i've been trying to fix this leak and i cannot [url]https://photos-1.dropbox.com/i/o/dOs-TTLDa8nkS92jt3lpk5CJJJDzXFK_yHAAAFCRx9k/25813495/1305428400/8d133c5[/url]
I made a little preview video of one of the sections of my map pack. Figured out how to use Wheatley's rail, and this is basically the escape section of the map. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFJMCCzxstU[/media] The bts areas are a little..bland. I'll fix that later.
prop_indicator_panel is showing up without the frame?
[QUOTE=Jessecar96;29802351]Does anyone even ready the wiki? Most questions everyone asks can be answered there.[/QUOTE] I still think it's silly that you don't put this stuff on the Valve wiki. That's what it's for.
Anyone know the fix to this? [img]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/559782500770619286/2A16B8DAE43499CE7B142438B87C94AE296CEFA8/[/img]
2 things. How do I make the sign at the start with the number of the chamber, and how do I make an autoportal?
[QUOTE=Conro101;29809295]2 things. How do I make the sign at the start with the number of the chamber, and how do I make an autoportal?[/QUOTE] For autoportals use prop_portal. Use "SetActivatedState" input to change it's status. 1 for open, 0 for closed.
[QUOTE=Conro101;29809295]2 things. How do I make the sign at the start with the number of the chamber, and how do I make an autoportal?[/QUOTE] Chamber signs aren't possible because of how Valve did it. You'll have to make a texture.

If not, I'm sure someone will. Either way, I enjoyed the video. The space sphere <3.

[QUOTE=Butthurter;29810714]can anyone help me? id love to know how to make a panel arm hold out a wall as a plane like this: [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/w8HIM.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] I'm not sure which one, but some arm models have an angled animation (about 45 degrees). Just find out which has them and follow the panels tutorial.

[editline]13th May 2011[/editline] Also, you can use one of the piston props and angle a brush against the end of it

So considering I had little to no experience in Hammer today, I actually accomplished quite a bit in my first test map of sorts. I think I might be ready to make a few easy, probably disgusting, test chambers tomorrow.

Nevermind, I fixed it!
goddamn it fucking hammer issue when i try to compile: "Can't decode command steamapps/[...]/portal!" I know it's just hammer as other people who had this issue had functional maps without leaks like mine.
WIP of a series of chambers I'm working on.

Wow, I'm using the same light settings I had in a previous test chamber I made on AS-SDK that looked rather dark and perfectly normal, so I copy-pasted them and adjusted them a bit into this chamber and... [img] http://filesmelt.com/dl/batshituglylighting.PNG[/img] The fuck? It's like eye gougingly bright and ugly. I know how to light a room properly and what the hell is this shit. Like I said, it looked fine before. I know other people were getting some light issues too ( and it's not fullbright either, you can tell ) so yeah. Weird. Ugly.

Ugly.[/QUOTE] Did the scale of the brightening textures under the light covers become altered? I would check if the scale of those textures are the same. I also noticed a lot of lighting differences switching from the AS-SDK to the P2-SDK, except mine went the opposite direction, making all my maps a lot darker.
