/me waits for flamefest.

Welcome, tommot8888, to a little place called TWHL.

In case you haven't quite noticed, to the right of my post exists a menu, with several links.

I guess you can find what you are looking for in the tutorials section, which is destined to newbie and expert mappers alike.

Hope you enjoy your stay and stop making topics like this one!

Best regards,

MiN3R

Sounds like you need to learn about basic clipping and vertex manipulation.

Start with these,
http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=18
http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=83

You can find more in the Half-Life Tutorials section.

When you master or expreince them. You can make any shape you want. Trees, complex buildings, cars etc.

It may take some time to master them.

If you are looking for something free, here is a map with some car prefabs.

Don't forget to credit the author when you use them.

As for the making of sky/enviroment, check this tutorial.

I'm not sure I'd tell anybody to start out by reading a tutorial on vertex manipulation, although if he already knows the basics (it doesn't sound like he does to me) then I suppose that might be okay.

But yeah, just by looking through the tutorials yourself, you should be able to find everything you need.

And MiN3R, It's actually to the left of your post. ;)

um i didnt get any of that, i still dont know how to MAKE cars(moving that you can drive), and i really dont have that many texture (i dont have the 'sky' texture) plus:dont know how to make water

sigh

READ THE TUTORIALS

We have tutorials on how to make water and skyboxes. Read them.

The SKY texture is in halflife.wad, and zhlt.wad. Load either one of them.

As for drivable cars (it's not our fault you weren't more specific), I believe there's some tutorials on them at other CS-specific sites. Somebody here may know how they work, too.

I do, but as I'm not in the mood for giving a full-fledged explanation on how they work.

Snarkpit tutorial: http://www.snarkpit.net/editing.php?page=tutorials&game=HL&id=111

Btw, read EVERYTHING and CAREFULLY.
Although, by the sounds of your mapping experience, you should be practicing make cube maps w/o leaks that you can actually walk around in. =P

thanks for all these tutorials but a reminder

*making this for CS, not source, not half-life, just counterstrike. i do not have half-life.

i still dont have a texture for the sky.
(zlht.wad doesnt have sky testures and i dont have halflife.wad. im also using cstrike.wad but that doesnt have sky either(my zhlt.wad only has three textures,hint, null and skip*which are all just the the first letter of hte word))

**havnt answered if i can make it for cs:cz
Posted 17 years ago2007-07-23 22:05:54 UTC Post #230070
just use the cs fgd, and place the maps in your cz directory. I map for cz and no real changes are necisary. works the same way.

Then post in the proper forum with relevant information!
i still dont have a texture for the sky.
(zlht.wad doesnt have sky testures and i dont have halflife.wad)
Then get it. How hard is it to google "halflife.wad"?
**havnt answered if i can make it for cs:cz
As crazy as it may sound, some people have actually tried putting compiled .bsp files in their czero/maps folder.

But for now, I seriously suggest you read, then re-read this.

Counter-Strike uses the same engine as Half-Life. The tutorials still apply.
i still dont have a texture for the sky.

What version of ZHLT are you using? If you've got 3.4 (the latest and last version) from here, you will have it in the WAD. No need to download the entire Half-Life WAD illegally just to get a single texture.

For cars: http://www.countermap2.com/Tutorials/tutorial5255.html?id=9

Cars are woefully crap in CS, I'd think twice before adding them to your map. Dunno if they work in CZ.

hey i have problems with compiling I READ AND RE_READ THE TUTORIAL but when i try to run the game it says "could not find filesystem dll to load." when i following the configurations i tried to change everything to czero idk but it also said that everything was under the SIERRA folder (i have the anthology which IS NOT sierra) im totally confused

EDIT: this is just a map to see if i could make them move around and stuff very small. but back on subject it also said i needed cstrike.exe (or czero.exe? but i do not hav3e it i only have halflife.exe for some reason :(
