not sure what your problem is, but theres a cmd to keep people in the server without shutting it down at a levelchange

instead of using

map <mapnamehere>

use

changelevel <mapnamehere>

i hope this helps some what =\, sry i cant help you with your REAL problem

EDIT: Nevermind, the problem has to do with max texture memory, im not use to building such large maps

For some reason after adding a few new rooms to my map, i have encountered a strange type of error, with no error message at all, or at least any that i can see, the came simply crashes right before completing its load in console, the map does have a leak, i have been lazy about fixing it because most parts of the map are still in early developement, so i am unsure if that has to do this error. Any help or insight would be appretiated.

well i found the solution for me at least, neither of the games like me using the cgGL.dll's in the base folder that came with the spirit 1.5a4 pack, but using the ones from the 1.4 pack fixed the problem for both games

i tried putting some of the other DLL's in that folder into their mentioned places, im afraid they had no effect

Thats actually where i downloaded the file in the first place, i tried reinstalling spirit 1.5a4 just to be sure, it still has the same error with the "cannot load library client.dll" im still not sure what the problem is, my half life is up to verion 1.1.1.0 so it SHOULD be working...

For my mod, it is one of my goals to try and have in game music, obviously it simply makes the game more dramatic when used correctly. The problem is for Spirit of Half Life Versions 1.4 - 1.7, (the only spirit of half life mods that have built in ambient_fmodstream) each have their own respective errors, at least for me.

Spirit 1.4 has a simple error of not being able to load the library for the client dll, even when replaced with another dll just to try and make the game work, it has a simple startup error that provides no explenation and the program just crashes.

Spirit 1.5 has weapon related errors, most likely due to the reason that the ZIP file did not give me proper weapon models, or something...

If anyone can solve one of these problems, or provide me with a regular client DLL with ambient_fmodstream or some other means of having in game mp3 music play, it would be greatly appretiated, forgive my bad spelling and grammar.

thanks

A rather awkward question to ask, however I am unable to find out where to download it after countless google searches, and if not for anyone else, I am unable to access the Spirit Of Half Life website it simply doesn't load, and I am positive it is nothing wrong on my end so blegh. Any help is appretiated greatly.

Ok, i have a map with a 3-D skybox, with the sky camera in the right place, a light enviorment and the citadel in it, in the actual map i have some fancy displacements and a few prop statics and physics, nothing too fancy yet, but im not exactly sure what this WARNING: node with unbounded volume, and even though ive read the problem, im not quite sure what it means

srry just because you dont think its that hard to make doesnt mean its not cool, gez

that used to happen to me, i forget exactly how i fixed the problem, or if it fixed itself :

the first thing i tried was switching the models, but many of the sequences didnt work well, thats why i wanted the code

what i was planning on doing was taking the CS codes for weapons and put them into HL for a mod

Does anyone know where i can find the counter strike 1 SDK? i havent been able to find one :

One thing that i would really like to have in my mod Silent Running, is water that reflects surfaces, refracts whats underwater, and have underwater fog, im not sure if the goldsource engine can even take this effects, if it can by any chance, i would like to know if anyone has an idea on how to code this sort of stuff, or if it has already been done

Ok, i know how to do quite a bit in HL coding, and i sort of know how to add a new weapon but i need a little help to make sure i do it right. What i want to do is add a second MP5 weapon to the HL code

thanks guys

Not sure if there are any tutorials out for this, but how do you make a custom console texture?

k, thanks

ok, i got a C++ program finally and i understand how to do some stuff in coding, so i edit a few things in some of the files in Goldsource DLL's, however i have no idea to compile the files to make the DLL :

well...looks like the problem somehow fixed itself

theres no leaks, no problems at all, the only problem is when i start the map with "new game" if i start the map through the console the changelevel works fine

nope, the maps are leak free and work perfectly, its only when i start the map with the "new game" button that it doest work

Well, this is kind of a confusing problem for me, i have these 2 maps that have worked perfectly, the only problem is the level change. When i start the maps using the Console commands the level change works fine. But for some reason when i click "new game" and go to the level change, in the second map i turn up dead and outside the level :

K, well heres one of my old slideshows, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yszuWe2ykq0 it doesnt show all the gameplay updates in this slideshow so i will be making another one in a bit but not yet, and the levels, so far there is 8, and i have been working on this game for almost a year.

Well, lately i have been making many changes to silent running, improving gameplay and enlarging levels, but just recently i decided to change the Silent Running code, so now silent running is capable of using opposing force monsters, and entities. I did this so that i would be able to make the silent running story more long and have a wider range of enemies. There is one thing that i need though, a good modeler, im not very good at modeling, and what i need someone who is willing to do is take weapon models that are only in opposing force and modify them so that there will be Barney hands on the weapons, if that is even possible :

I ususally try to make a pre-disaster area in most of my mods before the fighting starts, but i dont think i know of any mods that are completly pre disaster, and theyre pretty hard to make because i find that they lack alot of modivation for the maker :

If you notice, in HL2 The Lost coast, the sun will fade in and out sometimes due to clouds passing within its path, does anyone know how to make this effect? ive looked for tutorials and i havent been able to find any. :

Im not sure if there is a tutorial or not on this site for doing that, so just to make sure, i uploaded an example map just for this http://www.twhl.co.za/mapvault_map.php?id=4687

Does anyone know exactly how to make an NPC_helicopter drop bombs like this?

i think i know what hes talking about, short surfaces

there actually is a way to give the player nightvision, but you have to change the dll's in the mod file

hammer 3.5 is way better, the main reason is you get to see the npc's that you are putting in your map, so you can see exactly the way that the npc's will look when you play the map

I think thats happened to me before too, and if i do know what your talking about; try turning this button on or off and see if it helps

here, try this example map http://www.twhl.co.za/mapvault_map.php?id=1344

oh u want the doors to open and close but only once? cause if thats what u want to do try making the trigger a "trigger_once

boYA!

try going to the flag tab in the object properties for the doors and activate the flag labled "toggle" this way the doors will only open and close when triggered, or you can go to the property in the class info tab labled "delay before close" and set that property to -1

you can rotate cars sometimes, but the result is often that, its just how you rotate the cars, but like srry said its better to keep stuff on grid

thx

All i need to know right now is how to make monsters do stuff in HL2, because the scripted sequences dont work like HL1, help plz

No, srry i dont think ive seen something like that, but i do remember a website from a while ago that had a ton of already different font type HUD sprites, ill see if i can look for either

http://www.sergem.net/fontedit/index.html

Alright, first in this movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQCV_tHrc_M there is a part right at the begining where there is some good looking water, now my question is how to make it look that good.

Just one question; how do i change the console for a mod?

where is this going?

2 things i have been very curious about how to do: how to make a continous water into the distance for a neverending ocean effect. And how in half life 2 a lying down to standing up position.

ho ho ho
