Hmm....if it is multiple segments, you would have to make 3 sets of path_corners for each way, so 3 for going up and 3 for going back down. You'd have to adjust each so each set is slightly behind the one ahead of it, as the path_corners are where the center of the train will be when it starts/ends. If they're all on the same spot, they wull meet up and bunch together.
With some work and tweaking with the path_corners, I'm sure you can get it to work. They had a similar effect in one of the Opposing Force maps in 'Friendly Fire' and in the Counter-Strike Training Mission, so if you have CS or OpFor, you could take a look at those maps and see how it was done.

Look at my answer in your other post.
and stamps can get you high, i swear....If you lick them enough, I assume.
"Homer, are you licking frogs again?"
I believe vlatitude.com has a tutorial on water that fills rooms.
But how can i fix this HOM effect?
You probably have a leak, or applied the 'null' texture to a brush you are facing, which creates the HOM effectHave you checked to make sure there isn't a NULL texture on a visible face or a leak?
Don't put the - in front of texture names unless there's a number in there, like -0, -1, -2, etc. These are textures that will be randomly tiled, and if you just put - with no number it thinks it's that randomly tiling type of texture when it's not.
Map-Go to brush number and delete brush 30.
They're coming, I'm having some more compiler issues.
Your health, weapons and such are only displayed once the player has a suit, so just place an item_suit over the player start.
hmm.....I'd make 2 sets of path corners for the train, one set named garagea 1-3 then another named garageb 1-3 then when the train hits garagea3, it triggers a changetarget that sets the path corner to garageb1, which is the same set of path corners, just set up backwards, and the next stop target on garageb1 is garageb2, and so on. Yah get me?
Biiiig.
Lol. Don't say that to Auron's face or he shall annihalate you with his sword.Yes, he will. Although he is kind of a drunkard....
Alright. Screenies should be up on my site within the hour. (Temporary screenies, the lighting won't be final as BL is going to handle that when I finish the brushwork, along with all of the other entities).
I could host it on my site. 100mb storage limit and 300gb bandwith/mo. Drop me an E-Mail. (addy in profile)
So will the map be judged more towards an entity setup/scripted sequences, or will it be judged more on architecture/ambience?
I'll have to see if I can enter...I have to finish my Snarkpit compo map too.

Once you do it enough, it seems just as fast as carving.
That's an...err...interesting....metaphor.
What graphics mode are you running? OpenGL? D3D? Software (Eww)?

There was a disco party map posted here some time ago.
Yes, but he wants players to go through and not bullets, I think.
Map-Go to brush number.... and Delete 120, 118 and 114 or fix them.
Well, that has stuff on letting people shoot through it, but I don't think there's a way to let people walk through them and not shoot through them. It's one or the other.
It might be a game bug. Reinstall.
I like meh av.
Your's scares me, monkeychow. That will haunt my dreams forever....

...nevermind, reinstalling Batch Compiler and re-setting all the options fixed it. O_o.
you don't need to put cl_. Just put desert, 2desert, dusk, night, etc...
Very nice. I like G-man's little room.
I'd compile and snap some shots of what I'm working on, but I'm having some compiling issues. The portion I'm working on looks a lot more silo/industrial-y, if you get what I mean (Think Blast Pit with some lab materials/areas being constructed)...but I'll make it look more lab-y and make the construction look more complete as the player goes through the different checkpoints. Right now, there are a few lab panels lying around, some pipes, toolboxes, etc, but as the player advances, there may be some computer equipment being setup, in the next checkpoint there's some final lighting work being done, etc etc. Ideas, Ideas! goes back to mapping

Improperly carving often can create one-unit faces accidentaly, and can screw circles up creating less-than-1 unit gaps which look bad. When you carve, you put your map in the hands of Hammer, which doesn't make the best decisions.
When I go to compile, I get this in my compile log:
hlcsg: Error: Could not open wad file half-lifevalvexeno.wad
hlcsg: Error: Could not open wad file half-lifevalvecustom.wad
hlcsg: Error: Could not open wad file half-lifevalvedecals.wad
hlcsg: Error: Could not open wad file half-lifevalvehalflife.wad
hlcsg: Error: Could not open wad file half-lifevalveliquids.wad
Now this only started to occur after I subst'ed some folders, but I have no idea where to specify where to look for WADs. They show in the editor alright, but the Compile doesn't think they exist. Anyone know why the tools decide to look in half-life and not G:half-life where the WADs are, and where I can change the location for the tools to look?

How do you try and change it? Just go into map properties, and then type a different skyname and it should work.
You need to open Steam and right-click 'Install Game' and it will convert your WON installation into Steam's GCF format, and then it will proceed to update it.
If you own OpFor, Cstrike, Ricochet, DoD, etc, just right-click and 'Install Game' and it will import them into GCFs also. It automatically imports your mods into SteamAppsyouremailhalf-life.

Stamps are narcotics?
It sounds like HOM to me.
No Problemo, Se?or.
I could write a tut on Chargers, but there's not much to write about, you just make a func_healthcharger or func_recharge.
And you don't have to put in Chargers. I run maps without them all the time just fine.

If you make the brush a func_illusionary, the player will be able to walk through it. Otherwise, it just acts as a solid world brush.
Didn't we see this same post or something similar a few days ago?
You probably have a leak, or applied the 'null' texture to a brush you are facing, which creates the HOM effect.

Trigger brushes are always rendered invisible. You have to make a brush around them if you want to see where the trigger_hurt is.
Make sure he's a little high up off the ground. Gravity'll affect him when the game starts and he'll fall, which might stop the yellow particles.
Do Not PUT AAAtrigger OR CLIP TEXTURES ON BRUSH ENTITIES!!!!You're right about keeping CLIP off of brush entities, but AAATrigger can go on brush entities, and sometimes world brushes without harm. It's on world brushes in some Valve levels that are fully compiled. (Look really carefully in 'On A Rail')
Search for 'gen'. You should find some different colors/textures and some of them are animating which might look nice on a dance floor.
does hint-ing work without vis? don't think it does =/Hint brushes are calculated when VIS is run, so no.
42.For mad scientists who keep brains in jars, here's a tip: why not add a slice of lemon to each jar, for freshness?Mmm.....Brain with Lemon.
12.If life deals you lemons, why not go kill someone with the lemons (maybe by shoving them down his throat).Death by Lemon? Mmm...Lemons.
30.When I found the skull in the woods, the first thing I did was call the police. But then I got curious about it. I picked it up, and started wondering who this person was, and why he had deer horns.Yes, who was that guy?
whats the lights.rad and why do we need to pass it on? Surley if you just keep passing the RMF and doing a full compile it isnt needed.The lights.RAD file is used when compiling to designate Texlights. You need to pass on lights.RAD because it lists all the texlights people have used in mapping and want to be texlighted. There are some custom ones people have added and are not in Valve.RAD so problems would occur and areas that should be lit wouldn't be lit.
They're working with Valve to get it off of the Third-Party games list and onto the 'My Games' list.

If you want to run custom maps, and such, make a /valve folder in half-life, then you can create /maps, /models, /sound, etc. as it doesn't create one automatically.
cycler_sprite works.
Umm, to save an entity, use the clip texture. That's what it's there for.
I used to have to do that in Red Faction for all my stairways, or the player would have to jump to get up the staircase.

i hope cs dies and doesnt get remade on the hl2 engine. that would suck bad.Too bad. There's already a Source version in development.
