Trigger happy is a good map - its one amp that rendomly generates gruns in various locations - give it a try - its fun - and replayable

lol geus kol wanna be a admin

like slayer said before me slayer and ministver and the only people on the wolrd mo read readmes

yeah lol c2a3 ore what about a red grey color combination

thats hwo it shall be said god,allah,boedha and any other god especialy hammer god

told ya so

nope, got it. my water is now...well, water.

how bout hl textures?

u WANTED 2 go 2 school? 2 things here: 1. u would rather go 2 school than eat, sleep, drink, map and play around with ur overheatin comp.
2. October holidays.

No idea, sorry. Don't feel well anyway, and very bored, I wanted to go to school today and now I'll be behind on cowo and stuff

and everything inside the water cube is gone! i tp in and im in the void!

? what u mean u ahv 2 pull out cos the threads about the compo? and dont give ur stuff away like that! hink if sum1 wins with ur stuff. every1 will hav put so much effort in2 it, and the winner just took his stuff from sum1 else.

Since this thread's about the compo: I'm gonna have to pull out prolly
Shame, anyway: anyone want the sound files I've edited so far? I was doing Romeo and Juliet

I mean the brush trigger_once. (Is there a point-based one?) If you are getting teleported and the trigger isn't triggering, double-check your target field in the trigger_once.

all my water has turned solid! anything inside it acts like a block thats not been hollowed! and my water was fine yesterday and it wasnt hollow!

umm...a little off topic?

u mean brush trig 1nce or point trig 1nce cos i got brush and it not workin

New game called savage on http://s2games.com/savage/ - how do i map for it?

Anyone tried the Waste when it's was released?

No... I think this is a tiling texture that doesn't look the same in 3D as it does when compiled. Some textures that begin with - are specific tiling textures. There are normally 3 or 4 in a set. So there will be -0brick -1brick -2brick and so on.
In Hammer when you choose one, it looks ok in the 3D window, but when you compile the game engine adds the rest of the texture set to the wall using the properties you have set, face or world. Getting this right can be a real pain.... you can play with the textures till you get it right, find a non tiling texture (as there normally is one of the same name that is similar) or you can just use Wally to convert them to non-tiling textures by renaming them and removing the -

Welcome back NinjaGrinch....
Answer correct as always.

Jester since your going to read this , I think your test3 texture problems are due to the fact that you are using tiling texture? Is that the problem... looks good in the 3Dview, but doesn't look the same after compile? Have a look at texture types in ITB 3 as you are using textures from a set.

Place the trigger_once right under the info_t_d. Then when the player gets teleported, he hits the trigger once.

I moved it into the example maps section...
Seemed to be a better place for it, but I would prefer it to be hosted externally...
Thanks for the useful tool anyway.

No not so good.
That's how it is,
func_tracktrain shall always build in direction of 180 degrees (be facing west).
When the map start it will move to the first path_track and placing itself to facing the second path_track.
func_tracktrain shall have a origin brush, and the origin brush tell the func_tracktrain how it be orient to the path_track.
func_tracktrain shall always follow a track of path_track.

I?ve got to add one more Mod to the list... This one is pretty cool, some sort of Blue Shift. Name?s Azure Sheep (sure you know it).
It?s quite big (about 100 mb, I think) but really deserves it.

Cons: Too much hallways, quite hard when playing in Hard mode.

Pros: Loads of action :D. Nice new models. Overall idea.

so if he builds the train in lets say 90 degrees angle and the first path_track is 270 degrees, the train will automatically face it?

Perhaps its your DELL computer that is the problem...hehe

hahaha!

u can read the txt that came with it. that tells all.

stenin,stenin stenin stenin. why? why forbid me when it only increases my curiosity? ive been, and i se no one ripping anyone. all i see is a load of crap jokes and screwed up pics(animated).

how do u get the info_t_d 2 target the trigger once? it dont hav a target thing (less its just spirit)

another thing to not is that the train gets 'teleported' to the first stop point and faces the next one

Yep, NinjaGrinch is right > Why are you not using Merl's Custom build of ZHLT?

if there is no visible 'hole' on your level that's making the leak, make sure that all point entities are incide the level and not in the void - origin brushes outside maps are also a common culprit and remember : brush based entities do NOT block vis or seal leaks only world brushes do!

I wouldn't say you're screwed. You should be able to just change your func_train and path_corners into a func_tracktrain and path_tracks.
Refer to the entity guide for help filling in all the tracktrain properties:
http://cariad.co.za/twhl/entityinfo.php?ent=func_tracktrain&game=1

takes a deep relaxing breath
I am in control...I am in control...

OK then, your problem is two fold:

First, your level has a leak, as evidenced by the first 5 lines of the bsp log:

Second, you're using the OLD OLD OLD qtools that are with out a doubt the single-biggest source of compile problems that new mappers have. You need to use Zoner's tools, the latest version of which can be found here: http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?go=mhlt

Really? Happened to me many times before

Just believe me ministeve. You don't want to go there.

So theres no way to make the direction turn with path_corners? I'mso screwed...
