I think that what'll happen is a bullsquid comes up to you, suddenly unzips like a jacket, and out comes a woman who says; "Gordon, I've been following you for the past few years. I work for the FBI."That would be utterly creepy and fulfill the scare factor of HL2.

Newell claims it will be in the hands of Vivendi in Early August, so it will probably be out in late August, just in time for School to start. Oh boy.
On a side note, did anyone read PCGamer's review of Doom3 this month? That comes out Aug. 4th to the public, so that should tide me over until HL2 comes my way. Yes, August is shaping up to be the month of Gaming Goodness. Mmm....gaming goodness.

Ooh...prequels. I can play as Freeman and wander around Sector C annoying Scientists, drinking beer with Barney and doing boring paperwork for the Administrator! Sounds like fun!
Trigger_once that targets an env_explosion, which would damage the pin and break it?
Right, but it takes more work to make the lip value perfect to make the lift look proper on a lift door than just making a func_train and setting up path corners and doing it that way.
Probably. They're pretty flexible. If Imageshack supports hotlinking and such, I'll just make them my image server and Dhost my file/page server.
They are harder to use and require more fiddling with as lifts.

If you have custom textures, it's easiest to wadinclude them.

I might get a different image host, but stick with them for bandwith and space...havent found anywhere else free for 100mb/300gb.
...nevermind. They don't allow hotlinking, just remembered that.
You can go to http://dhost.info/RabidMonkey777/img and look near the top if youre so inclined to, or search the Hammer manual for 'Reshaping Solids' and look under 'Clip Planes'.

...why did I make a bad link? Ugh...too late at night. I don't think straight.

That should work.

Because it's late here.

g33 man seems like the kind of guy who would end up stabbing both in the back, forcing Freeman and Shepard to work together...who knows will happen?
Just right-click Sven on the Third-Party games menu on Steam and run it from there...if you get the HL screen, try making a game and see if its SC.
I was working on a map and needed to clip my brush. I accidentaly toggled these little dimension numbers when I tried to clip on, a pic is at the link.

It's a helpful tool, but the usage of it was buried in the Hammer manual, and doesn't look commonly used. It's toggled on/off by pressing o when you have a brush selected in Clip mode. It makes precise clipping a whole lot easier, so for all of you who never knew about it, give it a try.
Hopefully, you'll find this useful.
Happy mapping.

Left click.
You can't make sky brushes func_walls, or any other brush entity. . Same with clip brushes.
I saw a screenshot of it. It shows the monster models within the editor, thats how you edit them like toonton said.That would be Hammer 3.5. There's a link at VERC.
Why do I have 3 7's? Because 7 would be too much
. There was a thread on names a while ago, go search for it.Search VERC.
So if SC doesn't start, it seems like a Steam error and not a compile error. Can you play Half-Life, Cstrike, DoD, TFC, etc, or is it just a SC error? If it's an SC error, reinstall.
I think you're an intelligent enough person that if you think about it a minute you would get it. Or, search Tommy14 or the forums.
You would have to rewrite that code into the existing game, though.
Do you have Zoner's tools? If not, get them. What do you mean the game won't run? You've started up SC and it doesn't load your map? Compile error? What?
It doesn't sound like a map issue, though. I have the same problem on some official maps. Just sounds like a CS bug. I updated with Steam and it never happened again.
The Hammer 3.5 beta has model and animation view support in-editor. I have it, it makes scripted seqs about 10x easier to do..
Umm, Half-Life 2 isn't even out yet. I hope you don't have the leaked copy and are trying to map for it.
When it's released, the tools will be released. I believe it uses Hammer for editing, probably a new version, and will have its own little FGD, textures, etc.

SvenCoop does not come in a GCF file for Steam, if that's what your missing. It goes in YourEmailhalf-lifesvencoop or something of that sort.
You can probably get teh FGD from the SC site, and the CFG probably comes installed with it, if not, reinstall.

Lol. I'm a bit slow on these things....
Actually, I had left for dinner and left this page open.

That's in Red Faction too. Just different colors and more smiley. Just a developer test image.
The BS2 files are similar to BSP, only a few different lump sizes than BSP.
You can open all the models in ModelViewer, too, just rename the dol to mdl. The textures are all screwy, but you could reskin them, or write a program to view them and then they would look OK.
Useless fact: .dol is named after Matthew VanDolen, a Gearbox coder.

They won't, but they've slaved away hours on them and they don't like people using them for anything but NS. Respect their terms of usage. Read the FAQ page on NS.org for the entire explanation.

You can get NS there. Don't use their textures for anything other than NS editing, or the team will hunt you down and destroy you.

Make a multimanager that gets triggered at the start of the game that triggers your escape point after 240 seconds.
If it gives a brush number/ent number with the coords, just go to Map-Go to Brush Number... and input the number and then it should take you to the error.
If you have teh Ps2 version, half of the sounds folder was unused...kind of sad, if they had added the extra levels it would've been great. Ah well.
the GeForce 6800 and it sucks.The GeForce 6800 ran Halo at 32bit at 1600x1200 at full graphics settings at a decent average 55fps....not too horrible, is it?
You work alongside Barney, that I know.
I read an interview that either Sierra or Valve is gonna finish up the newer games like HL2 and then get shut down. The parent company is losing money or something like that.Sierra is closing, thanks to Vivendi. Apparently it doesnt produce enough money for the company, but VALVe will still remain open to my knowledge. It was probably one of my fav game companies....made some killer games in teh 80s, and of course, distributed Half-Life and the expansions, along with other decent games.
Yes, they're porting over HL to Source. That will be a very tasty port.
OpFor and Bshift may be converted, but will we ever figure out what happens next with the two sub-characters? Will we ever know what happens to Shepard and Calhoun? Stay tuned
!
Replaying OpFor and Shift in Source will be good and all, but I want to know why Shepard got taken away and what he's up to, not just hear about Gordon's happy little adventure. What happened to Calhoun after he drove off with some scientists one afternoon at Black Mesa? What were those anomalous materials people dabbling in, anyways? Have you gotten the beverage machine to work yet? Can we do this later? Who is teh g33 man? Are you running those tunneling lattice calculations again? What is that stench? And why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties? These , my friends, are the REAL questions I want answered in Half-Life 2!

I'd point them that direction, but I haven't looked at the tuts for ages. Havent needed one 
.
.By copying the DLL, you'd have all the features of HL and CS. More weapons, you couldn't buy the HL ones though so you'd have to put them in the map, monsters, scripted sequences, etc.
There is a BS2. It's the HLPS2 Map format .
The names will probably be different than just adding a '2' at the end. I don't think there will be a 'Blue-Shift2', but I'm hoping for 'OpFor'....whatever did happen to Shepard after he got taken away by teh g33 man? I know Barney shows up in City 17, there's just as good a chance that Shepard does as well.
g33 man detained Shepard and 'employed' Freeman, but Barney is 'Out of Reach' and knows a bit too much about Black Mesa, so he's obviously not in g33 man's plans. Hmm.....all this mystery shall be revealed when HL2 arrives.

It's in the PAK/GCF file, but I don't think it was used in the final game. Play some of the barney sounds, it's there. It's from the level c2a4 or one of it's sublevels, so take a look in your PAK or GCF's sound folder.
The compiler telling you the track_train is leaking means there is a leak near it. Use your pointfile or your other preferred method of leak finding.
Ah, good old AutoCad. A very cool program.

I don't think you can delete accounts. That is probably the reason it doesnt work for you, however.
