It depends....do you have a number of soldiers in your map that will be hidden until they're triggered, or are all the models all necessary?

Odd. Try a reinstall, then take off the drivers and see if it still does it.

They're excellent for Digital Video editing but are falling short on the game development community. That's why I switched over not too long ago. I think it's easier to manage this way, and the pages can be expanded upon if there is lots of information, screens, etc, which would not fit in a popup window or text.

If you're speaking about the Glossary, it's easier to have them on their own pages due to compatability issues, I suppose. Ie, one browser not supporting the popup window script.

Oh no, not the map maker for Time Splitters, that thing is so incredibly BAD
It's not horrible, but it has its limitations and you can't make big maps for it. I've cobbled together a few small 2 and 4 player deathmatch maps with it that were actually quite fun, but it limits how much you can place, making it impossible for...well..pretty much anything but DM.

Not bad. I like your choice of Blazeer's textures.

I'm with BL, it needs some more hiding areas....crates, debris, vehicles, furniture...etc. But the lighting is spot on.

In pics 5 and 7, there could be a little more detail on the walls and building, or maybe a different texture.

My house is too small to base a decent map around. Maybe I'll make a hostage model of myself and map one for small (4player or so) games of CS. Or make it rats scale (eww).

It might be a real challenge to map my house identically, though, the more that I think of it. Maybe I'll try it if I get some time. No school though. Too many "my school" maps.

How do you stop a spawn area from buying?
You make the buyzones out of the map area so that the game thinks people can buy, but they aren't accessable.

As for spawn deaths, make sure the spawn point isn't accidentaly one unit stuck into a wall or something, and make sure they aren't being dropped from high heights or accidentaly being in a trigger_hurt.

It's in MP but created locally/over your LAN instead of online. I think CP is right, you'll have to use those commands to enable online MP. It's not that much of a hassle to go in and create a game manually, so if it doesn't work, don't spend too much time on it.

It ain't a sprite. shell.mdl is the shell model that comes from the guns.

biggun2, biggun, rifle and rifle2 are some wav names (I think) that are gun sounds. If your HL isn't installed properly, find the CDs or Steam and reinstall...bad installations can affect game stability and operativity (that even a word?)

You have to register with FP to download anything from there. It's free. You can opt to have no download lines and pay, though.

Wally can make textures and PAKs to store models, sound, maps, and other game files in, in a variety of formats. It doesn't perform incredibly great for making textures by hand, just for editing sizes/palettes/small things. Look into Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro for image editing.
