With a few tweaks, its easy to leave the 6D feel behind and start new.
Is that a good or a bad thing?
And I'm always up for voice acting. :crowbar:

in half life dedicated server Post #241505
steam itself is small. only like.. 605kb It just organizes your games for you.

So download steam, re-download half life (using the WON cd key) [it should also give you blue shift, opfor, and counterstrike i think because you owned the won version)

transfer all your map data to the steamapps/urname/halflife/valve/maps folder, and you should be all set.

And mapping for steam is the same as mapping for won.

2 differences

you have to change the BSP directory, and you can't run the map after compiling from hammer. But you should use a batch compiler anyway.

yep. As captain terror said, It's a great way to make stuff.
As long as each of the 4 sides have 3 edges each (triangular prism) You will never get in invalid brush unless you flip a point through the opposite side.

in how to install hammer with no internet Post #241303
well... you can put all the files into your laptop via a CD (just compress the whole steam folder into cd-size files (700mb each)) and transfer them onto the laptop one at a time.

Then you can use the modem for updates.
You might have some registry glitches, but the updates should iron out as long as you have a valid username.
Try that out.

The only advantage of Fuel injected versus Carburetor is a cold start, and it's harder to run an electronic System thru a carb.

And for the viper vs the ford.
Viper has ford for straights, but sucks on cornering. So it depends if you're doing a drag or a street course.
Then you have to factor in gear ratios for drags, or suspension/ chamber angle for street courses.

in how to install hammer with no internet Post #241085
Well you need internet for the startup.
With an internet connection you can get everything set-up, download everything, update everything, and then when you're disconnected, you can run Steam in off-line mode.

Everything works the same, only you're off-line.

Steam is a bit touchy with off-line mode so it doesn't work 100% of the time.

Video Tutorials

I've been doing a few youtube videos recently. Maybe we can run through some of the written tutorials and show people how to do it using a video? Or just make new ones? Maybe breakdown complicated entity setups and stuff?

If we link to youtube we're limited to 10 minutes, but then we can split them up into parts.

he's right. you gotta use the "-engine ep1" command.
Put it in the launch options for the SDK then restart steam and try loading it that way.

Click on the blue then do a flood-fill on the background. Sometimes it changes color.

And if you have it wrong, it'll flood-fill with a different color. Then you gotta mess with it. Wally is a terrible program to learn. It's seemingly random.
