can't wait for pics
use the Cut tool for that. it allows you to draw edges on the faces for more detailed editing.So would that (cut tool) allow me to draw a box on the body and extrude the pickups?
And... your model puts mine to shame already
But i'll work until mine is complete.
Lol. I've had my experience at modeling before. I was pretty decent at blender but didn't do much because i could never figure out how to export to half life. Rimrook made this so stupidly easy that it gives me a nice goal to work towards. And i now know how to do most of the stuff i need to. The rest comes with time in the editor. Same thing with guitar. Once you know the basics, just keep playing and you'll get faster and better and yadda yadda.
Sooner or later you have 5 guitars, 4 amps, and a maxxed out credit card...
cough...
cough...
Anyway i ended up starting the body over. I figured creating blocks with the same thickness, deleting faces, and welding vertices together is a bit easer.. For me.. Because i'm obviously doing something wrong hah
and about the background thing. Blender had a feature like that so i figured Adobe would implement something as well. I searched and found it

Here's what i have so far. I'm having trouble with the slice plane. I'm selecting the edges i want to slice, but it seems to cut through the entire model. And my polygons look quite sloppy to me..

Well i don't want any old guitar, i want a Jackson Kelly Ke2. I already have the neck and headstock basically done. Ahh this is so much fun.
I figured out how to make the top viewport background an image. So that's helping me a WHOLE lot

i want to make a guitar as a crowbar replacement. Should i start first by just modeling it?
And then wait for the animation tuts?
I got thru the box and the pipe tutorials fairly quickly, and i must say your tuts helped me get started faster than anything i could google.
of course the promise of seeing a pipe textured with the shipment of win in a half life map composed strictly of AAAtriggers was a very good goal to work towards.

The original. Whoever covered it for GH3 ruined Guitar hero for me. I lost all respect for that game after playing that song. 
the devil went down to georgia... on double V elite..
oh my jesus

Well, i recommend buying it. Because it's 300x more addicting than peggle was for me. And i love how you can use your own music. Flying to my own band's soundtrack is pretty.. invigorating haha
hehehe. i made a crate!
ahh i have to thank you again rimrook.

Rim you're me hero. I'm starting the MAX one right now! 
Understand the beast before you tame it. So lets tame it already. Make it our bitch.
How's the gameplay?
I just wanna make weird looking aliens, bully and control weaker civilizations, and control the universe...
does that make me a little kid?
no
im getting this game. it's NOT like the sims if you read ANYthing about the game.
And the graphics can't be too stunning look at the scale of the game. you're dealing with an entire universe.

no i played it on normal.
but i did have a friend telling me what to do.
the only part i had to replay was the ac-130. I just HAD to fly that plane again.

woah, that's crazy. Dual monitors, im guessing?
I once saw the nintendo Zapper replacement for the glock.
um...
it should work. But.. since vis and rad were already run, just compile again without rad and vis, and include the wad.
Should be the same damn thing.

ugh. vista's not crap at all. its xp with better features + eye candy.
My bud uses Linux Mint, and he has been having some luck lately with wine. Says the latest update is working wonders.
i beat COD4 in 4 hours.
I was at my friends house playing it, he wanted to show it to me so i started a new campaign, got hooked, and ended up winning.

altho your answer failedwoah. harsh.
try copy+pasting the whole map into another new file in hammer, and re-compiling. :

just do the 10meters/second squared thing. estimate it, maybe do some basic calculations, or.. do it by eye.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG /death
/deathI had one those damn SV startvolume errors.. that held me back a week cuz i didnt feel like dealing with it. And i'm taking a really long time to progress thru this. my entity setups are extremely complicated so far.. hard to get the timing exact.
Yes. And according to this
The traincontroller follows the train on the track. It defines the area of the train you can control it in.

i believe you need a func_tracktrain
already been discussed klobb.
you have to hit the "i'm feeling lucky" button for that to work.
anyway type in:
french war victories
and hit "im feeling lucky"

Rimrook, as far as mods on this site go, any release is better than no release. Take your time, get a nice product. We'll be patiently waiting. 
Just push him in school for his entire life so his grades are good enough to get a full-ride to a state school

that should take care of your compile issues, as the wadinclude function is fool proof.
you're only supossed to use a maximum of 8 wads in each map. That can screw up a compile as well.
http://twhl.co.za/links.php
check the zoners links, or maybe someone can email you the zoners wad. Me, I can't right now as i don't have access to my computer ATM (im in the school's computer lab)
And for the blocklight thing, any brush based entity will not block light.
ANd.... though i highly recommend using the compilator, the syntax for the -wadinclude is this::
in the $CSG compile comand in exeprt mode just put this(without quotes):
"-wadinclude wadname"
you don't have to have ".wad" at the end of the filename, just make sure the wad is in the correct directory
I.E.:
C:Program FilesSteamSteamapps<yourusername>Half-Lifevalve

I never got to experience riven to it's full potential 
the disc was scratched and it kept freezing at the same point about 5 hours in
the disc was scratched and it kept freezing at the same point about 5 hours in damn that was fast! i'll start on mine in about.. 3 hours.. when i get home from class..
School and stargate Atlantis have been consuming my life lately, of course i have watched almost 3 full seasons of stargate in about 6 days. so that's my fault

i've played a tank game using wireframe polygons similar to this:
I think that's the first time i've seen polygons. I can't recall the real name of the game because i was so young when i was playing it, i just called it : Tanks
EDIT --
upon further research i stumbled on this site http://www.mrvideogames.net/historyofarcade-01.shtml
half way down it talks about battlezone, the game i was talking about.
So that's my guess.

daymn. happy 10 yearz half-life
Duab That was my exact idea! I don't care if you posted it or not because I just wanted to see what people can come up with! I'm excited for this one, and i will start once i return home! (At school right now, in my visual basic class)
And the best part about this, is the endless possibilities part!
Good call daub, and thanks for the kudos.

Grats daub!!
not for nothing, but take a step back and look at what you're trying to compile. Half life doesn't like complicated geometry much, captain
I would not be surprised at all by that compile.

i already have an idea if i were the winner hehehehe.
I've done soo many caves lol
Did you try re-boning and animating a backup? I'm not even sure it's the proper terminology there. Again, just throwing out ideas.
I also vote for daub =).
Well executed.

lets keep halo far away from half life.
Rim, did you recently update your computer?
Could you like.. do one of those fancy computer roll-back things to an earlier date (say a month ago) and try that?
No clue why it would work, if it were me in your situation, i would try that.
Of course, you're not me, but whatever.
