Rimrook, how am I supposed to levitate a model? Plus those sinks looks even worse than the ones I made in the first place lol.

Are those custom hl textures?
Those buildings look weird, dunno what they're supposed to be, but pretty creative. Are they from beta/alpha hl?
Edit: Hey guys, look what I found in my mapfiles folder:
It's an entrance for my comp28 map I created some time ago, I'm putting it in my final map I've just recreated (it's finished), It's a sort of rail-way station.

Looks cool, Joe! 
@DiscoStu: It's the BEVEL texture. Check out our Wiki to find out what it does.

Muzz the glossary doesn't actually say what it does, it's supposed to be the same as null only it does not create the solid face, which it doesn't state.

Post #286048
It does create a solid face, its like the CLIP brush, except that it also blocks bullets. The big difference is that it doesn't expand clip hulls. Yes, that sounds confusing, but its better than the NULL texture.

then how come you can walk through bevel?
Posted 13 years ago2010-10-03 15:04:22 UTC
Post #286050
You can only walk about halfway trough a bevel brush.
Posted 13 years ago2010-10-03 15:11:30 UTC
Post #286051
Wut? I've never had any issues with BEVEL. I can just stand on a beveled face and without sinking halfway into it.

Post #286052
I can walk through a bevel-textured face too, but not pass it.
Posted 13 years ago2010-10-03 16:18:16 UTC
Post #286057
You cant walk through the bevel texture at any point, but if there is a texture on the other side of the bevel face you wont get through, you'll only get half way, but ofc if there is a bevel texture on both opposite faces you'll get through.
Also guys I need some help: I have a problem in my map, For some reason when I am now recompiling the 1st mission of my competition map, I'm using the entire same compiler setup and texlights values for the hammer entity, but for some reason the map is a lot darker, and some of the texlights are lit in my map but emit absolutely no light! Any ideas what might be causing this? Again I'm using proper texlight entity values and extra rad.

I don't get why he covered the floor with one gigantic BEVEL brush, that doesn't make any sense to me, and it doesn't seem like the correct usage of it at all.
Stu, you know when you're walking over vertex-manipulated terrain, and you hit those weird little "bumps" in the ground when you reach the peak of a brush where two brushes meet? In technical terms, that's because the clipping plane perpendicular to the surface the player is walking on (my terminology's a little rusty here) is extruding outwards at those points, and blocking your path, so your player kind of "jumps" over those edges. Same thing with rounded corners that are created with multiple brushes. Those hidden faces perpendicular to the exposed, outside edge are supposed to be clipped off during the compiling process, and they are, but for whatever reason the clipping hull still detects the corner as being there, so it kind of extrudes out into the player's path and presents an obstacle for them. It's really annoying when you're walking over vertex manipulated terrain or going round a corner and you run into an invisible "nub" in the ground, blocking the player. Putting the bevel texture on those hidden faces is supposed to alleviate this, but the feature was never fully developed from what I understand, so it doesn't always work perfectly.

Ok guys here's my new fight yard. Figure eight layout, good fps. Everything is fast vis and fast rad compiled for now, havent dedicated time to full yet.
View from CT spawn
View to the left from CT spawn
View into the fight yard from T spawn
Middle lane from CT side. You can jump the gap across the middle shooting lane, but you won't do it on the first try.
Thoughts?

it looks really sexy, the cliffs for the most part at least, way better than your last map on twhl. As for advice, I can't give you much regarding the environment, but since it is a css map, it would be useful if you gave this map some more hiding spots and objects to hide behind, like crates or other stuff, since you don't want snipers and rifles to over power everything else.

Post #286160
Hmm.. why don't I put a couple dips in the sides of the outside walls so that two players hugging the same wall can't see eachother until they step out a bit?
I did't want to use crates because they are so cliche, but maybe i can think of something else to take up that same amount of space.

Well you always need some places to hide, If the player ever needs to reload or has the gun disadvantage inside one of those rock alleys, he should ideally be able to find a place to hide, or he will die. They don't have to be crates... heres an idea: You can add rocks the size of the player in some places of those alleys and make them look like they fell from the cliffs, that could work well.

I can't seem to fix that tearing, there was no sewing done there. I might just have to cheat and put something black underneath it?
Yeah those plants are official. Ideally I'd like to have some models of some illicit plants, either poppys or weed but these look real good for now imho.

wow, that looks crazy high poly!
Whats the polycount?
like 30K?
Other than the polies, looks good
And Stu, I don't find it that shiny, you just have to think, looks like an office type place where in the past yes they had very shiny floors, but now with all the dust collecting, maybe turn down the reflection just a bit.

Doing this for unity3D;
Planing on adding some fog/dust, (like I did in spirit of half-life,
the one that I made a smoke sprite, then had it scaled up, had had 3 of them slowly move, you could hardly see them)
In unity I got the scene set up with two pulsing lights (blue and red)
only thing is, the lights pulse at the same time, I don't know how to delay one light, they automatically start!

You'll probably have to code it. If you need help go on the Unity forums, they helped me figure out how to make a trigger that lets the player open a door when they're inside it.

I have to say, I'm not really digging the "SD" textures. Too much fake bumpmapping/emboss is what always turns me off a "SD" model, which is why I usually go for just plain old HD with AI/Romka's quality in polys and textures.

Well, the show pic is edited, like a lot.
the actual models aren't that bad in bumpmapping, also, we have an SD hassault model now, thanks to Urby.

[Edit] Finished it just now.
A matte render.
Colt Navy Model 1851
I still need to do the trigger, hammer, wood part of the handle, and the loading lever. I also need to learn how to use 3DS Max so I can actually use some of these models.
[Edit]
I'll do the loading lever tomorrow, it could be considered complete as it is because not all Model 1851's came with a loading lever.

Looks good. What program is that? Cos you're right - learning Max or XSI or some other, more "main-stream" modeling program will quickly do away with any problems of getting models into Source.
What do you plan to do with this model? If you intend it to be a view model, the only advice I might give would involve adding a few more polygons to the handle of the gun to smooth it out. If you intend on making it a world model for NPC's to wield, on the other hand, you could probably stand to remove a few polygons until just the basic shape remains, and imply any roundness in how you shade the weapon's texture.
If you don't intend on using it for either of the above two purposes, please ignore everything I just said.

That particular model has no purpose, I basically did it because I had nothing better to do. And I made it in Sketchup, because while I have both Blender and 3DS, I haven't yet learned to use them.
