The Source SDK Created 17 years ago2007-01-10 18:35:39 UTC by digital_ice

Hello guys, its been a while (a very long while)

thought i'd get back to playing with mapping again, but this time with source. and i have a question.

When i make brushes, nothing appears in the camera view. I've rotated the view, zoomed the veiw, but all i see is a black square.... in GoldSrc hammer, whenever I made a brush i could see it, hideously textured in what ever i currently had selected.

Am i missing something quite obvious??

Select the camera tool and drag a line in the 2D view.

This has baffled so many people, including myself.

ahhhhhhhhhhh! cheers.

damnit, now im getting filesystem_steam.dll errors... bloody hammer. got to try and remember how to load maps outside of hammer now :S

Easy.

Load up the game your mapping for, bring down the console (with the ~ key) and type 'map mapname' (without the '). If the console doesn't come down, go to options > controls > keyboard > advanced (or something similar) and tick "Enable tilde console something or rather" (not at home, so I can't remember the exact name).

its actually the compiling bsps that i always forget, the lovely batch file method lol.
