hey.. decided to resurect an old map but I've lost my lights.rad file.. also the ns.hull file.

I'm rebuilding the lights.rad but I'm having trouble nailing the yellow/goldish light in this pic... (old screens from this map) can anyone take a guess what color it is, thats the only color I can't get down. thanks.

and if anyone can send me the ns.hull file I'd appreciate it

Generally I like it, but theres a couple things that bother me.

The first is the lighting, the placement of the lights is great but it just comes across as really bland. Perhaps some added colour to some of those lights (red or orange would look good in this case I think).

Also that pipe in the middle of the hallway Looks really out of place. The 2 90* turns it makes is probably the problem. Instead of having the middle section maybe you could put a piece of architecture in place (think like a covered junction of pipes or something).

**edit** just realized you didn't have the old rad file, keep working on those lights you'll figure it out soon enough <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

Haven't seen you in a while yoda. Looking good, about the nshulls.txt isn't it located in you ns folder? If not here are the values for the ns hulls anyway:

32 32 72
64 64 108
32 32 36

heh. yeah, I've been around.. real life got in the way so I stopped clanning and mapping. but I found bunch of old pics last nite and was like.. hmm, I'm out of work.. (hurt my back week and half ago at work). and I'm bored as hell sitting at home all the time, lets get back into mapping.

nah, I ran a search on my whole HD for the hull file. nope. thnx though.

the screen looks bland, it looks a lot better in game.

also have another question, wow its been a while... what wad is the clip and invisible textures in?

zhl.wad, comes with Cagey's tools

or

zhlt.wad, comes with the zhlt3.4 tools

if you still need your hull file, you just have to write
32 32 72
64 64 108
32 32 36
into an empty txt file and name it nshulls.hul

ssjyoda

thnx.. i couldn't remember where it was, i went through my .map file and loaded all the wad files that were in the map and i had missing textures. clip and invisible.. eh well. i'll find em now

ssjyoda

theres no invis texture in zhlt.wad....

Kouji_San

With invisible texture do you mean null?

I see the following textures in my zhlt.wad

B - bevel
H - hint
N - null
S - skip

ssjyoda

null is giving me the mirrors...
there used to be a texture labeled invis for like the edges of partial transparent textures like wires... or the texturelights.

Kouji_San

Hmm, weird null only gives me hom when it's on the outside of the map touching the void... It doesn't give me mirrors when used on faces inside the map...

Digging trough files:
I just had a look inside the original half-life.wad. Theres is a texture called {blue, but that only works on entitties set to solid. I don't see a texture called invis. But I'm pretty sure that null can be used on those faces too, as long as it doesn't touch the void you're safe

ssjyoda

alright.. i'll give it a try.. i know there was a texture somewhere called that cause when i opened my map back up after all these yrs.. there were faces with that text on it but it wasn't found in any wads. so im lookin for replacement.
