Does there need to be a new thread for every month? Why don't we just create a "Desktops" thread that you can post you monthly desktops on when the time comes.

Is the ladder thing absolutely necessary? It wouldn't really fit in in my map.

It is SP, but I thought that a SoHL map had to be run in SoHL, or can it be run in standard HL, that's really what I'm aiming for.

The only thing is sometimes I get off before I can finish a chapter, they had in the HL2 episodes and Portal so what made them not add it in Portal 2.

Um why can't I save when playing though with dev commentary? Does Valve expect to play though all of Portal 2 in one sitting when I'm listening to the dev commentaries?

Help, I got the first test chamber with the blue gel (repulsion gel I believe) and now I'm getting tons of mouse lag, my framerate is fine, averaging out at about 35 FPS but when looking around it skips and lags.

in Converting Source textures to Goldsource Post #293195
I recently downloaded a high res texture pack for Half-Life Source and I wondering if I could convert Source's .vmt and .vtf texture files to Goldsource's .wad format. Is there a way to convert and/or view Source textures?

Spring has arrived and with it the Robins have returned. But this season there's one odd Robin. Everyday I wake up at 6:00, there is this robin and he sits and pecks at the window. I go to school come home around 3:00 he's STILL there pecking at the window. He doesn't seem very fearful, although he will fly away but only if you get right up to window. I remember a few years back there was a nest of babies in a bush in front of the window and I was curious so I fed the chicks (don't freak out about the mom never coming back because she did) my Mom said she thinks it's one of the babies and now it wants food but I'm doubtful of that. What's this birds problem?

Nope, still isn't working he does the same thing.

EDIT: Nevermind I added in a multi_manager and it worked although I don't seem to have the animation "defuse" so i used another one

DOUBLEEDIT: The stupid HD pack removes that animation for some reason

Obliviously the tank is the main attraction of this map as it takes up about 10 of the 30 brushes. Basically just a military garage, I had planned to have the soldier kneeling down by the tank as if he was working on it but I'm still figuring out scripted sequences and couldn't get it to work properly.

in Sky problems Post #292535
Well I'm having yet another problem and instead of spamming and creating a new topic.
This time it's with an aiscripted_sequence. I'm basically tring to just get a grunt to play the idle animation crouching_idle. I have it set up that when I spawn I hit a trigger_once that targets a multimanager, the multimanager targets my aiscripted_sequence with its target monster set to my grunt. I have the action animation set to crouching_idle and I have the repeatable flag checked. This is where it goes wrong, even with the repeatable flag checked he won't repeat. He walks to where he has to go plays the animation for about a second or two then gets up and goes into idle. Is there something I'm missing?

in Sky problems Post #292459
I'm having trouble lighting the sky in my map. I've done it before as you can see in my MPH Combat Hall map, but now it's not working and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I tried using a light_spot and setting to "is sky" and I also tried a light_environment. Is something I'm forgetting?

EDIT: Fixed, I had forgotten to add the "sky" texture to all faces of my sky brushes.

I checked that directory only to find compile.bat didn't exist. I re-downloaded the program but it still didn't show up. Does anybody know why this is happening? May it have to do with Windows 7? Are there alternate programs I can use to compile custom wads into the .bsp?

Yeah Joebama told me the same thing, to trigger the teleport with something else, I'm going to try it today.

EDIT: Got it to work I used trigger_once that targets a multisource which is the master of my teleport :)

RC is the resonance cascade, and what I meant by that was you walk into the test chamber but you aren't teleported to xen until the RC occurs.

Thanks You both though very helpful.

EDIT: Arg the "delay before trigger" doesn't seem to be working. Anybody know why?

in Teleport questions Post #290713
How do I #1: Make a teleport so that teleporting sound plays and #2 set up a delayed teleport like the one during the RC where you teleport but not right as you get to the area you're being teleported away from?

in [CODE] Fix crowbar and Glock Post #289585
Don't know much about the topic but the original code was set for the Glock to have 18 rounds per clip so maybe if you set it back to that it would fix it, unless of course you don't want to make that change.

Opinions on:

Goldeneye 007 Wii
Goldeneye: Source

I for one just got the Wii version and its not bad, not as good as the N64 one but still a game worth playing. Of course the mod for Source isn't out yet but how do you think it will be?
