It doesnt matter where teh FGD is. Make sure you have the most recent version of the FGD from http://dev.valve-erc.com/?go=fgd . I know the hl-cs.fgd in the CS GCF does not work for a few people and appears blank.

in new monsters Post #47735
If you want your monster to have behavior of a certain monster, such as a zombie or hgrunt, you need to rename monster.mdl to zombie or hgrunt.mdl. Then, put a hgrunt or zombie in your map and youre good to go.

in putting models into maps? Post #47734
Also, the NS team will not tolerate their textures being used in anything other than Natural-Selection, so don't bother trying to use them in a CS map or anything other than NS.

in question on wall again =[ Post #47652
You need to make three walls, actually.

First, make the wall/fence/whatever a func_illusionary and set the rendering modes and such.

Then, make two clip brushes the same size as that wall on each side.

I believe we have a tutorial on this same subject if that did not help.

Well, if you want to use them in a mod of yours, you will probably need to make your own.

http://hl-improvement.com has replacement models, but you'd have to speak with their creators regarding mod usage.

If you use an ambient_generic when you want someone to say something, their mouth doesn't move and it looks odd. That's where you would use a scripted_sentence.

in inputting custom .wav files Post #47623
Okay, I'll re-explain what I said in the shoutbox here so it doesn't disappear as quickly.

You do not need to create your own pak files for anything, as pak files are obsolete with the death of WON. Go get Steam as it will update your version of HL.

Sounds need to go into your modsound folder. This is valvesounds for use in HL, cstrikesounds for Cstrike, nspsounds for NS, and so on .

To play the sound file, use an ambient_generic. To make someone say the sound, like a Scientist, use a scripted_sentence. You'll need to add a sentence name and the file path to the sentences.txt to make it work in the latter situation. I believe we have tutorials on doing that.

You can't have two entity types together unless your mod uses the Spirit of Half-Life code options. However, if you want to make the bottles breakable and pushable, just make a func_pushable and set the options so that it can be broken.

You can make swaying areas using a func_pendulum. Make a trigger on top of the area you want to sway that targets the func_pendulum. Don't forget the origin brush.

Er, steam hasn't even been out for a 'few years'. Less than a year if I'm not mistaken.

You'll want the most recent update, nonetheless, in order to play with other people. Just set the games to auto-update and Steam'll make sure theyre always up to date so this problem can be (hopefully) solved and won't occur in the future.

in Monstermaker spawn grenades? Post #47460
I remember a map in HL where two grenades were launched at you when you went trough a door, effectively blocking you from using that exit. It was in the garage level. Decompile that map and look how that was achieved, it could help you on your way...
I believe that the grenade was invisible, as the exploding crates were in the way blocking your view, and all that happened was a grenade timer sound, and then an env_explosion, blowing up the boxes and preventing you from escaping that route.

As for coolant reservoirs, the ones in Bleushift were probably for the teleporter devices there. The Lambda Core may well have it's own coolant reservoirs. Isn't that what you swom through?
Yes, the Bshift coolant resivoir was for the teleporter.

If anyone remembers Lambda core, you had to run around turning on the pumps in the cooling stations for the reactors. You go swimming in the reactor core, though.

Most importantly is the direction - use the little compass in the top-right to point the movement in the right direction. This will move the door in that direction on the Z axis (moving along the top view)
From the doors tut...

That explains it pretty well. You don't need to bother with pitch or roll. Yaw is at the top right.
