yeah the barrels were kind of a temporary thing that i just forgot to fix. the crates and everything like that were about all my creativity allowed while i was/am still learning how to make maps. but i really want to re-invent temple falls with statues and no crates. sarcaphogus and things like that. and put water sprites at the bottom of the falls. also make the water look different. not just blue but more transparent, more life like

ok i think i may have it setup right now... thanks for your help.

ok so my issue is somewhat like u mentioned im confused. i have been compiling like i would writing a DOS .bat batch file. But you are saying that i actually can include zoners from hammer if i understand right. so that could save me lots of time. i guess i need to make sure hammer is setup right. ill try again. it might sound weird but i for some reason i find manually writing out the commands in a .bat file easier to understand.

thanks for fast reply, unfortunately i am pretty noob when it comes to compiling. i did the csg line in hammer. but i need to know how to do it with zoners.

this is what i have typed up. tell me if this is wrong please. and i know it is a pain but if this is wrong can u please type up the correct way using the names of the files. thanks

$path$file -wadinclude cs_ivory

i need some direction on how to include custom textures using the -wadinclude function. i tried using hammer and following the direction but it i couldnt get that to work. i really want to compile with zoners tools.

when i say i need help i need an exact example. lets pretend the custom texture file is named cs_ivory.wad klobb_cz will be the example name of my map
thanks in advance

hello i have map a map called de_temple_falls_cz i would like to know if anyone with some sort of imagination would like to fix my sky box, improve the textures and replace the boring boxes with some temple/egyptian style statues. i hope this is in the right forum. u can check out the map here http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/21353 if u play it and think you can improve it let me know thanks.

hello i release a few new maps. please check them out and give me feedback. here is the link http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/21353 i have 4 maps in total.

didnt fix it. i hate my life

i didnt have multithreaded checked. i will recompile and try it again... its appreciate the info saw21833

yeah its actually loaded on our server to test it out. all players experienced the same problem. im not sure if it is from the weapon strip entity or what. i have not ever had this issue before.

: anyone have any ideas?

why not do what srry says and take it a step farther. not sure if this can be done since i am kind of new to mapping. but what if u had a player model facing you through the mirror. the model can be on a train or cycler to move across the mirror according to the location of the player that is looking at the mirror. i know there are different skins and what not. but... i think that would be pretty cool.

I made a small fy map. I am using a multi with weapon strip and equip. The order is strip weapons 0.1 sec then give knife and elites 0.2 sec. after spawning a player always gets the elites and knife but cannot pickup anything else including armor. this goes on randomly. then the map works fine for five minutes with no problems. if anyone can help me or has experienced this before please let me know.
Thanks!
