@habboi: lol!
Face Properties - Hide mask button: Makes it much easier to align textures--especially dark ones. Saves the eyes much misery!
Elon: You're right. I don't know what I was thinking!
Muzzie: I just tried your method and it works amzaingly well! Excellent!
I made a pool cue pro[, and noticed you could barely see the white plastic tip--at the small end. So I made the white part a textlight with a brigtness value of 1, and it improved the appearance/contrast nicely.
Also nice If you want to make a texture appear to "glow" like a glowstick, tritium watch hands, etc.

but the texture it self will be shinyThat can actually be useful in some situations.

Excellent Idea Kasperg!
Muzzie: That trick pwns!
One thing that really annoys me that I see all the time, is people not using Lip value on their sliding doors, so when they're open, you see the awful brush intersection.
My other tip off the top of my head would be to familiarize yourself with all the optioins for texturing under Face Properties. There are some powerful options in there to make any texturing job relatively easy. Two things I do all the time:
1. When texturing a many sided object, I get one side perfect, go down to the box where it says "lift and select" and change it to "apply all texture and values". In general, you can retexture many things quickly, with this method.
2. If your textuing something with the "treat as one" box checked, but it's not working, try hitting the "face" or "world" box, making them all the same.

@Seventh-Monkey: I won I won<Ralph Wiggum voice>!! You noticed not my bastardization of English In my previous post--incorrectly trying to denote plurals with the apostrophe on "thank you's", and I'm pretty sure the incorrect use of the semicolon, unless "which would be a great shame" is an independent clause :
I guess you're slowing down in your old age!

That's the best I was able to do using this tutorial--which is fine for low res sprays like the ones I use.
I'll try DecalConverter next as inventrex suggested, and see how they compare.
Edit: After DecalConverter:
Much nicer! DecalConverter FTW!
How to:
1. Downloadinstall DecalConverter.
2. Open "Roland" in DC and resize to 64?128.
3. Click on Decal menu and click "decal".
4. DC creates pldecal.wad's--so if your using steam, change the name to tempdecal.wad.
Also if you start out with a 24-bit bmp--instead of the jpg I used--, it will look better still.
People that annoy you: People that post images literally wider than two of their mother's fat ass cheeks.

This post was made on a thread that has been deleted.
Well at least it's compiling now... Do you have any insight on what the problem may have been, so it will be easier to diagnose this in the future?
Maybe just the reinstall did it, but it was more likely something with your paths--It's impossible to set the paths for the compile tools to an improper directory, but if you deleted/renamed the directory/moved them, it could be the cause...
And as far as your new error, I have no idea. I'll tell you though it's giving me flashbacks of Windows98!!
Soooo much easier and you can actually see the whole path when you look in hammer options...

But he will have to use SUBST everytime...No. If you read Seventh-Monkey's steam tutorial which also covers use of SUBST, you'll see he mentions using a batch file, so you only have to do it once

Sorries! I didn't notice the truncated filename!
Well, here's what my bsp looks like:
-Are you using Zoner's tools? "Zoner's" should be in your compile log. Use 3.2.1 not beta if you are.
-You could try unistalling hammer and starting over.
-In Sevneth's steam tutorail, he talks about creating a batch file to shorten your filenames, and makes it less confusing. I would do that too.
Well, here's what my bsp looks like:
Command line: C:PROGRA~1VALVEH~1toolshlbsp.exe "c:program filesvalve hammer editormapsbattlefront_turret"Notice your's is strangely different. And doesn't show the map name:

Why do you have your tools in the steam directory? Try moving them somewhere else--I use the Valve Hammer Editor directory and put them in the 'tools' folder. If for no other reason, the path is simpler.

I think you shouldn't be too lazy to just change the ticker to 'Forum' instead.It's not a matter of laziness, it's a matter of utility, assgoblin!
My default IS forums... errrMine always defaults to tuts... : Maybe it's a virus! NOES!
It changes to what page your onYes it does, but whenver I click the "big TWHL" or login, BAM!--Tutorials.
e_freak2001@hotmail.map"Why is it saying hotmail.map??? Post pics of your build programs and configuration dialogs. Actually we won't be able to see them becuase of the long pathnames...
I would rewrite all the paths and see if that fixes it.
OMG i beat my rubik's cube while that was loading.
Yup, that's exactly what it is. The only reason you're able to see it is 'cause you're noclipping/in the void. I decompiled to see how they started you in the train a while ago, and it's just that little room, with a bunch of point lights...
For the love of all that is evil, change that to a JPEG!!!!!!

<rowleybob sighs>
Actually yes, the information you require is here.
<rowleybob moans>
To your upper left under Site Stuff, you will find a link to tons of stuff, aptly called: Links.
If you were to click on that, you'd find--among many other things--The latest CS FGD needed for model support.
You would also find the link for Hammer 3.5, but I think you have that already.
The model support is buggy, but it works quite well.
Cheers.
@inventrex: v.8 is the latest

OOh I didn't know you were batch compiling! I have absolutely no knowledge on BCing, but does it compile the "normal" way?
I personally find myself hitting the backspace key to redo my search for Forums instead of Tutorials.
The tutorials are great, but imo the "forum" search is far more valuble/useful, and what most people will be checking i think--I mean how many people actually read tutorials ahead of time lolol?
So I think it would be better if the default was Forums.
What do you think?

Everything looks ok to me in your config and build programs--thanks for including them btw --, but are you sure your main path is correct?
Mine matches yours, except:
c:program filesvalvesteamsteamapps...
If that's not it, you might try the previous version of Zoner's. I assume your using Zoner's beta?

"For your information, 1702130524 solids were not loaded due to errors in the file."HOly shit! 'Usually see that when you open a decompiled map, but never 1702130524 of them!!!
It was not in the forum database, so I posted.O RLY? Here's one I found out of 4 pages of stuff about prefabs.
That textbox on the upper right of the page, just type in what you're looking for , choose forums and click the Go button.
If your asking these sort of questions, you should also read or browse all the Half-Life tutorials on this page. Those are on your upper left, under the Reference section.
We're not mad at you really, we're just sick of answering the same old questions all the time. I did the same thing when I was a beginner, but now you know!
So no posting questions before searching first k?
Welcome btw
...great old song though
Paul Mccartney CD I got for Christmas--Chaos And Creation In The Back-- which isn't completely horrible...
jaardsi: Check out this one. It pwns, especially the end...
I tried signing up/dling on Nectarine, but to no avail. Will try again later...

Agree with Unbrakable, I can't think of another way.
If you want, upload to problem maps so I can make sure I understand properly what you want.

Yeah and don't run it from hammer if your doing so.
If your compiling in "Normal" make sure the "Don't run the game" checkbox is checked.

Nice, creatively presented gifts haz!
Treats and large rawhide bones for my friends doggie, and mostly dvds or gift cards for everyone else.
I usually try to make creative/funny things for people, but not this year, nor the year before
"You think I'm a bitch? You should see my mother"LOLOL!

Lolol. It's like Microsoft Word for mapping! <rowleybob turns to vomit>
Elon: You should know by now Seventh-Monkey is a robot and only makes mistakes in very rare circumstances. And when he does, he usually has an excellent reason for being wrong.
I would recommend as a general rule, not challenging him on most stuff... especially spelling Jeez!
L and R aren't even close. Clear intentionality.LOLOLOL

The weapons will penetrate most walls, doesnt matter what thickness, to stop this you should split the brush in 2, it will only penetrate one brush.

There's loads of good music I would never be aware of if i didn't read this thread. (and lots of bad stuff too, like ZL's music lol)
That is fffing awsome!

In regard to my last comment, I apologize for my lack of clarity. Hopefully this will be more comprehensible:
I thought your screenies looked dark before, but now they look fine to me.
The pallets of cardboard goods stacked on top of each other without shelfs, is very unrealistic looking. You could build a metal shelf for the space inbetween them, or add a metal shelf to the texture itself.
The shelves or "racks" are very common in most any wharehouse space.

But trust me, by looking at your skill level from those screens, it would be absolutely easy for you to make your own sky. I'm a total photoshop nubcake, and it's easy for me. Try it!
