Err, does a new window appear and show up some text messages before HL starts?
Try to check the 'don't run the game' checkbox before you start compiling.

This wouldn't fair. Just because you have a problem with the quality of the maps, we cannot limit access this way. I've seen no one else here who was equaly annoyed by this.
Why don't you look at the profile of the map posters, if he's "older" than a week, you give him a chance, otherwise not.

TWHL is for everybody.
Image you'd travel to a foreign country and there they tell you to stay at home the first week because you're new there. That's pretty much the same.
Everyone must have a chance to make mistakes, even if it annoys others.

Er, I think wally fits onto a single diskette.
Why do you ask anyway, just download it and you'll see that it's only 1.2 megs big.

Very bad idea. Then no one would upload maps anymore. The vault made for everyone to upload his maps. It is not made to provide quality maps only.
If you have a problem with the quality, why don't you push it up a bit by posting own high quality maps?

You did not understand my post.
I do not want you as my opponed or even enemy. So I won't say anything else. Just one thing, the last post concerning the spirit discussion was written on 22 Jun 04 13:11.
I'll leave it at that. And I hope neither you nor any one else here is mad at me after that spirit thing.

I think it's quite hard to fill your space ship with enough fuel to exit the earth traction field.
I know, but Jahzel didn't name the author and since no one in this thread said it, I asked.
You seem to be an expert with formating, MOP.
Can you tell me what type of formation format.com does?
That's the way I do formating.

Hey you forgot the '!' behind hazardous! ... 
I don't believe that, with present technology, a human can fly far enough to get 'lost in space'. I even have my doubts about the moonlanding.
Anyway, a car crash in space is probably less lethal than it'd be on earth. You only get an impulse by the car, you don't fly against any walls, drop on the ground from high above it or get rolled over by the car afterwards. You'd maybe have broken legs, but the chances to survive are better than on earth.
A short excursus into hazardous!' world of physics.

Jahzel, fighting does not always mean violence. It's okay to fight in a peaceful way.
Faring a war is a way to achieve the goals of one specific group very fast, nothing else. And you never achieve the goals of the attacked.

Well, to make you a favour, I'll agree with your second post, not with the first one though.

CP, your post explains how to use the body option of a model.
This thread was about tying sprites to models, as far as I didn't get anything wrong.

@muppet: see? perfect situation for spirit.
Still I think that this compo should stay pure HL, since most people, icluding me, started mapping without spirit already.
But it'd be nice to have the next compo a spirit one.

What d'you think about getting back 'Movie?'?
Using spirit in this project shouldn't be a problem for BL. He makes the terrain, which does not require a lot of entity work.

Sacrofices have to be made to achieve such thing, and it may be hard along the way, but in the end is a satisfying result. People are freed, and peace is restored.The problem is that almost only iraqis belong to the sacrifices 'that have to be made'.
It also is quite obvious that this 'satisfying result' does not really satisfy the iraqis, the people who should have the decision whether they're satified or not.
BL, I cannot belive that you are so ... easy to influence.
Gnn! Can you make a smaller version for me and modem users please?
I don't need super quality, and 15fps are enough for me too.
I have about 5-8kb/s downstream. 20megs take about one hour and I don'T have a flatrate.
Btw: Do you know Xvid? It's at least as good as DivX and, afaik, for free. Virtual Dub is also a very good program for converting videos.

@7th: I'm just trying to make spirit legal for future compos. This one has already started and there's no need to cange it. But It'd be cool to have the option to use spirit on the next compo.
No one will find a map more fancy because that damn windshield moves with the train. The judge, I think it's Andy, certainly knows what can easily be done with spirit and what is tough and will give a judgement based on that.
When people hear spirit, most of them think of the stupid movewith function. Spirit is more than that. Half-Life does have more features than a 3 storey elevator, too. And no one will let you win a compo because you have been...

As I said above, spirit is still 80% Half-Life. It increases the flexibility and the possibility of using the features of the engine with the need to code.
Why are you so afraid of spirit? Do you fear a spirit-monster-mapper attack?
Someone who can build good maps on spirit, must also have a lot of experience with normal Half-Life mapping. With spirit he can just add some fancy boni to the map. If spirit add pixel shader FX or something far away from the basic Half-_ife, I'd agree with you. But it doesn't. It offers more entities, that's all.

lazy...when using spirit.
Vassy:
It's not mapping skill, and only increases file size. Sounds, models and textures can easily be taken from other mods anyway.That's exactly what I'm talking about. Taken models that other people made do not show you mapping skill, using them well does. Spirit shows your mapping skill, because the entity handling and the complexity heavily dencrease the ease of working with it.

Spirit is an HL mod.It is now! Even in the custom games dialogue of HL it says 'toolpack'.

So, tell me what does spirit make easier that could really improve your map.
Of course, if someone is using spirit, he should also make use of it in an interesting way.
So, you want to send us down, eh? Be sure you're not the only one who planned this.

With spirit comes the entity guide. Browse it for movement_manager, afaik that's the entity you're looking for. It can, amongst other things, tie objects to one attachment point of a model.
You might have to decompile the model and modify the attachment point, if you want more than 'head' and 'weapon' attachments.

I, once again, propose to use Spirit, it's a bit tricky getting into it, but it's worth the efforts.
^Doesn't seem like a thoughtful reply to me.
Have you ever tried using spirit? It's not just about 'movewith' shit.
Spirit is powerful and using it does require a lot of trying around and coping with many problems, just like photoshop, 3Dsmax etc.
Anyway.
Hello Andy, are you still out there. I'd just like to know what you think about my point of view, after all you do the final decision.

You're so right, Jahzel.
Maybe this should be put on a newspaper or so.

Did I say right side? That's wrong of course, it's on the left side. 
As 7th said, code.
You can use spirit though, it offers limited possibilities to 'glue' object to the attachment points of models.

On the right side you usually find the tool bar.
There are three block symbols. One has the same texture on each side, one has different textures. Click that button to open the texture application tool.
Now you can modify the texture on each face seperately.

The rotation speed is degrees per second.
The second hand has to do 360? in 60 seconds, so 6?/s.
The minute hand has to rotate 360? in 3600 seconds, which is 0.1?/s.
The hour handle performs one rotation in 43200 seconds, about 0.0083?/s.
I think the speed of the hour handle is too slow for HL.

After all this is a mapping-contest. You're supposed to show your mapping skills. Yes, the other stuff is important too, but the focus is on mapping.
You're right, having spirit is not skill.
Handling spirit is! Being able to use the power of spirit is similar to being able to use the power of photoshop or other programs.
Still spirit is more than 80% Half-Life, it just adds a lot of improvements which require skill to master them.

Hehe, the price is 10.000.000 bucks and these guys already spent like $35m.
I somewhere read that astro-scientists predicted that window-seat in a space ship will only $100.000 within a few decades.
Things are getting cheaper and cheaper, eh?

I slightly disagree with you. It's ok to forbid spirit if it's based on the fact that not everyone has.
BUT! Then the same should apply to textures, models, sprites and maybe sounds too. Because not everybody is skilled enough or simply does not have the software to make own grafics and sounds.
I believe that it's not a big thing to download spirit. And for the entries it could be included just like textures, models, sprites and sounds.
A lot of people could compensate their lack of skill in 2d design by kicking the last out of the HL engine with spirit.
I think the issue about custom media and code in the TWHL compos should be reconsiderated.

Yep, I'll probably find some time for working on my little mappack, which also includes drawing sketches.
Also because drawing is a pretty important component of making games. And I intend to work in this branche.

You'll get used to it over the time.

Open the texture browser and type 'origin'. Create a brush covered with that texture in the middle of the wheel. The center of this brush will be the rotating axis for the wheel.
With the flags you can set the axis around which the wheel will rotate.

1. Is the 'wait for retrigger' flag checked? If yes, switch it of.
2. Does the lower path_corner have the upper as 'next stop traget'? If not set it to the upper path_corner.

Actually, giving the train an initial speed should make it work, too. There are many ways, try all and find your favourite.
Try trigger_auto.
Hm, what about a fake sticky function? A moderator periodically posts bump-replies for the thread. That'd become the longest thread ever.
Seriously, would it be possible to add an extra link above the the boards, or next to the forums button in the sidebar, so as the helplink?
