i get a problem when i try to compile a basic room and player start entity which says, 'could not find filesystemdll to load'

: :

Worms World Party rules

That warn-a-brother pick jus made me crack up, thats brilliant!!

Is it possible to have jump pads in Counter-Strike, like the Xen ones in Half-Life?

i dunno why your maps take like 12 hours!!!!!!!!!, has everybody got poo computers accept me, ive got 1024 ram so that might help do it faster i think! whats the specks on your computers to make it take that long

How many people here have a server for cs 1.5, if ya have why dont ya post your ip here then my clan can come cane you up!

96

im english, from hastings (very strange a lot of people here seem to come from my town or near it ....scary ) does anybody go to G-Spot..opps sorry ahem..WAVES

I could do the copy and paste thing vash but then the textures will all go out and theyre not all centered so it will be impossible to do em all. ive tryed moving the orgin and paths but its still dissapears into the ground. damn cars. ill have a fiddle....and, well see if it works :

Thanks peeps

ps..

ha ha unbreakable

where am i?? whats this?? who are you?? ahhhhhhhhh

If your trying to make something like an 'FY' map, then just dont put a buyzone in the map!

ive made a car but when i try to move in it, it just sinks into the ground??? is this because of the placement of the origin brush or the placement of the path_track's. any ideas
Thanks

You need to create an entity (using the lightbulb tool on the left menu) then set it as an 'armoury_entity' then just set it too the weapon you need.

?????????? cant help here, whats a foxbot

Wow, ill try some of this and tell ya how i do, if its succesful ill put the map on the site so it can be used.

i have made a door to blow up so you can enter a building, but i also want it too be openable from the inside, is this possible?

Thanks
96

thanks peeps, i found the problem finally, while carving i went straight through a hostage rescue zone as well as the sky and the floor, after i deleted the hostage rescue zone and made a new one it was fine, with no errors, i think ill jus fillin the gaps with sky now, thanks for the advice

96

What can i do. i jus added the new skybox and it still jus crashes. why why why why. what can i do. ive been working on this map forever and i cant lose it helllpppp.

ahh sh*t, ive deleted all the sky (theres mighty big leaks now) but it still crashes when i look at anything in the map that has any distance.
its cs_assault but modded by me. the ct (outside start) jus crashes when you choose the model. but terrorists (inside start) crashes after a little while when you look over distance. whats happening, any suggestions)

Thanks
96a2107

rofl

opps my bad, thanks monkey all sorted now

I made a map surrounded with sky to stop leaks and all was fine, but then i decided too put sewers in, so i whacked em under the sky brush at the bottom and made ducts goin straight into it from the ground surface by carving it through (i know im bad), the compile was fine and revealed no leaks, but when it starts i move a short distance and the launcher crashes, this doesnt normally happen, any ideas why this is?

Thanks
96a2107

i can have a visibility matrix of 300 odd and compile it fine (computer is a beast though )

AHH VERY GOOD POINT THANKS MONKEY FORGOT TOO PUT THAT 1 IN, OPPS

thanks
96

ant idea what kind of problem anyone? :

dunno what goin on but when i get in my car i jus made, it either sinks into the ground when i try to move it or it jus flys sideways and throws me trough loads of walls.

Whats goin on?

Thanks
96

thats what i tryed but does it apply to sideways movement as well as vertical because it didnt work last time, ill try again and post back

on counterstrike by the way

i want to make a car that you control and is on a track, have tryed lots of things but none seem to work.

does anyone kno how to do this?

Thanks
96

thanks peeps jus wonderin why i have loads of em

jus wonderin what these are, i have a lot of them in the map folder (i.e. mymap.p1, mymap.p2 etc etc

this is very strange. i saved the map yesterday nite, and came back added more bits the next day but when it compiles and plays thier not there??????

Anybody got any ideas why?

Thanks
96

opps forgot too add:

after the blah blah blah there is a cl_signonreply: 2 then the launcher encounters problems

i recently made quite a large map, is compiles fine but when counterstrike is executing it the launches crashes and encounters a problem. i noticed a couple of lines that i dont normally see in the execution which are:

---

cl_signonreply: 1
33.3 megabyte datacache

blah blah bout not havin txt file for overview

---

does anyone know whats wrong???

(i had this problem when i once placed a larger block over a peice of the map too see if the leak was there)

thanks a million in advance
96

cl_signonreply: 2

woohhh cant tell ya that shell hunt me down and lock me in a dark room forever

is bitch robertson still there, she was my arch nemisis. we didnt get along too well. i had hundreds of detentions with her

bloody ell thats a bit of chance your in year 10 then. nope im at uni now already been through sixth form but i still use the num cause its easy too remenber. whos your form tutor and what form are you in (saxon rules by the way)

lol thanks jaardsi i worked it out in the end i just used the find problem button rofl

Missing '[' in texturedef (U)

well thats the problem but what do i do abaout it

the help says this:

The 'missing [ in texturedef' message can be caused several ways:

One or more faces has no texture, or the texturename is just made up of spaces. Check for problems in WC 3.3 should detect them as 'invalid texture' messages.
The texture name on one or more faces has a space in the middle of the name somehow (Textures are not allowed to have spaces in their names)
You are using Worldcraft 2.0 or 2.1, and the worldspawn has a key/value of "mapversion" "220" If so, remove it.
A Worldcraft 3.3 map was imported into WC 2.1 or 2.2, same problem as above.
A Worldcraft 3.3 map was imported into Quark, also the same problem
The map is in Worldcraft 3.3's .map format, but the "mapversion" "220" is MISSING from the worldspawn (this is really rare).

BUT WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN (ive been doin this for 2days now )

thats the compile thingy

The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified."

this is gettin very confusing, the reason it cant run is because it wont make a bsp file. at what point is the bsp file created does anyone know. and why isnt it being created. this is really annoying :

thanks
96

nope didnt work, i copyed it over into a new file and compiled it but it came up with the same message, its jus not creating the .bsp file when it compiles. could this be because of a leak? :

i just tryed to compile nd run my map but it says map not found on server. is it screwed what can i do!!!

Thanks
96

lol seventh monkey, by any chance did you go to willaim parker in hastings

and i got the problem sorted now, thanks peeps

Hi everyone, whenever i start my map after compiling it..after bout 7secs it crashes my computer..everytime!!!

also when i complie a map after puttin some monsters in..they dont appear

does anyone know why this is?
