I made a quick event code, I'm not at home right now so I can't test if it works or if it will even compile : http://pastebin.com/FwMXd6QC.
You should be able to retrieve the player's angles client side and trace a line to get the "destination".
Most of the Gauss code that play the sound, show the sprites and so forth are in the Gauss's events. If you disable client side prediction by removing the "CLIENT_WEAPONS" define in both client and server projects properties, you can see that the Gauss will only play the draw, idle animations and the zap sounds.
So all you have to do is look at the Gauss's events to see how it's done.

Glad you liked the country Archie ^^
Yeah, we have different accents and some people are speaking their "regional languages".
I have around an hour of road trip by car from my house to Lille. I think I have 2 hours for Belgium and the Eurostar (France <=> UK).
I visited London with my school but I stayed like 5/6 hours there, couldn't enjoy everything.
Last year I went to the south west of France for my bro's wedding and we went to one of the best touristic city in France : La-Cirq-Lapopie. If I find the photos on my phone's backup.

Beautiful places indeed ^^

You went to Nice ? Damn, I'm at the north of France, how did you like the country ? ^^

It's true nowadays it is not necessary to optimize a goldsrc map as could it be 10 years ago, but I'm wondering the way that vis works in the game.I disagree, some players are still running on Windows XP with 1 core CPU and a few hundred of Mb of RAM and GPU that barely support "modern shaders" and OpenGL versions (3.X, 4.X), it's not my case, but I know some people who does (and they aren't lying, they sent me screenshots of their report with HWINFO32).
Even with fast computers, optimizing to the max can save precious FPS.
"People say that you should not micro-optimize. But if what you love is micro-optimization... that's what you should do." - Linus Torvalds (father of Linux), (2012-06-14). Audience Q&A following interview panel at Aalto University Center.
And I think this is true as well for any aspect of game development and not only programming (level design, art, modeling...)
Rendering is not based upon line of sight. Roughly, if the area the player is in can see the geometry it will render.To be more precise, it's the PVS (Potential Visibility Set).
Please note that my explanations may be incorrect and anyone is free to correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not very good at explaining stuff so I'll try to do my best)
In all maps there is a BSP tree and every "leaf" of that tree represent a "collection of polygons" or an "area" in your map if you prefer. In other words, all those BSP leaves form a single BSP tree which is the map itself.
Every in-game frame, the engine will determine on which BSP leaf you are currently in and calculate which leaves you can actually see and those you may be able to see. Once that process is done, the rendering is done. Bruce mentioned it in his post and I'm gonna post it again for the record : entities are treated differently.
Something you can do is try to help the compilers delimit those leaves thanks to SKIP and HINT brushes. This excellent tutorial will explain you how it works.
A word of warning : don't abuse HINT/SKIP brushes and use it intelligently otherwise you will have the exact opposite effect of optimization, they are here to help but not replace the job of the compilers.
In the case of your map, I would try to cover the warehouse door on the left, the back door on the right and the ventilation shaft entrance at the rooftop (from the level of the roof to the "ceiling" of the shaft). This will separate the "inner" and "outer" parts of your map.
UPDATE : Another good tutorial by Andy posted here on TWHL about HINT/SKIP

I wanted to replay the games the "Lytha way" but I quickly abandoned due to the difficulty xD
The "Lytha way" has 3 rules :
1) Play on Expert.
2) Grab all loot.
3) No damage should be dealt (by you, traps or whatever), exceptions are made if it's part of the mission (Cutty in the Cragsleft Prison of Thief Gold and the archers in the rooftops mission of Thief 2 for example).
Optional but add more fun :

Optional but add more fun :
- Don't purchase anything in the Loadout screen.
- Reduce Garrett's health to 1 HP (in other word, a single damage and you die)
- No blackjacking
First time I finish Thief 2 in Expert and I'm moving on Thief Gold (in Expert too).
Between classes at university or when I'm in the train or bus, I start the PSX emulator on my phone and play Driver ^^

Unless someone says I'm wrong : you can't.
I've been replaying the Thief games ^^
My holidays are over too, time will be highly consumed by university ^^
I think I can do most of the work, if you want to contact me to see how progress is going on or you have any questions or anything else, feel free to add me on Steam (you can ignore the "disclamer" thingy on my profile page).

I modified this value but the player still collides with the clip button you put inside. I don't understand why you make it this way :?I think he has done this in order to be able to get out of the trash. Players don't jump like Iron Man ^^
The best solution is the one that worksAnd optimized ^^
Seems not, but the author is awesome
Delay before close ?
I didn't made Prospekt. If I was the author, I would already be ashamed of myself.
Your problem! I don't do free because I need earn for my life. My wife is from the Philippines and I bring she to Germany - I must pay for visa. It is not free and it is very expensive ( ca 3000 Euro surprised -Please note that what you are going to read below is not meant to discourage you. I'm just telling some facts that you need to be aware of before diving into the unknown.because embassy of Germany is very strict. That is why I want "sell" my finished source mod. And I want enjoy rich life for my future.
TL;DR
- You want to make a paid Source game ? Get ready to give some money to Valve Software.
- I won't spend money (and a lot of players will do the same) on a "map pack".
- Don't make games because money is the only thing in your head. Make games because it's something you love to do and because you want to satisfy your (future) players.
- Don't make your first mod/game a paid one, make it free to see how well you are doing and once you are confident enough, go into the commercial area.
Assuming you want to sell your Source game :
1) Prepare the $25 000 (21 907 euros) to buy the Havok licence, if you are using Bink/Miles Sound System, you will need to pull more money, and here's my reliable source if you don't trust me.
2) I agree with Tetsu0 on the fact that programming is needed even for a sold Source game. Look at "Prospekt" and take this as a lesson, at the time I'm writing this, it has a 46/100 Metacritic. Rock Paper Shotgun, ValveTime, myself and probably a lot of others journalists rated this "game" BAD. Why ? Because it's a 10 euros "map pack" and a "map pack" isn't worth 10 euros, not even 5 euros. To resume : don't make a paid "map pack". If you stick to the HL universe, try to add some interesting new stuff.
3) Don't become like "Overkill Software", I played and followed them for years by pre-ordering/playing/buying the DLCs of PAYDAY 1 and 2 because they were developers that listened to gamers and cared for the community. In other words, they were making games for us (the players). But after the 10th DLC and more specifically the micro-transactions and Crimefest, I stopped because I realized that the developers that I followed for years were obsessed with my wallet and I'm not a money machine. Making games because you want money is not the way to go, you make games because you enjoy that and you want to give to your (future) players a game that they will enjoy for a long time and even play it.
4) Finally, if you have never released a mod/game before, it will be very hard (close to impossible) to meet player's expectations. Making your very first game paid instead of free is a big mistake, because you will have no idea if you will get your money back and/or regain the players trust about your current and maybe future games.

I've been tracking it for weeks already and the progress is nice indeed ^^
For the programming side, I can give a little hand, not on my full time because I already have ARRANGEMENT, TWHL World, other untold projects and university. It depends on what you want exactly : more weapons ? more NPCs ?

@Jessie : they were talking about the "floating precision"
Just by curiosity, does this issue also appear with another editor like Sledge or Jackhammer ?
If you try to compile, does it cause a compile error ?
Which FGD are you using ?
If it's for CS, forgot the particles.
If you don't mind that the effect will be 2D always facing the player, go for a sprite. It's the easiest solution.
Otherwise, you will have to use an animated model and this will be likely complex (unless you find an already existing model).

Animated "env_model", "cycler" or whatever.

Oh no Urby is right because I can not sell Goldsource Mod, Shit that is why I must convert from old Goldsource into Source.If you want to stick to GoldSource. You can send an e-mail to Valve to see if they still allow you to purchase a full GoldSource licence. If you want to sell a Source engine game, you will need to buy the Havok license which is $25k and if you are using Bink/Miles Sound System buy those licenses too.
But Sven Coop has "old version" of Half-Life EngineI thought they were using the latest version. I don't remember SC 5.0 having Direct3D support or scrapped off the SDL2 binaries. Are you sure it's really the case ?
That is why they won't release next version of Valve Hammer Editor because it is enough to use.That version already exist and is called Hammer 4, it is designed for Source 2004 to Source 2013 and the "next-gen" version of Hammer is already developed and it's for Source 2 (see Dota 2 Workshop Tools).
Why do Americans not develop expand of map range from -/+8192 to -/+32768.Valve has stopped the support of GoldSource for years. After they released the 2013 update and fixed the majority of problems, they were done with GoldSource, they moved to Source 2013, Source 2, Steam, HTC Vive, CS:GO, Dota 2 and insert the rest here.
I can not understand because they are sensitive. But Id Software , Quake Mapping hasn't problem to expand map range upto -/+131072.Do you want to know why we can extend the map limits on id Tech engines ? It's because id Software always released the FULL source code of their engines/games and the only people to get their hand on the FULL GoldSource/Half-Life engine are people who either paid for it or earned it (Sven-Coop). It's a shame that id Software stopped that tradition since id Tech 4 (RAGE/Wolfenstein The New Order/Wolfenstein The Old Blood/The Evil Within).
But you can't because map format is "Valve220" just it is not same of Quake map because it is different structure of Goldsource and Quake are very differently. I know you say me reasons....The format isn't a barrier, how Linux is able to read/write on NTFS (Windows) partitions which Microsoft never released the specs for it ? Reverse engineering and testing. How can Jackhammer export to RMF ? Reverse engineering and testing. This how mods for "un-moddable games" are born.
Might work, there aren't many differences between VS2008/VS2010

I finish my whole mess for the slime chunk first, if I have no luck. I move to the stronghold.
NULL brush thick enough
I think it was your first stronghold (the one with the "villager prison").
There are multiple "obsidian towers" of different height with a block on top of them, we need to destroy them with bows and arrows otherwise the dragon will regenerate his health over time.
Once we destroyed enough blocks (or all of them), then we have 2 choices :
1) Standard way : keep spamming arrows until he dies.
2) Fun/fast way : use the fact that beds explode in The End to create "a timed TNT" but this will require us to have armor, potions against explosions or health regeneration to prevent death (Enderman won't attack us if they got hurt by beds).

I'll try to be there for saturday.
For those who aren't aware yet, I'm building a slime farm (for sticky pistons), I'm at the first phase which is finding a slime chunk. I've already dig a 3x3 chunks space but I had no luck, so I am extending it to 5x5 chunks and in the worst case scenario, I'll have to extend it to 10x10 chunks. Any help is appreciated because digging takes a lot of time.

Looks awesome ! ^^
Or why do you not use with Patch Compiler by Nem?I think you mean Batch Compiler ?
IMHO, I don't find this tool useful, to compile my maps, I write my own Batch files or compile directly from Jackhammer. If I need an info about a compiler's parameter either I Google it or I just write the compiler name in the CMD and I got all the info I need.
As a bonus, here's a script I have written and using for final compiles :
@echo offAdvanced users can tweak it to add a variable or make it "drag 'n' drop to compile"
title Compiling map...
hlcsg.exe -estimate mymap
hlbsp.exe -estimate mymap
hlvis.exe -estimate -full mymap
hlrad.exe -estimate -extra -bounce 8 mymap
del /F /Q mymap.ext
del /F /Q mymap.prt
del /F /Q mymap.wa_
So Sledge align the floating points to the grid automatically ?
I'm gonna do a quick test on my PC about Forge. Something worth a note : at the time I am writing this, Forge is available for 1.9 and not 1.9.2 yet.
UPDATE : I installed a Forge server on my PC with the Minecraft Flight Simulator mod (because it's the first 1.9 compatible mod I've found). The first time I attempted to connect, the server rejected me because I didn't had Forge installed on my client, so I installed it. I was rejected a second time because I didn't installed the mod and I managed to connect the server when I installed the mod on my client.
