Ah, the joys of running around a multiplayer map alone. I once spelt my name on the wall with the crowbar
Points at Urby but you don't do that freaky mask thing!! 
I use both Steam and WON versions so I can test compatibility. Thats how I know...
Yeah...this is not only with CS but is caused by the latest WON HL patch...
You cannot use custom decals in Half-Life. Only the default ones as these are a coded element of Half-Life. You actually need to get in Half-Life and recode it and you can't do that without making a new Half-Life mod. Your best bet is to fake it by placing a 1 unit wide brush against the wall with your texture on it. And set to 'func_illusionary'
Hotdog's MotorbikeHow did you know I have a motorbike????
Oh yes...sorr. I've been away for the weekend and only just got home. The maps are great thankyou. As for the Uzi, it's just something different. Barniel also uses an uzi instead of a glock.
Actually. The RPG and LAW while mostly similar, they have their own advantages. The RPG has homing abilities (ie, the laser pointer) the LAW does not. The LAW is MUCH more destructive but a 'fire and forget' weapon (you fire and discard the weapon as it's useless)
ATM we only have a few new weapons planned. Like an Uzi, heavy machine gun, and a few others like the photon gun, ect.

Do you get any errors in the console when playing? like a 'too many visible entities in packets list' error?
No worries! Hope it works for youScrew you Luke! It was the great work of m...ahem...I mean the admins and the more than helpful mappers around here 
Yes, of course. All it does is delete data on previous levels, things that are saved like which monsters are dead and alive, how much health they have, where their dead bodies are, where blood decals were splatters, the state of all other entities like which boxes are broken, ect. Doing this just deletes this data. So if you go through to the map where it will delete this data and then return to a previous map, the level will load like it was the first time you entered it. All the monsters will be alive and everything is reset. Player data is kept so the amount of ammo, health ect is saved
Have you ever used the 'Clear Previous Level Data' option in the worldspawn entity? Use this if you have a changelevel trigger that you can't return through. This might solve your problem if that is the cause. This will delete all saved data like dead monsters, decals, ect from previous levels that you can't return to
Thats good...I'd do it but I can't download on my net...not a file that big anyway it would cost me a fortune
Get in contact with someone who is playing it and get them to test it...it's the best solution...or get a friend to install it on his computer and try it yourself
Yeah. I had a similar problem in my Competition 27 map. To avoid this i prevented the player from dying. has someone else had the same problem? As i found that only my computer suffered from the problem...and it worked fine for everyone else
lol...no worries...i'll have a look 
FORBIDDEN!!!! 
Also PNG has more uses than BMP...including masks and whatnot...

I use a combination of Avast and Norton...don't ask me how the hell that works 'cause I don't know...
I got a ping of 774 so i guess i'm not gonna be fraggin' anyone 
Yeah...I just don't want to eat through my credit
Darn...i need to get steam working to see if I can play...anyone have an idea of how much data transfer in MB per minute is used during online play?
that doesn't have ugly sparks over NPCs when they think.Actually it does...now I know why i'll try to fix that.
@ninja: Yeah...this is a common problem, I really don't know what causes it but we have to be very careful as it happens alot
Static Friction is based on 1.5 Alpha 4...so far pretty reliable
I'm looking through it now and all I can say is 'HOLY CRAP!!" this is a pretty intense map...i hope it compiles for ya
Yeah...i can always retexture if needed
Use any textures...make whatever your imagination comes up with and yes...fits a BM tram
I have already given Barney the new Glock and replaced the sounds...I am a little handy with modelling...and I believe it is a Glock 20
and an interesting tram tunnel or two would be great...I need plenty of those

It's 9.48pm...im home with the entire weekend off till tuesday. Tired of mapping. Missing my fianc?e. Drowning myself in cordial instead of alcohol. And I just ate my last two lollies! 
A friend of mine pays $400 a month for hi-speed broadband and 4gb of downloads...he then pays $1 per gb after that
haha so true It's still a 9mmhandgun...just a little more emphasis on 'glock' instead of handgun...it's also properly semi-automatic so you can fire as fast as you can click the mouse

It wasn't on the site...nothing important that we don't have on our computers. And the tram is coming from the other direction. And It was an original idea to add new weapons...thats how I met vs...and skins to improve HL overall
Those were the days...young and immature not knowing what we were doing...now...ahem...still young, much more immature but a little more organised and professional. 
Haha...true
There are certain levels of optimization that developers run on their maps. This includes Vis blocking and clipnodes. Why not put up your compile log so we can see what your compiler says.

Sorry...im out of town right now...i'll be back late tomorrow so i can help you more then...I'll try to recreate the sequence and find out why its doing that
Ok. Next step is the animation. Do you have a model view?? If not, find and download 'Jed's Model Viewer' as mentioned above (i think it was). Now in the scripted_sequence entity. In the action animation property, put in the animation name EXACTLY as it appears in your model viewer. Also, if you want an idel animation, put that in the idle animation property now. If this works right then we will add the retina scanner effects next, but that involves a little reworking so thats why im not covering it now
Hmm...watching and reading I'm interested in bringing up another kinda related topic...you're view on the Freemasons and Catholics...interesting when this topic has been a hit topic in the movies DaVinci Code and Angel and demons...
Ok, first the speech as thats the easiest to solve. You had the right idea but you used the wrong format. I'm assuming you know about the 'sentances.txt' in the gearbox/sound directory? If not have a look. You had the right idea but used the wrong part:
OT_FINDMORE otis/of1a1_ot04 <-- This is the line that tells Half-Life to make Otis speak this line. The bold hilighted part is what the game looks for and the other part tells the game what sound to play. So you want to use '!OT_FINDMORE' in the sentance name property.
Ok, now the best thing to do when a sequence isn't working is to restart. It's a very delicate chain and fiddling should only be done when it's working. When it's not it becomes impossible to properly identify why it's not if you fiddle with it. So we are going to start from scratch. Create a scripted_sequence entity and place it near the retinal scanner. Now open up its properties and give it a name (I will call it seq1) and in 'Target monster' put the name of the monster_otis. Don't put an animation, just tell it to 'walk to' and face towards the retinal scanner. Now create a 'trigger_once' that the player will walk into but make sure it doesn't touch Otis or the scripted sequence. The trigger_once will target the scripted_sequence (seq1) and now compile that and tell me if that worked

Okay. In this case, the fact that you are mapping for Opposing Force, while the games do have differences there shouldn't be too much difference to affect a scripted sequence despite that Gearbox did modify it slightly that I know of. Ok, so I'll ask a few questions and tell me what you have done in regards. First, is Otis following you or is he standing at the door waiting for you to approach? Second, which entity are you using for the sequence (ai_scriptedsequence or a scripted sequence). Third, what EXACTLY have you put in the sentence name property of the scripted_sentence entity?
I've mapped for Opposing Force...what do you need to know?? (sorry can't be stuffed reading the entire thread)
I've completely forgotten the compo and still have to compile and upload!!! AAERRHHH!!!
The world started because I mapped it!!!! 
HAHAHAHAHAHA Thats my opinion...so i'm outta this thread...truth is I don't much care for how on earth we friggin got here...fact is we are here and that is that...the past is built of fabrications over true facts...example...Carbon dating is practically guesswork past 3000 years (yes, proven fact somewhere)...however...according to the Bible...Noah and the great flood...if so then entire soil structure would have shifted and ruined any sort of dating...and whats more the bible is written of things that happened before people actually started recording data...both theories have flaws
Hahaha...im in a weird mood so there...feel free to flame me or whatever
PEACE!!!

PEACE!!! I'M FIXING IT OKAY!!!!!! I've actually just done heaps today but had to go to work and now i'm fucked...so i'll do more tomorrow after I've done my tax return...grrrrr 
But that kinda defeats itself...as other things like lungs, tails, ect...would be a useless body part until hundreds of thousands of years later when they had finished 'evolving' it into a useful body part...it just confuses me.
And Tito, what actual version of the Bible are you getting that reference from??

Lol, I am...I've just started...my computer is full of crap (as well as your crap which is HUGE!!!! I need a new External Drive ASAP!!
AWESOMENESS is my downfall!!!! lol
