because he's an idiot and never answered your question properly... the fact of the matter is that wav sounds terrable especially when your playing music from an ambient generic. and the theres the fact that it sounds like its coming from a certain direction witch is just naff. i understand what you mean about making mp3's play on ambient gen. it can be done if your coding your own mod you would just have to learn about Fmod API. and C++ but its actally really easy to do... if your wanting music mp3's playing as background music then the best way might be to make a new entity like i did in my custom version of spirit... athough i dont use it i use trigger_command.
as for the menu music in steam, i cant get it working. but i havn't really played with it enough to say i failed.

oh and another
- Zoners tools can use individual .RAD files for each map (allowing for fine lighting ajustments, just leave the .RAD file in the same directory as the map with the same file name as the map and the compilers will pick it up automaticly and override any default .RAD texture lights with the duplicate entrys.
-get good compilers
-DONT use hammers compiler front end.
-shutdown EXPLORER and anything unnessasary running, when compiling big mapps, in some cases it can shave hours off compile times.

he didn't mean a skin... he means a mod splash screen, i've just started playing with it myself. hoping to get it working for my new release of malevolence. but i havn't actally tried to make a working one yet, im just messing around at the mo. when i get it working ill make a tutorial.
Seventh-Monkey about the whole music in the menus thing. i didn't know that was possable, im going to have to investiage that further.
i should probably point out that the crash doesn't seem to happen when the mod is run under steam.
that doesn't help.... when you used hte browse for file button you didn't use the path it entered did you because it uses the entire path. as in "c:/sierra/half-life/valve/models/model_name.mdl" were as everything before the /models* should be removed from the path.
wow... i didn't know that.. 
thanks man.
thanks man.I need some help with the loading points somthing to do with the level load points is making the maps crash the HL engine at random and no one from my team seems to be able to figour it out... so if anyone can come up with anything then it would be of great help...
ofiously ill give creditation in the finnished mod and the TWHL community will be aknowlages as a whole.
thanks for anything...

one word "spirit" its hacked from the fog type effect you see when underwater.
i feel i should point out that sprites are flat... thats what sprites are, they are flat by nature and by function.
i know the problem you mean.... its more a matter of possitioning the sprit in a clever way so that it cant disapire into a brush when the angle is as such.

SOLUTION: dont build rooms above sky level.... i dont understand why you would want to anyway.!
maybe you can explain.

thats why we have IRC for communication... although MSN would be more appropriate.
as for the thing with the mappers, i think for a project of this size we would end up waiting a long time for the mappers to finnish the mapping if they had to tweak all the lighting them selves thats why it might be a good idea to split the mapping proccess its self into smaller proccesses. also when i said lighters i didn't mean the mappers would be leaving it totally up to them i ment the mappers would light it but then the lighters would tweak the lighting tones etc to get it just right.
I can be called on for any of the following:
Mapping (Im the Mapper of malevolence)
Graphics (http://www.oxygen8.cjb.net < all my own graphics.)
Web site (http://www.oxygen8.cjb.net < HTML coded no WISIWIG used)
Textures (theres a texture pack on my site)

you might have the format wrong... is it using progressive encoding or anything like that.
Seventh no ones talking about mirros .... there talking about shiny reflections not mirror reflections.
i know what he means .... its somthing to do with the texture handalling but it rearly happens so dont worry about it its just a bug thats why its still called BETA. but its still a damd site better than the previouse versions.
ok now i know what your doing...
if you need anything doing or need help with anything you know were you can find me.
and dont forget my dynamic muzzle flash... it rules and you know it.

Coolfat3459 you never had a reputation to begin with... lol

yeh i agree its a nice system but for dialup users it sucks balls.
i like the idea of a ranking system maybe you could do it with little pips bellow the user name.... so that even people who are unfamiliar with e sites hiyerarcy can understand it.
for example a set of say 5 pips or starts but greyed out untill you earn them at witch point they go red and then once you get a full set of red they could go silver and then gold. or somthing like that....
that way its simple so that everone will understand the ranks.

ummm, your screenys are nice.. although to make your mapps feel more detailed try using a wider array of textures... rather than using that same one on the walls and ceiling try adding say a band around the middle of the room and make the upper half of the wall differant or somthing like that and make the ceiling a slitly differant texture. also try experimenting with lighting... lighting can make a huge differance to the feeling of your maps... especially spot lighting in tight areas... so as to give intense shaddows...
ENOUGH with the software mode, its horrable change it to open GL already.

yep you just described me.... lol.... so what are you goth? geek? punk? what?
CS and TFC are now available on the steam network.... 
BAH stupid WON shutdown sucks./
BAH stupid WON shutdown sucks./its a bad idea to have it so it gets passed on... you need a hyeracy... overwise you just end up with a mish mash of different styles of mapping...
maybe it could be done like they did half-life:
team 1 - mapping
team 2 - texturing. (texture creation, and alignment etc.)
team 3 - Props... (adding little details)
team 4 - lighting and atmos
team 5 - Technical (adding mechanisma)
then you have coders, modelers, graphics people... etc etc.
some kinda hyeracy like that would work alot better. remember project quantum leap... :S i didn't like that because it was too all over the place.

all of the above are possable... the flip trick is crap. forget about it, as for dynamicly rendered mirrors yes it is possable but its very slow and very difficult to set up.
shiny glass is very easy to do... i dont mean relfective glass i mean "shiny" the best and easist way is to use a shiny single polygon made in milkshape with a crome effect on it. Mannon C. Martin made a good one... its called MCM_Polygon... look for it. if you cant find it i think i have it some were, just add me to messenger and ill send it you.

if its a func_door or func_rotatingdoor then its impossable to have it break... if its a func_breakable you can have it break but you wont be able to have it move with the door.... however if its a spirit map or for a mod your working on and can add spirit too then you can implement the movewith feature and have the func_breakable simple move with the func_door...
whats "e-mo"
Neil Manke has become a mapping legend... hes the reason i started mapping.
sooooo. where is it?
i thought andy was the owner of the site.
post the map so we can take a look.
my site is never on there but i log in a fair bit.
but i log in a fair bit.lol.. its a chip or device that switchs its state when told too no matter what state its already in... like like a func_master can be set up to do in HL... lol
:S scarry when you think of things in HL terms.
two switches in your house will be done with a special switch called a 2-way switch it has everything already build into it... its actally a really simple concept... just look for a diagram

yeh but even if it is a recent version its still far from complete...
RED GUI.... the original screenshots of long horn showed a new red GUI. it was hidiouse.

Longhorn looks like it might actally be decent... they just ditched the red GUI and they are using a blue one now that just looks like an update of the default windows one... as for the features and how it runs... well who can say at this stage :S
:s come to think of it i think there is an age of empires expansion called age of conflict :S.... im not sure but it does seem familiar.... best check it up first.
emulators.... SEEE!... thats why i use windows and the same reason i use ms office... its all a compatability issue... open office scares me...lol... so does linux... as for other operating systems... well name me a good one and ill try it but im douting its better than XP even though XP isn't exacly brilliant.
PS: BTW..... the whole gay thing was established months ago, its not an issue. besides this is a mapping community not a bitch about eachothers sexuality community. nuf said!

lol... indeed
you lost everything :O.... geeez... for future referance get a second hard drive or just set up another partition... then use it for all your files, games and downloads. that way you wont lose anything when you format your primary drive.. thats what i do... also that way formating and reinstalling everything isn't such a big deal because you dont have to backup and restore everything and even if windows wont load becouse of an error your data is still safe even if you have to format...
you do know you probably didn't have to format, you could have just installed a fresh OS!. without a reformat

i disagree with there programs being good there just leave us with very little option, and there not "good" there "average"... and YES i do use XP and yes i do use MS office, but thats only becouse they dont leave us with much choice because they monopolize the market. if there was anything better out there then i would be using it. especially as far as windows is conserned, i mean the only other real option would be linux and i just dont like it. so it looks like im stuck with windows.
anyway this thread isn't about how much people hate/support microsoft. its about the colour of the Xbox.. lol
anyway this thread isn't about how much people hate/support microsoft. its about the colour of the Xbox..
lolI wont buy an Xbox because i wont support microsoft. i love the gamecube because its got some really chilled out games, i dont want to play games that are all seriouse all the time i wana play games that are fun and have wacky ideas like mario and sonic... oh and dont give me all that "oh the Xbox has more power" shite, because it doesn't matter, incase you never noticed state of the art graphics and special effects dont make for a better game.. they just enhance what good gameplay is already there...
oh and the currency (?) is a great british pound symble... $1.00 (USD) is = to ?0.57p (GBP) (the small "p" is for pence, as apposed to cent)
as for the avator... well you deside what its all about... durrrr!

have WON closed DOWN! 
ok... two of my friends who have an Xbox say its green and i noticed this too... there right it is a bezzar green colour... almost completly black but if you get it in the right light and look there is definitly a green tint... can some people please back me up on this. my roomie swears its not.. he says its black even though the microsoft web site says it according to him there talking about the centre logo...
BTW im not talking about the special edition xBox that was a very deep green im talking about the origial "standard" xbox, thats very delicatly tinted green.

ummm, weres the new compo someone said it was already up!.
do we get marked on poly counts. will high r_speeds effect your score.
ohhhh! just read back. does this mean that the winner of each comp gets to set the theme for the next one? cos im entering if thats the case.
