... isn't really very useful for a complete beginner, in my opinion. I much preferred having a book.
Looked to me like you were saying to tap that into the console.
Anyway. Closed.

I highly personally recommend this book. It would probably be a good idea to get a book on basic database concepts, too, or even an SQL-specific one (SQL being the de facto database handling language for online databases).
You shouldn't need to do anything, basically.
No, with the KillTarget field of a trigger_relay.
Elon, the winner chooses the next competition. You'll have to either win it, or convince an indecisive winner that it's a good idea.
Delete the ambient_generic when it's played?
Good stuff. You'll get exactly what you want then.
For now, thread closed.

Must be some strange thing with your PC.
I just wondered because of all the 'A's with ^ on before all your pound signs.
Google, there're countless hundreds.
What's up with all the "?"s? I thought you were English?

There's really no point. Just say "I'll buy a PC when I have x quid" and then shop around when you get there. You aim for a PC like that now, it'll've fallen in price and relative power by the time you get there.
Don't get a Dell, they've fallen hugely recently.
Are those meant to be just pound signs? Just nine hundred quid?
Get some small PC shop to assemble it for you if you don't want to yourself (although there're hundreds of guides on the 'net to building it ? plus you only learn by experience).
I'd also recommend that you go for an Athlon64 over a 32-bit Intel, plus don't skimp, well, anything. Maybe drives. Not on the power supply, though!
Make sure you get a decent sound card too.
I'm not at all sure there's any point at all in working on specs now, though. For in eight, nine months' time? Everything'll've changed. Just save up a certain amount of money and buy the best PC you can at the time.

skill 0-3, I believe.
Well, they seem to be available here. Hope that helps. If the ones on the links page don't sort 'emselves out, I'll update the links page.
Yes, use the "TriggerCondition" field of the monster set to "Death", and "TriggerTarget" to be the name of the counter.
Cause of Death, my first completed real map, for a compo. here, took a few hours to compile.
Yeah, the VM tool is pretty superior. The only thing that the clipping tool's really useful for at all is breaking brushes in half along a line, and even that is easy to crate invalid brushes with.
You guys have no idea what a long compile is :|.
Yeah, as jaardsi said, turn on Texture Lock on the top toolbar.
You've gotta find the leak. Have a look at the gamedesign.net link I mentioned.

What happens if you try to put stuff in? Are you saying that you can't see anything in the buyzone? If that's it, just move the camera into the block and you'll be able to see the stuff inside; you also might want to see the Visgroups tutorial.
Move everything further from the edges? Why so close? Surely it's not that big?

By the way, here is a site about RSS, if you're wondering what it is.
They all have the same endings (blah~vis.exe -> newblah~vis.exe, etc., for example vis.exe -> hlvis.exe).
Hey, don't worry about it, just answer stuff where you can :).
Yes it is. You can use that to effect other things. Getting them to strike buttons with health set, perhaps? Not done it myself. I know it's possible, though; Slayer's used it in a competition map, I believe.
The News page will do something different in a bit. In fact, I can comment it out now as I've moved the RSS feed image.
Don't replace anything in the PAK, there's never any need. Files in Half-Lifevalvesoundsplayer replace the equivalents in PAKs.
my version of worldcraftI originally opened this thread before your VHE-mentioning reply.
What do you mean that would be inconsistant? Green is inconsistant.I meant not having dots next to some. It'd make the alignment as messy as it used to be.
There will definitely be a key on the forum list page.
Kasperg: easy, and will be done, particularly now that there's a decent selection of mods.
WCD: they're all pretty easy ;).
Get Hammer, for a start. WorldCraft was updated and renamed years ago. Get with the times!
Try hunting at Counter-Map.

Yeah, s'nice.
It's quite possible.
Interesting idea, the new map indicator. I may do something.
Thanks, pepper :).
SpaG, don't worry, I can do it myself ;).
WCD: that would be inconsistent.

Replace the sounds with silent ones, then.
Too late.
Well, for that, all you need to do is turn any old brush into a func_wall, rendermode 'texture', render amount 0. That'll give you a totally solid invisible brush.
Crude oil sludge extract? Slag extract?
They'll be better. The locked and stickied things look too similar for my liking at the moment.
Added a "propose tutorial" page. Look under the Tutorials heading on the nav. bar.

The * was a bit simplistic.
The last three images are, at present, all the same. Any indications otherwise are just an optical illusion :). They will be different, though.
A good idea. I approve :).
You're thinking of my Cutscene Example Map, here.
The thing about cutscenes is that the entities used aren't perculiar to cutscenes. You use ordinary entities as you would elsewhere in a level. I remember finding it rather hard to get the hang of.

Don't include the .wad extension with -wadinclude, by the way.
I appreciate the thought, but it really isn't any bother :).
Ant and Rabid are both against the idea, anyway. Thanks for the input, though.
You'll notice the new thread state indicators. Sorry to confuse you; here's a nice key:

They'll all be made nicer shortly. They're just placeholders, really.- Normal thread;- Thread with new posts;- Locked thread.- Sticky thread;- Sticky with new posts;- Locked sticky.
Horrible. It's like, salt + black industrial waste goo.
Uh... yes. It sounds stupid.
