Agreeing with Mech. Some pillars would be handy, easy and useful. Just use the cylinder tool for that. It would help give some great cover in those wide open areas. Also, you could make some rounded corners for where you walls meet at a 90 degree angle, giving a little more organic feel to...

Hopefully the requirement is to not be an ass. But hey, that's just me. Timech

If he was packaging something to sell instead of being giving something to a mod community...then maybe. Jesshhhh. Again, where does it say that? People need to get over themselves. Timech

Where in the hell does it say that an "Official" release of a website statement must be grammatically correct? Good luck with the site XPac! Timech

When you get in game, go to your dev console by hitting the "~" key. You may have to turn this on by going into options and choosing this by putting a checkmark in the box. Hit the ~ key and the console box will pop up. Simply type, "buildcubemaps" without the quotes. You will see your...

If you have an enclosed room, use the "light" entity. The last number in the Brightness field is the number to mess with, as stated above. Normally the default number is 200 I think. Try this out with vis and rad to see what you come out with. If you have an outdoor environment, use the...

I have emailed Valve and hopefully in the near future they will send me a response. I figure there might be a price for using such a thing for a business, but that's the purpose I suppose. I know they sold the engine so the Vampire game could be made. I just wonder what all is involved...

I will do that. I figured I hadn't been into the model making business yet and hoped this had been dealt with before or mentioned. Thanks :). Timech

I have been showing the capabilities of the Source Engine to some folks here at work. We are starting to use Face Poser with recorded speech to create Intros to webpages and the like. Think of a talking head introducing a site or subject in a site. Where might I find out how much, if...

do you still have your .VMX?? If you do, rename it to name.VMF and it should be a good save. Give it a try. It's helped me out many a time :) Timech

Try this site, has lots of stuff. I haven't tried the mounted gun yet...but I think there is one in there. http://www.filefence.com/dropdown.php Timech

spelt? Pot, kettle...hello.

If you look at the player near the props, it looks like he is actually crouching. Which in turn would make the room a little better scaled than what it appears.

I had this same problem. You have a chance to save what you have done, at least a good portion of it. First, go to the folder where your .VMF is. Next to it will be a file with the same name, but extention will be .VMX. Rename your original .VMF to something like this...

Thanks Osilo, that helps. It is quite light on my computer at home, at least the large open room. However, it is quite dark here at work. I will have one section of hallways that are dark with flickering lights. You will have seen this section as it is covered in water on the floor... I...
