Let's compare PC specs!
Please keep it to topic, I'm researching the average specifications

Mine:

AMD Athlon 2400+ (XP)
512MB DDR (333MHz)
GeForce4 440MX at 4xAGP
73GB HDD

Press Alt+P in Hammer, delete the invalid brushes: don't scrap teh map!

lol, I won't bother

WAIT A SECOND!
Zombie, you know about creating rotating lights, but you don't know how to texture a brush!?!?!

Did I misunderstand your question??

Use Hammer's Texture Application tool. Read about it in Hammer's reclusive help File: Help>Help Topics>User's Guide>Texturing Solids.

Also, I would highly recommend the 'In the Beginning' tutorials on this site.

Denny's has pretty decent milkshakes
The program is called MilkShape by chUmbaLum sOft, and it's available here:
http://www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft/

As for a decompiler, I assume you me for .bsp files. I've never used it, but you could try WinBSPC, available here, among other places: http://www.slackiller.com/hlprograms.htm

I'm surprised you're making maps, I can't find a single flipping FA internet game

king, the link worked
69th vlatitude

got a great tut here : http://www.vlatitude.com/tutorials.php?tutID=30

"perfectly done?" meaning what?

umm just search for milkshape 3d on google.
and decompiler i use (newly found) winbspC

well newer games then, ME owns

i agree 98 the best for all the old decent games.

where can i get a decompiler and a program i think its called milkshake some thing to do with re-texturing models ????

Ithink that would be a good idea. some tips dont rotate objects unless they are perfectly done thats probaly why you got you coplanar plane error.Also try reading some of the tutorials trust me they really help

umm this time it didnt say it didnt find the file but mapchange failed:

ahhh thank you very much

func_rotatings. Me an' Cpl. 'ere'll set j00 up an example map in the next half an hour.

That's the first Bush

Post the whole log here - might be incorrect compile tool settings.

lol at the avatar steinin

Hmmmm interesting. check that all your conigs are set to your vlave maps folder especially place maps in folder before running one. If that doeas not work check out the tutorials i am sure i have read something about it in there.

I have a very vaugue idea on how these work but does anybody know how to do them proporly ??

lol hilarious

Yeah here's another stupid question asked by me!
When i compile hl-maps(HL not cs) using ZHLT i get the error: "windows kan inte hitta filen"(Windows can not find the file) and then "map change failed: mapname not found on server."
I've checked config, it says C:Spelsierrahalf-lifevalvemaps like it should!

ok ill try that in my next(first?) map

ah ok thanks

how do you make different textures on different sides on a brush ? for example a box should be white on 1 side blue on another and so on
how?

yay!

Elite Force 2 was awful, nowhere near as good as the original. Theres only 3 recognisable characters, compared to the entire crew of Voyager. The music sounded like a midi file they downloaded off the net, and then reversed and changed all the instruments to that stupid guitar noise. The gameplay is bland and monotonous, theres no real excitement as everything is predictable.

Overall they took the game and made it something you'd expect to play in an arcade. It got slightly better towards the end, but it still felt rushed. The final boss showing how totally distanced from reality the game is.

If you want to build futuristic, check out UT2003, Halo, Star Trek etc.

Yeah; s'alright. Guess.

Yeah!, I did studies about pedagogy :P... And well, if you want a concept to think of you can just borrow it from some films, other games, role playing stuff...

Anyone tried Star trek Armada 2?

that was a somewhat pointless double post

nah, 98's best for gaming (supposedly): XP's alright; I guess.Very stable, relatively

I'm pretty unsure what's going on behind the scenes, though.

lol, s'ok
no, really, it's the background screen with the menu. Unless you've got steam, like me in which case even DoD seems to feature the ambiguous Senor Freeman

OoOoO really pedagogical(umm?)! ill try it next time, besides, i just come up with a concept ill be "thinking" of

Just don?t map like if you?ve gone mad!!!... One thing one must do is to exercise his/her imagination. Before running Hammer/Worldcraft just sit down and think "What would I like to play?", "What would be interesting?", think about a single concept, a brief storyline, think first about what you would like to do. Then don?t map!!!!. Lay some pen and paper and work a little about it, about the physical structure of the map, some words for texture ambiences and lights, explain if something has to happen in a determinate point... When all these things are done you will know what you want to map. See if you can do it and then... Run Hammer.

fedit it XP sux, atleast for games
it might be good for those weird home-officeguys ( ) but for 1337 gamers(like we all are) it sux ! ME is de best

nah i saw some other page describing the same prob; water that glows, it doesnt really emit light it just gloomy glows

nah i saw some other page describing the same prob; water that glows, it doesnt really emit light it just gloomy glows

um where do u like get inspiration to make maps? i hanvt made 1 complete(big map not some small shoit thing) map in my total "knowledge" of mappign.
Brawr i dont know what to do ! (with myself )
