Oh and Disco, Striker's room will not be in this version, but in version 2.
That teleport is also supposed to take you to the menu map and not the first room, but this will be addressed soon. (i fixed the other things you already mentioned btw, thanks =))

Cool! That means I don't need to say I click (shoot) "Audio commentary" and then "confirm".
I did wonder whether it might be related to the download getting cut off short. I'll try to download it once again just in case it can catch 3 or 4 extra kb

If it's an archive of any form (in this case a rar file), it either won't open or give you an error message when you extract it if it's not complete. Downloading it again would probably be a waste of time.

I did get an error actually. But it was just for one file. Unless it doesn't know when the download is incomplete and there are more files missing (I thought there'd be some kind of index?)

Captian, it has been brought to my attention by Discostu that one of the textures in my second room is misaligned due to the resizing of the security monitor textures in my wad.
Thanks for the pic, Discostu.

Hey Captain T.
I'm responding to your message here. Overall the mod works pretty well.
The commentary didn't appear to work for me, but I don't see any sound files for any such thing either.
Also, you haven't activated my splash. You need to change the WON version to be called splash.bmp, not urbysplash.bmp

I've also fixed the following:

I've also fixed the following:
Readded missing rad file for Muzz's/Atom's map

Some minor optimizations in Nefarious's map (that was a sucker!)So w00t, its almost here, people!

I must apologize that i've been "missing" for the past couple of days, as i've been in a nyquil-induced coma due to my contracting the h1n1 flu virus...
(not really but i had something nasty, and i'm just starting to feel normal again!)
Anyway, muzz has finished the final compile for version one and i guess it's time for us to start beta testing? After i'm done downloading the final compile by Atom, i have a couple of small changes to make, and then i'll post a link. Thanks again to muzz for compiling everything! =)
The audio files are in the media folder, as the audio commentary makes use of the trigger_cdaudio entity.
Jeffmod: You need to send me a working and tested version of your map. in the future, i would expect you to test your map and make sure all your triggers work BEFORE you send it, please.
If it's something simple i can fix in a short amount of time, then contact me by pm and maybe i can fix it for you. otherwise, it's going to stay that way..... = )

The commentary didn't appear to work for me, but I don't see any sound files for any such thing either.That's distrubing, as DiscoStu had the same problem. You definitely double-clicked(shot at, takes two shots to bring up the submenu) the "audio commentary" and then clicked the confirm button with the caption saying "play rooms with audio commentary"?

Big NOTE:
Author Commentary and a slew of other things DO NOT work in minimod format fsr! Doors operated by trigger multiple start open, as well other problems... Shame on me for not testing in mod format sooner, but does ANYONE have an explanation why the gameplay would be different AT ALL from minimod version compared to playing the content out of the Valve folder?

Same as Mighty Atom here. Works fine on WON HL, except for the audio commentary which is completely absent. Only after reading your post I noticed the "media" folder, and it is indeed all there. Unfortunately, I can't test in Steam HL (I think I've already told why) so this is all I have.
Edit: Although a bit hard to understand (esp. :10 - :15), thanks for the audio comment blush

Do you have CD music on, Stu? The commentary just replaces the CD songs.

I don't think WON HL "knows" how to play mp3's from the media folder, as the soundtracks of Half-Life are played from the Half-Life CD.
Steam HL probably received an update that allows it to play mp3's from the Media folder.
Im not really sure if the above is correct though.
If you still want commentaries to work under WON HL, you can just convert those mp3's back to wavs and put them under sound\commentaries or something like that and then use ambient_generics to play them.

I'm sure I do have CD music on. Makes sense that mp3 playing was only implemented for Steam HL, hence I expected the commentary to be under \sound\whatever.

Some minor optimizations in Nefarious's map (that was a sucker!)Yeah how did you manage to eliminate that error? Plus the "too many visible entities" seemed impossible for me to fix, even after combining multiple func_walls into one, all over the map! = )

Yeah how did you manage to eliminate that error? Plus the "too many visible entities" seemed impossible for me to fix, even after combining multiple func_walls into one, all over the map! = )All i did was turning some very small detail objects into illusionaries, their cheaper than func_walls.
I also remade some detail objects because some brush shapes were made using two or more individual brushes, while the same shape and look could've been achieved with just one single brush.
And finally i applied the BEVEL texture to unseen faces of brush entities, especially to the water stream brushes.
All that apparently fixed that memory leak error.
Seriously, what horrible job it was.
Don't feel bad, Nefarious!

Mmmm, guess I should have been paying more attention to this. What memory leak? As from what I remember the only thing I had any problems with were the r_speeds spikes.
And yeah, I know. It was made a week before classes resumed so the entire map was left unoptimized aside from a few tweaks done on the fly (nulls, func_walls, etc). Quite frankly, I was also sick of looking at the thing, so sorry about that.
By the way, I haven't checked the updated versions of the rooms (as I don't have the password). I noticed that in one of the original releases the angle of light_environment didn't follow the length of the room (like how I released it to the vault) so it didn't look quite right to me. The glass skylight was there to shine the light into the garden area. I'm just wondering if it has been changed at all.

text would be fine, but with the limits and bugginess to gametexts makes it not feasible. I suppose we could use env_message with titles.txt tho, which seem a lot more versatile after just reading the titles.txt tutorial by Loque.
Nevertheless the first version of rooms will stay the way it is with the tts commentaries. For version 2 however, i would not have a problem changing the author commentary to "tts commentary", and/or adding a "text commentary" menu item.

i'll take a look at it again. if i can easily cut out one room-sized portion of the map, and it compiles without error, then, yes.
Alternatively it can be included in it's entirety as a "bonus feature" but i know you didn't like that idea before..
it's simply too huge to be included the way it is... if you can get to a hl1 editing machine and modify it, that would be the best solution probably..

I frankly do not have the time to debug my own maps let alone someone else's, so, If you can make the changes relatively soon, that's great... If not, we can just include it in the next official version. =)

edit:
I spent an hour getting everything ready, making the changes to the menu map and your map, and the damn thing won't compile saying: MAX_MAP_TEXTURES. =(
If there is an easy way to boost the limit, someone pleez let me know. I tried nulling/beveling some things and it made no difference, but i'm not spending anymore time trying to fix this. Muzz/atom: are you willing to get this thing working?

Maybe a cliche ?
oh about the edit : I don't know what did you do, but I could compile it just fine :|.
maybe the -texdata command ?( if I remember correctly).
