Well, it's up to Urby whether we are going to use vhlt or umvhlt.

Well, there's a point to use the UMVHLT then. Automatic missing face fixing sounds good. I hope 20% faster compilation is also true. Maybe we really should use it.

Exactly the same applies to Renegade X.

I guess the thing you call a "texture hole" is actually called "missing face".
I encountered this problem multiple times while creating terrain, but that mostly was my own fault.

Worked for me. Don't see any obvious improvements though.
"Quality also depends from lightmap resolution, but for GoldSrc users it's not available."
Dammit.

From the same thread:
"For example: changing lightmap resolutions will kill compatible."
Does it mean that if you change the lightmap's resolution you'll not be able to launch your map in HL anymore?

There's still a reason to try it out:
"Also compiling time on 20% shorter now for x64."

in It's never high enuf Post #336543
Oh, I'm sorry then. If so, trigger_changetarget should work fine. But to make the elevator be able to freely move from and to any floor using changetargets, you'll need to create a pretty complex entity setup.
Posted 7 years ago2017-07-29 13:20:34 UTC
in It's never high enuf Post #336541
There's trigger_changetarget which, obviously, changes the value of the specified entity's "target" parameter. But the "next stop target" and "target" are two different parameters, so path_corners are not affected by the trigger_changetarget. There are also such entities as func_trackchange and func_trackautochange, but they are not really what you're looking for, and they probably work only with func_tracktrain.
You can try mapping for Sven Co-op, which has a "trigger_changevalue" entity, which is the same as trigger_changetarget, but can change almost any parameter's value.
Posted 7 years ago2017-07-29 12:48:04 UTC
in It's never high enuf Post #336539
Well, as far as I know you can't select the next stop target of a path_corner in-game, sorry.

You can do such thing in Source though.
Posted 7 years ago2017-07-29 12:32:31 UTC
in It's never high enuf Post #336536
You can make as many storeys/floors as you want. Just make sure the path_corners are linked together. Also make sure that you have the "Wait for retrigger" flag checked, so you will need to activate your elevator every time you want it to move onto the next floor.
"enter the path-corner number in the console or somewhat dialog field and press enter "
As far as I know it's almost impossible to do in GoldSRC, sorry.

I suggest you to (re)read these articles, just in case:

Path_corner
Func_train
Elevators using func_train

When I completed Half-Life the 60th time, I stopped seeing any difference between CryEngine 2 and UE4 graphics. Any game with graphics better than in Half-Life is next gen for me.

Well, I have no idea how it feels to play at 7 fps, because I get 45-50 fps in UT4 on lowest settings.
Oh, wait. I remember how I launched S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl on my old laptop a long ago. the average framerate was 2-5 fps.

Well, I'm just not sure if I'm able to finish my map (in fact I haven't even started working on it yet). Time will tell.

Heh, I thought my firewall has something to do with that. I'll just place a single placeholder brush at where the airlock should be.
