I always do, I can't help it. The only part that has a time limit is the citadel at the end. And that forest with the striders and the wooden cabins that I could never get past.

I always thought texture lights were only for static lights and trying to turn them on/off wouldn't work.

Unless the item has a complicated shape, probably a waste of resources.

First answer - like Dr. Orange said, it might be possible using some weird setup of func_tracktrains and overlapping path_tracks. Hard to debug without moving everything around.

Second answer - yes.

Decals aren't very good for that purpose, actually. Decals are generally only good for splatters, scrape marks or writing. Perhaps road markings if you want to push it. But objects like that? You're WAY better off using textures and small brushes you scatter around. Texture one side and null the other 5 faces.

I wonder if you could somehow rig the scenery to move relative to the player's position in the map.

Probably Tetsu0 has done it already :P

Half the things on this site are kind of a hacky way to do things that are normally not possible or weren't foreseen by the devs at Valve. Your argument is invalid.

Are you sure it isn't just that it's moving so fast that it creates the optical illusion of going the other way? Like car wheels going fast?

Just going by the title of the map one would think it is an adult-rated [game/movie] set on the moon.

Had to say it.

in Func_Door and its Uses Post #325570
Captain Terror's method works too. You can put the same door's name on Trigger on close and it will do exactly the same. You'd still need a trigger_auto to make it move the first time though.

Very good, if a bit dark. In photography there's more room for overexposing some things.

#2 is slightly overexposed for my likes
- Discostu, Page 26, this thread. :tired:
Hahaha sorry mate. Photography is a perceptual subject, it depends a lot on who's looking at it and when, and even what mood you're in when you're looking at it. There's plenty of room to go either way, I was just being nitpicky because I can't not be an arse.

It's a good photo, personally I'd just stop it down a tiny bit if only to match the lighting of the others, with slightly darker shadows. Maybe I'd have overexposed more whilst keeping (or trying to keep) the rest of the frame even. But I don't NEED to explain this to you, you know all this already and probably better than me. I shame myself.

About the last one, my first complaint is that a too bright light is only in a small part of the frame, pushing the rest of the picture down. Not that you can't use multiple sources of light, in this case I assume sunlight and skylight, just at least not like that. BUT if it suits your needs, definitely go for it. If a picture is good for what you will be using it for, then it is good. Only me, in a context like wedding and sweet sixteen shoots very unlike The Core, would have considered that a throwaway shot in most photobook cases.

While I'm posting here, some old photos I just found:

You've done well. #2 is slightly overexposed for my likes, but it's just a nitpick. They're all very good. Except the last one. The last one sucks. The lighting looks incomplete and the angle is terrible. But besides that one, they're very good especially for a rushed shoot.

Makes me think of some extremely rushed 3-minute shoots I did in my early days. They were all crap.

in Another Changelevel Problem... Post #325332
When you say that, it makes me want to do it just to see what happens. I'm guessing just an anticlimactic error dialog box, but that's not always the case!

In some games, like Wolfenstein 3D, somehow part of the level remains embedded in the save file. So if you load a game that was saved in a map that is now different, you will spawn in the room you were at in the old map, but the doors out of it won't work; you'll be stuck in that room.

How about it shows up on a requests sidebar so that anyone can pick it up? That would be more efficient.
