sorry havn't been around in the hl2 forums for a long time, but was wondering wasn't there supposed to be a mod that was supposed to be like rainbow six series? i remember a bunch of old skool rogue spear and raven shield mappers were supposed to be a part of it. did this mod just dissolve or is...

well who stops on a ladder when someones shooting at you, c'mon seriously :cheese:

i had this error yesterday or similiar to it. I started HL2 and it decrypted something. so try to start your HL2 game and it should try to decrypt your files. you can try this. with steam open, goto MS start, in the "run" box type this "steam://validate:220" without quotes

first off, from your pic it looks like your water is going through the bottom of your brush and causing a major leak as you can see there is no skybrush and it blurs. you need to seal off that leak.

http://www.vlatitude.com/tutorials.php good tuts here and a few on lighting (basic to advanced). search for light and sky and that should help a lot. also for your outdoor terrain check this site for displacement. http://www.snarkpit.com/editing.php?page=tutorials this will help for...

thanks for the comments. i just put barney there for measurement, but thats a good idea to have peeps cap him lol as for the hole in the ground... all i can say is I am now a master of clipping and vertex manipulation :x that took 2 or 3 days and lots of skill with "ctrl+z" cuz i work...

i talk to the wife ... and while she's talking and i'm not listening, I dream of textures, buildings and scenery. btw, anyone use the cordon feature? i tried it but it screws my map and seems to compile longer lol ... but i'm a newb so i may be doing it wrong.

yep i started with hollowing a cube. i think its ok, but then you should start minus-ing the cube and start putting brushes in its place. personally, i have no problems with carve and hallow as long as they are used as a guide and are replaced by regular brushes or done sparingly. the other...

lol i posted something for this yesterday. do you have a no clip brush in your map? you may have textured your no clip by mistake like me.

yeah, mine was happy too, i think it has to do with long brushes intersecting and even more so when you start to put in displacement. thats when i started to notice most of the vvis slowdown.

run your VVIS compile on fast instead of normal until your final compile. also start to look into optimizing your map. yes vvis sucks time, but its a beautiful thing.

hi everyone. since a lot of peeps are starting to show some spectacular pics of their WIP's, i figure what the heck. pics are posted at this site, and I will update it when i have more. this is my friends site that he just put up yesterday...

your building structure outside and lighting with spot lights looks a lot like mine. but textures and some other variations make yours look very different. now i must change my map :) so far looks good. makes me wanna post some of my screenies :cheese:

:E when i read the title, the song popped into my head lol

did you put an evn_cubemap above your water and a water_lodcontrol (the compile will fix the water_lod_control if you didn't do it)? if you did the above, you probly have a light leak into the water.
