Cheers for this, it's fun!

Some things to do - break the wood, ragdoll in the water, ragdoll infront of the character (type kill in the console) that is made of water and make sure you can see the tv screen too, you will see your ragdoll on the screen!

 

[cenmocay]

bodies float on the water when dead, and when you look while totally underwater you cant see anything thats not in the water

Screenshots of that?

A screenshot of what he's talking about...

This is what he's on about, i lowered the image quality and seize for faster upload, but you can;t miss the big grey blob

This could be map specific, afterall, your not 'supposed' to go underwater in this map.

You just answered it, its not meant to be seen, in the Docks video the player falls in the water and looks up, its a flipped version of the top of the water, it refracts everything above.

By the way, make sure you enable Reflect All in the options, it keeps resetting but it looks alot nicer like that.

 

[ukfluke]

chill, this is only becuase ur not meant to go underwater. water works fine even in the leak version.

 

[Tork]

and here is the other one.

how the **** someone was able to modify a BSP file by adding player spawn points, even before this particualr SDK is out, i will never know, and never be able to thank them enough

 

[Shuzer]

lol, it's called hex editors Wraith I was messing about in it.. but didn't get very far

Playing test_speakers with 7 people was really fun.. lol

Thank iv81 from hl2land and hl2world for that.

 

[Conkorg]

holy friging **** thx dude awesome now we have a new map to play

 

[Gunner]

The VST map looks fun to play, I gotta try it

 

[lans]

I played the VST map - hella fun and nice looking too.

I was amazed that even in that VST test map the camera worked. My mate spotted me from those screens and killed me before I appeared with a grenade - pretty cool tactic. Who's for cs_cameraland?

 

[Murray_H]

There is another fun thing to do in the hardware test map, no clip to the top of the map (above the elevator)the land on the platform at the top, go back to normal mode and run and ragdoll of either of the shorter sides (bind kill to a key and press it). You'll hit beams and things on the way down.

But sometimes you get stuck, as if you were auditioning for mission impossible

do u need reflect all for the camera to work properly? because it didnt work for me

 

[P43.2/1Gig/X800P]

how do i get it to work

 

[DimitriPopov]

Guys I want you ALL to remember to click allowflashlight when you start your server kthnx.

 

[Murray_H]

Another thing to do with the map is to go to the place i mention above and do 'kill' on one of the long sides, you'll see that the ragdolls are affected by a long drop, as someone was mentioning that they seemed to be rigid in the air (after c4 explosions)

 

[Lobster]

You cant see yourself in the cameras cause when ur in first person view a model is not rendered in your place, if u entered third person or get a friend to do it, then u can see it properly, and make sure u all put r_waterforcereflectentities 1 in ur autoexec its pretty.

 

[Malarkee]

I found something funny, if you get your man so that his head has just entered a roof (using noclip and sv_cheats 1) then when you kill him his head will get stuck and the rest of him will hang

 

[DimitriPopov]

Whats the cmd for 3rd person now?

 

[Tork]

thirdperson is the command and firstperson to get back in firstperson mode.

 

[DimitriPopov]

Yeah , I figured it out on google. So simple I now feel retarded

Thanks though Tork for helping

 

[Baal]

It is?

I used cam_command 1 and it didn't work very well....maybe I'll give thirdperson and firstperson a try.

 

[Eternity]

Cool screenshots. Post more.

 

[Tork]

Actually i like the cam_ commands better since it has yaw and pitch, etc.

Try downloading WinRAR, .rar is a type of compression, like .zip. What you want is inside.

 

[jOOblaR]

i downloaded .RAR once, couldnt get it off my system. im not doin it again.. maybe .zip will work if i select Open With?
