Speaking of internet speeds , I heard that some admins here are having trouble with these speeds . Are you thinking what I'm thinking ? Good !

Well, for a start, TWHL's colors suck. This piss yellow is repulsive to all but the seasoned vets, which explains why I'm okay with it. Yeah, it's colorful and welcoming and warm. Warm like your toilet after you emptied your bladder into it.

At last! Somebody is finally agreeing with me

Dude, you shouldn't put a space between the last word and the dot.

Penis . = incorrect.
Penis. = Correct.

To hell with this stupid rules. It's my bad habbit. What can I do?(observe how I write)

Also, if you thought using "penis" is going to make somebody laugh , then you are too gay.(maybe muzzleflash will understand something else)

I love the "new" TWHL.

Don't you think "love" is too much? Oh god, I'm really sorry for not doing a screenshot on the old twhl theme.

The old theme stinked like ass. This theme only sucks .

Really, somebody should consider on updating the theme constantly for the member's pleasure not for his pleasure .

Look at this site and think.

Well now I know .

I created a this thread for you to argue why other mapping sites are shitty .

To start , SnarkPit . Because you can't argue quite well in the shoutbox .

Please don't kill me for this thread .

None interested ?

Hi everyone . As with the new ISP and 6 mb/s I can afford to make a server.
My IP is Dynamic , so I made a DNS subdomain and downloaded a small program to update my IP change .

Here's the DNS adress : crystrikem.idle.ro

So , to connect to my server , you would open the console and type connect crystrikem.idle.ro

P.S. I made it a CS Map test server because the majority are making cs 1.6 maps ( trust me).

I will also need an experienced member's help . My skype ID is marcel_iubarel08 .(to see if the server is actually working , making him admin , plugins etc etc ....)

The server is running AmxModx , Respawn ( testing maps , duh ....) , SentryMod and a bunch of plugins .

[EDIT] Keep in mind , my time zone is GMT +2 . ( so if in UK is 19:00 pm , in my country it's 21:00 )

Oh , thanks.

Something like that ( and the diametre )

New Problem : How to increase the power of a point_spotlight entity ?

I'll discuss about this later ( In Gmod , you just have to use a "wheel" tool to atach a workin wheel with torque)

thanks, you are too kind .
[EDIT} I never though of spotlight :)) .
Wtf ? The wheels aren't appearing in-game :/ ....

The link is dead

I just want to see an example of a moving light_dynamic entity for now.

"very expensive entity"
do you mean it will hurt the fps ?

I'm kinda used to it , as I play Garry's Mod. But it's a little different here

Can somebody provide me with a vmf were a light_dynamic attached to a moving train actualy works ? Thank you.

Oh sorry , can we speak of this tomorrow ? I'm a little tired now . Tomorrow evening I'll have some free time .

Oh yay ! I can use multiple outputs from the same logic_auto !
Ok , I hope I don't get on your nerves , but I have some other problems now .
The light_dynamic isn't lit up. Even with a logic_auto. The color is white .

Oh I noticed that now !
My lights are better ( I switched to FULL HDR compile)
How can I use the "texture-lights" ? Please don't tell me they're gone !

So wait a second , from what I understand , source made it harder to create some entities ?
"OnMapSpawn" and "turn on" are commands the engine recognize ?

Quite nice responses . Thanks
I'll see what I can do ....
The light problem concerns me now ....

[EDIT] Looks like I have another problem . How do I set the new logic_auto entity to work ? Oh , let me guess , using this ? :And also.... where's func_train

Hi ! I just got source SDK and I want to ask you a bunch of questions.
First of all , I'm doing some test maps to familiarize myself with the new hammer and engine .Why the lights are so ugly ? I mean , look what contrast they're generating . In Half-Life 1 the plae near the light wouldn't be so black ( dark is a too good word )
Second of all , how can I use wads and how to include them ? I can only use materials ......
Third of all , can I import hammer 3.5 prefabs ?
Thanks in advance.

[EDIT]
What's the equivalent of trigger_auto in source ? I can't find it :/
Why the "light" entity doesn't have a "parent" field ?

That's super complicated . I mean , you have to know c++ or c basics .... but I only know the basics of the basics =))

I never heard of a nvidia card to cost less than the same performance ati video card .

42 on 1024 isn't.

At least it's important I don't see the image in slow motion and my eyes can be happy of all the detail . The budget limits me

Why can't you travel with a desktop? It's not as big as a washing machine or refrigerator. It's relatively portable.

My computer weights at least 8 kg . It is very portable

Oh PenguinBoy , Ati Video cards don't suck . They just can't handle it right with OpenGL . Anyway , the 8.7 Catalyst appeared and most of the problems I had are now over , excepting Hammer 3.5 :/ ...........
I'm playing Colin Mcrae Dirt at 1024 resolution (I don't know exactly the other number) with Ultra details . The average FPS is 30 but I reached 42 FPS.

Isn't that cool ?

That's great . TWHL can now be officially called the Half-Life 1 editing encyclopedia !!!!

That's TH1EE lol

yep , it now works

I think I'll reinstall it . I used an old backup version and even the menus won't work well.

"y" to talk to other players . I think it's won it's working without steam . I'm not hosting any server .

Hi . I have a little problem I can't figure it out myself . If I try to use the message system in counterstrike 1.6 I get a stupid error-like message :

1-If you want fast archive proccessing or a fast boot ar a good time response in modern games , yes , 10000 RPM is your choice .

2- Can't answer

3-1024 low latency . In fact I recommend you to buy Corsair memory . I have a dual channel kit - 2x1GB 800 mhz 4-4-4-12 .

4- Are you talking about the video card ? If yes you can make a choice : I don't know about other sellers or "ensambler" or what are you talking about but I know Gigabyte doesn't offer any bundle , but the video card has a lower cost .

I think it's fine .

I'm on 28.8k dialup!

Quality internet .

I can't wait to play it . I'm delighted to know half-life 1 isn't dead yet ( yet ?! never ! )

Well I see you are a good programmer . This utility sounds fun

Yeah but what if you can't downgrade ? I can't downgrade to older drivers because they don't support my video card ( it's too new )
So here we are , 3 of us with problems on this forum ( and more in the rest of the world ) .
Why Ati ? Whhhy ?!

I can't wait for ati catalyst 8.7
If it won't work be able to work with hammerwith that driver , I'll reinstall de old video card and it's drivers on the computer .
Of course I'll put ati back when I'll be bored of mapping.

But that's only if I won't be able to resolve this problem at all . I really want to run hammer from this video card . I'm too lazy to switch between these video card :((

You bought a cheap videocard from a vendor that provides shitty drivers. Live with it!

Actually , I have Ati catalyst 8.6 . The newest one .

Ati is not shit , it only has problems with the drivers . The first major problem I've observed is that it works perfect in applications with their own video settings , but it doesn't work well with the other applications . Such as Half-Life 1 . In half-life 1 with the Nvidia card all was smooth . Now , with the Ati card all is sharp and looking at the textures from distance they appear blured .

Yeah that's hell of a shit solution .
Maybe they'll tell me " Dude , did you bought this card to play half-life 1 ?! lol dude "
Or maybe they'll respect me as a client and help me ......

I have Nvidia video card for safety , but I want to run Hammer and other applications only from Ati .

It seems that the driver was the problem :)) and the windows too :)) .
I installed 8.6 and counterstrike works in opengl . Yay !
But let's get back to the real problem . A new problem . Just like in the sticky done by Muzzle Flash.
I can't select anything in the 3dview ( now it has superb framerate ) nor in the texture selection tool . the problem is , I can't downgrade to the 7.11 version of catalyst . I refuses to install ( my video card is quite new ) .
Now , please , give me some help with this . I should have bought Nvidia . It sucks but the drivers won't .

Maybe somebody will tell you more than I can , but the aurora files are , I think , the particle effects .

I recently heard that the latest driver should work with windows xp with no problem . And I installed it . It seems that my windows is the problem .

It is the driver's problem.

No. This is going crazy . The video card is constantly sitting at 79 degrees C in idle and 80-85 when it is used . Somebody suggested me to hack a file to change the fan speed , but that file even doesn't exists !!
And OpenGL doesn't work :(( . Hammer works but at a very low framerate . I can't play half-life in software mode !! ( the direct 3D mode doesn't work either )

[EDIT] Can it be the Video Card's Fault ?
