in Button Texture Prob Post #157364

No Bevel texture description in there!

Edit:

I found two descriptions to the Bevel texture:

Rabid's description: It acts as NULL but doesn't expand when generating clip hulls, if I remember correctly. Not a commonly used texture there.

hazardous!'s description: Ever notice those 'Sticky Edges'? Those appear, because of a crappy algorithm for the clipping-hull-generation. XP-Cagey, the quy who also fixed it, wrote an article about the problem and added the Texture, so you can get rid of those edges yourself.

Ooo.. Then I can't wait!

Your Challenge map was fun, urbanebula. I'd love to help, but I worn you I have some things you should know on me. I'm lazy and I wont start untill I'll finish my DM map.

I like opfor, never mapped for it! How do I create stuff that the barrnicle can hang on to them?

Check if there is pair of this texture with only the +0 and +A, Usally there is. Textures with +1/+2...ect flicker.

I know but I tested it and he can climb 17(maybe 19...) units high step, it's just annoying to use the 1 grid size to do it.

But they do have a master value.

Neat! When the area will be flooded I'll enable the spawning points in the main room so people in the rooms will have to fight against players from the sewers and the chamber. When the slime passes the spawning point the spawning point will be disabled! Thanks darkphoenix_68.

But now how about those buttons?

(the longer delay isn't a good idea, the buttons don't have to be pressed all in the same time)

Yes,ignore the second question, you can enter the sewers through the other rooms too only through a long ladder. My problem is the first one, how can I make the buttons reset a few minutes after/right after the flooding seaquace and not before?

in stairs Post #157137

I know, the players can climb stairs in the hight of 17 units while monsters need them to be in the size I mentioned before.

P.S: The maximum hight for monsters is 16 units... maybe 17 but I remember the player can climb higher then them.

in Grating Post #157132

Well I gess I wont change the grating, I will keep it solid and not from many parts.

I got another question. This map is going to be abit like crossfire, in each of those rooms(like the one you see in the screeni) there is a button, when all the buttons are pressed they will activate a multisource that will cause acid to flood all the rooms but those 6 reletivly small rooms(2 are bigger and two of their parts are connected by long staircases). How can I make the buttons only reset a few minutes after the flooding is over?

Also I have another problem. Where should I place the spawning points. It can't be in the rooms.(If people will die when they try to reach the rooms to escape the acid they will spawn in the rooms and they will be saved) The main room is really dangerous, but I'm still not sure if I should or should not. The only place that is perfect to place them is in the sewer tunnel that surrounds the whole chamber, but the only exit from it is from the lower two rooms. That meens that after killing a few players that are left in the main chamber, you wont have to fight any more...

BTW: The question about the buttons is more important for,maybe, I can place a ladder/elevator somewhere... :

Edit:
Thanks you convinced me it will be better as func_walls.

The stairs hight must be two time smaller then the width. Examples: 32x16/16x8/8x4

On the other hand the players may waste a few grenades and then learn but it would be really fun if you can be attacked from all directions... This is so hard to decide!

Kasperg: That room already has 1200 wpolies I don't want it to jump to 3000 wpolies.

They just determine where to place some clipnode. So whats more important? The sounds or being attacked from all directions?

Edit:

i don`t like the idea of stuff passing a grate. eg a grenade. which would be stupid

Dohh, didn't think of it... Don't grenades pass through func_walls too, I know that gun shells do.

in Grating Post #157103

In my Dm map's main room there are three platforms made out of transperent grate. If it will be a func_wall you will hear a special sound when you walk on it but bullets wont pass through it. To make the bullets pass through it I need to turn it into a func_illusionary and place a clip brush over it, bullets will pass through it, but then I'll lose the nice sounds when you walk/jump on it.

Is there any other way to make bullets pass through through grating?

If not then what do you think is more important, those nice little background sound additions of the fact that you can be attacked from any possible direction?

When you make a map create all objects with the null texture only then texture the visible bits... It's harder null it later, and it will take more time.

Thats a really silly reason, slightly insane. If you just want to make a torture map so you can kill the Gman then just use the multiplayer model, it dies so it's perfect, the lack of AI doesn't matter.

You don't need to make a whole minimod for such a map.

I gess you want the scientist to have a black suit... it wont look so good with the gman's skin. Try just changing the color of the suit and closing it with photoshop/paint shop, can be easly done with these programs.

Just remember to make a minimod out of it... most people wont like it if your model overwrite their and in hl1 the scientists have black suits. :
