She'll walk... in 40 years!
Actually I took that screenshot before I noticed I was still in software mode (I found out and changed to OpenGL yesterday). Does that have an effect on texlights?
I was, but now I'm working on a different map than when I posted the thread. On that first map, I had set minimum light level to 1, that's why it appears lit.Also, the textures I'm using are custom made in my own wad. I added the ~ but I suppose it would have worked without it anyway. I have tried adding them to lights.rad and (XOR) info_texlights, but it doesn't work in either. Hence I'm posting here.
Good story, but I hope those screenshots are nowhere near final. Do you plan to work with just vanilla HL textures and models or do you intend to make more of your own?
I'm starting to think I could use a combination of two func_wall_toggles: one starting off and the other one with minimum light level 1.

Okay, after the first, say, few hundred years, everything's still fine and well. You've seen a few generations of people live and die, and had this happen to your family. Oh well, they were likely douches you could live without anyway at some points. Companionship is companionship, or so you think.(source)
Not so fast: You know how when you were younger (by human terms, a child), an hour seemed like forever to you? As people grow, their brain starts to perceive time differently. An hour feels like less time. Now extend that logic to a year, or a decade, or a century. This means that eventually, you will be completely unable to form relationships with human beings because their lives and deaths will flash past you like a tape on fast-forward.

You use IE?! D:

I have 64 dynamic lights all in the same room. I don't need them to actually emit light, only appear brighter. Come on, tell me this is possible!
It doesn't work whether I put it in lights.rad or info_texlights. It's exactly the same. A bright white point light next to the texture that goes on when I want it brighter would be fine except that this setup is repeated like 60 times together (and I read somewhere around here that the engine only supports up to 4 dynamic lights)
"Walker, of the University of South Florida, believes that if the gene can be isolated, it may provide clues to questions about why we age and die."Right the day they find that out and think of selling such a thing, I'll personally help them to die.
Imagine a god mode Hitler - he'll live long enough to find out how to noclip too! That will be a new and very long chapter of human history...
"My system always has been to turn years into months," Greenberg said. "So, if someone asked today, I might say, she's 16 months old."Following that rule, she'll be a bomb by the time she's 216 years old! Every old lady's dream

On the map I'm working on right now, the func_wall toggles between the "off" texture and the "on" texture. It looks fine when it's off, but I want it to be way brighter when it's on the "on" texture, and it doesn't happen. Both look equally dark regardless of light values - I've tried 100, 1000, 10000, and 20000. They always look exactly the same. And I don't want to set minimum light level because it would be always lit.

It doesn't. But thanks anyway, I'm not so desperate. Don't forget to floss!
We already have like pi worlds anyway. Like in Sim City, you gotta start small
Uh... where is lights.rad again?
Never mind, found it. Packing it up to PM it to you...

Of course I am. But wait a minute... texlights aren't dynamic? I just want the bloody object to appear lit up, I don't care if it actually emits the light. Is this still a correct way to do it? Maybe I should just set the minimum light level to 1 and move on...
LOL. Never mind. I saw one at 6000. But I still must be doing something wrong, as I set it to 10000 and I can barely see the texture.
He likes all his lights the same value of red?
Wow. Cpt. Terror's texlights were at 200 or so. Gotta test. I'll be back...
1. Take any point-based entity and rename it "info_texlights"I just did this and it still doesn't work.
2. use smart edit to add the name of the texture in the first field and the color/brightness in the second
3. you can add as many texlights in that same point entiy as you want. Check rooms4.rmf or rooms5.rmf, and search info_texlights if you want to see mine as example.
I have the textures +0~dfr and +A~dfr. I made a func_wall and textured it with +A~dfr, and named it a1. Then I added an info_texlights with the value pair +0~dfr / 255 64 64 128.
Finally, a trigger_auto and a multisource to toggle the a1 func_wall every second to test it. The texture does toggle, but it doesn't emit light! What am I doing wrong?
...then play Tetris with the countries and eliminate them line by line. We won't fall for your evil plans for world destruction!
BUT if you forget the "-r" extension, it'll output it as a .map, then you can use the wonders of the COMPILATOR to compile your map more effiiently than you can dream.Ah, the famous Compilator. I tend to forget it. I'll have to try it.
Wait, I can't use it in Hammer then?
Yay! Interesting. Thanks!
What's HLFIX? O_o
Gutube? There is googlevideo.com...
HA! Does it matter really? My sphere was beautifully aligned to Hammer's grid and this is what came up in game:
Yeah half the vertices are misaligned. And it's only the top half of the sphere.
This is turning out to be NOT fun anymoreAre you growing old?
American Express Extended?
How about using Sysinternals File monitor & Registry monitor to find out where it checks for Steam? 
Interesting, thanks. I had totally forgotten about Alt-E.
Maybe I should try it, my sphere looked so nice in Hammer but it looks so very misaligned when compiled! I'll post a screenshot or two later.

So in the end, it turns out my idea wasn't such a weird thing. I just needed a 48 ? ball. You'll soon find out whether it worked or not in the final compile...

Nah I just want a brush sphere to keep it simple. Because I believe it should be a bit more complicated to animate it if it were a model... right?
Edit: This is what I did... shouldn't it work?

The closer to NYC the better, but anything will do really.

I'm -1% done. I was finishing the structure and hammer just randomly crash closed without saying a word and I hadn't saved.
Note to self: Save more often.

Joke's on you! That's the ghost of the previous owner of the household 
Maybe you accidentally set another entity (say, a func_door) to glow?
I need to make a brush sphere in Hammer. I'm not sure what's the best method, but I tend to end up with invalid structures after I finish making it look nice.
I use the cylindres approach, making each one smaller as I get closer to the top and the "cap" ends up as a cone. Works fine for 8-side cylindres, but that looks too crude so I want to make it 12. I'd only need to stack 3 for the top half, then copy and invert to have the bottom half.
Of course, it might be best to make a model, but I don't know how to make proper models. Anyone has any ideas that I can try for a brush sphere? I'd rather not ask someone to model a sphere for me.
Thanks...

There is no option to upload more screenshots, it says you can upload more later while submitting it, but you really can't.And here I was thinking that everyone was too lazy to upload them!
Hotdog, don't take part in this competition! You're making me look bad already!
For the clouds, how about a cloud texture on a func_train with additive render mode?

Sounds great. If only I could map for Source.
Glad to know. I'm just back from the huge pile of homework I had last week! And I still have some, although I should have a little more free time to finish my room.
It happened to me once or twice in the last 4 or 5 years. No idea what could cause it. The easy solution is to wipe clean the hard drive and gradually install your software until the problem appears. If it's there before you install anything, you can always try a different ISP.
The King Of Varkovia proposes to include all worlds in a single map to preserve history more easily.
How do you know that wasn't what he intended?
I'm Thinking about making war here if Snarkistan does not give up a path to "Brotherhood of please fill my glass with beer punks"The Kingdom Of Varkovia kindly donates funds for construction of The Airport Of Lorenburg, thereby contributing to the tourism in Hotdog Valley.
Most of Hunteria is in nuclear winter, and the TWHUN has been dispersing refugees to various other nations.The Kingdom of Varkovia also kindly donates funds for extra evacuation and welcomes radioactived refugees into the Elvis Island while everything else goes back to normal.
The old members of the Cunt society came to this world and quickly recognized their favorite holiday's mascot already etched into the world's land.Certainly they would have also recognised the land south of it as own...?
And seeing the discovery of a New World, the Kingdom Of Varkovia hastily claims government on the as-of-yet ungoverned middle-south continent and surrounding islands and proclaims them The Kingdom Of Varkovia Offworld Territories, to which the point of entry is Settlement 1A. A world-range transport hub has been also set up at Lightport to allow travellers from other worlds to easily reach other continents of this world.
I hereby introduce you the Kingdom of Varkovia.
The capital is Pencilvania, it has the most renowned University of Architecture and its view is dominated by the legendary Germanstra?enburg where the King resides. The sister cities Earth, Wind and Fire are home to the best recording studios and dance halls, and the damned city of Amsterdamn has the main sea trade port.
Edit: damn! so many posts while the Kingdom was being cartograped! Gotta go to uni now, can't merge them. Can someone else?
"Conchuda" is cunt as far as I know..."Concha" is cunt in Latin America, "conchuda" would translate to "cunty" (as in "cunty bitch") and "co?o" in Spain (where "concha" just means shell). Dare call someone Shelly now?

But I have WON, I bet everyone else is using steam HL.Not everyone!
I have a good ole 4:3 17" Samsung CRT. Can't help but wonder wtf is going on with this...
Hey, I did that once and it worked just fine. Try not putting them in the exact same position (ie 256,256,256 and 256,256,255)
No account and no money. I could use the extra penny if I won, but I think it would throw out the spirit of the competition and make it just another "play for money" thing. I believe it's fine as it is now.
