Mapping Tutorials / Making Overheal Brushes

« on: September 06, 2013, 09:58:39 PM »

This is the shortened version:

1. Create a brush with the trigger texture, select the brush and hit Ctrl-T to tie it to an entity

2. Make the brush a trigger_multiple

8. Open up the properties window of the trigger_multiple, make the output "OnStartTouch", target "!activator", it will "AddOutput" to a parameter override of "health x", where x represents the players health that the relay will set it to.

<3

For jumps that require more than 200hp to do (quints, water triples, etc), there's a "new" way (I found it by googling) to give health mapside so changing loadouts/!superman is not needed.

1. Create a brush with the trigger texture, select the brush and hit Ctrl-T to tie it to an entity
2. Make the brush a trigger_multiple
3. Select the entity tool (Shift-E), make an entity and make it a logic_relay
4. Name the logic_relay whatever you want
5. Go back to the object properties window of the trigger_multiple, and go into the Outputs tab
6. Make an output "OnStartTouch", target the logic_relay and make it trigger the relay, set the delay to 0.1
7. Make another output, "OnStartTouch", target the relay again, and now set the "Via this input" to CancelPending, the delay will be the default 0.00.
8. Open up the properties window of the logic_relay, make the output "OnTrigger", target "!activator", it will "AddOutput" to a parameter override of "health x", where x represents the players health that the relay will set it to.

So yeah, when a player (the !activator) touches the trigger_multiple, it's trigger the logic_relay to give you health, pretty much.

:edited to include the cancelpending that i forgot:
I personally don't even know if the CancelPending will be beneficial in any way, but if you don't want to use it then the relay isn't needed I guess.

New Maps / jump_torii_v3

« on: June 22, 2013, 12:59:21 AM »

So I decided to remake this map, because I thought it looked like ass and the cap point didnt work.

Mostly it's just distances and aesthetics changes, the jumps are mostly the same.

I met with some crashing problems which should be fixed, so hopefully they are.

edit (v3): overlays got fucked, so here's v3.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/islspsge7a5drtr/jump_torii_v3.zip

torii_v3
- fixed the number overlays
- added numbers to bonuses
- added lighting to certain areas

torii_v2
- remade jump1
- ending plat for jump2 is slightly higher
- jump3 is wider
- distance for jump7's first sync is longer, and the second sync is shorter
- distance needed for jump12 significantly increased
- fixed main cap point
- fixed teleport on bonus2

Mapping Tutorials / Leaks and Fullbright

« on: June 13, 2013, 09:53:53 PM »

I've been making a map, and for some reason, the map appears fullbright when there are no leaks (no pointfile generated), but when there are, the lighting appears as per normal.

"mat_fullbright 0" doesn't work
I checked all my lights, I don't see anything wrong with them
I've tried setting vis/rad to normal instead of fast, and using HDR

The compile log doesn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary...

Jump Help / 7 Rocket Syncs

« on: June 12, 2013, 10:18:43 AM »

I've been testing a 7 rocket sync (done in the usual quint-syncing style) that I made in Hammer, but it seems to me that I can't go any higher than what I would get with a quint, I figured it might be a velocity cap, but then again, a quint compared to a 7-rocket sync on a ramp gets a lot less distance and height.

Am I just jumping terribly or is there some source engine physics shit going on?

General Discussion / Remove Intel Pointer from POV Demos

« on: February 09, 2013, 04:25:25 AM »

After looking at a bunch of HUD guides, I've managed to find a way to remove the intel pointer and keep the red hitmarkers for POV demos on maps that offer intel. It SHOULD work regardless of whether it's a neutral, red or blue intel, I've tested it on demos recorded on foundation_a2 and nbn_b4b.



Just drag this file into /tf/resource/ui/
(For people with the Default HUD, you have to create the folders yourself)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/uvy3mpembvt0vxt/HudObjectiveFlagPanel.res

For those using Lawena to record
Go into the Lawena folder, put the file into "hud/*custom . full . killnotices . medic*/resource/ui"
When you start up TF2, it should remove it too.

* - Depends on which setup you use with lawena, you can put it into all of them.

yea

Jump Help / BAQu_a2 Jump 4-3

« on: November 29, 2012, 09:26:50 AM »

I've actually already completed the map, but this was one jump that I felt confident in doing but took much longer than I thought.

The jump at 5:10

ßOl	Small | Large

Is there any way to get consistent at that? I find it's just complete dumb luck whether the rockets magically stop my fall instead of eventually contributing to the drop. Does it matter if I walk off the edge or fall off while crouching, etc.
