in MyModIdeaInTheMaking Post #31371
Well my mod idea is very cool, and is already in the process,

Well, what im doing is a continue from the original half-life game, If you remember correctly after beating the boss, you talk to the gman, which you are on the train, most of you decide to go into the portal and your hired--well, did you ever try not going into the portal... You end up in front of unfortunate hungry beast. Well I recreate parts from the game and put in a number of texts, you see it turns out that you did not accept the gmans offer, because you know right from wrong. So anyway your in front of a beast then with a trick of the camera you get bet up (it fades, and you here sound effects-[like in the original where as you get bet up by the human_grunts]) Then with another trick of the camera you see a monster_agrunt carrying you you pass out. When awaken your on a scientist table, This is where your play starts< you get up and in walks a scientist, only that the scientest is transformed with a headcrab on its head(I forget what they where called-sorry)
With out weapons you run, and run faster, untill you escape from the facility, and whereas you find an alien type weapon(Coding done) You soon get transported back to planet earth whereas you seek out your revenge on the gman.

So whats it sound like, I just about got the intro done, and it's looking sweet already-- The mod is going to be called

"Blind Justice"

So what do you guys think, I will need more ideas, so feel free to post ideas, or even your mod ideas.

in Locked Door Post #31370
then if you want you could put two env_renders in to make the locked door dissapear, and the door that can be opened appear. So when you find the key you trigger the renders and a text. (Text stating you've found the key), then on the other side of the door make another trigger a text stating "you've used the key. The door will remain unlocked"
It makes the attributes of the game much more fun--plus no offence to the guy who wrote the tutorial, but the tut does'nt work--your missing a connected target field which screws it up and enables it to work.
I could figure it out but not any noobs... So ya azhra.. use this method for locked doors.

I find that the fade texture is very hard to work with, changing the angles, lining the edges up and everything--Maybe its cause i tried this with a cylinder, for a spotlight...

in changing weapon models for a mod. Post #31118
Ok well this is rather easy--all you do is take your new models, and rename them...errr-here do this

take your weapon files,(usually consist of 3files per gun not including the ammo[clips])
Put the weapon files into the

valve/models folder.

Now... Open up a pak explorer(HLMV) and go to the weapons you wish to replace. Say you want to replace the
9mmAR with your new model...

Theres v_9mmAR.mdl
w_9mmAR.mdl
and two others,
open each model, then open your other models, now all you have to do is rename your new models to the correct, corresponding one. and thats
it.

Hey, are you guys forgetting about all the good movies like

I know they where not based on the game but... common maybe
Half-Life will be just as good--I don't Know about you's but I think It would be great, if I may say...amazing, to see something i've played actually come to life... Does anybody agree?

in Multi-Managers Post #31043
Ok heres the problem...

I am in the process of making an intro for my mod, Where as theres
a number of game message texts (drawn from the titles.txt), Now,
I have a multi-manager trigger all of these. Which in this case works fine-no problem. But now I want to add an ambient_generic, of the
gman_offer.wav. This starts to play in the level but as soom as the multi-manager triggers the next game text, it ends the wav.
This is a partial look of my multi-manager.

txt1 5
txt2 10
txt3 15
txt4... and so on- (I also watched the number of this to be triggered,
I kept it under sixteen.)
offer 5

Offer, is the wav file.

I think it has something to do with the ambient_gen.. itself, because when I fooled around with the pitch and stuff, it seemed to play all the way through, but the pitch went up and down(sounded pathetic) So I tried again this time the sound quality was good but it kept restarting everytime a txt was triggered...

Can somebody help me?

in Worldcraft over 3D Max Post #30289
Sorry Can't help you there, never tried 3D Studio Max,
But just think Worldcraft was made for half-life--
...Now take this into account---
What is 3D Studio Max for? Creating maps, yes.
Half-Life maps, sure.
But was it specifically designed to create HL Maps. Or just a 3D world??

Anyways... I really don't know what Im talking about- I never even try'd
3D Studio Max---Oh wait, Isn't
Studio Max an Expensive program, theres your motive, You can get Worldcraft/Hammer for free... Anyways... Later.

Ok I want to know if it is possible to pack all my mods game files into one file--In which they can not be unpacked, I want to do this so that people will not just take parts of my mod and use them for there own, such as texts, sentences, background pictures, and avi files--maps Im not to worried about.

It would kind of follow the same path as what you do to make a loading screen and console screen,(as in "Setting up a mod Part 3") But intead of making a cached.wad it would make another type of file that cannot be unpacked.

Anyways... Anybody?

Just make your skybox taller, load the map and toggle the noclip on, go up to one of the top corners and look down at your map then click printscreen, and there you have it... Is this what you mean? Or do you want an overview of your map?

Here try this-- Make an env_fade with the time it takes to fade out a very high number, Therefore it will fade to slow to notice it is actually fading, You would just get a blurred picture-and I take it thats what you are looking for, so yep give it a try.
