I know it's a little late but i never get any decent amount of time on the net over the weekend. :(

Anyone have any bad luck on friday? I did, buses appears to be the overall problem.

Waiting for my 13.15 bus which was late anyway and another bus broke down in the bay it arrives in. Then the bus that finally came fell apart as it pulled in, electrical cables dangling from the ceiling!!!

Got to my G/F's house and stayed until the 15.15 bus came. Got on that and as we pulled into a bus stop a car crashed into the back, smushing the engine and stopping the bus dead. Considering that it was now nearly 5 'o' clock and i was working at 6.30 i was a bit pissed. Especially now that i had a 45 minute walk home. Not only that but it took 10 minutes for the police to turn up and then they had to take everyone's details. ARGH!!!

Got to work on time but i didn't have time to eat.

I'm still alive.

--Chapter 5--
--Lost roads to nowhere--

?That?s it. We can?t go back? said Fitz

?Why the Hell not!?? yelled a voice from the back

?Because they can?t do anything from back there. We might as well stick back to avoid the danger and then see what we can do when we get there.?

?Ok,? said Mark ?so what do we do??

?We?ll head over to Eli?s.? Fitz sighed ?It?s 5 miles by road but I?m sure it does a U-turn and comes back around somewhere. We?ll be better cutting across the countryside. The combine will be less concentrated around there anyway.?

The men scrambled away from the road onto the grassy verge. The truck lay lifeless in the road, smoking from underneath the bonnet. Mark turned back and looked at Holden?s body.

?Asshole.? He muttered and he turned and carried on up the hill.

The men could feel the strain in there legs as they continued an uphill march off the main road. The top of the hill was in sight. They climbed up to the top and paused for a second, looking across the vast hills and fields, which were lush and green. The tall-untouched grass swayed in the breeze. To the left of them was the city. They weren?t all that far away. The citadel was still churning the ground and spewing out scanners. Airships could be seen hovering in and out of the gaps between the tall blocks.

The discovery of Eli?s lab and the supposed destination of the ?free man? had caused a rush of excitement among the combine ranks. Only the combine knew what was waiting to be rushed in from inside the infamous black tower.

?Get down!? Yelled Fitz

The men instantly hit the floor and vanished into the tall grass. The humming of rotors could be heard very close by. The combine had mobilised a lot of their infantry to take Eli?s place. Two more gigantic drop ships swept across the sky above their heads parting the grass as they went.

?I?d hate to be at Eli?s right now.? Said a voice

?Quiet.? Yelled Fitz

A third drop ship flew over and banked to the right towards the road. A few seconds after it returned with the battered truck clutched to its under belly.

?Where are they taking that Fitz?? asked Mark

?No idea.?
The drop ship vanished into the open side of the citadel, which closed up behind it.

?I guess they must be researching our technology.? Fitz pondered. ?Lets move. We can?t afford to wait around.?

The men started up into a jog across the fields, always keeping an eye out for movement. Suddenly Fitz stopped again.

?Down!? he yelled. Once again the men hit the floor.

?What the hell is it now?? Mark asked

?I saw something moving in that tree.?

?Which one?? Mark asked, ?There?s at least 10 bloody trees in that field!?

?Hey!? the tree spoke ?Who are you guys.?

?Don?t move a muscle.? Fitz whispered.

?Hello.? The voice came again. ?Identify yourself or I will open fire!?

?Damn.? Fitz said. He rose to his feet. ?Resistance team on the way to Black Mesa East!?

A figure dropped from a tree and ran through the grass as the rest of the men got to their feet. He was wearing a metro cop outfit with the mask hanging from a strap on his waist.

?Why are you dressed like that?? Fitz said. ?You?ll get killed by your own guys.?

?Hey,? he said. ?This just happens to be the best armour available. Plus it acts as a disguise.?

?What of your weapons?? asked Fitz

?Crossbow of course.? He said ?Swinging the bolt gun around from on his back.?

?Hmmm.? Fitz pondered and turned to Mark. ?I don?t know about this guy. He?s got some good weaponry on him but he comes of as a little?well?strange. You decide whether he comes with us.?

A) He can come. He?s got some good resources.

B) No! Who can say he?s not a spy? He is wearing a combine uniform and seems pretty well equipped.

I'll keep this in short bursts in a list or i'll get lost. :nuts:

Key needed to open door. (message triggered 'you need a key')

message near key to point it out. (Its on a desk surrounded by trigger_multiple to keep message 'key' flashing up.)

pick up key (func_button), triggers message 'you got the key'

message targets multisource 'ms1' to unlock trigger_once to open door. plus kills the message 'you need a key'

return to desk and i get the message 'key' and i've run out of ways to try and kill it.

My new plan goes like this.

Pickup the key which triggers another multisource 'ms2'.

'ms2' makes a second trigger work which kills the message 'key' while at the same time triggering the second message 'you got the key'

2 trigger_once
2 trigger_multiple
2 Multisource
1 env_message needed to target 'ms1' (others are set within the triggers)
1 func_button

...and finally the reason for all this...

1 sodding func_door

I aint using no custom models for the key cos i can't be arsed to be honest. Just a block with a transparency texture with a key on.

Is this the easiest way to do this!? :zonked:

The game is set inside the creaive part of my brain. (note the blandness) As you progress each level the mind has a Brainwave.

Ideas come in the for of pushable boxes that must be placed into the holes in the walls. When the holes are filled in a room and due to the brainwave you enter a more complex area. As you progress you have to contend with complex ideas in the form of barriers, evil thoughts in the form of painful red squares and distractions which take to form of nasty little face slicing critters. Its actually quite entertaining even for me and i'm making the level.

Oh and later you are given a time limit and if it runs out I get bored and my mind shuts off erasing everything, even you.

The best bet is to check the lights.rad file in notepad. Find the texture name and copy the light value. Paste it into the brightness field of a light entity and have the breaking light trigger it.

As for the sound. Have you entered all the ambient_generic's fields correctly. You only need the type ambience/example.wav

Not the drive and every folder on the way.

It may depend on the format too. Use Sound Recorder from windows to record as it saves to a HL compatible wav.

That's the end of my wisdom on sounds.

The transfer to Eli?s lab was basically a few miles drive in an open top truck. It was old and shaky and smelt of dry blood from the wound that had been carried from battles earlier in the day. The guy in the back obviously didn?t have the stomach for this kind of thing, hurling his head over the edge of the rails and spraying vomit into a steaming trail behind the truck.

Mark turned to Fitz who, under the command of Holden, had been busted back to private.

?You ok?? he asked

?Yeah, fine.? Said Fitz ?It was a nightmare anyway.?

?What? You saved our Asses by getting past those zombies?

?I got 4 guys killed. Carlos. The guy who had his face eaten by that headcrab.

?Yeah.? Said Mark ?What about him??

?He was my sisters husband. The combine separated them 2 years ago. I promised them I?d get them back together.?

?You couldn?t help that.?

?I don?t know how I?m going to tell her. Such a horrible way to go. There?s no way I can explain how it happened.?

?Hey.? Said Mark ?We?re slowing down.?

He was right. The truck?s brakes where screeching wildly to try and slow the heavy, aging body of the vehicle down. Holden ran out of the cabin.

?Get out!?

The men paused and looked at each other.

?NOW!? his face was red.

The men piled out of the truck and stood in a chevron formation behind the truck. There was a house in front of them, its windows were boarded and there was a hole in the roof.

?What is it sir?? asked Tower

?We received a distress beacon from this house.? Said Holden ?We need to check it out before we carry on to Eli?s.?

Just as he finished a group of 3 men stepped from around the back of the house. They wore white armoured outfits not unlike the combine soldiers in the streets. A single red eye lens reflected the environment around them. They were holding huge machine guns, which looked like nothing a human had ever made.

The men took aim with their Mp7s at the strange men and opened fire. Holden stood back and watched.

?Holden!? yelled Fitz ?Fire damn it.?

The bullets deflected off the armour of the elite combine armour and bounced on the ground.

?Damn!? yelled Tower ?Can?t get through.?

The combine took aim and fired with their advanced weaponry. The shots where bright blue bolts of alien metal which ripped through the trucks side and consequently the driver. The tyres burst and deflated making the truck lean on one side.

?Cease fire.? Said Holden

All the men did except for Tower. He kept firing at the heads of the elites. The aimed there guns and fired. A barrage of foreign lead from 3 machine cannons ripped through Tower?s body. Blood shot out of his back and onto the side of the battered truck. He fell to his knees and flopped forwards onto his face with a loud crunch. He lay in a flood of crimson, lifeless.

?Tower!? Yelled Fitz ?God damn it.?

?Throw you?re guns over.? Ordered the combine.

?Do as they say.? Said Holden, tossing his rifle to the elites. The men hesitated and then did as they were told.

The elites marched forward to Holden. For some reason he was smiling. Did he want to die?

?From what I?ve seen Eli?s Black Mesa East is down this road for about 5 miles.? He said as he handed a grid map over to the lead combine.

?Holden!?? gasped Fitz ?What the fuck are you doing!??

The combine didn?t say anything. The leader handed the map back to the one on his right. They marched back to the house and chattered some coordinates through one of the windows. Just as they did a Gunship flew by in the direction of Eli?s place closely followed by 2 combine hunter choppers. The combine turned to Holden.

?You want you?re uniform back?? they asked

?Yeah,? Holden sneered at the men ?may as well.?

The combine disappeared around the back of the house. The men glared at Holden. He looked back, still smiling.

?I?m surprised you didn?t figure it out already.? He laughed.

?Fuck you.? Muttered Mark. There was no hesitation. He dove to Tower?s body and grabbed the Mp7 from his limp fingers. He rolled and sprayed 10 rounds into Holden?s chest. The kickback sent his body flailing and twitching backwards over the hood of the truck. There was a thud as his body hit the floor over the other side.

?Nice shot Mark.? Said Fitz

An APC rumbled around the corner and opened fire towards the men. The shots hit the truck and floor throwing up hot dust and tarmac. The men scrabbled around to the other side of the truck. Holden?s body lay in a pool of blood, which dribbled into the cracks in the road surface. The APC stormed onto the road causing the truck cover to vibrate. An elite hopped on the side of the APC and they rolled off down the road towards Eli?s Place.

?Goddamn!? said Fitz ?What now.?

?We?ve got to warn the guys at Eli?s.?

?How?? Fitz roared, ?The only radio we?ve got is at home base. We?ve just come from there. We?ve got to go and help them.?

?ARGH!? a man piped up. ?Somebody make a decision.?

A) Follow the 5 mile road to Eli?s and try and help out.

B) Return to home base and radio Black Mesa East

Not many choices today but you don?t always get a great deal of choice in combat or indeed life.
