what happend to your av?
Yep
Clownfish typz0r3d:Dunno - what're your specs? Could be old/bad graphics drivers/DirectX.
Am I just short on RAM?
Why do so many people confuse the words "random" and "miscellaneous"? They're rather different! Miscellaneous was what u meant there 
ok its unbelevible but i actually made a ambient_generic work, but its not looped?
how do i make it looped!? i thought it was auto-looped...

move your mouse about in the 2d view (top for example)
the first two numbers correspond with the first two in the compile log - the third one is the 'depth if you will,
btw,
hammer also has a go to brush number feature... but you can't use it to find visleaf problems, just problem brushes

hm how do u credit one for the texture? write in the readme that "comes with the map"?
The mod I'm working on is in the unfinished stuff vault. Grab it and comment. Download the addon too...

and some opera guy got his nuts cut of when he was a child...wasnt that like "usual" in the 15th-16th century? so that the little kid wouldnt go into puberty and have a sweet voice?
weird anyway
Bob marley is worst. He smoked like a chimney and he didn't deny it.
my ambient_generics never work and ill never understand them.
i know the solution:
find a screwdriver
open the chassi
pour down gasoline or some other flammable liquid
drop down a match
see the miraclework
??????????????????
ok i really dont know

i posted the log file for my map which has this saw leaf problem, but ive never understood those co-ordinates properly, and as im near completion of my map i dont wanna have to delete too many brushes which i think may be causing the problem, does anyone have a link to a site which tells me which co-ordinates are what, like depth, length etc.,
thanx.
thanx.
Not really, but sometimes I get an error from Hammer and it shuts down.
But that's like 4 times a year. Sometimes I get a message, like: Couldn't find OpenGL Driver. But that's only when I shut down Hammer.
Well your problem sounds strange, I don't think it's the RAM, cause I used Hammer on my old PC (100Mhz, 8Mb RAM). Except that it went a bit slow. (Hmmm...a bit?)

Everytime I start Hammer after starting up the computer, it crashes! Then I open it again, and it's ok.. Anyone else have this problem? And sometimes, video-updating with the 2-d views gets messed up and Ill have to restart the computer to make it work... Am I just short on RAM?
... ehum (cough).. I don't even need.... (sorry for interrupting myself) .... I was about to say that.... whatever, I was wrong about it so I won't say it. Never mind...
Checked it out, and that spirit-stuff sounds cool! Only that I'm making a multiplayer-game, and I don't want to risk that it won't work on computers with no spirit!
So, I'll stick to the default "rail-elevator"-sound (or whatever it was) for my train for know, and when I find I nice train - .wav I'll try out a string of ambient_generics as JB suggested. I don't even need

i WOULD make a screenie but it takes too much work sorry
no, prefabs are to the right of the window, in a little box named "move selected", there u can choose what to create

yeah, got it last night. I'm still trying to get my head round it. It seems more geared towards Quake than HL tho or is that just me gettin the wrong end of the stick!!!
As far as I know it's not possible with HL (pleese correct me if im wrong)
But here's a random and completely untested idea: if your desperate, you could have a seperate ambient_generic for every path_corner... and link the "fire on pass" property of each path corner to an ambient_generic that plays only once. It's fiddly and inconsistant, but if you're desperate...

actually you'll get a better site when people aren't flamed, as this makes more people wan't to join.
hello recently i have replaced worldcraft v3 with v5 (hammer) but even with the same configurations in the options menu i no longer can create chairs desk lamps or crates as well as other things like radom solids, where are they?, do i have to make them my self now?
Have you heard of Wally? It's a program for making your own Qua- >AHEM< I mean, Half-life textures with!
or even better converting bmp's, jpg's etc to hl textures! get it at www.telefragged.com/wally/ (how do u post url's with this thing? :|)

Actually while we're on the subject does anyone have any good links to sites that have loads of extra wads that I can dl and add in to hammer? I'm doing a door at the moment and the bog standard textures you get with hammer just aint enuff!
Ta once again!
Ta once again!
cheers guys! it all seems so simple when someone else points it out to you! 
Well, but I'd like the sound to MOVE with the source, as when a func_train moves. You can't move around ambient_generics, right? That's why I'd like to put a sound into the list of "move sounds" etc. But maybe it's not possible?
Originbrush? I though you only needed that for rotating things!... Need it for func_trains as well? Cool, that would help!
To Make a custum sound you would have to trigger an ambient_generic (If youre using plain-ol HL)
-that was me btw... How'd I log out? Oh well...
its called the "toggle-texture-application" tool. select the face u want changed, choose a texture from the list then click "apply". u might want 2 resize it also. what i do is click "fit" then change the X scale to 1.00. if u want more than 1 wall done hold ctrl and click all the faces, tick "treat as one" and do all the otherstuff i mentioned. treat as one is used 4 things like when u carve a door and the wall gets fragmented. also go with JB. i didnt read "in the beginning" and now i have no idea what an info_node is.
isnt that a spirit feature? i dunno. mayb u link 2 a sound of ur own.
This sounds like a problem from a few months ago - does the '_train have an origin brush in the middle? Needs to be grouped with the train itself. Btw, an origin brush is just a brush textured with the ORIGIN texture.
for func_trains, doors, buttons and such? How do you do it? :
this happened 2 me in a p**saround spirit map i made. try and not make your train head in a straight line for 2 long, c if that works.
I didn't know I could do that! Yea, I might do that then... But I don't have my map with me now... Later...
Weird. Can you put it in the problem maps so someone can take a look?
Use the little tool for that purpose! (Symbol looks like a cube with a single textured side). Leftclick on surfaces you want to handle, rightclick to copy this texture to other surfaces. Easy! 
Read Andy's handy-dandy tutorial's called "In the beginning"! You would want to look at part 3 but I suggest you read the lot
Hiya peeps,
Im new to all this so be gentile with me! How do I texture one side of a brush. i.e. I'm creating a room and a corridoor and I want a different texture on the wall as you come out of the room to the texture on the wall in the room...if that makes any sense!
hope you can help!
Cheers dudz!

Hi!
I have this func_train, that actually is a train. I basically want it to move back and forth and wait some in each end of a tunnel. Now, on ONE side of the tunnel, it LOOKS like the train stops instead of continuing to its path_corner at the end of the tunnel. I checked it out in the game, but the SOUND from the train continues to the end of the tunnel and the seemingly stopped train is actually illusionary and not solid. Then, on the way back, the "real" (invisible) train meets the illusionary and picks it up, behaving real nicely til the other side and back.
What is this crap!?! A bug somewhere? Can't I have long paths?

Thanx guys, that's some good and reasonable advice!
Upload it into the unfinished stuff vault and link this topic to it. I'm sure alot of people will help you. I'll help you too, if you'd like.

Decals can be used as textures. However they look pretty ugly as the white background turns black in-game.
And almost all rock musicians are druggies
I mean, my favourite pianist's (John Cale) first or second album was gunna be called Cocale (duh, I wonder why now). It's got pictures of him falling over in the little CD booklet
