Yaw/Roll is apparently nonworking in 3.5 so if you use the little compasses to adjust everything, don't. Use ctrl-m. And did it actually delete any keyvalues? Apparently, "body" is an unused keyvalue for a furniture, but it's the only way I can get it to work in-game.
Meh, i've never really used it, but I know there's some nice "speak as" stuff so you can make barneys talk as scis, etc. plus some trigger_command for console commands and some changecvar stuff. Plus a lot more, take a look at README.htm and some example maps.
Only with point, I believe. I know in the NS FGD there is support for texlight control over appearance, though, so if you map for NS you're in luck. Dunno if they can be targeted though.
Yah, make sure TL stays on. It screws with your textures' alignments if it's off and you move things.
With the "move with" feature, if i'm not mistaken. Look over on the main spirit site on how to use it.
What you are seeing, Mr. Freeman, is not real.
H-L - The Matrix? G-Man reminds me of Agent Smith, come to think about it.
Instead of the awesome lobby scene with the guns and crap, gordon takes on all of the hgrunts with his...crowbar! mwahaha!
And if they used Hawking, he'd be Dr. Keller. The wheelchair says it all.
And methinks Depp would ditch the crowbar for.....scissorhands! lol.
And Judo-Gordon would be awesome.
And part of what made the whole Half-Life (heh) premise fun was that you were immersed in the game, controlling Freeman, and the world came alive around you. I doubt they could replicate that in a movie form unless it was shown from Gordon's POV, but then it'd be like another HL expansion, just non-interactive. And on a big screen. And with popcorn. Mmm....popcorn.
And I'm done. For now.

^ "Do you not posess a graphics card?"
Obviously, he posseses a graphix card, otherwise he could not run HL, never mind teh computer itself. Don't you mean a "decent" graphics card?
And software mode stinks. OpenGL rocks.

Un-Func_wall them and see if they show up. If they do, use them as visblocks and leave them as world brushes.
And yeah, what are the properties on the light? Flags?

Ah. I've been working with it as a func_door as it is so much easier. I hate path corners.
Hmm...I see no "not solid" flag on a func_door in VHE 3.5. Anyways, I'm posting an example map of how to do this, with non-accessable doors (solid) in the example maps for future reference.
It's still solid if it moves though, right? It looks transparent due to the additive, but if it's a func_door or train or whatever, it's still solid.
Panzer Mensch!
What's up with notepad mapping anyways? It seems only useful to prove your l33tness in mapping....is it any better than hammer in any way?
Yup. They can't be below .10 (I've gotten to .09 in some cases) and above 10 to my knowledge. And in the cases with xxxxx/0 it is caused by this, otherwise it's a bug in your HL installation or something (i.e. xxxxxx/40 or something)
Well, I think the only way to batch compile is using the ZHLT tools or a variant thereof.
Yeah, it's bad, but I find it fun.
Sometimes it defaults to Wireframe, so it might not have been an accident.
"Check your configuration in Hammer and your compile log. Your new map isn't getting copied to the right place, or isn't getting compiled at all."
Or, there's something wrong with it.
Compile error? Seems most likely to me, I had this problem a lot when I added changes and they weren't showing up.

Shouldn't the scanner be a func_button that plays it's locked sound when the player trys to use it, and the master is triggered when Barney reaches the scanner, so it then plays it's unlocked sound? It seems annoying to set up all these ambient_generics to play the sounds.
Okay, a brush entity is an entity made up of a brush, like a func_wall, or a door. Point entities on the other hand are entities created with the entity tool. I'm not familiar with RIPENT and Notepad map editing, but in Hammer and WC a buyzone is designated with a brush entity set to a func_buyzone.
Heeey, I like AS maps. At least, I like as_oilrig.
Have you pressed Alt-P in hammer? You might have a few errors to fix.
Right, I opened the .map up with wordpad. It's not under the "wad" line. I just removed the ones unnecessary and it worked.
Defusion HL Rally.
Nope, no count.wad. And I'm using the ZHLT Compile GUI, would a batch compiler be better? I'll take a look at the map, and if not, i'll try and reduce the range of my wads.
Ut2k4 has most of my gaming attention right now, but only in SP and Instant Action. Stupid 56k. I bought the DVD edition with all the editing and modding tutorials but UnrealEd is so confusing that I just ditched the idea of mapping for it. I used to play DiabloII all the way before LoD came out, but 1.10 screwed the game. Ladder sucks. Plus, it was so darn addicting. I play a lot big-name FPS's like BF 1942, BFVietnam, CS, and some underdogs like Swat 3. When i'm truly bored, I'll pop in Restaurant Empire, anything from my Command and Conquer pack or Train Simulator, and SimCity 4 Rush Hour gets a lot of playtime on my comp, along with WC3 Frozen Throne. Along with the endless flood ofmods which noone seems to play for HL, like S&I and NS.
On Ps2 I play AC04, Half-Life (Decay!) both GTAs and a few others.
Hmm...was that long enough for y'all?

Also, I suppose I could remove the ones not used, then add them when I'm finished with my map, but that's really annoying....
Tut didnt help. And besides, if i combine, won't I have to wadinclude, therefore bumping up an already large DL? (I've got 2 custom 12megwads in use) :
I'm creating a CS map and have all my cs_ wads loaded along with a few custom and the halflife wads. I compile and get the usual "warning: more than 8 wads in use" but when I run CS i get "Could not open valve/count.wad". count.wad is not loaded into VHE's wadlist and to my knowledge, doesn't exist. I've had 16-20 wads in use before and ZHLT and HL seemed to work fine, so what's up? If this is the case, how can I use all my CS textures without creating one giant wad or wadincluding and forcing people to download a gargantuan file with textures they already have?
Show Info shows what individual wads are being used, not each one loaded in Hammer. Example: I load all my cstrike wads into hammer, but only use some textures from cs_bdog. Show information will only display cs_bdog.wad as it is the only wad that textures are being used from.
Carving screws up texture alignment for the most part, and it's annoying to have to go back and fix your perfectly aligned textures.
You'd have to make a mod for OpFor if you want the sniper rifle. A mod for a mod, if you will.
Optionally, you could re-code it to replace a normal HL weapon, like the 9mmAR or Gauss.
Horribly random bit of trivia: FGD stands for Forge Game Data.

No problem. Also, if you want to find what wads your map is using in Hammer, go to Map-Show Information.
Hmm...Okay, thanks for the responses.
Okay, I've got a u_plant model in my map as a monster_furniture. However, it wont stay still. I was going to scripted_sequence it and give it a still animation, but it has only one anim, which is its annoying wave routine. How do I keep it still? I cant find it on any tutorials, and I've played around with all of it's flags and it still won't work. 
Light causes water-drownage-effects? Weird...Should be Volumetric Water then.
You can select the wad to look in on the texture application window, then search in each wad for it. That's the only way I know to do it....other than looking at texture tags on some of them, for example, textures named ba_xxxxx are from Blue Shift.
What's easy for me is to have a desktop/quick launch shortcut to hl.exe:
C:SIERRAHalf-Lifehl.exe -dev -console
(depending on where your HL installation is)
in the target field. Works great every time, and it can be changed to add commands like -particles easily. Try that.

Did you look for the HIT? (HL Improvement Team) They've got a forum that, if you're registered, has some talented modellers and replacements. You might find one there.
I'm not l33t enough to use GameSpy! No, actually, it takes around an hour to detect server settings or whatever when it starts up. I just use the browser in Cstrike/HL/OpFor/whatever. Works fine.
Cold War.
Meh, I like my ProCarbine better. Good luck though!
Mkay, thanks. And my models are unpacked, I'm using a gib model to add some tissues from the med_crategib model, and it has submodels for each item. I wrote a tutorial on 'em on VERC:

Okay, first set the brush that you want faded to a func_illusionary. This makes it visible, but not solid. Set the contents box to either empty or light, (doesnt really matter) then make sure the black bit of the fade texture is where the light would start to fade. I.E., its at the end away from the window or whatever the source of light is. In other worsd, the pure black is where it will appear invisible, as additive brushes render black transparent, sort of how like solid renders blue invisible. Change the rendermode to "Additive" and the renderamt around 40 or so, experiment with different values to get a different effect.

It only shows up in dev mode, so if you are working on a mod, just make sure it doesn't run in dev. There's also a way to disable it in the most recent version of Spirit, but i'm too lazy to go re-dl it and figure out how.
I made it in VHE 3.4, then lost the RMF so I tried to load teh map....Dunno what was wrong with it, but I think it had a bit less than 1701409628 solids in it.
I know it has issues, but this one made me laugh:
I'm using a monster_furniture and to define the body the model should use I added a body key with the number. However, it says body is an unused keyvalue for monster_furniture. In-game it appears correct, and everything works fine and compiles right. Is it necessary to fix these values, or can I leave the "error"?
If the OpFor CD version don't work, i'd update to 1.0.0.9 or 1.1.0.0. I have 56k too....just find a download manager like DAP or GoZilla and then you can leave updates and such on overnight or during the day. And yes, gl_wireframe is a dev command.
Maybe he means Light_Environment by Light_ev? And more than 8 textures run fine on my machine when compiling, so what's up with the limit?
