in HL1 zombie models question. Post #311313

I believe it is submodel files,
if you look scientist model there is 7 files; 4 head model 2 needle submodel (normal and needle) and 1 main model

I think there is some use for that but its mystery for me
maybe they are connected with dll/VHE each other so we can select heads hmm..

its possible to recompile and add them in one file as far as I can remember

in What's the difference between half life Post #311277

maybe it is easy system, but more function/feature = more time to work

thats what im trying to say, when you make big scenes etc, its start confusing specially if you are new with source sdk..

architecture is same, but source have more potential to make the geometric surface's.. and source is actually old for this new age so you have to work more for fine map. aggree with terror, you will never run out of resources in source so sometimes it takes a lot of time for modding and mapping etc.. thats what I'm trying to say

in What's the difference between half life Post #311273

HL1 much easier to make maps but it is have some limitations, source is fine but consume a lot of time to make something good.

there is a lot of entity changes between source and goldsrc mapping, if you are going for source, you will see complicated and different entity system but once you learn it, its peace of cake

also you have to use your architecture skills more harder because hl2 not blocky like hl1 much, there is displacamant more limits and compatibility's. (thats why I'm working with goldsrc now, easier..)

thats all I can say..

in requesting team members for platoon mod Post #310981

First im looking for coder's, this is the main problem
I know maybe this mod not updated much but its stopped not dead..
after a years im still working for new things, like models, maps, storyline etc.. if you don't know about old work look here:

http://www.moddb.com/mods/platoon

and now i want to show you what i did for a while;
I'm connected few maps togather (intro maps (2-3) with other maps (10+))

now using some files that enables bloom, blur and glow the game (some cg and opengl32 files) my friend found them and I guess its rare, it says "tron" in the web I don't know who is developer yet

this is the latest single map made with lots of brushwork:

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.232780260185840.57128.220316578098875&type=1

this is the xen like map:

models:
baby spider:

used this model from paranoia, but changed a bit:
(please tell me if its okay to use paranoia mod models)

this will be used in scene:

fish model without animations:

in making a check point ? Post #302714

@DiscoStu
I didn't understand; I think there is a possibility to turn everything default after finish the round, if that's what you mean.

@Cstrikeman

I added kill triggers if you want to test its works or not.
Did you activate "checkpoint 1" by walking through "one sign block" and opened door?(you need to see text "checkpoint x activated!")
if yes,
then I need to ask what mod are you using?
counter strike 1.6? half life?
Steam or won version?
Maybe some entities can't be recognized with your mod.

also you can't test it with "singleplayer" you need open the game with "multiplayer" i mean don't use console or shortcut to open the map

in making a check point ? Post #302701

i have a idea! he can use teleporters...
move player spawn points outside of the world where you cant see anything.
you can use "null" texture to close all sides.

remember this is only team 1 and you need knowledge of teleports:

now make a 3 trigger_teleport, 2 multi_source, 2 trigger_relay.

place trigger_teleport where players first spawn(outside of the world).
this trigger_teleport will instantly teleport players to your world.

name: instant_teleport_kill

you will kill this teleport (deactivate) when you complete objective 1.

place trigger_teleport where players first spawn(outside of the world)
(this entity is not activated yet)
name: checkpoint1
master: pointcaptured1

put the multi_source somewhere.
name: pointcaptured1
target: instant_teleport_killer

put trigger_relay somewhere.(This entity kills instant teleporter)
name: instant_teleport_killer
killtarget: instant_teleport_kill

when you trigger "pointcaptured1" (players completed to capture checkpoint1) players will spawn near checkpoint1

another check point:

place trigger_teleport where players first spawn(outside of the world)
(this entity is not activated yet)
name: checkpoint2
master: pointcaptured2

put the multi_source somewhere.
name: pointcaptured1
target: checkpoint1_killer

put trigger_relay somewhere.(This entity kills checkpoint1)
name: checkpoint1_killer
killtarget: checkpoint1

when you trigger "pointcaptured2" (players completed to capture checkpoint2) players will spawn near checkpoint2

if you don't understand i will make a example map for you

hi guys
I'm recognized there is some sprite directory in my fgd file
but it never be used,

it is the string lines(example):

@PointClass iconsprite("sprites/xxx.spr") base(Targetname) = xxx : "XXX"

because i don't have the sprite file,
i cant find it either anybody can send them to me?

here they are:
speaker.spr
lightbulb.spr

i understand and liked the idea very much
i will add more sprite directory to my fgd file,
new sprites for entity's is so cool isn't it?

if anybody can find new sprites for hammer send them here..(multi maneger,trigger auto, spark etc.. etc..)

EDIT:

here is the one of the new sprite i added for monster maker:

in Fix Pitch Black Spots? (pics) Post #299611

interesting
i know this problem before but never heard what needed to do

i don't know, but you can try something
make a brush with "invisible" texture to inside that crane
or make a wall (blue-invisible) and insert it to crane
remember you need walk on that wall not crane object
maybe it can solve the problem

i think it happens because there is no "ground object"
so it think you are in the out of the world something..

as far as i know compiler log is not short like this

anyway you can try backup your map, than slice it to half, close the big leak and try again,
if it don't work, try other half

you can find the error with this method when you don't know anything about any error

if you exceed the halflife limitations, you need reduce from everything a bit

in General Problems Post #299299

if you want to copy object to same position, don't touch any settings

default settings:

number of copies to paste = "how many copy you want to?" (default=1)

"start at center of original" = this will paste objects to same position(should be checked (default = checked)

"group copies" = it will group your objects together (default=not checked)

offset = all offset options should be 0 if you want to paste objects in same spot (default = x=0,y=0,z=0)

remember:
if you change those values you need make them default again yourself
because if you forgot about them everything can be go wrong

make a practice with paste special, because it save too much time
try change the clone value, (number of paste) try change rotation, and offset I'm sure you will understand what is this things

in General Problems Post #299240

you can bring all scenes to one if you want it, use trigger auto's and multi manager's , if you can make the good timing you can get good results

anyway you can use them with map change of course..

edit:

here is what you need to know:
you can copy the landmark same position with paste special ability to other maps (it will fix the "dimensions" problems)

second,
when you start the trigger, you can control the effects with multi manager (sounds, beams, sprites, teleports)

use trigger auto to start the other scenes for other maps(multi managers), it will automatically active the events
also you can activate the change level too...
