I was working on a map for HL2 DM, and after hours of work...thought I saved it properly...maybe I didn't...because, I load the .vmf file which I had saved to all along, and it only loads my map in the early stages.
When I go in and create a HL2 DM server for gameplay, and load the map by the same name...it's in .bsp form, and has all the work I did in the level...
How can I retrieve the map as it appears in the .bsp to further work on it...??
I'm fairly new to this whole process, and read about doing cubemaps...can someone enlighten me? Or give me a link to any info...
My map works fine so far, but doesn't seem to have the same sharp images as in the HL2 game...I have the basics down, but need a good tutorial that explains all the finer detail...
Thanks in advance...
