THANX EVERYBODY!!!

Ehh, acording to the readme file the program is sposed to find the LEAK and place an invalid texture and brush to it. I'm sposed to get at least 1 error message from Hammer, but I'm not getting a single one, why?

Posted an uptade of test3

Danke sch?n (Thank you very much on German)

Sure it is, but I still have to know how to change func_wall to a solid.
Does anybody know?

WOW! Sounds like a great mod!

Thanx Tlax, but how do I chage func_wall back to a solid?
About the textures, I changed the names of some textures because HL (or Hammer) placed the some textures att wierd places. Anyways I'll send the .wad as soon as I'm finished with test3

Sure, if you can pay for the server...hehe

Yellow mapers! I got a Leak on my map (test3). I've tried everythig, even the block trick. Can someone check it out, I'll upload a .rmf on the problem section. One more thing, let me now if the textures are not the same in HL as in Hammer.

Check the texture application (on the toolbar to the left), make sure that the texture size look something like this 1.00 0

1.00    0

XP RULES!

Now when Valve is working on a new source code, will HL2 look better?

Yo everyone! My friend just downloaded HL2 beta, he said that he only got a bunch of files and he also said that you must have a 3,1GHz to run
HL2 (unbelivable...). How do you run the beta?

Ehh...Isn't this the tutorial that you can find on the Help Topic in Hammer?

Weee!! Solved the "no vis" problem with zoner's custom tools. Works very nice, but I still have the LEAK LEAK LEAK problem. Well anyways, if I don't solve the LEAK I'll just write again (as always)...

Thanx for the tools NinjaGrinch

Thanx, I'll try that . One more thing, it's not my DELL saribous, it's your "public" computer hehe

Really? Happened to me many times before

I know it's an vis error but how do I fix it. Here's the full report:

The map is showing textures on wrong places. Check the the .rmf and then compile and play, you'll notice the problem.

DOH!! I spent 1 1/2 hour building new rocks

By the way, map name is test3

Have a BIG problem with my map can someone check it out it's on the problem level (.rmf)

It compiles but it takes 50 secs instead of 20

Sorry for the "?" letter

No no, you don?t understand. My whole level is button_target instead of func_wall. I'm wondering if theres any way to replace the brushes instead of changing it one by one

Does anybody know if it's pssible to replace brush entities ex:
"button_target" to "func_wall". If it is, how do I do? DOH!!

Tip of the day by DR PHIL, hehe

LOL, the wrenchsoftware page doesn't work...

WAZUP! Me and "saribous" are working on a mod, but how do you get that enormous text like in HALF-LIFE (the begining)

Have you checked that the properties correctly configured?

Have you checked that the properties correctly configured?

I get ideas from movies, buildings (that exists in reality) and other maps.

How do you make barney sit down on a chair?

What's the name of your map?

Yeah! Where are they!?

Yello everyone! I have small problem, how can I get the textures visable on a door when the door starts in the wall. The textures are just black!

Thanx Marlboro for the very long advice. I found out that the problem was that the triggers must have a bit of space between eachother, or else you'll just end up with loading from one level to another (if the triggers are close to eachother)

P.S.
I think Whoracle, Colony and Clayman are better

Oh, by the way. In what .wad files can I find the other sky textures.
Xen sky and the sky texture where you can see a river

Well, I actually don't know. Never tried it, HIHI

Let's change subject shall we? You can use Counter-Strike WAD-files, they have a much better sky texture.

I placed the landmarks in the same position in both maps. But now I get stuck in the mother*uckin door instead. WILL IT EVER END?!

Oh, by the way I'll post the .rmf file...

YEAH! I've fixed the problem! The level change from "test" to "test2" went very smooth, but now I have another problem. When I want to go back to "test" I get stuck in the floor (again), but this time it's diffrent. I'm kind of hoovering above the floor. WIERD DON'T YOU THINK!

Yes I could.
When I'm about to load map nr.2 I'm suddenly stuck in floor. Here's a little descripton off the trigger_changelevel:
Name change1
New Map Name: test2
Landmark Name: lm1
And the landmark:
Name:lm1

Yo everybody, I have problems with my map. When I start the map it goes just fine, but when I come to changelevel I'm suddenly stuck in the floor. Can anybody help me? PLEEEEEASE!!!
