<div class="IPBDescription">damn SAT's interupting my MAPPING!</div> Okay i'd like to have some of that electricity goin around my generator like on ns_elipse, ns_hera (in maintinance) ect. NO IDEA how. Potential walkthrough?

Also in VHE is 128x128 like BIG in game? Textures are 256x256 for halls and i thought an onos was 128 high. Or was that wide?

On a side note SOMEONE has a beta map out using a room that is MINE. MY cool unique idea that i told a few people about. Meany head!

1. I would suggest not using it because the electricity thin is seriously overused. Also there used to be a tutorial at <a href='http://ns.valve-erc.com/' target='_blank'>ns.valve-erc.com</a> but is no more. If I recall correctly you just make a func_conveyor set to additive infront of the background.

2. 128x128 isn't too big, 512x512 is big. The reaseon almost all textures are 256x256 because that is the biggest size half-life can handle, so you need big textures to get specific details. 256x256 is also a pretty good size for hallways, when was the last time you saw a halway that an onos can just get through.
As for the sizes:
Skulk, lerk, gorge, crouched marine, crouched fade: 32 32 36
Marine, fade, (crouched onos): 32 32 72
Onos: 64 64 108

But these are just the clipbox sizes a real onos is bigger.

3. Who, and what map? Two people can have the same idea.

thank you very much for the first part. As for the last thats more of me griping cause I dont know who makes the map, but that is an idea i've been telling people on the mapping forums that PM/E-Mail me and some friends that idle on #RgB on mIRC.

The map I saw it on was "ns_andromeda_beta3" or soemthing like that (found at punkassfraggers.com). It has a tree, a creek/water way with a vent in it and a bridge going over it and a bench. Just like i told those people.

Its a fairly basic version of the room I have been planning, and started on 6 days before I saw the map, but it is essentially the same. My only problem with it is with many maps there is one cool feature/room on it that people can easily identify and I was hoping my Atrium room to be that for my map, but I guess it might not be anymore unless I make it 100 times better and even then people might think I stole the idea.
