I mean it's not that old, is it? (could google but cbf). It's certainly way newer than my portable PS7 i've been using these past few years =)

Very awesome Don! =)

Tet: you should be able to get the entire Adobe suite at a student discount directly from adobe OR maybe if you speak to someone in the department of Art/design at your school maybe they have other ways to hook you up? ;)

BEVEL isn't completely non-solid
So could you use bevel-textured brushes above models to create/accent shadows?

I never used bevel personally. at the end of my goldsource mapping i started using stokens' suggestion to use sky on unseen faces over nulling...

Samzies kraken, i just passed the awesome halfway point, or, that point you reach in a map where you are pretty sure it's gonna turn out good--before today, i didn't think i'd be able to develop anything worth a damn in time ;)

I hope i'm correct in gauging my time, but either way i'll be rushed all the way to the end, and that's fine :)

this would have been a good method to use for 30 brushes as a sculpting tool, but I suppose u could clip to achieve a similar result.

it would be interesting to test what methods produces the least planes, to maximize goldsource's meager limit.

in Sky texture question Post #312543
maybe the cooridor is just far enough away so vis isn't rendering it, in other words, no special trickery needed here; In other cases--such as i described above--, this method will not work ='(

So i guess it depends on what you're trying to do exaclty :)

in Sky texture question Post #312541
Could you do an example soup? that could be pretty damn useful, especially hiding "see-through" areas of skybox, with a concave layout, where there are no walls to hide the overlap!

meanwilst i'm gonna try out that nipper map and see what zeeba is talking about, i think i already have it..

I see you were right zeeba! I will now munch on my own words =)

in Sky texture question Post #312537
I don't think you saw what you thought you saw, since a skybrush itself will always render invisible afaik.

What i think you saw is someone made an additional texture from the environment texture, at least that would be my first guess ;)

Do you remember the map?

No i cannot, but there are many barney mods out there. Maybe this one? Or my favourite so far, Redneck Barney.

Those two modifications are 2 out of 95 i found on GB, though not all of them are for HL.

I would be all for an extension except i can't take advantage really because of the CEVO contest.

I'm changing the direction of my entry to something simpler/symetrical, so i might finish on time. Maybe i'll make it a tf2 koth-style map...

This contest map will be my opus(hopefully,if all goes well), and then i'm gonna take a break from mapping and try to branch out to different aspects of modding, mostly modeling probably.

I will probably submit a personal map and at least one studio/team map, so if anyone has ideas for a team venture, i'm all ears. I can bring to the table brushwork and optimization skills, AND possibly an idea or two, but that's about it ;)

Entries for this are gonna have to be basically perfect in every way to even have a chance, so it's likely a team effort has a better shot of nabbing a prize.

With $500 for firstly place, this is basically the chance of a lifetime for any serious mapper :o

Oh and the deadline is 3 months from now, so you'll have plenty of time to compete in in floating island and this one if you so choose; even if you are a poorly old women with no place to sleep, you can't say you don't have time for this one :)

Teams are aloud and i think you can submit more than one map if you want, so, who's in?

in Odd ambient generic problem in Half-Life Post #312202
doc: not all the hl sounds are cued afaik, but it's to test them, opeing in goldwave for example and "edit cues".

how do all these weird glitches happen to you dimbark? Maybe show us pics of the brushwork/skybox of that area or link to a sample of the vmf, as i don't recall ever have this happening...

Does the same patch of sky appear correctly at a different viewing angle?

in Odd ambient generic problem in Half-Life Post #312181
If your sounds are set to repeat continuously, den make sure they have at least one cue point, else they will only play once and then never again, so this may be your problem.

Not sure what to tell ya, but i would check and re-check the usual stuff:

-make sure you don't have more than 10 outputs per multimanager
-make sure all mm are set to "multithreaded" just in case

for total control of the sounds this is my entity setup for each one:

-ambient generic with multithreaded flag on
-mm
0.1 play sound
x.x duration stop sound

This way, the sound is reset everytime, and can be called multiple times. All the sounds should have at least one cue, otherwise they may only play once, which actually might be your root problem ;)

Anyhoo, let us know what the solution is when you find it please! =)
