@ The Hunter: I did today at a friend's house, but I did'nt really see much of the campagins, so I still don't see what you're getting at...
Wait 10 minutes for the train to warm up? reminds me of Ravenholm 
Like the idea, though.

No idea, but I get it every time I try an expert compille. Any Ideas, guys?
And there could be a small town nearby, where most of the creatures/weapons are. Mostly in the hunting store and police station. (rifles and pistols, in that order.) That would be soo cool. Then the army comes in and nukes the town to "Contain" The invasion. The players could use an old cold war bomb shelter, then a lot of tanks show up from the radiation!
EDIT: Re-reading that, it can start in one town, then move to another with a different archetectual style, if you pardon my terrible spelling.

If you have extra cash, get better speakers, graphics card, second monitor, more memory, RAM ect. (people still use Graphics cards, right? mine's a few years old, and my brother built it.)
LOL. Well, $9.00 Is a start.
I really hope everything's still being worked on, 'cause the new version sounds really usefull. 
Sweeeet. I'm so getting it. Thanks, Potatis!!
Yeah. Question is, does it work with the latest ZHLT?
Uhm... By the way, I just tried hammer, and it compiled. I guess the computer was just too cold this morning...

Uh... Lemme see... 6. And untill now, I've never has this problem. I'm not even doing anything that takes a lot of RAM or CPU, just CSG and BSP, but it crashes as soon a CSG begins...
I get this weird bug, and I don't know what it is... When is press compile, hammer crashes whithout an error message. I'm using: ZHLT Final Build, Spirit of Half-life 1.5a, and Hammer 3.5. I haven't changed anything, and it just popped up for no reason. I even tried replacing ZHLT with copies from the ZIP, and Starting hammers Gameconfiq.wc from scratch. And ideas?
I'd be happy to upload a skeleton of Spirit 1.5a, but where?
EDIT: Acually, just DL it here: http://www.goannasvencoop.com/sphinx/FTP/mods/spirit_of_half-life/ It has my guarentee for 1.5a to work! Oh, and it has some reskins for I think 2 of the weapon models, just delete all the V_ models unless they have new names.

A soldier doesn't see someone playing CoD4, get all pissed of and yell "KIL REAL PPL FAGS!"That's Because soliders know what it's like to see someone die in front of them, and don't want innocent people to die (unlike terrorists, who would yell that)
Well, I haven't finished downloading my copy of HL2, let alone Source SDK, and I doubt I'll be able to untill I get a High-speed internet connection, as steam CRASHES every time i try to update it.
EDIT: I'm gonna try blender, I assume it works for HL.
EDIT: I'm gonna try blender, I assume it works for HL.
No. I just have sucky internet so i don't stay up to date as well as everyone else. (Before everyone on TWHL started talking about it, my last update on it was when it was third party.
Ignoring jeffMOD's attempt at trying to force me to think logically. (How dare you!)Sorry...
Obviously you've never heard of our friend Caffeine.It's only temporary, though. And not healthy in 500000+ mg doses.
L4D does seem REALLY good though. Makes me wish my steam accound didnt crash while updating.
Uh... ATDestroy??? Without sleep, you cant function. no sleep means no L4D, cause no sleep means no cohearent thought. ( I assume most people need that for playing games that are more complex than pong)
Uh... XSI works ofr Goldsource too, right? It says source, but... It will still work for HL MDL, right?
Oh... That... May help with ALL the models I want to change teh meshes on (I wanted to make a few Barnies that looked like soliders, but got massive errors about bone names...) I am such a N00b about modeling... 
EDIT: Im putting this here for the sake of saving space; Today Milkshape stopped working. It says my trial period is up, but I only got it on the day of the first post in this thread. Any suggestions/ideas on how to fix this, or alternate model editors? (I have no credit card, by the way)
EDIT2: Unless anyone happens to have a HD scientist model without ID tags and HD Barney Hands I could reskin...

Your idea does resemble Left4Dead, exept L4D has no HL Universe ties. Really though, I bet at least 1 other person (exept the people who thought up L4D) Has had a similar idea. Just like when you make an essay that has no (intentional) plagirisim in it, then someone else handed in a similar essay a few yars ago, and you get slapped for cheating. I'm sure thats happened to someone before. It is a really good idea though, and even if ValvE did'nt steal it, I have to admire you for having such a great whopper of an idea. Maybe you could make a MOD for L4D, and add your ideas to it. 
yup. Sph!nx's site it a great place for Spirit Downloads. If you're looking for a newer version, you can get it there too. that includes the custom builds with silenced weapons and a beeping RPG.
I definetly lose... 
what about that model vault someone suggested? I'm sure THWLers have tons of cool models that they made/improved and want to share!!
You could have a smaller, nodraw func_physbox or more that one, all parented to each other, can't you? Maybye you could make the wall hollow? (2 units thick?) I don't know much about source mapping, but just a few thoughts.
For the Shogun or Hgrunt? (Im assuming shotgun)
EDIT: Tried the shotgun, did'nt work, Im going to search the QC further for any more lines about Hitboxes.
EDIT2: Nope. None. However, I forgot to mention it was the Unregistered version.
EDIT3: Okay. I renamed ALL the "arm" bones/joints in the shotgun model .SMD, and It compilled. The weapons are held a bit weirdly, relative to the arms, but it's close enough for my liking. Admins, you have my go-ahead to close this thread.

Hey. I just got Milkshape 3D, and am trying to make a Hgrunt Model using two custom weapon models. I have the new AR done, but I can't get the shotgun. I keep getting the error illegal parent bone replacement in model "SPAZ_ref"
"Bip01 R Hand" has "Bip01 R Arm2", previously was "Bip01 R Forearm"I used to get that all the FREAKIN' time! In spirit you can prevent it, but... WHY would you WANT it? (I guess it looks cool, though) In spirit you could probably parent an env_sprite to a func_train if you want a "Guide" Effect like in OP4.
Hmmm... I never fiqured out how to use the CS 1.5 Cyclers... Guys? You tae over... (I failed to help... me 
...)
(I failed to help... me ...)Click on 'em once, and you'll see three little box-things come up. at first, only the middle is avalible, normal attack. evetually you'll get force attacks and grenades. once you've gotten a full bar of moves at the bottom for every member of your party, unpause the game and do everything else in realtime if you wish. Healing is a force power and an item. they're selected at the bottom, near the portraits. once you get some items, you'll see which buttom down there uses what. Now, It'll be a few hours of gameplay at least before you get the force, but the blue bar across from your red (health) bar is force points. they always regenerate, and there are items you can use to speed it up.
That would be JEFFMOD, Potatoes. FF, not SS. :rly:
OK. when you're fighting, click on an emimy to target them, and choose whitch attack you want to use. (you'll need to equip a blaster or vibroblade if you're at the begining, I suggest a blaster) when you level up,go to the character view menu and select level up. Automatically doing it is bad, as you have no say in what you use your points for. it's actually easy when you get used to it. oh, and press space to pause/unpause, and click a character portrait in-game to switch to them. Hope I helped. PS: try not to delete your files, as doing the same first planet 5 times gets EXTREMELY teidus.
EDIT: Use stims and shields for boss fights, and save OFTEN!!!

LOL. I saw the last 20 seconds of the compo end... Strangley satisfying, even though I did'nt enter...
Okay... It may help if we know what game you're having this problem for... is it HL, CS, or another?
Thanks. I'll check 'em out.
EDIT: I got Ifran View, Thanks for the link with out you guys, I am

The console would be awsome. I'd always had Buddha on, and definetly use model "goodlookingperson" and howabout this for a custom console code: sv_rememberallcodes 1, to make sure I never forget a code I want to use.
EDIT: would Sv_timescale 0 pause time???
EDIT: would Sv_timescale 0 pause time???
Sure, If You can tell me how to contribute to em, I'll help with a Spirit entity guide. But witch version? the latest official build? (1.5a4, which I am currently using) After all, the custom builds don't always make sensible choises...
I know! More awards!!! Like:
N00b of the year
The Jerkwad award
Most loggins in a month
Most of these would be Presitguos Awards of shame, and would require a nomination and four other members to back them up.
Oh, and bring back those Login # Messages. I wish I was around to see em, and I've read that a few people want them back...

Never mind. I'll try PSP when I get it to work on the MODs Splash screen.
For my, and future user's refrence, does anyone know of a good shareware/freeware program that can make logo files for MODs? I can remember using MS paint once, and saving it as a .LOG or whatever I had read the files were saved as, but it never worked...
I was GOING to suggest that, but it's generally frowned upon, especially if you release the map again. plus decompillers mess it up bigtime. some delete brushes, some fill the entire map with brushes, and all screw up texture alignment... Why do you even need 10? I'd have thought the ship would come with at least 15 for the bigger maps...
I have the same sort of problems. I think there is a brushbased entity to fix this, but its never worked for me before...
Yup. Close hammer then go to your favorite WAD editor and add in new textures. save and reboot hammer. I do it all the time. Hope I explained it properly...
Uh... Why don't you do that yourself? It's easy enough to do.
There's a site called counter-map where you can get an "expert" FGD. I think It may be Tommy14's, but Im not sure.
Okay. First, You need a Prop_door_rotating. add that in, then in the "Model"... Option...Thingy... search for "Door" when you have found a door model you want, exit the browser, and try the other options. they will set sound, if im not mistaken, and your choice of handles. place the door in Ur frame, and compile. I belive this is the right way to do it, but im no source mapper, can't handle the download on steam. anyway, hope I helped a bit. 
EDIT: OH! and props_doors/door01_dynamic.mdl doesn't work as a door, only npc_furnitiure.

Delay before close 0 is probably why it stays open. some glitch, I expecy, but Im suprised it opens when its set to 0 instead of instantly closing...
Hmmm. Im not sure that would work... I have also found 1.7's trigger_changelevel doesnt work with its "Use only" flag. and as I have no coding compilers or experience, I guess the server will have to just load the maps like in any other MP mod... so connecting them is out. Thanks anyways guys.
Everyone who uses spirit knows you can get monsters to show up in multiplayer, but does anyone know if you can set up a client-side map change, in MMO style? eg. you begin in a building, and load a new map when you leave, but other players stay in the building. I know transitions are possible, thanks to sven coop, but is there a non-coding way to do it client-side? thanks in advance.
&%@#! I'm currently using spirit, and I have no coding experience or compiling software... Oh well. as Urbaneula said, it's not REQUIRED, just cool. thanks for looking into it and trying to help.
The chapter title message either doesnt change anything or changes what is shown at map start. Ill play around with it though. thks. U guys are
