Dude, you're a lifesaver. big thanks!

Yeah so these are independent of TrenchBroom, it's the same procedure in either map editor: Skybox: select a brush that isn't an entity, go to the Entity tab and change the "skyname" property. For example, typing in "city" will look for gfx/env/cityft.bmp, citybk.bmp and others. Fences: if you use a texture whose name starts with an open curly brace, it is transparent. You must convert the brush into an entity (func_wall) and it needs to have "rendermode" set to Solid, and "renderamt" set to 255. Transparent surfaces: same as above, just use the Texture rendermode and a renderamt somewhere in the middle, like 128. If it doesn't look transparent in-editor, it will still be correct in-game if you have the right entity properties.

@@Admer456 thank you very much for your help, i have one last question i forgot to mention, how do decals work exactly?

@@Admer456 also how do i do level transitions? i'm making my own mappack inspired by the hl2 beta.

@@theprogrammer8200 It should be possible, so long as your working directory is correct

What's the problem exactly? hl_cdll and hldll are the projects, while Debug and Release are the configurations

​@@Admer456 i dont have the game file like the monsters and all .. or i cant find it

@@dokkan4892 I really don't understand. Can you add me on Discord or Steam so you can send screenshots?

@@FSK257 Did you compile both DLLs? hl.dll and client.dll synchronise things between each other, especially HUD events and weapons

@@Admer456 i didnt, thanks bro lol

There can be many reasons: * you are not launching the mod itself * there might be compile errors, check the output log * maybe the DLL files aren't copied to the right place (client.dll goes into cl_dlls, and hl.dll goes into dlls)

@@Admer456Nope everything seems fine with that

@@elt1ma794 Have you enabled "developer 1" in the console? You need it to see ALERT() messages

@@cazadorcazado08 Thank you! A while ago I posted a poll and people voted for a new programming video. I started editing that one recently, so I'm hoping to have it released by the end of this month After that I'll make another programming video to finish the weapons chapter, and then I'll continue the mapping series a little more

@@Vendicator I'm super happy this was useful to ya. Happy mapping!

@@Admer456 I hope you continue to do more tutorials such as this one, they are really helpful, also if I may ask you something, how would one add brush entities such as func_detail to trenchbroom? They are really, really essential and the base hl fgd doesn't have em' of course.

Nvm, figured it out by myself, got zhlt, sorry for the yt ping or whatever its called. Again, hope you have a great day!

@@Vendicator Should be more or less explained in TWHL's TrenchBroom guide: twhl.info/wiki/page/Tutorial%3A_Setting_up_TrenchBroom_for_GoldSource_games#FGD_files zhlt.fgd comes with VHLT, and you may create a combined FGD that includes zhlt.fgd and halflife.fgd basically.

No big deal, you just do it again

@@vhetutor I'm sorry, I forgor x.x

@@Admer456 to be fair i haven't been super active over the years, but ive been here since 2008

@@vhetutor I'll make up for it in the next mapping video, gonna link your stuff in the description here too. I feel that's fair

@@Admer456 i appreciate it :D sometimes i feel like i fly under the radar a lot with all these other tutorial channels popping up, despite probably being the oldest channel 😂 everyone else is really good though so im happy for them

@@dxii_real Character development arc :0 But for real, I'm glad you found something that motivates you and works well for ya, and that you're learning how other games work too. It doesn't have to be Half-Life, some of the ideas and concepts I show are more or less universal

It's Windows Terminal with the oh-my-posh extension to show the Git repository and such

@@Admer456 thanks

Mhm I saw :o It's super cool of them

The engine doesn't have a proper customisable particle system, so your best option is env_shooter. It can spew sprites that bounce around, typically used for water droplets and similar things.

@@Admer456 Thanks man!

@@Admer456 for more clearly, what entity u used here to make that 3d fire particle 0:56 and that fire is a sprite or beam or what, please tell me from where did u get those particles

@@scottbanana7065 This can be achieved with env_shooter, and you can find sprites in Half-Life's "sprites" folder (steamapps/common/Half-Life/valve/sprites)

@@Captured.-fr3mu I am impressed and lowkey terrified

A million likes to you sir

You're welcome! Also don't worry, the first obstacles tend to be the hardest

@@TheWarriorX454 That would be an Arctic fox

@@Admer456 oh ok

@@arrowspawn2ndchannel It's okay, I failed DSA 2 times and along with 8 other failed subjects, I have basically given up on college It is meant to be intimidating, by the way. I'm just showing the reality of what you need to know, so you can have a fairly smooth ride in HL SDK. But you'll be fine. Read and study the code, so you can know what does what, so you can know what to edit once you have a particular feature in mind Also you can just ask me for explanations, that's partly what I'm here for lol

@@warrior.png495 What?

@@Admer456 *pass to source

​@@Admer456when you pass to source

You mean, when will I move on to Source? There's no need, there are already so many Source tutorials out there, it's GoldSRC that needs them.

@@Admer456 lol 😆

@@KardiOff No plans for Source tutorials at the moment

@@Admer456 but that was be realy cool beacose now idk how to do it on TH-cam is no more normal vidio how to create mod on source engine and how to make from 2006 to 2013 base , beacose i dont found the one important file for 2013 and on this moment i don't know how to do it ☹️

@@KardiOff Yes, I've worked on Source mods before. No, I don't have plans for that

@@starlight_garden I made this as a sort of joke, to make fun of the HL alpha/cut content community. In 2022 I saw a lot of people memeing about the realtime moss, and I thought it'd be funny if it was made for real (still gotta actually fix this up for the 25th anniversary and finish the project) I personally believe Gabe was trynna get some more attention to the game with that detail, and later it became a running gag.. the origin story of Judith Mossman

@@Admer456 That's a reasonable theory too. I don't know what I thought the purpose of this mod and video was, so much weird stuff on the internet, but I enjoyed it!

I always thougt Mossman was a bad name. Makes sense now.

@@starlight_garden Yee, glad you liked it!

@@gearsgamer7115 I could, but aren't there plenty Source mapping videos out there? I don't really feel it's necessary

@@KSBN-CCB I wouldn't recommend it. Especially for HL programming. It spits out code that LOOKS like it fits the Half-Life SDK, but it's mostly just hallucinating. I wouldn't trust it to understand the essence needed to properly explain its code snippets either It's much better to just focus on learning C++ and reading Quake code, HL SDK code etc. to gain an understanding of what it does and talk to people about it

@@Admer456 Im making my own game based off hl2 and it's gonna be totally unique, I don't have time to learn c++

If you're only looking to get the end result - without any interest in learning the craft - you are absolutely setting yourself up for long-term failure. But in either case I wish you luck

There is already code for Deathmatch Classic, you can find it on GitHub. I will probably not make a tutorial about that specifically.

@@Admer456 yeah u found it but in filecopy i dont Found mod directory

@@Admer456 can you tell den what i must make because idk

Well, Half-Life already has a deathmatch mode. The rest should just be imitating all of the DMC weapons (I have a chapter on weapon programming), and replacing the Half-Life models with DMC models.

@@Admer456 nah bro i talk not about dmc i mean i want to ask the deathmatch mode in half life when you make a mod its already works ?

There are already pain & death sounds. In player.cpp, in CBasePlayer::Pain, it randomly plays "player/pl_pain5.wav" to "player/pl_pain7.wav". All you need to do is change those sounds, while keeping the same name. Sorry for the late answer!

but the pain sounds only sound when the player is torn to pieces, I mean if there is a possibility of those sounds sounding when being shot or fractured

Hmm. I'm thinking. If you don't wanna write custom code, you can get away with modifying sentences.txt. You'd be replacing the HEV suit line with a simple pain sound in that case. Otherwise, look at the CBasePlayer::TakeDamage function. You will see that it plays sentences "!HEV_DMG0" to "!HEV_DMG6" depending on the type of damage. You can simply add a call to Pain() in there.

@@Admer456 ok thanks...

@@i_0339 One day

@@NotGavinV That sounds like a custom campaign/map pack, but we'll see. I'll def. have a video on level transitions, cuz' those are a bit tricky
