ok, this is scary!!! I started making something JUST LIKE THIS yesterday, except i used the source engine, and Adobe? Golive instead of Macromedia... But wait, its Adobe Flash now anyway.

im not entirely sure, but i think you can set the speaker entity as just about anything...

normally it says what entity to use the the help file, but it only says "speaker entity," so that suggests it can be anything

Wow... i mean.. this deserves bold.

OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

need i even mention that i am looking forward to completion of this as much as i am of Hostage Situation?

Uber

yeah, but it costs money to change it, and frankly, i dont have a problem with weebitmagic...

Howdy, we'll discuss it and get back to you

aw man, thats cool ^_^

clip twice... or many times more... its how all complex brushes are made... unless you venture into vertex manipulation

just tie two brushes to the same func_breakable, or if you want to get complicated, name each fragment and fill in the "target on break" field

or, use the clip tool....

what have you learned today?

1) dont carve, it creates microscopic leaks, invalid objects and perpindicular texture axis'

2) Instead, either create your doorway, window frame (whatever) manually creating all the neccisary blocks, or much more sensibly, use the clip tool whereever possible... Does exactly the same as carve except you decide what is cut, avoiding all carve's problems (if you know how to do it properly)

what d'ya mean Howdy?

If you're asking to map, then give an example of your best work and you might be in for chapter 2, but at this late date, i doubt it

no, i decided it wasn't really worth bothering since you all complain about my domain name anyway

make a brush (where you want the push to be)
Texture it with 'aaatrigger'
Tie it to a trigger_push

absolutely stunning

1) 25 func_breakables are your friend.

2) Check this
and This
and
This

and Here is a tutorial explaining how to use them

3)

Set delay before trigger to 0

4) Hit shift & A to open the texture tool... Use it without any solids selected, then click on the face you want to edit.

5) Check this out

Unbreakable, you noob! use the edit button!

taken straight for CAD news

Quick media update... I think i fixed the passage... Spent a while on the wall texture and i think it turned out okay.

fluffy zombification

aha! fixed!

But not because of the .wav's properties.. They were all set up correctly..

Actually, it was as simple as -

Ambient Generic -
Wav Name : H:/games/WONhl/gyradell_invasion/sounds/map3/blabla.wav

when it should have just been

Wav Name : map3/blabla.wav

AHA!!!

A small, as if intentionally hidden line in the loading session displayed in the console of HL said "couldnt transfer sound H:/" and it occurred to me that i hadn't edited the .wavs that my voice actor sent me..

Can somebody remind me what the bit rate, frequency and channels have to be set to to work in HL?

i really do too, but they're stupidly expensive.. Like.. As much as HL2

Kasperg - I have tried to load the map using the 'map' command and also, the level change worked previously, why would it stop now?

Rimrook - I'll have a check around.. See what comes up..

my guess is there's something wrong with the level change

3) I tested the map both in Gyradell Invasion with a level change and in HL using the 'map' console command.

might as well take a chance in fixing it cause id bet that thats the problem

4) The map worked fine until the most recent compile which added another section.

I've had that texture in the .wad since a long time ago, and the map has worked since

it did work without the new section... And that would mean deleting a lot of brush and entity work...

am i missing something?

is all i can see and surely thats not causing this

I'll set this out in points, to show that absolutely nothing can have gone wrong.

1) Hammer check for problems, the first thing i checked showed up with nothing...

2) The compile log, checked second was also flawless.

3) I tested the map both in Gyradell Invasion with a level change and in HL using the 'map' console command.

4) The map worked fine until the most recent compile which added another section.

---

Yet there IS a problem...

And its not your usual one either... Instead of an error dialogue box, it just freezes when i try to load the map... No messages, no sign of a not-responsive program.. it just doesnt load.
And I have waited for at least 10 minutes (obviously ages in HL1 loading) and still nothing happens.. Just the words loading in Gyradell Invasion's level change, and just Gordon's head beside a loading sign in HL...

WTF?!

<note>
I really dont want to post this in the problem vault seeing as it's Gyradell Invasion

XD
cheers, madcow

yeah, wish i had made it

sweet! looks very good

ooh. I would, except i have no idea how to add custom weapons to a mod...

@strider:

yeah, i wanted a funny background thing. silly and random, but i took the screenshot about a milisecond too late and only got smoke.... didn't work out..

bah, just noticed the "here - hear" spelling mistake

Perhaps even work some screenshots of the TWHL community maps into the banner or something.

no... just no...

..you spelled "Catwalks" correctly in the thread title, yet you spelled it "kalt walks" in the actual thread... silly

yeah... i really just put it in for a screenshot looking through the plant... But the texture is so low-res that it looked awful...

I'll fix the sign and the ceiling's bad rotation

i want the [m] tags!

lollerskates

neither... But i think Seventh has a bit of a reputation for being leniant (spelling?) with rule-breakers

thats the one

then the model you used isnt meant to be used with prop_physics.. change it to prop_solid

change all the fade distances to 0

Here's a quick screenshot of the end of the third map, so you know i haven't given up.
