Alright. I haven't mapped for a really long time. Then I got some source games. And Source SDK.
The problem is, I can't start Hammer. Everytime I try to open it, it says 'No game configurations to run with', and I don't see anywhere to fix that. The engine version is 'The Orange Box', and it doesn't let me pick a game from the pulldown list.
Can someone help me fix this? I'd appreciate it.
EDIT: A more clear explanation, there isn't anything in the pulldown menu for 'Current Game'. I can't even pull it down, it's a solid box. I have Half-Life 2 and Garry's Mod, but they aren't listed.

So, uh, who won?
The current Goldsource hammer is 3.5, but that's the beta and some people find 3.4 better.
I read somewhere else that Hammer 4.0 is used in HL2 mapping, but that was a long time ago and it's probably false.

Well I did, but I was in the middle of class.
I can't really comment on it so far, Wildcat- I'll need to see more information or maybe a screenshot or two when production begins.

Wait, hold up, I can explain that.
The light has a target because it used to target the ceiling. I forgot why I removed it.
And no, I textured the room after hollowing it and clipped the sides. I just say it's a clone because they're exactly the same.
I'll try deleting it and I'll copy the other wall.

Man...
I completely finished my map, tried to compile it, Hammer crashes on me and DELETES IT.
That's what I get for not keeping backups.

No, you don't use a trigger_camera for that.
All I know is the only mirror effect is possible in Spirit.

Are you telling me to post a picture that I can't post because the link to it broke, therefore making it impossible to post?
...wow.
I'll go play defaults.cfg, now.

No, no.
All Goldsource mods to my knowledge use .bsp files. .cfg are configuration files.
And I have Sven-Coop and I make maps for it. You need .bsp files.

What do you mean by 'Can't load or save my maps then it crashes'? Do you mean Hammer won't save the map, or you're getting a 'Cannot find (name).bsp in Half-Life, or what?
I know, this is a real noobish question, but since I JUST realized I had ZHLT 1.6 :death:, I downloaded the final version recently, 3.4 or something.
I understand what all the textures do except for one- what does bevel do? I've got no idea.
Thanks in advance.

Norton is poop? o_O
No, I aint, becouse I'm using the ?ber 1337 Norton Internet Security 2006.It is a proven fact that all versions of Norton are full of suck and fail.
Get Avast. I picked up way more stuff than Norton ever did. And Norton finds nothing.
CONTRADICTION!

Hmm, I was thinking of looking at that, because I could've sworn there was an option for that.
But in my laziness I looked at aiscripted_sequence instead.

you absolutely cannot get a virus without running it. a virus cannot activate itself.Never said it was active. My scanner picks them up.
The name of the scripted_sequence, and the time in value.
I'm just going to use an example of what I think you are using, WITH MY OWN NAMES!:
barn_opendoor 0
lab_door 4
barn_walkaway 5
So with it set up like that, when the multimanager is triggered, barney will open the door and walk off.
Sorry if you can't read it that well. I haven't got much sleep lately.

If you're using a multimanager, which you should be, just add the new scripted_sequence at a later time, preferably AFTER the door opens.
Another scripted_sequence without an action triggered after he opens the door.
What you're calling "viruses" are actually tracking cookies, which are harmless. They may show up in a virus scan, but they're just deleted every time you clean out your browser's cache.Viruses and cookies are different things. I use 'Ask every time' for cookies on Firefox and deny the majority of everything. Cookies? No. Viruses? Sometimes.
False! I don't have any antivirus software or viruses.Viruses are downloaded in VERY small quantities through page views or cookies. And they save you the ease of clicking on them by activating themself.
As long as you don't run random exes you get from porn sites and other such stupid stuff you'll be fine.
All if not most viruses are self-replication programs, while running it adds to it's own data, therefore corrupting files with a string of code.
Or you can go, 'HUR DE HUR LET'S CLICK ON MYDOOM.EXE'.
very nice skin textureYeeeeeeaaaaah.
No, he's really saying that if you win, you pay him to use your map.
Yep, Chickenfist. I downloaded the new updated archive and it works fine now.
I am. Working on a level right now, too. I'll have to change the trigger_set_camera when you release the new WON-compatible, though.
Hmm, it might be because I'm using it on WON. I deleted the old version and replaced with the new update again, but I'm still getting errors.
Srry and I could act as representatives of Steam play and WON play.
I am running 1.1.1.0, though, so it couldn't be an .exe update problem. All said, I'm basically running the latest Half-Life, though I did read in the Readme that it should work with Half-Life 1.1.1.0.
EDIT: I'd have to say the latest release is incompatible with the WON version of Half-Life.

I did. I had the old .dll files and the hl2d folder in my HL directory, copied the new ones over. I'm getting that message.
As soon as I opened it, I got:
'Could not load library .../hl2d/cl_dlls/client.dll'
'Could not load library .../hl2d/cl_dlls/client.dll'
First off, I can't quote right. So here goes. >_>
1. The monster was a monster_zombie- I had walked up to it on accident and couldn't move away until I killed it.
2. My bad, it wasn't an ammo box. It was the 80x48x48 foot locker prefab in the Crates list.
3. Oops, it was a test map, though...

Forgot to mention some bugs you probably already know about:
- Sometimes the player has trouble turning when there is a monster right in front of him.
- I kept getting stuck on an ammo box I could jump over in a test map.
- Headcrabs in my test map seemed to be limited to a certain square radius and couldn't jump out fully.
- Grunts don't follow 2D, but you probably don't have them implemented yet.
- The shotgun in 2D form rocks.
I already made a map that'll stay on my computer, but yeah, I'd map for this.
I was thinking, since Chickenfist made a great mod recently, that so maps could be found easily in the Map Vault, to change the ? for HL2D maps to some sort of 2D with a background color instead, for example, how Half-Life maps use the HL symbol with orange background, so maybe 2D with a white background.
If you haven't seen HL2D yet, it's in the 'Maps and Mods' section of the forums in 'Flat-Life HL2D'.
That's just my idea.

It looks like you need area access privileges. Are you using a limited account?
I just downloaded this mod yesterday and I've got to say, it's one of the most fun I've played or mapped in for a while.
(I made a test map to test some of the features. >_>)
I've also got tons of .MOD files laying around my computer sleeping from other games I used to work with, I'd say around 20-50 different .MOD files.
If you want any, I'll need a site to upload some to so you could hear them.

I've got a few prefabs that I made a while back that I think would be a pretty good addition. If TWHL takes prefabs, where should I look? If not, where should I put them? Thanks.
I was working on a new DM map for the orignal Half-Life, and I had just finished a great looking, extremely detailed country house using textures from Firearms and HL. BUT! After I finished the house and the yard, including the driveway, it just went downhill from there. The hill because looking square and giant hedges surrounding the arena made no sense. My river was practically a huge square flooding an unclimbable riverbank. The bridge looked like square with rails on it, the town... I'm not even getting into the town.
Anyone have ideas on how to improve this? I've tried Gensurf and 'Nem's Mega 3D Landscaper' or whatever it's called, but it always ends up way too big or not what I'm looking for. 8 triangles do not make 10480x10480 squares in my mind, but it seems to here.
But still, ideas? Motivation? Thanks.

Yeah, that tutorial didn't really cover it, but that helped, Urban and Ghetto.
A problem with my scripted_sentences, this time. I obviously don't do a lot of single-player mapping.
I'm trying to get a barney and scientist to talk to each other once the barney sees the player. That part works fine, but parts of speech triggered by the multi_manager are late or often not even playing. All sentences are set up correctly. What is delaying them? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Ironically, I didn't check the tutorials first... This can be deleted.

Is your screen resolution 1024x768?
That made it work perfectly. Thanks, Urbanebula and Daubster.
Are your buttons targetting anything? If so, are those targets name correctly?
Yeah, it plays every other scripted level right.
Would this have something to do with me adding model support to my editor? I'm sure I have the old boundries not intersecting anything
Urbanebula: That might work, too. I'll try that tonight...

I haven't mapped for about 6 months, so even though I boast superb mapping skills... it's collapsed far from what I used to be. I apologize for bragging.
My problem is this: in one of my single-player maps, when compiled and played straight from the editor, the G-man works fine and performs his actions. When played through Half-Life itself, the G-man seems to ignore his scripts and just stands there. None of my NPCs are doing their scripted_sequences ingame, only when compiled. What's causing this? A solution would really help me.

Wow. Thanks.
Though I'm a pretty experienced mapper, I've never actually gotten around to making cliffs, or even decent-looking caves. When I attempt to make cliffs or caves, they come out fake-looking and crappy.
Does anyone have any tips on sculpting cliffs and caves? Even a tutorial? Thanks.

I'm hearing this has something to do with the directory of hl.exe. We need need some help.
