i ended up being suggested something that works sort of decent. load your map, buildcubemaps as normal, load different map, load your map again.

yeah definitely. i dont know i was loaded last night and it made me laugh. but...back then i apparently solved this issue by doing what i did. i dont know how the hell that works.

damn... its interesting to read things you said years ago. i really didnt know what i was talking about. let this be a lesson to everyone. also, sorry for reviving this piece of shit.

getting back to HL2DM mapping a bit after a couple years of inactivity. things have definitely changed. im trying to make my first map with HDR lighting and its going well. i am aware i need to build cubemaps twice so i will address that later when i am finalizing. the issue i am having is...

*bump*

oh wow i did notice some odd things with that...i was like "why the hell did my 357 just turn black?". another thing...how are you supposed to use bspzip these days? i used to use this gui thing but that doesnt work anymore...and i fear using bspzip these days might be different than the way...

holy shit i think youre right the map just loaded up okay on hammer. ill have to investigate further tomorrow.

so i havent messed with source sdk in a couple years and today i decided to open up a few old projects. only thing is now it only gives me the option to map for episode 2, portal, and TF2. how do i get my HL2DM back so i can map for it? i remember back in the day you had to launch the game first...

what does that mean? also, im not gonna touch vista for another 2 years or so. maybe ill get a card thats been outdated for about 6 months to a year i think id be satisfied with that.

when i took those screens i had dropped the video settings all the way to see if that would fix it...but it didnt...but i just left it like that. now its set with those launch settings and i put all my video settings back to normal and it looks and plays great. also what kind of vid card you...

thank you so much that worked like a charm. out of curiousity...what do those parameters do? are they going to make other parts look strange or something?

it doesnt say what the minimum system requirements are on the back of the orange box...this could have been good to know. and yeah i might have to go to youtube as well if upgrading my ram is my only fix.

i tried the saving midway through the sequence didnt work. i can try installing the game on a computer i use at work and see what happens. they got ati x600 but they have 2gb of ram on em.

so i walk with a vortigaunt and he gets this glowing orb and we take the elevator back up to alyx so he can eat the orb and share his powers with the other vortigaunts to try and revive alyx - and then gman comes out and says stuff. when i get to this sequence of the game, it starts...

haha wow thats lame...never had to do that in the past (or maybe i just forgot). whatever it works now thanks guys. real 3Dstudio-esque.
