RabidMonkeyglass will NOT render correctly with anything but NODRAW on all sides. In other words, one brush with glass must only have one face with a glass texture applied. All other faces MUST be a NODRAW. Put another brush behind it if you want concrete.This is only func_breakable_surf.
Everything is healthy in small amounts.True...like my cig habit? =/
Everything is unhealthy in large amounts.
Lord of War, about a gunrunner, stars Nicholas Cage..great movieAye.
I think he's right.Not at all. If you frequent a site like CSM2, maybe this is true. Otherwise, not really.
Source mapping makes noobs stand in the spotlight while the hardworking pwnages are so rare comparing to the noobs, they dissapare behind the scene
I love source mapping, but did you ever think its more inviting for noobs to make maps than HL1? I mean it lets you run the map when there are leaks and problems, you dont even need to set the tools configurations (That what I thought was the most frustrating) and more people release killbox than ever before! The configuration of Hammer was like a shield that screened out idiots from making crappy maps. Now simply hit refresh game config and there you go. You can always see a good mapper from a noob mapper, but it seems more and more crap maps get out there in the internet like cs_assault old. This map is so bad! (no draw was NOT used, proportion is wrong, 5 story building as tall as a player!) compared to CS_xmas which is a godly map that NOONe EVEN HEARD OF! Ive also been seeing peoples maps with brushwork pulled out of other maps! People ask how to decompile claiming to learn, but just STEAL! Im sorry for this looong rant, but im just sick of shit mappers getting their little maps played more than deserving ones! RANT! RANT!!!!!Mappers' fault, then, if they really care about decompilers. Most people just ignore it or ask the member to remove it, that or expose the person responsible (ie, Nexus from the NS forums a while ago) - If you're concerned about it add the no_decomp field to any entity or use a tools/locked texture.
Not me O.o I like women and lifeI concur! Wise words, good sir.
I reckon it can be decompiled...It is a .bsp and I have never met a map that can't be decompiled.If your BSP Version number is not supported by VMEX it cannot be decompiled. Beta maps use v15 BSP files, if I recall, therefore VMEX shouldn't support them for example.
Q. Why do I get the message "Unknown map file ident or version"?I think your VMEX copy is outdated. v0.96 doesn't support v20 BSP files. v0.97 does.
A. VMEX will only decompile .bsp files of maps made for the Half-Life 2 Source engine (e.g., for HL2, HL2DM, and Counter-Strike: Source). It cannot decompile maps made for Half-Life 1 (or its mods, such as Counter-Strike 1.6 and Condition Zero) or for other games which use the BSP format such as the Quake series.
The game Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines is based on the Source engine, but uses an earlier version of the bsp file format (17, rather than 19 as is used in HL2). As of v0.95, the decompiler partially supports this format. Some things, such as VTMB's modified entity I/O connections, are not handled correctly by the Hammer editor in the HL2 SDK. Note also that it is not possible to recompile these maps in a form suitable for VTMB unless somebody writes compiler tools that produce version 17 BSP files.
As of version 0.97, VMEX also has initial support for version 20 bsp files, as used for the HDR-enabled maps in the Day of Defeat: Source release.
