WOW! Sounds like a great mod!

Thanx Tlax, but how do I chage func_wall back to a solid?
About the textures, I changed the names of some textures because HL (or Hammer) placed the some textures att wierd places. Anyways I'll send the .wad as soon as I'm finished with test3

I'm not thinking of using a server company for this. Reasons? Like you said: Money. But maybe someone of us could put up one from time to time.

looks like we need a private server then. I check around for that. BUT it can't obviously be up 24:7. So we have to have a set GMT time.

Men Men sn?lla ( But but please JesteR)
You have do the hole map to func_wall????
It only a few brusher is normal. You can't have a entity out in the void or as a wall to the void, there you have the leak.
And you have a textur as coming up white that textur is not in H-L.wad so you must send it with the map in a wad.file or do the compiling with wadinclud.

The scientist models in OpFor are the same as the ones in the original HL. But they have a few new animations, and in this case, 2 extra submodels: Einstein w/ Clipboard (Walter in hi-def) and Slick w/ stick. Did gearbox software actually remodel the scientist entirely just to add a few new animations and 2 new submodels? It looks suspiciously exactly the same basic model. And it seems like a hell of a lot of work, getting the sci to look the same. How did they do it? I'd like to know 'cos my grunts need a new animation in my mod, and barney needs a few extra heads. Anyone got any ideas?

Aah, never knew about gl_clear 1 ... thanks
also another good command is gl_wireframe 2 > for tweaking visibility

uhhu..
pepper you started this post as far as i know...

thats against the rules of chatbear you do realise....

what? :S
just early

heh, thank god for insomnia

that was my point

Whoa, thanks for gl_clear 1!!

yes, i've noticed this also, 'Anonymous' doesent seem to appear...

hehe, I like it
doesn't mean you can have it though

thats not swearing, thats a crap an funny pun - puns are ok...

lol, love the pic!

You could try loading the pointfile and tracking it down that way.

This from the help file/ http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?go=leaks

"Make sure that mapname.pts is being copied into the valvemaps folder along with the compile map (you'll have to move it manually otherwise). The .pts file contains a set of coordinates that form a line of dots that should lead you to the leak. To load the pointfile in the game, bring down the console and type pointfile.
You will see a message similar to 1050 points read, and you should see something similar to the above picture. (You may have to run about your level to find it).

The default engine limit is 2048 points, which may not be enough to trace a line to the leak in your map. If this is the case, start Half-Life at the command prompt with "hl -particles 10000" (or some higher number) to allow the engine to display more particles, and thus trace a longer line to help you find your leak.

When you've loaded the pointfile, type "noclip" to allow you to walk through walls and "r_fullbright 1" to make the map bright so you can see everything. (If you're using Zoner's compile tools, the map will already be fullbright since the RAD process didn't run.) If there are monsters placed in the level, typing 'god' and 'notarget' at the console will make things easier as well. The 'notarget' command causes monsters not to become hostile to your presence, and 'god' makes you immune to damage of any sort. If you noclip outside the level, it might also be useful to type 'gl_clear 1' in the console. This will turn the void into a solid color, rather than the mess that it will be if you're using the glide or opengl renderer.

Once you find the line, follow it. It bounces all over the place, goes in screwy directions, both inside and outside the level. At some point, it will pass through a hole in the walls of your level. There's your leak."

Hope it helps.

D4rKM4tch, sky textures are not like regular textures, the little 16x16 light blue texture called SKY that you use in Hammer simply tells Half-Life to load the environment map that is specified under Map Properties (Map menu>Map Properties...>Environment map(cl_skyname)).
A list of the default skymaps included with Half-Life is here:
http://www.annihilator.com/gameediting/halflife/editing/hl_skytextlist.html
The ACTUAL environment map is composed of 6 TGA bitmap files which are stored in the directory 'modnamegfxenv' and have the names blahup, blahdn, blahlt, blahrt, blahft, blahbk, where blah is the name of the environment map that you specify in Map Properties.

If you're using Steam, the environment maps, like the rest of map resources have been hidden inside a cache file, and aren't accessible anymore. BUT you can still add new environment maps like always by creating the gfxenv directory in 'SteamSteamApps<youremailaddress><GAMEname><mod_directorygfxenv' and copying whatever environment map TGA's you want into it.

It's fairly difficult to make a good looking sky map, but if you search the web, there are plenty of good ones you can download:
http://www.google.com/search?q=half-life+sky+maps

P.S. the terms 'sky map' and 'environment map' have been used interchangeably here.

hey man wtf where does it say 1.00 0 at????

lol haha

can anyone send me some sky textures and some water textures? :

i was told we wasnt allowed swearin on the forum posts. since my av isnt actually a POST, is it allowed?

yay! cam tut! and now my appreciation:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^_^

now it WOULD b good 2 edit posts cos when i said im insomniac i 4got 2 put or . and i tink a few buttons u can click stead of typin the b/ stuff cos i never get it right. and if not editing i could move the b/ 2 /b (if thats wrong...)

me wanna part 2! shame, we dont need it as good as archvilles, just understandable enough so us poor little peeps can av sum nice little pics in a mod.

would b helpful 4 testing mp maps but like u said, who is gonna cough up the dough hides bulging wallet . i think atoms got enough 2 do than pay 4 sum ppl he hardly (and doesnt) know 2 get a private server 4 hl.

Just like that.
'thought I's'd mention it

No, sorry [idiocy strikes again] ignore that crap [man, was I preoccupied]: just usernames - you can only have server passwords,

rofl

I can't believe I did that! :

yeha a lof of money at least 30$ a month so why should we. and what game then?? i think it should be hl cause thats what this site is based on isnt it??

oh great can i kill you then to ???you are so cruel kol. how can oyu killl you a topic you started your self.8( (snik snik. pepper very said)

mozilla firebird is better

i think he ment using the twhl server?
maybe.. but servers take time and effort and as jester said - money

[url=www.opera.com]Opera[/opera]
cheers

lol, another satisfied customer

YEAH!!! except the activation. which I did lots of. o yes.

Interesting idea, except for the lack of usernames on servers
Uh, and pamyment?

Sure, if you can pay for the server...hehe

Yellow mapers! I got a Leak on my map (test3). I've tried everythig, even the block trick. Can someone check it out, I'll upload a .rmf on the problem section. One more thing, let me now if the textures are not the same in HL as in Hammer.

Check the texture application (on the toolbar to the left), make sure that the texture size look something like this 1.00 0

1.00    0

XP RULES!

I use windows XP. And the problem's caused by leaving my comp. on standby (Sleep mode). It's fixed by restarting my computer.

And you can always come to #Vassy as well, if you like spam. However, there is a three spam limit, although every so often I will allow seven for no obvious reason. If you spam more than 3 or 7 times, you are kicked and banned for 2 minutes. Not a real punishment, but dead annoying! And people who want to help me are always welcome!

hey how do you make the sky texture one great pig texture becuase when i create my sky it has just a bunch of like 64x64 textures is there a way to make it 1 texture or like 4 something low?

thx guys your awsome

I guess i could... (noted).

what browser?

Just as an idea. A private hl gaming server for everyone in twhl. Login and password like you log in to this site. What do you think?
