cyclers

Ive seen some threads on models, but none relevant with what I need to know - do cyclers work with cs 1.6, or do i have to insert the models as sprites? (i dont have cs 1.6 yet, thats why im asking).

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

I wouldn't know why not. Thing to remember, though, cyclers will cast blood when shot. Had a nasty experience with that in ns_veil when I first started implementing the chairs. I ended up using a cycler_weapon, which will work provided you clip off the model - otherwise you run over the model and it'll position itself as if it were a weapon model. Granted, it was funny running around with a chair hanging into my view, but it's not a good effect. :smile: The advantage of cycler_weapon over cycler_sprite, though, is that it will not bleed when shot and won't crash the editor. :smile:

Check the CS fgd; if the entities are there they should work. There may be a new entity specifically for model placement added, as the implementation of models (de_airstrip in particular comes to mind) may have called for a better means of doing things.

None of the half-life entities seem to appear in the cs.fgd.

A simple yes would sufice (as in they appear in the map during LAN play in CS.Doesnt ANYBODY use CS16?!?).

Apparently not.

Steam = S**team, Steam-ing pile of...

Thats all the steam jokes I can think of now. Why oh why didnt they think of us people who dont play online? Us people with montly download limits? Us people who don't really want to use steam until its... FINISHED!

Can you not just try it yourself?

I suppose I am being a bit hypocritical... but since I dont have an internet connection on my own comp, I cant really use steam, so I go on what I've heard from other people who have it. Apparently its murder on a 56k...

Ive just said that i dont have cs1.6.

Ok, this is just silly. 1.6 is a free dl, right? You appear to be attempting to make a map for the mod... So what is the problem with dl'ing it. I think it's rather reasonable to have the mod you're trying to map for.

If none of the HL entities are in the CS fgd, then there would seem to be a major problem - last I was aware, all standard HL entities were included, as it'd be odd if CS was just magically without func_wall.

Also, even though an HL entity isn't in the fgd by default, that doesn't mean it won't work if you add it manually.

But yes, as was just pointed out, you really should just get the release and then check and see what happens and how well it works.

CS 16 is 200MB AND IM ON A F*CKING 56K. And the cyclers work with 1.5 so i guess that they work with 1.6.

:rolleyes:

If you have a DVD drive, get a copy of PC Gamer DVD edition. They'll probably have a CS installer on that as one of the many, many extras they have every month.

uhh, i don't understand the problem, unless you have limited access??

i have downloaded 300 meg files, multiple times, when i had 56k.

just get a resumable program to download with.

if you have limited access to the net, pick a f**king project that your internet will allow you to make :rolleyes:

don'tya just love it when a plan comes together :biggrin:

Set the DL to run overnight.

It's always a good idea to have the mod you're making the stuff for, or else it's just plain un-tested from your own machine. And it's a really good idea to test your maps yourself.

I doubt it. It takes 20 minutes d/l 5mb.

And d/l over night??? I dont intend to make the phone company 1000$ richer. :smile:

[edited out for forum harmony]

This forum really should not be for arguing why you should or shouldn't spend the time/money dl'ing a mod. If I had the powers of Lep or Gwil, this thread would now be locked. Let's all just treat it as such.

They should close it, since NOBODY seems to be able to say "YES, they work, GOD DAMMIT!" or "NO, they DONT work, so pod-off" or something :eek: .
