Archie's tips are good, except one: tracktrains should be built to face west (180) in the top view, not east.
Just tried Sledge a bit for the first time. Looks and feels great, I'm really looking forward to this maturing.
Found one issue: setting invert y-axis for the 3D view does not change the way the mouse behaves (still non-inverted).
Also I would love it if light_spot had optional cones projecting from the entity showing the inner and outer angles. I believe Hammer 4 has this feature and I would adore you forever if this was added to Sledge. I love me some light_spots.

In Goldsource mods, yes. In standard Half-Life, no.
I agree with 2much. Monsters from monstermakers sometimes work in my experience but not always. I've had to resort to teleporting in many types of adversaries before. Not elegant but neither is Goldsource.
The ZHLT light flags apply to textures with { transparency rather than brushwork itself.That's generally not true. The lightflags were added to give control over the shadows cast by all brush entities, not just ones with the masked textures (the { prefix). The flags do apply to brushwork.
Does the brush thickness affect it perhaps?
I would think the Hotkey List in the Hammer help is the best official list.
Ctrl-tab isn't listed, and I couldn't get it to do anything in Hammer. Care to share?

Yeah I think twhl has become a refuge for a lot of us Goldsrc mappers over the years.
I wanted to make sure everyone knew about this. Phillip is running another mapping competition, but this time it's for Half-Life and the Goldsource engine. The contest is for Black Mesa style maps that haven't been previously released.

Deadline is April 2nd. Hope to see a lot of entries, we Goldsource lovers are a dwindling breed.

Exactly, use a func_train - it won't bounce back.
To my knowledge a reliable method of protecting decompiling doesn't exist, at least in the HL1 engine. In any case, you can't protect from people looking at your entity setup.
Hi guys,
Figured there might be some interest in this around these parts. Mapcore is holding a short (72 hour only) challenge to make a Half-Life deathmatch map with the superb textures from the defunct mod HL: Nightwatch. Starts tomorrow (Friday, July 1) and runs the weekend.

Hi srry, yep I'm still kickin around the HL scene. Haven't been able to produce much lately but still aim to.
Yet another VERC lost soul here. Though I've been here a while and have been checking in on TWHL for a long long time.
