Aye, first screenshot is a bit too dark. You might want to add some dim lights to light up the catwalk. The other screens give me a "Opposing Force" feeling. Maybe because that scene is kinda like the one in OpFor. I don't remember the chapter title, though.

We don't know! We can't see anything, so why don't you just upload it to the problem map vault, and someone we'll check it out.

Did you set the render amount for the ladder brush? (The func_wall part)

Did you turn the water in a func_water?

And as for the ladder, the ladder is made out of 2 brushes:

• The actual ladder, which is visible, turn this into a func_wall with render mode solid and render amount 255
• An AAATRIGGER texture in front of the ladder which is the invisible climable part (func_ladder)

Try these out.

Are you running Software mode? Software mode can only render 800 polygons. Anything above will dissapear. Its still there, but its simply not drawn by the engine.

The texturing is awesome.

That made me laugh. How can that be awesome? The architecture is only made with one texture. Still, looks nifteh. ^^

Yes.

It did that once, in an old map of mine. Lets see...

Ah, i just used the monster_apache entity, and set the following properties:

Name: chopper (required, even if you not plan to trigger it)

Flags:
Gag, Prisonar, Start Inactive

That seemd to work for me.

Try the cycler entity.

Elon Pro?

muzz tell me - should i continue work on stranded, or should i go with a new idea?

How about both? You seem to map a lot, so you got plenty of time.

Ah FresheD is back. ^^

You got another month to make something, so go for it!

^_^

Y'hear that, people? Go make maps!

You better finish this, Rim, so i can put it on my server.

Wow, thats quick.

Ok what about: February 25th?

Don't know. Ask Seventh.

Dude, you still don't get it, do you? There's so much more you can improve on dm_stranded. But your problem is: you don't see the oportunities. Really :(.

Click Here! By clicking this link, you will gain minty fresh breath, grow half a foot taller and seem more appealing to the opposite gender. Ha, the fools. They'll never know they're being brainwashed.... okay, its actually.. A HOSTAGE SITUATION VIDEO!!!!

W0000T! Awesome dybamic lights! What the hell... And i noticed some horrible ai in very last scene of the video, that human grunts infested area. Do you use info_nodes?

Thanks, M_garg.

Don't know, but it is offline now for ages. You might want to add "Temporary down" next to the link, or try to contact the owner.

Leek-Free is dead, people! Maintain your links!

Don't forgot im also looking for someone who's on my server regulary. I should've mentioned that in the first place, but oh well.

Haahaha... dude, im not going to tell you.

Emule...

Oh well, the compo is still going, There is no end date yet so, if you released a map, improve it! Or make an even better map. Don't sit still. At this point i allready have someone in mind who could the perfect second admin...

O muzzle, how do you think the copying of the AR code for the mini-14 is going to go

I haven't tried that yet. Could you pm me the detail about this? I don't feel like browsing miles and miles of pages in this thread, just find the details about this.

Reinstall. Reinstall everything:

• Half-Life (Steam or non-Steam)
• ZHLT
• Valve Hammer Editor

Reconfigure all of these, and it should work.

I don't believe that HINT/SKIP brush will work in that kind of area. Func_walling complex brushes or groups of complex brushes, should decrease compile time, but r_speeds might raise, unless you nullify those unseen faces. But there won't be much difference.

Use this parameter to increase textute memory:

-texdata 8192

Apply on all tools!

I geuss there's your problem. Somewhere.

You know this delay is all my fault. No really it is. I keep on delaying my HL:HS map, because i begin to loose interest. But don't worry, i won't drop out, i will finish this.

Geez, what the hell did you do.

Did you renamed/moved/deleted any folders/files before the error came up?

Computers don't make mistakes, people do. If you get my meaning.

except
alligning
mesh
skinning
rengade?



Who considers himself a regular visitor of my server?

Argh.

Do not save your .rmf and/or .map file in the bsp directories. Save them in the provided maps directory in Hammer.

VIS stands for visibility. It calculates whats visible and whats not by the player. Fast vis will do a quick job on those and thus more is drawn, causing higher r_speeds.

Full vis is of course only used for final compiles.

Flowtex - Tune In!

I believe your compile tools are not in the correct directory. Default directory should be Hammer/Editor/tools. If this is not the case make sure they are, and check if your paths in Hammer to days compile tools are ok.

Everything is easy when you know to do it. :):P

Hmmmz, so Hunter goes on the skinning spree. Make some civilians for HL: HS. I need some people in my appartment building.

You know what happends when you win, right?

Servers just crash every once and a while.
Its back online now, though.

Strange, i can't find it either. Wtf.

Quote from 69th Vlatitude:

Unfortunately, Valve has not provided us with a complete strings.lst file, so we'll only be able to rely of examples gives from Gearbox's Opposing Force and Counter-Strike

Well, there's your problem.

You can make your own strings.lst file. Simply create a new txt file and put in the following text (As you can see, this is the stings.lst file from Opposing Force):

// String patches

// #define IDS_MAIN_PREVIEWSHELP 400
// #define IDS_MAIN_CUSTOMHELP 530
// #define IDS_MAIN_RETURNHELP 188

Simply change the lines to your likings, and save the file. Then change the file extension to .lst. Put it in the right directory inside your mod directory and it should work.

As for disabling the Multiplayer button, you can make the button invisible by making the words black in btns_main.bmp, but the actual clickable part is still there. I think it needs custom code to disable that too. I don't know who, though.

Very easy way to up your postcount, 7th. You could at least be a little bit more helpfull in this case.

To change the discription next to the menu buttons, find the file called strings.lst which is located in valvegfxshell. If you can't find it there, you can surely find it in the pak0.pak. You can open lst file in any text based editor.

You can also change the color of the dialog boxes that pops up when you click the exit button, or close a game without saving. This is done in the file colors.lst.

Yep, Nemesis made GCF Scape. http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php

HD Barney for teh win!

No they don't.

But ya, the Space Shuttle and the Apollo 11 launch site look almost the same, but there are differences. Look at the launchtower. If you look closely, you'll also see the watertower. As seen on this pic:

NASA will try again on Wednesday, Jan. 18 to launch an Atlas V rocket carrying the New Horizons spacecraft. The launch window extends from 1:16 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. EST. The Atlas V is poised for liftoff from Launch Pad 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

Argh, those links are screwed. :/

Not sure, but this could be the Apollo 11 Launch Site

Some interesting Google Maps shots:

Im watching this too. But it keeps getting delayed. :/
