DAMM HAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It won`t let my vlick on the TO FACE thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I use rotate and fit in the textur applicaiton all the time.

CAn I put A screen shot in this?

rotaing don`t work here (wish it did.It would make it easy)as it puts the conroll panal upside down to high up to look relistic.Thanks for trying.I should have made it clearer

I know how to rotate as I use it alot on tracks.But if something is back to front(like a mirro image ,how can I make it right?

sry for mispellings.

MY main problem is still there after days and I got woken up at like 02:00 AM cause of my sister`s DAMM alarm Clock and then I get told how to make a catwalk when that was not the topic.
On the other hand I am happy that I got HL working (If only under XP) and made a working scanner which Barney usees to open an airlock door that closes behind you but not when you are on the wrong side and that wasa thanks to those who gave me ansews.So thanks to them I only have this one Big problem with map L1P1 in the map vault.

how I make the arrows on door (C1AOB_DR4B) point the other way?

Where I get HLMV from?

Then just say Killer, don`t just add ramdom numbers

Yes but I still want a full list of aminations for furture use.
In the tutorial it said that a full list could be found at planet half life.
But it didnot have a link.

I have done the catwalk days ago.
All I need for this post is the NAME of the ammenaitoin or the ardress of Planet Half life as is the tutorial it said there was a full list there!

thanks

how you use IRC?
It says "The page cannot be displayed" to me.

If it took more than one mapper to make HL who will help me.No one i know plays HL.

How I put screen shots in posts?

Also do not like HL muilty player cause evey 5 seconds someone shoots me.Single players more fun I think.

AND TYPE MY NAME RIGHT

WRONG PROBLEM!THIS ONE IS FOR MAKEING BARNEY USE THE SCANNER NOT HOW DO I MAKE A CAT WALK THAT I FIXED DAYS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I need to know now is what amminaitoin do I need?

And I do not make muity player maps yet.I want to make my series 1st.pls can someone fix my map L1P1 in the map vault.I have tried to fix it but failed!

Hammer 3.4

Al so about the qution "have you made any maps before?" I have made a few topics about various things like Texture names needed ect

yes been makeing maps for a few weeks.However this is my 1st map that I am makeing to be a long series high detail sounds ect.
made lots of maps just for getting used to Hammer.
Only had this today.
BUT it works on my XP comp but no longer works on my Win 98 comp.
Oh well I can get back to makeing my maps after 6 hours of this problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that didn`t work.
Is installing hammer and HL on an Win XP computer instead of a Win 98 computer a bit extream?

thanks

how you do that?It is not muilti player as i said.

no errors. no crash.Screen goes black at end of complie for about 1 second then back to the complie screen.

done that still don`t work.Is the complie not the problem?is it something els?
heres a copy of my new complie.

Ther must be textures I can use that come with the game.It has been done in HL single player.like for vents and where there is a pipe under the floor that has a cover to stop you / players / AI falling down.But how you make it work propley?

I tried here and I could just see though it.When I only whant to see parts of it.

thanks.I will try that.

Acturaly the problem is tied up with the one I just fixed.Thanks to your help.However I still have failed to make at proper catwalk!I am going to try to fix this one now I can test the map.

This is unfair!If I do what is surgested it don`t work.but if I use my backup before i did that it does work.But now I am back to the orignale problem.oh well at least I don`t have to start again.

should I put it in the map vault mayby?

and what are threads?

1 prob.The map this is for is the same map that i whant metal mesh for which is also in the Forums.There is big prob that i have got there.I spent 2 hours this morning trying to fix it and got nowhere.Still trying as all the maps I am makeing with names like L1P1 , L2P4 so on will be conected eventally.There will be lots of maps and I have not got the 1st 2 finised or working propley right now.

I get box saying "HL has prefored an illiegal operaition"

To make the map again it would take ages.The map is in the map vault under problem maps as L1P1.I will try those surgetions.Thanks

Still don`t work on 90000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mode is Direct 3D

thanks I will try thet tomorow.
