Are you Adam Foster?  If so, I just tried Something Else from the link on [[MINERVA]], and I have to say, very well done! --[[user:mungo|mungo]]

Hi. Are the command codes available for the Minerva Mod? I could not access the sv cheat command.
Do we have to go through the Source Engine to add things to the mod?
 
Thanks,

: MINERVA's just HL2 in disguise - there's no new code or anything like that. The console's most definitely available (I use it extensively in development!) but it sounds like you need to enable it. It's in something like Configuration, Keyboard, Advanced or similar.

== blarg! compiling! ==
 
This is a random question, out of curiosity, when you compiled metestasis 1, how long did vvis and vrad take, seperatly?
 
I ask this because I've recently been trying to convert Minerva to the mod Collaborate (You've already said you were waiting for someone to convert it to co-op, well, this mod is a bit different now but, well you've seen it.)
Anyway, as a little 'experiment', I decided to compile the map with vbsp and vvis only, just to see how long it would take, and it took... well.... 4 HOURS! surely something has gone wrong?? I had every thing turned on (hint brushes and so on) and wondering how on earth it could take this long? --[[User:Starbug|Starbug]]
 
:4 hours isn't really that out of the ordinary for a full-size map (especially when it's outdoors, giving vvis plenty of extra work to do). My biggest bsp at the moment takes just over 3 hours, fully optimised. --[[User:Giles|Giles]] 15:09, 9 Sep 2006 (PDT)
 
::(That's why the Cordon Tool exists. Don't leave home without it.) --[[User:Andreasen|Andreasen]] 15:14, 9 Sep 2006 (PDT)
Gosh.. I'm happy that compiling of code never takes more then 15min :P --[[User:Dutchmega|dutchmega]] 02:02, 10 Sep 2006 (PDT)
 
: The current, fully-HDR'ed Metastasis 1 takes about 2 hours 30 minutes for a full compile - albeit without <code>-final</code> lighting, and when run on a firebreathing dual-core MacBook Pro in the background when doing other stuff. It's the VVIS that takes the time - it's something about the massively interconnected outdoors nature that the compile tools don't like. Metastasis 2 is far, far faster for VVIS, but conversely takes a fair bit longer on VRAD. Lots of complicated shadows and higher-detail lightmaps? Maybe. But still, don't let the compile times put you off. For Half-Life, I used to have maps take 6 hours or more to compile on my PC of the time! &mdash;'''<font color="#10c010">Cargo Cult</font>''' <sub>([[User:Cargo Cult|info]], [[User talk:Cargo Cult|talk]])</sub> 14:09, 10 Sep 2006 (PDT)
 
It alo really depends on the amount of lighting and complex geometry in your map. Also don't forget that Hint brushes can durasticly change hte compile time. Currently City 17 the MOD im working on takes a while to compile the first map being about 10,462 units long (top to bottom in 2d view) and about 6,192 units wide (left to right) all of that filled up takes about 48 minutes with HDR. Ive just properly used Hint brushes the right way. Accuatly there is no right way just how they are placed is what counts and also area portals and how many you have hpwever i have no area portals/windows in my level at all but quite alot of Occluders.--[[User:MrTwoVideoCards|Gear]] 14:37, 22 Oct 2006 (PDT)
 
==Ep1 content==
Hey there Adamn. Well aparrently im getting no content working on my mod so far from the episodic side. Skys act funny and sounds like ep1 music dont work. Is there perhaps something else i have to do and will players need ep1 in order to play this mod? Ive already edited the gameinfo.txt yet nothing happens.
 
"GameInfo"
{
game "City 17|EP1"
title "City 17|EP1"
        title2  "EP:1"
 
type singleplayer_only
 
developer "GEAR"
developer_url "blank"
icon "city"
 
FileSystem
{
SteamAppId 380
ToolsAppId 211
SearchPaths
{
Game hl2
                        Game                            episodic
}
}
}
 
As well as stangly the Half Life 2 logo appears rather than the actual name of my mod. Just thought i ask you as your really the only one with episodic content along side me.--[[User:MrTwoVideoCards|Gear]] 05:28, 10 Jul 2007 (PDT)
 
==Shall the spamming ever end!?!==
 
Apparently not at this rate is there any way to truly stop them? I have a bit of a theory to the fact but thats mainly that one person may have multiple accounts using them to spam all over the VDC. When one gets banned he has another. Someone is behind it. Its a bit too much for just this week so far so there must be connections between most of it.--[[User:MrTwoVideoCards|Gear]] 17:36, 25 Jul 2007 (PDT)

Hey man, this is a shot in the dark, but would you happen to have the save somewhere on your computer of the different parts of the canal where you took screenshots for the dxlevel differences page? Planning on adding screenshots for dx11 but I want the images to remain similar. --Equalizer5118 (talk) 4:02, 7 Apr 2023
