You don't have to get your geometry on the grid.
You have to be careful with the clipping tool. Get VHLT and get vluzacn's float enabler for VHE. Such small items were always problematic in HL but with VHLT it's way easier, read about the new entity func_detail. The float enabler will let to compile your objects as you see them in the editor because by default VHE snaps everything to grid before compiling.

It's not the texture size that matters, it's the scale, if all textures are scaled down a lot then you're gonna reach light data limit very soon. 1024x256 works but I think it gets distorted like 192, 48 etc
looks good! i guess low poly+no filtering complements each other
when u serach for forum posts and u get a result for example the wip thread it just goes to the first page and so its useless, should go to the specific page or even line
Yashka, if youre making a mod you can set gl_texturemode to gl_nearest_mipmap_linear and textures will not be filtered even in opengl
i dont see why you couldnt compile it with any c++ compiler
are you using ZHLT or VHLT?
just smells funny
I have heard that sohl code is way messier than the original hl code...
dive into the web archive, tooooooooons of hl coding tutorials
my 3.5 doesnt crash but it needed some fix in the .cfg
Maybe you could have multiple buttons triggerable by damage and point them to a multisource so only with explosions you would trigger them all at once but you should get hl sdk, its really not that hard to code such things
there's a console cmd in hl2 thats outputs 6 skybox images for the current camera position
eat your buddies and barbecue them afterwards instead, that will be a real halloween movie

thats what the radius options are for in light_spot, u can make it something between a spot light and a point light

I guess they are both
isnt the red circle the condom thing?

I've seen one decent tutorial on HL weapon coding somewhere deep in webarchive, tho you gotta find it yourself!:p
Simply give the spotlights a very narrow angle, like 10 degress, bring them close to wall and point them upwards (with info_target?) maybe you can use the pitch yaw roll dunno and the wall has to have a texture with small enough scale, at least 1.0, if the scale is very big you wont get that beam so defined, you dont need to make the entire wall 1.0 or 0.5, just the parts where the light falls
Mapping off grid is not a bad idea, its a great ability if you get hold of it. If you wanna map something realistic, youll never be on grid
ther ar ways to decompile maps so u can see how its done!
I removed that hint skip thing in the middle, compiled with -full and nothings disappearing
Also I noticed that everything in your map is off grid. It's not a bad thing, but relying on grid makes it way easier to map and to avoid bugs. It's nice that youre using func_detail but you dont need to use it for very big walls, they should remain world brushes so visibility can be calculated properly.

can you post the god damn .rmf?
I had a similar idea for a compo long ago, we would all write one detailed story and then everyone would have to recreate it but of course everyone's imagination is different and it would be interesting to see how all the maps differ yet resemble each other. Or anyone could write their story and then only one would be voted out.
This has nothing to do with too many details, it's probably a bug, you should email vluzacn, ive heard hes releasing a new version soon
Low -gamma might help with the contrast but RAD isn't really important. Take a look at Kachito's map, almost exactly what you want: http://twhl.info/vault.php?map=6064
You just have to play with the lighting, sprites, etc, fiddle around more and learn all kinds of tricks and hacks, illuminated textures, conveyors. You CAN make a scene like this in HL1 if you really want.
edit: ops i meant high -gamma, like 1 or 2, default is 0.5

If you are compiling VIS in fast mode first try compiling VIS in normal and -full modes
abbadon, you can make the map as big as the engine allows, it's just a matter of sacrificing detail
vlucazn's tools help greatly with spheres, domes, donuts etc, you can make them with qtools as well, but vhlt's func_detail helps to avoid all kind of bugs and has way better lighting
Yeah, moving to Source would be smarter than implementing such a thing in HL1. Some of these things you can do manually, you make an invisible brush of similar shape inside the model for it to cast shadows and to have player/bullet collision. If you have really big models and their poor lighting makes them look out of place, you can try to bake some shadows or some ambient shadowing on their textures, I've seen this done with Blender for HL1, but then you could just make them out of brushes and since vluzacn's tools have a great entity called func_detail you can do great things with brushes now in HL1.
There is one weird thing about player size in hl, the shape is specified when compiling or something, in some kinda "hulls" file or something... not sure, but ESF (earth's special forces) mod has smaller player models, so u gotta use special values for that otherwise youre floating one meter from the floor or smth as well... vluzacns tools have an entity for this thing, but im not sure really
heres passage from zhlt.info:
"-hullfile file
Load a custom hullfile.
Loads a custom set of hulls for the collision hull generation. The file is composed of 3 lines of 3 whitespace delimited numbers. Each line is an X Y Z size of the bounding box it is for. Only specific mod authors and their mapping teams should ever worry about this feature."

in fact I found Malle's map more fun than the entire Portal 2, lol
what a bunch of idiots, Malle's map was the best so far
about you, orange
Archie, have you thought of using vhlt's info_translucent? might do wonders for this thing
some things might line up, math is full of secrets
for building stuff at weird angles
Penguinboy, ever thought of implementing rotatable grid?
for example the new _spread parameter for light_environment in vluzacns tools might generate 100000 lights if the angle is big but the light style is single
if theyre all without a name or with the same name theyre gonna be treated like one light style
