It's over, Thanks for watching the 12 people that did.[/QUOTE]

Can you do another one over the weekend? It sounded interesting.

[CPhoneBooth]

So I decided to do this!

And it is a lot more work then you'd think it'd be.

[Skerious]

How long did it take to plan out that first set of buildings?

[QUOTE=ExplosiveCheese;43164244]Can you do another one over the weekend? It sounded interesting.[/QUOTE]

Sure, I plan to do it whenever I can/feel like it.

I don't want to flood the pimpage threads with notices that I'm streaming though.

Here's today's progress

That was fast good job

[glata]

I am getting an error on my map where if I look in a general direction from a certain room it creates an error called "Too many faces with the same material in scene": [url]http://imgur.com/a/YKMvG[/url]
From what I can gather the texture I have been using for almost all areas in the map isn't being condoned by Hammer. Is there a work around for this error or do I need to have more diversity in my texturing?
Thanks

Here's your answer. Optimize your map better with func_detail and smarter brush usage. :p

Since the visibility optimization is so bad it doesn't compile, it skips VVIS and makes the entire map rendered at once, resulting in problems.

Oh okay, haha. I knew I had to do some optimisation with HINT but it was my understand that was for in game so that clients would be able to run at higher frame rates. How do you suggest I use func_details, I have seen it mentioned before but I am not sure what the difference between a fund_detail and just an normal 'Block' is.

The use of func_detail on a brush tells vvis to skip this block from making a visleaf.

In other words, making a block a func_detail means that the brush doesn't exist for vvis resulting in faster compiles.

But it doesn't mean select the whole map and func_detail it.

Right now I'm playing around with Left 4 Dead models, and tried to recreate the doors in the game as good as I can, I ran into a little problem however.

As you see, all the models (the last one spawns when the door is completely broken, using a [U]buggy[/U] env_shooter), remain visible at all times, therefore it clips really hard.
Is there any way I can toggle visibility on these models? They are prop_dynamic_override's which are parented, and will be killed one by one until a model spawns.

I think you're just supposed to use the breakable door model by itself, and it automatically breaks into gibs the more you hit it.

[Matt2468rv]

So in Hammer whenever I try to open entity report, Hammer crashes. I caused this by searching for an invalid name or something, and because hammer remembers what's left in the text entry, it crashes whenever I open entity report. Is there a config file or something that I can open and simply clear the search value, so that I don't have to reinstall everything?... Where is the search value that hammer remembers stored?

[QUOTE=Matt2468rv;43176443]So in Hammer whenever I try to open entity report, Hammer crashes. I caused this by searching for an invalid name or something, and because hammer remembers what's left in the text entry, it crashes whenever I open entity report. Is there a config file or something that I can open and simply clear the search value, so that I don't have to clear and everything?... Where is the search value that hammer remembers stored?[/QUOTE]

Use regedit and go to computer/HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve and look in there. It might have it stored there I'm not sure though.
