldsrc is literally a "trigger" system rather than source's multiple output system.

Here's another little nice idea. Apologies for the shite ms-paint drawing, photoshop has decided to corrupt itself.

Basically the texture browser would have a folder tree panel to the left hand side, which would allow you to manually select the contents of each wad. As well as the "root" folder, custom texture folders could be created that you can add individual textures to; so you could create yourself a "nature" folder that contained your own favorite grass / tree / rock textures, and "triggers" or "floors" or "weird computer shizznizz" and so on.
I doubt a new panel with a folder tree view would be that hard to put in as I believe it's one of the default window panel things.

"I could add something that could try to perform the vertex rounding on the selected objects, but if it creates an invalid brush, it doesn't round anything. I'll look into the options."
Something like that would be fantastic, but make it a user-selected option rather than something that happens automatically. Either that, or something similar to the "check for problems" window that comes up, and you can select the individual brushes and select fix.
If the vertexs snap to the nearest 1x1 grid, then it shouldn't create any invalid brushes. Someone must've been mapping terribly in order to create a situation in which it may create invalid brushes.

"How would something like that work when snapping the vertices to the grid will create non-planar vertices?"

Having trouble understanding what you mean PB, surely not snapping them to the grid would create non-planar faces.

This issue is plaguing me in hammer right now. By rotating objects, or flipping them, it's making the vertices go onto a microgrid, out of the normal grid. and this is creating weird artifacts everything and it's annoying as hell - especially when it was originally on grid.
It's merely a point of using a round function on every vertex. If it's stored as a plane or face in a VMF, surely some mathematical jiggery pokery could be used.

this sort of crap

it may not be an issue for GS or source to render, but using it as a reference for other objects , or simply surrounding the brush with other brushes , creates an issue

can someone PLEASE make a program that moves all vertices to the nearest grid point.
I remembered why I dislike source hammer so much, even though everything was done using vertex manipulation ( and on grid, I might add ) - saving and reopening, everything fucks up again. Ugh.

For any quick icons penguinboy I'd strongly suggest downloading and using Metro Studio 2. You need to register but it's entirely royalty free, and can export to SVG and png and stuff. Quite handy for small icons.

So yeah, here's my "inspiration":
