They better add more flexibility with displacements. Because right now you have to be a fucking art major in order to do anything with them correctly.
I hope it looks better than that dev video they released last year.
It's a pre-compile tool. you run the RMF through HLFIX and then compile it. Read the site.
hlfix messedupcube.rmf -r
Save that as like.. cube.bat (save as type from notepad)
and it'll show up like a file with a gear on it. Double click it and it'll run hlfix with your map, and the "-r" outputs it as a .rmf not a map.
BUT if you forget the "-r" extension, it'll output it as a .map, then you can use the wonders of the COMPILATOR to compile your map more effiiently than you can dream.
Usageyou can create a batch file in your maps folder something along the lines of
hlfix <mapname>[.rmf] [options]
Options:
-o <outfile> Output file (default is <mapname>.map or <mapname>.rmf)
-w <wadfile> WAD list file (default is wad.txt)
-r Output to RMF file instead of MAP file
-nt Don't tesselate non-planar faces
-nd Don't decompose non-convex solids
-nu Don't unite coplanar faces
-na Don't perform ANY geometry correction
-v Process and output visible objects only
-e <number> Epsilon factor for numeric comparisons (default is 1.0)
hlfix messedupcube.rmf -r
Save that as like.. cube.bat (save as type from notepad)
and it'll show up like a file with a gear on it. Double click it and it'll run hlfix with your map, and the "-r" outputs it as a .rmf not a map.
YAY! Btw i still havent tried it yet... I was caught up in tring to fix my source entry - which i scrapped. So i'll load it up tonight. SorryAtom. (You'll get your review i promise!)
Make sure you check the technical information, and i believe the COMPILATOR supports HLFIX. I'm not 100% sure
It's a tool that makes sure all your on-grid vertices stay that way when you compile. Else... ^^^^ that happens.
Check the links page? Idk where to locate it right now tho. Maybe a forum or tutorial search would help.

HLFIX!!!

Anyway, cool. I assume they'll make it so every software that's designed for Windows will work under chrome OS.If you read it you would know that's true
I'll definitly do a HD partition with Chrome OS!
I actually can't wait to try it out:)
Hopefully they have 64bit support for it so i can actually USE my 4 gigs of ram.
I love google. I met the 2 founders at a FIRST Robotics Championship =]
HLFIX IS YOUR FRIEND! >.<
I've been getting an object / class error when i load it up. It occurred directly after i selected my steam directory.
I'll get more info on that when i'm home. Along with a screenshot of the error because it happens every time i load the program. Granted it works, but it might be something you'd want to look at anyway.

Lmao 11 hours? Jesus.
Well throw in a skybox, and some cubemaps (make one for the skybox as well) and just compile it overnight, silly =p
my mistake on the 10 min compile thing, I'm tired and at work.

NOO! It's unfinished without a skybox mang. It takes like 20 minutes and a 10 minute compile is NOTHING! At least try. 
The map will look incredibly polished if you add the skybox.
BTW i'm jealous. I can't even get a source map working properly, let alone finish one. Grats.

Nice work Striker.
Have you experimented with the 3-d skybox being completely water?
It's tough to pull off but with proper fog, you can have a seamless transition that looks like it goes on forever.

Yeah. I was gonna mention maprookie.com, but then i forgot. I think the last time i was on it i was checking out your 3ds max tutorials. Which are awesome, btw.
You do have a point tho. The engine IS dated.
Shit, it was old when i started mapping. I'm just waiting for Hl3, or HL2 EP 3. Or something.

Try a system restore to before you uninstalled it, and use add/remove programs. They might say it's stilled installed because you still have games in your steam directory?
Did you name the door? Did you name the buttons? They shouldn't have names.
If that doesn't work, I'm in the same "WTF" boat as you.

lol.. well if anyone wants to track my progress - you may do so.
yeah.. what are the prices for an 8player or 9 player map?
8's like normal isnt it?

but does scaling snap to grid?
Well it's fun. But i'm still getting over the fact that i spent the last 5 days trying to get this ONE thing in my source compo and it didnt work, so i got pisssed off and just started doing it in goldsource. I'm making a lot of progress and i'm getting over the fact i wasted the first 60% of the time. But at least i can make some steady progress now. so ALL IS WELL!
I'm half expecting a surprise entry.
But then again. You're 100% right. This is turning out to be NOT fun anymore
Progress is progress though, and i'm making some headway in the goldsource version. I want to say i'm about 15% done.

I'll donate that laptop i was using. Every little bit helps i guess, right?
Yeah I hope you dont mind but i killed the compile on my end. Maybe i'll load up netvis and help you guys out. But with 4 days stuck at 60%, it wasnt worth it.. Sorry
Tell me about it. That's how the source one turned up. I was sick of booting up the sdk to quit because of frustration.
Progress - 2%
Reason - Fuck source for now i don't have time for it's shenanagins. I'm starting over in goldsource.
Start the clock: 12 days

Hmm... Let me know if you're gonna need more moneys. I'm not paying $10 for nothing, but i'd pay $20 for something 
Donation of 10.00USD Has been Transferred!
So...... Now what.
Yeah i'm getting the same thing.
Yeah but are your verteces on grid?
We can't directly credit your account with a credit card?
Yeah! Maybe i'll actually make a HLDM map now!
It depends on if we get the server too lol.

So that means my cousin can have his laptop back?
I'm sorry hotdog, but i think you broke half-life with that map.
Is there a way you can add some hints in there to cut down on vis-leafs?

Hurry up and post the paypal crap.
I'm itching to spend this $10 for the greater good of TWHL
Even if the server lags a bit, we can still get quality play-testing and troubleshooting in with our maps.

I think:
I don't care.

I'll give you guys $10.00USD if the server will be up for a year.
I'll paypal it to you folks.
Idk if i can do it from work, but definitly from home
Send me a PM with the info.
I swear to god.
Actually lmao i have an iphone right here.
HLDM or HL2DM doesn't matter to me. I don't have any maps made for either that are worth playing.

no. I'm getting the error 34 times - exactly the same number of env_glows i have in my map..
The error doesnt DO anything, but it's really annoying in dev mode to have my triggers be replaced with "Non-Sprite set to glow!" within 2 seconds of being displayed. (Dev mode, up top left corner)

Yep My compile hasn't moved.
still 13300 - 60%

HL CSG will compile if you consolodate your textures, and shrink the un-necessary ones.
And take off nowadtextures
And take off nowadtextures
The only sprites i have in my map are env_glows with the default sprite set up.
Only thing i did was change the render mode to additive and set the fx amount to 255
why do i keep getting this error when i dont even have anything set to glow?

I always used the pointfile.
If that doesnt work, i hide everything except for the void-sealing brushes, and i fly around in hammer until i find something.
That's only after the pointfile doesn't work.

Holy crap why don't i have this!?
Must download now. But wait! I'm at work!
Woe is me

I Think it's still open. El Capitan never said it was closed.
You can personally thank TWHL's own: THE MIGHTY ATOM
He coded the program himself.
I just spread the love.
I'm guessing it worked for you"

Yeah. That pirate ship needs crazy optimization that i really don't feel like doing right now. Maybe I'll inclue it in my Castle Disposed project.
We'll see what happens after the compo comes to a close.
I'll see if I even want to open hammer again.

Yeah i basically lost all hope for my source map. I'm getting a leaf portal saw error that I cant fix. The compile toos tell me to run... some compile command but i really have no clue.
If you're good with source troubleshooting, could you take a look at my error thread in the source section? My map compiles but the error makes all the lighting look like utter shit, and the water doesn't show up and i'm losing all motivation because it's just crap. Crap crap crap crap.
If i can't get this to work, I might just hack something together in goldsource
It's probably not going to look good either....
Damn source engine. It will be my destruction

Yes. Weapon stripping is taking place after each level.
It's already part of the Teleport back sequence.
