Hi,
Not exactly sure where to put this,
Here seamed to be the best as it is not a mapping question.
I am running a hl2dm server with source dedicated server.
And i was wondering is it possible to use custom admin skins?
I would love to get skins in for my admins to use.. i already have them made but dont know how to get them into the server.. is it even possible?

Thanks Andy.

Hey,
Ive been working on both HL2 and HL2DM maps that i want to put sand into,
But i cant seam to find any "Sand" Textures in Hammer. I know there must be, There is lots of sand in HL2's mission sandtraps with all the antlions so..

Anyone know where to find the texture?

edit: Its ok, sorry, just my n00bness, the sand textures all have grass like thumbs, didnt even notice them, Sorry.
Thanks,
Andy.

right well i have the elevator fully working now.. the brush moves up and down its path_track.. but i still cant figure out how to set it so it only moves when theres a player on it.

i have heard to put a brush just above it(With the trigger texture) and tie Trigger_once to it.. which i have done.. but i didnt set any properties as i am unsure what to set.. but even with this done it just goes non stop

Anyone any idea?

hey so i am working on my first map..
And i have put in a basic platform elevator.. just a simple flat brush tied to func_tracktrain and a path_track that it follows.. and it all works fine when i run the game it goes up and down and up and down.. but doesnt stop.. how do i set it so that it only goes when a player steps onto the brush?

Thank

I would have though that aswell :

Have you read Andys In the beginning Part 6 tutorial?

I know thats for HL1 and not even for DM.. but it gives you a general idea of how to get your NCPs to do stuff!

Hey, Me again..

Ok I have had an idea for a map for Half Life 2 deathmatch.. and so far its only just a big room like a kill box with a few walk ways and a teleport.. it is compiling fine and everything works when i run it as a normal HL2 map..
But when i add an info_player_deathmatch in beside my player start and compile its not working?
It opens DM and everything and in the console window it does all its work like in H-Life but then just when you think its all going to work..

Is what happens in the console.. anyone any idea why this is happening?

Thanks for your time in reading.
