in Curved Tunnels Post #127214
it's more effective to use vertex tool to make it
even if you used the arch tool before it's a good idea
to put the points back on the grid that way you can link
things more efficent(look at the curves all done with VM)

in Counting units? Post #127068
counting with eyes is the ONLY way to make things look good
if you use the units all the time you end up with a very lame
map evey time, use you a barny as your guide and make things
look good in relation to the barney!!

ok i know that you mean, use spirit and add a light fog that would start
about 400 blocks form the player. and tune cut off so it looks like it's fading away. if worked great for me!!

p.s. env_sky is for 3d skyboxes and the lighting for it is buggy.

in onrail, the train really does go between maps becasue you can leave
it runing and it will return in time. and if you go betewwn maps during that time it's position is coreect every time!

i have a functrain that i want to go from one map to the other(tunnel)
i tried making a new func train in the new map but the position of it
changes(after going through once next time you appear not in a train or stuck in it.

#9. Re: Lighting in env_sky?
Okay, I will better explain: ( I made some changes since my last post )

You want to build a map, with an env_sky.
First, you create the map with a skybox.
Then, you create the skyroom with the env_sky inside.

Before if you wanted to draw the skyroom around the map you had to paint your skybrushes with the null texture ( that dont emit any light_env ).

Now, you have just to paint these brushes with a simple texture whose name begin with "sky" ( eg "skysomething" ) because the zhlt tools make the environment lighting and the hl engine draw the env cubemap, from these textures.

After that, to prevent the engine that you dont want that it draws the env cubemap ( that hide the skyroom ) from this texture , you have to put in a shader file a shader as this one:

{ "skysomething"
invisiblesky
}
where "skysomething" is the name of your "null-texture-that-draw-the-sky-room".
The flag "Invisiblesky" to indicate that is a invisible sky ( but that draw the light env anyway ).

The shader system ( like quake3 shaders, not hl? ) is a tool that alow you to apply or change several texture on one.
For example, this shader:

{ "maxwalltile_l"
texture blank
{
	map "gfx/maps/texbackl.tga"
	blend GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
}
{
	map "gfx/effects/ref_metal_blur01.tga"
	flag "reflection"
	//scroll 5 5
	blend GL_ONE_MINUS_DST_ALPHA GL_DST_ALPHA
	color 255 0 0 255
	scale 4
}
}

this is what the spirit forum told to do, i don't get it i made the skyenv texture but that didn't work and shaders??

i'll try the that WCD

in making null project light(like sky) Post #108642
ok i'm currently trying to get the 3d skybox working in spirit
so the problem is that when you put the sky box in
the light(light env) and fog only work inside the skybox and don't
effect the level,

i'm looking for a way to make null texture project light like the sky texture, i tryed making invisible func walls with texture light on them
but that doesn't give direction to the light, i also tryed putting sky on invisible func wall, but you can't have sky on func wall(for some reason)
i anyone got this effect to work i need to know how

P.S. there is a "tutorial" on the spirit forum but i can't understand it
they are using some kind of shader system to fix the problem

SO if any one know how to get the null to act as sky of how to use shader i would really like a vey detailed explanation.

any way if some modeler wants to model pedestiran for me please do
i was thinig of stealing them out of HL2 but didn't want to waste the space and time insatlling HL2 again........(that's right) so if a modeler can make me pedestiran that look kinda like in hl2 ex: kinda grey cloths
they are all wearing, the mod is taking place in a communistish era.

I NEED MODELS FOR PEOPLE, if you can base them of scientist's sceleton so i can script for them like scientists that would rock cuz that's what i'm doing, some kinda police man would be good too for barney!! PLEASE HELP mapping is gonna take a while for this!!

in my spirit 1.4 questions Post #107045
ok i haven't been here in a while, i'm working on my mod so i have some questions.
1: i have a train(func train) and i want it to have a driver and passengers, so i use move with to the driver but i also want to script some passengers getting off the train so i can't use move with on them how an i mae it so when the train comes they can get off of it??

2: can i turn off the HEV(strip the player of the hev) in the same level the HEV was gotten, but started without the HEV?? i know i can start a differen level without the HEV but i need the player to lose it in mid-level

p.s: i want to post some pic what the best place to host??

in funcwall and splitting Post #95417
ok i was wondering:
when i make a func wall, it doesn't split world brush but does it split another func wall?? or does it split the brushes that are in the same func wall????????

the reason i ask is that i made alot of detail in a place and really want to cut on the splitting.. so i looked around with gl wireframe and saw that my func wall was carving it self.. what's up?? and i have also seen my other func wall not carving??
