I do the same way as Urby, but I disble the "Filter Textures" option on "3D views" tab, It messes up with the textures but I get a nice framerate.
Edit: Also I want to kill the one who dropped OpenGL on ATI drivers.

in My Mod Pulse: Beta 1 Release Post #271064
I think it has something to do with the game carrying too much data from the previous levels
Exactly, I'm sure that is the problem, my sugestion is to name the npc's entities and kill them when you're about to changelevel, or use fade corpse too.

in My Mod Pulse: Beta 1 Release Post #271035
Downloaded and stopped playing it when the game crashed searching for "custom.wad" on the map pls11.bsp, from what I played, I can say is that your mod needs serious work, I was going fine until the female assassin's ambush on the container area, with those gasworks-like towers, I had to cheat that part and a lot of some other parts of the mod, also, I was playing on Easy. Judging for the screenshots that you put on Moddb, the Mod looks awesome, that's why I downloaded it, but playing it, it's like playing another mod, A very, very blocky mod with tons of enemy npc's waiting for you at every corner of the maps, it got so boring that I stopped playing after the crash. As for your mapping skills, the part I played is very bad, the maps are very blocky, so much blocky, the only nice part I can spot for now is that HL-Uplink-Like rocky hallways, which still too narrow and very dificult to navigate trough. The boring feel was lost on the Road Trip chapter, It was nice to drive a func_train car, even if you can't control the car, the gameplay changed from the same '(A)Kill-a-couple-of-monsters-in-the-next-corner, (B)Recharge-your-health-and-suit, (C)Back to (A)', but again, I think the whole US Army was in that map.
Also another thing, your mod archive have a LOT of unecessary files, you copied TWO times the whole HL sound files, one time in your Pulse folder, another time in the pak file, you should get rid of that stuff, your mod will go like from 150 mb to 30, 20 mb, making much more easier to download it, especially on Moddb's slow mirror.
Ok, I managed to play the rest of the maps on the Mod while I was posting this, after faking many not included .wad files, I saw that you improved a lot your mapping after pls11, the maps are now less blocky, altough still full of npc's every corner, its a improvement, now that you're mapping better, you should improve your entity setup and gameplay of the maps, also, another thing I forgot to mention, I didn't saw the r_speeds counting on your maps, but most of them was like 30, 20 fps on my computer, and it's not a crappy computer (c2 duo with Hd 4850), I nocliped and saw what I expecting, the no-use of the Null texture, and the indoor maps doesn't need so much the null texture, but still lagging, so I assume you didn't compiled your maps with full vis or even normal vis, you should do that on the final version.

Well, It's clearly a beta or alpha, it's a very unfinished work, needs serious work before releasing the final, but for being a one-man mod, I respect your work and I know that you worked hard on this one, don't feel sad because of some bugs and issues, remember, these are just critcism that you can use freely to improve much more your mod and making a masterpiece, keep working hard on it and good luck!.

Edit: The website is f***ing nice, very professional, I can't say a thing about it, also your plot is epic.

Hi guys, I'm newbie working on the Source engine, I'm working on a map where the buildings need to look destroyed and I'm using Day of Defeat: Source way to make the walls broken, using displacements on the brushs, but some brushs have lighting issues like this one:

I just want some gun tracers on the background of my map, I've tried env_beams and conveyors but it looks ugly, then I had the idea of a func_tank shooting on some moving target so I can have the gun tracers, but I dunno how, I've tried func_guntarget but the tank don't shoot it, anyone have ideas how I can do it?.

Do you have Vista or ATI Radeon video card?. If you have Vista, unistall it and get XP, if you have ATI Radeon card uninstall your drives and use a older Catalyst version.

in hl2 in hl1 mod Post #251435
It doesn't look good, even in OpenGL, sorry, but you need to improve much more on your mapping skills before you want to make a mod with such purpose, even if its pointless, try doing a simple mappack without any whores, you'll get a much better reception here, bye.

Use OpenGL rendering, if you can't, buy a new video card before making HL2 brushwork on HL1, because it'll lag, also the map doesn't look good and the mod is pointless.

in What is Nihilanth? Post #250387
Goldsrc still quicking ass in visual yes, its a old engine but can be pushed in many forms, for example, I did a map where I could get the same graphics as source, almost the same, look this screenshot:
User posted image
In this scenes I ported a lot of Half-Life 2 stuff, like models textures and so, you can look at walls, the textures looks much more higher resolution than the standard HL ones, I've used the detail textures feature, converted the original texture from the Source gcf's and put it on the _detail.txt file, I'm using glow and blur too, also models have shadows, this is a mod from Sysop, he added many effects and so...
Altough, this scene takes my FPS to something like 30 ~ 40, my processor is Core 2 Duo rendering with a Radeon X1550 and 2 gb of Ram, my old pc render this scene with 20 fps, its Pentiun 4 2.0 with Radeon 9200 and 512 mb of Ram, I get better FPS on HL2, anyways, Paranoia is an example of what Goldsrc can still render, this mod looks like Doom 3 sometimes...

I downloaded and ran arround the maps, I said holy fucking shit to the water effects. Well, I can't say many things, This doesn't look like HL1 engine in anyways, its something between Source and GoldSource, its like you're testing the first alpha stages of Source engine, man, this is incredible, can't wait to play your Mod, I hope it is single player.

Good Luck man, I really hope you continue with this, I love the feeling of that outskirts map and the sewers, very apocalyptic!.

Edit: If you add those Bumpmap effects from Paranoia, it will definately not look like GoldSrc. :)

Second option. They still there, just the model disappears.
Edit:
I've mapped the whole map brushwork and so, then I started to put entities, on the start, when I had just a couple of few entities, the monsters wasn't disappearing, I dunno what I did wrong for they start to not be rendered, I'm not using any big sprite or anything.
Here's an screenie of the whole thing on 3d Hammer Camera, if you find it usefull.

Hm. But what speed I should set to the trigger_push for the sprite don't fall on the ground or don't get a very fast velocity?.

This is how it looks when gravity is set to -5 something.
User posted image
Looks so fine, I'm not up to take rid of it. :\

Edit: I've set the trigger_push speed to a value higher than the default 800 gravity, then the sprites/gibs go up, but they never die, needs something to make them fade away or something. Ideas?.

Hi, I'm on the making of a SvenCoop map, unfortunately it don't have the nice Spirit's env_particle, I'm trying to make a fake particle system using env_shooters to make a constantly black smoke popping system, So far I've got success only when I use sv_gravity 0 or -(number) then the smoke sprites goes up, I'm wondering if there's a way to take out the gravity from the gibs of the env_shooter or make an specific area with its own gravity.
Is that possible?.

Thanks.

Just place trigger_cameras where you want and put a target for they keep looking.
Also they don't show spawn points. It keep changing the camera after few seconds even if you selected terrorist or ct and vice versa.
