tools change in hammer 3.5 Created 18 years ago2005-10-16 21:39:35 UTC by LeFtY

Hi all,
I have made a map and set the tools for HL cs the first version, it compiles ok, then I decided to change the tools so the map will be in the steam files, I have chosen to save the compiled map in condition zero cs maps file, the map compiles with no errors ok but when I make changes to the map and save it, the map keeps the changes ok but when I compile it doesn't keep the changes in the map?
when I go into steam and run the map, it works, so the .BSP file is there ok.
what is going wrong, can anyone shed some light on this issue, usualy when I put maps in the steam app's condition zero cs maps file I get bots, now I get no bots and no changes such as adding walls or anything, but the map compiles with no errors.....hope that made sence!!

The compile isn't going right, then. Either there's a problem with the map ? check the log ? or the BSP isn't being copied to the right place in the end.

it compiles ok (but I will check log file), also checked map for problems, checked in hammer, no problems found. .BSP file is in the correct steam/apps/condition zero/cstrike/maps folder....I will delete the last changes made and make new changes and try again...will let you know the outcome!

thanx...

ok...played around and experimented with tools...works ok now, changes are now saved when compiling, had to change the setting for game launching to steam/apps/myname/condition zero hl.exe, it was trying to launch in the old original cs hl.exe thats not in steam...ooops.

Funny thing is that I tried to do it in cs 1.6 in my steam folder, this worked ok but when I tried to play it in my condition zero steam game it came up with learning map/learning hiding places and froze up.

its all good now...works a treat.

[edit] close this thread if you like, the steam tools setting tutorial helped but I didnt think about the games launching process and how it can affect the compiling especialy if the hl.exe is not correctly placed in the tools options to match the game specified (I feel so silly )
