It seems that 64 units is the thickest you want to go, but even then at some angles it is reflective.

Edit: I decompiled bounce and it seems the maps terrain brushwork is very thick. The entire level isn't reflective at all. Maybe it was just the de compiler that made the brushwork so thick as I know they alter brushwork.

Awesome, that's the solution! I should have tested more before posting this thread again. Thanks!

Although the angle does affect it, it is still more reflective in my map than regular hldm maps. When looking straight down in regular hldm maps the gauss beam doesn't reflect and injure you whereas in my map it does.

I've asked before but couldn't find an answer. Does anyone know how to decrease the reflectivity of the gauss beam against certain materials, brushes/ surfaces especially playing online via steam. I'm trying to make a hldm map where the player starts equipped with it each round but when shooting the ground it kills or injures yourself. I've already tried changing the material sound files of the specific textures.

Help appreciated asap for it's a major factor in whether i'll create my competition 33 map in time or not, thanks.

Looks really cool Moaby! Seems like it would be a lot of fun to play, and those waterfalls are epic.

Cool Captain, can't wait to see! I will be merging the natural land masses with man/alien made architecture.

Solely based on the fact that a new competition was started.

I used to do these things for fun, we'll see. Don't want to offend anyone who's been appropriately participating...

Trempler, your name says it all hehe. Sorry to hear if you had any hardships to deal with, hope you still enter. Pst, let us know so we know how hard to try. ;)

Ninja you're third screenie showed some cool architecture and texturing.

Moaby, whoa that was looking awesome, I wonder how it looks now. Have you made any progress since?

Rimrook, your entry was looking astounding. I love the design and texturing. I really hope you do something with this!

Docrock, large scale is one thing you sure know, looking awesome. I hope you've been working on it.

Doodle, pretty sure i'll have to play through that one! I'm curious if the gears move :glad:

Lajron, nice name hehe. Cool clean design.

Tetsuo, did yours end up turning out like the sketches?

Kraken, looks great especially with those bleeding textures added ;) . It would make for some nice cs gameplayage.

Urby I agree that most twhl members probably don't map anymore. I myself had to reinstall hammer for the purpose of this competition. Being a website based on level design i'm sure most designers/ developers here will never completely lose similar interest.

Captain, sounds like myself in many ways ;) . I've began editing and assembling textures so far.

Cats are interesting creatures, that's for sure. I never developed a relationship with the cats I've had because I was young and my dad treated them badly so they would get a crazy attitude.

I tried catching a stray recently at work but it got out of the box and resented me for it, or was afraid of me. I just don't have good luck with them though I think they're cool. Nahmbo seems very well behaved, really cool cat!

You'd laugh to see my only consoles are nes, super nes, n64 and gamecube. I'm a fan of Nintendo.

Ha I wish I had a cat to climb it. I could even cut out holes so it could travel through them!

Thanks Penguin!

I had to build it first because it then required sanding and some plane work. Just finished staining it finally, had to literally pay a friend and my brother to help finish it. Well two more coats on the desk and it will be done.

Fsr I didn't use a drop cloth and got drops all over my carpet, I think scissors might get it out. :zonked:

The holes are hidden behind the trim. Thanks Kraken, my room used to be nothing more than a bed and computer desk.

Sorry for the crappy quality image I will take better ones when it is done. And hopefully make the vid.

Just finished a model of the wall shelf in rhino. It will hold my keyboard piano, fish tank, tv and a desk along with tons of display shelves for architecture models and some pottery.

I think it would be fun to make a video of your room going through different things you own and explaining them. I'm currently redoing my room and will make a video once it's done.

Feel free to go ahead if anyone feels inclined. :D

Strojke as soon as I link two of the areas with a hallway you can then see through the sky into the other areas. I think it only worked for you because the areas weren't accessible.

in Sky texture question Post #312544
In one of the spawns it does it to areas directly surrounding it. I actually pm'ed Nipper the guy who mapped it on gamebanana. We'll see if he responds.

in Sky texture question Post #312542
I decompiled the map but couldn't see anything unusual. One part was two layers of sky textured brush and then a third layer brush with a wall texture but this may have been because of the decompile as it wasn't the same on the other walls.

I've never used hint brushes, hmm.
Posted 11 years ago2013-02-10 05:08:24 UTC
in Sky texture question Post #312538
Yea I even checked, its a map for counterstrike 1.6, blahhh by Nipper. Maybe it just happens that way in cs 1.6... I tried in condition zero.

I also assumed that I was mistaken until I checked.

Edit: Oh maybe if I just layer the room with another brush all around it.

Double Edit: Nothing seems to be working. Maybe I can decompile the map to find out what was done.

in Sky texture question Post #312536
I've seen it done where a room's walls are textured with the sky texture and you cannot see into the surrounding rooms. When I try this you can see through the sky textured walls into the other rooms. Does anyone know how to do this?

in Func_trains out of sync Post #312152
Lets just say I have six func_trains that all follow the same looping path. The trains are each triggered individually one after the other with .5 second increments in between. They start out moving evenly spaced from eachother but they eventually begin to move out of sync.

Any possible reasons why? It seems like glitches of lag effect them. By the way, env_beams follow the trains. They are all set at the same speed so you would think it would be impossible for them to go out of sync.

I have no idea why this isn't working but when I try to create a new texture within an existing texture set the new texture doesn't show up in hammer whereas the rest of them from the set do.

What's going on?

in Complete bullshit new law passed in US Post #311789
Blitzkrieg, before you even speek in a thread read the content, look up the given information and come to an understanding. The image is about Obama signing a bill passing a law infringing some amendments from the US constitution, not about whether or not we should own guns. Penguinboy only suggested we not vere so widly off topic as all of you were doing. I appreciate you and other's involvement but not that it was completely off topic.

Debating gun ownership is one thing but in what context is a whole other story.

Don Punch how was allowing the right to bear arms to protect them?

I agree with you that the patriot act is very similar to the NDAA both completely relying on fear to promote their acceptance.

I am aware of internment camps, what is your point? Yes they are similar to the fema camps but seemed to have better intention.
