Think small, halflife uses an engine over 5 years old and most of your 'grand ideas' will have to wait till halflife 2 or be moved to something more scalable.
Whats new is generally good. Learn to texture for yourself, a new coat of paint can give life to a dull map. A FRESH (custom textures) coat of paint can put your map above those that use whats included with the mod you're mapping for or the standard halflife.

no but he should be
It doesnt matter how thick a wall is, the bullet always travels through if its in the same vis area. You have to double wall as mentioned above, if the null texture is put in the middle noone will notice either.

The Simpsons seems to go on forever, and makes about as much sense as that Futurama quote these days. Although it will only end when the voice actors are LYNCHED BY A LARGE MOB FOR NOT LETTING THE SERIES DIE WHEN IT WAS GOOD.
I think someones an idiot who thinks that the SQL/OQL this database uses has an unsigned 10bit datatype
me, the planes reducer is useful, but he really should rewrite CSG with a bigger data value than unsigned 16bit, you can only reduce planes AFTER csg which has a limit of 65535
slackbladder more like!
but you're too young to have an opinion, in my opinion
i'm sick of you masterofmuppets, does that count?
This post was made on a thread that has been deleted.
I miss the picture of you that stops me from taking your posts seriously
nah its still 1000 according to the forum, atom probably didn't expect there to be more than 1000 posts and so somehow created a 9 6/7ths of a bit data type
It feels crap because if you are pure light or dark you're stuck with 2 useless force powers.

I am at primary school, they have set a time period in which we just busy ourselves while the teacher looks at porn on his laptop
I have chosen to bring my parents laptop in and map during this time period, while everyone in the class stares at me for being such a flamboyant geek
I am proud of this for some reason

There really should a forum rule for decompiling under these circumstances.
If you really REALLY need to see the maps then ask the respective authors and they might email you back some snippets.
Although as CS is now a retail game this is unlikely.

I think what he means is will hammer ever incorporate a formal scripting language. There was an attempt with this a while back, but it tended to be a bit buggy and unpredictable, plus it was slower than using entities anyway!
and anything I post that happens to be slightly out of relish context cucumber
you moved the map vault to a forum post? impressive
can I call myself a nerd on the edge of the epitomy of geek?
When I finished Jedi Academy (the first time, where I didn't speed run the whole thing in 5 hours) I ended up with
Jedi powers:
-Force Absorb 3
-Force Heal 3
-Force Protection 3
Dark Jedi powers:
-Force Grip 3
-Force Lightning 3
hmm, something seems familiar..
Although it all boils down to the fact that for the other force powers -
force rage is rubbish
mind trick is SO USEFUL YEAH
and its a weigh up between force drain and lightning, both of which are useless and don't seem to harm anything.
Jedi Academy, 'you can choose between the light/dark side!!1', when you come to a point in the game where it basically just says 'If YOU WANT TO BE DARK SIDE PRESS YES, ELSE YOU BE LIGHT SIDE OK/CANCEL/APPLY'

my normal rad string is:
hlrad.exe -bounce 0 -chop 128 -lights "somerad.rad" -chart -estimate "mapname.map"
My full rad string is (for a full compile of a large map):
hlrad.exe -sparse -bounce 4 -chop 64 -coring 0.2 -smooth 80 -lights "somerad.rad" -chart -estimate -extra "mapname.map"
If you want an explanation, I put up what most of the switches mean here

lol, did one of your buffers overrun and just start garbling out whatever was in memory at the time?
given that csg missed out a bunch of textures and a bunch of textures were invalid, it's safe to say theres still no proof and i am right
how is it a bad surface extents??
Teaver please READ the compile log before just spamming it up here for us to deal with, 'too many wadfiles' is a dead giveaway for the problem ffs!
The invalid texture size means one of the wads has a texture that either isn't a multiple of 16 or is bigger than 256x256 (if the width x height is bigger than 65536)

sorry, thats just me before i go out on a raid, was a good night, we nicked 3 mota's and I got my hands on some blings
don't use hammer to compile! It's more trouble than its worth and it's little dos window won't display values correctly.
get HLCC1.4, the simplest batch compiler to use thats out there. Theres a few missing options for anything added to zoner within the last year or so, but these can easily be added manually.
For a normal RAD, use - bounce 0 and don't bother with sparse, if you don't NEED sparse (meaning you don't get MAX_MAP_PATCHES without it) then don't use it! It just lengthens the compile time. - chop 128 also decreases lighting time further for non-important compiles, it just makes the lighting a lot less accurate.
-extra increases the RAD time by a factor of FOUR as it increases the accuracy of it's lighting matrix, for a normal RAD, forget it!
my normal rad string is:
hlrad.exe -bounce 0 -chop 128 -lights "somerad.rad" -chart -estimate "mapname.map"
The last 2 options (assuming you are using zoners tools! If not USE THEM), chart and estimate, will allieviate your problem of RAD seeming 'stuck'. -estimate will show a much more accurate analysis of what RAD is doing, down to individual faces, so no more %age based nonsense.
Chart simply displays a detailed look at the compile, useful for debugging.
My full rad string is (for a full compile of a large map):
hlrad.exe -sparse -bounce 4 -chop 64 -coring 0.2 -smooth 80 -lights "somerad.rad" -chart -estimate -extra "mapname.map"
I try to get chop as low as possible (before the compile takes forever/the tools crash), don't worry about coring and smooth, they just give a better effect. I've used sparse here as all my final compiles end up needing it.
Hopefully my knowledge of compilers will help thee.

ok, the really easy to understand reason and fix for this
Hammer checks entities current keyvalues (the ones when 'smartedit' is off) against those in the loaded FGD.
If you've created a key that doesn't exist in the FGD, then it will flag it as having 'unused keyvalues'
Most common cause of this is by changing the entities angle with the compass, which adds in an 'angles' key to the entitiy with Z X Y coords.
To remove the problem from specific entities, open up the FGD and find an entity that already has an angles flag, copy it into the body of the problem entity and hammer will now shutup spamming that damn error.
If the entity doesn't need any form of starting angle information or some such, just uncheck smartedit, select the angles key and press delete, and stay away from that damned compass!
Never ever ever try to 'fix' the problem (using 'check for problems') as you'll find hammer tends to mess up everything.
Way back when NS used to be good, the original FGD was a mess, NO entities has proper angles flags in them and a lot of keys were undefined, which propogated this problem a lot. Took me ages but I edited every single entity in the FGD to remove the problem, thinking NS mappers would love me for the time and annoyance saved; and then I was banned from their forums and noone actually downloaded my fix. Lovely.
