| '''Geogriffith:'''
| |
| Yeah, that sounds pretty good. This site is going to need a lot of cross referencing before it becomes useful. Oh, and [http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?ent=func_breakable Func_breakable] is what you're looking for, btw. This is the HL1 guide, but the entity has the same name in source.

| '''[[User:Super Foul Egg|Super Foul Egg]]:''' From a technical standpoint, I recommend locking this page and changing the link to a differently named page if it's going to be converted into something else. Community portal (along with [[Current events]] and [[Help]]) is one of the main pages that wikibots target when they're spamming, so this page has the potential to be more work than it's worth over long periods. [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] is the origin of nearly all hacks and misuses when it comes to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediawiki Mediawiki] framework, so the more things that deviate from their way of doing things, the better protected this wiki will be from incidental harm.
| |
|
| |
| (Well, assuming you discount the potential harm of a wiki let loose on the PC gaming community. Oh, ''god''.)
| |
|
| |
| ----
| |
| '''[[User:SavannahLion|SavannahLion]]:''' I disagree Super Foul Egg. Redirecting and renaming links is only a stopgap measure for spambots. Once the spambot maintainer realizes a specific page is innaccessable, a new page would simply be found and abused. What happens then? Another rename and a new link? Forget it. There's a blacklist patch available for MediaWiki that's specifically targeted to stop/resist spambots. Applying the blacklist along with a variation of an autoban system, means a Spambot only manages to hit one page at best and only once. With careful and judicious additions to the Blacklist, the bots paid for by those advertisers are never able to hit twice. Hiding the blacklist to only admin and moderators prevents spammers from finding what's been blacklisted. I've been happy with the results on my own Wiki, I see no reason something similar can't be applied here if it isn't already.

| == Help, My BSP ain't compiling! ==
| |
|
| |
| I have made a better-standard "BreakWall" map on '''Hammer''' (for those of you who don't know what BreakWall is, you have to break through breakable walls to get elsewhere (like that game - Red Faction)). I have gone through it, and for some reason, I press the compile button, then OK, the compile logger comes up, then at the bottom it said
| |
| "Copy File
| |
| Command C:/MAP DIRECTORIES/Nox13last_Breakwalls.bsp"
| |
|
| |
| But The BSP doesn't appear, and if the DONT RUN GAME IF CHECKED checkbox is unchecked, the game would load up, and simply take to the Main Menu.

| |
|
| |
| This probably is'nt the best page to ask it, but im trying to make a short single player campaign, and cant find anywhere how to set up the level progression. when i run the mod game, the console says something about 'maplist.txt' (which, i might add it informs me it cannot locate)
| |
|
| |
| basically when you press 'new game' i would like levels to show up instead of a blank menu
| |
|
| |
| if this really wasnt the place to ask, directing me to a better page will be just as apreciated :)

| |
| == Hammer Idea ==
| |
| Is it just me, or does having a tool in hammer to convert brushes into a model seem like a good idea? Considering how most objects in HL1 which were brush based (chairs, racks) are now models, it would help all those experienced HL1 mappers who don't have modelling skills.

| |
| : Are you referring to the link I posted [http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/09/17/1313249&from=rss Trigonometry Redefined without Sines And Cosines]. I put that link there because it is always good to know of alternative ways to do math/programming, and it may help spread the word about this new way of doing trig. --[[User:Createdbyx|Created by: X]] 10:00, 20 Sep 2005 (PDT)
| |
|
| |
| :Yes, it doesn't even link to an article, just debates and ads for the book. --[[User:Mark WiseCarver|wisemx]] 13:19, 20 Sep 2005 (PDT)
| |
|
| |
| :The link (and even the sample chapter) doesn't provide enough information to be useful to, say, a mapper messing with the vertex tool. All the link is accomplishing is advertising the book. On the other hand, a link to a website that teaches (very) basic trig might occasionally be useful to a few people. But rarely, I expect. —'''[[User:Maven|Maven]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Maven|talk]])</sup> 16:32, 20 Sep 2005 (PDT)

| == Mod pages ==
| |
|
| |
| Is there a VALVe policy or community consensus about how much and what kinds of information should be present on this wiki about mods? Certainly some sort of guidelines would be useful in disputes such as [[Talk:Territory Weapons|this one]]. I'm concerned that, without something to point to, this wiki will eventually become a free auxiliary website for ill-considered mods in the I-just-need-a-coder-and-a-modeler stage. —'''[[User:Maven|Maven]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Maven|talk]])</sup> 16:58, 3 Oct 2005 (PDT)
| |
|
| |
| :Can we at least agree on a policy of "no more than one page per mod"? —'''[[User:Maven|Maven]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Maven|talk]])</sup> 20:52, 5 Oct 2005 (PDT)
| |
|
| |
| :Nevermind. This subject seems to have already been settled at [[Category talk:HL2 Third Party Mods]]. —'''[[User:Maven|Maven]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Maven|talk]])</sup> 12:27, 20 Oct 2005 (PDT)
| |
|
| |
| == Admin noticeboard ==
| |
|
| |
| Is there a place for things (notices, requests, etc) that admins should read? I'm thinking specifically of something like Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]]. Maybe a [[Valve Developer Community:Administrators' noticeboard]]? (Nothing like that in [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=4 VDC namespace] so far.) —'''[[User:Maven|Maven]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Maven|talk]])</sup> 12:25, 20 Oct 2005 (PDT)

| :This about the [[:Category:Spammers|spammers]]?—'''[[User:Ts2do|ts2do]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Ts2do|talk]])</sup> 14:27, 20 Oct 2005 (PDT)

| |
|
| |
| Well, I don't think the admins jump in unless they have to, but it would be a good idea to have a page for notices to them. I say make it. And continue with the very wiki friendly approach of majority votes and reasoned consensus on problems and issues. It's working so far. --[[User:Spektre1|Spektre1]] 17:34, 20 Oct 2005 (PDT)
| |
|
| |
| It would also be a handy place to list locked pages that need changes (links to their Talk pages only, rather than cluttering up the noticeboard with the actual changes). Eg, [[Talk:Building MODs with Valve Technology]]. —'''[[User:Maven|Maven]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Maven|talk]])</sup> 11:30, 21 Oct 2005 (PDT)

The text at the top of it suggests it's an alternative entry page to the Wiki (different from [[SDK Docs]]), but then the rest of the page functions as an exit page, encouraging you to leave the Wiki. Does anyone actually find this huge, tangled list of links useful, or is it time to break the page apart and give it some more structure and focus? --[[User:Giles|Giles]] 06:26, 15 Jun 2006 (PDT)

| So i find my self thinking well at the end of that day thats pritty naf if it cant move so i startet trying to make it move but i can see no way in making this move i mean move in that way like in opposing force where you get on that morter and aim the thing around and blow stuff up. Im Pritty sure there is no easy solution to this can any one shed som light on my situation i would be very grateful thanks.

| This was an idea on the VERC forums recently about having a code archive, or snippet library. Considering the Wiki probably isn't really designed for that (at least, its not as customizable as other things), do people think having a snippets system (http://www.wraiyth.com/snippets) would be good, or just create a Code Snippets category and work on a bit of organisation here, even for very simple code?

| Hi, I'm an old/new hammer editor user, i created some maps for practice a couple years ago and then got busy. I just loaded it up again today and SDK won't give me the option to use the counter strike settings for the game content. I went in and set it up manually with the intructions on the site, but it freezes anytime I try to start working in the editor, does anyone know of a fix for this? Or am I out of luck until the next update. Oh, and when i was using the editor before I didn't have the orange box. I recently loaded that on and I think that's where it's pulling it's content from.

| Hey,

| I've been working on a few CTF maps for TF2, and I'm having one unusual problem. Maybe someone can help me.
| |
| I've set up an "intel" briefcase that, when picked up, triggers four closing doors and some moving water.

|
| |
| I'm attempting to configure it so when the intel is dropped, everything returns to it's previous position.
| |
|

| The outputs are set up the same way for both the water and the doors, but the water is the only thing that resets and retriggers upon drop/pickup of the intel. The doors shut as configured, but do not reopen. Any ideas?
