The (Un)Offical Source Thread!

[Jay2645]

I got fed up with the lack of a Source section in the site, so I've decided to make one measly thread in the hope to show there is demand (So post in this if you want to help out and show demand!).

Anyway, post your maps, ownage, mods, stuff you made in Gmod, videos, etc. of things you did in Source.

E: Yes, I am aware I spelled official wrong. So sue me.

Also, here are some tutorials (Thanks legionaire!)

I'll post some tutorial type stuff for mappers and modelers:

1. Good to check this one like once a week for updates.
2. Valve's official developer wiki, always good.
3. Awesome place for weapon references (used by the developers of STALKER too )
4. Exporting from 3DS Max
5. IF YOU ARE A NEW MAPPER LOOK AT THESE NOW.
6. Useful for texturers
7. Animating a weapon for CSS
8. Great texturing tutorial for hard surfaces
9. Tutorial for people who don't know how to bake AO maps (required for the tutorial above)
10. Great place to get custom brushes

*Sues you*

I guess this thread is a good idea, though I don't have any Source-based games.

I vote for a section about source, theres so many games and mods. People damn well want to talk about them!

I'm glad to see that there is demand, but let's not forget this thread's other purpose; to post stuff you did in Source.

Does playing source games count?

"final" version should release in something like a month or two maybe.

Even though I only just fully discovered steam and source games about a week ago, I LOVE source to death, because of this. They're awesome for tweaking a little, and after that, they run *perfectly* on my shit integrated graphics.

So, pretty much, I've got to Anticitizen One in HL2, finished Portal, and spawned too many explosive barrels next to large groups of zombies in Gmod.


You know, I actually have a question. In all my source games, as soon as I start it, it's in 640x480 even if I changed the res last time I played the game. I think it might be because of the -autoconfig parameter the guy in that blog says to do, but idk. Also, when I start a game and get into gameplay, my health, ammo etc. don't show up or are partially hidden, like so:




See? The ammo meter is missing half. Sometimes I can fix this by changing the resolution, but sometimes it still doesn't work. And when I switch weapons in Garry's mod, no matter what resolution it's on, I can't see what I'm switching to; only the top 5 pixels or so of the weapons switching palette thing are displayed. Anyone know why my source games are being so ghey?

Glad you like source Muffin, I assume you downloaded the autoconfig file that the blog suggests, if you open it up in notepad, you should see an area explaining about resolution, if you change this to the numbers you want it. When you run it, it will always be set to them (unless you change of course)

The ammo counters messing up I'm pretty much 100% sure that its to do with the resolution, whenever I played HL2 and changed resolution, it always cut up the ammo counter =\. Changing resolution is really the only fix.
