I have this issue with my EP2 configuration, it claims gameinfo.txt has the incorrect file format.

Half-Life 2: Episode 2:
"GameInfo"
{
	game 		"HALF-LIFE 2"
	title 		"HALF-LIFE'"
	title2		"== episode two =="

	type		singleplayer_only

	FileSystem
	{
		SteamAppId				420		// This will mount all the GCFs we need (240=CS:S, 220=HL2).
		ToolsAppId				211		// Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\debug, materials\editor, etc.
		
		//
		// The code that loads this file automatically does a few things here:
		//
		// 1. For each "Game" search path, it adds a "GameBin" path, in <dir>\bin
		// 2. For each "Game" search path, it adds another "Game" path in front of it with _<langage> at the end.
		//    For example: c:\hl2\cstrike on a french machine would get a c:\hl2\cstrike_french path added to it.
		// 3. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "MOD".
		// 4. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "DEFAULT_WRITE_PATH".
		//

		//
		// Search paths are relative to the base directory, which is where hl2.exe is found.
		//
		// |gameinfo_path| points at the directory where gameinfo.txt is.
		// We always want to mount that directory relative to gameinfo.txt, so
		// people can mount stuff in c:\mymod, and the main game resources are in
		// someplace like c:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\half-life 2.
		//
		SearchPaths
		{
			Game				|gameinfo_path|.
			Game				ep2
			Game				episodic
			Game				hl2
		}
	}
}

I'd really want to get back to mapping, but this error message haunts me.

Getting the lighting to not look like shit, I'd say it's going good.

Progress on project by Stinger21 and myself (we are 'Leaktek'). In these screens we both contributed displacement and texture work, he worked on models and I made the screenspace effects as well as placing all the models and grass. All is WIP. River is incomplete, hence the glitch in the lower right of pic 2. Cargo crate is in there for size comparison. Running in Garry's Mod current build c:

We might be adding atmospheric effects and volumetrics if we have time at the end. Thoughts/crit?

[QUOTE=Giraffen93;41315623]still waiting for the sdk update..
now what's this?

Wait wait, what kind of shader is THAT? Looks like some ultimate hybrid thing that NASA would hide away in a bunker.

Do you think it could solve the incompatability between vertex world lighting and bumpmapping that's plagued us since the dawn of Source? That would be a freaking GODSEND.

it's got a grate texture on it because of the sdk failure

[Rush_Freak]

[QUOTE=Giraffen93;41320835]it's got a grate texture on it because of the sdk failure[/QUOTE]

Well, obviously the texture doesn't work currently. :V

But I'm talking about the shader in general; have you tried testing parameters in the .vmt or trying to hunt down some info that might be documented inside the 2013 engine build files?
I'll try to look into it myself if I can find time to install the 2013 SDK, because if this shader is going to be an actual thing, it has a TON of potential uses that haven't been possible before with models.

If we're lucky and it functions how I think it does, later down the road we could possibly get it implimented into GMod aswell since Garry runs it on his own engine branch.

[HighdefGE]

How are you guys even mapping anyway? Whenever I try to use hammer, the 2D and 3D viewports flicker between different angles so much that it's frustrating.

My only suggestion is a blend modulate texture for your stone path -> grass blend. It looks very nice though. Also, do the detail sprites move? (gmod supports that) like this.

Very, very nice. As someone suggested above, it would look fantastic with moving details. May I ask, how did you achieve that sun glare effect? Is it edited in, a script in GMod, or some sort of effect?

I don't think a solve for the incompatibility between vertex world lighting and bumpmapping would have a sequence labeled "sexyidle".You never know though.

As fortune has it, we won't be adding detail sprite sway. What I've shown you is a small, incomplete part of a much, much larger map with many other completed areas - We have it nice and optimised but even in a single area I doubt the engine could keep up, as sway is run on CPU.

@Johnny Guitar's pic from last page

Looks great, and the sky/ambience reminds me of Vice City/San Andreas for some reason (maybe because of the tons of russian conversions I've seen lately)...

I know this is dumb, but that map converted from somewhere/3dsmax, right? If it is, how did you do it?

I would try some sites like bandcamp and newgrounds, lots of artists out there who want to make music/sound effects/VO and are willing to do free stuff to help get their names out there.

interesting, It kind of remind me of Saw but more scary.
It would be fun to make a Saw themed map though.

Practising is always good :3

Here i worked a bit more on my Room concept.
I would like to know if you guys has something to comment about it.

Once again, No cubemap and not much effort on lighting

The walls look more like a shed then anything that would be in Aperture...

To build cubemaps in Portal 2, move your map over to the portal2_dlc2/maps folder. Valve changed what path buildcubemaps uses, probably because they were working from that folder during development.
