lol :stopthespam:
Gates is sick - seventh you just planted a disturbing image in my head
well andy pretty much said everything i was going to (or at leats was going to think of writing)
the 'skip' texture can be extremely handy - with hint brushes etc..
i'm still looking for a tutorial on hints that's usefull to most mappers and not just the hardcore that's been here since the quake days

you'll love KINGPIN 
good sound advice
and leekmark places an invalid brush entity, not texture

thx man ill try thats kinda complicated a bit but ill get it
Before I work into the Keys tutorial I wanted to ask a question.
I?m working on something that COULD be called a mod (note that I said could since It?s my first work and I?m sure that it sucks...) and I?m afraid that it may be bigger than the 2mb that the server allows to upload.
Since I don?t have any server (or knowledge about servers) where I could upload this mod, would it be possible to release it in, lets say, two separated zips?.
That?s all.
Thanks.

no1 ever listens 2 me...
Mmm, Yeah I fell for this early on in the game...
Any brush that is assigned a texture regardless of the type of texture will be rendered by the engine. If the engine has to render the texture on a brush even if it won't be visible in the game then the poly count will go up. AAATRIGGER is only "unseen" when it is applied to an entity. So if you apply it to a normal brush, then it will be rendered and you will see it.
Confused yet?
Entities do not increase r_speeds, models and textured brushes do ! So there are no savings by using the AAATRIGGER texture on an entity, it is there to make it easier to find your triggers and buttons in Hammer.
There are some savings by using the SKY texture on brushes that can not be seen by any player, but I have yet to prove the theory, and the Null texture works well also, but the place to use this is on roof's and unaccessible rooms.... Caution though, you can stuff this up, as I did last night :
My advice for what it is worth, is to map like there is no tomorrow, compile often, and check the speed. If it starts to go over 600, then look at the areas of possible saving. For a unique insight look at the tutorial called R_speeds

i love stealth! any1 know a good stealth mod? believe me, i can b stealth on all games, mgs2, splinter cell, paerfect dark, gta, pac-man,pong,asteroids(hide at the edge and snipe the asteroids!)
yeah, get on the wrong side of me ull hear language u wouldnt use 2 ur own dear mother (come 2 think of it, in fact, u wouldnt use it 2 any1 less u thought gettin ur teeth punched out was a cheaper alternative 2 the dentist)
lol spoon, ur such a spoon! 
yeah.. maybe he is on a break...or he hates us... hates us or on a break... ! or hates us AND on a break! (redvsblue copy again.) :
if its the leakmarker then, it sucks. i cannot use it, so it is crazy. period.
Ehh, acording to the readme file the program is sposed to find the LEAK and place an invalid texture and brush to it. I'm sposed to get at least 1 error message from Hammer, but I'm not getting a single one, why?
Hmm... I'm stuck somewhere in Darkstar. That mod is a bit complicated, not always knowing what to do. Well, guess I'm a straight forward shootist.
i.e. check yer mail, jester an' snake
Anyone else want the LeakFinder? No myth!
no, he said he's taking a break.. we all deserve one.. especially after doing this site
The HL SDK [full one, you might want blackcat to download it :)] has all the models ready-decompiled - think they're Milkshape-compat, I can find out if you want?
it is.. buy it
hey! I said, I'm totally against this! hugs gates poster 
catch the sarcasm? :
catch the sarcasm? :
hmmmmmm. Atom musta died, or just started hating us
So I should just buy milkshape? I've been considering it, it seems pretty cheap for such a great program.
but, but, but, but...I WANNA PART 2!
i ment tell us all what the situation is with spirit and compo maps
hmm. you can have invisible enemies behind func walls > with the render mode set to solid and render amt to 255 > this usually works
its kinda complicated so i tell you what > i'll bang up a quick example map

i think you mean the Z axis... ie when looking down on it or looking up ?
the center if the origin brush determines the point of turning - it makes no difference what shape it is > the compiler automaticaly gets rid of all of the 'brush' during a compile and the set model centers retains the pointof the axis.. blah blah blah...
if you leave the two flags empty : x and y the fan spins arround the z axis > hl uses the left hand rule for the yaw pich roll / x/y/z thing - don't take my word for it i may be wrong about this, i probably am..
any way, i hope that helps

dont kill this post! I started it!
Posted an uptade of test3
w0000!
mayb a monster_jump? and the brush can b any but make it a func_monsterclip ent.
how can i use a brush based entity that will be attacked by monsters, but without requiring them to destroy it (namely getting headcrabs to jump up and down on the spot - I'm adding a humorous disco type thing into one of my levels)
i've heard more offencive things from you ministeve 
so i think this is well within the moral limit

i bet the guy who stole it was sum little nerd with the latest technology and posters of bill gates all over his room...and is 36 but looks 12 and lives in his parents basement which he calls "hacker central". i know its probably a little exaggerated but thats just my way of describing nerds.

so i can keep it? dleicious, i tell they.
Danke sch?n (Thank you very much on German)
look, gearbox had the original models (uncompiled) all they did was add the extra anims. and submodels and coded them in to the mdl... and all the rest of the model stuff...
Milkshape does all of this of course, it has a small price to pay for such a prog. really...
