Really all you need to do is trigger the light twice every time the gun fires. This can be done with the multimanager that you're already using. Just add another keyvalue to the multimanager representing the name of the light entity and the delay in milliseconds which represents the amount of 'on' time of the light, which should be a really short delay like half a second or less.
The first three Xen maps can now be played in a beta release: Xen Technical Beta
You mighty be able to do just that using the cached.wad and gfx.wad SDK, available here.
I have never used it myself and it may not even work at all.

Unless he actually meant a targeting laser that's always visible, which, to my (very limited knowledge of the HL SDK) isn't possible without modifying the gamecode, like you said.

Graphics options are very extensive and you may need to spend some time configuring your preferred settings and whatnot.
Seems this is texture lighting, I guess it's done the way The Mad Carrot suggested?Certainly looks like it.
I think the tutorial Jessie posted is the old way of doing switchable texture lights. Nowadays, with Vluzacn's Half-Life Tools, you can get a better result when you use the light_surface entity.
Quote from VHLT version 23:
Provide a convenient way of creating texture lights.
Usage: Place a light_surface entity near the face which you want to emit light.
'Texture name' shall be the name of texture of the face.
'Filter max distance' can exclude faces whose centers are far from this light_surface.
'Texture brightness' is the brightness value that the face obtains. 80 is enough to ensure brightness of the texture itself.
'Inner angle' and 'Outer angle' are 90 and 'Adjust emit scale' is 1.0 for normal texture lights by default. Smaller angle and larget scale can be used to simulate spotlight.
'Fast' is useful when the face is large and brightness is low. The result of fast lighting is very similar to bounce lighting.
The light_surface can be triggered and have appearance like other light entities. Actually its classname will be changed to 'light' or 'light_spot' according to your choice.
Note: If you want to set any of these value to 0, fill in 0.0 instead. Otherwise Hammer will ignore the keyvalue.

Sounds like a problem with your map, check your compile log for error messages and report any here so we can help you further.

I just found out about a mod called LittleTiles. Holy balls, this is insane. In my eyes, this is a Chisel & Bits killer, although it is said that both mods can live next to each other.

I'm having some problems with an unknown large number of skeletons having spawned in my basement for some inexplicable reason. I can't kill them. They don't do anything. But they make the game lag whenever I look in their direction (even when I can't see them). They are very near where I used to have a spider Powered Spawner, which may or may not be related (I moved it and turned it off for now). If anyone has any ideas of how to get rid of them, please let me know.I have no clue what is causing that, I'd say the powered spawner might have something to do with it. Keep it offline to see if those skellingtons still show up.
How come I haven't seen you in the game, by the way?I'm currently playing on a vanilla server. I'll pop in at some point though.

This is the json data I put into 01_thermalfoundation_ores.json:
Nope, no mention of any retrogenning. I did say something about metadata being ignored and will be replaced by the 'properties' field. None of the other ores in that file use metadata so I replaced it, the file looks like this now:

"distribution": "uniform",
"generator": {
"block": {

Closing this old thread now, new thread here.
Ah nice, thanks, that should come in handy even for me.
Right. So how do you save the tga file with the correct origin in Photoshop? Don't tell me I have to get Gimp just for this purpose?
They probably get their icons from the executable files as icons can be embedded in those.
That error has nothing to do with scripted_sequences or any point entity for that matter.
Vluzacn says this about the error:
This is actually the warning that is called "mixed face contents" in previous versions.
It is often caused by two planes or two vertexes that almost coincode with each other but leave small gaps (less than 0.1 unit). Open the .map file, not the .rmf file, then go to that coordinates, zoom in and see if there are tiny gaps between lines, like in the picture. If there are, remake the brushes in your .rmf file.
If you still can't fix it, try to convert the brushes to func_details, which will eliminate the "ambiguous leafnode content" warning and minimize its consequence (but it won't fix the gap). If what has the "Ambiguous leafnode content" problem is an entity (such as a func_wall), you can also manually add keyvalue "zhlt_detaillevel" "1" and "zhlt_clipnodedetaillevel" "1" to the entity, so that it takes the advantage of detail brushes.

Make sure that when you work with brushes, you have snap-to-grid enabled.

So I did some experimenting with your icon, but whatever I do, the icon is always rotated 180 degrees in the taskbar and I can't figure out why. Maybe it is a Windows or Steam issue.
Also I think having an actual ico file in your mod folder is unnecessary, unless you want a desktop shortcut of your mod. Otherwise a single tga file is all you need.
I did however figure out that if you create two tga versions of your mod icon, one 16x16 file named 'game' and one 32x32 file named 'game_big', or any name for that matter as long as it has the '_big' suffix added to it's filename, Steam will use the 16x16 icon in the library list and the 32x32 file on the game page (when selected).
I'm out of ideas for now, maybe any one else has a solution?
Dang Focalpoint and your oversized icon.

Just out of curiosity, could you send me your tga file so I can see if that rotation happens on my end as well?
The Valve Dev Wiki says your icon must be an uncompressed 24-bit TGA file, 16x16 pixels in size and you must not include the .tga file extention in your liblist.gam file.
What's weird though, the singleplayer mod Half-Life Echoes uses a 32-bit icon file. It also has the same icon but as an actual icon (.ico file) file.
Focal Point has .ico and tga icon files, both are 32x32 pixels and are 32-bit. What.
So it's a little bit unclear what the rules for mod icons are. I've never had my mod icons rotated 180 degrees though. Maybe Paint.net is saving your tga's in a different tga format that Half-Life/Steam can't read correctly. Other than that, I have no clue.

If you like designing houses, you'll love the Chisels & Bits mod and the ArchitectureCraft mod.

Actually, I'm not including EnderZoo but will include Mekanism Generators.
Well, I thought any required dependencies were obvious, what i meant was, for EnderIO there's an addon called EnderZoo and for Mekanism there's Mekanism Generators. Do you think there's any room left for these?
Rim, you're saying EnderIO stuff and Mekanism stuff. What stuff? Do you mean addons?
We got Archie in da house!
You're welcome to join in and try some modded Minecraft, it's a whole new experience, I tell you.

I think I'll go for AE2 with Extra Cells 2 addon.
I've used ArchitectureCraft before on 1.7.10, looks like there's a 1.12.2 port available, might be interesting to have as well for those that like building.
What about Extra Utilities 2, OpenBlocks, DarkUtilities, RandomThings?

Does RS offer higher tier storage components above 64k?
With the addon mod Extra Cells 2 for AE2 you get even bigger storage components as well as storage cells for liquids en gas. Does RS have fluid and gas storage cells? If not, then I'd still go for AE2 with Extra Cells 2.
Also definitely want to have SolarFlux, that is some cool stuff. Also Flux Networks for wireless power transfer is very handy to have.
See, already I cannot contain myself.

What about a mass storage system with autocrafting like Applied Energistics 2 or Refined Storage (both are the same, but RS doesn't use the whole channels thing. Solokiller, confirm?)
There are some more, but I'm not sure if I'm exceeding the amount of mods we have.

It's yay time.
Rimrook is right, mods can make the game interesting again. It is true that most mods have a bit of a learning curve which might scare you, However, there are tons of wiki's out there where you can look up information. I'm also very well experienced with most (but definitely not all) mods, so you can always ask me if you get stuck. I think this is half the fun, exploring and experimenting with the new gameplay features that these mods provide.
I don't know about Factorio, but I've seen screenshots of that game and I'm sure MC mods don't get that complicated.
The goal here is to put together a reasonable small/medium sized modpack that shouldn't take to much system resources.
And for fricks sake, remove your santa hat, Rim, geezz.

Actually... and don't hate me for it, but I'm having second thoughts. There's barely any interest in this server and I feel like pulling the plug. Not sure what to do. I do want to give this another shot and I would like to give you a fair chance to put together something fun to play but when there are close to zero players active, I feel like I'm wasting money.
Hey, if you're really not feeling up to it, let me put it together, it's no problem. It's just that I have two other servers that I need to maintain.
Sounds good. Not seeing any tech mods in your pack, so you may want to add some (Thermal Suite, EnderIO, Mekanism are pretty much common).
250!? Yeah, that's a no go. As much as I would like to try it, this pack most likely won't run at all on other people's computers.
I actually heard of SevTech and I have some interest in that. How many mods does that consist of?
Having trouble picking mods?
Is there a pack that already exists like what you want, like tekkit or FTB or something?There probably is, but there are so many packs available, I don't even bother looking for one. If you find one that suitable, let me know. Otherwise we continue putting together our own little pack. Keep in mind to keep it reasonably small so more people can try it out without having their computers melt.
