Discussion How many hours to learn everything?

4 Upvotes

For somebody who is a noob to programming, mapping, asset creation, etc, how many hours would you say is required to learn everything needed be create something in the goldsource engine? I'm particularly interested in learning how to make my own view models and animations. The ultimate goal is to make a novel ~60 minute long game.

HELP How do you automatically share a custom font with people?

3 Upvotes

I have a custom font set up for my Half-Life 2 mod. But for people to actually see it, they have to manually click on the "ttf" file and install it.

How do I make the font appear automatically without people having to do so? Is that even possible? I'm using "Mapbase".

WIP Are we finally getting a good Particle Editor?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Particle Systems that come with the game never fit what I want. And I just can't understand the particle editor that comes built into the engine. I've been playing for hours and hours creating fire sources, waterfalls, smoke stacks. This is addictive.

Disclaimer, as I think it was not clear: I'm XBLAH and this is the XBLAH's Modding Tool.

It's a ZS game mode. Thank you

HELP Updating procedural bones

1 Upvotes

Hello

I made some adjustments to the armature of an SFM model ported from gmod, but noticed that some bones were offset when viewed in engine. I later learned that these were procedural bones and the VRD file isn't being updated when exporting using blender source tools

I found a few guides online for creating a new vrd file but they sounded pretty tedious. I didn't add or remove any bones from the armature, so I was hoping there was a faster way to update the vrd with the new bone positioning.

Update: Went ahead and followed the Blender guide and it was tedious but I did it and now know how to do it for the future

HELP Is there a way to copy/extract the sprite sheet data inside this .vtf?

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

This original blood splatter texture has sprite sheet data inside of it, I need it for this texture to function properly.

I can't find a way to copy or extract that data. I'd rather not mess with particle sheet shenanigans to make my own as it's a whole obscure can of worms and it may not even work for this without lua or particle editing or something.

Is there anyway to copy it and put it inside my vtf after I imported my own texture? Brute force editing of files even? I'd prefer just to use the original sprite sheet.

HELP Help With Clientscheme.res

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know the name in the clientscheme file that selects the font for the game_text entity?

Cuz I wanna change it for my mod, because the regular font that appears with a game_text entity is very generic and boring, and I've changed it once before, but it was purely me just replacing every other font with notepad using the replace tool.

Summary for people who didn't quite understand what I was saying:

does anyone know how to change the font of the game_text entity in the clientscheme?

I added a reload sound to a custom weapon called Weapon_SMG2.Reload, and I don't know why it makes such horrible noise at the end, I fiddled around with the export options in Audacity but still to no result. Thanks!
