map acting up Created 18 years ago2006-05-31 15:45:04 UTC by zeeba-G

Ok well I am like 1 step from done w my map but now i placed two more items in my map and when i test it they dont show up. I even made a little box and tryed it out and it wasnt there...any one know whats up?

This link here should help

Also, stop making new threads. Create ONE thread for the map you are working on. All your problems go in there.

well that didnt seem to help with my problem

ok. Allow me to quote the part that will help.

This is an example of a bad post:

Topic: OMG HELP ME
Text: I JUST GOT HAMMER AND I GET THIS ERROR SOMETHING ABOUT LIGHTS HELP PLZ QUICK.

They haven't given their post a relevant topic. They haven't described the error properly. That's not going to get them any help, it's just going to annoy the people who want to help.

ok... i made a map... it is almost done-has guns lights everything... when i press f9 to test it /it works. Now- After all of this I added two more items to my map... now i pressed f9 and tested it again and those two items "ammo" that I placed do not show up at all when im playing the map... therefor i am unable to finish the map because i have to still place all of the start locations... ? ? ? i can save the map and everytime i open it up in hammer the newly placed items show up but when i test it they are gone...

they might be partially in a wall or floor.. If this is the case, they will 'fall out' of the world.

Make sure that when you select them, the yellow border square is not inside a brush.

(much better post, by the way)

thanks a lot... thow that wasnt the problem... i switched my build programs back to the hammer's tools instead of the zhlt's tools and it worked...weird huh?

Yeah... sort it out. Don't use the Q-tools. Make ZHLT work.

Switch back to the ZHLT tools. The QTools are horribly outdated and buggy. Recompile your map with the ZHLT Tools and check your logfile (mapname.log, in the same directory as your mapname.rmf) Open it up and check for problems such as leaks, invalid brushes or anything else. If you've found something strange in the log, post it here, and we will help you solving the problem. But never use the QTools again.

well ok got all that sorted out so far i think... well now 1 problem of course had to pop up... in my map i have a dead scientist on a table and another standing next to him. The one standing is named and i hooked him up to an aiscripted_sequence making him look like hes working on the dead scientist. When i test the map it works fine but than i tryed loading up a lan and changing the map to my map so that i could test it out in multiplayer. Than the scientist standing wasnt there"thow the dead one was"... this happened in another map as well where all of the alive scientists dissapear while playing in multiplayer.. anyone know whats wrong?

Yeah. You don't have scientists in multiplayer. No monsters.

is there any other way i can get this effect ? when i use the cycler is there any way to make the model do the animation that i want him to ?

if you're playing it on LAN, there is a server command that will enable monsters.
Load your map, type the command and then re-load the map..

i cant remember the exact command but its something like

mp_allowmonsters 1

experiment

Not true, 7th, you CAN have monster in Multiplayer (just HLDM) with fully functional AI. However, this is disabled by default. If you want to have monsters in HLDM, you'll need to enter this command in the console:

mp_allowmonsters 1

This will enable monsters in HLDM maps. You'll need to restart your map for this to take affect.

Edit: Bah! Go to bed, Hunter!

hah! beat you to it, muzz!

Yeah, so basically, Muzzle, it's pointless, because very few servers will have it on ;).

hey yall download my map lol yall pretty much helped me make it!

Well, my server always has mp_allowmonsters activated. So uhm...
