What if you didn't update CS 1.5 to Steam and had Steam install a new version(1.6) undependent of CS 1.5, will you still have .pak file hidden somewhere?

LOL... I can't belive i didn't know that, So simple, Now i will know that for all of the future. Thanks zeeba-G !

I am trying to do an elevetor wich you push, then you move up in to a teleporter and move away to another place, the thing is i can't make the elevator go back on its own. I did fool around for a while with buttons and multimanagers but didn't get it to work it would just go up and wouldn't come back down.(this map is for counter strike and must have the abbility to come back down on it's own so that more players will be able to use it). Any thoughts?

hahaha you know pretty much everything don't you THX !!

still when i get to the push field i get sucked down and pushed forward instead of up

how do you set the trigger_push entitie to push upp ?

oooooh crap... when i ty it out for steam it says "Mod_loadBrushModel: map/juppz.bsp has vrong version number (0 should be 30)"

cool thanks... (woohoo i can map again)

Ehhhh. trapt that didn't work so well for me. when i pushed the go! button it totaly got screwed and forced my computer to restart in the matter of less than 1 sec, and that scared the living snot out of me...
however RabidMonkey suggested and uppgrade but i do not not know where the files like VIS, RAD, WAD files are located in the Steam folder so anyone of you have a guide to that, that would be great...

Ok this is Bullcrap I push alt+p to check for problems but it says "no errors were found" when i get in to cstrike 1.5 (after compiling)wich the map is for it says "Map change failed map "juppz" not found on server" but there are no errors and no problems in the compile log, dude !?!?

Thx to 7thMonkey i got enteties to work. But now i get a totaly unknow error and i don't know how to fix it, I use -Valve Hammer 3.4 with Zoners tools this is what happen...

plz ignore the funny names of my stuff

Also the windows goes black instead of being transparent, help me !

Anyone know where i can find a webpage with the "cl_skyname" + pictures of them for Day of Defeat?... I really dont want to open 1000 maps just to se the skies name!

I've seen there HUGE origin brushes in .eg cars for Counter-Strike, my point is how does the brush and i know what is the front and back of it? so it will be in the right possition when it starts and not backwards?(path_corner 1 ~ start pointing to path_corner 2)?

I cant change my avatar.... i "choose upload" new but the old one is still there it wont change help me !

In the half-life/valve/pak0/skill.cfg are u able to change the health and damage on monsters,weapons,scientists more... is there a skill.cfg for Team Fortres Classic and if where is it located ?

You probably have a fault that creates a leak when u dtart a map some moving objekt is wrong placed, it happend to me sometimes !

och n?r jag ska anv?nda den, s?g: scripted_sentence s? ska det vara sound1.wav p? st?llet som det st?r ?r t.ex !gm_choose1 p??
(vad ska namet p? ljudet vara i worldcraft map editorn)?
half-life/valve/sound/ambience/sound1.wav ?r ganska l?ngt

ok ok ok ok ok ok
lets say i put sound1.wav file in my valve folder then when i'm making a map how do i find the sound1.wav in worldcraft cuz in pak0 it had like a name "x_sound1" wich it do find, but will it locate sound1.wav outside pak0 ? ? ?

duh... no ...
reinstall hl = my only option ?

i useed wally and i made "add a folder" or something but it was not acceptable and i had to get rid of it then it happend

Yooo! me was doing some sentences on my own aight
now the "sentences" file in the pak0 has gone from a readme to a .file file and i cant get any sounds at all how do i change it back to normal !? !? !?

sry dont know that stuff :

really.. try it outside of Worldcraft/Hammer start the game normal way and start the map u'll get some status bar

yes, yes but when you used the command it was called !gm_choose1 there is no such thing just root/sounds/gman/gm_choose1.wav and that was not found when i tryed it i worte gm_choose1 in that place where the sentence is !!!! save me !

I dowlnloaded the map from map vault called 131.zip (scripted_sentance)
and i wanted to try other sentances but you could not hit on smart edit and i dont know where the senances are plz tell me.. And i was wondering if you can make your own sentances maybee in .wav ? ? ?

how about u make a func_train over the breakable and lay the guns on the "elevator" and when u break the breakable the "elevator will come down and the elevator is flaged not solid !? You understand ?

I've tried that with a multi_manager and that stuff but i have worked it out another way alreddy thx anyway !

sry guys none of that stuff worked for me...

if someone know exacly how to do it please give me a good description
of how to make it work.

What if i would like to trigger gravity after about 1 min so the gravity would be lower and you could fly around.. I made a trigger_gravity brush
and "delay before trigger" 60(also tried 600 and 6000) but the gravity is on when i start the map how to fix it ? ! ? !

clone that one and flip it upsidedown (ctrl+m) and put em together you might get some thing

i NEVER read the read me's they are usualy so boring and full of bull*
...peace out

Make a block wich looks the same on all views x/y, z/y etc then click the red arrow the "selection tool" click the block so it is red then Options -> make hollow and select how thick the walls should be minimum is 2 there you go add the entities "info_player_start" and "light" and feel free to run arround !!!1

use the hollow tool who cares if its a sin or whatevah

when you well made a surface it and saved it, it is .srf file not sure what it's called but how to import it to a .rmf or .map so you may use it in worldcraft ? ?

Is it possible to have 2 entities at the exact same possition so that they are triggered at the same place at the same time without that worldcraft crashes ? ?

read this and you will see my point http://cariad.co.za/twhl/forums.php?pgt=1&action=viewthread&id=1321&pg=1

Litsen maybee it is just me but anyway...
i made a small emergensy light or wtf it's called and tied it to func_rotating_func_rotating in hope that i would spinn like hell but when i tried to start the map Valve hammer editor got really pissed and screamed LEAK even though it was floating in the air in a SOLID room
then it hung up and made Windows crash !!! OMG !!! (so dont try this at your home) Im telling you it is dangerous to mix stuff.

nonono the clip brush works like a people fence u cant walk thru it but can shoot thru it trust me i know i got banged by awp at spawn when i test runned one of my maps with a block with the clip texture as a wall so you "wouldn't" be able to spawn kill eachother...
any other ideas ?

How to get a solid wall that u cant shoot thru, but see thru ? ? ?

dudududu solved !! !! !thx to all of you (feel proud) !

dunno but open http://cariad.co.za/twhl/mapvault_map.php?id=456&dl=1 and have a look at em

and how do i get rid of the buyzone ?

yes

I know once my hl really screwed up and i got to be a character from TFC in regular half-life single player with guns and all quiet amusing

where should the Player_weaponstrip be locaded about exaclty where because my player was not stripped he got a glock for start when i putted it right in to the info_player_start....

+game_player_equip was wierd too !! properties was "name + game master" !! said nothing about guns. (help me please)

when u do a armory_entity and write "weapon_knife" and make a go it switches back to mp5 Why ? and how do i get the knife ONLY ? no glock or usp
