in [release] Half-Life DM GOLD Map Megapack Post #338993
Great work. I guess it should be possible to stop animated lights with a hex editor. A crazy coder would need to be consulted tho. Also it's better not to fix .bsps because that will create clashes, people who already have the map unable to connect, the solution is to rename the map a little. Or well no... editing entities does not cause clashes

You need to explain more clearly what you want. If you just want to spawn with these weapons with a specific amount of ammo magazines/clips then game_playerequip is all you need.

go play with archive.org, crazy amount of old hl editing pages can be found

in Func_detail size limit? Post #337326
if im correct, theres is no difference between func_details being separate or all being a single one, as long as the parameters are identical. It's purely convenience. What matters though, is the "detai level" parameters in func_detail... I'm not too good at it but vluzacn explained it pretty well somewhere... If you have a table and a candle on the table and you want both of them to be details, it's better to have them on different "detail levels", so the candle doesn't cut up the table into this spiral thing. Although from my experience, func_detail isn't that great, sometimes it's better to have small objects as real entities like func_wall or illusionary, because even though func_detail doesn't really participate in VIS calculation, it is still using up some VIS resources, something related to leafs or so, I'm not sure, since they are world brushes in reality.

i guess strafing in a curve is what tricks the speed cap from lowering your speed, stable fps at 100 and jump binded to mouse wheel and a few months or years of practice and you should do it

Yeah... when you have a dm with 10 or 20 players in a small map, all the footsteps, shots, explosions, snarks can easily add up to a 100 at once

in Can I recreate an old game in the Source Post #334189
about details, not really. The smallest grid in hammer is only a limitation of hammer, you can go to thousands of a unit, the precision slowly worsens as you go further from the center though but it might be enough

i think that why its called floating point? because the point only floats like this:

12.345678
123456.78

so as you can see with higher values, less values are left for decimals

in Can I recreate an old game in the Source Post #334183
You should be able to make a 50km sized map in Source, just work on a different scale, there might be enough floating point precision for not too complex stuff

Like in hl1 mod esf the maps are a lot bigger because players are like half the size of a hl player size

in Map'sp lights. How to make it fade? Post #333774
but I mean HL supports dynamic lights, even Quake did, the one casted by explosions, rpg and stuff. You would just need to create a simple entity to use it manually in maps...

in Map'sp lights. How to make it fade? Post #333770
you could fake it with an illusionary texture, gradually changing it opacity with many env_renders, or with static animated sprites

Jessie, that would probably be very unreliable

in Map'sp lights. How to make it fade? Post #333765
you can have fading lights initially off but the problem is that when you turn them on, they dont start from the beginning but from anywhere in the cycle... it seems like the frames are advancing even when its off. Maybe you could code something. I think I have once seen a fading light in a mod with unmodified engine but dont know how it was done...

in {Masked Textures - Cast Shadow Post #333737
the smaller light source is the sharper will be the shadows, light_spot is the most effective because of its 0 size and the small amount of ambient light it creates
