Looks like an env_beam accumulation. Btw: If you want to use it as a teaser, start hl with -32bpp to get away those ugly 16bit relics.
You are besides not the first one who made those experiments.

It's not env_beams...
Mmh, I already told it... well, too bad, my mind wanders off to my exams now and then... :
I'm not the first one who has tried this? Oh, I would gladly believe so. In fact, I was inspired by a way some other engines create their light beam effects. It can be done in HL too but has some limitations. Only useable in certain spots. Still, very nice effect I think...

SFX? That seems to have something to do with sound...
But anyway, I might make some tutorials after my exams. How about low-poly, good looking, irregular moving water? Or irregular flames instead of your ever-repeating fire sprite?

i really should try this effect wiht movingtextures,

Entity list? Ah, well, nothing serious. A variable amount of func_illusionaries.
But as I said, I will give away my secret after my exams.

The most groovy thing on theHL engine is James Bond: Nightfire. Boring, but amazingly huge and detailed levels.

I'll tell you what groovy means:
Groovy is when you blow the head off a deadite with a sawed-off shotgun
("...Sumthin' out there.......in those woods........in the dark.........a-and that witch down there! that's only part of it.........")

Yeah but, it's not the stock HL engine (from an interview):
"The engine that Gearbox is using for Nightfire has the Half-Life engine as its base but as Marc stated, ?There is about as much left of the Half-Life engine in Nightfire as there was of the Quake engine in Half-Life.? "

Wicked. Using a 4 year old engine for a brand new game seems quite stupid though.

Recently, I tried out a Call of Duty editor. So far, I have been able to make a basic map and play it, but I found CoDradiant a confusing editor sometimes. Not really easy to work with. Probably because I'm not known to the controls, still, the camera movement in the editor is far from ideal.
I guess I'm going to stick with HL and then HL2, and get into engine coding a bit this vacation.
Oh, and my lightbeam tutorial will come soon...
