One's a problem, one's a question...
First, I want to change the spark sound for my levels. I've tried placing the new sparks.wav into both my mods ambience folder, and the half-life pak0.pak/ambience folder. Niether changed it and its still the normal one... So how do I change it?
Second, monsters. I've got a rather large hollow cylinder. Radius maybe 650 units (So a diameter of ~1300 units). There is a catwalk going around said cylinder's walls ~650 units above the bottom of the cylinder and an equal amount from the top.
Now I first wanted to put a tentacle in the bottom of the cylinder and have him try to attack you on the catwalk if you make noise. He however prefered to peck away at the walls or catwalk 180 degrees opposite me when I ran around. I tried putting info_node's to no effect.
Anybody know how to get the stupid thing to work right?

Elon, have you actually given the thing a good read or are you just being an attention whore 
If its such a waste of time, don't bother with it. We won't be sad that you missed out.

Ack... I'm dumbified by the lack of quick BB : |
The design of the map means in reference to the sound. It won't be so much the physical design of the map alone, but rather how you design it around the sound... Hard to explain in words - Creativity would be a better way to put it I guess.
I'll fix that up in the post.

The team at Egir.dk are holding a mapping contest! Its got a unique theme amongst contests, and some good prizes up for grabs.
You can read up about it at this link:

Good luck to anyone who joins in! : )

I think for avatars, it is fine as it is.
However, for maps, multiple screenshots should be allowed (With a maximum of 3 or 5 or something). Any good map isn't monotonous across it. The setting should vary across the map. Because of this, multiple screenshots allows you to showcase a bunch of your maps prime areas.

I would have made for some stiff competition if my host didn't betray me... Everything betrays me.
I believe I have chosen the lighthouse. There are no pictures of the inside of Battersea and thus it is pointless to map. The lighthouse on the otherhand probably has a basic inside.
This brings up the question, how is judging to be done? Will it be based on how accurately the map reflects the picture, or how well it is based off it. Because in mine, I'm feeling like doing the interior of the lighthouse and placing a rocky edge off to water on the side.

The powerplant may become super complicated. This one isn't so complex, yet still powerful if done right.

I'm thinking of mapping this place out. Battersea Power Plant in the UK (I think its in Liverpool)

If you want I can host your map.Well, I'm hoping that my website designer for my Wall mod will wake up before then and get the site online, in which case I can host it there. I may also be able to host it at www.egir.dk. If worst comes to worst, I'll give it to you to host, but I doubt it will be neccessary.
I have firefox, but it takes a long time to open a browser window and thus pisses me off. I use it when neccessary though.
I shall enter this one, and hopefully not get screwed like with lycos.
I passed level one, but my IE is a fucktard and errors at everything so i can't do level 2.
The FBI shouldn't have the authority to even touch the internet. Goatse.cx is in no way under American jurisdiction to be shut sown especially. Long live goatse!
Argh, I want this leaked Hammer so I can get a head start on my mods physical structure
That question's so stupid I can't even begin to answer it!
Perhaps exploring the cave on your own would allow you to judge whether or not its true or false.
Make the floor a func_wall_toggle with a name the same as the trigger_autos target to make it switch
"Mini me, we don't eat out kitties ear"
Hipocrite alert!
Everybody hated Xen for some reason. I liked the Xen maps, they were challenging and well designed with some nice sequences.
He could move, he only bumped his head.
If you had some satanic creature chasing you, I bet you'd high-tale your ass out of any place fast.
A story like this could be adapted into a good movie.

Wow, very interesting story. I hate to think about the demon they may have unleashed upon us.
Really, I never have problems with Hammer compiling. Sure, it locks up the editor, but I can open up a second copy. Memory usage? maybe a megabyte, which can be stored on the CPU caches anyways.
If I'm wrong, I stand corrected, but don't point entities add 1 (Or 6) to the epoly count?
epoly is for models, wpoly isa for any form of solid brush
They are in zhlt.wad
Just add all the textures of ZHLT into a custom wad that you are including in the map.

Not possible unless you make a custom coded mod that mixes spirit and CS together. Wait for HL2 and you will be able to make WORKING/Non buggy vehicles with mounted guns.
I'm guessing your basing this on the "Openable door with a turning handle" trick?
Nevermind, SlayerA found the solution. For some reason, the trigger auto decided to get upset about having its state set to off... Never used to give me that problem, but I guess it's become fussy.
MONSTERMAKER
Name : No explanation needed here.
Monster Type : put the type of monster in here. IE: monster_zombie
Children's Name : Nothing needed here unless you want the monsters to do something with ai-scripts
Number of monsters : 1
Frequency : -1
Max live children : 1
Now, depending on how you want the game to figure if the player has entered the area, you make either a trigger once, or you set another objects target to the monstermaker's name (useful with func_breakables).
For multiple monsters, just make a bunch of monstermaker's with the same name.

Trigger_auto triggers it 1.5 seconds after the level starts (Because the level fades in).

Ok, this is really pissing me off. I copied a working camera from one of my previous maps into a new one. The only thing I modified was the position of the path corners (I also removed a few extra ones, but I checked them for connection).
Anyways, camera doesn't want to activate. I'm sure I've checked everything, but it still doesn't work. To avoid detailing every entity, I'm just tossing it in the problem maps section.

You point it to halflife.exe... Someone can fill in the rest, I don't touch steam.
Both... Although I can get 2 modellers to cover both of them.
And texture... er... people
Yeah, I know every mod is short on these. Although I could take up coding and texturerering, I would prefer someone with more experience.
Anyways, for those that don't know, I (Will be) making a Half-Life 2 mod based on Pink Floyd's The Wall. Currently I'm just building the simple parts of the movie, and the full development will start after HL2's release...
Yeah

Edit posts as well.
Sigh...
1. Remove the @ from your folder name, the compile tools dislike that
2. Download Zoners Half-Life Tools and replace the Q-Tools as compile tools. It is available at http://collective.valve-erc.com

Just don't run RAD.
But you can create the illusion of it being a moving door with breakable glass. Its too detailed to explain here
If you have a major sound editting program, this effect can be achieved with one ambient generic, and a looped sound with doppler shifts applied to it.
Ok, the post I made above is very self explaining. Make those 3 entities, and give them those properties. Its really simple.
Oh, so you want them to start drwoning instantly
Trigger_Hurt:
Name: Don't give it a name or it will require a trigger_auto to target it.
damage/sec: 8
Master: hurt_ms
Env_Global:
Name: Same as the func_water
Global state: drown
Trigger Mode: Toggle
Initial State: On
Multisource:
Name: hurt_ms
Global State Master: drown
Whatever activates the water also toggles the global state from on to off which turns the multisource on or off, which in turn turns the trigger hurt on or off.

If they come in a txt, doc, or single html document, then it can be made into a pdf easily.
Set the water type to slime or lava. It may give the wrong icon on the hud, but only jackasses will complain aboot that.
He wants the CS Entity guide in a Adobe PDF file.
I don't know where to get one unfortunately.

It's probably better that you just plan out a mod for HL2 to get working on when it comes out...
By the way, if that... thing in your display pic is smoking pot, the eyes are all wrong. Only the nasal side of your eye becomes bloodshot (I speak from lots of experience

It may just be another loooong wait.
