Can someone confirm for me that you can compile a Source map outside Hammer using only a batchfile?
Last time i tried, it would always lead to vbsp crashing and many missing material messages would appear during the compile process.

If you prefer to make games with no programming, try Construct 2 at http://www.scirra.com/
I think all you need to do is take that vmt file, put in the same directory under the materials folder (as the original file in the gcf) then change the properties as desired. That way you'll overwrite the same file in the gcf. Don't forget to include the vmt in your bsp when you final compile.
Nobody wants to read! Make a Let's Play series instead.
Also know that seeds generated with older versions of Minecraft yield totally different worlds in newer version, so you might as well use a random seed.

Version 1.0.0.51 is here!
Fixed HLLP not being able to access the registry if UAC is on. I gave the application full access, so you may get the UAC dialog at startup when it's trying to access the registry.

Episode 3 is now online for all those who are interestedI am! I still play Minecraft too.
Aww, don't be so mean...
But yes, this is funny.
Dimbark, 192.168.1.138 isn't going to work. That's your internal IP address. For us to be able to connect to your CSS serer, you need to, 1: give us your external address and 2: you need to reroute incoming connections from your router to your local computer.

I have this Russian dude in my friends list who has over... well, see for yourself:
What a nut.
Yep, mice, frogs and butterflies mostly.
Thank you, Striker.
I just laid down some stones around her grave and planted some plants in the middle. Her final resting place now looks very peaceful.
Here's a very nice photo of her:
I'm going to have that one printed out.

Thanks Tetsu0 and Taylor. Your words mean a lot to me.
Thank you.
We just buried her this afternoon in the back garden. It was hard. It still is, especially for me because she was the closest to me, always hanging around in my room while i was mapping, programming or playing games.
Im so down right now...

Thanks all.
Funny thing: She didn't liked fish at all.
Also her sister is still with us, i don't think she knows what's going on.

@Dimbark: What? Thanks for that. :/
Thanks, Luke.
Thanks, Luke.
fighting the zombie hords up in heavenTo be honest, i hope not. But thank you anyway.
If that's true, she probably used up her last live today. Where's a 1Up when you need one. :/:(
Thank you again.
Actually, he is a she, but thanks so much for those kind words. Really means a lot to me. Thank you.
I may have figured it out. Try this:
Add -waddir to RAD and specify the path to your wad directory where halflife.wad is located in.
For example:
-waddir ...Steamsteamappsusernamehalf-lifevalve

Yep. Moved it.
No i don't need the spore launcher, thanks.
I just checked and my deagle is very buggy. It's currently being recoded by Dexter, he'll also code Otis.
I have a 95% finished weapon_displacer, there's a problem with the beams when the weapons starts up. If you're interested, i can send you the source so you can fix it, then send it back to me. Maybe this will save you some time coding the weapon from scratch as yours is only 10% done.

Will you be coding the Shocktrooper and its weapon as well?
I have noticed that your deagle is very inaccurate with the lasersight on. If i remember correctly, in Opposing Force, the deagle should be very accurate if the lasersight is on and very inacccurate if it's off.

Does the displacer also have Gordon Freeman hands? Do you mind if i use them in my mod?

You can try this tool:
Sprite Fixer
This tool allows you to modify sprites behaviour, as in you can lock it on its Z axis, so it only rotates horizontally, or you can lock it completely.

You can size the grid with the [ and ] keys.
Possibly. Time will tell.
Changelog is here: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Version_history#1.2.3
Indeed, a big update came out today, bringing Minecraft to version 1.2. 1.2.2 actually because it already got some quick bug fixes.
Hammer 4 needs a "snap vertices to grid" option. But noo...
Well, the clip tool is useful if used correctly:

Sure, i will get a clean installation of the SDK and add the Gonome and Pitdrone, but nothing more because i can't code from scratch. :nuts:. C++ makes no sense to me. Then i will upload the whole thing and share a link to it here.
I happen to have the sourcecode for the pitdrone, i can put a custom game dll together with the pitdrone AI added for you. That way you don't have to switch to Opposing Force.
Now before you ask me if i want to add more monsters, note that i barely have any C++ knowledge, but i do know how to add pre made monsters source file to the SDK and set it all up.
I also have the gonome if you want it.
Also, Blue Shift doesn't have any new monsters nor new weapons.

What i would do is make a water brush big enough to cover the entire area. I've heard this can cause lag, not sure about that. Maybe it's netlag if this is a deathmatch map.
Best to test it.

You are correct, it says so in the fgd.
Yes the light_surface gets the color of the light by looking at the average color of the texture.
Are you saying it shouldn't emit pink-ish light? Unless that's a bug and it really should emit red light like the normal texturelight on the left.

Well it didn't work for me at first, i had a bunch of small light fixtures in a room, and added one light_surface. The light_surface made all the light fixtures in the room to emit light. To make only one of them emit light, i had to use one of the filters. The 'Filter entity name' did it.
Here's what it looks like:
The light on the left is a normal texturelight. It gets its color and brightness from the light.rad file:
+0~GENERIC86R 128 0 0 60000
The light on the right emits light from the light_surface entity. Brightness is the same as the brightness value of the lights file (60000)
Now what i like the most about the light_surface entity is that you can toggle the light on and off or select a predefined appearance or custom appearance without making the actual light it emits look like its light coming from an ordinary pointlight, it MAINTAINS the texturelight look. Awesome.

I'm having trouble figuring out the difference between info_texlights and light_surface. They both turn a texture on a face into a light emitting texture, right?
It's a shame that proper documentation of these new entities and parameters of VHLT are lacking.

You should make fully working vending machines though.

Version 1.0.0.50 is here!
I recommend a clean directory, don't install this in any existing installations of HLLP.

@CT: I doubt that's going to work as the Source SDK has the habit of replacing files at startup if it detects a difference (filesize, filecontent, etc). You'll end up with an unmodified Hammer.exe again.
@Skals: Haven't started yet, CT keeps "bothering" me with bug reports and additional features to add to my HLLP.
I'll get to it as soon as i can.

You can use a monstermaker for that. Not only can it spawn monsters/npc's but other items as well such as weapons and ammo.
Simply type the name of ammo item in the Monster Type property and set Number of monsters to -1 which means it'll spawn infinitely each time your trigger the monstermaker.

It's the - symbol (dash) that indicates a random tiling texture.
You can use Wally to make a duplicate then remove the dash from the texture name.

It says it can't find gsg9.mdl. Make sure it exists at models/players/gsg9. This has nothing to do with saving.
Yes, Source Hammer is much worse when it comes to keeping floating points of vertices on the exact same spot.
If you map a complex object using VM and scaling, then work on a different object in the same map, then come back to your initial complex object you'll notice cracks and seams in its structure. If you zoom all the way in, you'll notice that the vertices are slightly spread out.
And the reason why i hope that vluzacn's HammerFloatingPointEnabler tool is better than HLfix is because we can be sure it'll work fine alongside VHLT. I know that HLfix has a couple of issues with the latest SHLT (3.9) and that HLfix is no longer being developed, so im hoping that vluzacn's HammerFloatingPointEnabler will be the perect replacement for HLfix.
