Yeah, that's right: cordon tool deleted most of my map. It's weird that I had never noticed that cordon tool can be actually used to annihilate your map, except the area you defined in the cordon area...

Only thing I did was selecting the area I specifically wanted to compile. Then I saved, started compiling but it failed because of a invalid object in the map (I used cordon to debug my map). Then Hammer crashed and when I got back, the whole map was gone.

I'm here just to warn people but if someone actually got an idea how to retrieve my map except by decompiling or digging it up from the RAM (too late now, I'm pretty sure) I would be gratious.

I prefer env_render. Does it affect to solids?
Edit: I see that env_render does not have modulate spawnflag, but env_fade does. You meant it instead?

Well I am so far to finding the truth I think I can cope with this myself.
Thanks for the tips both of you 8D

Hmm...just popped into my mind. light_environment ? Must try since I cannot recall the exact function of it...
Edit: It absolutely cannot be that one ;D

Once upon a time I played a map where you had to go into a teleport.
You were teleported into the xen world and suddenly everything
flashed into red. Sky, other solids and the players turned red. They were not fully red rendered as I could see the texture. It was like the whole map had become hell and soon everything became normal again in fade style. What was that? How could I do that? Only thing I can say is that it certainly was not env_fade!

What are they? Why does my map say that not precached?

How to make a func_recharge which is empty in the beginning of the map and does not charge itself to be usable. I really mean the func, not button and a sound or something like that.

Tried that and I still didn't get it. There doesn't seem to be any target for the func_turret, no targetname for monster_turret and there are so many other entities around so I cannot get any sense of them.

How to make a func_turret, which has the following attributes:
1. Would cast a laser.
2. The laser would guide a monster_turret
3. The monster_turret would shoot when the func_turret's trigger is pulled.

I saw this kind of system in the Hazard Couse map of the Todesangst mod.

And I tried to use batch compile

It makes the .bsp in my hammer/maps directory and then I copy it to Mod/maps directory.

It doesn't work if I set it on 0 or anything else

Nope

Nothing seemed to work so I added lights and when that did not work I took them off. Then I changed the world spawn. AND NOTHING WORKS
So it cannot be neither worldspawn's nor too many light entity's fault :

I'm not sure but if you tried to target the multimanager to itself?

I can't get this any more...my map keeps being full bright...here is my compile log. For extra information I have put worldspawn def. light level to 50. Also I have added extra light entities in a place where they dont bother me.

How to make monsters that gain their health back when shot?

I read about crysis' problem about respawning target range targets and it seemed that it is not possible to make them in Counter-Strike: Condition Zero

Is it possible in ordinay Half-Life to make destroyed walls etc.
respawning back after a while?

Hmm...was I blind or...? I dunno but I couldn't find the fully CPU operated tank (if I made the last message bit a messy, I meant the non-soldier & non-player controllable tank)

How can I make a computer controlled func_tank or tankrocket that shoots towards a target or even players?
Now I mean a turret that is not operated by a soldier...

BTW how to make turret operated by a soldier?

LoL...I never really map but I like to read ppl's mapping ideas and stuff

OmG O_o

Well, I saw one player making a G-Man that followed me everywhere with ENT MOD
I think it is possible with map editor if it is possible with ent mod

I could make it with zombie...But I want in invulnerable and when you hit the creature there comes only few sparks...just like with the real G-Man...and there shouldn't come neither any zombish snarls nor alien blood!
How to do?

How can I make a G-Man that just follows every player it sees?
(And I really mean monster_gman not a zombie with a G-Man model)

Is it possible to make a func_mortar_field without the control panel? I am not sure if I made one ages ago but now I just cannot manage to make it

A friend of mine told me that some mods can be played on dedicated server after trying to play few mods in multiplayer.
Is this true? Is there any way to play some mods in listen server?

omg now it says bad surface extent

Hmm....how can that be.....you see that SubTV logo in the upper right corner?...how can you watch finnish tv-channel in Sweden?

Ops it wasn?t ...hehehe....got it when I looked the pictures ;DD

I think this thing is about that

Ohhh..the PERKELE card....it means GODDAMN very well translated

Lol..I got 38

Those can be found at bulgarian market as I did

Make mod where players act G-man
(My favorite: G-man (Cool person))

I just wonder how much some people might have log-ins in here.
So tell me how much you got!

Nonononono.....I compiled it and it changes the map automatically from nothing to that de_distance. Why is that de_distance.bsp wrong directory? What do you mean with that anyway? :

Okay. I have submitted one of this kind of post earlier and the question is the same but this time with another map.
I made a new map and when it was ready I compiled it and then there reads in the console in Cs:
map change failed. map "de_distance" couldn't be found on the server.

WHAATT IISS WROOONNNNGGG????

Oh I think I got it...I put the func_button in the wall somewhere and make a brush that looks like a button but it actually only explodes.
With that multimanager I kill the func_button and explode the button brush!

What are the red dots sometimes seen before the post topic?

But I would fancy that the button explodes in pieces!

How can I make buttons which explode after they have been used?

Let us make this the longest forum topic ever!
(At least on this forum)
COME ON!!! WRITE SOMETHING IN HERE

Let's see if this works.....

All the .bsp and other my map files have disappeared from CS maps folder!

What's the program which you made that with?

I'll tell my "story" in parts so you people can get a clue what's happening:

-First I made a map
-Then I compiled it
-Played the map
-Then I added extra objects in my map
-Then I compiled
-AND THEN IT SAID CANNOT FIND MAP!!

What's wrong?? This has happened me sometimes before and couldn't solve the thing
(Don't say that it's the extra objects which made this mess because it is not their fault)

WOW! A GIRL!

MORE POST IN HERE!!!FASTER!!!FASTER!!!!

I don't know if {blue is null texture but I made one way glass with it

What does that "NULL" mean??
I know that it means something like "nothing" but what is null texture or anything referring to "NULL"?? :

lol....this my "picture" is screwed...:D
but I'll try again: = is windows ......is just empty space

This is the side.............=
