in VIEWING DISTANCES Post #6891
Hmm... yes,
It does work but try to keep it low...

it generally causes problems like demonic r_speeds etc...

You can also use the -maxviewdistance? in hlvis.exe - this can be pretty powerfull not sure if that's the right one, but if you are usng Merl's mod. of ZHLT, look at the documentation for more info on this

Yes, but you can only take one at a time that way...

with f5 you can plug away and it will save them as .bmp's

btw, i think F5 was added in a pach so if you don't have it concider upgrading

then Use a func_wall toggle, when you trigger it it disappears, and when you trigger it again it appears,
or if you tick the start invisible flag, the first time you trigger it it appears etc...

in trees Post #6748
Well, basically in hl the easyest way is sprites, or transparent textures,

the testure way is easyer:

Get a textured brush with a bush texture on it or something,
turn it into a func_illusionary (or func_wall) FX ammount to 255, Render mode to 'Solid'

Now copy the entity and make a cross with it in top view:

_|_
-|-

something like that :confused:

in Pitch Yaw Roll Post #6379
PYR is mainly for point entities,

but it does have applications for brush entities such as rotating buttons ->

say you want a rotating button to work right in a 45* angle corridor, you'd use PYR to get it to spin properly..

in Decals SUCK! Post #6329
In software mode, decals behave the same way as the face underneath them. In open gl this does not apply -- wierd, but you have to live with it

in How do I get OpenGL? Post #6328
Open gl is a render mode, like software,

you need a 3d card to use it.

The alternative for gl_wireframe is r_draworder 1 in software

try running hlrad.exe - that makes the lighting in your map

sometimes, when you upgrade, hammer resets your config. which by default does not run rad

Stealing or Not?

I think it all rests with the end-user: the person with the decompiler taking the maps and decompiling them for their own pourpose

It all rests with what kind of person you are ;)

Trigger relays can be used to great effect because of their Trigger to send option (or something like that ;) )

say you want to make a light, and one button turns it on Only, and the other button turns it off only - this is very easy with trigger_relays
