I look forward to hearing more about this mini-mod. More GoldSRC! Yum yum!
Well, here's your red flag
/reference.smd.smd doesn't existOtherwise the problem is pretty vague without getting more details. What's in the .qc file? What have you tried changing? Are all the files present that should be?

I won't be keeping it on my drive forever, so grab it now and put it somewhere safe. Why not reupload it if they're your maps @Cabo.
Clickity!

I actually still have Mrpo's corridor and dormitories maps, but not the wad they need to run. (I think this was a combination of textures from Blue-Shift and Opposing Force)
As for the others, Jessie is currently working her way through the entire map vault on stream, and noting those that are missing. Any older ones that have not been recovered by now are potentially lost forever.

Sounds like a compile error. If any of the tools encounter a problem, RAD likely won't run at all.
Are there any errors in your compile log?

Sounds interesting I guess. I personally don't really go in for these kinds of mods since I've played the Half-Life campaign to death... and then a little more.
I'd much prefer to play an entirely new campaign with the same old characters and weapons over another remix of the Half-Life campaign. Of course a complete overhaul of the gameplay which INCLUDES a brand new set of maps to play through is the best case scenario.

In my opinion, I would agree with that. I tend to write the summary of each map based on how the voting went. Personally, I'd say Captain P's entry is great, but in terms of the theme of the competition, it was my third place compared to the other two.
hermanJnr definitely deserved the win and I'm happy to see that others agreed with me as such.

A bunch of really great entries for this one, and I'm impressed at the amount of content you put out given the time limit.

Just over two hours left on the competition. If you're still working, better get things wrapped up and tested.
These are entertaining as well as being informative. I already disagree with some of the tools you recommended, but you know what? Who asked? 
Also big thumbs up for Nobuo Uematsu every time.

in Does someone knows where is it? (Texture "silo2_wet2") Post #344343
Assuming they took the images themselves, you're likely looking at a harbour in Bellevue, WA where Valve is based. There's no way to know for sure though.
I mean, all the information is on the briefing page
2020-06-01 23:59:59 UTCBest of luck.
Yeah, I just fired up your warehouse map in Half-Life via the console and it played with no problems.

Glad you solved it, but yeah. When it comes to audio, record in high quality, then kill the background noise and compress the clean recording down to 22k Hz.

Euw. No.
I mean it may be possible with significant coding.

Indeed, as the rule says, mini-mods are a-ok. Overwriting /valve content is not. 
I have no intention to work with these tools as I don't even like Source 1. What I will say though is that the way the editor works actually makes me think of the Unreal Engine, hollowing out world spaces rather than building them wall by wall.

in How to edit already existing Half-Life maps? Post #344244
In a word, no. You can decompile the existing maps but this is more for the purpose of reference. There is no way to recompile them into a playable map.
The only option would be to decompile the maps for reference, and then completely rebuild them, which I would say is far more hassle than it is worth for what you're suggesting, personally.

That's looking pretty neat.
Other than triggering some in-game effect using the entities available in the editor, I doubt there is anything that can be done without some form of coding. Otherwise I'm sure somebody would have found some way to implement it in the last 20 years. 
I have no issues with that. It simply wasn't in the checklist of games I could select when setting up the competition.
Well, it's good to have you back. That's looking like a pretty solid foundation so far.
Well... Holy balls.
This is actually one I would have loved to make a map or series of maps for myself. Likely would have gone for a mini-mod starring a uniquely skinned and fully voiced Barney, but there is no way I have time for that. Maybe I will revisit the idea once The Core is out of my life.
Yeah, honestly that sentence is absolutely fine if you remove either pineapple, pizza, or the. Otherwise it's just wrong.Pineapple pizza is the shit.You've got one extra word you don't need there.
Respectfully disagree. They miss the mark completely in my opinion.Exactly my opinion, but aimed at Doom 3.
In this competition, no. I would prefer if maps were strictly single-player for the sake of the community vote.
Regardless of the glory kill mechanic (which is a perfectly reasonable means of getting a small health boost in terms of gameplay) DOOM 2016 feels a lot closer to the frantic fun my friends and I had with Doom 1 and 2 back in the early 90s. They were never scary, but they were always hilarious. I enjoyed Brutal Doom for a while, but I much prefer the vanilla Doom experience.
DOOM 3 was such a massive disappointment in terms of the overall feel and sluggish pace. At the time it was visually stunning, but I never finished it because it was boring and it got uninstalled as soon as Half-Life 2 came out.
Looking forward to grabbing Eternal on pay day.

You don't like the new Doom games? But they're so goodThis is correct.

in How do I properly make my own 2D Skybox using SkyPaint? Post #344069
Yeah, the first thing you're going to need is an image that can actually work as a skybox. The image you're using is only really wide enough to make up a single side. You need a panoramic, 360 degree shot to work with.
This one is actually in the right place.
Try Alt+P to check for errors. It might find these problematic brushes and allow you to fix them from there. Otherwise, you can use the Go To Brush button and then hit delete. It might not look as though you have anything selected, but hit delete anyways.
I've had to do that in the past.

Not quite sure what you mean. You shouldn't need to change the compile tools and you certainly don't want to be using Half-Life's original tools.
If it's not compiling with that wad in place, post a new compile log so we can see where it's tripping up.

Huh, that's odd. It should be included with the ZHLT compile tools because of their usage.
Best bet would be to just grab a fresh copy of the wad from the ZHLT files here.

Yeah
valve/zhlt.wadGet that out of there and add it again using the correct location. Or, place a copy of the zhlt.wad in your valve directory. That's what's breaking your compile.
Count: 0
Size: 0 B
That's issue number one then because the compile tools are looking for it there. Let's take a look at your textures tab in JACK. Alternatively, you could place a copy of the zhlt.wad file (this might be in the same directory as your compile tools: Compile Tools/zhtl/) in your valve folder and try the compile again.
Error: Could not open wad file /Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life/valve/zhlt.wadHere's your problem. It's an odd one though because I was under the impression that zhlt.wad textures aren't actually rendered when compiling... I assume that zhlt.wad is at least in the right place? (Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life/valve)
Error: Could not find WAD file
Description: The compile tools could not locate a wad file that the map was referencing.
Howto Fix: Make sure the wad's listed in the level editor actually all exist

in Black Mesa (Game) as posssible allowed game in future competitions Post #344039
Moved to the site comments and suggestions. I set up the competition but neglected to notice that Black Mesa isn't actually an option when setting up the competition rules. It's also not an option when submitting maps to the vault... Well spotted.
To be fair TJB, that graph was getting dangerously high. This crash is good for everyone.
I think it works in Alyx because she's an established character who we're familiar with from previous titles. I don't think a talking protagonist by any way removes from an experience, but then I was brought up on Build engine games, famous for mouthy protagonists.
I still prefer it to control and camera being wrenched away from the player entirely so we can see a cutscene that we ultimately have no involvement with.

Stop looking at my briefs!
You asked for it so here it is. A new mini-competition courtesy of yours truly. Something to do while the entire world is on lockdown...
You've got a little bit more time for this one, (eight weeks from right now) with the chance of it being extended further if the need arises.

I'll be honest. A lot of the motivation with this thread was to see people get fired up about their dislikes for my own amusement.
It's working.

in How to get rid of the yellow pollen effect when an NPC is inside a wall Post #343964
Spirit of Half-Life has a lot of issues depending on the version that you use. I've not tried it recently, but if I recall it is not possible to play through the whole of the HL1 campaign using the Spirit engine. A lot of features can glitch out and certain entities don't behave the way they should.
Spirit is best used for full mods where you have control over the entities/entity setups and can adapt to the quirks that go with it.
