Fixed leak, thanks! :D Hmmmmm. Just now I upgraded Hammer up to v3.5 beta. I also downloaded the new HL .fgd. Suddenly The Portals first map is pitch black,except for the sky. There is a light in the level,but for some reason it's still completely dark. Is it the version of Hammer I've got or is it my build configuration? It seems I always have something trying to halt the process of the mod actually getting built-2 days ago I got the leak, yesterday I hurt my back, and now this! Please help!

pointfile. ingame pointfile is the best way. go 2 console and type "map mapname" without quotes then typesv_cheats 1
. go 2 the map through the console again then type noclip then pointfile and find the line. it goes through the areas with te leak.

'Cos they're lazy: why did a man who should never be able to be killed need death animations/code? Think about it: in HL he's always behind glass, the only time you are face-to-face, "I took the liberty of relieving you of your weapons"...

...same on OpFor ;)

I tried in Opfor to go trough a wall and found the G-man standing in a corner out of sight. It's the part where the osprey leaves without you.
I put 300 rounds of 5.56 in his head and they all bounced off. Why did they make him invurnable?

Shift+E will turn the grid off.
D and C will zoom in and zoom out of all the views.
If you hightlight a brush and Ctrl+E the views will center on that brush.
Apart from hiding the vis groups as panda and kol suggest you can try out the "Toggle auto selection" button on the top tool bar.(Blue dotted square with a little black arrow) Left mouse Drag a square around the area you want to hide, click Toggle auto selection and then click in the square. Everything in the square will turn red (highlighted) and you can hide all of it in one go.

If you are brave you can try to decipher the leak trace from Hammer 3.5. I have solved a few difficult leaks with it, but it isn't exact. Follow the line till it turns red, bright red.... your leak will be there somewhere.
Alternately you can upload the map to the problem map section and see if anyone else can find it?

in advanced compile mode Post #1873
Sorry Vassy, your right... XXX should have been gearbox in both examples... so the Normal compile additional parameters window should contain: -game gearbox (and -dev -console if required)

"map change failed stargate command not found on server.
(stargate command is my map name)"

It is not a good idea to have a space in a map name. And I might be wrong, but I think there is a maximum character length of 15 for a map name, try to reduce your map name, and get rid of the space.
I know it works now..... but this will save problems later.

I think the minimum light level range is .01 through 1.0, I've always been able to adjust it to where I need it. It's great for lighting func_trains that are hidden in a separate room until triggered.

creative use of the chatterbox! never thought of that

thanks.. but its kinda hard posting new up, because you have to edit almost everything.. and whats gonna happen to the blue box?

I've started on a new project - a very cool one - which should be ready pretty soon. It should, at least, be a more original concept than the chatterbox.
:P

good luck... the box is certainly popular... i got one with id no 30 or something.. a week later i got another one and it was 250 or so!

Ever tried the sample maps? They're pretty good. I like the scourge splitters one, in the complex with the various items like bag of cash, but it's tricky. And the TS2 multiplayer is just as good as perfect dark's. AAAAHHH! I wish gamecubes didn't need memory cards though. Lucky XBox people...:(

timesplitters 2 map maker. ts2 is a ps2/xbox/gc game. the mapmaker on it was fun, but so many restrictions. but with a little creativity u could make sum good stuff (like my murder mystery!)

It's a bit cruddy compared to hammer. Also, it's mainly designed for multiplayer, and there are ALSO a lot of restrictions with it. And isn't anyone gonna delete four posts from the quintuple echo?

in cs start with weapons Post #1840
No such entities exist. At least not my CS. The solution for scout(for example) is to add an armoury entity containing the prefered weapon and use it together with info_map_parameters to disallow buying of guns. But the pistols can't be removed as far as I know. Try searching for some tutorials on the net. Maybe you find one.
