Ah I see...That would be quite difficult for a set of shutters...Perhaps two lightbeams are needed.
LOL! True that. I got it to work anyway. Thanks for your help! 
Ouch it actually sounds quite difficult. I know about the Render FX part. I've set up the actual light which is supposed to come through an open window. The window is covered by two shutters. These shutters swing open and start to let light in until they are completly open. This was my idea anyway...
Sorry for all this posting btw...
Do you remember at the start of Half-Life in the transit, there was a machine holding a crate. The door opened and the light started to shine through. It looked like a func_illusionary to me. I was wondering if anyone knew how to achieve the effect, to have the light showing matching the amount of door opened (if that makes sense!).

That might've been it.
JB gave me another solution though. Make a copy of a set of tga's from Half-Life. Take your own TGA, save over it and rename. Voila!

You guys are insane... 
Yup carve can really screw up things. It can used, but it really shouldn't. Buliding the object out of seperate brushes and using the VM and clip tools are a better solution.
ARGH 30 megs!

"LoadTGA: Only type2 and 10 targa RGB images supported"
Anyone seen this before? I checked Tommy's and it isn't there. I suspect I've done something stupid with my customed TGA files. If anyone can help, I can send the bmp's of the files I need in TGA if anyone could have a look for me. I really need this, please help!

Yeah I know that, I don't have PSP reinstalled yet. That proggie worked a treat Seventh
Errrr.... 
Switch to ZHLT first.

Very nice indeed...
Have you unpacked the 'pak0.pak' file?
What a shame. Good music it is esmajor...
Thanks
Oh well.
Perhaps you could stay online and let it download overnight?
Yeah don't hollow. Make them as seperate brushes, or if you really have to, hollow each one and then group them back together.
Why a func_train when you can use a func_door?!?!
You could always animate it to stand still.
Get a batch compiller for a start. Secondly, check whether than particular sound file is the correct format and specifications. Search the forums and you will find them. The path for ambient_generic should read
'ambience/nameofwav.wav' because it is relative to whatever you are mapping for. If it's for Half-Life, then your sounds should be placed in:
C:SIERRAHalf-Lifevalvesoundambience
Or where ever you have Half-Life installed.

Good point Andy.
I have a 'video clip' of a custom title for a mod I'm working on. I say 'video clip' because thats exactly what it says!
Properties>General>
Type of file: Video Clip
Opens With: Windows Media Player
Now my question is what program can I use to convert this file to an AVI file? The dimensions are correct, I just need to convert it. Thanks!

Yes Spirit has 3D model support in Hammer (I assume that's what you are implying). I would also suggest making your mod in Spirit as their are a lot of groovy effects. On the Spirit Of Half-Life site is a zip file which can be downloaded which is basically an empty mod folder. It explains how to setup a Spirit based mod. Mapping for Spirit can be a little difficult due to the lack of tutorials on the net. Give it a try and see.
Spirit is amazing yes, the only trouble is the lack of tutorials on the net. However, their forums are great so join if you need help.
LOL and you'd get a lot of blood exiting from a single punch too!
You can get from other places too. Google around for it.
Hmmm strange. I'd definately try to get the update (I'm a 33ker and I managed to get it). Get a download manager. Even the Opera internet browser has a decent one. Get it Here.
Yep, pepper's right. If you don't code, the new model will act exactly like a crowbar.
Yah, just tick the 'No Yellow Globes' flag. Simple.
Search here.
Not a chance Jahzel...
Elements of 3D Modelling are similar to Hammer but not a lot. Hammer is nothing compared to 3DS Max, Milkshape and MAYA! Hammer is quite simple really thats why we all love it!

lol did you realise you wrote 'The The Whole Half-Life?'
at the TWHL.Hehehe!
Coding.
Get rid of some of those textures! The limit is 8. Also fix this error:
To test that your lights do actually work, open a new map. Create a small room textured with a 'crete' texture (type it into filter when you select your texture), place a 'light' in the room and place an info_player_start in it as well. Do a full compile and see whether or not the lights work. If they do then your making a mistake somewhere in your map. Use the 'Check for problems' tool in Hammer. If all else fails, post your map in the vault.
- Warning: Larger than expected texture (348972 bytes): 'THANKS'What is a 'light_ev' exactly? Secondly what do you mean by "i place a light_ev and a light_spot in with a null so i know there in place and that."? Are you saying you made a small room which was textured with the null texture and put those two lights in? Try this instead:

Impatient
Yes this a major part of the compile. You just have to be very patient. Some (albiet poor maps) take days to do a full compile. I suggest you turn off VIS and RAD if you need to do a quick compile. Your map will have no lights, but will appear in 'fullbright' mode. This is useful for testing entity setups and the like.

I am also using Spirit for this particular map if that helps
(I've noticed there seems to be a lack of tutorials on Spirit on the net...
I've seen the one here and on the VERC but that seems to be it

I doubt whether this could be done, but is it possible to change the sky during the course of map (without using a changelevel)? Let's say for arguements sake your map has the 'space' sky and you want it to change to a morning sky? Is this possible? If not I'll just use a change level.
Ouch theres definately something wrong with that! Do as Seventh said. Also consider updating your graphics card driver.
LOL d'oh I didn't even see that!

This is a warning, and only a warning, that you are using a larger sized texture in your level than some older video cards can handle. It is not a compile error, but it may cause player clients to sieze up if they have an older video card, or are in Software Video Mode. You must decide if you are going to abandon those players, or use another texture. See also Checkered textures.Click here for future reference.
