Ahh, true! But, I prefer modding with lots of features that coding is necessary for implementation.

Hi, I made a poll for different platforms I have to offer for modding. To put it short and simple, which tools would you be most comfortable with for making half-life 1 mods, without pondering a lot through the SDK and C++? I tried choosing the most beginner-friendly languages that support binaries.

Oh my God, I did not pay attention to the same original filetypes having a different import mode. That worked for both unmodified and modified images. Yes, I can take it from here, now, thanks a lot! Big brain fart. Thanks!

Okay, I found some panoramic 360 image, pretty wide (1400x256), and resized it to a 2048x2048 to make it a 1:1 aspect ratio and modified it via image editor. Still gives this kind of result.

I'm using GIMP, since It's got pretty much everything Photoshop has that I need for this.
I'm getting weird results inside SkyPaint when loading the manipulated image:
Front View
Diagonal View
Top ViewCount me in! (Seriously, this time, I will do it)
I prefer mini-competitions. You do everything the way you'd like it to be, the time to do everything isn't really short at all, you don't need to build a whole new game for your entry in order to pass. If this thread was a social test then I'm not a fan of group projects. :^)

Hello Community! I have ascended. I think coming back to the community with a fine piece of singleplayer map packing would be capital! 
Yes, that's the answer I'm looking for. Thanks and sorry for late reply.
It strips weapons on round start. How to solve this problem?
I know what it's mainly for. But can I put it inside an object, for example a vertex manipulated brush or something, will it get clipped by the brush?
Thanks, I subbed to your channel.
Hope everyone's having good holidays, btw.

Hey, thanks so much, I'm really looking forward to using Blender. Might not be able to buy SketchUp, even though it shouldn't be that difficult to model the bones at least in Blender. If I find something else, then I'll move onto that. But thank you for writing, @SourceSkyBoxer and everyone else.
Now. Milkshape shouldn't be a problem, actually, I'm definitely lying, but when I open the sequence, it is exactly how I edited it (fists are clenched), but then again, when I compile the qc, they are not. The animation exists but doesn't work as intended. I exported the bones (animations) as Sequence and the mesh as Reference.
Maybe there's something missing in the qc file? I followed instructions about HL1 qc's in another thread, but I don't know.
Here are the files, again.

@Crollo, you're not being an ass at all. I did go to that link before, but after reading the other two replies here and the link for the who knows which time, It fixed my problem, but I didn't write what I'm trying to do here. I want to create, for now, an idle animation of the view model. I bent all the fingers making fists. Now, I wanted to separate the mesh and bones into "reference" and "sequence" smd files and create a qc file, but don't know how. I tried creating this
$modelname "v_newhands.mdl"
$cd ".\"
$cdtexture ".\"
$scale 1.0
$cliptotextures
$bbox 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
$cbox 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
$eyeposition 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
// Reference mesh
$body "studio" "hands_mesh"
// Animation sequence
$sequence "idle" "idle" fps 15
// End of QC script.
When compiled, the .mdl file contains default mesh (no fists).
$modelname "v_newhands.mdl"

Hi, I downloaded some rigged hand models from https://gamebanana.com/models/3544 and would like to make my own animations. I loaded the skeleton (joints).
I'm not a complete beginner to ms3d, but I never worked with these before. I selected all the joints and wanted to rotate them 90 degrees. Actually, it did rotate all of the joints literally. I want to rotate them 90 degrees and make the arms straight. This is how it rotated it. I tried every rotating option. When I check "Global" it does not rotate at all. However, when I check "Local" it does but this is how it turned out.
Ignore the Mesh, I'm focusing on the joints, for now.
I did search around some tutorials on animating skeletons, but this is how it turns out when I do it.

I'm using JACK btw. Much much better than VHE. My terrain creations look a lot better now.

@Cd5ssmffan
Thanks for the opinion!
I'm looking forward to start working with Windawz' method!!
Before that, yeah, the ground depressing should've been less blockier, but I don't focus on making things ultra realistic (Like pillars or pipes with 10 faces), I still like the same old 6 face cylinder objects, you get my point. It's still Half Life 1 everyone loves ^_^
@Windawz
Wow, thanks for sharing, really useful and will cover up loads of things with your method! Much better than mine.
Also, forgot to mention. I use BEVEL and NULL textures, BEVEL on back and uncovered sides of a cliff and NULL inside (Sides of the triangles) because players would be able to go through them and climb in an unrealistic way.

Hello, haven't been here for a while.
I'm talking about making realistic non-flat ground and rocky walls like deserts in mesas. Here, make a simple short, long and wide brush that will be your ground where you're supposed to walk on then surround it with walls, limit them because we're talking about open environment, then pick a nice sand texture and put it on the brush that is supposed to be the ground and red rock texture that goes on the walls.
You really haven't done much, it just looks too flat... looks really ugly. Luckily, there's the vertex manipulation tool that can help you mold your terrain and any object making it more realistic. Really gives beautiful results.
Here's something I'm working on
Looks really nice? It's still WIP, but the world brushes are important on this topic.
Here is how I manipulate them into what you're seeing above.
Ugh... for how long was I writing this, dang.

- Create a ground block then 2 walls one across the other
- Select one wall, clip it horizontally right in the center
- Clip it vertically right in the center, then when it "duplicates", I clip them vertically a few times until they're all cubes even on side facing player.
- Clip each cube diagonally making two triangles on each cube (Most make 4 triangles, but I prefer 2 because manipulating one side still won't give you errors.
- Use the vertex manipulation tool and distort the wall (Idk how to explain this detailed, you can tell from the result in the picture.
- Same goes for the other wall
- As for the ground, really can't explain it lol, sorry, I clip a few squares in it but try not to make it in contact with the walls and do the same thing like I did with the walls except making the ground wavy, duh.
Ugh... for how long was I writing this, dang.
Already solved with this method
I guess the only solution to this problem would be running the app in a virtual machine. I did think of this before, just wanted to solve this without it anyway, but there even might be a way, but hard :^)
It just acts as DEP is on.
Okay, so the hl.exe from the game dir which leads me to the original half life (valve dir). Tried every compatibility mod, on Vista Service Pack 2, it started, loaded a map, no problems. I closed it, run it again, same problem.

nosteam version here, if you're not supporting it, we can close this topic, no probs, there was another I made, but there were no problems with others, I never shared nor will share the pirated content, just to make things clear.
It works fine on Win7 both x86 and x64, installed win8 then on launch, it won't start. I check the task manager, launch it, hl.exe appears, gets the status Suspended then disappears. Learned about DEP (Data Execution Prevention), followed steps for turning DEP off for chosen apps then I added the hl launcher on the list. Restarted computer, I launch it from the game directory (hl.exe). It launches. I send it to desktop as a shortcut then change the game parameter to launch my mod. Same story, gets suspended. Learned about turning DEP completely off through a command line. Successfully turned it off. Rebooted, same story. First launch succeeds, changing mod dir, nothing.
Yes, SayText, thanks, I'll check it out.
Where is/are the code/s for displaying chat messages located in? In which dll does the compiled code end up as well?
Oh, just what is it with these library errors... msvcp140.dll missing error, I can't find the right one.
Any version below 2.1 is fine, for me. Keep it up.
Oh and sprite explorer, pakscape features would be a lot welcoming.

Interesting. Will it support different render modes? For older graphic cards/chips?
Fixed. The object had too many misplaced vertices
There are dosens of threads about this problem here, but none of them solves anything. Alt+P (Check for Problems) would be anyone's answer. But it doesn't show any problem. What could cause this? What would happen if the error is ignored?
The coords in the output sends me out of the map.

Developer mode reports no problems, just "Firing sentence (sentencename)" or something like that, nothing else.
The monster's (scientist's) flag Gag is only set, no other.
All of the scripted_sentences' flags are unchecked. Interrupt Speech is not needed since the scientists are gagged from speaking random sentences, right?

Does setting the flag 'Concurrent' in scripted_sentence actually allow multiple sentences to be played without interruptions? For example sci1 starts speaking, halfway to end of the sentence sci2 starts speaking, you can still hear sci1 simultaneously speaking?
I tried setting the flags 'Concurrent' and 'Interrupt Speech' to all scripted_sentence's. The result is speakers (scientists for instance) speaking but being interrupted by other speaker.
I tried setting only the flag 'Interrupt Speech'. The result is silence, no one speaks anything.
I tried setting only the flag 'Concurrent', same result as above, also same result goes for none of them being set.
I have looping ambient_generic sound playing in the background, if that causes the problem.
Edit: Also the monsters have flag 'Gag' set.

I've simply lost my nerves searching for it, still I can't find it. Every site, that actually contains "cstrike/module/acg_amxx.dll" which should be the answer, either doesn't load or doesn't actually give me the dll, it gives me some crappy dll fixing tool. It's completely useless. For those who don't know It is an AMX Mod X module, the rarest of all apparently. Does any of you THWLers know of this dll's location?
Please don't sh*tpost and actually give me direct links if you have them. Thanks.
