First one is definitely xen_plantlight as DiscoStu said
Second one could be Source (sauce)
Last one... Not sure. Deathmatch?

Nope.
Perhaps expand it a bit beyond just entities? Mapping-related things in general?Perhaps expand it a bit beyond just entities? Mapping-related things in general?
Haha! Load pointfile!

Haha. Love it

The second image makes me think Multi_Manager, but I don't understand the purpose of the juice.
Mua ha ha ha! Adding it to The Core as we speak! 
Pretty sure you need to include the RMF there as well
I think I understand the issue.
The door will be lit depending on where it is positioned when the map compiles. If you want a door to start open, have it closed in the editor, then check the "Starts Open" flag.

Shhh
We're always watching
Looking forward to seeing what comes out of this. There haven't been very many WIP shots at all...
I'm pretty damn certain that people will still be modding for Goldsource in 2017
First drafts are due on the 1st of March
I've made this point before, but messup/troll mods are the cancer of moddb. Do we really need it here as well? 
I know I'm biased because it's originally my mod, but The Core is looking pretty sexy these days. Mostly Archie's sections
put 4 of the same ambient generics outside the fighting arena. tick the 'play everywhere' flag and it'll minimize the stereo effect.Ah, ghetto play everywhere.
We used to have to do that in The Core.
Don't forget to reduce the volume of each to 25% what it was, to prevent it being amplified four times.
Unfortunately it's a bug that comes with Steam Half-Life. It might be possible to fix, but you'd be looking at coding.
Yup, here's your issue
'Texture axis perpindicular to face'As Penguinboy said, use Alt+P to pull up the problems window, then highlight any of those error messages and click "Fix all of type"
Why don't people just work within Goldsources limitations anymore? If they aren't satisfactory, move onto Source.
It's like all those mods that add dynamic lighting, physics and HD effects. Why try to make Source when Source was a thing 12 years ago...

You should use game_text for maps for Half-Life, whereas you can make use of env_message and titles.txt if your making a mod. This means you can make small tweaks if you made a typo, without needing to recompile any maps. 
"All Clients" flag should only be required in multiplayer maps. I've never used it and not encountered any crashes.
The only time I did get a crash caused by an env_message was when I was actually entering the message text into the "message" field, which was too long. This was before I learned to use the codes from titles.txt
Derp...

One way to do that is to make them in the same way you would a transparent texture. With a solid background color that becomes transparent in game.
Heh, I commented on this last night. Didn't realise it was your mod.
Moved to HL Engine Discussion
You'd just have to save the track as a wav file, using Audacity or a similar program. This would only really work if it's music coming from a stereo or something, since ambient_generic is not meant for background music.
If you're talking about background music heard throughout the map, Dr.Orange has you covered.

Yeah, just use what you like. As long as no textures have the same name they can all be crammed into one .wad file anyway.
If you're only using a few from OpFor or BluSh then just copy them and stick them in a new .wad.

You should have a flag to "Gag" the scientists. That should stop them engaging in idle chatter and will only speak when triggered to do so.
Yeah, if you were using a new install of Hammer, the halflife.fgd would have been the standard one that comes with Hammer (aka. the one without model support)
You must have been using an updated FGD on the laptop.

All the files are in there now by default anyway. I think one of the updates did it. Still, worth checking
Apart from a very unusual directory set up (which may be the cause... I don't know), I see no issues.
But seriously, who installs to the desktop folder!? I have all my HL modding tools in the HL directory. Makes setup and file searching so much faster. :rly:

I'm loving the new career style game mode in Exanima. It's a really cool game if you're into medieval era stuff, with a little fantasy, a heavy emphasis on physics and an utterly unforgiving permadeath system. You can easily lose all your progress in a second if the enemy gets a lucky hit.
I've started a new series where I make myself and the SnC guys into a fighter's guild.

Make sure all your settings are correct when setting your half-life directory and mod directory in Hammer, so it knows where to look for them.
Yeah, just alt+p and fix the problems.
The issue is, the last time I looked into animation was while working on The Core, and the grunt model we use has fingers and eyeballs that all need to be animated...
Honestly I figured the time was better spent elsewhere in order to get the mod released in a reasonable amount of time-AH-HAHA WAT!?

That is the one thing that stopped me trying to animate anything in Goldsource.
... Just trigger the sprite again after five seconds? It should toggle.
Exactly! Christ, we've got a mod to work on.
Incidentally, if the complete lack of updates on TWHL or Bi-Monthly updates on MoDDB aren't enough, we sometimes do a twitter, or something
UPDATES
We're getting some more attention lately. We won RTSL's Most Anticipated mod, beating Prospekt in the final head to head round (by a considerable margin I might add)

This has also earned us a mention on Valve News Network, with Tyler stating that he will cover the mod in more detail soon.And the winner is The Core.
Was there any doubt? This is probably going to win next year too.
“No, don’t talk like that Phillip, by then it will have been released!” Let’s hope the mod keeps being updated and it gets released this year.
^ Hey Archie. Do this ^
IGNORE ME - I AM A MORON. I'll leave the below there for my own sake, but I can now see the option in textures window to set right click to apply texture AND VALUES. Derp derp derp.
I remembered the texture issue I mentioned the other night in team speak. It's to do with right click texture application.
In hammer 3.5, when you select a textured face, you can then right click on another face to quickly apply the same texture, along with scaling and positioning.
It works a little differently in sledge if I recall.

w_camera.mdl
w_portablemed.mdl + w_portablemedt.mdl
null.mdl
Spirit also comes with a prop model (sink.mdl) and a replacement for the mp5 view models (v_9mmar.mdl) but these aren't needed

I had the same issue with the Apache in TWHL Tower and wrote it off as a spirit bug, but I guess it might simply not work with the apache. Standard NPCs should all work though, as far as I am aware.
Congratz on the upcoming release. It's good to see Sven Coop is still hugely popular.
Just a heads up. Your base mod is missing some essential models used by spirit.
It's a bunch of entities that will need to be triggered so you need the following entities.
monster_whatever (the NPC)
multimanager (to trigger each of the below entities)
env_fade (fade to black)
env_message (to show the endgame text)
player_loadsaved (to load the last saved game)
Set the npc to target the multimanager, with the trigger condition set to "Death" (basically when the npc dies, it triggers the multimanager)
Set the multimanager to trigger the env_fade immediatly and the env_message after one second. Then, have it trigger the player_loadsaved after a few more seconds. (Not too long because essential NPCs dying is really annoying and you don't want the player waiting for ages for their game to reload)

Hnnng... I really want in on this. 
I think this might need to be an SnC go to for a week or two (in between the race seasons and terrorist clear outs)
Well, alrighty then. Good luck with it
Did you try reading the thread? Archie explained it all in the second post...
Squad functionality is pretty simple. Use the squad field to set a name. Any grunts who share a squad name will be alerted if one of them spots the player. You can also set a flag for a squad leader (the guy with the beret) but I'm not sure if this alters their behaviour at all.
Houndeyes also use the squad system and it makes a huge difference to their effectiveness

We'd show you more, but we'd have to kill you. That would be a massive inconvenience for us.
