yeah, the texture transparency can be a real PITA with GoldSrc.. The egir.dk tutorial killer-duck mentioned is pretty good.
If you still can't get it figured, check out the tutorial by NinjaGrinch referenced in this thread.

idk it works when i add the origin brush and it "disappears" when i remove it, so.. =/
fixed.
Your plane did not have an origin brush(the main problem), and i couldn't figure out how your logic_relay worked, so i added a button to trigger the plane. Also i made all those pegs(235 of them!) a func_detail.
as far as how to make the plain "destroid", you'll have to figure that out. (shooting it now just makes it stop)

I use HLFix with SHLT and i've never had a problem..
i'll play with it if you post a link to the .vmf
brb i have to go check my pants! +)
holy shi is this HL:HS reborn? Nice spiffied-up original textures(are those from HL:S?). Last one is my fav, the monitor with the test pattern is a nice touch.
Superb stuff! =)

wow that looks gorgeous GoldSrc screens soup!1 I will shit if you tell me those vines models are brushwork.
ha what are the tag for that text effect?
That's BS Urby. Worst logic ever.Idk, what is an iPad if not a laptop sans keyboard, in terms of functionality? And Urb's absolutely right about anything touchscreen: it is a royal bitch trying to keep it clean..
The only real plus side to an iPad i can see is it's ultra portable, ideal if you're on a plane in coach seats for example.
And let's face it they ARE super trendy. If i had extra money to burn, i'd buy one just to say i own one. Maybe somebody who has one can shed some light on what makes an iPad something more than a keyboardless notebook.
)
Yeah, i don't get the iPad at all, besides the touch aspect. However honestly, i can't think of many applications i'd prefer a touchscreen interface to a physical keyboard, besides some puzzle-style games like word feud.. (and maybe a TRON-style keyboard app which might pwn)
)
On a phone, there is no easier way to browse a webpage than with a touch screen, a feature on my phone which i use ALL THE TIME. (also very useful for changing your POV during navigation, and a few other things) Mostly though, if it' weren't for browsing webpages, i'd have absolutely no use for a touchscreen phone, and would be content with the clamshell/slider style any day of the week.. (i really miss my old LG EnV phone, i could text blindfolded with that thing))
Payphones are an endangered species where i live; good luck finding one nowadays if your battery dies and you have an emergency.. i guess since everyone and their mum has a mobile now though, it really doesn't matter..
didn't really need too, the gluon gun made short work out of them. The previous time i tried that level with only the tau cannon, i couldn't beat them.. =)
It WAS truly fun, and just the right amount of ammo for most levels, for if you wasted any, you'd run out with your current weapon. (i didn't realize you kept weapons from previous levels right away, thinking there was a weaponstrip after each stage..)

Soup: man that game was great fun and brilliant work for your first mod! The music and the nice little intro sequence accompany the gameplay nicely.
!ALIEN BLAST SPOILERS BELOW!
One thing: you could move on to the next level without completing the previous level. e.g., for the marine level, i just ran though the door to the next one.. =)
The gargantua level was impossible for me until i realized i had the gluon gun. =)
The last level was impossible for me until i realized the nilinath monsters had a limited range.. =)
Great fun! I really enjoyed playing this, and it gives me some new ideas of what i'd like to do for my rooms:s entry! =)

I think everyone should build an entry and exit hall into their room, it'll smooth the process over. That is unless they want the player to be teleported in.Maybe, each submitted map just needs an entry hallway? This way, the next entries' entrance will serve as the previous maps exit hallway?
If the map's being teleported to and from, then obviously a hallway wouldn't be needed.
Alternative to having the requirement of a connecting hallway, we could just have a standard themed/textured hallway that would connect every entry, thereby putting more focus on the rooms than anything else, though this may get a tad repetitive.. (you could spice up each of these hallways by having signs saying "room 6 this way" and change the music, lighting, etc..)
These are all just ideas. I'm game for whatever is decided! =)
Ya that is a good tip! I think you can also do the same thing when you are copy/pasting something from another map, which definitely makes it faster to place your brushes/entities.
Everyone keep up the good work everyone with these useful tips!

DiscoStu: you could do yours in notepad and i'll compile it for you =). (is it that because you don't own source, your computer can't run it, or none of the above?)
@chickenfist: I love the quality and standard equipment of HTC phones... My Droid Incredible was, well, incredible! A lot of things it did in standard, i have to download apps to get a similar effect for my Droid X..
'(
I still have my old room for this, but i'd be willing to make a new one, fo sho. =)
One thing though, maybe we should add a requirement or at least a suggestion that each room must have some gameplay(combat or puzzle of some sort)? Would make the whole thing WAY more interesting for people to play =). (Maybe, just have it so that in order for you to move from one room to the next, you must find a key or some such)
@Strider: are you administering this one, i.e., will you be combining all the maps together and doing final compiles?

Phone I got: Droid X Verizon Wireless
Phone I want: ?
I've had the Droid X through Verizon Wireless for a couple weeks now.. I like it, but it's a tad to big, and is not easy to hold/type with one hand like my old Droid Incredible. I have no need for 8-megapixel camera nor the ability to shoot video in HD, so i'm thinking about returning it for a Droid 2 Global, or, i may just hold out for the Verizon iPhone in February. I'd also like to hold out for the 4g phones coming out(will the verizon iPhone be 4g?), but who knows when they'll be released (droid bionic, thunderbolt, etc)

640 x 480 is the sort of resolution supermarket cash registers had 5 years agoLOLOLOLOLO

if i need a specific texture i would use the Gimp and cgtextures.com because it is not as easy as u think to create a texture from the scratchHell ya, i've tried making textures from scratch and they look worse than the original HL.... the only way i can "make" decent textures is by editing photographs... thanks for the CG Textures link!

@soup: i tried downloading your alien blast mod but the link is not workie

edit: is this yours with the weird installer:I'll do my neighborhood for a couple chupa chups lollies.. =)

HAIL!
Psilous brings up a good point: it appears your command parameters are possibly incorrect, at least, mine are different and they work fine:
+sv_cheats 1, developer 1
Even then, i don't think entering those commands wrongly would give you that "missing dll" error... Post your Game Configurations and Build Programs if you want, as i think the problem is more likely to be in there. I would also recommend using SUBST command to shorten you steam paths, making your filenames more manageable to troubleshoot. (if you haven't already)
Also too, as i think you already know, having hammer launch the game for you is generally not a good idea, as hammer 3.x is buggy and unreliable at as it is, and the less you let it do the better.. =)
Potato: sorry i ninja'd your post! ='(

oi it's been a long time since i had any errors like that in GoldSrc, but i'm guessing a configuration error. (did you just setup/configure hammer?) Try combing through these and see if you can figure it.
The other(easier imo) way is to use Muzz's compilator, which is much easier to set up imo.. =)

Sorry you are right, reviews read much better looking not like Dimbark's application =)
Does that mean not using words like I, I've, etc when describing your experience/opinion/criticism of the map?
I'm willing to do mv moderator if i qualify. I would also apply for motm position, but i don't really have the time to do it properly.

* Deletes spam maps/comments when necessaryshouldn't be a problem doesn't seem like people do that all that much here anyway.
* Fixes old/dead links to maps (if possible) when neededI'm kinda doin this already and in the past, as i would try to find mirrors for dead links in the mv, and post them in the entry's comment section.
@kdunivan: I don't really see anything wrong with his old proof-of-concept screens, in-fact, i think they are all pretty ambitious and top-quality stuff for the goldsource engine, but that's just my opinion. (2nd round of pics looks really nice too, even with the fair amount of old golsource textures..)
I understand there is always gonna be lots of negative criticisms to a new mod just starting out, considering the failure rate, but hopefully we can prove you wrong and possibly recruit some of the more experienced mappers here, when we have some real content to show you! =)
If nothing else it's nice know the more experienced people here will be available\willing to answer questions and offer support to us, through the forum and irc, as they always have. TWHL is one of the "nicer" and more helpful forum sites i've ever seen.

yeah rim i what is wrong with a project leader that has final say in everything? Without that, it's hard for a large group of people to get anything done (at least in my experience).
I also don't see anything wrong with no salaries, as many really good 3rd-party mods are 100% volunteer. you may have to pay someone to code though, since coders are pretty hard to come by...
I have extensive experience in goldsource, and are currently making progress with learning the source engine. I can also model a little with max and i still want to try my hand at roadkill for skinning (graciously brought to my attention by rimrook =))
Soe, i'm in if you could use me <sends email>.

thanks guys! i used the logic_compare entity (from the article soup mentioned) and added the outputs to my button to change the prop_dynamic skin when the button is pressed, and it works great =)
New problem: when i first installed the light_spots, they were very bright (i have a lot of them, each with a brightness of 200). Now that they are triggered by the switch, inexplicably, they are MUCH dimmer. In the following pic, the only differeance from one map to the next is i deleted the name of the light_spots so they are always on (instead of togglable when they are named):
Any idea why naming/triggering the light would cause it to lose so much brightness? I suppose it is not a big deal, i could always just boost their brightness values, but i'm still curious why this would happen...

i'm pretty new to source modeling so please excuse my noob1
i'm working on a cs:s map with long rows of fluorescent bulb fixtures, with light_spots under each fixture, controlled by a toggle button. when the lights are turned off the models seem to emit there own light.
is there a way to turn this off or do i have to change to another model?

what is the distinction of using proppering them as opposed to making them func_illusionary or func_detail? i've esperimented with Propper a little bit, and propper models near as i can tell render same as brush entities..
checked and i actually got this. (found it in a very old "to do" maps folder..) lemme know how it is!

Epic list potato i'm combing through it now! did u upload all this?!
WANTED! I haven't played that mod in like 10 yearsMa's not feeling well better call the undertaker! =P
i can finally use my portable HL again which wasn't supported by vista x64 YAY! I like to have it for 2 main reasons: my steam HL is on another account (so switching back and forth is annoying); whenever offline mode is not available for whatever reason..
i love everything about it better than vista except it doesn't support xp/vista desktop toolbars. I opted for ObjectDock as a replacement as you can see, but i'm not to happy with it.. Once i get the hang of using libraries i probably won't care..
Huntey: wow that is really cool and perfect for a double-screen desktop =)
