I can run it at 800*600 are you running the new mod tool or the old one?
There is a model in the models/foliage section under catails.
Does anyone know any good sites for modelling tutorials. Iv just started with softimage mod tool and i'v tried the softimage web tutorials but really I need just a good begginers guide.
Model? Func_dust is a brush entity. Explain. Please! 
Check ALL tutorials before the forums. 
Just set the output to "break" or similar.
Are the buildings models or brushes? If there models they cant be scaled without a modeling program but some models are 1/16 versions so they fit in a skybox, if they are brushes scale down like you did with the skybox. You can really understand this if you play CS:S and you are a spectator on a map like office and you zoom out into the sky you'l see the 3d skybox and all the 1/16 models inside it.
Just my own little question: Inside the skybox there is a big dome with moving clouds on the top does HL2 support this and how can I do it?

What you mean the qlobe? Theres loads of ways to do it. To think of one of my head just stick a small nodraw brush on the globes axis and tie it to a func rotating and parent it to the globe
I not saying dont upgrade but all im saying is that I can run it fine on my hunk of junk.
PS Jahze: come on you gotta be nice to them, they have made the nice engine that can work on lower spec computers yet still look amzing and even better on more powerfull machines.

To make them hate the player just use a global.
Ok im sorry if I upset you I didnt mean to hurt your feelings 
but its true this has been answered before in many a forum.
but its true this has been answered before in many a forum.Man this is totally unessary, I mean this question has been asked (and answered) a billion times. Next time search the forums first and find as many tutorial and forum sites for HL2 and then if you dont find anything there, the you can ask it. And by the way the tutorials on this site mostly only aply to halflife 1.
I take it your running cs:s or Hl-d ?
Try changing radius of light

Or use special entity (dont know what its called) to set relationship between to npc's. Theres a tutorial at hl2world.com
Thats all a load of bullshit. (well maybe not all of it) But im running a simmilar machine to him and I can play it, its just that you dont get all the lovely jubly
DX8+ stuff. The intel extreme GFX is fine and can run games up to 64mb requirements. The only thing you should really worry about is your memory and im not sure how much your processor will afect game-play (im running a 2.6 Ghz celleron) but memmory should be upgraded to a min (in my opinion) to
about 256mb. My overall opinion is that if you upgrade your memory you should just about be able to play. But if want a descent looking Hl2 graphics that everyone is saying are amazing UPGRADE, UPGRADE!!
You by any chance running an emachine?

What have you modeled it all or something?
Yeh I eventually figured that out(for anyone whoever searches the forums): The bridge was an arch physbox so I just seperated it up glued bits together with constraints and triggered them off at the other side of the bridge which set of a few exsplosions and entity igniters so it could be a bit more dramatic.
How to I go about changing the mass? I know theres a mass scale but compared to what?

If its a courtyard dont bother with a big box surrounding your whole map but just seal of the courtyard with a sorta skybox roof if you like.
Mate to solve all your problems for hammer and cs:s find a nice site where they do tutorials for that game, Most tutorials on TWHL only work for the original halflife.
Yeh outputs look surprising hard when your a begginer but then you figure them out and there piss!
Yeh I find that its a bit craped up in one map but if you move it all to a new map it works fine. 
Well they are actually are prefabs just not in Hl1 sense just things valve has put together to us out. Leave the dude alone. Anyway back to the subject I have used one of the ballspawners and the work alright you just need to tweak it round abit
I tried this out with the set of ravenholm (gas cannister) switch that rotates. All you gotta do is place the 2 on the map the main bit as a prop_static and the other as a dynamic_overide then place a no draw func_button_rotating and parent the dynamic prop to it and do the usual button output crap.
Guys im back from the dead and I need some help. Ok I have a rope bridge and once the player crosses the bridge is triggered so that it brakes then once the bridge brakes it outputs the 2 splashes below the bridge to splash at a magnitude of 1000. The only problem is that once the splash is triggered it is only small, Iv tried higher magnitudes but they dont work any help?
I alsio had this problem but sorted using a no draw brush on all sides and bottom. Have you tried changing the actuel water texture? I had proplems with some and others that worked fine.
I have tried it and I have pretty much done it showing that any idiot can do it
( ) I really cant think what can go wrong! Make sure there arnt any obstructions blocking it cause that gave me some grief.
Good Luck man

I get this happening every time I compile:
Valve Software - vvis.exe (Nov 22 2004)

reading c:program filesvalvesteamsteamappsblackraventsourcesdksdkcontentmapstrain_1.prt
LoadPortals: couldn't read c:program filesvalvesteamsteamappsblackraventsourcesdksdkcontentmapstrain_1.prt
(The last bit being what I think to be the problem)
This happens whether I have a leak or when I dont (As far as I know)
Can anyone help me?

I'm having problems in the way that heavy items such as a container goes flying when it is touched can anyone help me with the settings for the prop_phys entitys?
I dont know if its just me being an idiot or are other people finding that some phys_props are invisable? Some of them work fine and I know that some props are there and they are there in the map when compiled there just transparent, Some just dont turn up at all. Any help?
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
Also as a reply to Anoymous if you zoom into up to the red box you can see the base frame of the model.
Iv figured this bit but its not showing up in my map only prop_dynamic and other one (not prop_phys) does any help?
The answer is on the valve collective site for me it helps if you just run Half life which refreshes the cache.
I have 256 mb memory and it runs fine its probly not the memory. I had glitches when I first installed it but it helps if you wait for steam to fully install it via the options by the sdk.
Probly not. I have set it up (to your wise advice) via the link you provided me
Any more clues to what could of happened?

Dun Know but it works now. But may I ask a question that I think there isnt an easy answer to: Why does it say the cfg is invalid and was written again? Also there is probly an answer to this but if your feeling nice: Why is my map all retro and with a bit physodelic colour that I didnt but there?
Tah.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh No I looked in those files and I couldnt find them it had placed them in the old Steam Folder for some reason or another. And Yes I have read that.
Not being lazy or anything but where the hell does it but the .bsp, .log, & .prt files for you. Im having the same problem just with halflife2 and I cant find them anywhere.
I dont know if you saw my post in the other topic, But can anyone help with loading a map into HL2 via the console? I have tried "map Test1.vmf" Test1 being the name of my map and having placed it in:
C:Program FilesValveSteamSteamAppsblackraventhalf-life 2hl2maps
Is this Correct?
C:Program FilesValveSteamSteamAppsblackraventhalf-life 2hl2maps
Is this Correct?
Is there a prefab ladder or do I need to build one?
Does anyone know how I can make or get a ladder for my map?
Yeh I was about to ask that one to thanks. (Is that same for HL2?)
So do you mean the "~" key? So in the actuel game you press it? Which Part?
Does it matter?
Does it matter?
How bout Half Life 2? Is there still a console? If there is I cant open it.
Click on the 3d Screen (to select) then view then click textured polygons o rsomething like that.
I need someone to exsplain carving to me I just get it the tutorials dont help cause their to vague
Also I have an error when compiling to HL2 It says the game data (txt.) is not located in c://programs.
Help!!
