There aren't many graphic cards that can run on a 230 W PSU. Im thinking about buying a computer of my own but i want to save money for a good one that can run HL2 well. Im still in school and without job so i run on a quite tight budget

PS.
lol Urby

Yeah i know it sucks! The computer itself is good enough for HL2 but it has some kind of integrated chip instead of a graphic card. I should ad that its my dad's computer and not mine. If i bought one i would make sure it could handle a game that is oven 10 years old

Thanks for all replies. I started saving the pic in 256 colour before pasting it in wally and now it works! The texture looks a bit worse but it will work. My pc don't support Open GL it has got to old graphic card

Thanks for your help guys.

Hi, i started making my own textures the other day. In the beginning it went great but then i ran into a problem. When i use my later textures in game they turn black if im standing to far away (like 10 feet away). I have tried to figure it out but came out blank. I use pictures that i paste into wally. I use them on a a standard brush (render mode normal). Maybe i messed of some setting or something.

Does anyone know what im doing wrong?

Ok, thanks!

Anyone?

Ok, but can't i just use the original animation one and speed it up somehow?And also what program do i need to create animations?

OMG that looked frickin awesome. But how do i make them run faster?

Hi, i need to make the zombies run faster for a mod but i have no idea how to do it. I have searched the internet for beginner coding tutorials but so far i have't found what im looking for. If anyone know where i can find these kind of tutorials i would apreciate if you could post a link to it.
Or you could give me some tips on how to do some basic coding, but i asume it's rather complicated.

Im thankfull for any help i can get.

Is it possible to make a half-life death match map with team specific respawn points? I want to create a team-play map where the the teams respawn at different locations.

Thanks!

Hi, im trying to make a multiplayer mod and i would like to know how to alter weapon damage fire rate and such. Are there any tutorials anywhere on this subject?

Windows 3.1? My newest computer is only about 2 years old but the idiot that put it together didn't put a graphic card in it. BTW its not my computers. Its my fathers and he don't know much about the subject. I would never buy this crap

I have tried the map on my other computer and the door did not disappear. But that computer sucks as well so it lagged like hell. It must be the software mode that messes things up.

I have another computer i can check that out on that supports OpenGL, i can try the map on that one.

Now that i tried using OpenGL i got a message saying that my computer doesn't support it. So i dont know if it disappears in that mode but it doesn't in the third video mode (direct 3D or something like that).

Ok, i see. Will the overall quality of the map be affected from being compiled on a weak computer?

My computer is worthless so it can't run on OpanGL without lag. I've got no graphic card just some lousy chip. So im practicly doomed right?

This is when i stand looking at a garage door.

And now i have backed upp a little bit, and i can se through the doors so that the truck inside is visible. Notice that the button from the first pic is also gone. It is only the entitys (and sometimes sky) that suffers from this problem. Before the red wall to the left was a func_wall and it disappeared all the time before i remade it as a simple brush.

Ok i'll get on it.

Sure, i can post a screenshot if you can tell me how to include it in my post:)

It's not that big of a map, but im using some Counter-Strike textures. Can that have something to do with it?

Now i have Batch Compiler and Zoners half-life tools. I could not find any error on the log and i can run the map. But the map works poorly.When i run around on it things keep disappearing in sertain angles so that i can se through walls and stuff. What should i do?

here's the new log.

Will that help with this problem or is it just something i should to to prevent similar problems in the future?

Hi, i compiled my map but the log was all messed up so i need your help. What does this mean and more importantly how do i fix it?

Thanks alot man,that was easy.

Hi i have minor (but anoying) problem. I want a sign over a door to explain what's inside the next room. But when i apply my sign texture the text runs from right to left (backwards). I want the sign to say storage but it says egarots. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks guys! now i got it working.

Hi I have a small problem. Im wondering how I get barney to stand his ground and not follow me when I "use" him. You know like in the original game when he replies "Sorry mr Freeman but im on duty" and he won't move.
Anyone knows how to get this working?

I can't find those noodes. I know the exist in HL but can't find them in Cs settings.

Hi i made a simple Cs training map. But when i play it with bots they just stand on the same spot, walk against a wall or some other stupid behaviour.
I think there should be some entity for this but i don't remember.
So how do i make the bots play better?

Im running 3.4. I haven't tried deleting it like you said but that would probably work. It will get pretty anoying doing this every time if im working on both a CS and HL map at the same time. But thanks for the tip, I'll use it.

I changed hammer setting to make CS maps but now i can't swich back to Hl options.
I open the tools option and choose half-life in both game configuration and build program and press apply then close the window. But when i open the options again its still set for CS, (and maps don't work in HL. So i can't make any more HL maps.
Can anyone please tell me how to fix this? Im getting frustrated.

Ok now i have the push going up .But this trigger_multiple doesn't work (dont triggers when i jump on the trampoline).The push is either always on or never on (if i click the flags "starf off").
Do i need to link the trigger_multiple to another trigger to make it work?
Im a beginner, have mercy

Hi. Im quite new to half-life mapping and i need help greating a working trampoline. I have tried some stuff like altering the gravity (but then i just get stuck in the celing forever), and creating a push (but then the push is only horizontal). I want the net (floor) to be a button that triggers the jump so that the player gets thrown up into the air. Im thinking something like those alien bouncie things from the map bounce.
I have probably just missed to change some options or something, but i hope someone can help me with this.

Ok Thanks i will do that if i run into the problem again. But now i have started a new better map using Batch and it works great so far. I just want to make sure i am doing it right. I save the .map file from hammer and runs it in Batch that creates the bsp. Is this the correct way to go?

Now i have installed batch and i think i managed to greate a bsp of my map . But the "Leaf portals saw into leafWARNING:" problem still remains so my map is unplayable. I don't think i will be able to rescue my map , but if i use batch in the future will i get rid of these kinds of errorrs? Or do i seriously need to change the way i do my mapping?

Just out of curiosity, does anyone here actually use Hammer for compiling?

Ok so can i still create the maps in hammer but compile it in batch?

Im new to this. The compiler creates the BSP right?

What other program can i use if hemmer keeps jerking around?

Damn, now all walls in my house all disapeared. They are cut in some strange way and i can't run the map. What does this mean?

Thanks but i think i will keep using hammer a while, because im just started mapping and it works quite well for me.

Thanks alot that solved it. It found an error in some texture, so i changed it.

Hi im new to mapping and have run into a problem. I started making a map and it was going ok. But now when i test my map (F9) hammer doesn't save my changes. I have added some more stuff and i can see it in the hammer windows, but when i play it the changes isn't there. Like if i move the player_start to a new place i still start on the old one. Does any one know what i can have messed up? I would really like to continue making my map.
