RE: [hlcoders] Fog in Software Mode?
You don't actually have to do that, nor do the sounds seemed muffled. By just tricking the client into thinking you are in water, the engine doesn't do the standard stuff it would other wise do. We got water fog happening with about 3 lines of code modification on server side, and a bit of offset hacking in view.cpp client side.

You may be able to do this with a combination of trigger-multiple and a CFuncWallToggle. It would mean that monsters could not pass the area if a player was in the vicinity though.

Re: [hlcoders] Specific clip entity brush for players
Actually, a monsterclip entity-brush does a full block on monsters. They can't go through it, even if they were pushed towards it's direction. That trigger_push idea might be good to experiment with.

[hlcoders] Specific clip entity brush for players
Is it possible to block players through something like "playerclip" and allow monsters to pass through? Currently Half-Life has: A standard clip brush which blocks players and monsters. A monsterclip entity-brush which blocks monsters but allows players to pass through. I can't seem to figure out a way to do this, or if it's even possible. It seems possible though... I keep thinking about trigger_multiple/trigger_once entity-brush and their "clients only" flag. Could someone help me out with this?
