Did export the dxf file for the first cube and it was perfect in the 3d app,
exporting it to mdl and viewing in hammer was the problem :(

Sledge? hmm at this point going for a different editor that i dont know just to test something minor that might even not work :( eh i just dont want to move from hammer XD anyone can confirm that its the editor issue??

btw it looks like this problem dosnt happen in hammer 4.1 for source.

Oh no the pivot is in midle of the model and the model is 32 unitcube
the problem isnt it rendering or lighting just fitting by position.
Models made in in boundaries of a grid 64x64x64 with pivot on the grid dont fit :(

Hi, i was thinking to get models as modules in my map but i noticed they don't fit ..even using a base cube model 32x32x32 i can't get it to fit like brush didnt use models like this in gold source so i guess this just is a common problem on the old engine?

It's a good way to do it, but keep in mind the max edicts limit of the hl engine if you are modding for Goldsource: 1 model= 1 light + 1 target + 1 light origin target + the model itself and the light... 6 edicts for each model, if I'm not wrong...
isnt this just for MP? btw didnt they fix it??

anyway still can't make custom light source for a model in editor ;(

well first compile i did with VHLT was significantly different with ZHLT
VHLT gives more natural and smooth look to a map, colors shadows everything feeals improved. And you get some additional entities you can use in interesting way.

Hmm i was just searching around tutorials and i found this
https://sites.google.com/site/svenmanor/tutorials/advancedlight at
ZHLT keyvalues
So i understand i can change the "light origin target" in brush entities
but at the end theres a note

"You can also use custom light origin for model-based entities"

soo...can i use same thing for monster_furniture, cycler? or is it something just for sven coop?? did i just misunderstood ;/

I'd put the brush inside.
Take the texture scaling down on the floor to increase the shadow resolution
Ok Was a bit trial and error but i got the inside scale of the brush smaller and the ground texture scaled up, it works ;] THX
Just needs a bit of fiddling XD

Still...why dosnt zhlt Opaque (blocks light) react to the light ??

What happens if you replace the non-entity brush with the entity brush?
hmm?
well i get no shadows, just collision.
I'd put the brush inside.
still i get the model pitch black :(

And what about the zhlt Opaque (blocks light) creating the different shadow?

shame old source cant use hitboxes as a collision and statick shadowcasters XD

put 4 of the same ambient generics outside the fighting arena. tick the 'play everywhere' flag and it'll minimize the stereo effect.
Yeah i think this the best way to control the audio with gameplay THX ;]

in Playing music in Half-Life Post #328926
yea i need to figure it out XD the problem with ambient_generic is the wird stereo effeckt while moving around it and wav files are much larger in file size (not a game braking thing XD) still how to controll the fade in and out timing in game ?

eh in the middle of the battle if i save and then load the music is gone.
I can't orchestrate the music with the gameplay when player loads or dies in the fight :( would need to disable player saves so player cant save after target_cdaudio is triggered.
