Talk:HL2:Awakening

Problems/ questions that I want fixed/ answered before beta testing - feel free to set me straight

(all after the august 2006 sdk update)

• Q: Whats the deal with Sourcesdk base?

Do I need to copy the dll's to my mod?

Do I need to inform the players to download it or does it install on its own when trying custom mods?

• Q: Is the commentary stuff working for mods too? can't find the entity.

• Bug: env_tonemap controller is not recognized

• Bug: Buggy has no weapon

• Bug: func_door_rotating acts as func_rotating since august sdk update

Found out this weird behavior happens when a parented prop(dynamic)its origin is to far from the door's origin.

• Bug: func_breakable_surf are mutch darker as they were before (especially when broken)

• Bug: The game crashes alot after the Valve logo - sometimes up to 3 times in a row before the game actually loads.

No error report just a sound and back in desktop.

• Bug: Can't get dod:s type of detailsprites to work, is its code not included in sourcesdk base?

I added Sprite Shape, shape_angle, shape_size and sway parameters to my existing vbsp but none get added.

Removing the parameters gave me the old 2d sprites again.

Anything wrong with this?

			Model1
			{
				"sprite_shape"	"tri"
				"sprite" "288 0 128 128 512" 
				"spritesize" "0.5 0.0 25 33"
				"spriterandomscale" "0.2"
				"amount" "0.3"
				"detailOrientation" "0"
				"shape_angle"	"10"
				"shape_size"	"0.03"
				"sway"	"0.5"
			}

--> Fix: Reflective materials need tuned down envmaptints in HDR, see EP1 materials/metals for examples.
