Yeah, you might try looking in the "OUT" texture set. I think there's this one concrete yellow texture in there that looks worn out and realistic.

You're right. And if I see you stealing any kind of work, you'll soon find me stalking you, and eventually I'll behead you and post a picture of it in this very thread as a warning to all other inspirationally challenged mappers. Yeah.
Smart-ass me made the bombtargets completely square-ish, without bothering about the rotated boxes in the bombsite that then kind of cut the bombtarget in masses of strange angles.If I understand what you're talking about, then you're wrong. Whether you had rotated boxes or not, they wouldn't intersect with your bombsite brush in such a way that they would break it up, because they're brush-based entities, not world brushes. They'd still intersect, but they wouldn't be broken into a bunch of pieces.
If I remember correctly (I haven't mapped for CS in ages) the bomb targets are brush based, which means that there's some problem with the brush you're using for it. It's probably some kind of invalid shape that it has. Use "check for problems" and see if there's anything in there about it.

Yes, it's possible to just edit the entities with some program, but I forgot the name of it... :
AMAZING BRUSHWORK, MUZZ! HOW DID J00 DO IT??!?! 
Yeah, you're right. Like, if you were making a crate, and you wanted the top and the bottom of it to be textured differently from the rest, you could apply one texture to those faces, and then use the shift+ctrl+left-click technique to select the rest of the faces. Another example would be to stagger textures across faces.
Okay, so I can't really see how you could get much use out of this, but it is kinda neat.

Hey... That's odd. Maybe I just got in the habit of using shift+ctrl+left-click all the time, in which case what I described would happen. Silly me. 
Interestingly, using the method that Muzzle described actually doesn't select all the faces automatically, it just reverses whatever mode of selection they were currently in. So if you had any individual faces selected before you shift+left clicked the brush, those faces would then be deselected, and all the previously deselected faces would be selected. It can be pretty frustrating, at times.
There's also that jeep/truck thing that doesn't resemble any real military vehicle... Then again, if we're going to be detailing stuff, we can always just use other textures that weren't originally used for cars, right? I mean, handles and door outlines are like the only things you gain by using those prefab car textures. That, and a highly reduced polygon count, which wouldn't be an incentive for this application.
However, it should be known I'm not entering this minicompo. I just have way too many other projects to work on, and I even promised to make a map for the official TWHL competition.

As I promised way too long ago, here's the link to download Fraps from. I suggest you get it while it's hot, because it's only going to be there for the next five days or so. And if it still doesn't work for people, too bad, there's nothing I can do.
I'm glad I get it.

I think that last one was the best so far.
In an interview with Valve in PC Gamer, it seems like they said Vista would do nothing but make their job harder, but that may have been an entirely different topic... I'll look that up.
In any case, I can't see Valve ditching half their user base by making Steam (or even one engine) incompatible with older operating systems. I think Steam still works with Windows 98, doesn't it?

Notbooks! Are those like, notebooks, but not really?
But if you buy laptops, you obviously can't build it. Unless of course, you're super1337...

Yeah, Rowley, stop being such a nubcaek and build your own.
uhh, XP OEM is the same.No, no it's not, and it doesn't appear that you were even right in the first place. I've reinstalled my OEM copy of XP three times now (once after a motherboard change), and it's still working! GASP!
I fail. 
It's not really that expensive. Home premium is only $119.99 on Newegg, which is hardly more than what I payed for my copy of XP Home Edition.
Still though, I'm not getting Vista any time soon. Its new UI is just ugly, it's all bloated, and it doesn't have any features that I care about. That's right, I DON'T NEED SEE-THROUGH FOLDER WINDOWS!!11! So I'll just wait until they release the inevitable second service pack. By that time, maybe I'll even have a DX10 compatible card.

God, you're such a showoff. You're all "look at me, I'm so 1337, I can make a good looking texture out of a crappy looking picture." Probably wasn't that hard though, eh?
Probably wasn't that hard though, eh?No, 3ds Max is not a free program, in fact it's very far from it. Max is the most commonly used for game development, and that's what all the Half-Life models were made in, so it's probably easier to work with from that standpoint. It's really intended as professional-grade software, which is why it's so damn expensive.

Is that comparable to USD, though? Or is that what it is?
UT2K7, undoubtedly.
That image doesn't even tile yet, so I'd suggest you work on that before anything else. :
For best results, always copy the previous area where the level change was into the new map, right along with the info_landmark and trigger_levelchange, so it'll be lined up perfectly. Otherwise, it can be really really hard to get them set up right.

M_Gargly! Gimme!
When you say you flipped, do you mean you used the manual rotation tool (in the 2d views), or something else? Because if you just rotated it, there's no way you can align two brushes correctly at odd angles. If you didn't do anything wrong though, it's probably just some weird clipping problem, and you should upload it to the Problem Maps section of the map vault.
By the way, is this for Half-Life or Half-Life 2?

If your smart, and don't live in the US, order games off a website.So if you live in the U.S., you're not smart? Or should you only order games off websites if you don't live in the U.S.? Or are games so cheap in the U.S., you shouldn't even bother? The mind boggles.
Somebody really ought to update the Mod DB page. Cobwebs are starting to collect on it.
Yeah, it's in CS too. I'm not sure what you're doing wrong.
Yeah, but barely, and its graphics and framerate sucked. Half-Life 2: Orange is going to include graphical upgrades for HL2 (from what I hear), and episodes 1-2. Those two games have tremendously updated graphics compared to the original HL2
a! Holy cow-shit on a flying pogo stick! What were you thinking when you renamed halflife.wad to "bob" and included it in the download?!?! Not only that, but all the custom wads included could easily have been put into one! That huge download was completely unnecessary. Shame on you!
the anser is clear. Wii > *Now now, Dorian, it doesn't have to be one of THOSE threads, does it? I mean, we don't have to talk about what console we think ">" any other, but if you want to, then fine, let it go to hell that way. :
Athlete, was that the price for HL2 on Steam?
And now on to Dave(spam numbers)...
i'm dissapointed HL2 Black/Orange isn't coming to the Wii.I'm pretty sure the Wii wouldn't even be able to run that.
I find Super Mario World better looking than Metal Gear Solid 2.Well, okay, but are you willing to accept that it isn't, and you're wrong?
Well, I can't explain why you can't find it, but it's a point entity. So click the little entity icon on the left side of the Hammer window, and select it from the drop down menu titled "Objects" on the right side.
It's up for me.
Okay, okay, people, I think we get it. If you want to find a torrent, you'll go to any number of torrent sites you've probably already heard of. Back on topic now, please.
Err... Boy, I was hoping this wasn't going to become one.
Jimmi: How do they even get away with that?!?

Ha, well, it's kinda refreshing to hear every once in a while that somebody's not willing to pirate something just to get the software they want.
Yeah, it's too bad. Nobody seems take Nintendo consoles seriously anymore, so they end up being systems populated by some good Nintendo games, a couple lame ports, and kiddie games. Although this may not seem the case at the moment, with this new console just released, it's likely the games will be even more kid-oriented the older it gets.
60 dollar games on the other consoles are also completely unnecessary. Games are still being developed on the PC that have huge development costs, and we aren't made to pay 10 dollars more than normal. However, I always just wait until the price drops to around 30 to buy any game. I honestly don't even think most are worth 50, although I'll pay that much if I want the game enough (like when HL2 came out).

So's the You're Winner cup!
Wouldn't having $3,500 to blow make everybody's life easier?
