in My map is not updating Post #347827

It could be the .$ext in the path, or that you have short filenames (8.3 filename) disabled.
I would copy the compilers and folders over to somewhere that has no spaces or weird characters in the path or filenames like this.

C:\Hammer\London8daysdemo\maps

Then setup hammer or jack again.

in Anyone know which entities to use for flags, for a functional Day of Defeat (1.3) map? Post #347731

I started making dod tutorials but didnt think they would be used, you can get a pack haircuts rmf`s from 17buddies (linked below) they cover the basic stuff.

in Hlbox17b Source Code Post #346526

Here`s a link to Chapo`s Hlbox17b C# code someone might find it useful, its a BSP packer and wad tool, I think it also has click`n`play that downloads and installs maps for you with a single click.

Pack => Automatic creation of an archive from the map's bsp

Unpack => Automatic extraction of archive map with folder's analyse,

Resgen => Generation of a ressource file for a map

in Unlit, always bright textures, but without using lights.rad Post #346433

Its possible to read in the lightmaps and change them (like below pic) maybe read every faces lightmap and set it to the average, this would give a flat shaded look, but I think that you would get weird shading where the faces are spilt.

Example

I wonder what effect setting -chop # Set radiosity patch size for normal textures.

in Help, can't replace textures in HL1 Post #345413

I`ve been playing with the idea of recompiling the lights on the original HL maps with modern compilers, it should be possible but the maps might need light_suface entites adding to get the texture lights to work.

in Help, can't replace textures in HL1 Post #345368

Hi MenDax, your textures are saving but most single player maps have the textures included in the BSP. Type r_wadtextures 1 in console to force HL to use your wads.

in light_environment not casting light. Post #345246

Hi, light_environments need at least one brush that is fully covered in the sky texture this will then act as the light source.

in [Help] with bsps and included textures Post #344974

The texture is in the wad below, for some reason its been made into a single texture. You can either add it to the halflife.wad or make a new one and add its name to the bsp with BSPedit.

I used Bsp2map it decompiles the BSP and rips the textures to a single wad file.

One of the easiest is mediafire.com or any site like that. Did r_wadtextures 1 not work?

in [Help] with bsps and included textures Post #344962

Hi, try using r_wadtextures 1 in console it will force HL to use your editied wads instead of the ones in the BSP, if thats no use to you send me the editied BSP and I`ll take a look whats going on.

in How do i insert prefabs in jack editor Post #344646

besides transparent objects in editor i dont really see any improvement over free Valve Hammer Editor 3.5 .

For experienced users JACKs UV texture lock is very useful, for newbies it has some nice tools to help prevent invalid solids.

in Is it posibble to change the lights of a compiled bsp file. Post #340852

I managed to recompile dod_flash after changing the lights but other maps did not seem to work, could be just they needed wad paths.

https://www.17buddies.rocks/17b2/View/Map/89520/dod_flash_dusk.html

Theres also darkulator that can change the lights.
