IchI, you are a Hammer god. Now, do one on setting up a mounted machine gun like those in the game that you can use. No one I've talked to knows how, and we all want to know.

Nice work, and nice accent (sp?) by the way. I stuck with me stupid swedish... =(

Äh, klaga inte på svenskan! Även fast Engelska är så mycket bättre men vad fan!

For you that didnt understand the above, here´s a quick translation:
Dont complain about the swedish languege(sp?). Even though english is so much better, but what the heck.

 

[Demaratus]

Swedish is awesome (my family is originally from Gotland, a small island off the coast of mainland Sweden).

Anyway, for rope bridges, would it be possible to link a lot of small planks together, to get the classic rope bridge look? I bet it would be, but I'm just wondering before I put a lot of work into it.

Ok, svenska är väl ok. Men engelska med irländsk brytning är det bästa som finns!

Translation:
Ok, swedish is alright. But english with irish accent is the best thing ever!

 

[Billtcm]

Very nice tutorial, can't wait for the next one

 

[qckbeam]

IchI, your voice is so sexy

Really nice job, very cool tutorial

 

[OJS]

Are these tutorials kind of screwy for any one else? i've not heard a complaint so i'll try updating/reinstalling quicktime, the first basic map tutorial crashed a few times for me but once again, i think it's just me great tutorials btw

 

[Z|insane]

Think you might need quicktime 6.0... Try updating that.

 

[DaFreak]

man i d pay for these tutorials
They realy do help alot
thx man
The ones with the doors was the best one ever!!!1111 You rocks

 

[Bling]

wow, thats awesome man, help me a lot.

much thanks <3

how would i go about doing something like this, but instead of the bridge flat brush a, say tree trunk, or spear brush thats held up, and triggered.

like a boobie trap

and yes, i just said boobie

 

[Asuka]

nice ill check it out.

 

[IchI]

bump...

It would really help if I could get a stick, I will talk with an admin later on about it. Then we can just stick all video tutorials into one thread, rather than all over the place.

 

[addy]

good idea, gogo admins sticky this!!!!. these tutorials own good work.

 

[>>NoTarget<<]

Nice video.

But how do you lunch hl2 that fast and it is minimize?

 

[OJS]

maybe because it's in window mode
speculation though i'm not certain

 

[>>NoTarget<<]

Yes, i found that out
But i cant minimize hl2..

 

[KoreBolteR]

ichi you got any tut videos that can playon windows media player .
i havnt got quicktime

 

[HolySdrJR]

Ok, tried this (going to make a video tut on pulley systems - aka the cars in Ravenholm) but my phys_lengthconstraint doesn't have a flipping origin! ::sigh:: What's going on?

 

[BigDaz]

You should be able to run HL2 and Hammer simultaneously and then alt-tab to switch between them.

 

[OJS]

Korebolter, try Quicktime alternative(google it) if its a problem with Quicktime you have, it's a smaller and easier way to play quicktime movies i think

I'm converting the tuts to avi at the moment because my quicktime is f-ed up but i doubt i'll be allowed to/have anywhere to host the file. Don't even know if it'll work well yet either

 

[Bastion]

Hell give the guy his own forumsssss!! Thanks a ton for the vids man it helps more then you know.

LOL, I wouldn't complain I asked Munro (Leader dude of hl2.net) about giving me small moderator rights to my own threads but he said no

All I wanted to do was get 1 sticky thread and put all the video tutorial in it. Then just edit it myself when I release a new video tutorial. I could do it but it would involve me contacting people and running after admins every 2 seconds just to get my thread updated and tbh, i really can't be assed. I will do it on hl2 world, they will let me

Make sure the Toggle Helpers button is checked. Far right button on the map operations bar.

Make sure the Toggle Helpers button is checked. Far right button on the map operations bar.

does that just turn on and of the orgin for some entities ? as well as doors etc..?

 

[blinking halo]

hi ichi, i used your tutorial to try and make the swinging bar trap from the e3 2003 traptown movie, but failed.
please could u (and anyone who might know the answer/my mistake) have a look at this thread:
http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=60786
thx
ps great tut

 

[pieman]

Its used as a visual aid in most cases. Although it can be used to change properties of some entities. Mine was turned off by default, thats why i was so stumped about moving the origin arounds.
