Glizard is a combo of Ground and lizard. No relation to metroid except for its shell-like nature, which is common for the basic enemies in metroid, which are mostly animal-like.

Here's another.

Sorry, forgot to shrink it down. :( I'm just sorting through what I need and posting a lot of what is really going in besides the obvious.
Man, have you been living under a rock?
Kinda, the HL engine is old so I thought it wouldn't support that size.

As far as HL2 quality maps, I don't think I'll push it that far. I'll only do scales at 50% on floors and close walls and stuff. But I need to experiment with that a little bit, see what can be done.

Do I even need to worry about the zipfile size when this is done? I assume not so much, since people are awfully patient when it comes to pirating stuff... :/

Is it possible to play the jump animation again when you wall jump and double jump. It could fix some of the tackiness, especially with a newer jump animation it could look slick.

Whats the address for the mapping guide? I'd like to try this once...

For leaks, I usually encase most of my maps in solid squared-off geometry so the hairline leaks are covered up. Look at Alpestrine, wierd little faces are all over underneath the map. This way, you can continue whether or not you have found the actual leak. If you want to, you can continue to find the odd faces later.

I figured as much, but even I have a pretty low laptop and it still runs things much later than HL smoothly, i.e. Halo on max detail.

Multiplayer maps with 3000+ polies is outrageous still... Remember that this is a singleplayer mod.

Yeah... it rams into you with its sharp beak. Guess it should look sharper but i'll fix that when I get around to modelling it. Not going to redraw it all over again with a sharper head. I already heard the Dodongo comment from people around school.

This little guy will add some fun to the 6D scene. I'm not going to spoil it either... like i mentioned i have plans.

Also, I found out that Models can have textures skins at 512x512 and not look like crap. So I would like to make all of my models with high-res skins.

Another question: should I make high-res maps as well? like 1900-2100 wpolies with scaled up textures for more detail? What can i get away with?

I know you may safely go up to 512x512. but the engine compensates the large texture size with downgrading its quality. Its ok if you need to cover a large area and you don't care much for the texture quality. But if thats the case, go with four 256x256 textures. That way you keep your quality.

Actually the compensation thing might differ with steam.

I always liked the one when the space shuttle goes up, and the song that plays when you first get to Xen.

The basis for the soundtrack in 6D, I relisten to them often.

Also, the song that plays when you get the buggy in HL2 is saved to my MP3 player.

in The all-holy walking animation.. Post #236158
I think their might be a flag or something that is set for movement animations like jumps, dodges, and so on. I would recommend decompiling the Hgrunt model since it had many animation of that sort. Otherwise the animation will 'teleport' like you said. The reason being is that it never really left its original location. You you find out how the grunts do it, the monster's position will be updated to the animation and not the otherwise teleport thing.

I can look into more for you because I'm curious of these animation types as well. Model animation has a lot of power, allowing many of the monster to perform tasks they otherwise wouldn't, like a grunt climbing a ladder, or a zombie busting through glass and falling.

OH OH OH OH OH I KNOW!

Have the compilater be an actual "batch" compiler where the user can make a list of RMF's or MAP files to compile in one run! Also on the list, map an option to choose which map will be loaded and run in HL. For, say, you changed all the monsters in 5 connected maps or something, or you have a load of maps to compile. You could just let it run on auto without having to switch to the next one manually. Get it?

in Possiblities for Portal Post #236011
The Acclaim thing?

the project is going to be finished, but oh how it went downhill after I left, not that my presence improved anything by much, no one was professional about anything so ideas didn't bounce very well... The project was run by volunteers who could be any age btw. The first quarter project thesis was so retarded it makes lego racing look like sex.

I quit outright.

However, I could turn 6D into my senior project when I get there. Which by then could turn into a great gateway for me to get into the industry for many reasons. 6D has many benefits for me in many ways.

Either way, once the code is done it'll be clear to work on it. By the time daubster is done with that, I'll be caught up with my other stuff to work on it freely.

Portal as a puzzle game is like the ultimate use for the portal system. Its very clever to me, if you have a new feature, your mod/game should use it in the ultimate sense. It'd be bad if someone makes a similar mod that's better than the original game.

I feel kinda depressed. I never finished 6D in time to compete with Portal. :zonked:

in How to reduce R_speeds in large map Post #235980
User posted image
A good way to cut r_speeds is to do a full vis compile with a low max node size. If you use a Batch Compiler, these options are easy to turn on and off. (The one I use is Nem's Batch Compiler)

Node sizes are nodes for vis that help load and unload sections of your map. The more nodes the more detailed vis data. Don't be fooled that it will slow down you're map's performance by having more nodes. The more detail, the more of only what you see will be loaded, otherwise in the past, maps loaded in larger sections, resulting in more r_speeds being drawn.
