The tutorial about teh dustmotes is very brief and i cannot get it to work at all.
just some tips on writing a tutorial:

-write a descriptive one that doesnt skip everything you have to do.

-make sure u go through the important properties to change to get the result needed.

-dont be so brief.

Sorry if that sounds kindof harsh or hypocrytical, but it is just constructive criticism that might help with your tutorials in the future.

So can someone tell us how to do the dustmotes properly???

Er, yeah, thanks. Some tips on reading a tutorial: read it. All you need to know about dustmotes is there, and I DO NOT need to describe all the properties of this entity to you; if they are not appearing then either your brush isn't rectangular or you have other problems with your map.

What would a brush covered in the fog texture do?

It looks like it does in Hammer- i.e. it doesn't turn out foggy- as you could quite easily find out yourself :P

I tried to add some snow to my level. I made the brush with the particle/snow texture, and then changed it to a func_precipitation entity, and set the precipitation type to snow. But in-game, it looks like rain! (and kinda crappy rain at that). What did I do wrong?

You can also texture the brushes with invisible. You don't have to use snow or rain textures. However they are easier to find in the editor when textured respectively.

When Valve released Ep1... they added ash to the precipitation entity. Works really good if you use the Ep1 fgd but doesnt show in HL2DM.

Very good tut Lep... Anything new? I see so many posts that are dated '05. Holy crap this game has been out for 2 years already? smiley
