dam stupid hotmail

EDIT: do you have messenger or somthing like that so you could send it to me instantly

stupid hotmail said it was unsafe and dident give it to me but ill figure how to get it

ok yea please my email is flames007@msn.com

i was just looking at the hallway tutorial in the intermediate section and it says that you need to know the basics of using the cliping tool where can i learn how to use it?

ok thanks that helps

I was just wondering how i could make an overturned desk or an overturned couch?

oh ok thanks

A few people have told me not to carve i just would like to know how to make a hallway without carving?

before i make a new map i might fix some of the problems in the map

thx for commenting you two

ive got CS:sorce but because of steam my textures stuff up on it cause i got a good but old vidio card and i dont have enough ram to run it so ive got a half-life2 and CS:sorce that i cant use

i might start working on a new map soon fixing those things you told me to fix

cool thx

i fixed it a wile ago sorry forgot to say.
i just put up my really stupid map

i havent done anything to the door just put it in it isent controlled by a button cause when i walk into it from the hall way and it opens

well from the hall the door will open and when i got into the room where it leads to and the door closes and i try to go back out it wont open

oh no one more problem sorry the door only opens from one side

ok thanks all for the help finally made my door

how do you see which way it opens???

i have downloaded it and it was a long time ago it dident help then but (thinks for a miniute) it will help now

it just said hammer has created an error but i think i did it wrong

EDIT: oh and do i make the brushes hollow or somthing?

hmm ok i tryed that and it created an error i might be doing it wrong

Yea ive had a look at them it dont have nothing about making a door tho

What if im putting the dor in an entrance to a room like just putting it in a hall way

Im taking my first attempt at making a sliding door following the tutorial but i dont understand how to make a frame for the door could someone explain?

i made them the guard wont move tho

that doesnt help much all i need to know is how to make a path corner

ok could you please tell me how to do that

i know they have a tutorial on this but i cant get it to work can someone tell me how to get to it and how to work it please

yes thanks so much

ok ill see if that works

this may sound stupid but it wont let me paste it onto the reply thing

ok well um ill get a screen shot 1 sec

when i create a prefab like a vending machine it looks all wrong like the bottom of it is in the middle and it does it with many other things i dont know if this is a problem everyone gets but could someone tell me how to fix it please

dont worry i made it (finally)

i made it run but how do u make the door cutouts proply i made some but it got rid of the whole wall with the hall conecting to it

im having more troubles now i dont know if its to do with the entitys but when im doing the "in the beginning2" when i try to link 2 rooms up with a hall (ive tryed many times to do this) the textures dont come up insife the rooms or the hall doesnt come up and heres my favorite one info_player_start doesnt exist in the map when ive put one in

ok i found it it should work now thanks alot everyone who helped me
and hopefully ill make a good map soon

how do i make sure it like goes in there or what ever it does?????

test_map cannot be found on server

this is great it dident make a BSP file

ok cause that was 1 of the things i dident fill in cause i dident no what to put in there

submit what?
