those simple questions thread...

Piece of advice, Bleakside. Use the clip tool. If you set your clipping points and then click the tool again, you'll see the side of the BSP that's being clipped switch or set to 'split'.

It took me far too long to work that out.

Oh, and never use carve again. Seriously.

awesome! thanks a lot joe! i will check those out probably tomorrow when i have more time and trust me i am super glad someone on reddit guided me to this site and i will be asking many more questions to make sure i am on the right track!

i already found the dev community and pretty much love it but i dont always know what i need to be looking up in it lol.

is there a post about tutorials beginners should watch or things they should know when getting started like not to use the carve tool and things like that i couldnt find one when i tried searching for it?

This has everything you need.

So Hollow showed me the ASW SDK base available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq3b-bSdd1k.

I was wondering if it's possible to get most of the HL2 code (weapons, NPCs etc) ported over to it - and if anybody's interested in doing it?

[Armageddon]

While I am not a coder I have talked to many coders about it, and they mostly tell me that weapons are not too hard for an experienced coder, but porting over the AI is a huge task. Unless you plan to go total conversion I'd suggest sticking with the HL2 engine.

Give it a little bit. Myself and a friend are porting hl2.

That would be super-mega awesome if you gave it to the community.

A guy named aluminum ken has already got most of it ported. I'm working with him.

[Gary]

We are going to merge.

You oughta ^^.

I recently tried porting the map i've been working on from css to csgo. But the cascade lights aren't working properly and the shadow just looks wierd.


NOTE: I have a env_cascade_light in the map. Please help.

[Gary]

Last I checked you are not supposed to use env_cascade_light in your map. It's done automatically based on your light_env settings.

CSGO really needs some documentation lol

Anyone know how to get blend textures working again? I moved all my custom assets over to CSGO so I could use them in the SDK but my blend textures appear to be non-functional. I'm guessing they use a newer shader type for them or something.

[Dives]

This is one of the blend textures from the beta.

Code: Select all

WorldVertexTransition
{
$basetexture "ground/snow01"
$basetexture2 "concrete/blacktop_ext_01"

$envmapmask "ground\snow01_envmask"
$surfaceprop snow
$surfaceprop2 concrete
$blendmodulatetexture "ground/office_snow_blacktop_blendmod"
}


It looks ordinary.
