    $selfillum not working

    If you are ever trying to make a simple fulbright texture. You can just use Unlitgeneric shader since it ignores all lighting by default. You dont even have to add the selfillum stuffs to it UnlitGeneric { $basetexture "/lights/Tlight02A" $surfaceprop metal %keywords tf }

    Rain causing severe FPS issues

    I have alot of custom particles in my game and noticed a huge drop in performance after the Tough Break update hit. I was forced to remove alot of collision particles and optimize the particle effects. I recommend that you don't use alot particles with collisions since they seem to be borked at...

    A Source engine hack I've always wanted to see

    Look no further than the antique-source-engine-like-frankenstein-patchwork of an engine called gamebryo/creation. More specifically the version used in Fallout 4. There are few elevators that will allow you to replace the loading screen with a calm elevator ride. You can even interact with your...

    Is it possible to remove gibs or speed up how quickly they disappear?

    Maybe you could try a workaround for exploding a player without any gibs If you set the damage type to "4194304", it might remove the ragdoll after the trigger kills someone. (You have to disable smartedit to be able to type in custom damage stuff. I am also not 100% sure it will work - but for...

    Tf2 custom particles editor palette mesed up!

    You could try typing in the RGB value. I cant see a reason as to why the particle editor will always input red.

    Tf2 custom particles editor palette mesed up!

    There are 2 color inputs for particles. The particles will be a random shade of color between both of those colors. Set both of them to the color you want so that all the particles show up as the said color. The 2 inputs are located here: Initiliazers - Color Random * color1 * color2

    Mayann Oil Torch Fire V1

    The white dot in the middle of the fire represents the center of the particle system, its there for reference only and doesn't actually show up on the real thing. (You can use it to guide the placement of the particle in your map) The fire is very big and detailed. I wouldn't recommend using it...

    Particle Mayann Oil Torch Fire

    Mayann Oil Torch Fire - Fire for a giant oil torch The fire is very big and detailed. I wouldn't recommend using it on small torches. You should also avoid using the expensive version very often, it has a total of 90 individual particles. Particle System Names; mayann_torch -...
