@solo
would it be difficult to make a simple menu with different skills, e.g. pistols, medicine, hacking? surely it would be easy to create experience points that the player receives for killing a monster. And a menu with skills? Can you write me a tip in a nutshell? I'll try to figure it out myself, if I have a problem I promise to flood your inbox with spam! :P
but seriously i would like to make a mini rpg like this out of half-life

in Using AI to create textures Post #347386
Welcome my former comrades from the forgotten depths and rubble of the Black Mesa laboratories. Recently, while creating a small project, I found that I was missing content to make me feel that the map or game I was creating was pretty.
Probably some already use AI to help but I would like to show in this topic some textures to create in openjourney. It would be cool if we expanded the topic with more posts where everyone uploads some texture and captions it with what AI created it.

prompt: nordic viking wall ornament texture Size: 512x512
ai: openjourney - https://huggingface.co/prompthero/openjourney

There is probably also a command that will make the texture tileable but.... out of laziness I didn't look in the documentation :) Probably such textures will have to be slightly tweaked in the graphics program anyway.
ps. unfortunately I have exceeded my token limit and will have to wait longer before I can create any images, have fun

in Sending signal to server from game Post #345905
Hello. You could try Google Firebase Realtime Database and from the game save some information/data to the database. Then in your front-end project you check the changes that happened in this database. I don't know how it looks in React but you probably need to write some lines of code in lifecycle hooks. I create pages in Vue 3 and there is onMounted().

I have never yet connected to firebase from a project written in C++ but I think it could be an interesting idea.

Would it be possible to make an API call while playing? You could then download some information to make the gameplay different and dynamic each time. I was thinking about firebase from google.

Is the "half-life-updated" repository the main one on which I can create mods? Because I saw on your GitHub another project "HLEnhanced" and I don't know where to start.

offtopic:
I gave a follow on your github,
ps. check out my github and also give follow [:

I do some programming in c++ but I have never done anything in half-life source code. Would it be difficult to write such an entity, when after pressing E (Use) a text label with some text will open for me? I would like there to be some logs, notes that can be read in my mod.

i remember when i was playing Half-Life 1 on single player and there was a zombie with eating animation but when i step close to the monster he stopped eating animation and started to attack me

in Modular level design in Half-Life? Post #338586
the test map has been compiled well so i am going to detail a bit more the level and i will post a playable map with gameplay and screenshoots as soon as possible

i don't know if that information is important but i think that the compiler has reduces all the modular brushes

"Reduced 3830 planes to 1086"

in Modular level design in Half-Life? Post #338575
I have started a small project, my test map has not been compiled yet so i can't tell u how that will look like, perhaps there mighty troubles compiling so many brushes (i hope not... :( )
The idea behind this is to speed up level creation and make it more funny and easier than it was before.
My brushes are 128x128 and all of them are grid snapped to each other. One of the most trouble things are corners where one of the wall is going to have different lenght than the "base" modular wall. I think level creating is going to be a three step process:

1) Creating modular brushes depending on the level theme
i think it would be the most time consuming, because u will create hundreds of modular stuff following a theme u need at the moment (underground theme or maybe laboratories), but it might be also the funny time
User posted image
2) Starting to build a level.
most of that time u will just duplicate modular brushes, and rotate them

3) Placing details, lights, models, prefabs...
detailing the modular level, u should place them wisely, one of the most important thing is "to break modular look and fell" of the map

the article in the link below helped a bit

I've always liked the Map From Layout concept, myself.
good idea but i think it might be better if we set up a rule:

in is it possible to create a "surviva Post #331251
well i was thinking about this when i have played Starbound. The player will be gathering minerals and crafting ammunition... for the entity mineral destroyed player will gain points. The points u could change in a forge into weapons, ammunitions, items etc... the monsters will be respawning just like in System Shock. There would be cold enviroment where the trigger_hurt damages player. I would enter the player into a story line too. He will be finding ancient technology, abandoned data disks, logs, mails. There will be a space ship with a command room and and there will be a big map texture on the wall and u will be able to push a button on it and get teleported into a planet :o It would be more like a mod where u travel throw the maps and explore level design, discover the history of current planet than kill headcrabs and cook them. I think it might be interesting experience to create barren locations. The textures won't be a problem. There are a lot of resources on cgtextures.

what do u think? is it possible to do all the crazy stuff without coding?
