I get this sometimes on maps when i have only test spawns, or 1 t, 1 ct, and 1 info_player_gordon(even though it's not needed), so i'm guessing it's related to spawns; i never get glitch when there are the normal 32 spawnpoints present.

i'm trying a fresh install of csgo just because i'm curious to see if it fixes some of the small errors i get loading the game and the sdk. (i'm expecting the errors to still be there after i reinstall, but it's worth a shot)

without knowing what you've tried already i would say maybe:

-adjust your gfx cards toward performance instead of "let the program choose graphics settings"
-turn down your graphics settings in csgo (i don't even know if you can?)
-run in fullscreen not a window
-upgrayedd gfx drivers
-verify game cache of csgo fiels

a clean install but it probably wouldn't help, but it's something else you could try. another unpaletable opotion would be to upgrayedd your gfx card (i'm guessing your current one is ati/radeon?

in What's the difference between half life Post #311275
I feel source is very much the same, but with some little and some big differneces.

One big difference is resources. you will never run out of resources in source, and if you do you bigger problems ;)

One little difference is certain things like visgroups are improved, so much so they are kinda like a new tool, and drastically increases your workflow--especially quickhide and quickhide unselected--if you use them.

also it should be mentioned, the entity system is improved to an unbelievable level. It's a bit foreign at first compared to goldsource, but man, it possible to really do anything with source entities.

I just got battlefront II(-50%), and i'm going to get some cheapies off my wishlist:

-Poker Night At The Inventory(50% off)
-Dear Esther(50% off)

Also, i'm re-buying the hl1 and cs anthologies(both 50%), so now i'll have all my half-life games on one steam account -OR i might just wait for them to go -75% off eventually =)

so if we're branching out from the half-life universe, i'd love to see a star wars jedi knight or battlefront deathmatch, but i'm not sure if you can play those games online anymore? <checking...>

might be fun to do a red alert 2 or yuri's revenge ladder as they are free to download and play online, but it lags a bit when you make more than 20 units =)

in Fluorescent flicker - the good old probl Post #311159
Only thing i can think to try is change any complex shapes in the area to func_wall, and maybe the shadows will be cheaper for the engine to render than a world brush?

Also, a general brightening of the entire area might help, as i remember someone saying the brighter the level is the faster the fps?

i would love to see an xmas themed, community-submitted map competition and fragfest. alternatively maybe, if the person entering didn't want to build a map, they could perhaps choose a map they'd like to see in the mix?

As far as gametype/engine, i don't really know what would be best, and/or if you should have multiple games or just keep it to one...

agrees with urby, we want to maximize participation; if that's goldsource then so be it <shudders> =)

a somewhat less desirable alternative would be to have accept source/goldsource entries, and have seperate game servers as well.

it's funny, that lately we are all gung ho about having coops/compos, and many times have prize money and games, but it nobody participates lately(myself included).

can we make this a mapping competiton as well, and frag each other on our new maps?

maybe you could have prizes both for the top-three maps and fraggers. also for the mapping component, perhaps make it community voting so all the mods can participate?

It's an actual house i used to live in, where the bottom level was originally an old milk house, which was convereted 2 a two-car garage and workshop, and 3 floors above were added: living area, Master Bedrooom, and a loft/attic, which had it's own shower and small bath.

in max map models - 512 Post #311059
goldsource renders all brush entities all the time afaik, so it makes no difference in terms of performance(do func_details have a working fade distance?); you can tell if you noclip out of the bounds of your level, all the func_walls for example should be visible, while all the world brushes disappear.

i tried using vhlt's func_details on my old BsG map, and i wasn't impressed, but then i really never mapped for goldsource after that, so i only have limited experience with them...

Really i'm going to hold my tounge before passing judgement on this, but it doesn't look good...

I will say this, your state of mind when walking into a flick can really impact how receptive you are to it, e.g., the first time i saw cloud atlas, i thought it was the most profound movie i ever saw; the second time i felt it was nothing special.

wow that looks really cool Tsaras!

I think you are always gonna have seam there at one point, though you can align it better than that.

Maybe, if you select all those interior faces and click "face"(or world if face doesn't work), then "center" buttons, with the little box that says "treat as one" checked.

play with it and it should work, if not, feel free to upload a problem map and we can give it a crack ;)

in Map your house coop Post #310795
that's great tjb, but remember, you do not need csgo to participate ;)

As far as accuracy goes, it's really up you, and i would continue that thought to say you don't have to build your actual home if you don't want to; you may choose another whichever residence you like, or the "perfect" home in your head =)

I prefer mapping things, especially real-world things as accurately as i can, but keep in mind in you use hammer inches/centimeters, your gonna have to re scale it up and out so it looks/feels right in the game. (you can get by using hammer units as a start, but corridors for example will be very cramped)

Would anyone be interested in mapping your house, and at the end we can arrange them on a street, i.e. urby may be neighbors with tetsu0?

If y, i would be willing to accept entries from any hl/hl2 engine game, and port them to csgo classic casual map.

Note: to people who may live in a tenament building, it makes it a bit more difficualt, but i would off you two suggestions: 1. map the interior of your home and then make up an exterior or just map the whole building =P

Anyone interested post your work and/or ideas for this here, and when we get enough houses or enough time has passed, i'd volunteer to combine them to a TWHL neighborhood =)
