I have a very big problem... I have made an Omaha Beach map and a few monster_human_grunt_ally(s) are in it.. I have set them to be ally with player and yet when i play the map, they shoot many little holes in my avatars frail body... WHY ARENT THEY ALLIES?

So now the map is impossible because as soon as you pawn you get shot and killed before you even collect a weapon.

Please contribute your skills to this idea!

--THE IDEA--

Hello! I would like to make a fresh proposal for my new HL1 mod idea.
I alread have The Killer working with me so I only need three people.
The SP mod, Hostage Situation, will consist of six chapters that each contain two maps. Each person involved will make a chapter and we will all make the sixth.
I am currently setting up a website that will be used by the people involved to upload their latest stuff and also to exchange ideas.

--THE MOD--

An un-official army (probably modded marines) will be creating some sort of secret weapon and using captured scientists for the manufacturing part. Gordon gets a message from Kleiner who has been captured, informing him of the siruation.

--THE CHAPTERS--

1. "Home sweet home." (Gordon is homesafe when he recieves a MESSEGE from doctor kleiner who informs him that the marines are holding hostages and using them for evil slave labour.)

2. "Finding old buddies." (Gordon goes in search of barney to help him on his difficult mission.)

3. "Rescue party." (Enter the abandoned military base and find Kliener and the others.)

4. "Bigger problem." (The hostages inform you that they had made a nuclear device. Barney takes the hostages back home.)

5. "It shouldn't take less than a minute." (You go to find who is in charge and where the nuclear warhead is being kept.)

6. [all mappers work on it] (Gordon of course finds G-man who laughs manically before entering a teleport that then disappears. You are left with a countdown of a minute to find and destroy the launching program)

You wont see any LAN games unless a computer on the network has hosted... You probably know this but just incase...

You didnt make it very clear. Also check your router

Hi folks.
Im finished making my mod for fy_2town with de_2town.
The ehole map is properly closed off with no leaks as far as i can tell and i did run the RAD....
There is an error message at the end of the compiling report but nothing came up with alt + p...

get more memory? whats ur system like?

Cool. BUT IT STILL DOESNT HELP lol..

i know this is an old thread but i'm still ooking for that texture.. it would be very useful if someone could tell me where to get it.. I cant find it on google, Altavista or Ask.com

fair nuff but Hammond aint in the new series which suks btw.. i mean they STILL have daniel die in every episode
so PaLO can i get that texture off u?

ok... so im looking for this texture then... what is func_illusionary? iv nevr come accross it b4...
I love the avatar btw PaLO

hey bratty, your just pumpin weird al yankovich insults from genius in france... "I'm dumber than a box of hair, but those frenchies dont seem to care!"

Um, also i dont have the liquids.wad because i cant find it in my steamapps folder anywhere.. im using a really rubbish water so if you could direct me to the liquids.wad as well id be majorly happy..

I just finished a stargate based map and i was just about to compile when i remembered that i haden't add the water to the gate.. I made the brush, textured it water and used the func_water entity. However, in-game, the water does not appear.. I thought i might be because the water is vertical because iv used water b4 and nevr had this problem.. any help? thanks

oooooooh... wow.. im thickass. thanks.. whoever u are.

HEY FOLKS! ITS THE GUY YOU LOVE TO HATE, HUNTER!!!
anyhoo, i have a very high-detail map and it takes forever to compile so i decided i would cut a few things and make a few brushes into entities.. that sort of thing.. So i have lots of curves and wheels and i would like to select them all and do something simple like func_wall.. however, it would take me a good hour to select them all.. >:( is there a way i can select JUST brushes with no entities.. like select all non-entities.. does that make sense?

ok.. thanks

i no i no... evrything seems fine... i figured it.. it wont run with 31 armouries.. 30 max?

i had 32 weapons.. one for each spawn point

ok... sigh.. long night for the hunter.. g'night folks.. and thanks

yeah.. works fine without weapons

i think i spy a plan... pk. hang on... ill report back my findings (however the map did compile the last time i tested it with buyzones)

that didnt help much... hmm.. my map wont run... it compiles fine but wont run. i have less than 8 WADs... the filename is short... no spaces.. no error msgs while compiling.. its odd

I just made an fy map for CS and i need to know what the maximum number of weapon spawns i can place is.. i read in a forum that the game will crash if there are too many but it didnt specify how many.. thanks

that did it... i should really read these things over more... sorry about the waste of time and thanks very much....

I know this error shows up loads in the forums and YES i have read tommy 14 errors and NO!!! IT STILL DOESNT WORK!!! why does nothing go right for me? the filename is only the drive and the rmf, I have only used 2 wads (so far) and there are no spaces.
Any help would be much appreciated... Thanks

its a very small map tho... (skybox the size of dust2_mini)

yeah... lots of no-usable eye-candy vehicles and i went for high detail... i wanted it to look quite "real"

so if i left it, it would eventually complete it.... would this cause lag on the game? if so i will go through with that.. thankyou seventh.

Ok, iv just finished (in my opinion) the best map iv ever made... I'm all happy and i start to compile it (using batch compiler, but not the latest)
and it starts going. After an hour, and its still not done i get a bit suspicious but leave it going (its at leafthread 5 at this point) i then go to bed and awake the next morning to find it still at leafthread 6... this is very annoying as it shows no error message and looks like it is working... Any help please?

im not THAT experianced a mapper but I have yo say that i think its a bit silly to start on a big project... start small and make some individual and multi maps... THEN go on for a big series

thanks v much... Goldwave is so nice and simple.. thanks. its workin fine

done done done im afraid do the sounds have to be in a specific folder?

OK, here's the deal.
I've started making a map that so far is going brilliantly and i thought i could make it even better by adding a few sounds (e.g. an alarm, beacon etc etc) and so after checking the tuts list and not coming up with anything, decided to try myself... i created a simple rectangular brush to be my burglar alarm (its called cs_terrorhouse, a normal house gets broken into yada yada yada) and i then created the entity "ambient_generic" and set all the settings to the filename i wanted, the range and such but when i compiled and played, the sound didn't play.. anyone help me here? i checked some other related forum posts but found nothing... much appreciated, James

i nkow its nothing to do with the post but that looks like a nice map... its very... very round and real looking... from the camera view anyways

ur not making this easy...

for mod directory? nope.. i just liek my full stops... and my lemons
