It's quite cheap. Just buy it.
No, you don't need spirit to get it to work. Just use spirit's spirit.dll and client.dll. And also, you'd need to include the aurora files and sprites (rain.spr, null.spr etc.).
I don't think we should vote like this. I think we should have a poll like we did with the last contest, and have the same 2 hour privilege that regulars get. Voting for yourself would have to be allowed, obviously, so maybe we shouldn't vote. Maybe we should just all get together on IRC or something and decide then.
You don't need HLMV to see models in the 3d view but you do need to unpack the models folder.
Don't doors also have a message if triggered property?
I'd love to make it a spirit mod, but not everyone understands or can be bothered to get spirit. So I think we should just stick with original hl. Or alternatively, the project leaders could have spirit and anyone else maps for both spirit and original hl. Most people want original hl, so I think we should use that.
I know this is breaking the rules, but since I'm not commenting on anything or giving any actual ideas:
Where the hell do we vote?
Also, I love the stuff people are adding to my idea!

Oh shut up black cat.
No it isn't. I haven't got it.
I never make backups, but I save very regularly.
Vending machs? Aw, thanks 
Perfect Dark.
No I haven't unlocked everything. Hell, no!
It's a library, like seventh said. Trust me!
I get a seven week summer holiday! BAAAAAAAAAAH!
I don't fit into any of them yet. I will soon fiit into the first, I'm unlikely to ever fit into the last 2 or the 4th. I don't have time for the 3rd. And I don't have time for the 2nd either.
I think for teaming up:
Shephard meets gordon. They team up. They meet Calhoun, Dr. R., Simmons and Walter (From BS). They form a big team. Freeman, Calhoun and Shephard do all the fighting, Dr. Rosenberg and the scientists do the techy stuff. For the plot, I think we should have Shephard escaping the osprey he was trapped in due to gman forgetting to close the portal (You never see it close!). He ends up in an FBI base where gman works and has to escape completely unarmed, without a suit or anything. That could be a stealth portion of the mod. Then, he meets freeman somehow, and they head to a base of some sort somewhere which has a load of black mesa archives. They find a survivor list. On the list, it has the locations of some survivors (Calhoun etc.). Then we have some sort of plot. I can't think of a plot, I'll leave you lot to the plot, but I hope you incorporate my idea.

Lol, library. And just as a note, we don't think you're an idiot, we just like idiots' guides 
NINTENDO LOVERS? PD LOVERS? I'M IN HEAVEN! SERIOUSLY! The greatest console is N64, but GameCube is very good as well. Goldeneye and perfect dark are the greatest games ever!
Timesplitters 2? Perfect Dark? Goldeneye? Oh wait, when did n64 come out? Oh well, if allowed, Perfect dark.
6 times a day? But I don't have time for that...6 feet tall? I'll never make that! I'm tiny! TWHL boot camp? Lol, whatever. 12 days thingy? Hmmmm....never tried. But you can't possibly survive 12 days without water can you?
Breakable doors? I don't think you can get them even with spirit! If you mean doors that work as normal but can also be broken. And I think he wanted doors with breakable glass windows.
I use podbot a lot. They are quite difficult to beat, but de_aztec is a laugh with them! Get an AK47 and you'll have great fun. By the way, can you get bots for HL MP, OpFor MP, Firearms and TFC? I really want to play them!
Shooting through walls? That sounds interesting. Reminds me of perfect dark's FarSight XR-20 railgun! I didn't know rifles shot through walls though. Try setting the walls as func_breakable, strength 0, and (although it seems strange) material type unbreakable glass. Bullets will only leave holes in that. Unfortuantely, it will look and sound a bit odd. Sparky with a glass sound. Hmmm. I don't know. Double brush walls?
I would recommend the idiot's guides. I got one for Visual basic when I used to program for that and it was great! Even came with a trial version of MS VB 6! The only downside is you can't create exes with it 
Maybe if you get a C++ idiot's guide, you may get a free compiler/trial version of MSVC++! I haven't actually had a look at idiot's guides for C++ yet. I would recommend dummy's guides as well, they are of a similar standard!

0 180 180? OK, thanks very much! I tried changing them individually without much luck. Ah, now I can create good reflective floors!
Yep, spirit. Although I tried that, and the glass didn't MoveWith the doors very well. It went flying all the way to the first room! Maybe the glass needed an origin....hmmmmmm........but yes, you have to use spirit to get the glass to break.
LOVELY! Seriously though, these facts are too much. Include them all in a single forum post. At least you put 'em in the right forum though
Interesting stuff.
Interesting stuff.
Max map patches? Max leaf faces? Those are both errors which may prevent a map from running. Try this site: Tommy14's error reference
Sorry it isn't a direct link. Fixed, by Andy
I think I typed it right, browse these forums since it has been mentioned several times. It's one of the greatest compile error sites ever, if not the greatest!

Um, what are you talking about marlborometal? Monster_scientist_upsidedown? Not in the bshift FGD! And anyway, I think it is something with the angles. I'd like upside down scripted_sequences as well though. I'll try what you said, zombieloffe.
How do I flip an entity like a scientist or gman upside down? Like they did in the Blue Shift lab? I fixed my fuzzy screen problem btw: I created a fuzzy screen sprite myself!
Ah! Slight problem.....none of the blue shift bsp files will decompile. I always get an error from it, something like Odd lump size. Anyone know why? And how I can decompile it, that would help.
Yes, I think that would be a good idea. A very good idea.
I've asked this 1st q. before but I'll ask again: How did gearbox make the camera screens fuzzy in bshift? I know it's a sprite but I can't find it anywhere in bshift/sprites. I know it's a sprite because I noclipped to see the filmed rooms close up.
Second, how did they make the scientists reflect in blue shift's intro? In the small lab on the left when you're on the tram. I know how to make furniture etc. reflect, but how do I make scientists reflect? I noclipped again and found that the reflections aren't solid. How did they do this?

Coding. Does it really matter though? I think it's better if you start with just 25, and not getting any other ammo. Make's life harder 
Trigger_auto doesn't work with 3.5 either
Me? Leader? Oooh, lovely! Now work, slaves. I think Andy would be the best leader, but I'll be happy to be a sub leader.
(Edititited) I think Kol or Seventh or even you Vassy, would be brilliant....

Baaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahaha! BRITS RULE! BAAAAAAAAAH!
Come on, we can use the existing weapons. It doesn't matter too much about realism. And as for the team idea, myself, I think it sucks, since I accidentally wrecked a team of myself and blackcat once when I was enjoying making the map myself so much I left him out! If we do have teams however, we TELL THEM WHAT TO DO! Then it won't cause problems. But I think individuals is better.
Time machine idea! About 10 missions (like ts2) would be great. And we'd have to mix and match a LOT!
Ho hum...................we need to go over the plot, not the setting. We have no plot, and we were just discussing setting. Keep to the topic!
OK, the ts2 idea is popular. YAY!
I love that time idea. I've played timesplitters 2, and it's amazing. Maybe not just 1940 though. A WW1 section would be interesting, and there's a bit where you have to go over the top and miraculously survive. And I think we should do it like ts2, where you are a different character in every level. SO there could be a WW1 section, a WW2 section (More interesting: Non-mounted automatic guns!) and other sections.
Ho hum. Sorry, but it's kinda crap actually
It was a reskinned gina, right?
I suppose it isn't that bad, but it could be a lot better.

I'm little, but not snobby overclass 
Leaks put the map on fullbright, as do no lights or texlights.
ZL is right, I can't model. I can and would love to reskin though!
Um, what was that about water? No, leaks are gaps in the level which leak into the void, or entities in the void. And don't overlap brushes ever, just have 'em touching each other.
I only decompile maps to see how various things were done!
Congratulations!
