in Mods and Steam. Post #139548

I'm having a problem with my HL1 based mod and Steam.

Problem 1:
When you go to change controls you get this:
http://www.flatrabbits.onestop.net/woot2.JPG
Where is the list?!
Yet on non-Steam Half-life you get this:
http://www.flatrabbits.onestop.net/woot1.JPG
No problem there!

Problem 2:
Also, how do you change the splash for a Steam HL mod? Normal non-Steam methods have not worked.

Problem 3:
How can I get an icon working on the Steam "Play Games" menu?

in Difference between a 128mb and a 256? Post #139503

I always thought video card memory was for textures and storing rendered frames before they are displayed..?!
Mines got 256mb, it's only a Geforce 5700LE but it made quite a difference from my 128mb Geforce 5200 I got in my other computer.
Usually it doesnt cost too much extra, unless you get into the really top end 7800's!

I need a pair of them druels...

^^ I've just realised that, now I've started work on my own mod!
I don't think it'll be too much of a problem though, might end up using it in my mod

I really feel for you... had this happen to me.
I now save twice, to two different filenames and alternate which one I save to.
Maybe try that in future?
Good luck recovering it!

in Multiple speakers for scripted_sentence Post #138830

lots of scripted_sentences

Nope... still only one of them talks. I didnt try multiple sentences cos i thought the actual sound file would play 4 times over.

Think I'm gonna make it so that the player can only see one of their faces.

How do you make more than one npc talk with a scripted_sentence?
Like in the OpFor bootcamp, where they say "SIR YES SIR!"
I know its just one sound file but all of their mouths move...

Any ideas?

in env_beam, damage problem Post #138473

Yes, but you can make the beam go between trains and those trains will be on paths, which in turn have the "fire on pass" option. Use them as your triggers for the trigger_hurt's.
Was going to do it that way, but its an awful lot of work for a simple bloody laser!

in env_beam, damage problem Post #138453

Do you mean a repeat rate on the env_beam?
There is a strike again time but thats ignored because I have its "life" set to infinite.

Another question on env_beams, I've tried creating a ring beam and it works, but In multiplayer only the 1st person to join the server can see it, to the other people theres nothing there. I find that very odd...

I'm sorry about this 'nack' I seem to have for discovering really obscure errors!

???
You use "Start Entity" and "End Entity" instead of target, point them to two trains.
As previously said though, my beam doesn't do any damage, or if it does it can't make up its mind as to when it does the damage.

I tried having several trigger_hurt's that were triggered by the lasers path_corner's but it got too complicated.
So I've ended up with a fixed end env_laser, with just one end moving.
It causes the damage I want with no problem! Instagib!!

When I use info_targets, damage is caused but obviously they dont move!

They should be, and it might be easier because you can get them all from the same place.

You might want to get a SLI compatible motherboard? Then if you get a bit of money later on you can add another GeForce PCX6600. (as long as its exactly the same model)
