well i never did much hl2 or cs:s mapping so it's still a bit new to me.were could i find those prefabs you see in cs_office? like the computers, projectors, soda machines etc. under prefabs i have "box"...and hl2 prefabs theres like 12 hl2 related prefabs that arent really useful when trying to make an office building type map 
ill upload the map later this week, because ive tried both ways and no luck.
oh ok i get it thanks, id tie both of them to the same entity but i needed to seperate ones!
it spins through the object,im not sure what im doing wrong, so im gonna go through it step by step.i should also mention its a fan laying down on something. (fan tut didnt help much :/)
1. i made a fan
2. put an origin brush through it
3. checked the start on and y axis boxes
the only problem i can think of is the origin not being tied to the correct entitiy

try checking the blue shift or opposing force cds to see what textures those have on them. you might find them useful.
i used to play a game like this. it was called earth 2021.

No, this isn't one of those things were you stare at the screen and something jumps out at you. I'ts a reaction time tester. My best time is 0.197.
Post your scores.

Darkest hour - For the soul of the savior 
I agree there should be another hl1 comp. But this should probably be under "Site Comments and Suggestions "
thanks ill try that
How much coding would i have to do if i wanted to to take weapons out of of CS:S and put it into HL2 or vice versa?Or would it be as simple as just putting files from one folder into another?
I Probaly should of mentioned what Daubster said, sorry
will try,thanks.
well VAVLe got me me addicted to the half-life series...so it doesnt really matter what the price is I MUST HAVE IT! 
i do have lights on my map though, an there arent any leaks because its just a simple little box with a spotlight.
well ill keep on trying to get it working thanks for the help

Ive been trying to map for source lately, but every time i compile a map its either pitch black or the character and weapon skin are completely black.
I get this error Error: Material "engine/occlusionproxy" uses unknown shader "Occlusion" i have a feeling its something to do with my graphics card. not sure though. Any help is appriecated. :]

interesting, i might have to try playing around with a few settings/files.
thanks
Try using func_monsterclip.
thanks
i had kind of an interesting idea...would it be possible to use one sky texture on one side of the map and then using another sky texture on another part so it looks like on part of the map is in....lets say the city.While the other lets say...the mountains?

the diffrent "enviorment" files (ex:cl_city) are stored? i cant seem to find what folder they are in.
its not that its hard to memorize half-life 2, its just that hl1 > hl2. it has a higher replay value. i played through half-life 2 maybe 3 times...half-life 1 on the other hand...like a billion
well your suggestion worked, thanks. but now to figure out the problem with the first one...
Im making a map with a leaky pipe, and ive tried two things to make water droplets. 1.using env_blood (suggested in the rope,waterfall, and water drop tutorial.) and 2. sprite based water drops. Im not sure what the problem is with the first env_blood based water drops...they just dont show up in the map. But the second sprite based water drops work, but have a black background and are not transparent...which make it look very ugly : Help for any of these problems is greatly appreciated
thanks, but the pak0 file was for a mod. i find using pak0 files better for storing and keeping mod files organized.
a while back i was messing around with the colors of weapons, and every time id put the new model into my mods pak0 file,half-life would freeze up and id get an error message. then i noticed theres three diffrent files for each weapon. for instance theres p_crowbar.mdl , v_crowbar.mdl , and w_crowbar.mdl. is there a specific one i have to change or do i have to replace all of them in order to change the color of a hl weapon?
well i dont know what i did wrong but ill just save my self some time and use the pak0 file
for some reason that didnt work
solved my problem instead of using wally, i downloaded pakscape
instead of using wally, i downloaded pakscapehow would i go about saving a new or slightely edited npc model (barney) into my mod's pak0 file? because i can't seem import any files into the pak0 using wally.
ive tryed it with the toggle box checked, is there any way something mite be interfering like a leak or something?
yea it was set on start on but i guess ill try the file path doctor cheese or daubster suggested. thanks.
when i placed ambient_generic in a map it didn't work. so i went back and read the tutorial. and it says that the .wav file i want to play has to be in the valve/sound/ambience folder. but theres no sound folder inside my valve folder : so i made one ( a sound/ambience inside the valve folder.), but that didnt work either...any ideas?
thanks, at least now i can play around with light textures. to bad it doesn't work for others, imagine flicking a light switch and the walls change colors
if it's possible to use a button to trigger one texture to change to another. and if so can any one tell me how? help is appreciated 
well i only have 512 mb of ram, and when i have aim running, internet explorer open,and downloading things, my computer tends to run slower so i try to shut off everything i dont need.
i dont know about other people but personaly i prefer not using steam to make maps. its easier for me, and saves memory cuz steam doesnt have to run.
