I don't see why you can't do that, if your making sure to vertex manip. correctly...
The best solution I see it a cylinder on top of another. Rotate by 12.5 degrees, then go to each vertex and snap them to the nearest grid. After making sure that they line up, should be no problem to then move the very bottom verticies by the same amount outwards. Consistance is key.
Also, I hate the spike tool, always gets nasty to do much else than use it the way it is.
If I have the time, I'll make an example map to show you exactly what I mean.

There is something called a bumpmap (or normal map) that allows a texture to fake 3d. This means you no longer need to do all that work to give the illusion of depth. I suggest looking up some tutorials on making materials. You are bound to find one covering normal maps or bump maps.
Indeed. Cubemaps have an influence on lighting. Perhapes the lighting went up in your map because your card was finally able to draw reflective surfaces correctly. Buildcubemaps will fix that issue.
I'm smelling mucus and sweat...
I have a cold, must I go into more detail?

Time for me to roll out a couple I've just made:
The dazed smiley, because how else will you tell people that you just got hit on the head by a large rock?
And the all important asleep smiley, I was surprised TWHL didn't already have one of these.
NPC's do not work under HL2MP. The only npc's that do work are the birds, the rest of them will not.
Always sad to see a mod die. Good luck on any future projects.
Yeah...
So hard to map something good these days, you need to be able to do almost all the positions in a regular mod.
It's very good to know how to:
Create textures
Make sounds/music
Model
And sometimes, code.
Old mappers that just deal with the map editor are quickly becomming antiques at this point, IMO.

Are you making sure the areaportal seals off an entire area. That there is no other way you can get to the sealed off area besides through the portal.
otherwise, just send it to me and I can take a quick look.

Do I have many theories?
Yes.

It's not really on E3, we are calling it the E3 media update because it happens at the same time as E3.
As for the thread problem, the company that makes phpfusion, the thing our site is based on, is making an update to hopefully fix it.
The trailer was supposed to be a surprise on the last day, but someone let the beans out before hand
Sorry about that.
Sometime today we should have our maps up. Thanks for staying tuned
[EDIT] Day 3's content is now up, go check it out!

Day 2, go check out the new content. Maybe I'll get a thread going in our forums so you can discuss it.
Today is day 1 of our 4 day media release, go check it out. 
The hammer has a max viewable distance in the 3d view. This means that anything so many units away is clipped and covered with black. You can change how far away this happens in the options.
I learned a long time ago. Never click on any link on TWHL that leads to google, or a site you question is legitiment.
I've seen the trees called evergreen_sheet or things like that is HL2. Maybe they are named similar?
This is pretty bad. I rufuse to read the whole thing, one paragraph was more than enough.
I remmebre you saying what it was in a post long ago but I can't remember. If that's WoW I'll gut you.Nope, I wouldn't be caught dead playing WoW.
Also, furry culture is... scary. Please try to stay with the human race please.
However, I don't see a problem with PvP in Guild Wars. Heck, it's kinda like a sport, without physical activity.
One word, so much meaning.
Nope Xyos212, you are incorrect
I guess I'll give you a hint, it's a statue in a popular game right now.

check that you have no leaks. This sounds like a leak problem.
No, release them one by one please
agreed @ Ant. My favorite was the mass driver. Let's all slowly take teh earth apart piece by piece, for the hell of it!
Woo...
Worthless spam.

Go have fun, and make sure to patent it!
Don't bother with the movies. They all suck.

Noob speak?
Did you just use Noob speak? Get a grip, Ant kindly told you what to do, now go do it and grow up a bit, k?

Yeah, that was due to an invailad brush btw. The compiler extended it.
Instead of one religion thread, we seem to have struck an epidemic
I agree with you satchmo, religion is never going to work as it is. That however, is why a personal relationship is important (at least to me).
Christians are people too ya know Everyone feels the pain of not being with a loved one. I have a grandpa that died a couple years back. Sure it is hard sometimes, but I know I'll meet him again. I just miss him in the meantime.
With galileo, that was definity a perfersion of christianity. I firmly believe the bible says nothing about the earth being flat. I think it comes down to pride, the people of that time wanted to be the most important, that meant being in the center.

Then can someone explain to me why dying early is a bad thing for Christians?One of the first things that happens to a person when they become a christian, is they want to tell everyone about it. It's a natural thing, but with chirstians, it becomes more. God wants us to spread the word, and let everyone we can know of his existance, through our actions and words. Dying early is the loss of the chance to tell one more person, in the hope he/she may come to a relationship with god.
I don't understand why you hate religion so much Seventh. It guides people, and makes a lot of persons decent creatures. Granted, some religions tell people to make war, and people do make mistakes, but I believe, especially in the case of christians, are very decent, and have rules that they apply to there life to help them serve and be kind to others.
And holding back society? You do relize that many great inventors and minds were christian right? Albert Einstein, thomas edison... Some of the same people that questioned the world and everything around them.
Do you relize that Darwin was also a christian? Yet he went against the church. I don't know his state with God, but religion did help him to question the popular beliefs of the day.
And you will not see me telling you to be a christian, nor will I force any beliefs on you
That only leads to defenciveness and misunderstanding. However, please do try to treat chirstianity with the same respect that hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and other religions deserve. It's fine that you don't agree with them, but is there a need to be making cruel jokes?

Narrow minded eh?
I think you guys are miss intreperting what it is to be a christian. It is simply a personal relationship with God. That's it. You don't have to be nice, don't have to go to church, don't have to pay anyone money...
Unfortunatly, there have been many that have capitialized on chistianity. For example, the middle ages, with the catholic church. What was done there was wrong. I think we can all agree on that.
Also, I don't believe God in a giant creature in the sky. In fact, I can't imagine him a creature at all. He's beyond normal space-time, and that gives him both mighty power, and responsibility.
Which is why Jesus came, to give man a second chance, a way around God's law. The punishment of sin is death. Death being defined as seperation from God. The only way that God cound give man a second chance, was by switching our death, with another's. Jesus chose to die on that cross as an exchange. His life, for ours.
You may choose to believe or not too. But at least be thankful you have a choice in the matter. I personally would like to see many of you in heaven someday.
I will not however, give a speech on hell, I know most of you don't care, and that's all you've probably heard on the subject of God. I'll just leave you with this, it's not a Do this or rot forever, it's instead an offer for another chance.

I think it's your avitar nickleplate
So...
the point of this thread is to laugh at chirstians? Or is this really just random crap comming from everyone?
I'm thinking just crap...

Check your power supply, is it giving enough power?
Um....
I will judge the winner when i get back, and that would be in about a week!One day later, you announce yourself as a winner. wtf?
ZL, everytime I look at that movie, FF crashes. You are trying to infect me with a virus are you
Managed to see it with VLC, funny stuff.

first, I suggest running vis. Light needs vis in order to work right.
I found degenerate triangles to do strange things in any of the maps I've created. Of course, this was for a non-source engine, but the basic principal applies. If it's with displacements it might be ok, but degenerate triangles or faces on world geometry is really bad. I'd still fix it, cuz either way, your wasting polys
Dude, your map has HUGE problems. This is usually caused by tiny micro brushes (less than 1 unit big). Only way to get rid of them is to find them and delete them. I sorry to say, you may have to delete everything to get them all. QuArK has a built in micro brush finder. Hammer might be able to find them with check for problems (ALT-P).
Do not use carve for anything but square brushes, that's a major cause for this. If you don't get them all, things are going to work odd. Brushes may be black, some brushes may go on forever in a certain direction ect.
If you post this map in the problem maps area, I'd be glad to run it through a micro brush finder.

You sure that a special adapter didn't come with the card?
My Geforce has a 9 pin connecter designed for it's custom adapter, which splits into s-video, composite, and component.
