Hey man best of luck and congratulations!
We all know this isn't really goodbye though.
Most of the time, if you care enough to take the time to say goodbye, we'll see you again.

I'm doing all the entity work first with basic walls and stuff.
Once that works i'll start detailing.

Yeah Good observations Jessie. PB, Check the camera information when you 'Go to Problem brush' from the check for problem tab.
That might be the culprit?

basically, whenever I shift-drag an object, even if texture lock is on, the texture alignment screws up completely. No idea why this happens.I have ran into this too. I get around it with a quick CTRL+C & CTRL+V and drag the new copy. Not as efficient but it works.
Also, I can't figure out how on earth to replicate Hammer's alt-click texture feature, nothing I can see on the drop down list does it on the texture application window.Yeah it doesn't seem to work the same way. Definitely something that needs to be looked at because Hammer's ALT+Right-Click is the best thing since sliced bread.
Another note.
deleting entities from the entity list, and then trying to save or activate the 3D view crashes SledgeI've noticed that deleting a 0x0x0 entity/brush from the Problems Prompt turns your 3D window black. If you save or try to move around in the 3D window you get pelted with Warnings. HOWEVER, dragging out a new camera (shift-drag with camera selected) in a 2D view creates a new camera and re-activates 3D view / Saving capabilities without crashing Sledge.
TL;DR: I think the camera somehow gets deleted when removing those crazed glitch entities.
Specifically it was a 0x0x0 unit func_water located at the origin.
So possibly it's deleting invalid entities.

If you cannot recreate this, i have a map that will do it everytime.

Jessie, if you get a kill, you're entered to win a prize!
Hey PB, I was running a compile with sledge when my computer crashed.
It won't start now.
I see sledge in my processes but the window doesn't show up.
I have uninstalled and re-installed.
I have repaired my .net framework install as well.
ever see anything like this?

PB's method is definitely worth trying.
Go into your steamapps|common|CS:GO|bin folder and see if there's a hammer.bat file floating around.
Launch that if it exists.

PB I'm pretty sure that any game with it's own SDK can safely launch the authoring tools.
It's the integrated SDK that broke during the Steampipe update.
So CS:S = bin folder
CS:GO = sdk
again, I'm pretty sure

You also set walk speed of AI through their Model 'walk_anim" framerate. It's just automatically extracted

After building the cubemaps in game, try restarting HL2.
Also, make sure you don't have any leaks.

Tet, you have combined my love for Goldsource and baked potatoes in a perfect analogy.
...I'm afraid we need to get married now.
Dr. Orange, you have described a potato.
It's food, edible, somewhat delicious.
Archie and Urby are describing the buttered twice-baked potato. Melty butter and bacon add to the already mouthwatering aroma and flavor.
We're not saying you can't eat your potato.
We're saying our baked potato is better

Why do you say that?
Just plop them in around 64 units above ground, and then run "buildcubemaps" in game
If you alt-tab out of HL2 a lot, you occasionally need to restart.

Doodle, have you tried using displacements for regular walls? They're not just for terrain you know.
It's nice for putting dents in things and giving corners some roughness. Just displace, add noise, and sew.
Bump maps do wonders but source needs to have pretty aggressive ones, and plenty of cubemaps.

what if you rename "filesystem_stdio.dll" to something like "filesystem_stdio.BAK" and then check game cache integrity?
It might re-download an updated dll.

You said you've reinstalled CS:GO but have you reinstalled the SDK?
I'm surprised you didn't get the "too many light styles on face" error

i've never gotten buttons to function properly as masters. I always used multisources and named them <slave>_master
Fine with me. Good work Urby!

I use peanut butter on almost everything. it's a nice protein boost.
I eat it with apples, bananas, celery, and on sandwiches.
Best is Strawberry Preserves (jelly with bits of fruit still in it) and Peanut butter sandwich. yummmm

I was thinking the same thing - IDK how to unequip the suit.
It just might be fairer/easier to auto equip the suit on game start, everyone starts with it.

Kachito's recommended FGD works fine. So the problem is with the FGD and not Sledge. PROBLEM SOLVED
I was checking the FGD to see if i could see any references but no go
The core is on the roof right?
That would be epic, Kachito.
Btw PB, Alberto and I tried for many hours last night trying to get CS models to appear properly. Might it be a problem with more than one game configuration?
I even deleted all my configs and started from scratch. Still no dice.
Also, for some reason when my FGDs were located in My Documents, sledge wanted to access My Music for some reason.
Here's what I have tried:
Base Game Directory: - valve
Mod Directory Directory: - cstrike
Base Game Directory: - cstrike
Mod Directory Directory: - cstrike
Use HD Models and Load Sprites and Models from FGD Directories - All combinations
I'm using the cs_expert-tom793c.fgd

Hey PB, my models show up with my half-life config, but not with a counter-strike config. Any recommendations?
i'll unwrap.

There are a few issues, but nothing major.
1) Each brush gets split up into their individual faces. Fixing that is a simple matter of selecting all the faces and joining the vertices.
2) Textures don't carry over, and UV maps aren't generated. So You need to manually unwrap and texture.
The benefit however is if there's an awesome detail that's brushed out you can convert it to a model relatively easily and save some wpoly.
TL:DR, brushwork your heart out with sledge and I can convert the crazy stuff into models.

Alberto, blender is relatively easy to run for any computer. Low-Poly modeling shouldn't give you any trouble.
plus the UV tools are great, and I have the Blender -> HalfLife process down to a Science

MOD (unnamed)
This is the one i was working on with Stu.
We had the basic storyline but never fleshed out any of the levels on paper before designing them. I got caught up in the details too early on and then got pulled away by outside forces (life). Just never picked it back up.
I did find the first level .rmf. But we'd essentially need to start from scratch.
I remember the set plot points, and it was always meant to be an easily completable 3-4 map pack. It was never completed.
MOD - DART FIGHT
Details: Team and Class-Based, Multiplayer 'deathmatch' style game featuring close-quarter maps of houses, office complexes, and backyards. Nerf-style projectile weapons were to be the main draw to the game. Experience was to be awarded for kills and completing objectives. Used to upgrade bullet velocity, clip size, reload speed etc.
Experience starts at zero for each match.
Why it Failed
I think some of you remember my thread in the Maps and Mods section last August. I wanted to make a nerf-gun mod for Source. Source coding is very difficult and frankly, I gave up. I managed to make a custom weapon that shot .50 cal rounds with the crowbar view model. But making a projectile weapon proved to be near impossible. Every tutorial I followed didn't work, and everything I tried to do myself wound up in dead-ends. Coding for source is counter-intuitive to the C++ Novice and I couldn't wrap my head around the macros or header links that Valve used. The documentation was sparse at best.
I then tried Unreal 4... and had it working in an evening with their visual-style 'blueprint' coding. I was so amazed by this that my desire for Source development fell off a cliff.
