Props are leaked out of the world. Turn RAD off and compile. Load the point file, and find the leak. Extend the walls that seal off the map to encompass the ends of the props to prevent leaks.
Well, they do serve the purpose of looking like white boards. I dont see any reason to normal map them, and I dont see any normal map effects on them at all. They look like they were made in paint. Too plain, and no effects age or anything at all. Everything in this world has some effects of age, or scratches, or signs of construction.
Materials like these do not require a normal map on them. Thats why its not noticed. Normal mapping is for indentations in rock, or metal. It shows depth in 2D, but light is applied to it like its 3D. None of your materials need a normal map on them.
They are good for creating a unique theme in the map. Very crisp and clean looking. Maybe apply a specular reflection lightly on the white board with the writing masked to stand out.
Just try to remember not everything needs a normal map........

I dont know if milkshape has a .smd exporter (which is what you need) but any model in theroy can be put into any other game. Only the problem is that UV maps sometimes cant make the software crossover from model tool to the next.
IF you really want to, look up how to convert milkshape models to XSI format, or use XSI to export the Sims models (Assuming you know how to decompile them, and then export them)
Anyway, Sims objects are low poly and could be modeled in like 2 seconds, UV mapped in like 10 minutes XD

These are the video's habboi posted? Oh well....
yep 
My god. Valve is incredible! Will they stop making great game innovations? The answer is NO
no. They work in all mods the same way. Its the entities that change between mods.
Ill take all that into account.
But I should mention this is far from done. Even though the polys are there, doesnt mean they are there to stay. I try to model low detail and low poly, then subdivide and adjust the whole model. Most of what you mentioned will be addressed later when the "base" polys are there. But some of what you mentioned I did not notice and I appreciate your notice of detail. Its nice to have someone give me some honest feedback to improve instead of "nice model" (Though I do admit I dont mind those comments )
Espically someone who is obviously artisticly inclined such as you

Ill move some points around in the back to get a better transition
Im just practicing. Its not a tutorial, just practice. If I did export it I wouldnt use it because I cant think of a good use for a anatomicaly correct model to be used in source
Thanks for the feedback

Same here. The new lighting they use is stunning! I thought I wouldnt like the cartoon feel, but I must say, " Im lovin it!"
Any constructive feedback to offer? 
I was writing a tutorial for this, but put it off for other projects.
Heres a quick description:
Assuming you know basic material creation:
Use NVIDIA normal map tool to alter image for the normal map.
For the shinyness:
Create an alpha channel on the normal map image. Duplicate the normal map, and change to greyscale. Adjust. (white is full reflection, black is none) ctrl a to select all, copy and paste the greyscale in the alpha channel of the normal map.
Save as texturename_normal (drag onto vtex)
Place texturename.vtf and texturename_normal.vtf in your material folder that you create.
Set up your .vmt like this:
"LightmappedGeneric"
{ "$basetexture" "yourfoldername/materialname"
"$surfaceprop" "rock"
"$bumpmap" "yourfoldername/materialname_normal"
"$envmap" "env_cubemap"
"$normalmapalphaenvmapmask" "1"
}
Thats it. Thats a VERY VERY sloppy description, but it should help.
I also suggest these links in the valve wiki:

Heres some updates on some of my modeling work. Ive started the body, and some of the arm. Its very far from being done, but its a start I might even convert it into source. It would have to be in a room all alone with area portals closing everything else off since its so high poly
(BTW, I accidently put "Dents" in the back of the head because the point tool goes through geometry! Ill fix it later )
Ive also been mapping, and screwing with .vmt file options to make materials do some cool stuff. Most are experiments, so I wont post them

Sounds like a very interesting idea. The only suggestion I have is maybe narrow the forum sections down a bit. It will make the community on the site feel larger if less sections on the forum are available, and encourage more interaction

Well, I dont think the textures are boring. They remind me of Unreal maps. Overall though the map looks very nice

Attatch the face of the brush to the cubemap. Also check for leaks.
Cubemaps involve placement, and console command "buildcubemaps" Theres really nothing hard about it. The reflection on materials is sampled from the cubemaps location. If it is by a building it reflects a building. those lines you have are normal for a compile.
The materials are too blurry. I suggest sharpening it in photoshop and maybe adding some brushes of scratches, or marks on them. Its not just that, its also the normal map. You must of used a very low normal map scale. Sometimes it dilutes and distorts the material when done like that. I suggest turning up the scale.
Also, your refracting ball looks ok, but Usually refractions are moving, or scrolling (like water)
Add this code to the end of your .vmt after the REFRACT line if you want a scrolling material:
"Proxies"
{
Obviously your settings will differ. I think the code is self descriptive.
"$envmaptint" [1 1 1] really is not very noticable when used. I suggest "$envmapcontrast" "1" (between 0 and 1). It sharpens and tones up the reflection and is very much more noticable than the tint.
There is also a serious lack of props in the map. Source mapping is very dependent on prop placement, (I know you know this, and I know its hard to find props to place in a map like this) but there are some. Old pots for example, or prop work to take the place of architecture from brushwork to accomplish more detail, but still remain within the budget.
Good brushwork though, and I love the theme.
BTW dont take any of this the wrong way. The map looks excellent, and it makes me smile to see custom materials in a map. I just bring up this as constructive criticism.

Very nice map. Lighting in source effects 5/10ths of the overall look in my book, and I say you nailed the lighting. Texture choice is wise as well (even though source materials are SOO overused.) I would get rid of the statue, as it does not really make sense in the scene. (But thats just me, if you like it keep it, it wont effect the quality of the map)
Maybe add some power boxes and move ropes around along with generators, and maintenance rooms. Maybe even some steam coming from the pipes, or a flickering light in the corner with sparks coming out.
On a side note not related to the map:
If your computer can handle it I suggest turning anti-aliasing up to at least 2x. Its so blurred, it looks like someone used the sharpen tool in photoshop like 50 times!
And if you can use anti-aliasing, make to turn up anisotropic filtering as well.

Scaling a material is not a taboo thing to do in source. Maybe in HL1, but source maps (Valve and otherwise) have all sorts of materials scaled up/down throughout maps. Theres one mountain material source uses where you have to scale it to fit otherwise it looks horrible (because it has a grassy top, and is not meant to tile in a pattern)
The increased resolution and quality of images in source allow for scaling to occur. Materials with reflections and normal maps applied are even better because the extra effects take the eye off of the monotonous effects of stretching a material.
Its time to cast away this silly belief. Its just Hl1 mapping gripes transitioning to source

Vertices cannot be copied, or moved like points in modeling. Vertex manipulation and point extrusion in modeling is as kindergarden is to college. Its very primitive because your working with world geometry brushes.
So the short answer is no

Im so sick of SP maps that are just spawn and fight the combine....
You could spice up the combat a bit by maybe only letting the player use a unique weapon and prevent combine from dropping weapons, cool traps to kill combine, stuff like that.
Proper texture choice and creation adds a unique feel to a map, and makes you feel like your in a different map, then a generic HL2 map.

The grammar and presentation is a big seller in recruiting. Maybe you would attract more if your overall presentation was a bit more professional.
It would also be nice so see some of the work you have done with whatever you are able to do. You say you model, so can we see some of your models? Can you animate them and properly ragdoll them?
The creation of a mod is an incredible amount of work and close teamwork between the team.
Its hard for people to get behind you if you cannot give a decent coherent presentation about the project.

I honestly think its not a good idea. Your mod idea seems spur of the moment, and you really need to think of the tremendous time and effort a mod takes. What will make this mod unique? What kind of work is needed for its completion?
Are you just a random person, or do you have advanced experience with mapping/modeling/skining/texturing/animating/sound creation and placement/coding? At least a good understanding of the work that goes into these areas.
Here is a good forum post about a mod. Its descriptive, and shows it actually has a chance at creation:

Ive actually been thinking about making a HL1 map. Its been so long.....
NO, the effect takes over after buildcubemaps is typed. Only small things like this merit restarting the map.
The only thing restarting the map does for cubemaps is if HDR is on, and cubemaps need to be build in LDR and HDR.
I dont think it looks weird. Understanding that EVERYTHING in life has some kind of specular reflection helps appreciate it more. Even organic objects reflect light.
I really like the effect, since its supposed to be on a beach where the tide just left
Anyway, this was a test map. If it was a real map I would of attatched the faces of the mountain to a cubemap where I wanted the reflection to be referenced from. Right now, its reflecting the grass, which creates a green effect.

Ah ha! I got it! It appears to have a normal map on both even when cubemaps were built, but once you quit and reload with the saved cubemap information it works! Here is a pic of the material in action!

Yes, but UV mapping is so God awful boring! Its not hard, just very very time consuming. It would be some good UV practice though

Im having a problem with my blend material. Im completely stumped here. Here is the problem:
I have 2 materials. Both custom. One is called cliff, the other grassy. Cliff is normal mapped with a specular reflection. grassy just a generic material. I have both these materials set to be blended. Here is the blend .vmt information:
"WorldVertexTransition"
{
"$basetexture" "mikematerials/cliff"
"$basetexture2" "mikematerials/grassy"
"$bumpmap" "mikematerials/cliff_normal"
"$envmap" "env_cubemap"
"$envmapcontrast" "1"
"$normalmapalphaenvmapmask" "1"
}
My problem is that the specular reflection and normal map is transitioning to the grass material when blended. I want the rocks to be normal mapped and reflected, and the grass to be normal in the blend.
My blend material was working fine. The normal map and reflection stayed with the rocks. For some reason, it just decided not to work properly for no reason. It was working after the SDK update, so its not that.
Removing the lines after the "basetexture2" makes no difference. If I remove them the cliff material will not be normal mapped.
Is there a line in the .vmt file to isolate the cliff material for the surface properties? I know this works because:
1: It was working before this.
2:Lost coast does this with the wet rocks in the beginning.
This is kind of an advanced texture question so its alright if it cant be answered, but I really need some help on this.
Also, you cant GCF scape materials from lost coast. Their folder is not there like Episode 1. They have not released the material for use yet by the outside. So, I cant see their blend vmt file to reference it to my own

Well, looks like your only choice is to make a source mod to emulate BF2. Maps, models, sounds, hardcore coding, the works! Its the only option left
When you update, is this a button, or feature in-game you click on to start an "auto-update", or do you download the new version from a website? If it is my first statement, then try googling "BF2 patch/update (insert patch version here, ex. 2.01) Download it and install like that.
On a side note, Ive have always heard BF2 was full of bugs, so dont feel like your the only one

Looking to get a good idea of how some effects and attributes of source were accompished? Want to make your work look fantastic? Take a gander at these articles (PDF) on texture painting, surface properties (specular, reflective, bump map, etc), and some very good photoshop tips/tricks for custom materials for in game, or models. All the info covered is interchangable information for modeling/mapping.
I suggest reading this first tutorial before the second if your completely new to texture creation:
http://www.onona3d.com/pdf/texturing.pdf
http://www.onona3d.com/pdf/PhotoshopTips.pdf
The second one covers correct use of the stamp tool, and accurately making seamless repeating materials

One of the .dll files from his map might be in there, or a new game config file which overwrites the others. This happened to me. Either reinstall it, or look at the files in the zip of Kaspergs maps. Delete the corrosponding files in your Steam/steamapps/satchmo/half-life folder. Then it will work fine
THe 3D window really isnt a problem. Just set a camera anywhere and save. THe displacement clipping was a problem that needed to be fixed big time....

Have 2 point_client commands connected to a trigger or anything to fire the parameter of the console command. Have one fire before the other one, or whatever you need.
I dont think multiple commands can be in a point client command. I think my map glitched when i tried it........

OMG thanks Habboi! I ran into this problem recently with physics objects clipping through displacements. I thought it was a material error on my part, but I guess not. That command will fix the clipping you say?
Thanks
Anyway, I dont want to blame valve too much. Every company has their faults, and problems. Considering what Valve has done good, I still hold them as one of the best developers in the game industry

I also ran into another problem that never happened before the update. In material .vmt files, "$basealphaenvmapmask" "texturefoldername/texturename. This line tells source to go the the alpha channel of the material for a reflective mask (If the texttures only has a reflection and no bumpmap) Now, the material glitches in hammer when I use this for masking. Now, Im really pissed because now I have to bumpmap every texture and place the reflective mask in the alpha channel of the bumpmap.
Argh!
Argh!
IM also getting tired of trying to figure out if jobabob is actually pissed, or just being sarcastic! Darn that British humor! 
WTF is all this drama here at TWHL? Who cares if you leave Jobabob. This a mapping/modding site anyway. Whens the last time a post from you was about any of this anyway?

Forum moderators need to get on the ball with these "Internet shortcuts" and "Ban everyone" type of threads.
Im really getting sick of all this here. I stayed at TWHL for the small, but very helpful community, but people like you and Jimmi are really bringing this site down.

Update time! Well Ive not had much time to get to mapping/modeling in a couple days (Had to straighten out some problems with my classes in college for the fall) But Ive got to fix and add some more to my face model
I took the advice into account (particularly from Elon, thanks) about rounding and changing the face. I used proportional modeling in point edit mode and translate mode to move points together to quickly mold the face where I want it. All I have now is to close the side of the face, and finish the ear canal.
I tried thumbnails this time. hope its ok

Also, Hammer used to display masked reflections in the editor. Now masked reflections appear as just regular reflections, but 10 times brighter. Its hard to work with the bright reflections shining all over my mountian when it should be masked........
I have not experienced that Habboi. Maybe your default texture size in the tools menu is set higher or lower than 0.25?
