The computer room sends you off to a hallway, and then you change levels into the hallway to the warehouse. Problem is, when I hit the landmark Gordon get's turned 180 degress and I'm facing the wrong door.. I tried changing the angle to face the correct way, but he keeps getting flipped...

I copied and pasted the hallway that u walk into to change but he still is facing the wrong way

So i'm sol eh?

So no one knows?

All 4 of those are affirmative, noobish.

The .wav is 1150kz 8bit mono. Like I said, it plays ingame when I have the console make it play, but not through the ambient_generic

I have an ambient_Generic set up in the blue and red respawn, and it's targeting

Play > misc/song2.wav
no tigger name
not looped
does not start silent

Therefore it should start at the beginning... It doesn't. I tried giving it a name and then a trigger_once trigger for when the first person to join the games starts the song. Still didn't work

I used the console and did
play misc/song2.wav
and the song played. So whaddafx up?

Anyone know how I can make command points like Avanti or Cornfield?
or
Can anyone link me to a site where I can find this information?

I dont have an rmf for some reason.. Always used .map

Yeah I took some of the WAD's out but now when I open the .map file it's empty like a new map, did I lose the map?

This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange

A LEAK is a hole in the map, where the inside of it is exposed to the

indication of where the beginning of the leak pointfile starts, so the
beginning of the line can be quickly found and traced to until reaching the
outside. Unless this entity is accidentally on the outside of the map, it
probably should not be deleted. Some complex rotating objects entities need
their origins outside the map. To deal with these, just enclose the origin
brush with a solid world brush

Yeah the bombsite a signs are decal'd on with a texture model, thanks.

Model textures...?

Will do.

The selected entity is the light_environment, lighting the outside of A

[img=http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/4170/dedustyfate0001ih2.th.jpg]

1) No

2) Yes

I've always wondered how they light maps like de_dust2... I'm making my own map and I'm working on one piece at a time. I started with bomb site a, and I put a light_environment in the middle of the section, and a few lights inside bombsite a (a room inside, like the B tunnel)

Problem is, if I don't put a light entity in every single pocket that the last light didn't hit, it's pitch black. Help?

K i'm good now, thanks hab. I had a directory that had a steam/cstrike etc directory in it, and so I deleted that due to your advice. Might have been the problem, donno. All I do know is that it works now.

Going to reinstall steam completely, let you know how that goes.

Did, several times. I refreshed game configs and SDK's, reinstalled the SDK and reinstalled CS:S.

When I'm loading CS:S in hammer, it gives me "This program has generated errors and must be closed. Send a stupid error log report dumbbutt"

HL2DM and HL2 load fine, I've reset configs and reinstalled hammer, but still same problem.

You also get this error if theres something outside the grid or close to the edge, check that.

I have 2 prop_door_rotating entities, set up and ready.

Problem is, when I go ingame and open them, the texture moves, but the game acts as if the door doesn't. When I try to go through the doorway it bounces me back like a wind tunnel.

Yes, run and hide for your lives TWHL people. Rory the Questionfanatic is back.

No I'm running them in Garry's Mod, sometimes I try it in hl2

I deleted the func_illusionary's and the func_precipitation, seems to be working a-ok for now.

This is getting so ***king stupid.. EVERY time I build a map i'm getting this error. On this map I built it happened when I looked at the military base, i'm hoping it was the func_illusionary that I just deleted.

Don't tell me it's because I've got too many entities that cause it, my map has less then 25% of the entities a normal map has.

I read the backpack guide on that site forwards, backwards, upside down, and inside out and I still couldn't get it to work, if you know how its done I'll upload a problem map with the backpack entity i've tried making.

By the way, good to see you again bj

How do I create these? I'm trying to make a TFC map, but our warriors kind of need ammo health and armor to shoot off of each other!

how is it gonna be used? you can make support beams under it with nodraw textures and is not solid to players.

Carved Brushes: Were removed and rebuilt as uncarved brushes.
Main area for vertex error: A building in the corner of the map. I tore this building down and rebuilt it without all the technical stuff. Error still comes.

I'm not running vis because I'm not compiling 2 hours every time I fix something that causing this vertex error.

I keep deleting entities and solids and it keeps going up, now its at 37756>32785 (or whatever the cap is)

I deleted some of entities, and the number went from
33275>32785
To
34478>32785

Uhh, help?

Ohh, thanks a bunch. I'll test this out after my current compile finishes.

I checked for errors, no invalid brushes. I really need help, I wanted to release this sucker today and the errors just keep coming!!

I read the guide on multisources and it made no sense, heres how I've got mine set up

123
456
789

123-567-9 will all blow you up, 8 will open the door, then 4 cna be pressed, messing it all up.

I need to make 4 not be pressed untill 8 is activated, then when 8 and 4 have been pressed, it opens the door.

((Title))
Check for Errors!

No errors and the map size is SMALLER than when it did work. What the fuck is wrong with my map?

Didn't work, I hit 8 and it opened the vault.

Blahblah-dunno-what-this-part-says (####>####) tell programmer to up VERTEX_BUFFER_SIZE

What does this mean? I'm getting this error when im play-testing my map and it just freezes all the sudden and quits with this error.

I have 9 buttons for a vault, and I made 8-4 the password. I made the master of 4, 8 therefore u cant activate 4 before 8. I set 8 and 4's OnPress output to open the vault door. If im correct if 8 and 4 both say to open the same thing, it wont open unless both are pressed correct? I've never done multisources before and my map already a 5 hour compile which is why im asking lol.

I saw from another map that it was env_sprites and a logic_timer or 2. Thanks for the help anyway guys

Fuck that didnt work, align the pluses and u can see what I was trying to do

lol could you explain a little more? Dont know how to do it
I finally have the set up, its like this:
In order by:
Up/Down
Left/Right
Down/Up
Right/left

LEFT TURN STRAIGHT
+ 123478 + 345678
+ 6 + 2
+ 5 + 1

+ 123456 + 125678
+ 8 + 4
+ 7 + 3

+ 12347 + 345678
+ 6 + 2
+ 5 + 1

+ 123456 + 125678
+ 8 + 4
+ 7 + 3

I got down to how many lights I need, but what can I use as a multimanager to run them? I've geard multimanagers dont work in hl2

Nevermind, I'll use search next time lol.

Thanks rabid for your earlier reply on a different topic

point_viewcamera point at info_target

to move the position of the camera you see through when joining a multiplayer game? You know, the one that views things as your in the menu to select your team?

Specificly CS:S, one camera.

Lol, hl2 is complicated. I'll give this a shot, thanks

HAH found out it was that i was putting a gun-spawn inside of the player-spawn.

Thanks, worked like a charm

I'm trying to make a castle door in CS:S to go down when the terrorists go through the trigger_once, but it doesnt work, heres what I do

bridge's Master: name_of_trigger
Trigger: unchanged

i also tried

bridge's Name: bridges_name
trigger's parent: bridges_name

I made a map for css and added spawn points for both teams, and when i play the map I get: "Both teams are full!"
"CT Team is full"
"T team is full"

Any ideas?

How do I add a bomb site?

k, thanks a bunch and the triggering is what i was looking for (lacked the info in question)

Except for one thing, how do u make buttons and moving parts (i.e elevators?)

HL2 is way complicated

Huston we show green light, all system go.
