in BioShock vs. CoD4 Post #245778
The 2 games do not compare in the slightest. Get both?

Both are good but on different levels. I have Bioshock and so far I love it but I refuse to play any more of it until I build myself a new rig that will run well with the Graphics maxed out.

Haven't bought CoD4, see above reason.

I may get CoD4 on the 360 though just so that I can kick my manager's arse on Live.

I believe the SDK is b0rked since the Orange Box release. You could compile with the ep2 engine but then it would only work in ep2.

This is something that came to me at work. You may like it or it may be a sucky idea but I'll just put it out there.

A 'Mods Vault' or something along those lines. As well as the maps and mods forum, how about a page with details and screenshots from mods either in development or released which members believe (via a poll or vote or request or demand or court order) deserves more attention. The page can contain about 8 - 10 screenshots, a bit of info including a storyline and a link to forum page / download.

That way if new members come to the site regarding a mod they've heard about or even if they are just looking around, they can go straight to that page and go through the list of mods that are hosted on TWHL.

I might be better for the map vault too. (Personally, I rarely look in there for mod releases and instead wait for a forum link)

Ok, I'm done. :^_^:

Post a compile log so we can get a better idea as to where the problem may be. RAD tends not to run if there is a major problem with one of the other programs.

I heard about this a while back and remeber thinking "Ha! What a joke!"

But now, I'm stumped. For one thing, its still alive and secondly it looks gorgeous. As for humour, I'd say Barney's reaction to seeing a cat would be far more amusing that a scripted gag reel.

As for question 2 "light_environment is used in outdoor areas or wherever you have a sky texture. If you don't want shadows you'll just have to mess around with the settings of the light entity or use more textlights or something.

Wait. So its your map? Surely going through it in Hammer would be quicker.

I'm sure there is a command that tells you the model you are actually looking at but that would take longer. :nuts:

Also I can't remember the command.

in transparent textures are gay Post #244024
Not so much re-doing it. Just use the 'fill' tool on the section you want invisible. Its often just a one click job.

Additive is what you use for glass and such. It renders lighter colours more vividly while darker colours are more faded. Therefore, white would be completely white and you wouldn't be able to see through unless you used a lower 'FX' value than 255. Black is completely invisible whenever it is tied to an additive effect.

Heh, already tried all those with the exception of modding the rad file.

Its definatly not an issue with the textlights I used as they are the same as the ones in a previous section which doesn't have any problems at all.

in transparent textures are gay Post #244020
You need to set a pure blue colour (R 0 G 0 B 255) to the last slot in the pallette (255) which I can see you've done.

However you then have to select that slot in wally and use the fill tool to go over the area you want to be transparent.

That should work.

(Even in your first example where you have blue at the start and end of the pallette you will still need to go into the texture in wally and make sure that you use the bottom-right one to fill in the area you want to be transparent.)

Well applying func_walls to the brushes with problems is a bitch because they are outer brushes. Especially the first pic with the black floor. :nervous:

Also, func_walls seem to make any models on top of them turn black.

Hay guys. Recently started working on OIFH again as you may or may not know. However on compiling the map to check lighting and such something strange has happened.

NOTE: My PC has been slightly upgraded with another Gig of RAM and a better graphics card.

This is a screenie of the latest room and as you can see the lighting is more than a little fucked. :rly:
