I'm saying that you need to move the scientist entity and the scripted_sequence so that they do not touch any brushes. The yellow stuff appears when a visible entity (ie monster) is partially stuck into a brush.
I don't think this is possible, though there might be something to do this in the SDK.
Move the scientist in such a way that his bounding box is not stuck into a brush.
Aah! Did you have to post that right before bed 
? That's going to give me nightmares of the mysterious users 2 and 3! They will haunt me in my sleep!

Do you have the latest DirectX drivers and the latest drivers for your video card?

I know you all like screenies, so check out the new Ready Room ones.
(Yes, they are dark, though I just wanted to get teh thing compiled to show some progress, and those pesky leaks held me back an hour or two
). I'm working on getting some monitors/machinery/something that has light! into the map so it has some brighter lighting but still keeps the same setting...I'm contemplating adding a furnace-y machine [ooh, fire!] and some other light-emitting devices.
Enjoy the update.

Er, oops, I mean the LD one is the culprit and sinks inteh the floor.
Seventh, If you would be so kind as to climb up and start the roto...I mean if you would be so kind as to move my sequence a tad so Barney doesn't look godawful and go into the floor, I would be extremely grateful.

Possibly, though I doubt it.
Are you using the decal tool (Ctrl-D) or are you using an infodecal entity placed manually?
It's just a game thing that it needs to understand the sentence group.
You need to select the floor texture, then click the replace button, then in the box it pops up showing two different textures (one's black at the moment) click 'Replace' under the blank texture box, select a texture, then click ok.
Use an env_render. When triggered, the properties of the env_render are applied to the entity the env_render targets.
Afaik monster_generics are not implemented in DPB, much like how they do not work in Cstrike either.
You need to use cycler or cycler_sprites in this case - as your cycler seems to be causing problems, try the sprite. You have to manually enter the model name, though, as browsing, uh, looks for sprites.

I even tried adding ! before model name because on some site I heard you had to do thatThat's for sentence groups.
Source supports realtime reflective surfaces like Swat3, unlike Half-Life's current engine.
Use an info_map_parameters, and set Weapon_Buying to Neither CT's nor T's can buy guns.
You need to un-GCF the files to be able to use them.

Get GCFScape there and unpack the CS files you'd like (usually models, sounds, sprites and textures) to your@username/Counter-Strike/cstrike.

Rabid put in some kinda were house so i continued thatMore of a storage room, really.
On this subject, did the falling barney issue in my area get fixed? It only works with SD or LD models, and I remember teh SD one sinking into the floor...
A leak error always gives the name of the point entity nearest to it. This can often help in certain maps, in a recent NS one I managed to narrow down the leaks to my Ready Room, where the only info_player_start entities were in the map. If all your leaks are in the only point entity in the map, however, things get a bit more peachy. Use the pointfile to your advantage here, it can usually track down nasty (mostly) invisible leaks and if you have Hammer 3.5, it can show the pointfile in editor, which makes things easier too.
Davideo, I've done the VM work and uploaded it to my site.
http://dhost.info/RabidMonkey777/files
It's called bg_rm_ver3.zip or something like that...that's the most recent version.

I called RAD Radiant, the name of the Doom/Quake editor, and not Radiosity. Hence my remark on doom editing.
(too many entities that get complicated lag it)It's not just entities. Lots of complex brushes or decals can lag maps too.
RAD = RadiosityThat's what I meant to say
. All this Doom editing is getting to me...He has pics, and the terrain/Vm work is done on the cliffs.
Yes, func_conveyors move func_pushables.
You can use env_shooter too, if you want your gibshooter to make something other than bloody gibs, like metal or computer gibs.
You need to use wav for custom music, but target_cdaudio works with the CD tracks, which are now MP3s and if you work on mods, custom "CD tracks", which can be MP3s. .
You can ungroup and take off the top bit of the ashtray. It's only two pieces, y'know. And it's a cylinder, just an 8 sided one 
.
Arch tool is an idea, though it takes a fair deal of VM to get it to align to the cylinder shape to make the barrel bits on the bottom. It's easier to just hollow in this situation.

It is impossible. They probably had a func_wall that had the room 'mirrored' on the other side...there's a tut on it here.
Yes. The new NS installers search for your SteamAppsHalf-Life folder automatically, though.
It doesn't show the games in my games? That's odd. Try a Steam reinstall?

@Habboi: Substing things doesn't make a new drive - it simply creates a drive which acts as a shortcut to a folder, or program.
Well, its looked down upon to use others' work without their permission.
If you ask teh creator of the model/SvenCoop team if you can use it and they approve, then it should be okay.

The train shape requires quite a bit of VM, Shearing, and clipping, but it can be done! Take screenshots and practice and you'll get it, it obviously wasn't made in 5 minutes.
Track is easier - Shearing and clipping.
The door and the wheels were done with a few func_doors, func_rotatings, and probably a multi_manager/multisources, and some clever scripting.
I've seen that pic before, though I don't remember it on a mod...it was on ytmnd.com on a little movie thingy.

Er, my post was supposed to have a comment on the "Token too large on line 5". That long error bit from Tommy14 refers to the "Token too large" error.
You can have a func_train that goes the length of the corridor, and then have the func_laser target the name of the func_train....dunno if that's the effect you want though.
Ok, think three times that because I split the squares into triangles and the ground up to make terrain.
Yes, I haven't compiled but I assume it's pushing it's limits right now.

Ah, you could always go with Softimage|XSI for HL2 modeling. It's the tool VALVe uses....
Tools in the SDK can probably recompile for you.
My hands are tired, and I don't think it's too much to ask someone to search a forum page for an answer, especially when I've provided the link.
Naaah, if you're getting into hardcore modelling and such, you want more than Milkshape...3dsMAX and Maxon 3D are excellent programs that are much more effective and more stable than MS3D IMO. They are expensive commercially but if you search enough you can often find enormous educational discounts for non-commercial usage, which is fine unless you want to release your mod commercially and charge for it.
You'll also want the HL SDK from the ERC, thats a must for any mod makers, and you want to get things like Kratisto's MDL Decompiler, and the utilities that come with the SDK like StudioMDL and some other programs.
As always, make sure you have the latest ZHLT and you should be good to go.

It's in the 'Crates' category.
If you still dont have it, just make a cylinder, then do the same as I described above.

You don't need liquids.wad, and in most cases I recommend against it, it doesn't have that great a selection of textures for that valuable wad position out of 8.
Any texture with ! in front will work, and there are some nice ones in halflife.wad.
You don't always have to change it to func_water either. If you dont want waves, leave it as a func_wall or world brush and it'll still act like water.

Most textures can be used on both entities and world brushes, though there are cerain restrictions on certain ones.
ORIGIN is always used as part of an entity, it's the point on which a rotating item moves.
CLIP cannot be part of entities. It blocks player movement and is transparent.
{textures with blue are used with a func_wall or other SolidEnt with rendermode Solid and RenderAmt 255, which makes the blue transparent.
{textures with white are used with infodecals. and appear in game as one color, not greyscale.
SKY makes sky and cannot be an entity.
-0, -1, etc. are randomly tiling.
+a, +0, etc are animated.
! is liquid.
~ are light emitting textures.

The "too many wads" as mentioned above. 8 wads in WC/Hammer is a good limit, more may cause this error among others. If you are using more than 8 wads you can use Wally to combine the extra wads into one custom wad.Probably that "program files" or the long pathnames.
Too long a path/name for the map or compiling tools. Only a limited amount of memory is set aside for the path/names. Solution is to move the compiling tools or map into a shallow folder.
Having a space in a path/name. Examples: frequently Program Files is part of the path name. Compiling tools do not like the space between "program" and "files". Solutions are to either use the MSDOS pathname, or to move the offending files from under the spaced folder, or put quotes " " around the whole path name in WC/Hammer so that windows uses it right. If your map has the space in its name (eg. Bob map), remove the space and change it to (Bobmap).
I posted something about using MSDOS 'subst' to fix the problem, do a forum search for subst and see if you can find it.
Read Andy's post more carefully.

If you would have done a forum search, you would have found the following thread and thus have an answered question.

Sounds like VALVe to me.
Re-setup hammer using G:half-life as your HL directory, G:half-lifevalve as the game dir, etc. and try recompiling.
Hollowing isn't a great practice either, but its very handy in these sorts of situations.
