it's more effective to use vertex tool to make it
even if you used the arch tool before it's a good idea
to put the points back on the grid that way you can link
things more efficent(look at the curves all done with VM)

counting with eyes is the ONLY way to make things look good
if you use the units all the time you end up with a very lame
map evey time, use you a barny as your guide and make things
look good in relation to the barney!!

try 2000, that's what i do, of my maps or they lag bad(haha)
ok i waS MAKING THE SAME THING :
1: make you train give a name and a GLOBAL NAME
2:put both train in the 2(of more) maps the train goes to
make sure the names mach and it worked for me
that way it will go through level change!!

ok i want to stop the player from running in my mod
because i use real scale and hl run is about 50km/h(haha)
anyway i want barnies to start shooting the player if he runs
and they see it, is there a codeless way to make barnies
mad at you for running??

not even, just copy anyformat into clipboard and you can paste
into wally, keep in mind they need to be multiples of 16 pixels

wow i did't know that thanks alot!!
now i can use my big textures!!

ok i know that you mean, use spirit and add a light fog that would start
about 400 blocks form the player. and tune cut off so it looks like it's fading away. if worked great for me!!
p.s. env_sky is for 3d skyboxes and the lighting for it is buggy.

they move WITH the train but they do't go into the new map with it
ps: some more pics of my modhttp://photobucket.com/albums/y166/seadao/
ok that worked great thanks, but i have a new problem the glass windows(func_brakable and move with train) don't get transpored with the train, if there is a way do do it please tell?
ok does anyone REALLY know how to do this??
decomping a map like that doesn't really give much info

try changing some of the lights to texture lights and only keep three
light entities to get the effect.

that's right the QC file IS the code "Quake C", created by carmak so
when you compile the model you change the code of the model

in onrail, the train really does go between maps becasue you can leave
it runing and it will return in time. and if you go betewwn maps during that time it's position is coreect every time!

ok i have a triger_levelchange and info_landmark but what do i need
"transition for??

ok go into your world spawn setting(where you pick the sky) and put a say yes to start with hev.
ok i remember in hl intro and onrail part the train can go form one map to the other, same for barnies, i'm not shure how to make that,
i have a functrain that i want to go from one map to the other(tunnel)
i tried making a new func train in the new map but the position of it
changes(after going through once next time you appear not in a train or stuck in it.

yes func_wall works and also func illusionary works as well(very usefull)
keep in mind the "light" map from and tex light will not move with the car use elight of dlight for that

and if anyone wants to have reflaction in their mod, they have the code for it for copy and past on their site too, fog also other cool stuff
well they also are working on a weapon generator utility for hl1
that requres no coding and then you paste the stuff, for now it's limited but what a cool idea, also they are working on an engine called Volatile3D what will be like hl but improved in regard to the limitations

ok this is really cool, half life with bump mapping and shadows and lots of other cool stuff, these guys are ahead of the spirit team, at leat before 1.5 official comes out all should try this, it's like a new excuse to play HL again!!http://chainstudios.narod.ru/hlfx.html

ok i got some direct sun light to show up by messing with light_env
but no indirect light , so looks very bad

ok null on the inside of sky(level) and inside of the sky(box)
so light at all but fog in the skybox??

#9. Re: Lighting in env_sky?
Okay, I will better explain: ( I made some changes since my last post )
You want to build a map, with an env_sky.
First, you create the map with a skybox.
Then, you create the skyroom with the env_sky inside.
Before if you wanted to draw the skyroom around the map you had to paint your skybrushes with the null texture ( that dont emit any light_env ).
Now, you have just to paint these brushes with a simple texture whose name begin with "sky" ( eg "skysomething" ) because the zhlt tools make the environment lighting and the hl engine draw the env cubemap, from these textures.
After that, to prevent the engine that you dont want that it draws the env cubemap ( that hide the skyroom ) from this texture , you have to put in a shader file a shader as this one:
{ "skysomething"
where "skysomething" is the name of your "null-texture-that-draw-the-sky-room".
The flag "Invisiblesky" to indicate that is a invisible sky ( but that draw the light env anyway ).
The shader system ( like quake3 shaders, not hl? ) is a tool that alow you to apply or change several texture on one.
For example, this shader:
{ "maxwalltile_l"
this is what the spirit forum told to do, i don't get it i made the skyenv texture but that didn't work and shaders??
i'll try the that WCD

ok i'm currently trying to get the 3d skybox working in spirit
so the problem is that when you put the sky box in
the light(light env) and fog only work inside the skybox and don't
effect the level,
i'm looking for a way to make null texture project light like the sky texture, i tryed making invisible func walls with texture light on them
but that doesn't give direction to the light, i also tryed putting sky on invisible func wall, but you can't have sky on func wall(for some reason)
i anyone got this effect to work i need to know how
P.S. there is a "tutorial" on the spirit forum but i can't understand it
they are using some kind of shader system to fix the problem
SO if any one know how to get the null to act as sky of how to use shader i would really like a vey detailed explanation.

here are some pics of the mod i'm workinf on right now for the summer
any way if some modeler wants to model pedestiran for me please do
i was thinig of stealing them out of HL2 but didn't want to waste the space and time insatlling HL2 again........(that's right) so if a modeler can make me pedestiran that look kinda like in hl2 ex: kinda grey cloths
they are all wearing, the mod is taking place in a communistish era.
I NEED MODELS FOR PEOPLE, if you can base them of scientist's sceleton so i can script for them like scientists that would rock cuz that's what i'm doing, some kinda police man would be good too for barney!! PLEASE HELP mapping is gonna take a while for this!!

i was thinking there was a way to script the movement seperate for the ones getting off, but how it's not like walk they will be sitting of stanging and moving at the same speed as the train
ok i haven't been here in a while, i'm working on my mod so i have some questions.
1: i have a train(func train) and i want it to have a driver and passengers, so i use move with to the driver but i also want to script some passengers getting off the train so i can't use move with on them how an i mae it so when the train comes they can get off of it??
2: can i turn off the HEV(strip the player of the hev) in the same level the HEV was gotten, but started without the HEV?? i know i can start a differen level without the HEV but i need the player to lose it in mid-level
p.s: i want to post some pic what the best place to host??

i use Q2BeaVeR it's so easy and ive been using it for years in quake 2 days
ok the rain stops when using more than 50 per env rain
why does it stop when player starts waling?????????????
and i'm looking for more filling rain, very heavy, can you give me some relative numbers to get that ????
and i'm looking for more filling rain, very heavy, can you give me some relative numbers to get that ????
ok i'm trying to get a very thick rain, so combined with fog it makes visibility hard(don't car about r_speeds due to using cut off) but i can't get the rain constatly flowing, it goes i bursts, can some one tell me how to get the constant rain effect!!??
ok i was wondering:
when i make a func wall, it doesn't split world brush but does it split another func wall?? or does it split the brushes that are in the same func wall????????
the reason i ask is that i made alot of detail in a place and really want to cut on the splitting.. so i looked around with gl wireframe and saw that my func wall was carving it self.. what's up?? and i have also seen my other func wall not carving??

it's funny but i like the way old rad looks, the new rad smooths too much
i compiled my map with the new rad and switched to the old one, it's so much more mystirious*

is it possible to replace one kind of texture for another in the entire level
i want to simply replace one texture with another everywhere in the level is there a way of doing it so you get rid of !ALL! of the old texture and replace it with the new??

yo man it's russian ok i know it, the sighn in the zombi town on the big building says "tsement" that means concreat in russian, there where a bunch more in the city that were funy but i don't rebember like cafe baltia and stuff like that also the trains are all russian, and the buildings look like common russian apartment.
-ps what letters that the russian doesn't are you taking about?

that's what i menthey man i beat all of hl2 without a problem on defult settings
my specs:
900 duron @ 1148 109-145-10.5-1.85v
gforce440mx(no shader support)
and 512 ram, only slows down when i have too may team mates at the same time. you might be able to run it on low and get good rates!!
p.s i decompiled my hl2 so that might speed it up too
