in adition to the audio being slow, I would like the non slowed characters (i.e. the g-man and the player ) to conduct his animations/ and activities in realtime. Basically, I have the setup planned out, I simply need a way of creating and throwinga ragdoll from a trigger.

okay basically I have it worked out that I need a way of throwing ragdolls further than the physics currently does by itself as you can see the ragdoll equivilent of the npc has some sort of limit on it's motion or somthing and just won't fly in the cool way that the dead npc does!

This is what I got so far: Im looking to do the whole slowmotion at the end of HL2 idea. there are two ways of doing slomo - "host_timescale" and "phys_timescale " I abandoned the use of "host_timescale #" becasue it will slow everything down - even voice and sequences that I want to...

Just try and avoid seriously open outdoor maps. ... says the guy whose toying with a desert planet mod :)

The VMF is at the end of this post. (Change extension to .vmf ) As for the question I don't visit the VERC often and haven’t got an account so I’ll answer it here instead. 1. The 3d space is used purely for viewing models expression and animations. There is no kind of complete preview...

the only way you can probably do it is not change the wav files at all but instead edit the sounds.txt files that refer to them in the scripts folder. Simpy change how loudly the game plays them. Of course this means you'll have to normalise "manually" but at least you wont loose the work.

oohhh... i didn't know you had to restart the map after you typed buildcubemaps, thanks for that. What extra files doyou need to include to give the built cubemaps to people or does the game encorperate it with the bsp?

always on the look out for creative ways to block levels off and that train one is fantastic :)

yes it seems to be somthing thats popped out of the blue cough *bug* cough here's mine, might work you never know, other wise i'd recommend the standard fix of "redownloading the sdk" *groan* (rename to lights.rad)

i had this problem and solved it by copying the lights.rad file from my half-life2/hl2 folder to the sourcesdk/bin folder not sure if it was the best way but it worked for me

i've tried a cube map in several different positions but no luck yet... v1p3r: err... thats it at the moment! Suggest somthing! Its just a demo piece, though I will fashion out a decent room later.

Well it took me a day or two but I finally got to grips with that most bug-ridden-half-cooked-god-knows-how-they-built-the-game-with-it-program called faceposer only to discover the joy it can bring. So in a kind of quasi experiment i put together a little scene, partly to test its features...

Hehe... :) I think I've worked it out. I added a folder called sound and then placed the wav files in there in an appropriate folder. so I had ...mymod/sound/npc/gman/guilty.wav then I edited the npc_sounds_gman.txt file and added //ANDYS CUSTOM SOUNDS START HERE...

Okay here is the problem: I can do all the loading of the wav files in the phoneme editor and do all the work there etc. However when I save the file and choose "new->wav file" in the choreography I can't get at the file I've just worked on. All i get is a list of the files that are in...

I had the same problem, microsoft speech SDK need to be installed and the the wav file you are working on MUST be encoded to 44khz 16 bit stereo (use sound recorder and just do a " save as") when it wasn't my version of face poser just crashed.
