looks very valve-ish, ingsoc.
great work for your first published!

isn't there a game_end entity? or segment end? check the entity listings. I can't right now, I'm at work on my iPhone lol.
I might have more than 3 idk. depends on how much time I have left
OMG i just figured out how to get combine dropships and squad drop-off's working..... Wicked

my map is nearing the entity limit.... creeping towards 80%. I'm only halfway done And penguin. I know the entry can't be a mod, but it can be multiple maps, correct?
find a way around it. or keep on mapping other stuff and every now and again come back to trying it out.
i agree with CT.
i know exactly what i want to do to my island.. gotta find time to do it however.

Ok so. One of the bigger parts of my map, the player is being viewed from a point_viewcontrol. But when the player is seen from thirdperson, NPC attacks do no damage...
They aim and fire at the player (who is parented to another entity) but the attacks dont do anything. as soon as the view control is disabled, attacks do damage again... i gotta figure this one out soon, i'm starting to get worried
I cant even drown myself.
The oxygen bar shows and when it's fully depleted, i can stay underwater forever and not get damaged... this SUCKSSSSSS
Here's my workaround:
have a func_breakable parented to the player that surrounds the player - a hollow box with no top or bottom.
every time the box is damaged, it sends an "add 1" command to a math counter.
everytime the math counter receives an input, it sends its value to a logic case that takes proper actions based on the math counter input.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

lmfao. The patrick one was funny, but the dude with the roller blades... ouch man that's like intense... feel bad for the dude.
Has nothing to do with the compile params IMO. Seems that the scrips and nodes need to be at least 20 units above the displacements. It's working for the time being.
Ep2 has better graphics an more entity options. it's the latest and greatest that's availible to me so I'm using it.
Joe that map IS staring to look pimp!
And yeh zeeba, I'd like to think I'm going all out for this one. I just hope everyone has EP 2 so they can play mine.

99.5 hours mapped in the last 2 weeks. (source: steam profile)
Daymn.
I wouldn't even consider my entry 25% done yet either.
Bright side is, I'm to the point where i can map and/or script just about anything now.
All i really want to learn now is faceposer.
That's another compo tho.
Here's another teaser, if you could call it that. I want to show progress but i dont wanna give away any secrets/surprises.
It'll get detailed after all the scripting sequences are done.
In fact, that's the end of one sequence that took me about an hour just to get functioning somewhat correctly.

OMG ct i haven;t done a power hour in a looong time
Try restarting steam?
Maybe the options got messed up?
Re-install the SDK? (You wont lose any maps)

@ captain terror...
In the above view, select your half car, move it a unit, then back to the original place, shift-drag a copy, then hit CTL+L to mirror horizontally, or CTL+I to mirror vertically.
@ATDestroy
Yeah... all that crap would be WAY easier in source....
if you trigger user1, you could have user1 output each button to reset value.
How i love source
And how i thought before i would always fall back to goldsource.. i think i'm gonna stick with the new stuff now.

I can't wait to release my entry!!! i've been puttin in about 25 hours a week!
everything is set like that the nodes are at least 10 units above the displacement. I fixes a lot of my problems by taking out a lot of the scripted sequences. I think I fixed it, but for now I pushed that map aside.
I'm trying to script my map... and I'm trying to get my npc to walk a specific path at a specific time.
2 things happen that i can't figure out
1) my npc teleports to each scripted_sequence instead of walking
2) after the last sequence is done, the npc just falls straight through the displacement i have there. It's funny. But its annoying.
EDIT
I moved the sequences above ground by 20 units or so.. it worked until i added more sequences after... this is annoying

Looks SICK urby. Good work!
yeah the trees are from Ep2.
And i'm having a hard time using custom sounds. I have the time so i might as well do some voice acting. only thing is now i need to figure out how to get the mouths to move with the sound.
There's gotta be a tutorial around somewhere.
That and i need a higher quality mic... hmm...
There's only so much of a story you can tell without your own script. lmao.

Doesn't look like much, but that scene took about 1.5 hours to get right.
Skals annoyed the hell outta me back when he was "ghetto"
He got better.

well source modeller with XSI, which i forgot how to use. its simpler to export to half life but im just more comfortable with blender.
Lol I wanna figure this out too. My compo map can use some spiffing with custom props.

Just wanna say that it's taken me more time trying to figure out how to export and compile the model that it has making it!
And, thankfully, skins are SO EASY. It's just a text file referencing the different vmt's.

Ok i'm back from work now. I'm gonna work on rounding the corners and getting the UV map all set and done. It's gonna take a while because this is my first time exporting from blender into source.
Hmm and upon looking at it, i forgot the ladder.. no big deal that's easy to add.
I'm learning this as i go so don't hate me if its not perfect. I gotta go tho. I'll work on it more later.
I'm whipping something up in blender right now.
I dont think this should be too hard to texture as it's simple shapes, cylinders, cubes.. ect..
hardest thing IMO is the skins. Plus i've never compiled a model for source before. But it's a good learning experience!

I have blender, and i've used it before, but i just dont know how to texture really.
And when you say 328 units high, is that just the supports, or does that include the board?

Joebama, I agree with the masses that it is quite... yellow.
Although sounds and entity work could add so much more that we're not seeing. Cant wait to see how it all develops.
Joebama thinks it's sexy so i posted it.
Some more spoilers/teasers/progress on my map.
I know. It's just a displacement, sprite, and some models, but hey... it looks nice.

from what i remember, XSI is damn easy to integrate into source.
It's free and worth looking into.
I was kidding when i posted the paypal stuff.
In fact, i regret even doing so

Hmm i never even thought of the projected texture.
I tried using that when i was working on headlights for the Charger.
I am using ep2 engine too
I'll have to go try that because as of now the player doesn't have a HEV suit yet.
Appreciate the help madcow!

OMG so that's how the alpha works?
I was researching for hours on the VDC and i couldnt find it THANKS a million!
btw are you entering the compo? Because if you aren't i'd like a source SDK veteran to playtest my level for me
if not, no worries. i'll just be super self-critical.
Oh and one other thing if you have any ideas of how this works:
I have this big freight elevator in my map. It goes down about 5 floors, and i have recessed lights in the walls. The effect i want is to have really dramatic looking shadows being cast on the elevator as it moves down passing the lights.. i can't achieve the effect and i've tried a few different options...
Using spot lights instead of point lights, using dynamic lights (it's too expensive so i dont want to do that, plus i already have 2 dynamic lights being heavily used.)
I tried parenting light block brush to the elevator..
i'm running out of ideas

Maybe unbreakable can contribute?
i have a combine panel in the center of a room. Its a prop physics and i have it initally set to rendermode - dont render.
I have a combine gunship flying over the room and when it gets to a certain area the trigger kills the gunship and i want the panel to render normally.
I also have a button on the panel but i just have it locked to the time being, that's no problem really.

I have a prop_physics that is set to "dont render"
But i want it to render normally when a certain event is triggered.
I can't find any source equivalent to "env_render" And i don't see anything useful in the particular entities inputs...
Anybody know a way around this?

Cleaned up the mod folder structure last night.
I'll be running out of submitted maps soon. Need Moar!

I know how to use the particle system and it's pretty easy. the only thing i couldnt do is implement the particles i've made into a map.
(i made some sweet fireworks effects that i had to scrap )
But i made a smokestack point down, i just changed the smoke particle to a sprite and it works beautifully.
Still needs some tweaking, and smoke. But i'm not using fire anymore - i keep changing my mind. I just changed the sprite again so it's a more subdued dreamlike effect.
Anyway for particle tuts - this is straight from the VDC
It helped me a lot and i just looked into each other modifier and played with the settings until i got the hang of it.
This is the effect i'm using:
Something like that anyway.

I can't get the fire sprite to rotate any. I've tried all 3 rotation values to 180 on the env_sprite_oriented... blah
And the env fire itself only shoots the fire up.
The rocket itself is stationary i just want the fire pointing down.

uhhh... no....
if that was the case, a 128 unit high wall would be 34cm high.
it's ALMOST 1 unit = 1 inch. but it's really not.

Double post fail.
But after looking, i dont have the rjet1 sprite....
I'm using orange box 2009 engine.. should be there no?

Thanks a lot. I never looked outside the "fire" filter.
I had some luck with an env_shooter throwing out fire puffs but it didnt have the effect i wanted.
Again thanks a million.

I can always count on a NASA fanatic to know about rocket effects.Cheers Atom!
Does that sprite animate?
I know that fire goes up... But How would i achieve a rocket flame effect?
Basically a fire that aims down?

Rim are these going to be source models? And yeah captain. I'm trying to conquer source and release my first completed map. 1.7 months time left should be plenty. I've mapped everyday since it started, some days I've had more progress than others, but it's coming along smoothly so far.
Took me ages to get the car headlights to work properly.
