Yeah, ever since hl2 i dropped out of mapping since there was no reason to make maps for hl1 since only my friends on the lan would play. But since i lead a clan on hl2 im gonna make some maps if i can. Great to be back to twhl and nice to see u and rab are both still around.
I'm working on a test map right now, so expect a reply on how it went soon.

THATS the error lol, u rule rab. If this new install doesnt work ill give that a shot, www.steampowered.com correct?

Error = a two lined error that u get when game crashes, the usually error. Very common to gmod users. Can't tell u exactly what it says.

Im tryin to map for HL2 for the first time, ive made a lot of maps for hl1 and good quality too. Anyway, I just reformatted and installed hammer. I downloaded SDK and im gonna test it out. But my post is about:

Before reformat, I couldnt get it to work. It would give me an error when trying to load it.

Any idea's?

If it decides to work, ill reply to let you all know. Finally,
NICE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN!

Anybody have a clue to this?

and then i get couldnt load studio.dll

Ahh ty

Lol hl2 mapping is way different than hl1..Expect alot of questions from me for about a month lol

Whenever the map gets loaded, progress says something like "Initializing World"

And this means?

Do i type prop_jeep or whatnot into the console in game or how do i put it in my map in hammer?

I'm also hearing the buggie is pre-made, how do I insert it?

I've searched it and have a little vechical i want to make for my map for HL2. But how do I get it reconignized as a vehicle?

I followed what you do on CS, how you wrap it in origin, but func_vehicle doesn't exist

Also as a side question, how would you make a map for Garry's Mod?

I can read it again but I couldnt follow it for some reason, another one of those weird things lol :

One paragraph to say hi again and to tell you all whats going on lol, and a question of course - - Been off playing World of Warcraft and had a woman to attend to lately lol. Althought I was gone for a long time, im back and will be back on the forums once again

Question is, i never understood the fire/sprite tutorial, can anyone tell me how i'd make a fire? I have a map where our ship crashing into a marine starcruiser and need a burning fire.

Feels great to be back and sry to open back up with a question but hey thats what this is for right?

No other brush on there

when you get in the game, in the console type pointfile, they'll lead you to a leak...If not a leak then make sure your lights are entity "light" no light_spot or light_environment

try func_wall, Render Mode at texture, and FX Amount at 255

Hope this helps

P.S: I don't use CS, so i dont know if func_wall exists.

Ok, to clear up the title, im in my train, graphics and all. I have put the map to an intermission untill i get an answer.

Anyway, train moves down the track, when we close in on the path_corner, the graphics stop but the train keeps going. Inviso train. Any ideas why?

Try to put some AI Scripts where their attacking, and make Move To set to walk.

Try this.

i like that idea

Have a humungus Garg with a m4a1 and grenades.

Damn carnage rules

if you mean where you can see other brushes through the sky like a window, you cant fix it. But since your using a space sky, try adding the texture on a brush called "BLACK" behind the sky brush, this might fix the see-through look. This would only work on space sky's though..

Didn't mean to cap "BLACK" to mark at you..Thats just what its called.

Correct me if i'm wrong on this:
(Quote)through the sky like a window, you cant fix it.(End Quote)

Can you point me to a tutorial for multisource?

I've tried to make a blinking light, and did. Use a multimanger and targeting itself..BUT how do i make it turn off? If i hit the trigger agian, it just blinks faster and faster and faster

Hello once agian TWHL, been about a week since I disappeared. About the crap that i'm leaving. Just my bullshitting around..Life's back on track agian.

Question is now, when i make the func_tank, and set all the settings to what I think is perfect, which all the values are valid, and when i go to use the gun ingame, it turns 90 degrees upon USE and it shoots out of the side of the barrel..Or box...Or gun...Or whatever.. But it shoots out of..Hell heres an example

*=player +=bullet -- OR | =GUN

*|+

when it should be

*--+

Thats the best I could do, if this isn't explained enough, I apologize fully.

System reboots are caused by loss of memory or viruses of some sort.

Hope this helps

Cross out the www

groups.msn.com/ProjectFreeman

christmas mod link is on the left. Full information on the mod.

I am looking for the following positions for my Christmas mod found at

www.groups.msn.com/ProjectFreeman
Contact me via yahoo: waahoo1732002 -(im always invisible)-
or MSN:sca_rory@hotmail.com

ALL IN PARENTHESES ARE MINIMUMS

The following is what I need:
+Backup Mappper to fix graphical issues(1)
+Scripter(2)
+Modelist(2)
+Mapist <- to sprite ideas (optional)

Those are the ones i REQURIE to have, if you are a position unlisted, contact me and we'll talk

Later all and keep an eye out for the map, should be finished 1 week before X-Mas

Happy Fragging!

If you tie to entity, and it doesn't show up...Hit tie agian, click yes (hopefully that entity is the only thing you have selected) then do properties agian...

Then don't select use only

In the spot for delay before close, put 5 or 6, whatever you wish

I run RAD last, for its just for the lights and it brings up compile time...I reinstalled counterstrike because i got the error running the game maunually on every map,

Couldn't find DLL API in !

Reinstallion fixed it

Sorry for my rudeness earlier.. It seems to be i post too many questions on the forums...What im trying to say is im most likely going to leave, i don't have the best rep in the world

Hope I meet you all in the future..Good-bye

Wow - clean compile but not the first - - - Put the map in the problem section, i'll check it out for you.

HPB bot, the self navigators --- i thought these bots only worked for CS? Lemme know if im wrong - if not that could be it. lol

If thats the whole log, your not running bsp, vis, or rad(vis and rad optional) and download zoners tools..Alot better - - i don't know the web address, but search Zoner's on google.

Or just make the transparent tree, fence, whatever has blue on it a "Func_wall" Render mode texture, and the 1-255 thingy 255

Try getting the picture to show up.

Alright i know i submit alot of problems on the damn forum but what the hell? Isn't that what the forums are for!? I try to help others but i cant help all...I see thousands of damn replies hours before mine is replied to...If you guys are tired of my posting damn questions on here, WHICH IS WHAT IT IS FOR then tell it to andy atom or seventh. Tell them im posting questions on the damn question forum

Put that in your damn pipe and smoke it.

F9..Compile (Clean compile - w/ ztools) ..Execs and closes CS in a flash of a screen.

Any ideas?

Found out i made my open pre-created mod in the options, for my mod - such as where you tell it where executables are, and where to put things, etc.. Well i decided to compile it under half-life settings, and i didn't get the allocblock - - No longer a concern of mine but would be nice if someone could explain why it compiled and no allocblock fine when ran under half-life.

Exactly as the title reads, except how? Inspired by "Cow's with Guns" I decided to give zombies and melee attacking creatures an advantage for a MOD by giving them guns.

Dont tell me to search it, don't give me redirects, i read em all and i tried them all...

I have a clean compile, i have no errors, i have no displaced textures, stretched or disaligned, i have no textures below .10 or above 10, and i did and did not run RAD

Fatal error durning console run to game: AllocBlock:full

Damn mapper_man, you don't know how to make movable cars? DANG YOUR---No im friggin kidding....When you make the vehicle, put an origin brush all over the vehicle, then select all of the things inside the origin, including the origin, and bind it to func_vehicle

Looks like this:

_____________

|  ----<Vehicle |
|____________|<<Origin

Refer to Sven Co-op on this

how do i make aliens and grunts respect each other so i can make my mod look like the military people have pet aliens?

I've just recently began to move my mad mapping skills from half-life to CS. Question though, where does the origin go on a func_vehicle to make it go forward left right back and everywhere on the map...i put on dead center in the vehicle...Obviously thats not it.

Sorry if this has been posted before, i couldn't find a related topic.

Bad experinces with info_player spawns in a deathmatch level....Lol bad bad experiences..

As andy had said i shouldn't post if im unsure of the answer, but to try it never hurts...I know its not EXACTLY your match of what you want, but is it possible to put a trigger_multiple where they go the most, and least likely for an assassian to go...I don't map for TFC since i hardly play it anymore due to lack of connection speeds w/ satellite...But if i did this for Half-life, which is pretty much the same engine, i'd make a trigger_multiple(or once, or relay. your map, your choice)

I'ma shut up before things get ugly

suit in the map, our in the F9 compile box where you put in -console, put in

+deathmatch 1

If your making a multiplayer map, at the F9 compile screen where you select your settings, in the text box put

+deathmatch 1

Do you have a trigger or button?

Put info_player_deathmatch points in it, and please search for something before posting, its been posted about 2 or 3 times

An inspiration from Sven Co-op and HL main game, i'm making a multiplayer escape mod...My question is this:

I've searched and couldn't find exactly what i wanted to ask.
How do i set up monstermaker to spawn ONE creature once, so if an idiot tries to break into someplace, it spawns the creature

Also if you'd wish, although i could search it, how would i do multiple monsters at once? And yes i know how to use multi_managers if it requires it?
