A 4-plus hour long compile for a map the size of Dust 2 that's no more complex than any of the other official maps? What do you have, a 500 MHz Celeron and 128 MB of RAM? That's just not right. But yeah, fast VIS could be a problem if you haven't blocked off the different areas from view of each other very well. You never said anything about the r_speeds though, so I don't actually know if the map itself is much of a problem.
One thing you might want to check though, is how many programs you have running in the background. If you've got a lot, that may be the problem, because even running a simple hollowed cube map on my computer, if I have Hammer, GCFScape, a couple web pages, Chatzilla and Azureus running, then Half-Life will slow down like it's 1999.

Strange, I was going to say the exact opposite. I played that mod and was totally unimpressed with the mapping and gameplay, so much that I gave up after the first couple maps.
MuzzleFlash: That was actually a pretty long time ago, and I doubt he'd still care about this place by now. You can email him yourself if you want, that's how I talked to him...but I'd wait for TWHL3 if you were going to do that.

I have contact with Rowley. Last time I talked to him though, he said he wasn't into Half-Life mapping anymore.
Maybe its just 2 x 2.0ghz cores?If you'd read the rest of the thread, you would know that we came to that conclusion.
Ok il go back to xp thanks i guessYou have made a wise choice.
My parents prefered a pre-builded one because the total warranty of 3 years. So well, If I need to upgrade the computer in the future I just have to go to the shop.As opposed to just upgrading it yourself, which is easier and not as time-consuming? I don't understand...
Anyway, you never answered, how much will you be paying for the pre-built one? I just don't see how anything with the same parts as the ones you listed will go for anything less than 1500 if you're buying it from some common computer manufacturer.
It's not a good idea if he wants DirectX 10. Also, it's not nearly the same performance, 8800GT is like an 8800GTX except way cheaper. :
I actually wouldn't mind if somebody spent a decent amount of time and remade a whole chapter of Half-Life 2 for Half-Life 1. Maybe one of the chapters where you don't have the gravity gun yet. That might be fun. But most of the stuff in Half-Life 2, you just couldn't remake well enough for it to be worth it.
i have no TIME for a stupid, simple map.Oh man, you really won't allow anyone to help you, will you? A "stupid, simple map", as opposed a to a stupid, pointless, yet large mod? You should have plenty of time, if you ditch this current idea or yours. Sigh...
Where are you buying this pre-built PC from, and how much is it going to cost you? Because in a few minutes I configured a setup with those exact specifications on Newegg, and it came to $1275, Vista Home Premium included. And I wasn't even skimping on things like the case, power supply, or DVD burner. Now, I realize you don't live in the U.S., so Newegg wouldn't be an option for you, but I'm guessing you could still configure one for around the same price in Spain.
And original Half-Life single player maps are fun. Well, generally anyway. Seeing a crappy remake of Half-Life 2 on an old engine isn't fun, it's sad.
Nope, I was the only one who suggested that you were the same person, and I only thought that for a little while. You obviously aren't. Settle down.
You would if you knew you were being a little shit while doing it, and you didn't want to ruin your reputation or something.
Wow. So much fail in one thread. And I was beginning to think Halflife_master had created thehalflifedude to avoid criticism.
He obviously meant 4GHz dual core. Probably overclocking it.Well, obviously, but I like to make fun of people's English anyway.
And the hard drive spins at 7200 rpm, which is mroe or less the standard speed.
Still the dual core thing was pretty funny.

eh starts redundant threads and doesn't afraid of banhammer.
By the way, I don't think thehalflifedude and Halflife_master are the same cool guys...it's just a sad circumstance that they happen to bear similar names and ask the same question.

lol Vista.
4gig dual core
7200 rmpHahaha, what?
No you can't...not without a trigger...unless maybe you've got the "use only" flag on. Anyway, I think you'd have a hard time convincing anyone that this is tutorial-worthy.
Also, learn to use quote tags please.

hey guys! you think i should write a tutorial on how to make doors open and stay open? (only you can't just press the use key to close them. they actually stay open.) i'm asking you guys cuz' a door that stays open just seems kinda useless.You mean a tutorial on how to type "-1" in the "delay before close" field of the door's properties? No, I don't think that'll be necessary.
EDIT: woa. i just checked out the stats thing. somebodys been looking at my profile more than 45 times.Well, you realize you have stirred up quite the ruckus on the forums with your careless behavior, right? That's as good of a way to get attention as any.
There's some mod here that uses physics...Arrange Mode, that's what it's called. Strange name that is. Anyway, I think they use a Gravity Gun, but I'm not sure. Check their ModDB profile, they stopped updating us here months ago, since we had a fairly negative reaction to that mod.
19 inch widescreens are cheap! At least, mine was. And that was last year.

No. There already are official TWHL awards, and you have to do more than log in every day and visit IRC once a week to receive them.
I know nothing, apparently.
Some people just can't understand the finer points of #twhl's humor. I pity the fool who hates on Nickelplate.
You should seriously consider attaining Photoshop.
Coulda been real though.

That's funny, because I installed it just fine without doing anything to it. Just extracted it to my Half-Life folder, and it worked. I didn't extract the PAKs or anything.

There're like 8 submodels of the 8800 seriesI thought that was a bit of an exaggeration. Then I checked on Newegg. GT, GTS, GTS (G92), GTX, and Ultra. Yikes.
At least he didn't say it was an "8 series card".
Apparently.
I,m not a killer...I,m your friend.....I,m come in lovely.....Last time I heard that was right before I was raped by a psychotic beaver.
I liek my CRKT M16 EDC.
A spring in the safety mechanism popped out when I tried to loosen it up, but I got some TORX screwdrivers for Christmas to take it apart and fix that.

A firm, firm computer chair. Really firm. Shit. I'll stick to computer parts next year. 
I don't know how much RAM you have though. But, you're right, if you have a dual core computer of any sort, it's probably going to be new enough to process stuff like this in a couple seconds. I think you might be placing a tad too many nodes in, which could increase the chances that you reach the entity limit, but I don't know for sure what you're doing.
Hmmm... Well, again I think you'd encounter the problem of getting the four second door to stay open until you need it.
Now that I think about it more, I probably could just have had a toggleable door, a trigger_multiple, two multi_managers, and a trigger_changetarget. The first multi_manager (targeted by the trigger_multiple) would trigger the toggleable door to open, then trigger it again after ten seconds, then trigger the trigger_changetarget, which would change the target of the trigger_multiple to the other multi_manager that toggles the door to close after four seconds.

If it was just one map, it'd probably be fine, and nobody would want to go to the trouble of copying one more file into their Half-Life directory anyway, but if it was a map pack it'd be a bitch to have the node graph recreate itself when every map loads, so you'd want to include it with something like that.
Actually, I've never had it take as long as a minute for a node graph to be recreated. For me it's usually two or three seconds at the most. You must be on a really old computer, or else you're placing way too many info_nodes. You only need one about every 256 units, though some people recommend 128. It really just depends, because for more crowded areas you'll want more.

I forgot that there is a big online encyclopediaDoh.
Well, I think you have the concept of the node graph wrong. Nodes are meant to be placed throughout the level to guide the monsters through the map, to define a rough kind of path that they can follow. You don't just place them next to the monster, they're supposed to be everywhere, otherwise the monsters won't know where walls and stuff are, and they won't know where to hide and retreat to.
About turning enemy monsters into friendly ones though, no, you cannot make it attack the enemy instead of you. Spirit of Half-Life apparently has an option to change this, though.

Haha, I wouldn't have expected for Orb to actually get ahead of Life's End or Timefall when I first voted for it. That's just wrong. It's good, but not THAT good.
So maybe you can buy games for other people's accounts, but can you transfer your games? I don't think so.
Fortunately you can't go too wrong with RAM. Basically, the more the better.
Oh snap, my motherboard also caught on fire.
Madcow is right, I just clicked it and had to reinstall Windows. I lost all my files on all three of my hard drives and my Steam account was stolen.
I don't understand, how on earth would you go about "trading" these games through Steam?
Ghetto, they used to sell Geforce 5 series cards with that much memory. The amount of memory a card has is not very indicative of its performance, and it usually has a negligent impact on it. It is, however, used as a tactic to sell crappy cards to people who don't know any better.
Also, just realized how old this thread was. D:

There is an option to change between them. That's been covered so much before, I don't even know how it could be a question.
