in Compiling modes and differences... Post #3604
-extra (rad) won't improve r_speeds, but makes the lighting look better. -full (vis) will make your compile slower, but it will reduce r_speeds. Lower r_speeds = faster map. You should always do a full vis on anything you plan to release.

Well, here?s a good one...
Having learnt things about building a map and making it both working and playable a question comes to mind...
I started doing complex architecture... Well, sort of, it?s more like too many brushes to be seen (reducing those r_speeds, I?m afraid, but still the map runs smooth (more or less) on my K7600))... The thing is that I?m afraid of my map running too slow to pack the action and so my question comes:
-Is there any differences between making RAD and VIS compile EXTRA and FAST instead of NORMAL?. Will my map run faster or just compile faster?. Well, that?s the thing.

Read somewhere that the player must be near the camera area for it to work. Besides, Gordon is seen when the camera is triggered and... I don?t like it!.

Ok I looked at the site, 'wowee' someones creating a 'real' counterstrike map. Isn't that what most of the maps are already? AFAIK they are based on real-world situations or real buildings themselves.

It's only fun if you've been there.

Vassy is right and it also sounds like you need an origin brush tied in with your func_tank. If you haven't checked it out already, there is a tankrocket tutorial in the tutorial section here. It applies to func_tank entities also.

Have you changed the bullet type? The default is no bullets.

in Uplink Machine Gun Post #3592
In HL:Uplink there was a heavy machine gun turret that you could use to kill some grunts. I am trying to create something similar in the mod I'm making. I used a func_tank but when I use it it just suddenly moves forward extremely quickly, sometimes "crushing" me, or it just won't fire. I can get stuff like func_tanklasers to fire right (without sound) but the func_tank dosen't do anything when I fire it. Thanks everyone. :)

dunno. i when i use cams i just have an info_target where i want it 2 point. used that 4 the intro in my tower map. and how is the cam triggered? if its by button then a multimanager activating a teleporter around the button can teleport him, but why do u need him teleported?

right. lighting. is there any errors that occur in the vis or rad like leaks? and have you even placed any lights? if your using ZHLT (you should) then it automatically fullbrights ur map if no lights r placed. nlike zombieloffe said, make sure when u compile that normal is ticked under run rad.

in Going to kill the cameraman... Post #3578
Well, I managed to make my first camera work, it just does a little voyage to stop and let the player see how a door above him opens, so the camera ends its travel looking up... The thing is that when the camera reaches its last path_corner it does little, silly bounces up and down until it finally stays quiet. The original intention was to keep the camera still, without bounces.
How do I do to eliminate those bounces???!!!!!, they?re really gettting me out of my mind!.
By the way, I suppose that if you want to hide the player from view you must teleport him near but to trigger a teleport an entity must MOVE in its area and if the player doesn?t move because the camera took control of him, what do I do?.
Thanks.
Warm regards.

I think is a very strong plus beautiful album, following close the tracks of PURITANIC EUPHORICAL MISANTHROPIA, I like it... Anyway, those strange pseudo-military sound annoy me a little, I thought that the relationships between black metal and political diseases was over, what do you think about that?. I read in an interview with Silenoz that "politics are for the politicians" but these samples annoy me much!.

yes you can ungroup a box! Just open up the .map file in notepad and manually delete all the sides of the box except one, then open the .map in Hammer. Too bad it won't compile :P

in multi-textured brushes Post #3568
select the box and ungroup it... then add the textures to the individual sides...

if that doesnt work..... make the brush hollow with a thickness of 2 and then ungroup it...

hope this helps.....

i couldnt download the file(appeared to be an "invalid file type" or something like that, but describe your problems alittle more
the way to bright problem i had back when i was n00b, it's probably because when you're compiling, the "run rad"?thing is ticked to "no".

func_water, and its a brush entity. You need to set its render mode to texture and render amount to a value around 200 or so. To make it so you can't see through the water when you're in it (meaning so you can't see whats above the water), put a 1 unit thick func_water brush on the very top of the water surface with default properties
