Ok... Not quite sure how the choreograph works. When I select a VCD it says no sounds in it. Also, it looks like there is one VCD for each thing the turret says. With that in mind, it looks like I'll need a big stack of choreographs or ambients for each turret. I've already found over a dozen things the turret could say at random OnDeploy.

Any chance I could maybe write some kind of script that will play a random voice line for the specified action? Or RunScriptCode from a logic_case?

Hello.
I'm looking to do something different in my levels. I would like to implement a turret with the dysfunctional skin, dysfunctional voices, but actually aim and shoot live ammo. Is this possible?

Thank you. So SDK 2007 is the "propper" way to use propper. Except I can't seem to get that going. Although there is a section for SDK 2009 which I can load. And thanks again for compiling the MDL. :)

Hello.
Been trying to create a custom model with little success. In my map I'd like to have small clips holding together the panels, but making these out of brushes straight off wasn't an option because of the brush(side) limit. I then figured I could make them into models. Also, I believe there is an entity limit so I thought I'd group these 5-6 clips together as one model.

Now, I've made these clips in Hammer in order to get the right size and position, and then tried various methods to turn them into models. I did a DXF export except the UVs didn't follow and quite a few programs couldn't open the file. I tried to use propper but the setup was too confusing and I couldn't get it too work no matter what I tried. I used Crafty on the VMF but even there the UVs (and textures) didn't follow. In the end I decided to just retexture the objects in the 3D program.

I have Maya 6, but the "Source Tools" didn't seem to be compatible with that version. I have 3DS Max 6, but for strange reasons the registration form is totally blank (something about IE incompatibilities). All that was left was Blender, and sort of worked to retexture the pieces. However, there were export problems...

On one set I grouped them and centered the group, hit export, and got an SMD file. Created a small QC file (using the example in the dev wiki), and used studiomdl on it. Got a few warnings, but all seemed ok. When I opened the MDL in Hammer's model viewer, it was only one piece and caulked (texture missing).

On another set I grouped and centered, and tried to export and got errors. This is just very frustrating and I'm wondering if anyone here is willing to do the conversion for me?

It is to be 4 different models. I have grouped them so you know where the separation goes.

Wel, just replaced the env_laser with an env_beam, added a start info_target (which wasn't needed with the env_laser), and that isn't being blocked either, no matter the clipping option...

Yeah, just seems a bit off that you'd expect any light to at least be refracted in those cubes and it doesn't.

Hi.
After some discussions with others about the theory behind how my levels are build, I decided to replace the antlions with combines.... Oh, no wait, I mean antLINES with laser pointers. ;p

It all looks good, except for one small detail... I can't seem to block the laser beam. I walk in front of it and the beam goes right through me. I place a redirection cube, it continues in a straight line.

Is there any way to make this laser beam react the same way as an env_portal_laser, without the need of the original emitter, damage or color?

Well, here are my votes:

1: Der HammerMeister
2: IVO
3: quaternary

stormsend was also good, but not as much as quaternary.
Though, one complaint about IVO. As he said, there was a bug with saves and gel on the bridges, but also when the save reloaded and I was about to jump to the tractor beam area, the portals reset themselves and I fell into the drink. But it was still good, and a unique ending.

Hi.
Been thinking of a few new designs for my Portal 2 maps, but I'm having some problems with proportions. According to the Valve Developer Wiki, 16 units = 1 foot. But when looking at a 16x16 antline dot, it doesn't look like it's a foot big.

I took a look at the player model, translated the measurements, and it looks like the player is about 1 and a half heads shorter than me. So I am wondering a bit, how big is a Portal 2 unit?

Ok. So all I need now is to make friends with the whole group. Shame I can't add groups as contributors and/or friends.
I've changed the Visibility to Friends, so anyone who is interested can friend me.
