lol thanks for the feature there, moaby
That's a novel idea Atom.
So i'm going to work out all the fine details now.
Turns out since there's only about 6 maps submitted i'm not going to need a larger castle..
I'm just going to spread out the castle i have already.
Maybe retexture it as well because the vanilla HL ones are freaking bland.
As for the surgery - check my journal.

If you're not no worries!
ok so now that the compo is over I can wrap this up!
if anyone else wants to submit please notify me via pm or just post a link to the map download.
I'm in for surgery tomorrow which means I have a recovery period in which I can map all I want! if I REALLY focus I can have this done by th end if next week.
brilliant
I agree with ATD.
I work on WIN 7
No real problems, but it seems to lag a bit more than it should.
Efficient use of Vis-groups can solve that though.

almost looks like a P228
<3 you commieman i'm gonna go try that.
I'll have to watch the movie to get all the details. and i don't exactly have all the correct props, but i DO have the air brakes opening (3 yellow things in front) when you turn.
Phys thrusters are hard to REALLY control well..
I wish there was a phys_hover
Like g-mod, but that's cheating.

Well once i get the bugs outta the pod racer I'm going to try to re-create anakin's pod.
Instead of posting just journal after journal of youtube videos with random physics stuff in them, how about joining them all together in a thread.
(hopefully can be stikied if popular?)
post screenshots, links to downloads, videos, whatever of any source physics projects you have going on. Have any developmental questions? Throw em in here.
I'll start it off with a few links:
Experimental Pod Racer -

Dont even know what to call this one -

And it's not physics, but so what-

Lol jeff mod, i have no problem with Dr.Who, or your changing your avatar...
It was just THAT picture of Dr.who.
I felt like he was a homosexual vampire trying to seduce me with his eyes.

thats still a pretty.. for lack of better word(s).. gay... avatar.
mmm that's what i did.
Even though my entry skips around quite a bit.
I've played skals' entry and i was shocked by its quality!
I wanna see the others.

So far they're looking incredible!
I love everything except the third one. VERY square-ish.
Ceiling needs work too. But it is a WIP

Is there a big difference in quality with RAW vs FINE?
Aww ninja'd
I'm getting a strange error where the player turns invincible after a level change.... come to think of it. I might have a solution.... I cant test for another 6 hours. damnnnnn.

I was up til 2:am messing with it. point client commands ruin EVERYTHING!! 
gotta iron out bugs, run final compiles and I'll submit after work. ( on break right now )

amirite?

Idk. TBH, i think the 'can't be a mod' rule is bs. I was just making sure your entry wouldn't be Disqualified.
You're welcome!
hey uh.... skals...
Looks MUCH better! =]
mod structure - 98%
Your entry must NOT be in mod format. If you have custom content, the content should be zipped in the appropriate folder structure.And soup, everything was subdivided, but i just did it wrong, instead of making say a 6 sided displacement with 3 brushes, i made a 6 sided displacement with 6 brushes.
Looks MUCH better! =]
We need to get some Source tuts in here, though, or we'll be obsolete soon...I plan on proposing a tutorial on "advanced NPC control" after the compo is done and after i can get a better feel for the AI logic.
The stuff i've done in my maps i had to figure out for myself via trial and error and the VDC wiki.
So i hope to write some more tuts as to save someone else the pain and wasted time i went thru
Map 1 - 99.9% (Just needs final compile and cubemap build)
There's a lot more i'd like to do with map 1. But at this point in time, i'll consider it finished.
Map 4 - 99.9%(Just needs final compile and cubemap build)
Ending map - took me only 5 or so hours to really finalize - could be better, but time allowing, i'll spruce it up a bit.
Now for map 3!
Lots of work to do here. Mostly entity stuff, squad scripting, lots of level changes occur with this level (think of it as the central hub) so Map 2 is the pain in the ass map.

i like source too much to switch tho

I have no idea, else i'd help.
did you verify game cache?

Mine's getting released i guarantee it.
I'm doing all the level changes right now.
Once those are done i'll go back and flesh everything out.
If the level changes work flawlessly, i'll be happy releasing the maps as-is.
But i'd be ecstatic if they're to my standards.
Workin on smoothing all my displacements now.

My progress:
Map1 - 90%
Map2 - 70%
Map3 - 80%
Map4 - 99% (needs level change from map 2 and that's it)
So i still have a lot of work to do..
Worse comes to worse, I'll just leave out some stuff.
Everything flows at the moment, i just have a lot of other things i would like to add - time allowing.
I just finished the ending so at least that works and i wont have to worry.

Check the tutorial for the Goldsource one.
It's the same thing.
But there's something called a trigger transition that copies all the entities within the volume to the next map. The trigger transition references the same landmark used for the level change.
http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=62
That's the level change tutorial..
In source, there's still the landmarks, there's still the trigger_changelevel, you still need one in each level with one of the same named landmarks in each level as well..
Good luck.

I also could be wrong. I'm at work and I can't check right now.
doesn't render as static. it should because the model viewer says it can... but nothings there if I have it as a static. I'll just clip it out and have it non solid
the couch has disabled collisions or else the npcs actually throw it across the room when they sit on it. I'll check the npcs statuses too. those npcs need to stand up and do stuff later. ATM they're just chillin until you do something.
But everyone's just sittin around watching TV.
Wtf people. do something.
Little bit of research says that the Vphysics errors are generally harmless.
Should i ignore this or take the internet's word for it?
Btw; making people sit on couches - SOO easy =]
Srry, reminds me of Tool's album 10,000 days or something like that.

I'd use this setup
Trigger Multiple:
-Trigger MM1
-Delay before reset: 0
MM1:
-change target of trigger to MM2
-render illusion
MM2:
-change target of trigger to MM1
-DON'T render illusion

IMO it's the same deal as goldsource. just hit the full compile when you're ready to release. have you checked the VDC for any compiling tips?? it has a permanent bookmark in my toolbar above my tabs. I visit 3x+ a day for entity info and crap.
And zeeba, i havent given up yet!
how'd u do that in sketchup?
It's been a while since i've mapped for goldsource, especially tracktrains. But does this help at all?

And the disabled flag only disables the control of the car. it maintains speed. [i think]

Fun with entities!
Controllable combine helicopter that shoots 5 rockets per second on command.
Soon to be 10 once i duplicate the setup to the left wing.
Ran into a HUGE snag with my compo entry so i'm doing this for the time being.

Ran into a HUGE snag with my compo entry so i'm doing this for the time being.
Putting the finishing touches on stringing my 3 maps together for the compo, yes i have 3. But i'm having a few issues with the level changes.
First of all, is there a command to force the player to exit a vehicle? Could i just kill the vehicle? or would that mess crap up?
Secondly, there's a teleport in the first level which brings you to the second, but when you get there, you can see all the props from the first level floating in the sky, and the fog_controller carries over too.
Is there a way to prevent this?
Thirdly, it seems that enemies are carrying over from map to map as well..
This is highly un-desirable, and could be the downfall of my entry boo
Why is everything in source so much more difficult than in Goldsource?
any help is appreciated.

steel fist, try your hardest to enter this one. still time left, and the next one wont be for a WHILE. (usually)
This looks incredible!
Let me know if this gets server time i want in!
