But he will have to use SUBST everytime...

Try using ZHLT 3.3, as mine is shortform but works effectively.

When I compile, my log is this:

It will take ages... how many triggers, grunts...

lol but the assasins are women.

Hammer messed up your .MAP location... wierd!

Uncountable.

The modified expert FGD can be downloaded here

The problematic process is this one:

** Parameters: "C:Program FilesSteamSteamAppsanime_freak2001@hotmail.map" "C:Program FilesSteamSteamAppsanime_freak2001@hotmail.comcounter-strikecstrikemapsanime_freak2001@hotmail.map"

The rest is ok...

When you press F9, do you get this screen in Advanced mode? If not post yours.

Why not use Hammer, get the latest FGD and use cycler_sprite to display the models (.mdl) .

You might want to refer to this site.

1702130524 is a big number...

It will depend on which directory he decide to install Steam in...

Try not to use "@" in your map name. If your .MAP name is not anime_freak2001@hotmail.map, that means the Hammer batch compilation screwed up...

Set the render mode as Glow?

Guys, I have solved it! Moving entites screw up in CS if a player crouches. It happens in vehicles, trains, tracktrains so on... So I've made my freight mover higher so the player can stand, and it now works!

Thanks for all your reply!

Yes, or else somehow Hammer will screw up running CS and you get no weps, HUDs, and the team selection screen.

Thanks for your reply.

Only 1 player (me) is involved, and yes I use ZHLT 3.2.1. The wierd thing is that the escalator example map in the Map Vault works with no damage dealt to players...

I might try to rebuild another func_train, with a simpler design.

Is your light_environment brightness set to a small 2-figure number like 15?

All light will cast shadows I think... the GoldSrc engine's pretty limited...

Maybe I can export the map as *.MAP...

EDIT: .MAP file here

It works, you can extract the WAD and explore it using Wally.

Or you can get Jed's HLMV 1.3 that can open GCFs too and view textures as BMP files. Get it here

Hello, I placed an ORIGIN brush there and re-added it together with my moving train platform as a func_train.

FYI, my func_train is a freight machine moving horizontally not vertically. Hope it helps, thanks.

EDIT: The damage occurs only when someone is on the moving train or blocking it, and the damage dealt is 2 per second. I'm mapping for CS, and will be able provide the RMF (using custom textures and sky) if you need it. Thanks.

There's a program that tricks HLMV and others that it is a 8-bit BMP but actually contains 32-bit pic contents. Not sure what it was though...

Some sort of free pic viewer... hmm...

Thanks for your reply.

I thought func_trains do not need origin... they align themselves over the path_corners? I added the origin and the damage still occurs...

Any help?

Hello, I am having a problem described here (Except that I'm making a train): clicky

Whenever someone steps on my train, the player will be dealt damage and the train will not move... There is enough space, I set up a set of path_corners for the func_train.

Any help will be deeply appreciated, thanks.

Only one wall, like what pepper said...

Using a good camera? Google Images?

Normally weapons will penetrate func_ entities... like doors, even in Source barrels.

To stop bullets from going through doors... I don't think there's a way...

You can enable "Texture Lock". At the toolbar there is a "TL" button, make sure it is clicked.

Well... it's "Design Discussion"... Xyos212 is praising the maps in quality and design.

Thanks, I think I will use a +A~FIFTIES or my own custom unflagged ones.

Err well I'm mapping for CS. I also use trigger_auto to trigger my RoundRestart multimanager so that it triggers in the first round of play.

OK, I will try a trigger_relay with "ON" targetting the multisource every round. Thanks for the idea.

EDIT: Somehow the trigger only works every 2 rounds... any ideas? It will keep looping...

The tutorial says that func_walls with Minimum Light Level of 1 will make it look as if it is lighted, 0.5 half-lit, 0 not. Well I tried that... it still emits light even though it isn't supposed to.

Hello, I am experimenting with lights like a tutorial here about lights.
I textured a brush with a +FIFTIES light texture (one of them) and made the brush into a func_wall, Minimum light level 0, and it emits light... is it supposed to?

Thanks.

Well, the triggered event is an explosion blasting a door apart in T Spawn so that the Ts can enter the map...

For the multisource, I made a light target the Multisource and the trigger's master to become the multisource. The light is supposed to light up in the beginning, but it didn't. When I removed the light's target to the multisource it lights up... any help?

No, cannot be a func_, but you can have a func_wall_toggle covering the func_recharge with the empty recharger texture... when you want the recharger to work, toggle off the wall_toggle.

Or have a button, and when you want the recharger to be active, use a env_render on it or use a trigger_relay and turn off the button. (Please correct me if wrong)

Oh nevermind, I found a workaround... I simply placed a func_breakable at the area, Render FX of zero and target. Since breakables are reset every round, there you go.

Only if I can remove the sound and gibs, but ah, you can't have everything in life. Thanks anyway guys!

My master light turns off when the trigger is triggered, but the trigger still runs... nice suggestion though.

I worked around the requirements of the roundrestart by having a door out of reach and it triggering a multimanager (func_doors are triggered ever round start).

I tried using a trigger_multiple, but I cannot turn it on or off like other entities... killing the trigger_multiple doesn't help much too, so I turned to trigger_once...

Hello, I am making a map for CS... however I want the trigger_once to be enabled when the round restarts. I tried trigger_relay or a multimanager when the round restarts (using the func_door reset method) but it doesn't work. Help is appreciated, thanks.

Wierd... why would the compiler try and copy the .map file?

Using env_sprite will be better, you can scale it.

Thanks. Maybe I'll use custom textures like Wadfather's...

Sorry if it's already posted before, but is there any good bathroom texture besides FIFTIES_WALL14T? Thanks!

How about using RAR and using myFileHut.com or FileLodge.com?

I think those are models?

The best is use a good grass texture, and use Terrain Generator from Nem's Tools.

Beware of high r_speeds.

But does the cycler_sprite reset its render when the round restarts?

Multimanager named game_playerspawn, then add the two door's name inside it with value of X seconds?

Game_playerspawn --> triggered when people spawn... I don't know how to trigger only when the freezetime is over...

OK thanks, but..

then which forum should I post this in?

I have just acquired Counter Strike Source v_ models for 1.6.
(For those who want it, link is http://netten.pl/~gnat/counter-strie-source-weapon-models.zip , but there is only the v_ models)

So I converted the Source sounds into MONO to work in 1.6.

However some weapons share the same sounds (TMP with Glock) and I want the sounds to be seperate... So can I edit the TMP model to use another sound instead of sharing? (btw the shared sound is clipin1.wav, clipout1.wav)

Thanks in advance.

Well I did that and it doesn't change a bit....
I know that WAD files are in the CZ directory, but the ZHLT.wad is simply used by the compile tools, that's all.

When it loads, it will say "Starting Local Game Server..."

It stays there for hours, progressbar hangs, and the window caption says "Condition Zero (Not Responding)"

Whereas when I load maps like de_dust and fy_iceworld_cz it only takes around 20 seconds!!

I know it's a problem with my map...
