i was going to tell you how to do it here but its a long process and its something your gona have to figure out yourself. The best tutorial i have found is here : http://countermap.counter-strike.net/Tutorials/tutorial.php?id=20
this tutorial should give you an idea, after that you should be able to figure out how to do a pipe.

I'm a new guy to half life mapping and I've only recently become familiar with Hammer, so some of the deeper features I haven't gotten comfortable with yet. I'm trying to make a map using a series of connected pipes large enough that the players could move around in. The problem shows up when making T intersections and turns. I've tried several techniques using cylinders and carving that look good in the editor, but the results never look right in-game. Does anyone have any experience making pipes like this?
cant find it then, but who knows my hammer doesnt have prefabs either it blows
yeah im sure, i have made some of my own shitty ones like a stool and a plane, but only what i made i got
Guess you mean bandwidth 
there is a carve tool, right click on the object with wich you want to carve and voila! one big hole the size of the object you selected. but beware of its dangers, don't carve complex objects, and cylinders with lots of sides (8 is fine)

How would you cut holes in the ground to make room for a tunnel entrance? The only thing I can think of is to clip around it, but there must be an easier way.
atom doesnt really check the forums cause hes always bizzy with the site and not mapping so send him a mail and he will problrably solve it
watch a bit to much farscape??(looking it now to cause it is on television)

if you havent standard some prefabs you should re-install hammer ore download it again. if you still have the bgu try to contect someone from hammer thereshould be in the readme a adress to contact them if you have problem
Dunno - there's definitely a something_player_equip for knives only, 'cos I used to use it regularly.

thats what i thought.... also how would you equip a downloaded prefab? still would like default ones though...
Well, i havent really looked into this much, for me, i just happened to have the standard halflife prefabs, i think there supposed to come with the program. Ive got hammer 3.4 and also worldcraft 3.3 had them as well.
while i go through the tutorials it sounds like your supposed to alreadu have some prefabs. i dont. is this a setting problem? how could i get some?
thats a no go, theres mapo peramiters but that who can buy, not what you start wiht. also how do you restrict buying a certains wep? (not in map peramiters)
Good point monkey, in fact, this is my 1 billionth login! let's all celebrate ;). Actually the whole discussion is pointless indeed and trying to get your logins up is just bad for twhl's upload.
vassy, knowing you, and your 56k connection (like mine) i doubt youll be able to get into most servers, you just get kicked! (like me) pings too high you see....
i recomend playing cs with PODbot :

This has nothing to do with mapping, but I'd like to know how to play CS, TFC etc WITH people. I've managed to set up games with just me in them, which are no fun, and I'd like to know how to play them with people. I usually go to LAN game, I create a game, set everything up, and I'm playing, but with no-one. 
Please help!
Please help!
Yeah, but it's not exactly posting to get the little number next to your name up
You put in a point entity - think it's game_player_equip. That's pretty much it - default settings for the entity restrain in to knives only (with my FGD, anyway)
If you do, please also write some software to not let you post stuff like this again. Some people would cheat at anything ffs!
how do you make the map so you only start with knives in cs?
Just open and close the window quite often, it should raise your logins to 1000 or so within a matter of hours-minutes. (somebody wants me to write some software? 
)

Yo dude! (Seventh_Monkey), you change your name on IRC like the moon changes shape (I know the moon doesn't really change shape, it's all the effect of the shadow of the earth blocking the light of the sun on the moon!), so what if my spelling is abomalitical! (Probably spelt that wrong! LOL) and I change it from time to time.
From now on I will spell it as Trophy, and not Trophey or Throphy or even Throphey! LOL - If I did say Thro### that was a typo so, cut it out dude!
May I just say, that seeming as you have the trophy in your cabinet (it was a joint effort by the way) I can uderstand you not wanting me to get it!LOL
I hope you all know I was just kidding (above about being mad) I am not really mad (I'm extremely mad - lol), no no, seriously I just wanted to be acknowledged for my work!
See you around Seventh!

Spirit isn't a Mod.... but then again it is... Confused, so was I until I gave it a try.
I too, am surprised that more people don't use it when they build levels, the tools are great, difficult but great. If you have ever mapped for TFC then it isn't quite as difficult as that.
This is probably incorrect but hey? Spirit is a tool that unleashes the abilities of the engine to give you more control over entities. Problem is that to distribute your brilliant map, others have to have spitit to run it. So yeah, it's a Mod, but it isn't. It is just a way of doing things better. That's why I am surprised more people didn't make it the basis of their Mod's.
I am pretty sure that Spirit was used in DoD... and I think NS uses it, but don't Quote me... I have been known to be wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the base idea for some of the stuff in HL2. Either way, you as a user/player of Mods made with Spirit don't really see anything different, unless it's really cool fog or rain, but behind the scenes heaps of stuff is going on. You can make entities move with other entities. A func_train can carry and have a useable func_tank... Guess what, you now have a moving tank that fires, and the turret rotates.
A Mod made with Spirit, does not require the user to have Spirit as it's all in the DLL, but if you are distributing standalone maps.. Then to view them properly, you need spirit.
Does that help?

There is a really basic Level transition in the Security Keys tutorial..
Trophy would be cool, yet do not foresee me getting one without submitting an entry. Will do my best to send one off next round.
Ugliest and most lagged map contest, hmmmm may have a chance if that is a contest subject

Thanks.
hmmm... setting the angle property should work
or try changing the yaw pitch roll property
to get sequences like these to work i usually do this, which in theory should work for you.
you have your sci. lets call him 'foggy' no quotes please
and your scripted_sequence call it puller for handyness sake.
check the 'prisoner' flag in the scientist, that'l stop him from pulling all the chickensht scientist stuff...
scripted_sequence next,
right, in the idle animation put in ventpullidle2
and in the action animation put on ventpull or whatever..
set the move to position property to Instantaneous
now the sci should start at the scripted_sequence and loop the idle animation untill the scripted_sequence is triggered by something, at which point the sci will perform the action animation... hang on a bit and check the example maps section, i'll have the map ready in a bit...

ffs is it TROPHY not TROPHEY or THROPHEY or anything else! lol!
John_Crichon and I had the same problem in our competition entry, so we had to make a monster follow some path_corners instead - no help to you, though, sorry ;(
What, is that as high as they go?
Yeah, I did like your map vassy, but ummm, I did use god mode second time over to get to the end - I am a bit of a cheater - LOL.
Still no sign of a trophey - well I'll be damned!!!
Atom, if your reading this, please understand that I would only like the trophey so that I can say - look - I won this compo! It doesn't have to be all technically linked does it??
Anyway - thanks All
Goodluck Vassy with mappin, if you carry on at your age you will be awesome in a couple of years (my age)!!!

I am quite new to using the Valve Hammer Editor. I have version 3.4 and I have recently become very stuck-I am trying to get a scene in my map where a scientist is being dragged into a ventilation shaft by a zombie-but I cannot get the animation ventpullidle2 to loop smoothly-the scientist plays the animation once-and then when it is finished he stands up for a few seconds, and then plays the animation again. I have tried everything to make the animation loop smoothly without him getting up (like in the game) but it simply won't loop! I am using the aiscripted_sequence entity. I have tried using the scripted_sequence entity- it is the only way I can get the animation ceiling_dangle to play-but the scientist always plays the animation round the wrong way (facing inside the vent) and still won't loop. Could someone please tell me how to get animations such as ventpullidle2 to loop correctly and/or how to get the scripted_sequence animations to play the right way round-I have changed the angle on the object but it just won't seem to turn the animation round. sorry for making this so long. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
good thought. at the mo the contest system is a bit inflexible, but since i'll be redesigning it anyway (for the next contest), I think that's a good idea for a feature...
Heh, that'll teach you!
heh, 500 already! i'll have to think up some more
Skeeve just wants a trophy desperately 
Due to real life stuff, it has been a while since I have logged on. First thing I noticed was the CS Guide. The current contest entries are great. Its really nice to see such an active online community.
Oh while I am here, atom you may want to create a trophy to represent a team effort win. This is not meant to downgrade a team entry, for it takes more planning and communication to put something together as a team.
Having a trophy set that represents a team entry winning, will let users know there are more than one person to credit for the entry. Not suggesting a new entry class, just a trohpy class.
Just a thought.

I survived it, fair and square! Maybe I'm just too good
Hi, this message is mainly for atom.
Hi Atom, as you know me and Seventh_Monkey entered the trapped map compo as a joint entry, and well, won!!
I am very pleased that you included both our names on the winners page, but (and I hope not to sound picky) Seventh_Monkey has the tropy in his trophy cabinet (under his user) and I don't.
I was wondering if it were possible for both of us to have that trophy, so people can see that I won if they look at my stats!
Thanks, hope you can help,
John_Crichton

Yeah, I spent at least a couple hours converting my map though
Perhaps thats why I didnt even rank

I want the RMF! I can't get the damn zip file to extract. Lousy frickin' computer...
If there are spaces in the map name, try taking them out.
