Oh, crap. The folder in my entry's zip clearly says HL2, but I forgot a readme. Do I need to reenter? And if so, will that override my previous entry?
You'll want to keep your eyes open for any odd behave once you think your PC is clean, though. Just because it seems it's gone doesn't mean it is, unfortunately.
Good luck.
Good luck.
thanks manGlad to be of assistance and helpful enthusiasm.
You can find skins for Scientist Arms here, in the view hands download, inside the barney source somewhere. They fit perfectly on Ambient.Impact's HD Barney arms, so if you can find those on the default HD arms (I think the Svencoop section of FPSBanana has them) you can reskin them easily with the model viewer. As for the labcoat w_ model, you could try using milkshape 3D to decompile an HD scientist model (or use Ambient.Impact's scientist source files, also on the above site) delete the pants, hands etc, and flatten it using the scaling tools, but I dunno how well that would work out.
Good luck on your mod, look forward to seeing media!

No, you must map until your 80s. Or for 80 years. Whichever comes last.
Crollo: http://www.goannasvencoop.com/sphinx/FTP/mods/spirit_of_half-life/ Though I recomment 1.5a4, 1.8 has sparks in random places that I'm starting to think is whenever and entity is triggered. Even when developer is set to 0.
Rim: Maybe in effects/ or sprites/.
Kraken: Looks nice.
Skals: Source can handle more than shooters, it just isn't used for it often. Examples I can think of are Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines, (I Believe that's the one in the series that uses source) and Alien swarm.

Well, at least we're here, and we're not going anywhere. And we do have an archive of the VERC tutorials...
We need to get some Source tuts in here, though, or we'll be obsolete soon...

As I've already said, my entry is in, and it's... a short, small map that's fairly decent. Well, I seem to think it is, anyway.
No gameplay, but it has... well... you'll see once the compo is closed, because I'll post it in the vault.

Yeah, it's harmless, though sometimes you get dust clouds, twitching (ragdolls) or bumping noises out of nowhere.
Yeah, but it looks awesome-er from that angle.
Really? You must give me their number, they know how to make professional photos so natural they don't look like professional photos! That takes skill!
Way to go, Rimrook. You made something awesome. Again.

I don't think he's using point lights, I think he's using texture lights, which are much better for illumination, if harder to make from scratch (ie. making a new material)
Looks good.
Looks good.
Well, I'm nearly done, but the climax is a lot less... climactic then I'd like. I don't suppose anyone knows how to get gestures to work properly with a scripted sequence, huh?
On the bright side, I'm getting good results with lightmaps in one area of the map.
EDIT: Mine is finished, and by my current standards, it's a doozy. Custom materials, lightmap scale of 1 in certain places, and HDR. None of which I've done before.

They are gentlemen.
Also I think any further CS talk, however interesting, should go in another thread.

Looks good. Now texture and rig it!
And as such are used by 90% of players on public servers. More or less 100% of the time. 
This is why CS gets a bad rap; the players are usually cheap twits.
This is why CS gets a bad rap; the players are usually cheap twits.It's slow, weak, has a small clip, and is expensive.Yeah, that's why I never use it either. In games at least, it's underpowered.
Ah, I should have known.
You need to clip the holes in the wall in such a way that everything's on grid without losing it's shape. So each wall section with a window in it needs to be made of 4 brushes plus the window; 2 vertical sides, a top of the window area and the bottom of the window area, plus the window itself. If you want the window on a slant as well, that'd be harder.
Unbreakable: Yeah, I though it was supposed to be, Like I said, I dunno about poly counts for characters. Maybe if you added ridges and a barrel to the cannons?
TJB: Looks great as well. I'd hazard a guess that it's an Mp5K, but after some research, I'm not ready to guess if it is anymore.

Looks good. Perhaps some minor scratches, and less pure black areas on the chest and wrist. Can't wait to see it finished.
One thing, I thought this model was supposed to be low-poly- now, I don't exactly follow poly counts in modern gaming, but isn't 1930 polies a bit... high?

Follow your Joebama!Perhaps I will.
Hello, JeffMOD!Hey.
Remake De_aztec with a few obvious changes.
Ew, no. Mac and cheese.
Yay, is it that destructible environment idea hotdog was working on?
Mac and.
No problem - I just hope the info is accurate enough for what you're doing.
I believe it has it's own bone.
Just to show the model in full;
The animations for screwing the silencer on and off are just that, animations.
The silencer is a submodel, that if called by code (as it would have been at the start of the 'on' animation and the end of the 'off' animation in the HL beta when it was used) is made visible. You'd need code to make it functional, but any custom model using the silencer's animations and submodel setup should work properly.
EDIT: On further inspection, it has only the one animation (which must have been played backwards for taking it off) and the silencer is just part of the bone used on the barrel of the gun. I must have been thinking of the CS Glock.

I think you need to use either a batch compiler or the advanced compiler in Hammer, because you should be using -final for RAD if you want to make the lighting better than it usually is ingame.
Well, as long as you remember how it works. That system was pure gold, even more so than the rest of the demo/mod, which was already the Goldsource equivalent to Black Mesa as far as quality went.
I first played Pokemon Blue when I was about six. My favorite starter (and indeed, my only starter) for blue has always been Squirtle, and the same goes for Leafgreen. In Silver I chose Cyndiquill, and in Diamond (see the gap?) I chose... One of the new ones. I can't seem to remember which.

Even the music system... Which sucks because i wanted to use it again....I wanted you to use it again too...
Try Pak0. If not, then something's messed up.
Lost...how?
Lost as in you can't find it, or lost as in gone?
And please tell me you had a backup of the awesome music system somewhere.

You seem to have the same problem solving pattern as I do; Get stuck, ask for help, figure it out on your own shortly after asking for help.
It should be- I can't see why Valve would dropsupport for something.
Okay, more info required; is Theroses a tribal planet, a high-tech planet, or does it resemble X era from earth?

Im 14, so this is like, years away.All you'd need is a bik or avi that tells a short prologue to the mod's story, and then add it to the list of startup videos. Hell, you could probably use the flash version to make it if you wanted to.
Maybe the ship gets struck by a meteorite? Oh, I know- before you get out of the ship, maybe have the artificial gravity cut out partially- so the gravity is lower. Depending on the style of the ship, you could make sure the player gets through doors by clever use of clip brushes to guide them through the doorways. Of course, this would only work for submarine-sized or larger ships, and not jet fighter/X-wing sized ships. I've also always wanted a mod to do a (skippable, of course) intro sequence before the main menu loads using the media system that loads Valve.avi/bik - newer versions of the engine support multiple avi/bik files through a text file, but that's just me.
What kind of ship is it? Sea, Space, or Air?
Use the check for problems function- you probably have invalid solids caused by clipping, carving or VM'ing the brushes in a way the compile tools and engine can't handle. It happens. The fix option in Check for problems usually fixes it, but can compromise the shape of the brush. Make sure all your geometry is on grid and can be make out of triangles and you shouldn't get this error often.
...But it's for a mod that's already been released, so unless you deleted it the maps folder should be there.
Your dream idea is that long? I only have one map!!!
It has to run in the game you're using (Which can be Half-Life 1, Half-Life 1 Deathmatch, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 Deathmatch, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, Half-Life 2: episode 2, Counter-Strike Source, Team-Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, or Portal) But NPCs aren't a must if you don't want to use them.
I figured it out; The alpha had to be an internal one (the $selfillummask function didn't work) And the TGA had to be save without RLE compression to keep the alpha intact. The tint seemed to be hurting it as well.
I've got selfillum and an alpha mask to work (finally) so the frame doesn't glow, but 95% of the actual lit up part is white, when the texture is green.
Tet: I could do that, but it really bothers me when I leave a part of a map unfinished- that and it looks like crap as it is now.

Bah. My entry might have just died because I can't seem to get a self illuminating texture.
