So, every once in a while I'll download a map I don't really want to launch Half-Life to see, so I'll open it up in BSPViewer to check it out. And then, after a couple minutes of roaming around, I'll inevitably start to feel nauseous. This is especially noticeable when I have the viewport stretched out really wide (which it is by default, since I have a widescreen monitor), but it really could happen any time at all.
Now obviously, there's nothing anyone could do about this, I was just wondering if anybody else experienced this strange occurrence?

That's awesome, Captain Terror.
It strikes me as strange you hadn't started using it already.
Do you need Vista to see the effect?I lol'd. A first for Dave's many posts.
Turning it opaque should work if you're just trying to block the light... that's what it's for. I'm thinking you don't have ZHLT if it's not doing anything.
You know, if you really were intent on this, you could try triggering a light_spot to come on and shine through the door when it's opened, but otherwise I can't think of any way. And that'd probably look like complete shit, to be honest.

But aaron, you still haven't achieved greatness, so WTF? 
Lamest excuse ever, and you're still abusing emoticons, but I believe you.
Hunter, what the fuck is your problem? Does the outcome of some TF2 match have anything to do with the topic here? And if you would, please explain to me what you find so shitty about this article, because I thought it was quite well written. I like to hear developer's views.
I like Blitzkrieg's answer best.
I'd call them dream-y, and some of them even allow you to move around.
Do clip brushes make it disappear? Seems to me they do, can't remember though. Ag3nt-X's method would probably work, I think that's how I've done it before.
I was reading the PC Gamer I just got today, and found this really interesting article. Clicky.
I think it's a great read for any modder, although more specifically those who work on single player mods. Any thoughts on what approach to storytelling works best for you, and which you like best? Of course, we probably all like Half-Life's no-cutscenes approach, but this article sort of made me wonder, what does it take to make an immersive game that also has a deep, interesting, and thought-provoking story? The Metal Gear Solid series did their cutscenes extraordinarily well, but with their overwhelming length they managed to pull you away from the game like nothing else, and you felt like the whole purpose of playing the game was to be rewarded with yet another cutscene. On the other hand, you might say the Half-Life series comes very close to perfection in storytelling, but you'd be hard pressed to say that the detail of the character's interactions rivals that of most well made cutscenes. Not only is the main character's involvement here seriously lacking, but it makes it hard for the developer to have detailed and meaningful interactions when you don't even know where the player will be looking.
Anyway, that was a bit long-winded, but I just wondered what people liked and didn't like in regards to this, and what in their opinion the best option would be, especially for modders.

i think norton is a pretty cool guy. eh slows down your computer and doesn't afraid of anything.
AVG Free Edition works wonders.

Finally somebody dared correct the mighty and infallible Penguinboy.
Lol PD's textures got uber low-res textures, the best I'll get is 64x64 pixelsHeheh, what'd you expect? By the way, that guy probably just remade all those textures from scratch. I doubt he'd have extracted them.
or the sensor is off and believes its always too hot to function.Yeah, most computers can be set to automatically shut down after a specific component reaches a certain temperature, as a safety mechanism. I can do that in my BIOS anyway. Maybe that setting got messed up on your laptop somehow, and now it's shutting off automatically every time it comes on.
Still, it's a really strange problem. How'd you go about pinpointing that it only comes on at certain temperatures?
aiscripted_sequence doesn't have that option too? That's odd.
Well, the only actual viruses that I know of that you can get from viewing web pages are installed as ActiveX components, which are automatically denied anyway if you know what's good for you.
That's kind of a shoddy way of doing things, since you could interrupt Barney's path at any time and the whole sequence would screw up. Fortunately, scripted_sequences have a property that allows you to trigger another entity after it's finished its sequence. Use this to trigger a multi_manager that opens your door and, a second later, triggers the other scripted_sequence for Barney to walk off to. Quite simple, really.
...I have way too much time on my hands.
What you're calling "viruses" are actually tracking cookies, which are harmless. They may show up in a virus scan, but they're just deleted every time you clean out your browser's cache.
I once formated my HDD, reinstalled XP and installed all the latest updates, and 30 minutes later I had shortcuts to porn sites on my desktop.I'd have to agree with ZombieLoffe. How in the world did you manage to do that? Some adware must have somehow been transferred over from your previous install, otherwise that doesn't make sense at all.
I didn't visit any other website than the Windows Update site.
No, it got that reputation from its predecessors.
Oh wait, I was thinking of Timefall, not Minimicus...ugh. :
I did in fact finish Minimicus, but was not really highly impressed. Best I can say is that it was pretty inventive.

Seems like I've critiqued these same pictures before...
But anyway, looks fairly good except for the skybox that doesn't match the environment, the stretched tree textures, and the hay bails only sitting on two vertices, which looks really messed up. Also, I know I'm really nitpicking by saying this, but you don't usually see bails of hay sitting around farmhouses like that...they're usually out in fields.

Well, good luck with it. It's not the best Linux distro to start on, and almost anyone would recommend you try Ubuntu first, but that's not what I did. For some reason, I found the two days it took for me to install it entirely worth it...if excruciating.
Yeah, I was gonna say, please just be glad that people like you and me even map for it anymore. Can't say that about most games.
Oh, so you aren't ditching XP, you just want to learn another OS? That makes things easier, since I'm assuming you don't want to mod or game on it or anything. Or am I misunderstanding you?
Anyway, nothing except Windows works like Windows, it's just the way it is. You don't use the same hard drive system and installation methods and everything, so I guess you kind of have to get use to that. You really need to be an experimental kind of person, and not be afraid to try (or research) anything. because that's the only way you'll ever learn another OS. Picking an inferior one because it's easier would defeat the whole purpose of this.

I recommend you reinstall Windows XP, and try not to handicap yourself again. If you know how to use it, it's quite good.
But if you're really insistent on jumping on the "LOL MICROSOFT SUCKS CUZ IT BROKE AND ITS DEFINITELY NOT MY FAULT" bandwagon, all you can really do is find a Linux distribution that suits you and hope for the best. Sometimes emulation works, sometimes it doesn't, but there's no way in hell you're going to be able to run anything natively.
I use Slackware on my laptop, and despite everybody saying that it's hellishly hard to use, it's actually pretty easy for anyone that has the slightest bit of curiosity about how it works, and is willing to research it. I personally would stay far, far away from anything that attempts to recreate Windows XP's feel, as those OS's tend to be far less configurable, and are more aimed at the kind of person who gets on the computer once a day to check their email and browse the internet for 30 minutes.

I want a new Half-Life1 expansion!Yeeeeaah. THAT seems really likely.
Wow, I don't see how it's far superior if it doesn't even record sound.

And that's for my sake. I do NOT want to get reported, this is the best hosting evar.
Oh, I thought you meant in-game, since you put that map in the vault. Is the problem only confined to that map? Otherwise, I don't see the point of it.
Especially the Mario 64 textures...they just look like shit. I mean, I can sort of understand if you're trying to extract Zelda textures or something, but Mario 64 is practically flat-shaded.
What are you talking about? Select on 3d view? 2D view? What is this for? I don't get it.
EDIT: Link removed.
It works fine for me under Steam.
Yeah, you have to copy those two other included files into your Half-Life directory. Don't worry, they won't overwrite anything.
The stock version is still pretty damn ugly, in my opinion. At least, if I'm right about what the stock version is.
Hmmm... Actually, I'm not entirely sure it's a Dacia. It's got that sunroof, which that model of Dacia doesn't appear to have. Might be a Subaru or something.

TheGrimReafer, that's what I said...
Ag3nt-X, I've been looking into this a lot too, and I ran across some programs that'll extract graphics from ROM files, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting any of it to work. It's mostly a bunch of old programs you have to run through DOS, and I'm really not proficient in that area at all.
Check this out.

He probably just remade them... or else downloaded the ROM and extracted the textures somehow. There's probably an N64 ROM editor off in some dark corner of the interwebs. To actually extract stuff from the cartridges though, you'd probably need something along the lines of this:

Oh. Makes sense, although you could also just ask a mod to edit your first post instead of deleting all this information.
Smilies are being used. Why don't we make a Ricochet icon while we're at it?
Oh, by the way, are we going to be updating the little icons themselves? I think they're extremely hard to see right now.

Gee, it's only 13 pages. And that's not even with the big-screen layout most people have. :
