Hotdog, we don't sell hotdogs on every corner.We do here in Charlotte!
Not even in new york city is there a dog-vender on every corner.
Holy hell, nice save by the founding fathers.
Unfortunately the Goldsrc engine doesn't support transparency on model textures. The best you can do is make something additive, as stated above, or you can use two seperate models and render the glass as "transparent" in Hammer.
We must make haste!

You're going to have to lower the patches to under 65535. The easiest way to fix it would be to compile your map with "-sparse".
Another fix that might look better with complex lighting would be to start stretching textures. Textures under 64x64 produce more patches than a 64x64 face. Stretch smaller textures where you see fit, and you can bring patches down.
I didn't look at your .map, but if you aren't NULLing faces off, then you need to start. Hands down, that's the best way to reduce patches.

The mystery mapper is Kasperg, whom has come back to ask for forgiveness!
Heh, didn't realize your last post was a link until it was too late.
Well that's a damn shame. Farewell FileFront, you will be missed.
Anyway, on topic: If you don't want to register, Mega Upload might be the way to go. But seeing a free 250 megs + 6 gigs of bandwidth a month with Freehostia looks tempting.

Why is FileFront going down? That place was fantastic!
Splash screen idea:
4 windows, Hammer-style, but with blueprints in each window.
Edit: PM sent on some minor fixes to my room.

Highly unlikely, but you aren't BladeForum's DiscoStu, are you?
I imagine it would be the same as playing any online game as far as delay in reaction.Except not. Most online games have client-side controls that are sent to the main server after you've done something, so that, on your screen, something happens the instant you click or whatever. It doesn't actually register to everyone else until the main server gets it, but you still have more control over your own character.
If you're playing something like OnLive, you can't have these client-side controls because you're not actually playing your your client. You have to rely on whatever medium you're using to send your input to the host, and then it will respond and do whatever you tell it to do. Even with a good connection, the delay will be noticeable.
If you still don't know what I mean, open Counter Strike and type "cl_lw 0" and "cl_lc 0" in the console and join a game.
Edit: What OnLive boils down to is a glorified remote desktop. Don't get me wrong, I hope it turns out great.
Chernobyl only happened because of ignoring a completely obvious problem, not because it was old.
What I'm worried about the most is how well you would be able to control over OnLive. There's bound to be a delay between when you click and when your character does something. It's not something that can be made client-side like CS.
A lot of the reviews say there's no height or angle adjustment, and I don't trust the pictures because they have a tendancy to showcase the same model for different products.
Awesome, Satch! Nice find! Definitely picking this up.
Edit: Maybe not. Lack of adjusting turns me away.

IT'S JUST LIKE THE MOVIES! 
Well all this modern activities surely aren't beneficial to the nature.What the balls are you talking about "modern activies surely aren't beneficial". Everything "modern" that we have today has had a less efficient and more harmful predecessor. You want to talk about wasting resources and emitting harmful gases? Go back to the industrial revolution-- that was a polluted era. Would you really rather us go back something like that?
People are constantly finding ways to improve on what we have. These "modern activities" are hundreds of times more efficient than their predecessors; That's the whole point of developing them in the first place. The only alternative is to go back to riding horses. And buddy, sorry if I offend you, but fuck that.
Edit: Thought this was relevant.
Despite the irrational fear of nuclear power, it actually has the least environmental impact of any form of power generation. And it is fairly cheap as well.Honestly, I'd so much rather see the world go to nuclear power than fan fields. Me and nuclear power are like this
No , seriously now, I calculated my IQ and it's over 115.Sounds like you need to bone up on your math skills, Striker.
Also, an IQ score is even less reliable at determining how smart someone is than their GPA is at showing how well they did in school.
It's a bullshit average that doesn't take strengths or weaknesses into account, and doesn't factor in higher level or conceptual thinking.
I doubt anyone will tell me I'm wrong, 8:30 PM is at night.Not right now, thanks to daylight-saving time changes.
We're really just doing all the plants a favor, feeding them a buffet of CO2.
Go CO2!

Lots of AMXX plugins cause this too. It's something that the engine can do without extra coding, but I don't know how to get it ingame.
Why the hell is my hard drive always working if Hammer 4 is the active window?
Edit: Never mind, it stoped. 15 minutes of caching. Mod delete, please.

Well it should be done. Precompiled map, source, texlights file, and textures are all included. God I really wish I could finish a whole map with this style-- This is the 4th map I've tried this theme on.
Are we in Silent Hill yet?
Thanks for the tip.
Aye, it is; and it's really close to being done. Didn't get a chance at all to work on it Thursday or Friday, but I'm running a semi-final compile as I post this.

I found using zhlt lightflags like (opaque blocks light)causes some damn weird light glitches like this. Have you used and lightflags anywhere around thereThis might have fixed it. I had one func_wall blocking light for a mirror, nowhere near the screenshots above, mind you, but letting light pass through seems to have fixed it (as well as some other areas too).
The following screenshots are of two different places in the same map with identical geometry. The first one is the problem, and the second picture is how the first one should look.

Right:
These were both taken at the same time. The red lights are the only source of light. Any ideas on why one side isn't being lit?

i don't even know why you would pay attention to an "IE update" who the fuck uses IE besides stoopid people?About a 4th of TWHL.
The combine were god awful, but the editing was superb.
Edit: Counter Strike the TV show. Nothing to do with the game, though.

Slow day + somewhat complicated map made me sad that I couldn't release my room today.
Roughly 75% done with my map as is, with no compiles. I want to get it submitted tomorrow, but Wednesdays are 6 hour class days. If you're waiting on me, give me until the end of Thursday.

Sounds good. I'll try to get mine out the door tomorrow.
Does my room have to be related to the previous room, or just have a path to it and the next one?
Is this bitch still going? I might have something to constribute.
What topic?
40kb/s, Peng? That's seems awfully slow, even for a non-member. Without using my account, I get ~100kb/s.
Strange, but no complaints on this end.

And again, unless you have a premium or whatever the hell type of account, it will be deleted after a x amount of downloads\time without downloads
The important thing to know with rapidshare is that you have to create a free account, otherwise your file will be deleted after it has been downloaded 10 times.Tee hee.
I wouldn't ever recommend using Rapidshare for personal web storage, but for "obtaining", it's well worth the price.
NO! Rapidshit is the devil, use somthing like megaupload -_-Both Megaupload and Rapidshare have similar wait times if you aren't a member, and both have a limit of downloads per day for non-members. But Rapidshare currently hosts about over 9000% more public files than Megaupload, which makes Rapidshare the go-to site if you are looking for something. So what makes Rapidshare so much worse?
I must have one of those for my dorm.
Why does everyone have to drink everyone's milkshake now? You don't even have an oil well.

This should be pretty easy. It's a CS map.
Jesus people, it's Eclipse.
Well that's the idea. You made it sound like you couldn't tell which side was the triangle and which side was the null, so now it should be obvious.
Now it sounds like you just need to resmooth it, because when you invert faces, the triangles retain their prior smoothing and that causes them to be unlit. It's not broken, it's just how it works. Try face>smooth all and see if that does what you want.
