Ok, LOD actually DOES happen on a model in the 3dskybox. When compiling
your model though, you'll have to take modify the LOD distance of it so
it corresponds with the scale of the model. So in your .qc, if you set
"$scale .0625", you'll need to adjust your LOD distance metrics
accordingly. So
oh for god sakes.. im just gonna test it right now.. be back in 10 minutes

Usually models in the Skybox is relatively simple, the LOD will not give any
performance gain, or even make it worse, if the models are not complex
enough.

Christopher, with very large skyboxes it would make content creation much
simpler if an artist could place the same object close to the skybox camera
or far away and have the game automatically decide which LOD to use.

I suspect the model will never change LOD because all the models are always
the same distance from the skybox render entity if they are in the skybox.
The real benefit to 3d skybox is purely more suggested space in a map than
what is physically allowed by the engine constraints. I don't suspect the
It's definitely more appealing if it's part of the mod and transparent to
the user unless there is an update.

As I had stated in my original (badly written) email, an extra
application to "update" is OK for beta testers, however not really an
acceptable user experience for
copy-pasta (modifying some values included) is not coding. And you won't
learn how to code properly by that.Either learn C++ or hope that
someone is generous
enough to give you the code for that.
Or get a coder for your team.

Thanks mate!
But still, it is not very clear to me, where should I parent the emitter?
Is there something like npcragdoll thing? And I still don't know how to
attach it only on every deadly hit.
If you are not busy at the moment, could you help me maybe on steam talk or
something? I did some lua
I've always wondered about this myself actually. Why don't you make a simple
prop with a couple different levels that are different in obvious ways and
stick a couple of them at different distances in the skybox?

my English is crap at the best of times ;o) too much "net speak" huh!
+ on re-read there is clearly poor use of 's "the mod's DLLs" would
have been grammatically correct.
anyway thank you for deciphering my gibberish...
I would be interested to see your solution when it's ready - or if
you'd like
Jonas that sounds really interesting :D Is it a DLL that can be loaded by
the mod or is it a completely seperate application?

Will my model's LOD work if I place a model in my skybox? How does it
compute the distances? multiply them by 16?
Perhaps my skybox models shouldn't even have LOD levels... I'm just

All of this is very possible. If you want to make a blood fountain
shooting out of his head, the best way to do it is to attach a spray
emitter and parent it to his head. You can attach entities to certain
parts of the player by using a SetParent()
If you want to spray blood on the walls ba
I don't think Valve ever supported 64-bit for anything but the vanilla
Half-Life 2. If you've got a 64-bit CPU, and OS Steam will automatically
detect this, download the appropriate binaries, and launch them. It'll
display a label as shown in the image below.
http://scart.slkandy.com/images/64-bit%
Valve may release 64 bit binaries and server and client code to go
along with that eventually, but it raises a lot of problems with mod
compatibility. If you make a 32bit mod at least everyone can use it.

You cant change an executable's architecture by using a startup argument. It
would need to be recompiled.
I've never tried to have a 64-bit dynamicly linked dll (client/server.dll)

wouldnt as dlls share memory space with th
You could also try putting "-64bit" in the launch options.

Hi there :D
I need help with making a decent blood spray particle for my HL2 mod being made

The problem is, I don't know how to make NPC pill or make blood fountain, there
