It's the gay Hammer 3d camera fuck up. There is a topic on Intelopers about the fix (that works btw).

I would link you but my internet is being funny at the moment :(

The thing is, is who in their right mind would pay ?2210 for 3DSMAX, if they only person that is going to use it, is themselves? Who is gonna pay such money for these programs?

That is where everything is going wrong in my opinion. Things are too damn expensive.

Pretty good huh? :P

EDIT: Maybe this looks better?

The only game which doesn't seem to be affected by the engine update is HL2. Which is why people who map for HL2 haven't had any stupid errors in Hammer.

Just wait for a fix.

Bah I couldnt be assed. It really is too tedious. The fact that the image size isnt to the power of 2 isnt really helpful either.

Thanks :D

How would I correct this image to make it tileable? How would I fix the lighting and such?

It's the engine. Valve updated it last week.

Join the other hundreds of people who have been having problems with the update...

in Different Cubemap Problem Post #182698
I get the same error. :(

It's not the sky I'm sure, and it's not the cubemaps being too close together mainly because the sky texture and cubemaps are in the same place as before the engine update. (And they worked fine then)

in graphics card or hl2 engine? Post #182579
Here's a proper workaround!

C:Program FilesSteamSteamAppsAccount_namesourcesdkbin

create a shortcut to hammer and put -dxlevel 80 in the command line like this : "C:Program FilesSteamSteamAppsAccount_namesourcesdkbinhammer.exe" -dxlevel 80

this will correct the graphic error.

Solved by some dude at Interlopers!

in Using GIMP to create custom textures Post #182255
I kind of need help to learn how to make my own custom textures (I know how to convert them to source and such).

Does anyone use GIMP to make them, and does anyone have any useful tutorials or tips?

Valve fucked it up unfortunately. So, I can no longer map, not only because of this 3d error but because Hammer crashes every 10 minutes now :(

I find phys_explosion to be buggy anyway. Sometimes it just fails to work for some odd reason =/

What's the difference between using func_detail and func_wall?
Posted 18 years ago2006-05-20 14:02:25 UTC
in Nuke-Style Arches Post #181188
Exos your wrong ^^

Just make sure the size of the arch is to the power of 2 :)

Eg: 128 x 128 , 256 x 256

And yeah, cheers about the clipping idea :P Never thought of it

I already knew that Habboi, pretty good isn't it?

It's just that they meet at a angle. How do I do this?

Make a trigger at each spawn that plays the ambient generics. Simple.

Point_Spotlight isn't considered as a light to the Source engine for some reason (I think). So just add a normal Light entity somewhere and it should fix that mat_fullbright problem.

Indeed, you just need to make sure you name it properly so it moves with the door as it is opened. I'm sure there is a tutorial somewhere :)
