I believe that's what CLIP brushes are partially meant for.
CLIP won't help you on ground and edges collisions.

I also know that technique of making terrain.

But the thing that annoy me with a terrain like that is the collision, but hey, it's Gold Source ^^

@supersonikyouth : MachineGames is a "sub-brand" of Bethesda. Since id Tech 5 (RAGE), the engines will no longer be open source like they used to and they are reserved to Bethesda and "child brands" like Id and Machine Games.

I think this is done in the MDL file, decompile the "zombie.mdl" with MDLDec, take a look at the QC file with Notepad, change the value, recompile with StudioMDL.

GoldSrc has a lot of trouble with huge open terrain maps even if you optimise to the max.

in Post your screenshots! WIP thread Post #330315
Am I the only one here who "try" to match the texture sizes with the faces sizes ? In other words, if there is a 2048 units cube, I would use 512x512 textures scaled at 1.0 (or 0.5) and if there is a cube at 64 units, use a 64x64 texture scaled at 1.0 (or 0.5).
It doesn't matter how powerful your computer is, because the engine is old and can be unperformant easly if misused.
+1
The good thing is that you don't need more than 100 fps to play any Goldsrc based game, as more fps would just create a mess with the entities (especially NPCs) making them turn really slow depending on how many frames you're getting (the more the slower).
I see a lot this problem with Barney (when you move him because he's blocking you), and I think this is a mistake made on Valve's end because if I remember correctly, the formula is "Speed = Yaw speed depending on the monster and the activity * time between 2 frames * 10". I think this can be fixed by removing the "time between 2 frames" variable but I'm not willing to try.
Also bunnyhopping would be harder for the same reason, being unable to maintain speed.
This would be very noticeable if you play on WON or you remove the bunnyhop cap limit on Steam. Otherwise, I don't think it's really an issue.

in ~0Light texture's light... Post #330281
There is no "-game" argument in HLRAD.

The "-lights" argument is useless because the default "lights.rad" (in the same folder as HLRAD) is loaded. "-lights" should only be used in the case of a custom shared on multiple maps "lights.rad".

Are your Valve Hammer Editor settings correct ?

Something I would like to point out about the "known issue" (if not fixed already), if your coder add the "update HUD items" message on "CBasePlayer::UpdateClientData" (just after the line of code that trigger all entities named "game_playerspawn"), does it solve the issue ?

Take back what you said about backslashes or I'm calling the cops.
About the calling the cops
Still with the paths as you mentioned, it does not work. It does not give me an error anymore but the sprites won't show.
Did you set the render mode to "Glow" and a render amount to a good value (like 128)

in Error opening map with standard sprites Post #330206
NEVER use absolute paths. ALWAYS use relative paths.

Absolute path (WRONG):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\tfc\sprites\glow04.spr


Relative path (CORRECT):
sprites/glow04.spr


1) Not everybody has it's Windows installation on "C:\"
2) Not everybody has it's Steam installation on "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam"
3) Not everybody has it's Steam library on "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps"
4) "\" is evil, dirty, something that should be burn to Hell, even "\\" is bad, "/" FTW.

in Including a header Post #330197
You can't just include "player.h" (server side) on the client project. If it's about weapons, the thing you can do is transmit "pPlayer->m_flSndRoomtype" through the event. Otherwise you can use a HUD message.

Even more simplier, "env_sound" changes the "room_type" CVAR, so you can use "gEngfuncs.GetCvarFloat" (can't remember).

in Load/Save Issue Post #330161
Your programmer forgot to add the variables into the save table.

Assuming the player's cash is stored in a variable called "m_iCash" in the "CBasePlayer" class. Your programmer will need to add the following line in the "m_playerSaveData" TYPEDESCRIPTION array (in the beginning of "player.cpp") :

DEFINE_FIELD( CBasePlayer, m_iCash, FIELD_INTEGER ),

As for the items, I would recommend to use the "m_rgItems" variable in the "CBasePlayer" class, it's an "int" array. Ask your programmer to look for "ITEM_ANTIDOTE" as an example and make sure he don't forget to change if necessary the "MAX_ITEMS" constant (otherwise it will be infinite boose, drugs...). The "m_rgItems" is already saved so no need to add to the save table.

The error is: "Error: can't read 1 bytes from file example.rmf". Did someone already get this?
Why you didn't used Jackhammer's format (JMF) ?

The only thing I see is the little hole in the second screenshot. I don't know what is causing this, maybe it has to do with your model.

You can't use Direct3D in the Steam version anymore. I don't think that Software will change anything too.

Welcome to TWHL African ^^

That is a nice map you made for a beginner, keep up the good work. I think you noticed already the yellow flying dots reporting that a monster is stuck, might want to fix that.

I'm guessing you are using the "Software" renderer ? ^^

Standard way :
