I'm actually 15. I hope you're not too disappointed. :)

And yes, not even I can believe that I made such a map, because my mouse has a faulty left-click button and the wheel either doesn't react or it scrolls on the opposite side.

It's because my brother broke his own mouse, and I had to give him mine, so I'm now stuck with one of my old mice. Poor me. I think I should get a not-too-expensive gaming mouse someday. They say they're better than normal mice, lol.

I converted that texture in the WAD into a sprite. Finally... now I need to tweak some lighting on it. It really looks too bright.

Mmm, look at that. That's what spreading does. Cool. On the left side, the shadow is sharper than the one on the right, because the crate is much closer to the surface. I would've disabled this with -nospread, but I want your opinion. Sharp shadows without spreading or a variance of shadows with spreading? Help me decide.

Any sort? Even making short videos in 480p? R.I.P. me, then. xd

If you mean professional video production, then it's not something I'll go for. There are other things to take care of when it comes to that. Storage, recording equipment... you know, those things.

If the AMD RX 460 supports H.264 encoding... checks to see if it does ...then I guess I'll stop looking further. My laptop's Intel GMA 965 just isn't for video-editing. :/
Video-editing is something I've been doing since I was 8. Though I still have a lot to learn about that. :3

AHA!
"bang for the buck"
That's exactly why I want an AMD card.

But actually, there was a period when Nvidia cards were on my part list. If I remember it well, those were the GT 730, GT 740, GTX 650 and GTX 750 Ti. However, AMD Radeon RX 460 came out, and I liked what it was offering.

I'm not really a fanboy since I like both AMD and Nvidia's graphics cards, but it's simply the fact that my graphics card choice changes over time. After all, I don't care what I'll choose, because whatever I choose will be better than Intel GMA 965 and Intel HD Graphics 3000 (the GPU on my brother's laptop) together. Oh, at least 2x better. :]

@Urby

Hammer, you say? Doesn't make a difference to me, since I use J.A.C.K. :biggrin:

The only times I used an Nvidia graphics card were the times when I was at my other grandparents. My uncle has a PC with an Nvidia chipset.
Quake 2 and MoH:AA were the only 2 things which could run well. Sadly, the same can't be said for Tactical Ops or anything newer than that. I didn't test out GoldSRC games, though.

But that's pretty unfair to say, since the GPU itself was bottom-end, just like my laptop's iGPU. xd

I remember that, when I still had my old PC and the Ati graphics card, the performance was OK and it had no visual artefacts. No lag in GMod, HL2, CS:S, Minecraft, Far Cry 1 etc. It was my childhood graphics card, if we could call it that way. I don't quite know which exact Ati graphics card you used, so I can only speak for myself. :3
Meanwhile, my brother's laptop's iGPU, the performance of which is ~85% of the Ati Radeon HD 4650, had some issues. But let's keep Intel out of this conversation.

If I had had a proper experience with something like one of those mid-range GeForce graphics cards from the late 2000s, then I would've had a bigger set of opinions. Sadly, my lack of experience with Nvidia graphics cards just can't give me any "friction".

Imagine me as an object sliding on ice. The ice platform is split into 2 parts: Nvidia and AMD. And since I have no friction, anyone can push me on a side they prefer. That means, if I were to stop at the Nvidia side, an Nvidia graphics card would be my choice and I'd buy that one.

I'm still sliding, you know.

Anyway, time for some screenshots of de_kobbl. I made some fancy updates. :)

@Kachito
OMG, it wasn't a mistype. It's the real price of that card in my entire country at the moment. Of course, that's for a new one.
The used ones might be a whole lot cheaper. :3

But I'll NEVER get a used card in my country. It's just what the Internet folks call cancer. To be avoided. There's a site called OLX, and it's basically the Bosnian version of eBay. People sell their GPUs there, but it's risky as far as I know, even though they get good prices sometimes.

@Snehk & @rufee
My old PC's (R.I.P.) graphics card was an Ati Radeon HD 4650. Ati was then bought by AMD, therefore I formed some sort of... "love" towards their cards. Not a fanboy, though. I just like them more. <3

While Nvidia's graphics cards are an option for gaming, I won't choose them since I'm not much of a gamer by (strict, or maybe not-so-strict) standards.

And you should be aware that, because of my stubbornness, I'll never listen to anyone who says "get an Nvidia card". xd

I won't go for Nvidia GPUs, I'll get an Asus RX 460 (which is an AMD card).
Funnily enough, the RX 550 is slightly more expensive than the 460.
Lol, 90% of the graphics cards in my country are by Asus. Though, there are a few from Gigabyte and Palit. No EVGA. no MSI, darn...

Actually, winwin.ba has EVGA and MSI cards. :D (as well as Asus and Gigabyte cards)

And the GTX 1050 is nearly 300KM - 150€. Oh, you meant 1050 Ti?
The 1050 Ti is actually 340KM - 170€.

Also, if you're wondering, the GTX 1080 is 1800KM - 900€. Wow. So much power which I'll never need. xd
That's why I'm going for the RX 460: it has all I need, and its power will be enough for a decade or two, if it lasts that long.

@Snehk
I think you were joking. For the fun of it, it's not 240 "kilometers". Instead, KM is "konvertibilna marka", a currency used by my country since 1998.

It's directly tied to the Euro as 1:1.98-something. Basically, when converting KM to €, we just consider that 1€ = 2KM.

I thought you do it in the in-game settings. Oh man...
But I'm just not sure whether the GTX 750 supports the Vulkan API or not.

The RX 460 does (I think), and will definitely get good framerates at my monitor's native resolution of 1440x900. :D

Well, to be honest, I've had a lot of stuff on my mind, regarding the use of my new PC.

Let's see:
  • I'll be able to use HitFilm. It's some sort of video composition software, as far as I've seen.
  • I'll be able to do 720p video editing. Something I've strived for ever since I started YouTubing.
  • I'll be able to make my Far Cry mod in its full technical potential.
  • I'll be able to play Crysis
  • I'll be able to play GTA V and GTA IV
  • I'll be able to play all these old Call of Duty games, from 1 to Black Ops 1, on the highest settings
  • I'll be able to play and map for CS:GO
  • I'll be able to show my cousin that PC gaming is far more superior
  • I'll definitely impress my brother and my neighbour-cousin by installing shader mods into Minecraft. :D
WOW. There's even more than that, I didn't even realise. Well, you're right. But for the sake of it, I'll just stick to GoldSRC mapping for a little longer, because I've got so many things left to do. My priorities are de_kobbl, and my CS 1.6 training map series. I've had the training maps in my mind for a while.

Edit:
Speaking of your GTX 660:

It's over 600KM - 300€ in my country. It's not the same for everyone, you know...

Meanwhile:

No wonder I put "Rush B Сука" at the T spawn. :3

Also, look at the top. The brown hall with an L shape. I forgot to change the sprites on the candles there, from flame2.spr to a random glow sprite. Yeah, I hope that the flame2.spr problem will be gone.

But you're missing the point. I said it's mighty by my standards, not by the global standards. xd
That's why I think that the R7 240, the R7 250 etc. are medium-end cards. Because that's how they pass my standards.

More on that in my journal. :]

@Windawz

OMG, OMG, OMG you silly little kid!

If the 700 is bigger than 600, it doesn't mean it's more powerful.
If the 60 is bigger than 50, then it means that it's actually more powerful.

And, lol, my Asus RX 460 which I'll hopefully get, is a tiny bit better than your GTX 750. :3

And I have a dual-core with 2 gigs of RAM. Another important factor is the GPU - you have the mighty GTX 660 Ti (which is overclocked, too). I have the Intel GMA 965. If we were to compare the 2, it's like comparing an ant (my laptop) to a wolf. xd

Use the multi_manager, then.
I can recall the multi_manager working in, hmm, demo_2 and in de_stroytheschool. I should examine this stuff closer, maybe the targetnames are sensitive to capitalised letters etc.

Anyway, I put my laptop into a torture chamber - HlRad with "-chop 8 -texchop 4":

In de_kobbl's case, it goes like this:

The bomb zone triggers the multi_manager which triggers the camera.

But in de_stroytheschool, it goes like this:

The C4 explodes and breaks a func_breakable which triggers a multi_manager which triggers a camera. At least I think so... hmm...

"How did you try to trigger it?"
With a multi_manager. :P
It worked on 2 of my maps which use a camera.

de_stroytheschool has a trigger_camera which gives a scene of the school being destroyed after the C4 blows up.
And demo_2 which has a helicopter in it.

Ah well, I don't really need the camera. xd
The player can get close enough to the C4 explosion to see the beauty, without getting wrecked because of it. It's the player's option to admire the explosion. :3

And about the chop thing... it makes no damn difference. No difference whatsoever. I tried -chop 512, -chop 256 and -chop 128 (with halving the -texchop, of course), and it made no difference to me.

Of course, once you use "-notexscale", it should make a difference. :)
Basically, if your texture scale is 0.100, you'll have ultra-sharp shadows. If it's 2.000, then you'll have a very low-res thing from the mid 90s.
Basically, -notexscale treats every texture equally and projects the same grid on everything. That's at least how I think it works. Hmm, I haven't done any real experiments with it, but I'll see what I can do about it.

Quote: "It means the .gif you made features the fast-compiled version of the map, right?"
Tututututututu, not in the way you think.

The .gif featured multiple versions of the map. If you watch closely, you will see that the explosions on site A also come with a bright light entity. Some parts of the GIF don't feature that. And for some darn reason, the trigger_camera entity doesn't work, despite being triggered and having a set of path_corners to follow. >:(

To actually answer your question:
The map versions were compiled with these parameters in HlRad:
-vismatrix sparse - texreflectscale 1.28 -chop 512 -texchop 256 -bounce 1

HlVis had "-full" every time, and it was pretty quick, actually!

And no, I didn't hide the visgroups. The individual grass blades really slowed down RAD.
Quote: "I thought visgroups are used to make working on a complex map in 2D views easier.
They are, but they can have that secondary purpose of "interchanging" map features. I could literally produce all 6 versions of the map by switching the visgroups on and off, which I will do.

Well, in the compile dialogue, you have this thing called "Save Visible Objects" or something like that.

When brushes and entities (which are a part of a visgroup) are hidden (i.e. the visgroup is turned off), they don't get compiled into the map.

Literally, those are visibility groups in the editor. You can, for example, visgroup a lot of detail brushes and hide them, because they're not needed for the fast compile. It's cool. :)

So, I did some experimentation with the visgroups.
Aaand, I halved my compile time. :)

Basically, all the grass brushes (the ones with a transparent grass texture) were causing a major slowdown in HlRad, in such a way that even with -chop 512 -texchop 256 -bounce 1 it took it 10 minutes to do the job. Now it shrunk to just 5 minutes.

Now I am compiling the map with -chop 64 -texchop 32 -bounce 9 (and -texreflectscale 1.33) for a good result to show you folks how it looks like. :)

I also replaced my info_texlights with 3 light_surface entities.
In the meantime (while it's compiling), I'll show you this awesome C4 blast compilation:

My first approach:

1. Make an inverted cube
2. Cut each side into a grid of tetrahedrons

See? This is the problem because this wouldn't resemble a ball. OK, maybe it would, but still, it's more like faking it. Hmm, but GoldSRC basically fakes a lot of it, so it shouldn't really matter.

3. Smooth out, i.e. subdivide, the "displacements".

Then, the other way is much more manageable and more time-saving:

1. Put a flat 360° arch
2. Put some squares on the arch pieces (OR MAYBE, cut the squares into the arch, but that wouldn't be so easy...)
3. Elevate the edges accordingly
4. Duplicate the first hemisphere and flip it upside-down or leftside-right, however you started out.

Yeah, I'll try out both methods. :)

Well, my approach to hollowing a ball might be more mathematically incorrect, so I'll not have such an easy time if I want to make a correct one.

But hey, I don't have A's in geometry for nothing! I can make it. :)

Edit: I know! I'll construct it with pyramids instead of 4-sided blocks. :P

Ah, spiral ramps? Or curved spiral stairs? That's easy. I'll even cover that in my tutorial, The Big One. I'm 100% sure that CS 1.6 vehicles will hate those ramps. xd

Also, hollowing out a ball would be good for low-gravity Tau Cannon maps.
I can't wait to make my first hollowed ball. :D

I think he used Worldcraft. :P
Or maybe Notepad, only God and he know...

Hmm, "zasuchit rukava". Well, if south-Slavic didn't have this "a" in "zasukati", but instead had "i", then it would be "zasučiti".
Hmm... First Palatalisation - K, G, H into C, Z, S when they're in front of E and I.

I replaced the mechanism which unlocks Easter Egg doors, with a new one:

Basically, there's a bomb inside, and you need to shoot it, after you pull the lever to move the picture.

@Windawz

Not "it's", that means "it is". Instead, use "its". It's correct to use its correct form: its; but incorrect to use it's incorrect form. (see what I did there? XD)

So, "suka" should be "bitch" in English, and "pička" (or "kučka") in south-Slavic. Well, that's not such a bad word when used that way.
Did you know that south-Slavic has a verb "sukati"? XD
It has multiple meanings:
sukati pitu - to roll a pie (the crust of the pie)
zasukati rukave - to roll up sleeves
And so on...

Yes he did:

Ebanni karas'
Durak
something I couldn't recognise
Babka
Bljat (because my transcription system uses Ля = Ljа)
Ebannie v rot
etc.

He also told me that "suka" isn't a bad word by itself. I don't know any more... :P

I have that in mind, I'll add "Не на Б, иди на А!" just to confuse the players. XD
I was actually playing on this map with a Russian friend of mine, and he always rushed towards bomb spot spot B. Hahahahaha.

Also, Bosnian should have around... let me just put it this way:

If 1 alternative for that word has the mass of a peanut, then the amount of all the alternatives in south-Slavic would be equal to the mass of 4 Suns.

(I'm actually being hyperbolic on this one, but we have a lot of such words too)

@Snehk
I've got a nice skybox, just let me post some new screenshots.

"that you've got your hands on my boner"
A "boner" is when... ah well, I'm too young to know that, so I shouldn't say it. It's related to mature things in the bed, you know.

Anyway, let's see what I've done with my map:

I added this thing. And I've recently added another one with 3 boxes or lemons.

The least-detailed part of the map, i.m.o.

It's available for download (open beta), too, and I'd love to find out the framerates of others.

There's also QuArK, Radiant, Trenchbroom (oh wait, that's for Quake, xd), and so on...
But the best 2 options are J.A.C.K. and Sledge Editor. :)

I found a good texture from chateau.wad, did some colour-balancing, and forged it into this:

It needs a few slight adjustments, but it looks OK for now.

@Snehk
Actually, it looks much much better in-game:

(those are old screenshots, but you get the idea)
I basically put 4 sprites around each lamp (one for every edge) and it works very well. Render Mode is Glow too, so it gives an extra layer of awesomeness.
