If the model is located in the models folder, try models/pi_tree3.mdl
It's the whole path name not just the model name.

Everything work ok?
Tommy 14 is your friend
Often because the cycler entity, cyler sprite or some other entity used has the wrong path/name. You must use the perfect path/name, with the right capitals - or it will stop the game.Simply enough, just quadruple-check your pathnames
Each button has what is called a "master"
Until that master is activated, a button cannot be triggered.
You can make trigger_relays be the master for each button.
So have a button trigger a multi_manager to trigger those relays off when you don't want the other buttons to be active.
In any other case, however, those relays should be triggered on to have the buttons be active.

Are the trees models? How are they placed in the map?
Is it windows 7? Try removing all the extra sound effects they force through the sound drivers.
Also try reducing the sound quality to see if that fixes anything.
If it does, you need a new soundcard, bro

Cloud Atlas was an outstanding movie.
I can definitely say that the future with the waitresses and the boat made me cringe. I was honestly shocked when i watched that part.
Aside from that, the movie is excellent.

If I'm working on a small project, I'll create a new version every hour or so. I'll name it Map_01, map_02 etc etc.
If its a larger project i'll create a new version for each day i'm working in it - having the date in the filename.
map_3-14-13, map_3-15-13, etc etc.
I got into this practice at work and boy is it handy.
I also store all my temp files in dropbox so they update everytime a new version is created.
I started dropboxing things because i'm always bouncing between computers and having everything in the same place across all my computers is incredibly handy.
@PenguinBoy - I'm afraid of new software

You can create a particle effect using HL2's Particle editor, Import it into the game with a info_particlesystem entity, Trigger it on with a button, and after a few seconds, kill the fire entity.
Gimme a few while i dig up examples on how to do each.. I know there's a particle tutorial floating around TWHL somewhere.

That should be everything you need to create the particle system and import it into the map.
Now are you versed with the Input/Output system? If you're not doing the other triggers can be tricky. Lemme know

When you find it, you can either fix it straight from the error log, or you can align the texture "to world" or "to face" from the texture application menu.
If you HAVE vertex-manipulated the brush, make sure you don't have anything like this going on :
Because that's 2 faces on one plane and hammer doesn't like that very much.
It also might result from vertex manipulating a cube into a wedge and not merging the vertices when they're overlapping.

brushwork func_detail it.
Highten the lightmap scale as well.
I hate to see you re-create these things for a third time but rufee and Bruce are probably correct

yeahhhh i think no matter what you do it's going to be odd. Unless you use a model and it animates, with no collision, with a clip brush hidden inside it
Yeah i'd actually recommend TJB's method if the vertical discrepancy is less than about 10 units.
you should be able to make those func_doors, or if you want to go the fancier route, trains.
As for the transparency, set the render mode to texture and modify the fx value.

Peoples of TWHL! I would like to get back into the world of programming micro processors. The only thing is, I don't know where to start... I tried getting the TI launch pad but I honestly don't know where to begin because with that because it's just the chip. I'm looking to read digital and analog inputs, control digital and analog outputs, and possibly communicate on an RS-232 network.
Can an arduino do all this?
Are they easy to get into?

Hey TWHL!
The Compo is over but my mapping senses are tingling and I want to create!
Would anyone like to team up and create a map pack with a short, but sweet storyline?
I'm thinking maybe 3-4 maps.
I'm open to any takers and storyline ideas.
I would prefer the source engine, but HL1 is also fun!

yeah and what's up with the front of it? it kinds looks... unnatural.
Granted, it's man made, but it looks like the front of it just sticks out awkardly

A player can enter a solid? It's that what is happening when you can't walk properly on odd terrain?
I seem to have double clicked
22K should be fine so long as the track is very bassy.
its only when your frequencies approach the 10Khz range that the nyquist rule comes into play and starts to distort the high range
But you could always ship your mod on a CD and actually put audio on it.
Then it'll play music

here's a before and after...
Tremplar, that ship looks like something from the Blizzard universe. I like it a lot!!!
TJB that log looks sweet. Do you use Photoshop?
I usually use Paint.net.. but i hear GIMP is pretty decent.. Suggestions?
The map that isnt going to be finished in time for the compo.
Nor do i have enough time for custom textures yippee

Honestly, engine wise, it doesn't make a difference. Like previously mentioned, you would end up with the same amount of faces whether it was one brush or two brushes. I suppose it'd be easier to handle one brush while mapping, but it be safer to manipulate two brushes so you're not at risk of throwing an invalid brush error.
As for nulling the unseen faces, that doesn't matter either (in my opinion) unless you think they might possibly be seen. If this was going to be a walkable section, you might want to bevel everything except the top faces.
I don't know exactly what bevel does, its been too long since i've used it. But i do remember people saying it was good.
I think i came to the same conclusion as well.. but again.. i don't remember.

Rim, i wholeheartedly agree on the OOT ones. <3

We all had plenty of time IMO. I dont like the idea of extending compos even if i dont have time to finish.
well i mean.. i could find time to FINISH it but it wouldnt be polished at all as i planned on making a full custom texture set. I'll see what i can do. No promises
I have to withdraw.
There's no way i can finish with my current work load. I'll post the unfinished vmf in the vault if anyone cares to take a look.

Honestly, i learned displacements from experience, just keep playing with them!
Its not unlike VM terrain, but you can only pick one axis at a time
Backup this is pretty neat dude, great work!
WIP for sure
They're both autodesk products I would HOPE all that would translate smoothly. From what I remember the SMD plugin for MAX works nicely.
I've only created a few models but they worked!

Btw it took my computer 9 minutes to subdivide my map. FUN!

That looks incredible! I love the White trim on the arches.

i still havent opened hammer yet.
my story isnt finished
and i might be writing a book so... i might have to drop out to focus on that
i really hope i have time to compete. still 60 days left though.

I have a house ive made a while ago. i'll tidy it up and ship it out.
The textures are stock, but im short on time due to finals and RL.
Feel free to slap any siding or wood texture you want onto the house.

I only map for compos.
I set my goals very high, and although i never reach them, i never stop trying to reach them.
Compos are fantastic practice!
