it was fixed here tho??

You're not suffering from the same issue, their material was broken somehow while yours is working as expected. If you want to add detail to the black parts of your diffuse, you have to paint it

No env maps or normal maps on low. If your diffuse is black, that is what you will get.

As a Roadhog hater, I can't wait !

He's not a tank though, there's nothing in his kit that makes him a tank. The label in game doesn't change that IMO. Roadhog will be nothing but a self-healing ultimate battery for the opposing team, so we won't see him until the next tweak. At least that is my take as someone who plays a lot of RH.

-200 armor +200 health is big. Soldier melts her. RIP.

I've been thinking about picking up one Dark Souls game. I'm wondering which one you guys would recommend? For a newcomer that is. I imagine later entries have lots of quality of life improvements but who knows if one of the earlier ones is just better in different ways?

There are definitely different strengths to each entry in the series. The first one rules supreme in terms of level and character design. If you don't mind the dated visuals I would start out with 1. It will also give you a lot of backstory (as long as you're looking for it). Second best I would say is 3, as the level design is pretty solid and the gameplay has been refined. If you're playing 1 and don't have a controller, you need DSFix for M+KB to work.

Either way, I love the entire series. They remind me of the great games of the 90's, in that they let your imagination fill in the blanks. There are no maps. No UI/quest log telling you were to go. Plenty of obscure secrets that you might never figure out on your own.

Still though my question is in relation to the cases where you have a successful pull and a buckshot from the face can partially miss.

Yep it feels good when it reels. Puts those slippery supports right in the center. I admit Hook 1.0 is a bit too strong, but the constant LoS check are tough to work with. I'll probably go back to Zarya for my tank flex as she will be a more reliable damage output.

I look forward to playing Soldier though with the nerfs to RH and Dva.

Hook 2.0 feels so bad man. People hiding behind lamp posts and shit, and I can't get to them without overextending. It's going to get worse as more people catch on.

And you can't even hook people on high ground from low ground?!?

You should probably just try to play Valve DM to see if the error persists, before going into MM again

Sorry to post it here, I was working all day on those models and now I started a Matchmaking game and after about 6 rounds, the game disconects me and I get a VAC error Oo Something is blocking VAC on my computer ... It redirects me on this page :https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2117-ILZV-2837 They tell me to remove all custom textures and skins .... I have been changing the mdl and vtf files all day and I'm on windows 8 (the worst one) Did you guys had anything similar? I'm affraid I don't want to lose my account, I just make maps and models, I don't even play the game that much...

That's a common issue and has nothing to do with your custom content, unless they are directly modifying the official game files. You won't lose your account, it has happened to pros, at lans. The underlying issue can be one of very many, so it's hard to troubleshoot. When I had the error it was due to my antivirus not liking VAC.

CS is still great and everything, but I have a toddler and another baby on the way, so there's basically no time for me to sit down and play a competitive match when they could last an entire hour. Operations are a fresh, casual way of enjoying the game for people in my situation. I haven't touched CS for other reasons than mapping during the past six months.

Well, almost, the func_brushes block a lot of damage in the video. The effect diminishes with a thinner brush, though that would be the same as the 0.1 unit func_detail nodraw. Either way works as long as it's thin as hell.

Is this what you are trying to achieve? @grapen

No idea, video is unavailable

Blocks bullets, let's flashbang effect through:

I think I've tried it before, but I'll have to do it again.

28 minutes ago, Lizard said: I did a small test and a func_brush with "Don't Render" Render mode blocks flashes completely. Grenade and the effect.

I'm not able to make it work, I copied the settings in your screenshot and tried 'toggle', 'never solid', 'always solid' inputs in the Solidity setting. Is there anything else I'm missing?

Yep, it's pretty much concluded at this point that there has to be bullet collision for the blinding effect to be blocked.

Best and only solution is a 0.1 unit thick func_detail nodraw brush. It blocks bullets but let's all the damage through.

Forgot to add:

Your palette is leaning heavily towards cartoony as of right now, with lots of yellow and orange in there:

Fair point! Had not considered a fence like that. My issue is likely unique to foliage. The 0.1 unit nodraw is good enough, though a bit finicky to work with when adding many of them. A tooltex would be cool but unlikely to ever happen.

EDIT: I just finished compiling, the 0.1 unit nodraw was culled by hammer (warning came when I reopened the map) and didn't work when rotated 45 degrees. Will need to do some more testing. Definitely finicky

Looks like a fun project! There's always the risk of players easily getting lost in a homogeneous environement like that, so that's a tough nut to crack. The less corridors the better I always say, especially true in this case, it needs (imo) a few really distinct medium to large areas. Perhaps something to do with oil pumps/pipes/refinery? I'm thinking 'There Will Be Blood'.

Its purpose is to bounce grenades physics, unlike clip that only blocks players and the bomb, so it's working as intended. Though I'd consider it reasonable if it blocked flashbangs as well considering how niché it is. There might be a scenario where this would be bad but I can't think of any.

2 hours ago, blackdog said: So I don't have the chance to try this and never got to this refinement phase in a map… but reading the tools texture wiki, you would think you should achieve this creating a

grenade_clip brush

+

clip or player_clip

does this not work? (Why?)

Clips won't block the blind effect of flashbangs. For regular clip this is reasonable, considering they are everywhere. Grenadeclip however is so niché that I'd say it would be reasonable for it to block flashes. But it just doesn't.
