Dude. First of all Any concave brush will give you an error right away. And it's obvious Skals didn't understand what you said because i barely understood it myself.

Anyway Skals, http://twhl.co.za/forums.php?thread=14161 , That's the compilator and it's REALLY easy to use and i highly recommend it. When you get everything set up (It's self-explanatory really, ) go to the vis tab, and hit the full box.
Then just hit compile and you're done!
And if there's any error whatsoever while compiling, The compile log HIGHLIGHTS the errors in red

The aim of the database is to gather all ressources available on different games to help other map makers.

Striker, can you even read?

Anyway.

You're looking for maps, models, textures, prefabs... Anything really?
I'll be willing to share some of my completed work; what little there is.

can we get a random screenshot of like. something? another railing or so.

Anything?
/cry

yeah tuna, satch is a doctor.

I'm not 100% positive about the source entities, But i know goldsource has a good Change target system. Source's system would be as good, if not better for that task.

that's almost what I have, but I'll check it out when I get home. Thanks for the response

Hey guys. I've been trying to figure this out for the past hour or so and it's really bugging me and i can't seem to make this work at all.

Here's the thing;

There's a room with a door and Three buttons in it. In order to open the door, you must press the 3 buttons in the correct order. The order is 1, 3, 2. Now if you press button 2 first, it's supossed to do nothing. Same with button 3.
Now if you press button 1, then button 2, both of the buttons reset themselves.
And when you press buttons 1 2 3 in the correct order, the door opens.

Now i have the correct order thing working but i can't seem to get the buttons to reset themselves. Here's what i have for the layout.

---

Button 1

---

Name: 1
Target: but3_change
Delay before reset: 0
-Flags-
[x] Dont move
[x] Toggle

---

Button 2

---

Name: 2
Target: reset
Delay before reset: 0
-Flags-
[x] Dont move
[x] Toggle

---

Button 3

---

Name: 3
Target: reset
Delay before reset: 0
-Flags-
[x] Dont move
[x] Toggle

Now the but3_change entity is a trigger_changetarget telling button3 to change target from "reset" to "but2_change" which in-turn tells button2 to change target from "reset" to "door_open" which opens the door. Yay.

All that works flawlessly if done in the correct order, but my reset multimanager doesnt seem to reset the buttons properly.

When "reset" is triggered it triggers trigger_relays called"reset2" and "reset3". I have the trigger state set to "off" and when triggered they just seem to toggle the buttons. And if i hit button 2 first, then button 3, both just blink forever.

I'm boggled by this.

I've tried different trigger states (off, on, toggle), i've tried "delay before reset: -1" for the buttons, and that didnt seem to work. Anyone have any ideas?

DAMNIT SRRY!

.. i lost the game....

you're sure your landmarks line up properly?

Haha. Coolbeans. I was just wondering that's all.
But a new project eh?
Can't wait.

When is the "more than one screenie per map" feature going to be implemented?

Very true, but if there's no game_text, then what other option is there?

could you have a teleport that moves the player to a room that has a message on the wall with a texture? THEN kill them?

enjoy whats there

i guess i'll toss mine in the vault for you guys to check out.

It's still buggy. So i wonder how the updates are going to evolve the gameplay.

look around and look for the light.

hotdog
Your entry was fantastic! i loved it

i Did fix the problem.
But the entry is far from finished, unfortunately.
I spent wayy to much time on my first failed attempt
by the time i knew what i wanted to do i only had 2 weeks left

I entered.
I posted it first while drunk then while sober i realized that i never put the "Compo26" extension

I'd like to like transform into anything i've ever wanted.
Like a T-Rex, or a refrigerator or something.

I have a $90 card. My processor is holding me back.

Not to be mean or anything, but why do you need those as models?

Pardon me, I have a life Ghetto.

if we're working towards an extension i'll truck on as much as i can

The deadline is final, unfortunately.

I admit defeat.
I do not have enough time to complete this unfortunately.
I just recently moved into a condo with my girlfriend, and have been taking extra work shifts to cover rent and utilities plus all the food my pot-head roomates eat on me.
Uni just plopped all the assignments in the world on me as well.
I was planning on doing a knock-off of the water temple from ZELDA OOT (I know i copy that game too much) with some satirical portal elements thrown in.
I only have 3/4 of it finished and it's nowhere near completion, polish wise.
If i do get a few hours i'll try to hack it all together and submit it, but i highly doubt i'll get to that point.

Right well anyway.
I need my new rig before i can play most source games (The motherboard is installed as well as the ram and processor)
this once included. I run at 10fps and it's hard to do anything but die.

Actually it'd technically be the feudal ages.
In the dark ages humanity was still recovering from the plague...

I just downloaded it today and i think it's one of the coolest games i've played. There's a lot of decent servers, and best of all its free!
Just wondering if anyone plays it at all.

I lose.
I'll try tho.

indeed

Just do us the favor of throwing up a status report once a week or so.
Even something along the lines of:

"Piss off I'm not done yet."

Will be more than satisfying

Yep.
Nice Avatar as well.

Sweet. Thanks for the info guys. I'll give it a try tomorrow. I would do it right now, but i'm on my Girl's iPhone, and i'm about to go to bed.

But i run the editor off the flash drive, not a given computer..
So does it still try to read the registry? Even if i boot off a flash drive

Hey guys. I installed hammer onto my flash drive so i can map on break at uni and such. The configuration files are good and everything, but every time i open hammer on a computer (including my own at home) Everything is stored save for the wad location.

Granted i have the wads in an easy to find location in my flash drive, but it's becoming quite annoying to keep having to go to the options and select the wads, restart hammer, and THEN start mapping.

Does this have anything to do with the config file or wad location or anything? If you guys don't have an answer, no worries it's just an annoyance.

No Op4 is technically a gearbox game.
And it doesn't share the same source coding.

There is always going to be room for improvement. This computer as it stands right now, will be probably twice as good, if not better, than my current setup. So... i'll take that.

I'm going with DDR2 ATM. And you're right, i should probably spend the extra $30 for a bigger HD.
and.. hat wattage/brand would you recommend for the power-supply penguinboy?
I'm just getting a half-way decent computer. I don't need anything like.. top of the line. Just a budget computer that's GOOD, and can run Ep2 games without making my computer blow up.

wow that's outstanding work.

Hmm... i don't think i'll have my new PC by then but i'm in anyway

all we need to do is add another 2 or 3 decimal places
instead of say xxx.xxx.x.x
have the ips be xxx.xxx.xxx.xx.x or something.
Or. we can add a number system in there somewhere and make it even better.

Am i in this one?
Nevermind. i'm the one in the middle woot.

One i can upgrade for a while

http://www.nvidia.com/object/balancedpc.html
Hit launch configurator. Check out the processor to card specs.
That's what i'm basing my purchases on.
I'm not forking out a ridiculous amount of money for a computer.
For my budget; $500 USD, i think this is a good computer.
And this is not just a primary mapping computer i don't need the quad core. Most applications don't even support quad core. My motherboard does, however, and in the future, if i want another processor, i can just buy a quad and swap it out.
Plus this has DDR3 ram support so when that becomes cheaper, i can just use that as well.
/end defence

p.s. i fried a processor overclocking.
I did it wrong and i'm afraid i'll do it wrong again. So noty.

Ok well since i posted i went and did some research.
I got up Nvidia's site and they had a card - processor efficiency thing comparison chart. So i know what processor and which graphics card i want. from that i found some other parts. let me know what you think.

Processor:
Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 --- $120 USD
Graphics Card:
GeForce 9600GT (ASUS) --- $120 USD
Case:
10 Bay ATX case w/ Fan and 550W power supply --- $40 USD
Motherboard:
ASRock P43 Twins1600 --- $70 USD
Hard Disk:
Western Digital 160GB 7200RPM SATA @ 3.0Gb/s --- $50 USD
RAM:
2.0Gb DDR2 OCZ Fatal1ty Edition --- $80 USD

All in all the total comes to $480 USD which is actually $20 under budget.
And i think it'll be a powerhouse for how much it costs.

I'll Be running XP until i can afford Vista.
And i'll Buy things one at a time when i can afford them.
First things first i'll get the case, then motherboard, ram, and the processor. I'll take my old GFXcard and HD and use those until i get the new equipment. Would this be a good or bad idea?

What do y'all think?

and that means?

Hey fellas. I've been saving up for a new rig for a month or so. (Been putting aside $50+ a week) So i wanna start with a kickass motherboard. One i can upgrade for a while, and has preferable an intel processor. A real fast dual core, or a quad core, or idk.
I really don't know what to look for and everything seems damn confusing.
I have a case all picked out. I comes with a 550w power supply and it has a huge fan on the case so airflow shouldn't be a problem at all.
This is my case i'm looking at buying: From Geeks.com
And as for motherboards, some come with Processors, some come without them and i do not have a clue as to what to buy or look for really.

I definitly want dual or quad core capability.
I don't know if DDR3 is better than DDR2 (my guess says yes but is the difference really drastic?)
I THINK i want a PCI-E input for my videocard.
I say i think because i don't know.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what would be a good base motherboard for me?

Jesus christ... I gotta step this up a notch.
Uni stuff has been sapping my time lately. Professors love assigning loads of projects, reports, and homework all on the same day. Plus i work all the time. I'm so happy i started on the first day.

Un-bury that sucker.
