No. Just make your map as nice as possible. I only need the BSP and your custom resources. You don't need an exit or entrance or any evidence of such.Ok.... so how are you going to join them together? Or you won't ?

When I assemble the whole thing together, I'm going to implement a bind script so that when you press N it goes to the next and P for the previous.

I suppose that'd mean "no loading screens".

Yeah, mine has an entrance, and it's going through a final compile now.
If you don't want that, please just make a hallway and lock the door.
EDIT: It's done. http://www.twhl.co.za/vault.php?map=5442
Now to finish my rooms:s map.

These are all going to be separate maps in the end, right?
Edit: Screenshot to show that I am in fact doing something for this. I'm being forced to take a family vacation over my spring break, starting in 2 days, so it won't be released until at least a week from now.
There will be a nice clusterfuck of wires, screens, and speakers by the time it's done. Also need to fix mr. ugly chair.
Didn't even mean to jump be on the literal cubicle bandwagon.

Idk why i double posted that... My internet is being Ass-slow today. I think my brother is playing MW2 or something.
Annnnyway... i might enter, i might not enter. Been busy with 3 projects - i really wish i didnt take on so many.
HL2RPG - Castle Disposed - Mod (Name TBA)
The latter 2 are making good progress... i still cant code for the rpg yet... but that's another thread...
512^2, anything i want?

You evil bastard. That looks great.
I have bad news about mine: It's almost finished, but it requires an entrance hallway and an exit hallway, as it was intended to be connected to other's entries. I have a way in and a way out. You can't just make the player "be there". I believe it would harm the overall effect. Is there anything we can do about that?

Start the player off at the entrance and give the player a message that they've reached the end when they do.
Quick and dirty solution, anyway.

Yeah, sure, that'd work too. But it's not as cool as arriving at the place and then leaving it behind afterwards.
I'll see what can be done.

So far the released cubicles are:

You beter be using it from now on, because my Cubicle map uses a new entity that was introduced with 3.7, the phlt_copy_brush entity.

My map respects the definition : 512 units cube, but it's rotated like this :
Is there a problem with that ? It's rotated because I have a longer element in it that needs to fit in.
Posted 14 years ago2010-03-12 10:11:06 UTC
Post #279636
How is that longer? All you are doing is reducing your floor space. The widest area would be from one corner to the opposite corner of the first square in your image.
Unless they are not to scale, in which case, nevermind...

I'm rotating the cube because it's simpler geometry, so I don't have to rotate my complex geometry.

That's acceptable I guess. Although I agree with Hotdog that you'd be losing space.

World Crafter: your entry looks SICK.. i've never seen so natural-looking brushwork for wires in HL before... (the rest looks pretty sweet too...)

Atom: what is the the "phlt_copy_brush entity"?? (i'm intrigued..)
Posted 14 years ago2010-03-12 17:45:53 UTC
Post #279648
its a new entity released with the new compile tools that copies any entity to another location. say you have a really complex wall that you want in another location, you name the wall an entity, and then you just put the copy_brush somewhere with the same origins..
i'm not sure HOW it works, but i know it's a damn cheap render. but i do know that decals on the original will transfer to the copy.

I don't know what's the time limit on this, but I'm going to post mine in 1-2 weeks, depends...
It's because I have little time to dedicate to mapping right now, but small projects like this worth the chance :).
Expect a low-quality brushwork, but lots of funny entities in my cubicle.

Should I include it in the BSP or provide it as it is ?

Quick mapping question: If I have a toggle-able door(from a button\multimanager or something else), when it is toggles(so that it moves), and on one of its faces it has a animated button texture, will the texture animate to "Open" state ? ( I made a custom on\off texture +0mytexture\+Amytexture)
[EDIT] I found out the answer. It won't. Damn... I might try using a button
[EDIT2] @#$#%$EWFDSI#@....*&*@#%!~ !!!!!
I made a loopable sound. With goldwave, added 2 cuepoints( one at the beginning and one at the end), and saved it as 8-bit mono WAV format( altough I tried with 16-bit and it works in some cases).
WHY IS THE SOUND NOT LOOPING IN-GAME ?!?!?!?!

Heh, alright. I know for a fact that some sound editing programs' cue points just don't work with HL. A few I know to work are any CoolEdit and Adobe Audition.

Post #279714
Im pretty sure that only one cue point is needed to make a wav loop ingame, and it needs to be placed at the start of the wav, not at the end. Try it out.
