nothing is compiled with rad or vis yet, just for fyi. I mean, some maps are with rad/vis but most aren't, and or have big blocks covering major areas of the map for quick-compile test purposes. Muzz is handling the final compile, but you're free to browse around! =)
Atom: i sent you PMs regarding issues.
DiscoStu: your map made version 1! Check it out here. Password is the same as always, but i'll pm u just in case. =)
JeffMOD: I didn't have the latest version of your map in there, but i'm fixing now, and i'll send atom the newest link. SORRY! =(

FINALLY DONE! =)
Atom: sending you a link now...
Cstriker: your map will not make version 1.0, but it will be in version 2.0, also including maps from possibly Urby, Daubster, and more.
Everyone: All out there still wanting to submit a map to rooms, remember, there is no deadline, i will ALWAYS accept new entries, and simply release a new version. Nothing more will be accepted for version 1.0 tho..

I have a map where you're walking down a hallway to some doors, and you can hear music in the distance(ambient generic set to medium radius, volume 5).
When you open the doors to the dancefloor at the end of the hallway, i want the music to increase, as you would expect it too if you're opening a door with loud music behind it. I mean, i can just have the doors trigger on another ambient generic, but the music won't sync up with what's already playing... any ideas anyone?

I rather liked Drag Me To Hell, but i had no expectations going in... i liked that the old lady kept pulling her hair out too everytime they met..

Pandorum: Didn't like it, but i have very high expectations for this type of film. All the monster-creatures look like Ed Begley JR... =P
Surrogates: Highly disappointing... =(
Oh and ponyo is, well.. let's just say it's not my style of movie and i didn't enjoy it. I kinda feel the same about 9 as in the story being very pointless, but i'll shut up about it since most people seemed to enjoy it. I certainly enjoyed animation tho, even if they jacked the monster-machines from the matrix.. = )

did you update your rooms.wad, replacing those dam 640x480 textures? those are the only thing i can thing to cause it to crash....
yeah it's a strange thing, raver's map does it for me too, and he claims the same. must be something on my end?!
JeffMod: Here's the your map and the connected hallway from WC's map. lemme know if it looks as intended... password is the same as all the other rooms stuff.. =)

Anyone know how to make func_waters not glow for a dark map? I find with rendermode set to texture, any renderfx amount above 40 or so makes the water glow bright, which is not desirable for what i'm trying to do.
I've tried dicking with the minimum light level to no avail...

well your subway light is set to a brightness of 8000, which is super high imo, but it may be the way you want it. just lemme know =)
DiscoStu: your map will only open in hammer for me under "counter-strike" config fsr. (raver's map is like this for me too). I've tried copy/pasting into a new .rmf but it will still only open under counter-strike.
What is casusing this exactly? (anyone?) is it something in the worldspawn entity that's causing it to be seen as a cs map? how do i edit this anybody know?
JeffMod: I'm sending you a link of your map attached to world crafter's map. pm me if you want any changes, as your lighting is pretty crazy imo.. = )

dunno just needs more conflict/drama to make it interesting, just imo. like maybe they somehow learn of scientists trapped somewehre and they are going to try to save them on their way out, or they HAVE to fsr...
i don't think going higher would help, as the max mappable distance is not more than 8200 units, right?
I like it, except there should be more smoking and drinking, and one of the dudes should be injured/mutating or sumthin.. (i dunno i do like it, but it needs some spicing up imo)

Nice to see this still going! WIN

[quote]i've had some success combining my func_walls into larger func_walls with many brushes, along with converting some of them back to world brushes.[quote]
that's what i was going to recommend. Also, a single "leaf-saw" error will cause brushes to sporadically become invisible as well. So obviously, finding and eliminating these if you have any might fix the problem.
Also, I've found the latest SHLT tools to be especially good at zapping/fixing those nasty leaf-saw thingies... i don't think i've had one show up in my compile log since using the super half-life tools.
NICE to see you mapping Goldsource! =)

haha edit blocked you BITCH, how does it taste? =P
It's another reason i think we should have "preview" like for PMs, that way, you'd never have broken links, inglorious typos, and the like.

Holy crap, I never knew about that.(shift-dragging)Wow how can you guise not know about that?! I would quit mapping without it.. =)

Don't waste your time.
Inglorious Batstages was amazing. I've seen it for the 5th time 2 days ago, and it seems to get even better the more times i watch it! Surprised that subtitles didn't bother me at all! Hans Landa is my new hero..

I'm new to source mapping, but i just found Hammer 4 remembers selections! (as in, if you spend a bunch of time ctrl-selecting brushes and accidentally cancel it, simply ctrl-z should return your selecion group!!)
AWESOME

I'll pm you the password now.. =)
Steps to make a really dark map:
-if you have a light environment, turn it down way low or eliminate it completely
-use low value texlights instead of point lights. darker colors like read are going to need higher radiosity values to show up just as bright colors like white need much lower values to show the same brightness.
keep in mind brush-based entities with the "additive" render property will give off light, so having a lot of these or a big area of one in your map will make it look brighter than normal. (other brush-based entities render properties might cause the brush to give off light as well--i don't really know-, but keep it in mind as a possibility, just in case your map turns out too bright)
check out BJ's tutorial on how to make textlights blink, flicker and do other things normally reserved for point lights, as this should be perfect for a disco map =)

DiscoStu: SORRY! I just played your map and it is really cool! Seems very well made, and i like the lighting effects on the floor and the disco glitter ball...Nice small detailing as well throughout.. can't wait to see the finished product!
Penguinboy: shit yeah that spiral ramp is awesome... would be nearly if not completely impossible to do by hand! =)
It's gonna be a quad core 3.2 Ghz, 4GB DDR3Sheesh that is awesome! = P

WOW Striker, that map is absolutely amazing, as in:
+Amazingly huge
+Amazingly complex
+Amazingly interesting
+Amazingly cool shit
+Amazing [/i]*edited--seekrit--edited*[/i]
+Amazing amount of time went into this?
The only problem is it is WAY moar than one room. Maybe you could pic a portion of the map to include in the project? Alternatively, we might offer theis map as a "bonus feature" or some such in it's full form as well. Let's talk about it over pm we'll figure something out, but i really want to include this in rooms!
Urbs: Glad to hear you are still in. no rush! = )

Wow i forgot about this since it was so long ago, and i never posted my solution!
Tetsu0: I used trigger_relays at first, but found just calling them again via the multimanger alone did the trick, so i eliminated the relays. (that's not to say that a situation wouldn't arise where you may have to use a relay to do it tho)
Srry: thanks and you're right. I use a func_wall_toggle, black textured box for just that purpose! =)
Nefarious: WHOA TY for all the time you put into the solution and the detailed explanation!! YOU GUISE ARE GREAT! ^_^
After initially starting each camera, you may need to trigger each camera again to turn it off before triggering it back on again.Slayer A (and tetsu0 really) had the right idea. "calling" the present camera a second time--in effect, shutting it down--, before starting the next camera was the key!

JeffMod: kk got it TY! =)
World Crafter: TY! =) What did you think off the tts commentary? (if you checked that out..)
Striker: I'm sure it will be fine, but if i have to edit it--meaning to make certain areas inaccessible to make it moar "roomlike"--, would that be ok??

Update.
Here is a complete download of the mod for rooms authors only, without rad or vis(the "menu" map has full vis and rad). these were used to mostly test the audio commentary. without vis and rad, some of the doors/buttons are invisible, but you can get past that by noclipping through the doors. Password is the same as previous rooms beta stuff.
still to do:
-update jeffmod's first room
-integrate jeffmod's second map
-integrate discoStu's map
-create audio commentary for jeffmod v2 map
-create audio commentary for discoStu's map
Atom: as soon as the above are complete, i'll send you a link to the complete package. If you want to start compiling everthing but "rooms" and "rooms8" (both those maps still need to be edited), be my guest.

One of the worst movies i've seen for 2009. This movie/plot/directing
are way below Gerard Butler. So bad i was going to leave halfway and
try to get my money back... (i should have)

pretty cool! I think the story started out really strong/good, but has degraded in quality a bit since the beginning. It's still pretty good tho, are these all first-draft stuff? (if they are they are really good)
ja ja, it's nice to see new media!

JeffMOD: yeah probably, but do you think george lucas will come after us? =P if someone wants to compose some music for the mod that's great, otherwise, i don't feel inclined to change it.
Muzz here are filefront mirror.

Update.
Play menu functionality.....DONE
Author Commentary Menu......DONE
Roll Credits Menu button....DONE
Loading Screen cutscene.....90%
Author commentary tts files.40%
Here's a sample video of the what the
credit roll sequence will look like, as well
as a final list of who will be credited for
the mod.
PLEASE, REVIEW THE CREDITS TXT FILE
AND LET ME KNOW IF I'M LEAVIN ANYONE OUT!!!
As soon as i finish the tts reviews for the maps--i'm done through
riverpool--, then, it's off to Atom for the final compile, and,
we should hopefully have our first beta release sometime this week
if everything goes well! = )
this took WAY longer than i ever thought it would to complete... thanks
so much to everyone for their patience!

It looks like the douche that uploaded this .rmf file uploaded a deocompiled prefab!? look at the brush splitting:
you can't compile decompiled stuff afaik... if you really like the design of this, you could just rebuild it with normal brushes, or you'd be better off imo building something with far-simpler architecture, and using 1 or 2 custom textures to make it look good.
huntey: that's a damn-awesome party song.. = )
yeah i think killtarget permanently gets rid of it. maybe if you use multisources in the master field instead of using the killtarget fields, it might work. I recently used 2 func_doors and multisource, essentially making a toggleable multisource like this:
i have a button that targets a mm that targets 4 func_doors, which their own target fields target a desired action, but i only wanted 1 to work at once and at the desired time. in essence, only the func_door with the active multisource (targeted by a second func_door) will fire. this second func_door targeting the multisource must be reset with a trigger_relay after operation, or it won't work right.
1. I created a multisource(4 really). A button targets a mm which targets a func_door1(4 of them really) which targets my desired action, and i put the name of the multisource(again 4, one for each door) in the master field of of func_door1.
2. i have another func_door set to toggle, func_door2 that targets the multisource. this way, door1 will only open if door2 is active. I used trigger_relay to reset the func_door 2 upon activation, thereby giving a toggleable multisource.
I don't understand exactly what you want to do, but mabye the above setup will give you an idea on another thing to try? i hope this is clear enough and makes some sense! good luck!

rooms_intro permalink updated: here
changes:
-the menu system is nearly bulletproof in operation (i found lots of bugs since the last update..), and is complete except some small further add-ons.
-started the teleport/trigger_changelevel process, but it's not working yet...(if somoeone could take a look at this portion i'd be grateful.
Still to do for the rest of the project:
-finish/changeup? exit menu
-credit reel.(list is written i just have to map it)
-finish "play" menu
-add rest of commentary(me through hotdog are done)
-send it off to muzz for final full compile, with his own personal tweaks using compilator and shlt tools
-beta test
-release!
HOPEFULLY not much longer now. Jeez, if i'd have known it would take this long to finish, i'd have NEVER announced the final release so soon!

i'm finding my clip brushes are failing in areas, no matter how i reshape them or delete and rebuild. i don't have any errors, but my planes (using the -chart command) say i'm at 96%.
Could that be the cause, and if so how do i eliminate some planes?
I've also tried using different cliptypes, with no change. I've had this type of problem with leaf-saw errors, but never with a clip brush and i don't have even a single leaf-saw error.. = (

1. make a texture that says "insert keycard". add the +A prefix to whatever your calling the door texture, aka:
+Akeycard_door
2. make the "keycard accepted" texture. add the +0 prefix to it, or:
+0keycard_door
That covers the texture and naming convention. as far as how you want it to handle triggering the texture change, there are many ways you can go about this... one way:
1. make the "console" a func_wall and give it a name, say:
CONSOLE1
Give your door a name, like: DOOR1
i'm assuming your "keycard" will be in the form of an invisible button? if so, have the button target a multi_manager called DOOR1_MM or whatever you like, with the properties:
targetname DOOR1_MM
CONSOLE 0.01
DOOR 1.0
(enter any delay for the door to open after the sign pops up or none at all and make the door and console both activate at 0.01 or whatev.

are you running 64-bit? (might not be fully compatible yet?)
no func_wall_toggle needed, just switchable texture. learn more here, plus, the forums are sure to have more info if you need.

even tho i'm retiring (mostly) from goldsource after this, i would totally be down for this raver! (after i'm done with the rooms proj of course)
