lol yeah, unfortunatly i need to play with 3 other people and controllers. Just not as conveniant. But i do have some of the Gameboy and snes emulators. FF tactics for gameboy rocks
yeah, which is what, 5 bucks?
nothing on ebay has closed for under 30 (with shipping). Thanks though
yeah. thing is i dont have much money, and have some extra games some people might want. Idk, worth a try i figured.
lol, random, yes, i know. Im looking for mario party 3 for 64. Ill Trade a different 64 game or two, or possibly a PC game (Morrowing with both explansions or something). BUt it you have it and dont play uit anymore, just lemme know and we can figure somehting out.
why not just do a func_train, With an explosion being triggered on the last (second) path?
anyone...? anyone...? Beuler..? Beuler...?
Say i have a cube in the middle of my map. I angle my environment light say to -55, the 2 walls the light hits are fine, but the 2 opposite sides are pitch plack. How would i make it so its not all, black, and still has some light to it (assume this is a very big cube 
) without using other light entitys to shine on it. Relatingly, how do i make it so the shadows cast are less drastic
) without using other light entitys to shine on it. Relatingly, how do i make it so the shadows cast are less drastici cant get my trigger hurts to move with the parent train... or even hurt at all. set it all up and what not, but not noticing anything. pretty straight forward entity too.
also, if i wanted something being pulled behind it (a bar structure), i wiould us lenght contraint right? already got the rop on there.

ah thanks for the info cap, How would i teleport objects? that way i could just drop it, then have it tele back up in a few seconds
the only way i know how to create hills and uneven earth is the way stated in the hl1 tut. Is there an easier way? i need a pretty decent sized hill.
Heres my ideas: Get a crane, have it drop its magnet wherever, the bar thing, misc. explosives, and an odd idea, dunno if it would work: You know those gumball bachines that when you guy it it goes through the sequence of rods having it run all of the place...? id like to have a button activate a barrel being deployed on a track that rolls it to key spots. sure, people would just shoot it, but i think itd be neat.
k, i have some sniping spots for dm that are kind of high, and id like to have traps around it for people to shoot to kill the sniper. I like the type like in Hl2 where you shoot the platform and the bar has cables on each end and it swings down and htis everyone. BUt, for DM, i need it to be resetable? any ideas? doesnt need to be this exact type (explosive barrels that drop, etc). also, how do i make the explosive barrels respawn?
"Camera's show players in DM "
Im running Dm...?
Im running Dm...?
yeah i am going to angle it, but straight down for now, but still want the otehr walls to show light (my map is bordered in with walls)
thanks for the help
thanks for the help
I have my light_environment straight down, and i want the vertical walls to be light as well, whats the best ways of doing this? i dont want to do the "Min light" or whatever for every brush. Can i do a couple of those lights at -89 degrees?
Anyone have an example map for a train (using the prefab trains they use in the single player). Just need it basic- in and out of level (for DM)
My Camera isnt showing me, but everything else is working fine, just not players.
Help is appreciated thanks

project kind of on hold until i can get this fixedwouldnt hurt.. just basically, when would you want to use it and what does it do besides make things look "shiny"

"calculate environmental maps on specular surfaces." can you explain this? examples of where its used?
I only map with HLDM, the danza icon was in lockdown, which is just HL:s, so that'd makew sense

What are Cubemap entities about and the otehr things.. i cant igure it out lol. Also the one whose image is the fonze. I look at lockdown to get some ideas on how to do stuff and whatnot and see them everywhere... cant figure it out
uploaded the map into the same zip file as the Images, new link for download: http://www.twhl.co.za/mapvault_map.php?id=3692&dl=1
Any help is appreciated!

If those dont help i can provide the map files as well. It is coming out of the Sky section (normally was a flat cliff wall, but was dinkin around seeing if anything would work).

workgin with my map, i tested a few things, didnt like them, and deleted them, back to how it was. compiled and tested, but now there is a large rectangle "shadow" that goes over t he ground and a building, i can see through the building where this shadow falls and i kind of go in/through the ground that the shadow hits. I tested removing things and it is becuase i have a large wall on the side of the map it is coming from (the barrier of the map). also when this happens many of my prop_statics dont work either. the "shadow" doesnt fit the walls shape or anything, and the environmental lighting is going straight down.... i tryed changing the texture of the side wall to sky, and vice versa, nothing helps... any ideas?
if you make one and shift+drag each it should all break seperate. i take it you madea bunch and highlighted them all and went to breakable? =D that will make them act as one no matter what. shift drag or individually (90% sure)
(sorry for doublepost)

thankshm, working now on all my other test maps, just not that one. oh well will leave it be. Found how to do the apc also.
How do you make the hinges work? found the entity but no go =(

found i had a ragdoll something or another entity which made the map not run, BUT it compiled and nothing found it wrong, which is why for some reson it made everything go haywire
wont show sky in game either, that is, off of run map. any different when totally loading a map vs the run map?
also, how can i get an apc, the tank thingy, to be activated and follow the pathcorners?

can someone please explain these entities for me?
detail vs wall
lookdoor
walltoggle
cubemap
then some other questions-
Made a wall with textire skybox (like you did in hl1 for skys [i think] )
and it shows "skybox" =D
what entity acts as a hinge? as in freeswaying doors and whatnot. in my testing map i just made some =D
How come with my spotlight if a door gets in the way it doesnt effect it?
How come myphysbox or whatever wont change lighting?
more to come =D

"superfluous" you say? gonna have to whip out the dictionary =P alrighty thanks
im guessing the otehr parts of the map besides the bsp, so where does the vmx and lin and stuff go?
but still, poorly made maps can still be fun- take iceworld, falling, box thing or whatever. fun to play, but "beutiful" would be a stretch for any of them
lol. im having trouble just getting mine running. could map basic maps for hl1/c, but for some reson i cant get it to go, no leaks or anything (under me thread). But i mean if hes a new mapper just completing a decent sized map is an accomplishment. And something like that could take literally 3-4 times longer for a newer mapper than a veterine
remind me to never post any of my maps! 
sorry for repost but- is there a way the map could show up on the map list but still not have all components or be in correct place?
tryed everything =/ still no go
reinstalled and all is good... i think
When just using steam-
Fatal error- Mountfilesystem (206). Mountfilesystem(numbers.....) failed with error 15: cache read failure. errno 16 "permission Denied"

so basicly hope it works next time?
First map for hl2 (just testing it)
Tryed setting hammer for hl2 and dm, and when i go to run map it compiles ok and starts the game up, but just says "loading" in corner forever
When i go into dm and go to create server and select the map. halfway through it crashes and says something with lik 0X485674 and 0x84563 cannot be read or found or soemthing like that
If i start a server with a different map and change to it it does the same thing. help!

oh. "get it form steam" as in the program not the website. thanks =D. is it easier to setup than hammer used to be?
i mapped for hl1, and wanna try hl2. i heard get tools from steam, but i can not find where. If someone could explain or gimme a link that would be great =D
could i use the hl wad for a cs map? or would some people not have it? or is it a universal wad?

anotherreson why i hate stezmso if i reinstalled 1.5 and got it all spic and span and compiled, i wouldnt have to do anything to it at all for 1.6?
( i just textured it quickly to see if it would work)
