I know, accidentially I set my .dol models to open in Notepad and not HLMV, so now I have to change each extension manually. Torture on models with bunches of submodels for animations like scientist01-scientist20. It looks spiffy though, and my silver XP theme matches the Grey steam one. Hehe, I'm a freak about color-coding and having all my apps looking the same.

In my version of HL (1.1.2.0 or whatever that newest Steam version is) typing developer 3 should show when you pass through a trigger, what is being triggered, and any errors. Try enabling developer 3 and typing impulse 107, if it displays something about a texture, its working.

in Deep thoughts..... Post #38851
Yes and yes.

I remember that fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really on the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought, something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Why do whole families have to be torn apart by something as simple as wild dogs?

He was a cowboy, mister, and he loved the land. He loved it so much he made a woman out of dirt and married her. But when he kissed her, she disintegrated. Later, at the funeral, when the preacher said "Dust to dust," some people laughed, and the cowboy shot them. At his hanging, he told the others, "I'll be waiting for you in heaven - with a gun."

Deeeeeeeeeppppp thoughts. Very very deep.
Go get more deeeeeeeeppppppppp thoughts!

Umm, its not a func_tracktrain, so it has no origin. It just moves to one end, then goes back. Players can team up and one (or two) can sit in the jeep while the other stays in the top of the crane and moves it.

in A Horror Idea, Some Screens Post #38538
A dealer maybe good, but the times have to be very tough
Maybe he scavenges rare/powerful items/weapons and sells them at high prices/services, but the item you get is worth it?

Maybe one or two friendly NPCs along the game wouldn't hurt. The player builds relationships with them, tries to keep them safe, sometimes having to manage ammo smarter when they have the NPC with them...making gameplay harder. Yes, we shouldn't use original HL content, but maybe by coincidence, the NPC's name happens to have Barney or Calhoun in it (a tribute to HL, as it nears its final modding days with HL2's release imminent)? Theyre common names.

They just had a gigantic Media Update so there are some nice new level shots, and the weapons are looking nice (m249 and the fire axe/extingusher are my favorites). The music samples they also have available for download are nice. Go check it out if you haven't already.

As you can see, its complex. (the interior of the Jeep is enterable.) Is there an easy way to find the center of the dang thing and place the path corners for me? I don't want to have to spend hours recompiling and editing the corner three units so my train runs correctly. There's gotta be an easier way, although its neat enough that if there is no other way, I will spend hours recompiling and testing it :P .

in Damn WAD Files! Post #38424
Run the compile with -wadinclude, or on teh batch compilers there's an area to check -wadinclude and specify where the WADs are. As for textures everyone has, youre stuck with halflife, liquids, xeno, decals, and if you map for cs, all of the CS map wads. However, custom textures can easily be -wadincluded, and I just throw my customs into one huge custom.wad and include from there, it makes it easy when it comes time to compile. (just don't get as big as my 4k something textures, It gives me compile errors sometimes :zonked: )

in Free Op4? Post #38418
OpFor multiplay and most of the mods like Ricochet and DMC/TFC came with CS 1.5 in the download, and DoD switched over to steam support, so the only real full games you get are HL (no hi-def) and CS 1.6. I suppose Valve/GB threw in the SP game as a way to show support to either the people who purchased it or as a free gift to the people who supported Half-Life or CS, since it's truly a great mod.

Hmm, interesting you only need one CD key though. Someone could pick up OpFor for near free (Last time I checked, $0.99) at the used games store and just D/L Half-Life for free with Steam.

Whenever I start up Hammer it starts with the window maximized. However, it is slightly moved down for some reason and hides the grid size, coordinates, zoom, etc on that small bottom bar. I can fix this by making it smaller, non-full screen and resizing it, but this detracts from the size available and I have a small monitor (1024x768) so I need all the space I can get. Any ideas/fixes?
