You can just use MSPaint to draw some white lines on a black BG and then Waddify it.

If said func_train in the map is used for the stars, make a scroll texture instead and try that?

Lift and Select is also the default, I suggest leaving it on that.

Align to View is the only other horribly useful one, IMO. And you can really muck things up with that if you don't know what you're doing.

You can't put sounds in wads. Those are for textures.

in gcfscape error Post #65075
This is caused by a damaged or incomplete GCF file most of the time. Make sure when you right-click HL in Steam and click properties, that it's at 100% amt acquired, and ready to play offline. If it is, and you still get an error, try backing up your GCF and 'Delete All Local Game Content' and reinstall the game, which will give you a fresh install and may fix the problem.

You need to trigger the ambient generic, afaik.

If you've already done that, then check your pathname. Use the browse button to find it, don't manually enter it.

't song is Gonads and Strife by Threebrain. Slow down the sample rate to 33000hZ and you'll get the actual recording before it was sped up to get the odd voices.

(On a similar note, slow most any song to 20000hZ or lower and you can make Ork voices)

This is most likely being caused by the view being set to 3d Wireframe and not 3d Textured. You can toggle between them by clicking the 'Camera' text and clicking 3d Textured from the drop down box that appears.

Never seen a trojan on that site. No popups either. Then again, if you use IE, you're running yourself hundreds of security risks when you visit pretty much any site. Get FireFox.

As for it being in French, there's a big button called 'Les Wads' if you look around. Ones for maps/models/pfabs as well. The wads also come with screenshots, too, so you can identify if they're useful by those.

First off, you need to extract the compiled map file, or the .bsp file, to your valvemaps directory wherever you installed Half-Life. For Steam, this is often C:Program FilesValveSteamSteamAppsUsernameHalf-Lifevalvemaps. For WON users, it's C:SIERRAHalf-Lifevalvemaps by default.

Additionaly, some maps come with custom sounds (wav or mp3), sprites (spr), models (mdl), textures (wad) etc, place these in their respective folders, such as valvesounds, or valvemodels. Wads need to go into valve.

Once you've installed these files, either run Half-Life with +map mapname or open the console, and type map mapname to run it. To run a server with the map, create a server and select the map from the dropdown box.

You can make res files manually, too. They're simple to write.

They follow this format:

// res name / optional comments

// file entries:
custom.wad
sound/weapons/sbarrel1.wav
sound/ambience/siren.wav
sound/ambience/jetflyby1.wav
sound/weapons/mortarhit.wav
sound/debris/beamstart11.wav
sound/weapons/electro5.wav
sprites/muzzleflash1.spr

This would download custom.wad, as well as sbarrel1, siren, jetflyby1, mortarhit, beamstart11, electro5, and muzzleflash1 if it did not find said files. Just make sure to include this res file with your map.

in How do you make the pause screens? Post #64775
We have a tutorial on making your mod show up in the custom game menu.

Speaking on this subject of custom game menu...have you upgraded to Steam? Most people have it these days, and it's better to use the steam framework and DLLs to base your mod off of so it works on a larger vareity of computers. Just a thought...

Anyhow, pick up Steam here:

in making a house level need ideas Post #64774
Y'know, you can't do ASCII art like that very well in these forum posts.

The vehicle is a func_vehicle and func_vehiclecontrols entity. The origin goes in the center of the func_vehicle, controls go where you want the player to be in order to drive it.

Oh, and CS only.

You did setup path corners for the func_train to move upon and add an origin brush, right?

You could adjust your max view distance, but try 8192 or a multiple of 16 to make it HL-friendly.

This is most likely a sprite.

Sprites are either stored in sprites in your DoD dir, or in the GCF file.

Use GCFScape ( http://countermap.counter-strike.net/Nemesis ) to extract sprites and models and other fun stuff from GCF files.

in object with multiple entities Post #62061
You can do some trickery with this, though. For example, say you want a door or door glass breakable after you've opened it. You can use an env_render triggered after the door opens that sets the renderfx of the door to 0 and the renderfx of a breakable, fake "door" or glass placed where the actual door would be in its open state, to 255 or 1 or 185 or whatever you want.

There's a tutorial on doing rotating door handles that explains the same effect on VERC, which you may also be interested in.
