Wow. Just wow.
It's the gay Hammer 3d camera fuck up. There is a topic on Intelopers about the fix (that works btw).
I would link you but my internet is being funny at the moment

The thing is, is who in their right mind would pay ?2210 for 3DSMAX, if they only person that is going to use it, is themselves? Who is gonna pay such money for these programs?
That is where everything is going wrong in my opinion. Things are too damn expensive.

The police are going to get there asses kicked. They have nothing on TPB that will win them the case.
Well, I took your hints and tips and came up with this beauty.

Trust me. She is.
Can't see it it at all...
The only game which doesn't seem to be affected by the engine update is HL2. Which is why people who map for HL2 haven't had any stupid errors in Hammer.
Just wait for a fix.

Yeah, well im freezing to death here ^^
I'll probably attempt it later when I'm warmed up a bit.

Bah I couldnt be assed. It really is too tedious. The fact that the image size isnt to the power of 2 isnt really helpful either.
How did you sample the cracks? I always end up with some of it and a bit of the stone it came from..
Thanks 
How would I correct this image to make it tileable? How would I fix the lighting and such?

It's the engine. Valve updated it last week.
Join the other hundreds of people who have been having problems with the update...

I get the same error.
It's not the sky I'm sure, and it's not the cubemaps being too close together mainly because the sky texture and cubemaps are in the same place as before the engine update. (And they worked fine then)

thanks, got any ideas for what else I could try and create?
Ya, thanks for help.
Here's my first texture. Made by scratch btw

Here's a proper workaround!
C:Program FilesSteamSteamAppsAccount_namesourcesdkbin
create a shortcut to hammer and put -dxlevel 80 in the command line like this : "C:Program FilesSteamSteamAppsAccount_namesourcesdkbinhammer.exe" -dxlevel 80
this will correct the graphic error.
Solved by some dude at Interlopers!

No shit? I mean, how to you add details such as scratches and dirt?

How do I make textures?
What process do I have to go through?

I kind of need help to learn how to make my own custom textures (I know how to convert them to source and such).
Does anyone use GIMP to make them, and does anyone have any useful tutorials or tips?

Valve fucked it up unfortunately. So, I can no longer map, not only because of this 3d error but because Hammer crashes every 10 minutes now
The walls are a bit plain and boring tbh. Try mixing the textures up a bit
I don't hollow, it's not really nessecary.
Bet it would look nice in Source 
Looks very nice in the HL engine as it is

Do what he said lol (Which is very helpful)
I find phys_explosion to be buggy anyway. Sometimes it just fails to work for some odd reason =/

Thanks for clearing that up. You stopped me from fucking up my map lol. I used to apply func_detail to alot of brushes :S
Yeah good point
What's the difference between using func_detail and func_wall?

Exos your wrong ^^
Just make sure the size of the arch is to the power of 2
Eg: 128 x 128 , 256 x 256
And yeah, cheers about the clipping idea Never thought of it
I already knew that Habboi, pretty good isn't it?

I know how to use the arch tool =/
It's just that they meet at a angle. How do I do this?

Do any of your folks now how to make arches like this accurately?
Help would be nice

Make a trigger at each spawn that plays the ambient generics. Simple.
Yup. Doesn't render brushes with double-sided faces.
"I'm slowly trying to detail various areas of this map. Slow, annoying work."
That is what makes mapping worth while

Might have a go at it. Could vastly increase my mapping skills.
Any examples of how I could use the env_microphone on a CS:S map?
Which won't be too far in the future
Roll on PPU!

That broken door looks bad to be honest.
Point_Spotlight isn't considered as a light to the Source engine for some reason (I think). So just add a normal Light entity somewhere and it should fix that mat_fullbright problem.
Mainly because they are utterly crap? The collisions on stuff are terrible.
Me too. Might motivate me to start modelling again
Wow, it's just like the circus!
Looks nice and even . Better then I could do. Never really got the hang of skinning

Those wheels are pretty bad =/ They are too low poly imo.
Nice model though and good economical use of polies

I haven't got it working properly myself, but maybe someone else can help.

Indeed, you just need to make sure you name it properly so it moves with the door as it is opened. I'm sure there is a tutorial somewhere
