in How does monster_human_grunt works on OP4? Post #346669
Sounds like they're not very useful. Perhaps they were left in the game but unused or only used in scripted sequences? You could check the official maps to see if and how they are meant to be used

I suggest having a look at one of the door tutorials and maybe downloading one of the attached example maps. If you still can't figure it out, upload your map in the vault so we can have a look at it

Hi! Are there any warnings or error messages in the compile log?

Have a look at the wiki category:Error_Guides or Tommy14's error guide
Oskar Potatis Oskar Potatis🦔
It seems that way. The wiki articles on entities follow the FGD too closely sometimes (another example is that many entities' articles lack "Not In Deathmatch (2048)" even though that flag probably works for all entities), might explain why this was included. I am removing it from the article.

Hi! We have some great tutorials in the wiki I recommend checking out. Most of them assume you use Hammer but you should be able to follow the instructions in JACK too I believe.

category:Goldsource Tutorials
category:Archived Articles

We usually ask for help with our mapping and modding problems in the HL Engine Discussion or Source Engine Discussion forums. Good luck with your map, Jamie!
Oskar Potatis Oskar Potatis🦔
You can't. If you used more than 256 colors and you need a 256-color palette you are going to lose quality, there is no way around that unfortunately (except perhaps by using lots of 16x16 pixel textures instead but that would require more than a simple texture swap).

What you can do is use another editor that does a better job, but you will still loose some quality - that's what we get for still modding these old games. Try GIMP or perhaps Photoshop.

in Need help with custom weapon (sawed-off) Post #346333
Hi there! You could take a look at how other mods have done this. This site has a list of open source mods: https://hlsources.github.io/ It looks like Half-Rats Parasomnia has a double-barrelled shotgun.

You might find the article Weapons Programming - High-Level Overview helpful. A lot of other articles on weapons programming for Half-Life are outdated.

As for the model I would again suggest taking a look at existing work.

Come to think of it, Deathmatch Classic has a double-barrelled shotgun you could take a look at

in HL1 Crossfire map Post #346306
I've had a quick look in the code, and env_explosion, trigger_hurt, and func_breakable don't seem to keep track of who triggered them so you can't use those to kill the players unfortunately. But it looks like func_mortar_field does? I've never used it. Perhaps you can have the button target a trigger_relay targeting a func_mortar_field? Try and see if it works?

in compile crash 512 textures Post #346296
I don't know, but I would try using the updated studiomdl.exe that's included in Sven Co-op's SDK (you can find it in your Steam library in the Tools category). And maybe a different decompiler? https://steamcommunity.com/groups/CrowbarTool
Oskar Potatis Oskar Potatis🦔
Update CHalfLifeMultiplay::PlayerRelationship too. If you have it return GR_TEAMMATE you'll be able to see your friends' health and armour amounts, just like when you play HLDM in teams.

Also, move/copy CHalfLifeTeamplay's ShouldAutoAim implementation into CHalfLifeMultiplay if you don't want auto-aim to target your friends when you have the cvar sv_aim set to 1.

It looks great! I'll be keeping an eye out for crystal_mission in Sven Co-op's server list. If you want to you can post it in TWHL's Map Vault (you can use an external download link if you don't want to re-upload here every time you release an update). What editor did you use? The outdoor parts would be painful to make in Hammer

Hi! If you change sentences.txt, the people who play your map will need to change theirs too, and if they then go on to install other custom maps that also change sentences.txt, your map will break. So it's usually not a good idea to change it for a custom map. But if you make a mod folder for your map, that's not a problem, you can replace anything, including scientist.mdl.

The reason your code doesn't work, The Mighty Goglu, is that GETPLAYERAUTHID(pl->edict()) and "insert_steam_id_here" are pointers to characters, const char*. Two strings can contain the same text (insert_steam_id_here) but not have the same memory address (pointer value) because they're stored in different locations, and you want to compare the text content, not compare where the content is stored in memory. When you do == on two pointers, you compare memory locations. FStrEq (and C's strcmp and similar functions) compare the actual characters those pointers point to.

in Only the server may changelevel, problem Post #345396
That's good. It's best to avoid uppercase letters in file names altogether, or you might unknowingly create a map or mod that works fine when installed on case-insensitive file systems (as commonly used by Windows and Mac OS) but not on case-sensitive ones (as commonly used by Linux and web servers, which are extra important if you instead make a multiplayer map)

in The mods that never were Post #345300
I started learned programming when I was 11 so I could make new weapons for Half-Life. No mod came out of it but it lead to a career in software development, which as far as careers go, is pretty okay I guess. It's good money, but I would probably be happier working with people. Hopefully I can save up and retire early to make up for that, perhaps somewhere with more agreeable winter climate and sun hours, like New Zealand. And I'll make an awesome Half-Life mod in 2040. It will have func_vehicle and throwing knives.

Weeks, maybe even a few months would be my guess (whenever the format of dates in TWHL's API changed). I have been distracted so I didn't investigate before now

Formula 1
In this sport, people drive dozens of laps around the same track in expensive, fast cars. But not too fast because of a bunch of limits that keep changing? The best car usually wins I think. I'm not into sports: if I must watch something I choose ice hockey or one of those funny sports like tractor pulling or competitive rock paper scissors. Sorry. Bad reviewer.

in Delta City 2155 - looking for Mapper Post #344826
You might want to post information about what kind of pay someone can expect. I'm not looking for freelance work, but if I was, it would be important for me to know that I could get decently paid before I would even consider work from an individual on the Internet. Programmers with a little bit of professional experience and a Linkedin profile get messages from so many recruiters they don't even bother to read everything or to reply "sorry, no". I understand that for a project like this the joy of being part of this creative project and the love for the game are valuable rewards, but if money is part of the incentive, it's good to have at least a rough estimate. I wish you luck
