That's terrible, Dimbark. You can do better than that.
Archie's design looks slick though, well done.
But I think I'll come up with something of my own if you don't mind. :)

Thanks, will give adding Source support another go.

Could you also help with adding in-app compiling? You know, not having an external console window, instead all the compiling stuff happens inside the application in a RichTextBox?

1 main space station in the middle made up of custom modules,

tons of custom space ships out in the depths of space (within Hammer's constraints)!
So the station must fit inside the 2048³ space but any space ships out there can exist outside that area?
I don't think I have time to build tons of space ships, but one or two should be doable, if that's ok with you.

Wait. I'm confuzzled. Are we supposed to map an entire space station and somehow fit it inside a 2048³ space or just a module that we attach to some kind of hub station?

Are you compiling with Hammer, if so, you probably have incorrect game configs. If you could post your configs here, we could have a look at it to see if there's anything wrong there.

But it is recommended that you don't compile with Hammer, use an external program like my very own Compilator. :)

What? But THAT is true. Of course there was that standalone version you're talking about as well, but so is CS as a mod that requires HL and installs under half-life/cstrike.

So we're both correct, I'd say. :)

I think what they did is turned CS back into a mod for HL, like way back before Steam, during the WON HL era, CS installed itself as a mod under the half-life folder, named cstrike. It seems that this is now the case with Steam HL en Steam CS.

So I think you still need to refer to hl.exe and specify cstrike as the mod. Game folder should still be valve though.

Me like. I should map something, it's been too long.
But I think you should get rid of the fixed map size, 2048 feels too small to me, space stations are pretty big things you know.

No, you'll just have to register a Minecraft account at minecraft.net, if you haven't done that already. The account name will be your username to login into Minecraft. I don't need your password but I do need to know your username that you registered, so I can whitelist you on the server.

The server appears to be dying. I know some people don't like the extra large biomes because it's very difficult to find the new biomes.

To get people back in the game, I'm going to place a small... pedistal or some sort with a button. Or perhaps more buttons. When clicked, it will teleport you to one of the new biomes introduced in 1.7. I know the Ice Spikes biomes has already been found but there are more.

Let me know which biome you'd like to see and explore in the server.

I can try saving as jpg instead of png, but then the transparent parts of the image will become solid.

The hourly stats image works fine for me, but that probably because I'm logged in on the ClanForge site.

in which source sdk should i download? Post #317235
Indeed, the black interface of the model browser is terrible. I liked it before when it had the old green-ish Steam UI color.

And having no feedback while hovering over the selection handles is indeed annoying. What the hell did Valve do to break such a little tiny feature like changing the cursor icon when hovering over the handles that has been in Hammer since the GoldSource age. Unbelievable.

So you're saying you still need the SDK launcher to actually create a mod, let it create the mod files, the C++ source code and whatnot AND that you don't need a SDK Base?

But I thought the SDK was being phased out. What. And even then, you can only choose the actual games, not one of the SDK Base games. It's a mess. I guess you have to change the AppID to the SDK Base AppID?

I still don't understand the purpose of these Source SDK Base... games, if you can call them games. Do we need them?

And when you want to make a map for, let's say, HL2, Ep1 or Ep2, should you map for HL2, Source SDK Base 2007, SDK Base 2009 or SDK Base 2013?

It's so confusing what you need and if you need it at all.

I have never messed with server plugins before, but MCP 1.7 is still being worked on and so is ModLoader and whatnot.

So I'm not sure if I can get to all that.

But nonetheless it's a good idea to do Xmas gifts, Mindcrack does it, so why not do the same on our server.

in Map compiling problems. Post #316897
So this is a Half-Life 1 map?
Then why are you calling hl2.exe:
+map "prologue" -dev -console [b]hl2.exe[/b] -game lostmemories -dev -console +sv_lan <1>
That's never ever going to work, you know. :P

Other than the 'Larger than expected texture' message, your map seems to compile just fine, but it looks like copying the final bsp to the game's maps folder goes wrong, make sure your game is installed properly and runs properly.

in Trigger_camera troubles Post #316789
What happens if you do this:

1. Trigger first camera to turn it on.
2. Trigger it again to hopefully turn it of (not sure if that even works like that.

3. At the same time, trigger the second camera.

Camera's in GoldSource are a bit of a pain to work with, but I've seen them perform like you described in many mods, so it's definitely possible. If you can't figure it out, upload your map to the problem maps vault, so we/I can have a look at it. :)

in How to make zombie and vorts blood red? Post #316749
Get this: Half-Life SDK v2.3 (source code only, 5 MB)

To compile and build the SDK, you'll need this: Visual C++ 6.0 (73 MB) Yes, I know, it's illegal to spread software, but this is old software, and recommended for compiling the HL SDK, so eat me. :D

Open the server workspace (hl.dll) and load zombie.cpp.
Then goto line 279 and you'll find the zombie Spawn function. Inside it, look for the line:
m_bloodColor = BLOOD_COLOR_GREEN;
This is where the blood color of the zombie is defined, in this case, green, also known as yellow. Simply change it to
BLOOD_COLOR_RED
.

For the Vortigaunt, load isslave.cpp. Goto line 534 where you'll find the Vort's Spawn function. Simply do the same thing here as you did in the zombie Spawn function, changing
BLOOD_COLOR_GREEN;
to
BLOOD_COLOR_RED
.

And that's all.

2: Take coords of first mainland portal and divided by 8. Ignore the Y (vertical) coord. Just use X and Z.
Take coords from where? Top left corner? Take coords where the player's feet are, or the head?
dig down to near bedrock underneath all of the hazards and lava.
Why? The Y coord can be ignored, you said. Is it really necessary to dig all the way down to bedrock?
