from what i can muster from what you said; you do need HL for its textures.

You need the models,, and the sprites, and the textures.

Im not gonna incurage you to download anything.
HL costs like nothing these days, go buy it you cheap bastard

D:

Buying games off ebay is as awesome as being kicked in the balls by a kickboxer.

DO NOT buy games off ebay.

We recently had a guy here complaining about his copy of HL2 which he bought off ebay did not work.
We all had a good laugh..

There are still loads of bestseller versions of HL out there, not hard to catch at all in a standard store.
At least not in sweden

Edit: Oh right, steam...
I prefer retail tho, boxes are hot

Yeah, that's what I told myself, so I bought the Orange Box retail. Couldn't stand not having a box.

Are you sure this guy is asking through what venue he should buy Half-Life?
Posted 16 years ago2007-11-26 20:06:42 UTC Post #239235
naturally - you cant have hammer (full usage) without HL
Posted 16 years ago2007-11-26 20:09:25 UTC Post #239237
Well, yes you can. You just can't play your maps. :P

Anyway, this guy's talking about viewing sprites, torches (?) and "FUCKING BLOCKS" or something. Anyone care to clear that up?

If you have textures, and a half-life based game (IE cs or dod) you can

Well the newest version of the cs fdg file allows models to be viewed in valve hammer if thats what you mean. Not sure about the other mods or hl for that matter.

Posted 16 years ago2007-11-28 23:21:18 UTC Post #239365
This thread makes about as much sense as its title. That is, none at all.

What are these BLOCKS you are talking about? I know of no BLOCKS that would be seen in place of anything.
Posted 16 years ago2007-11-28 23:28:18 UTC Post #239366
when i place sprites in my game they show as purple/pink and green blocks in 3d view :confused: p.s. 'wispers' fucking blocks.....
Posted 16 years ago2007-11-28 23:34:13 UTC Post #239367
oh, i think i finally understand the FUCKING BLOCKS now.
Posted 16 years ago2007-11-28 23:34:53 UTC Post #239368
Oh, yeah. That's not an error, that's how it's supposed to be unless you're using Hammer 3.5 and it's set up correctly with the models and everything. You will need the game with its content to do see models in the 3D view. Until then, nothing you can do about it.

P.S. Also, they're mostly not sprites, they're models. ;)

please give me a minute................DOODLYFUCKJESUSCHRIST'SBANNANASINACOWHOLEWITHJEFFEREYDOMMERSWHILESCREWINGAFIREHYDRANT!!! where do i get 3.5 and is it free cause i got no monies.
Posted 16 years ago2007-11-28 23:40:17 UTC Post #239370
No, it costs $289.98 from Steam.

Of course it's free.

But you still can't see the models unless you actually have them, which you don't.

i love you :heart:also mario gave me a link for cs stuff he says will work without game
Posted 16 years ago2007-11-28 23:45:57 UTC Post #239372
Meh...you might learn that models don't play a significant enough role in GoldSrc for it to matter much whether you see them in the editor. That's why I still use 3.4. Most people don't use them for small items and details much, they just use brushes.

Dude, seriously. Get Half-Life. Without it, you're not going to have:
  • Models
  • Textures
  • Sprites
  • Something to test your maps with
It's dirt cheap now too: if you can afford to have a computer and use the Internet, then you can afford Half-Life.

Yeah, you can get it from Steam for like $5 or something like that.
Posted 16 years ago2007-11-29 00:46:42 UTC Post #239379
i believe its $10 for HL, CS 1.6, CZ, and CZ:DS. That's $2.50 a game.
Posted 16 years ago2007-11-29 00:47:38 UTC Post #239380
Hahaha. That's damn cheap.
Dude, can you NOT dish out $10? Or are you on a 50 cents a week allowance and just spent yourself out?
