Had to go with generic HL rockets, as usual my brain was bigger than my time to create what I originally conceived.
Too bad, my func_vehicles are literally all rockets
Ah so it wouldn't work on anything that needs to rotate around its own origin brush.
But how do you set its position to be the thrust end of the rocket?
I grabbed the Jack one, seems to be fine so far.

Don't use spaces in your filenames.
Are they single player or deathmatch? If deathmatch, you have to make a server using the Create Server menu option, or set
deathmatch 1 and then run the map via console - then you'll get the HEV from the start and the starting weapons.You can change this stuff in the .res files in the resource directory.

hlrad also has a parameter allowing you to specify your own rad file if you want. It's nice to keep separate rad files for separate maps.
I know some of these cropped up during the Level Design Academy streams I did with Phillip. Trying to recall some that some of the viewers didn't know:
Ctrl-E centers all 2D views on the selected object.
Ctrl-3 centers the 3D view on it (JACK only)
Space + left mouse drag to move a 2D view.

Yes, even if it's a one-way transition, you need the return trigger set up properly. You can put it out of the way and make it 'use only' so it's a true one-way trip.
I think I know what you're trying to do - you could edit the one vanilla map and include that with your mod. That one should load instead of the one in the valve folder.

The problem is that the c2a3d trigger does not point to mymap.bsp, it points to c2a3c.
Also the landmarks don't need to have the same coordinates, they just need to have the same relative place in the maps (e.g. left side of a hallway, 64 units from the ground).

It also makes it easy to filter for light textures, even if you do have to make sure to add them to lights.rad or info_texlights
Check the FAQ in the blue box, there are alternate downloads.

Agree it's a feature, not a bug.
Do 1024x1024 maps really need fog? Remember, there's a whole particle system in Spirit (Aurora).
Yes, particularly helpful is the info in the docs folder in the Spirit 1.8 download.
This download is as official as it gets these days: https://www.moddb.com/mods/spirit-of-half-life/downloads/sohl-v18-with-no-source-code
Sounds good. This time I'm in. No sub-basement released years later this time.
status in the console will give you that

Env_global is not needed for a changelevel.
What engine/game is this for? And I second the request to be more specific - can you tell us the problem, and exactly what entities you are using and what properties you've set?

Which Spirit version are you using? I've mostly used 1.8 and it certainly has the Pre-Disaster flag there.
I am a huge fan of mixing things up. I'd love to see some collab projects among the mini-compos, even small ones like TWHL Tower 2 like someone mentioned.
I would check out Sulsa's Chaocity maps (1-3)
You mean texture UV lock. Regular texture lock is fine with vertex manipulation.
I don't think there's a whole tutorial here. But yes, yaw direction sets the direction the conveyor moves and pushes. You use it with a SCROLL texture (not an animated texture) to be precise.
I don't get excited about very many upcoming games at all. But hell yeah.
We could have challenges instead of competitions, no judging involved. Or a user poll instead.
Well, I didn't say the Villes were done with. We'll see what the future holds.
That said I'm 100% behind Urby's suggestion. One of these days I really will finish and submit a map on time here.

Make sure you are using rendermode solid, not texture.
Agreed, great idea and beautiful map, Doc.
You can probably set this up using a couple trigger_changetargets. Have trigger_multiple_2 target a multi_manager that targets the first trigger_changetarget at time 0 and the second trigger_changetarget at 2 seconds.
Yeah I only recently switched to info_texlights. It's nice cause the settings are embedded in the rmf rather than being a separate rad file to keep track of and distribute. LIght_surface is even better though, I'm going to that as soon as I start actually mapping for this.
Yes the light textures had ~ in the name. But that's just for convenience, texture lighting is totally controlled by lights.rad, or info_texlights, or light_surface, whichever you prefer.
How do I favorite a post
Check Spirit. I recall Laurie saying you could use calc_ratio to dynamically scale Barney's size according to his health.
I really find this image from Robert Yang useful to reference. It's not perfect but it gives a solid idea of the direction I want to be going in with map layouts.
Awesome work, J-M. So much that I missed.
Hi by the way, I think we played quite a bit of Anti-Rush HL in Sven when the difficulty was extreme a while back. I go by Scheherazade in-game.

Just use status in the console, it tells you your coordinates.
My approach is to try and make it fit in with Black Mesa, but I'm not going to skimp on detailing and making things look good. Basic architecture is acceptable for this challenge, and I may end up with a lot of that, but that's really not what I intend to build these days.
I'm not entering this challenge to go for the prizes, it's a great chance to get back into mapping and work simultaneously with the community on a project together. I'm in this to build and release a map that I'm proud of and that hopefully people will enjoy playing.

Rimrook, does that mean Worldcraft 2.0 as well? Good luck

in How to properly put in OpFor content into a hl1 mod? Post #340535
So, making an Op4 mod is straightforward, but what you're aiming to do is complicated. The game dlls hold things like enemy behavior, weapon behavior, and flashlight/night vision stuff. It sounds like you want some elements from HL and some from Op4, and mixing them in this way is probably going to require you to code your own dlls for your hybrid mod.
If you can live with the Op4 night vision and an Op4 style HUD, you should be able to recolor the HUD easily enough.
edit: Sorry, was tired when I wrote that. What it should say is that if you're using Op4 you can't recolor the HUD but you can change how most of it looks since that is set in sprite files.

@Solokiller - OK thanks for clearing the bsp name limit up. I was thinking it might be 16 characters. Isn't 16 the entity name limit?
@SSB Why are you lecturing me with the map limits?
This is cool, I hope yet again to get a map submitted.
@Jessie I thought that too. But it sneakily uses your login name for the example. Isn't that full name too long for bsp names by the way?
