hammer 3.5b + cs 1.6 = GHEY! Created 20 years ago2004-08-25 14:09:00 UTC by rat808

i just set up my hammer 3.5 to cs 1.6. never done that b4, i just used to compile into cs 1.5, but i wanted to see the models. ok i extracted all the cstrike shit from the counter-strike.cgf with the help of cgfScape.
and now when i try to compile my map it works, but when it trys to load in cs 1.6 it freezes and i have to turn off my comp.. i also tried to load the map without hammer on and it still freezes cs. do i need to move some models or sprites or something to the hammer folder?? any ideas would greatly be appreciated..

Aloha dudes.

no idea. unfortunately i have no experience with cs mapping or seeing models in the viewer (the models took too much time to do and i uninstalled cs and swore an oath against it, ysee...)

sounds like ur missing sumthing cause mine freezes wenever its missing sumthing and usually wen it freezes for me i bring up console to see whats the matter and it tells u whats wrong k

well thanks alot. i coulda wrote that dialog..:( anymore help? i desperately need to fix this or my map will never finish in 2 weeks

Not a clue. Reinstall Windows and it'll almost certainly work, but apart from that, sorry, nada.

My comp freezes when the .bsp and other related files aren't put in the correct folders. Maybe the associated files you found in your 1.5 folder and aren't in 1.6. Maybe hammer is putting the .bsp in 1.5 and you're trying to play it in 1.6....

no thats not it! i think i need to put the models in the valve folder too. its a little touchy. ill make my map before i reformat my computer again.. damn piece of unholy IBM shit!

well thanks for you help

Models need to go in the game directory models folder, so unless you're HL mapping, they don't need to go there. If everything is setup for CS properly in Hammer, they should only be required in cstrikemodels. You can specify the game dir in your hammer options, check to make sure it's correctly set there.

yes, for cstrike 1.6, hammer needs to be like so:

i thought the @ got in the way!

It often does, and the Windows-included program SUBST is useful for this. Type subst /? at a DOS prompt for syntax.

now am i sapose to setup Hammer 3.5b on cs 1.6 with this screen up here. and instead of putting the valve directory to "counter-strikevalve"
put it to "steamappsemailcounter-strike?" not to sure on 1.6. such a big pain in the ass! not like 1.5.

Should be SteamAppsem@i.lcounter-strikevalve and cstrike.

where do the wad files have to be ??? : cuz i just reinstalled steam, cs1.6, and hammer 3.5b

oh ya! when i extract all my gcf files where do i put them? do i put em in counter-strike?

Doesn't matter. I wouldn't put them in a Steam directory as they'll slow down precaching times. They're only for your use, so you can put them pretty much anywhere.
