Yeah - should be pretty simple
LOL, Have you been sleeping the whole year anthony?

I would prefer a model, if you want a nice sphere, if you intend to make a sphere that really looks like a sphere you should use a model, it's better for the r_speeds. 
HANG ANTHONY!!! Just kidding:)
I tried to make an UFO before, but had the same problrm. Try to use as many solids as you can, that should do it
oh well...
So I suck :D.
Making levels out of a big cube is a mistake, isnt it?. I realised it when I did one!!!.

Theres good and bad ways, and then theres just realising that for most intents and purposes you should just use a model.
I am trying to make some sphere shaped objects for a possible competition entry. I've tryed to use Vertex Manipulation but I always end up with an invalid solid structure. And it looks rubbish anyway. Does anyone know a way to make spheres without making new models? Thanks.
its a joint project between me and bigsteve (i mean i make it and he thinks everything up.) which just started construction yesterday. i canty giv u the details this early on but im asking blue 2 retexture and design the inside of a bomber(spaceship).
i exedentily downloaded the fgd once dso if you want it i ahoudl have it somewhere
did you tryed deus ex??
there is no steam beta, its on full alpha release!
what is it about ministeve??
Look on the FA website : they should help you out - after all, they made the thing!
aaaaaahhhhhhh...all is clear...
the cube is a mistake - its an error that winbspc makes
try making levels in the old worldcraft and old compile tools and decompiling them

func_illusionaries (with specific properties and sky brushes will drow the player > the reason for this is, to get some of the other aspects of the game running bug free, thse things really have to be 'non solid' and at the same time contain something...
btw, fog is suppourted in software - have a look ath c2a5 water > FOG!
BUT - no one has been successfull in getting this fog to work 'outside'
i.e. -not in water without resorting to openGL

no way
if you make your server steam beta only i will strangle you

...delicious, i tell they... 
Do NOT make a massive func_illusionary! You'll end up swimming in it and drown eventually for some reason. Dunno why though.
Innit! 
so u mean they couldve just started with a big cube the built inside it?
blue, im postin the stuff 2 ur email now
It also works but decompiling them is a lot more interesting!!!. I mean, it shows how it all was done and gives all kind of ideas... Did you know that most Hl maps are done so the outer walls form a big cube?.
this post is dying...save it
u didnt know about hl2??? points religious object at anthony BACK DEMON! GO BACK TO THE DEEPEST PITS OF HELL!!!
i do get emotional...
i do get emotional...
i dont decompile, i just use noclip 2 take a look behind the scenes...
will we need steam? :
right, i got a top secret project here and i got my hands full with the rest of the map, so 1 bit got neglected. i need sum1 2 design this bit of the map. 1st person 2 post WHO I THINK IS CAPABLE i'll email. remember 2 tell me ur email though.

VERC and Handy Vandal have good tutorials on Hint Brush theory and application. Even I can understand them

This is all news to me.... I didn't even know about a Half-Life 2...
LOL! 
I think the guy who stole the code should be hanged...
?!?
Thanks Andy, and kol. That cleared up a lot (and saved me re-doing a fair bit of work - I like being lazy)...
Anyway and as Ministeve has said many times, a wonderful inspiration and a source of mapping knowledge is in the original HL maps. Decompiling them and then trying to catch the sense of all things that are seen there is really a brain-breaking task, but deserves the time compsumed once you get to know a glimpse of how it works.
Yeah, yeah, I knew it :D. You?re very kind.
?nemas? ?qu? es 'nemas'?
I solved the problem another way. I renamed the textures and then changed to the original name, it sorted it self out. NEMAS PROBLEMAS
I think that last bit got the message through, if you knew me you wouldn't take anythng I say seriously.
Except for that, and this too.

of course you have to include that wad file with your map!
rofps, thought you were serious!

honest, no really, yes, COUGH, NUDGE, WINK, etc
But if you rename the textures, other people must use the same .wad file
because sarcasm isnt a word, honest, no really, yes, COUGH, NUDGE, WINK, etc
all hail our new king!
sounds good!
yeah
