What do you do now?
And on the topic of the server... The HLstats seem broken.
I was playing for a good 2 hours yesterday and none of my stats moved at all... And what's with it not registering any of the accuracies or shots fired?

What if you have a bunch of trigger teleports that are only active after you shoot the button. The trigger teleport drops you into another sealed room in the map which drops you above the trigger_changelevel, and thus into the correct orientation every time.

Basically, the teleport automatically aligns you into the right spot. That's what I do for castle disposed. Works like a charm.

And.. password?

have you tried the omega drivers?

It's an ongoing project... i think he's still working on it.

yeah why is source texlighting so much more of a pain in the ass?
On a similar note - Why is everything in source so much more of a pain in the ass?

What if you send bits and pieces of everything to someone, and then they can upload it somewhere else in one piece.

Yeah. The bots are terrible, and wtf is with them killing you in 3 shots with the glock? It's a heap of bullshit.
And if they don't kill you instantly, they literally just float around in slow motion.

Have you tried autosaves?? Or even renaming the map...? Recompiling?

WTF did you do...

speaking of randoms i got ninja'd today:)

I meant that....
On a lighter note... LMAO at mooncheese.wad
XD

How about putting a "C:" in front of the filename....

Warning: Wad file '\program files\steam\steamapps\ninjaz65\team fortress classic\tfc\beyonddarkness.wad' not found

maybe
C:\program files\steam\steamapps\ninjaz65\team fortress classic\tfc\beyonddarkness.wad
Will work

Oh.... and get rid of the extra 12 textures you have in your map.. The max is 8, or else problems start to occur.

D:
Well i never encountered any problems with it.
:/ Guess i gotta look into the R_speeds...
Or it could be the massive Hl2 Textures.

YAY! How productive is Productive?

On a side note, dm_cliff works fine on the server. No lag issues when i was playing it with some other people.

Trigger once's and trigger Multiples are brush based entities.
You need to create a brush(use the AAAtexture) and then tie it to an entity (CTRL+T) and it should be there.
If it's not, you need the FGD.
And your grade depends on this huh?
How long do you have left?

You might want to look into that.

Don't ask how I stumbled upon this. I myself don't even know..

is it giving you a apecific error? or just crashing?
It could be a bad landmark name / location

did you try loading one of the other maps and activating then level change from there?

Wow it seems that this mod is just not meant to be!
Broken maps, broken .rar files... mothers getting in the way.

Lemme know when it's fixed!

What is it? Dm map?

Yeah There's definitley a leak in there. Loading the .pts and .lin files is the best way to do fix it. (In editor: Map >> Load Pointfile)
Or you could have an entity in the void..
The map looks generally square do i don't think it would be an invalid solid creating a pin-hole leak (pains in the asses those are)

And as for compiling, The Compilator will help a lot.

And i never knew null acted like an invisible shadow caster..

Really? I always thought it needed to be Mode: Solid and Amount: 255
That's the way i learned, and it's the way i've always done it.

MAYBE it just has to be non-zero...
and MAYBE someone should do a benchmark to see if the values matter at all

What if you try to do a vanilla compile?
AKA
Don't use any expert commands, just run a fast VIS compile, and turn off the -nowadtextures mumbo jumbo.
The nowadtextures is usually only for final compiles anyway so if this is for testing purposes, I'd leave that for the last step.

If this IS the final compile.... Try chaning your BSP directory to mydocuments, or a simple folder on the C: drive.

Example: "Place Compiled maps in this directory: C:\maps"

After that, transfer the bsp from there into your steam valve folder.

Your computer might be confusing the tools with long filenames. That used to happen with the old hammer tools and the newer steam accounts. Such as mine.
I have an @ symbol because of my old steam username. It's my email address.

Try that, see what happens. If nothing else works, i can take a look at it later today when i'm out of work.

Usually Running a compile with full vis and Extra Rad is more accurate and will cut down your polys. The 800 limit is SO 1998. Most modern computers can sneeze more power than it takes to run a map with that many.

Unless this is a multiplayer map i wouldnt worry about the polys right now.

If it is a multiplayer map, just try and keep it under 1500 or so.

What happens if you don't use the super tools?

Steam still crashes when it's updating?

It's all those bass fishing sites. Loads of pron on them there interwebs.

I'll have to check it out when i go home.
The site looks professional, but the media links (pictures) are all 404's for me.

But from the thumbnails: Gordon wielding an AK-47?

Refer to #1....

#1) i'm at work,
#2) The model isnt even done yet.

I quote Urby:

I will be adding Tetsu0 over the next couple of days too.

Striker - make a decent DM map and see if WC will host it!
And i'm not a soldier zombie, just a reg zombie. Google didnt turn up any worthwile regular zombie pics

I don't think so. There's a seperate category for the crossbow...
I've killed folks zoomed in and unzoomed. IDK what else it could be.

And what's with the accuracies and such not showing up?

What's that "Bolt" Weapon on HlStats? I can't figure it out for the life of me.

coolbeans man.

R speeds bad?
And i knew that name sounded familiar didn't realize til now.(Wow i'm thick eh?)
How's it play?

Anyway. I'll see to attending that map. I'll have to dig it up in my old maps folder (old HD) and do a re-compile. I'm not sure if i have the textures anymore, (it's the hl2 set) I'll try to optimize and re-compile.

Ohh. I've had this one before.

You have conflicting (or bad) sky textures in your wads. Delete one of the sky textures from any custom wads. (i recommend sticking to the HL.wad one)

Reference: http://twhl.co.za/forums.php?thread=14706

My thread is long gone somehow.

Ok jesus-h-christmas....
Png it is..
You hear that srry?

Anyway. Hotdog, i'm gonna send you a completed version of your map i have set up for the castle. Let me know how you like it. If you want me to re-texture anything... any ideas you had. After all it was your map to begin with. I dont want anybody feeling as though i've killed your problem children.

How's norton work for you? I havent used it since 2006?

Well i never actually run it in the background. I load it up 2.. 3 times a week before i go to bed and have it shutdown after it scans and fixes. I've been using it since day one with my new rig, and i've had zero problems.

But i still need to go in and re-seat the ram. I'm getting random blu screens.

I sort of like big city. It reminds me of legos for some reason.
And world-crafter, just let me know when payment's coming up. I'll be happy to contribute further.
And i do think poison garden is the worst map in the server. Gameplay-wise that is. >.< Sorry Rimrook

And use AVG damnit!
Sorry to hear about your virus issues. Hope everything works out!
Make sure to scan the files on the other hard drive before transferring them back to the clean one. You might transfer an infected file.

This mod is to include zero coding what-so-ever.
All the disposed maps have been made for the original half life, and not a lot of people (that i know of) mod for Op4. The input is appreciated Jedi, But we're sticking to vanilla here.

For the splash screen, I made 2 versions of that crappy one before.
No matter what res I set my video mode to, it always seemed to use the 800x600 one. So I guess if we stick to a 16:9 resolution, that should work.

Just something bigger than 800 X 600 for sure, because it gets quite grainy.
And as for the Bmp links... leave those for when the splash is actually decided on. Give the aussies a break. (For Now)

I like saw's idea for a menu bar within the splash, but I think that'd be too hard to work with seeing as how when you change resolution, the font size differs. It'd be too hard to really make it flexible enough to look good on all resoultions.

Since I'm leaving the font white, we're not going to need anything more than a fade to black on the left hand side.

Other good news: I fixed all the errors that Compilator 2.0B seemed to cause. Aside from that, I might have to create seperate rooms in the castle for teleporting in from other maps. As I would like to have a cutscene or a narraritive after each emblem is collected.

"You've completed 'Block Hole' by HLife_Hotdog!'
"Access to the second floor has been granted."

Something along those lines...

Right now I have every seperate map linking up to the same info_landmark in the central hall. It works, but not the way I want it. I'll just change the landmark to an info_teleport_destination with an env_fade after each maps cutscene. Should prove to be a nice effect.

Map 2 is to enter dev processes in 8 hours.

Yeah. If you could, toss up the compile log.
That'd once again help pinpoint the error.

Well what resolutions do we need for the splash screens?

Just because the maps are unfinished doesnt mean the mod has to be unfinished.
Which means. All mod work can be clean and professional. So long as the maps run smoothly - for being unfinished.

Well you're getting more stuff for the same price. That's pretty fantastic.
I was also wondering if you have special slots in there dedicated to TWHL members.

Lets say there's 5 TWHLites and 4 regular random peeps and another TWHLite joins in.

Well server's full but the TWHLite REALLY wants in.

Are there reserved slots? so can we kick a random out and let the TWHLite in?

sounds good srry!
I got set back a lot in the disposed thing becasue the compilator 2.0 messed everything up!
It's a beta, however and that's why betas are released. I'm gonna stick to good old compilator 1.whatever.

Those bots are RETARDED on Sancefar.
They all stood at the tops and bottoms of the tower ladders trying to crowbar eachother.
And they would jump-strafe off the cliff when in a gunfight.
