Ah, they are set at -1 and -1, I'll check to it later.

I've tried that too, same problem.

I'm so lost right now

I'm making a dumpster (TrashDumpster01a.mdl) and two concrete bag pallettes (ConcreteBags2.mdl) and when I compile, I get nothing! There's absolutely nothing where they're supposed to be! Any ideas?

yeah it does that on an ak map i just got, really dumb.

Oh man thanks so much. The problem was that they were touching the ground and apparently, they can't do that. Thanks again man, totally appreciated.

I now have 5 for each team, and still cant join a team. Wtf is the deal?

....anything...?

Ok, so I just got the SDK open today, and I wanna give CS:S a shot. So far I got a room, skybox, buyzones, 2 info_player_counterterrorists and 2 info_player_terrorists, and of course a light. I compile it, I guess it's ok, but when I get in the game I cant join a team. It says both teams are full. Am I missing something here? Please help...

I merged a bunch of wads and I get the same error. It STILL isn't doing the .bsp and it's telling me to merge textures and remove unused. Can someone explain it a little bit easier?

Exactly, how do I merge .wads into a map?

Yeah, nice to know it decides to go "Gee, I'm gonna make up some sort of a lie like "Can't find .bsp file". My ass. It worked just fine the last time I compiled it, all I did was add a bench to my map and compile it to see how it looked and BAM: Went from good compiling, Mr. Smiley happy-happy go-go work-good, to WAAH-I'M-A-BITCH 2.0. What is the deal with it?? Please, any help will be great.

Exactly...how do I find out?

Wow, the Zoner's tools things sure hit the spot, but one more question. Ok, say I got a ladder that leads up the a grate. Whenever I look through the ladder I don't see the grate, how do I make it so I can see both?

Wheee-oops. Wrong one... this should be it-

Yes, and no luck. NOW I get this error.

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v365/Meatwad2k/Blech/omfg2.jpg">

Yeah, to me, that's the worst way of rotating it because I have no idea what the degree will be that I want, especially for diagonally angled things. And to top it off, ANOTHER problem. I'm getting the message "Waah waaah weapon_tripmine got a velocity too low". Sadly, I NEVER ADDED WEAPONS TO THE MAP YET. Nice to know it's making up errors. I can even look in the entity report, NO weapon_tripmine. So what the hell, its like VHE is rebelling against me.

Well, it stopped doing that for who knows how long...now we have a new problem, yay! "System cannot find file specified" a random error I never received before. Help.......

I have an absolutely terrible problem with rotating some objects. I know most people click the object in grid views and it changes mode(rotate, and that other one). But all of a sudden it decides "Nooooo I'm not gonna let you rotate it." and instead it moves it over whenever I click on it. Please help.

it says its missing a filesystem dll

hm, not quite what i need.. can you tell me what to put exactly in the additional game parameters so when i compile it takes me in steam/si to my map and such.

Yeah I have that, I just need to know how to get it to compile and run correctly with steam

I mean like, compiling and such, and, like, spawn room entities and everything it needs to run.

Anyone know how to set up VHE for Sci and Industry for Steam? Can't seem to figure it out.

It's very obvious what he's trying to say, or well, it is to me. Make sure your map has a tfdetect entity in it and a teamspawn. I don't normally compile the "normal" way, I always do it the "expert" way and select TFC from there. I hope this worked.

alright i updated it and put it in my profile..i guess i wont be going anywhere today like i thought, tornado warning

hey i dont know if anyones tried this so dont go all out on me if its been done, but i made a ghostly thing with a grunt in my map, its pretty cool, puts that ghost effect to good use. try it from my profile i dont know how to attach it to a post

ill post an updated version of the map in a bit, wont be here all day today

wow it actually compiled, thanks. oh yeah, some parts of the tank were invisible, how do i fix that?

no i havent, itll prolly reduce the leaf count like crazy wont it?

ive never used any custom models, sprites or sounds in my maps

yeah i have made several tfc maps

his site must be down cuz it wont load, but yeah, there is something about this error which makes no sense to me

yeah i went to tommys site, that guy needs to put his help stuff in english(sarcasm) cuz i dont understand any of that really

yeah i checked everywhere for the log file, not there. at all. so please see what you can do, thanks in advance

its not there at all, i even did a search, but i will post the rmf file, its called killtheshake.... see if you can do something cuz its really getting annoying not being able to play it..

cant seem to find it, wheres the default spot for it

Been a while since I posted but lets not worry about that. I made a TFC map and when i finished it, it didnt compile. It ran the game and said - no precache *1
Somebody PLEASE help me

Heh, I fixed it but in a kinda lame way, I changed it to a func_door instead of rotating. My avatar is a screenshot i took from the level, as you can see the sci didn't drop so the (i have no idea why) icky flew out of the water and started gnawing at his ankles. Thanks for the help anyway, much appreciation.

This is a lot like my problem, must be the scientist

Ok thx guys,it uses a few wad files for the mod though but its based on the HL.fgd. Yea I do have an origin brush, the button and door have the exact names they need to be, but the scientist never drops unless its empty or if its got gibs in it I guess I'll post it, u can probably avoid the .wads because its only in the living room area of the house and the outside, in which you cant go, and theres no skybox yet.

Hola, new to the forums here so please don't tell me that this has been posted already. I am making a map for Scientist Hunt for a group of friends and in the map theres a big pool with monstermakers for ihcthyosaurs. I have switches to activate everything. Theres a cage above the pool with monstermakers set with scientists. Theres a func_door_rotating that he stands on, supposably, i press a switch and door opens and he drops in and gets eaten, but it never opens when he is inside the cage. Any help at all would be great, thanks.
