Childish Gambino - Me and Your Mama on repeat for the past week.
no matter how you do it or what form the end result takes, the goal is to make a map with the same feel as the original, whether through aesthetics, gameplay or design.That's the exact part that I found so appealing about the Re-invent a CS classic competition. You weren't simply remaking the map; you were using elements of that map's design to inform the elements of a wholly new map. Much prefer this to simply remaking a map verbatim.
I'm so onboard, and I'll throw £30 of Steam games into the prize pool.
My absolute favourite competition was Re-invent a CS classic. I was gutted I was a judge, because I would have loved to compete.
Re-invent a HLDM classic, anyone?*
Cue 50 crossfire remakes.*
**Not a bad thing.

In what world does this chat belong in a WIP thread? Back on topic, please.
Definitely 640x480.
Can't make out a thing in that first shot. 640 x 480??? Really?
The road is cool, but it's barely wide enough for one lane, let alone two.

I really like the design and lighting, though I wonder if the scene could use a more lit focal point without detracting too much from the gorgeous dark ambience.
The film grain really doesn't work for me, though. Just looks like bad JPEG compression.

Twister is wonderful, but you should still try to brush up on your Vertex Manipulation skills - it never stops being useful!

That's really cool, Trempler!

I didn't know Mars can be so visible in the night. Was this taken with a long exposure? It feels ... bigThat's the moon, bro. Mars is the reddish dot next to it, haha!
Stu, you have an Android phone, right? Check out the app StarTracker. It uses your phone's GPS and accelerometers to let you scan the sky above you and will tell you what any landmarks (spacemarks?) are. I recently thought I saw an incredibly bright Jupiter, but it turns out it was Venus. Great app.
Yep, bevel forces clipnodes not to be created for faces & edges. It's a useful alternative to NULL under complex terrain, although can result in oversimplified clip hulls which allow the player to sink through the ground.
I used BEVEL on this cliff face because the player never has to traverse it, and it was creating hundreds of unnecessary clipnodes (there is a hard limit in GS)
But I used NULL on this ventilation pipe because I wanted all clipnodes to be calculated to prevent the player sinking through that subtle incline.

In the real world you can't cheat like that.I don't want to condone cheating, but I can't think of any real-world problem that isn't helped by having a knowledgeable contact at hand.
Your mapping reminds me a lot of Rimrook, Trempler, and believe me when I say that's a compliment!
I'm getting the same problem results with that .wad. I think the problem may be to do with compression - there are several colour indexes that are ridiculously close to 0, 0, 255 including 0,2,255 - 1,1,255 - 2,2,255 amongst others and I wonder if that's confusing matters. I can't see anything else about either texture that should cause a problem.
Just open it in notepad and follow the formatting of the existing entries to add your own.
If you've switched to Vluzacn's tools, I think you need to define your wad directories in settings.txt for textlights to work.
Mine looks like this:
Mine looks like this:
#ifdef <hlrad>
#define -waddir "E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\valve"
#define -waddir "E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\thecore"
#endif
Yep. Completely correct. Sorry for the wasted thread, and thanks Stu!
Edit:
So 0% and 100% seem to be identically instant. 1% is silky smooth and 99% is near-instant.

Holla,
I have a func_rotating, and I want its Acc/Dec to be super smooth. As I understand it, Acceleration is a function of the friction field, which I have therefore set to 99. When triggered, it still seems to get to full speed very quickly.
Is there a way to smooth this out?

Definitely, Striker. Be prepared to cry at the restaurant and beer prices, though!
I love France, Shep. Been all around Normandy before and speak the language well enough that I can get around, although the level of English and German speaking in France is incredible. Really makes the UK look shit when most of us only know one language and you guys are all multilingual
The accent down there is craaaazy, though. It took all week before I could stop asking people to repeat what they'd said. The inflection and cadence is completely different from the North, and it really tricked my brain. It's more Italian-sounding than French! Even my girlfriend who is from Normandy was struggling to understand them.
If you ever visit, make sure you try the pan-bagnat and the daube de bœuf à la niçoise. Mind-blowingly good and I'd never seen either in the North.

Just back from a glorious eight days in Cannes, Nice & Monaco. Utterly stunning part of the world - every place looked just like a postcard.
Took some snaps of course!
Walking a lap of the Monaco street circuit was on my bucket list, and I can't tell you how incredible that experience was. Standing in the middle of the Fairmont Hairpin as the sun set behind the Monaco hills was something truly special.

Yeah, I think rather than approaching this from back to front, your best bet would be to conventionally light the map with enough fill sources that you don't need to use the minimum light level property. That way your dark room will be dark.
Afaik, minimum light level is global.

I'm confused. In the video it looks like 2 rooms are reflecting correctly + the one with the buttons (with the dynamic water) is incorrect.
Can you explain the problem more clearly?
Basically:
Materials with DX7 support have 'DX7' in their names. These textures should only be used for dynamic water (water tied to an entity).
For non dynamic water, simply use a non-DX7 water material on the top face, nodraw on every other face and don't tie it to an entity.

The water moves, as in it's dynamic. Reflective shaders do not work on dynamic water. Use a DX7 water material to avoid flickering.
The water moves, which means the material has to be a DX7 water texture iirc.
DX7 water doesn't support realtime reflections and is pretty janky at the best of times.

I think if you make a mod with the best intentions, that is, to have people play and enjoy your hard work; you'll potentially find yourself presented with new opportunities.
If you think it's the fast-track to money, you'll probably find your Prospekts diminishing.

Hot damn, Moaby. That looks fantastic! Are all the assets yours?

Haha, don't worry, nobody will steal your work here.
We employed* Penguinboy as a programmer on our mod The Core. Turns out he was just doing it to get access to our nice map and hurt all the architecture. Don't fall for the same trick, SSB!
Hi SourceSkyBoxer, thanks for showing those examples.
Could you use Jpegs for screenshots, though? 1MB for a 1024 x 768 image is pretty unnecessary.
I know 1MB isn't massive, but I view the site on my phone quite often and it all adds up!

Well that's a bit of a dick post.
You've probably hit a hard engine limit which is crashing the game. Post your compile log and check your map for problems in Hammer with Alt+P.
Ha, try to think a little more laterally, Jeff ^_^
It's an entity!

Source mapping does not use .wad files at all. Each individual texture has its own .vtf & .vmt file.
The folder structure defined in the .vmt (can be opened in notepad) must be retained in your game files for Hammer and the game to recognise them.
You don't need to add them to Hammer like you did with .wads. It will automatically populate your materials list with all the .vtf files it can find in the game's materials directory.

Ha, I think I was worried that the first two would be too difficult, so I made the last three too easy!
haha, I think I get it.
The second one is Multisource, right?
Third one "Not in Deathmatch"?
This one might be tricky!
