in general Questions Post #207397
A. It is in fact trial and error until you get it right. Use the Reverse Dir(ection), One Way, X axis, Y axis flags of the func_door_rotating until you got it right.

B. Browse my maps and you'll find an example map on that subject.

C. Use the env_beam entity for that. Take a look at the HL Entity Guide to see how to set it all up.

D. Its done with a trigger_hurt entity. Create a bruch with the AAATRIGGER texture and turn into a trigger_hurt. Again, check out the HL Entity Guide for its workings.

E. Uh... not really sure about that one, check for tutorials and the HL Entity Guide.

F. -

G. Entity Weapon Strip.

H. Read our tutorials.

in little help with buttons and lighting? Post #207395
Hmmm, yer right, env_glows don't have any flags. Env_sprites do, and they are pretty much the same. So use an env_sprite instead.

Keep in mind that:

When flag is named Start On,
checked = start on
unchecked = start off

When flag is named Start Off,
checked = start off
unchecked = start on

THe best piece of software to compile the HL SDK is Visual C++ 6.0. This is what Valve used to programm the game. And geuss what: it isn't free either. But, you're in luck.

If you name the light and the sprite the same, they will both be triggered when the button targets them.

Use the edit button.

The sentences.txt file is located in the pak0.pak file. Use a pak browsing utility (PakScape) to get it. Its located in the sound folder.

You can get PakScape from my site.

in Half life 1 Single platyer maps Post #207049
You can't, unless you decompile the maps. That is decompiling the bsp back to .map so that they can be opened in Hammer. However, doing so completely makes the map uneditable. Decompiling is only usefull when you want to see how certain entity setups are done. Brushwork will be totally screwed up.

Also, decompiling maps and use stuff from it is considered stealing. Contact the author for permission first.

Take the p_, w_ and v_ models from your Blue Shift installation and copy them into the models folder of your modfolder. Like:

Half-Life/yourmod/models

When you start your mod, you'll have the Blue Shift arms.

1.

Use the Idle Animation property of the scripted_sequence. Fill in the name of the eating animation there. When you trigger the s_s, the animation specified in the Animation property will be played.

2. Have you actually added your new wav into the sentences.txt file?

3. Can't remember. :P

4. If you want a monster to trigger something, like opening a door for you, try this:
  • Create a brush with the AAATRIGGER texture and turn it into a trigger_once.
  • Goto its flags and check Monster and No Clients.
  • Go back to the properties and enter the name of the scripted_sequence that will make the scientist to perform his keypad animation sequence.

You can also change the damge value of the ball in the cfg file:

sk_controller_health2 "60"
sk_controller_health3 "100"

sk_controller_dmgzap1 "15"

sk_controller_speedball3 "1000"

sk_controller_dmgball1 "3"
sk_controller_dmgball2 "4"

I don't know which controlls the deathball, but oh well.

Have a look? At what? The problem? Can't have a look at the problem without the rmf file. If you want us to fix your problem, you need to upload the rmf file and upload it to the Problem Maps vault.

For the 24352th time: post the contents of your logfile. The logfile is located in the same directory as where you export your .map file. File extention is .log. If there's no log file, recompile.

Make the texture a 2000+x2000+ pixels and resize it in hammer to get a high-def map.
Please don't. It'll make your HL go !@#$%, if you get my meaning. 512*512 texture sizes are still supported by HL.

in Half-Life: Hostage Situation Post #205754
Chapter 1 (one map by me) is also almost done... But there has been some trouble with chapter 2... Who was doing chapter 2 again? If that person can finish chapter 2, send it to me, so i can "glue" chapter 1 to chapter 2 with a trigger_changelevel. The same goes for chapter 3, 4, 5, etc. When i've received all the chapters, ill connect them with trigger_changelevels, do a full recompile on all maps and prepare it for release. The Hunter will receive the first build and he will eventually make the mod available to the public.

So the question is: Cancel HL:HS development or continue HL:HS development?

[Cancel HL:HS] [Continue HL:HS]

Think, then act. Don't act, then think.

New server rules:
  • Impopulair maps will be removed from the server.
  • Wadinclude, or don't bother me with "Could you put this map on your server" questions.
-Try to limit custom content (custom content = longer download times)

Ill add undertow tonight.
How did you want MuzzleFlash to construct his sentence?
Something like: i had Apex_v2 on the server a while ago, but i removed it, sorry about that, Orpheus. Every time that map comes up, people leave. I know it is not your fault, TWHL just lacks the type of player needed for such maps
That is exactly my point.

@ Ansith: Freshnub never even finishes a map, but you do. So tell him to stop whining. :D:P
