BlisTer, you've probably googled for an answer to you FinalLighFace error already, but give this thread a try:

If you're looking for new ideas on what's wrong, or how to track down the culprit. There's no definitive answer in the thread, just a bunch of ideas that may be helpful for tracking down the offending brush.

wtf is that link blister???

For some reason my ip is banned from those forums that I have never visited before. Yeay! dynamic IPs!

yeah i tried every solution i could find on google including these ones, but nothing works. it must be that i'm bumping into a complexity limit, because it occurs whenever i try to add even the simplest things. really would've loved to expand it into a FF map.. thx anyway man

These words are my diaries screaming out loud

rs6, he linked to some scary decaying corspe faces like Lep's, all set out doing humorous activities. Quite disturbing :smile:

Sorry to hear BlisTer. Sometimes intagibles like maps are frustrating because you can't actually break the damn thing open and see what's wrong.

Lep no longer visits this site. His last visit was over a year ago in fact. Reasons? Hes busy with real life, and his alternate life in WoW.

Like Gwil said, this site has been under construction since HL1 came out. It was the first editing site for HL1, and has a broad history. If you want to reminiss...

The history of the snarkpit. The golden years of snarkpit were during the changover of the site to the black background version- our dark war with Biohazard, our arch nemesis who we destroyed with our powahs!

I really admire the way this site has about 1 reply every 8 hours. :rolleyes:

It's a shame, I agree with you on all three points.

Though I have to say about point number one, possibly the reason why
there are so many less than impressive maps is because hammer editor is
a lot easier to get, and a lot more people know about it. You used to
have to find it, then set it up (the latter I found a PITA), whereas
now it's there in steam and it does it all for you.

I whole heartedly agree. Setting up hammer used to be a sort of "competence test." All it really took was a google search and half a brain. If you failed this "test" you either don't use search features and forum-goers would hate you for asking questions they've answered many times before, or the fact that you have less than half a brain means you'd probably only make subpar killboxes anyway, again causing people to hate you.

Now with hammer all set up right off the bat and easily accessible, people that would have given up before getting hammer working can make over-scaled killboxes using two textures and no light to their heart's content. I wouldn't care if people didn't release every killbox they make and actually strived to improve their skills, but for the most part I don't see that happening with Source mapping. Mostly I just see people making maps "focused on gameplay not graphics lol."

What's in a map? That which we call a killbox by any other name would play as bad.
