Wow, all these bell and whistles.
...Can it compile RMF and VMFs yet?

Cool.
SP please!

I don't think I used that one...
In Jeff's first room, the toilet and sink emit light. Is this an error or just Jeff's idea?This is what happens when people use textures as lights that others use as porcelain.
Is there any chance that you could find another plain whitish texture?
Looks great! If I had L4D, I'd be sure to download it.
Okay, thanks. 
EDIT: That should fix everything but the door, thanks.

I'll try that later, thanks. But won't that make them act odd when you shine the flashlight on them?
Sure, just lemme open hammer up and upload the shots.
EDIT:
Without smartedit so you can see all the values.
I noticed a value called noshadows on the window prefabs, and that might be the problem with them, but I can't think of anything that would make the doors do that.
EDIT: changing the noshadows value does nothing. I've made the skybox in that area taller, so maybe there will be more light there. I dunno.

I should probably get to work on mine. And I will, once I get the final compile for my coast map done.
What do you guys think of a dam?

No, I only get that in that area, not on other props elsewhere.
It's odd, it's like they're in a fullbright map.

I have cubemaps, and I've added more since I noticed the problem, thinking that may have been it. The light_env is angled to the leftmost cliff wall in the screenshot- I've used values that are 'ideal' for the skybox I'm using.
Tips, anyone?
You can post links to your maps in the vault.
So, what, Playing HL and meeting us was greif?
Hmm... This does not bode well for the next generation of aussies who leave to go somewhere else.
Then just make sure it CAN compile on someone else's computer, and then submit the VMF.
Yeah, a time limit isn't a good idea for a mod. A compo, yes, but not a mod.
EDIT: And if I wanted to stretch the definition of a room, could I?

Yeah, OB. I'll have to compile mine in HL2, but It'll give me a chance to do HDR stuff.
I guess I should go and buy OB sometime, though.

Sure, why not.
Yeah, move the door to world, clip it in half, use null/bevel on the inside faces that you don't see, and make both brushes the same entity.
and jeff will punch ur girlfriend/mamaWait, what? I neither play MMOs nor hate the people who do. I just have nothing to do with them.
You know what else is amazing?You die once, and then your playing starts going downhill from there, as you get happier, and happier, and eventually get banned from the server for yelling insults then you get mad...
Playing TF2 and everytime you die, take a shot of liqueur.
Instead of asking for help with errors you get from making a map badly (no offense) you could read the 'In the beginning' tutorials and learn how to map well from the beginning.
Also, if you're not using ZHLT and it's tool wad file, you may want that.

Don't abandon abandon it, just... shelf it. As Gabe Newell once said
There's a lot of value in refinement.It's true.

Come on, you guys did a great job. You just... never finished it.

There are no HD models, but there is HD mapping.
Don't replace models, either. The barney has custom reload animation properties.

Don't you belong to the BM forums too?
Anyway, it's next to your name, not your avatar. I got editblocked by you, which is the downside of TWHL's system.

I still use WON HL. Haven't been online with steam to validate the GCF, so I can't play steam HL yet. 
Re-rotate them. If you did it by hand, they may be 89 or 91 degrees or some such.
Still human, just parts of one.

I have a hint brush not included in the cordon compiles, and 4 instances of the pwindow_01_med prefab. I'm not sure what's causing this, but if it's the prefabs, it can be fixed easily.
Can anyone tell me what the error means outside of the literal sense and how to fix it?
EDIT: I fixed it.
Note to anyone getting this error: Look for areaportals on multiple sides of an area; My problem was that I had 2 sets of windows, and the portals were on both the front wall and the one beside it, which made the engine stop working.
If you use Valve's window prefabs, make sure they're only on one wall in a visgroup, or delete the func_illusionaries and areaportals.
What is the sound of -4 hands clapping?
EDIT: Oh, haha, it's already fixed. In that case, put in an info_playerstart in one of the spawn areas, and info_player_deathmatch spawns there and in all the other spawn areas. Make sure to use the fgd from your TS directory when you start working on your RP map. Good luck.
This seems to say that the game/mod can't find the dll (which you need to have to run it)
Try reinstalling the game/mod, but first look for a dll file in the modname/cl_dlls and modname/dlls folders. If it's there, the mod is either incompatible with WON/steam HL (whichever you're using, Steam HL doesn't usually have problems with it, though) or it's corrupt and has to be reinstalled.
could not find file system dll to loadCan you play HL/the mod you are mapping for? (presumably TS)

I don't see what this has to do with parents teaching their children to believe in god. I hope you're not implying that just because science can't explain what caused the Big Bang there has to be a god, because that's just ignorant. Not knowing something does not automatically mean there is some higher power at work.
Hence I personally believe in God. If science can find out what caused the big bang, fine. But then what caused that? We'll find out the answers in time (assuming we don't all kill each other before that) But unless you can definitvely prove to me, without a doubt, that there isn't a God, I'll still beleive, because there has to be something out there that caused everything to be set in motion, and I'd like to think that it's a benicifent inteligence.Religious people should stop and really think about why they believe in God.Because some force had to create the universe, and what/who caused that force to begin?
If the big bang theory is correct, what caused it?
I have no idea how it's selling, because the publisher keeps that a secret, even to the author.Don't you get royalties from every book sold?
Aren't you supposed to get royalties?
Those are well written. I can see why they got published.
I've never gotten a thing published in a magazine, possibly only because I've never actually written in. I seem to have the habbit of thinking things to write about on issues that are already months, if not years, old.
In regard to the X article on last year's issue 312,...

As for Jesus being "evil", I think that if he were to return today, he'd probably be shocked to see how Chistianity has evolved. And not in a good way.Yes, he'd probably go to the nearest synagogue and pray his heart out.

I got a touque, a new shaver, and a promise to give up to $250 for my computer from my parents.
Small puzzles, some cash, and a couple gift cards from my relatives. And my brother helped pick out a mobo, graphics card, RAM sticks, and a CPU for the computer.

Some people just don't know what the bible says when it says "love thy neighbour"
It's sad that people would do something like that.
Another good reason for me to have left church for good, however.

The intolerance and militancy of the tone made me cringe.Don't worry. These people aren't real christians, they're the Al-Queda of Christanity.

Try basing it off the closest NPC type you can find already coded.
Then just remove parts you don't want, add parts from other NPCs, ect.
I can't really tell you what to do in the way of actual code, though, because I have no experience either.
That's all I can really contriubute. Sorry.
EDIT: It may also be worth noting that Cubbage from the NLO base was just a citizen with a unique model, type set to unique, and a different voice set than the others.

just getting the code for a new character up and running using a model such as the City 17 Citizen as a placeholderIf it's a companion character, use Alyx as a base. If it's more of a combat character, use barney. If it's a dialouge character, use Kleiner, Eli, Mossman or Breen. If it's an NPC instead of a main/minor character, use whatever is closest in behaviour and force.

One thing, however:
there is always an underscore between the item name and it's world, player, or view model designation (w, p, v, respectively) because that's the system valve used, and
w9mmarclipt.mdlshould be w_9mmarclipt
there is always an underscore between the item name and it's world, player, or view model designation (w, p, v, respectively) because that's the system valve used, and
the filesnames should be the same as the original, or else HL won't recognise your new weapon as a replacement.You may want to put that in the feedback section for where you downloaded the skin.
What if one of us dies? Who will let other twhlites know.Someday I might make a text file entitled "In the event of my death" and put it in my documents with directions on how to post a journal here and what to say.
So when someone's cleaning out my computer I'll be able to say goodbye from beyond the grave
I just heard that Brittany Murphy died at the age of 32 from natural causes.I was thinking something similar to that last night when I saw it on the news. People don't just usually go into cardiac arrest and die.
Yeah right. And Michael Jackson wasn't a pedophile, and the Pope isn't Catholic.
