[QUOTE=glitchvid;45169096]Yeah, how many are there?[/QUOTE] 33 total, but they're all high quality (because nexon never bothered to optimize them...) and it's ~100mb uncompressed.

Make them thinner. :P Oh, and accept my friend request on Steam, you big jerk!

I'm no architect but concrete is awfully heavy stuff to be using as a truss. Concrete is much stronger in vertical applications than horizontal ones, unless rebar is used properly.

I've very loosely replicated that in an example vmf for illustrative purposes, I recommend you do something similar: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26426931/Ver/slidingdoorexample.zip[/url]

It's your door now though isn't it. :v:

I'm wondering if it's easier than it is in the hammer editor for the sake of curiosity since I spent at least an hour trying to get my head around importing custom textures for my "Road Closed" store and I still can't figure it out.

The textures I made for the 7-Eleven esque store I still have to put on textures just show specifically what's being sold, like what you usually see on posters for convenience stores.

I could help with textures and whatnot if you need it, just feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll be more than glad to hook you up with stuff like that.

Making a new HL : Opposing Force map for some reason but here is my progress. Bear in mind it's for deathmatch so some stuff won't make much sense(?)

Almost done with ctf-lavagiant port: [thumb]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/3245156510473391410/60CDE1DAB213681CF8CF231586D9004B70B333C1/[/thumb] Ignore the weird lighting, it's Gmod lamps because no light on that side of the map yet. 99% of the terrain is done, all that's left is creating the two bases, placing weapons and doing some very basic optimization. Since the entire map is world brushes, it's not really possible to make the map not run like ass on slower machines because most of the world is always going to be rendered. Oh and I also have to check for player stuck points since the visleaf rape is creating malformed portals that cause players to fall through the world (??).

Feels weird to have a diagonal wall atop a diagonal staircase with no door or window on it. The rest looks fantastic, that bit just bugs me.

[QUOTE=Hottea102;45174359]Feels weird to have a diagonal wall atop a diagonal staircase with no door or window on it. The rest looks fantastic, that bit just bugs me.[/QUOTE] don't worry, the wall is high enough that a player can walk through

[QUOTE=GiGaBiTe;45172971] And my failure attempt of making the animated sky in lavagiant: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHGCRD1wDW0[/media][/QUOTE] I'm not so sure about what the top of the skybox was like, but I remember the sides had like a scrolling cloud texture that would go towards the player, and it was textured on an inverted pyramid-like brush.

[QUOTE=Yanzl;45164374]Yeah, it looks fine if you have texture detail on high, but kinda bad if you have it on low/medium.
