I'm not sure if anyone would be able to help about this, but I keep getting this very irritating problem when running the Blue Shift High Definition Pack. I bought Blue Shift when it first came out. I then installed the High Definition Pack and for a while I was very happy. Then one day I had to reinstall HL and when I played it again the High Definition Pack wasn't working. I reinstalled the Pack again but still nothing has happened. I've tried installing the original content and then reinstalling the Pack but it still doesn't work. Could anyone help please? I've had this problem for ages and it's getting very frustrating!
Thanks. :
Thanks.

but i dont have the money!!!!
but after a while you cnat use it anymore:(
thx and then the textures are in your map so that you dont need to include wads??
in CSG, -wadinclude blah.wad OR -nowadtextures
Yes. Pay.
I got a timed demo version downloaded free. You do have to pay for the full version though.
YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR MILKSHAPE!!!!!!
i have heard something about compiling you textures in your bsp i only dont now how

it are all trial and if a poor kid i dont have money to pay for it
Ah, I [i]see[/]i - thanks, kol. Great idea.
Yeah, got that too, but use PSP for the colour conversion, more advanced 
IrfanView is cool, every mapper should have it, also usefull for some pallet manipulation, eg: changing 32bit images to 256 col ones...
no the elevator will be a little wierd...
i'll make an example map every one can use

aww thanks
lol, but PSP is easier!
MASTeRmiNd is right on the money.
I did some testing after the previous posts and it doesn't really matter what you use. Both -wadinclude xxxx and -nowadtextures only include those textures that you have used in your map.
However, -nowadtextures includes all .wad files like halflife.wad into your .bsp, where -wadinclude only includes those files you select.
The savings in .bsp size can be considerable. It all depends on who is getting the final map. do they have the .wad files that we consider generic? Some of the Mod specific .wads are not all that common. CS is a classic example of this. If you don't have the same CS maps as the guy distributing the map, then there is a good chance that you won't have the right .wad file.
An easy way around this is to use Wally to build a common.wad (all your favorites) and -wadinclude it. No need to add generic files like cstrike.wad or halflife.wad... and we know you can't add the decal.wad, but it will save the guy at the other end a whole heap of problems.

the -nowadtextures parameter is what i always use, that way its makes things alot easier when it comes to packaging your map, you dont have to worry about the .wad file, it puts all the textures that you have used into your map .bsp only, not the whole .wad.
Example: if you use 10 textures out of the halflife.wad, it will only include those 10 textures into the .bsp file, not the whole .wad.

Use the "Fire on Pass" propertyof the path_corner to target a Multimanager. Set the Multimanager to trigger the entities.
Have a read of SlayerA's Multimanager tutorial.

First stop call for all errors is Tommy14's Error table. The one you are looking for to explain this is Leaf saw.
Yeah... I have been here before. You are on the right track and you almost have it right.
Make your cylinder out of an arch, or just a cylinder brush. Do some serious VM to make sure all the face brushes are clicked to the grid. The problem your having is because you have carved the window across two or more sections of the cylinder.
Try selecting one piece of the cylinder wall and carving into that, or better still, copy it and raise the section from the floor and put your hole in and use the copied bit to replace the bottom part? does that make sense :
Anyway, the main thing is that you should only work on one face of the cylinder or arch, and make sure if you carve, that you are not carving across any other faces.

And having just posted that, I clicked on the return to forum and got the Internal server error?
Arhhh yes the admin bit's... I was wondering when I would be able to correct my lousy spelling.
how do i trigger loads of entitys when an elevator gets to a certain path_corner? :
Eh, I think I'll stick with MS paint. Good enough for me. Just. 24 bit, eh? Thanks. And as for PSP, black cat doesn't have a CD burner. Or so he says. When my dad burns CDs, he just put 'em in the normal drive.
err... i guess you could say it's bad. doesn't seem to be anything wrong, so maybe it was a once-off. still happening for you?
suggestions... cool!

I think that means you have brushes intersecting with each other...Not sure tho.
could you show us how it looks from worldcraft, so we can see how the brushes line up and everything?
thanks for the thought, but i'd been looking at the entity information for that entity a lot and i couldn't figure it out .
.Well, the problem is, I don't want to make a cylinder out of a cube, I just want the hollowed out cylinder.
Read the tutorial on "VM", here
I redesigned the map. Instead of hollowing out a big cylinder, I used an arch. instead of carving the wall, I used vertex manipulation to open it up for the window. Oddly enough, it did same exact thing, only difference, you can through it from the outside, but it's solid from in the inside. Odd..

anywho, oh here it is again NEVER EVER OVERLAP BRUSHES
and for gods sake turn pipes that touch solid walls into func walls, not only reduces polycounts, but vis times too!

Well how do you suggest I do such a project? If you've ever played TFC, I'm trying to do a fr like well.
o yeah, how odd!
lol, change the shortcut for : to :/!
I mean, the one that said "kinda?" ... it was supposed to be before my "cough cough" post.
omg, never carve or hollow a complex solid!!!
