I dl hammer 3.5 from muzzleflashes link in a previous thread and set it up. someone mentioned that i could see the models in 3d view, however all i see is the entity box. when i start the program it says v3.5. Is there something else i need to do. also i am using halflife-cs_expert.fgd Version 0.7.5. i also tried cs_expert-tom793_wc35.fgd and still i just see the sprite boxes.

ok i got it now, once i changed the name of the file in hammer it worked.

but now when i compile i get an error saying the model cant be found. this is what im doing in hammer:
models/props/bathroom_toilet.mdl (works after compile but i cant see in hammer)

C:/Valve/Condition Zero/czeror/models/props/bathroom_toilet.mdl (i can see the model in hammer. it will cause the map to crash saying model cannot be found.)
i know i have something in the wrong place but im getting frustrated. can someone enlighten me please?

What entity are you using for the model? Check your spelling of the model carefully.

ok i found the problem but i cant fix it. at any rate when i get the configs right so models show up in hammer. then the map wont run after a compile. it says it cant find the .mdl, but if i move the .mdl file to the czero root directory then it runs fine. what am i doing wrong i dont want people to have to dl models that come with the game.

edit: anyone? i know this is a simple fix for someone. i have tried to figure it out myself but keep messing things up.

Your game configuration is wrong.
models/props/bathroom_toilet.mdl is the correct way of doing it, doesn't show up in Hammer because, well, your configuration is wrong.

Check all paths.

thanks for the reply, . i looked at the setting up hammer tutorial and all these things, but i cannot get it right. this is how my mod directory is setup.

game executable:
C:ValveSteamSteamAppsgrishinkovcondition zero
Mod directory:
C:ValveSteamSteamAppsgrishinkovcondition zeromodelsprops
could u post urs so that i can compare it?

shouldn't it be condition zeroczeromodelsprops?

I haven't mapped CZ in a while, this might not be right.

Game Executable:
C:ValveSteamSteamAppsgrishinkovcondition zeroczero.exe

Mod Directory:
C:ValveSteamSteamAppsgrishinkovcondition zeroczero

Something like that, if those files and folders exists, that's how it should be. :P

i tried that, and i cannot see it in hammer. do i need to add anything to my .fgd config for it to work?

Isn't that Game Executable Directory, not the actual .exe itself?

content like maps/models/ect should definitly go in the czero folder. download a map from a server and look where it ends up. do the same with models,ect

You're probably right, didn't check.

Make sure you have the correct .fgd file that supports models in Hammer.
Also make sure you extract all the models (from the .pak or .gcf) into the models folder in your mod folder or valve folder, like:

half-lifevalvemodels
half-lifecstrikemodels

Not really sure which one. Try valvemodels, since this is kinda like the base folder for resources.

well i tried all these things and none of them worked for me. i dont have any half life folders. all i have are steam and condition zero folders. also when i type the model name ie: beaker.mdl i can see the model in hammer and when i compile the map it makes me upload the .mdl to the czero root directory. if i type models/props/beaker.mdl i cannot see it in hammer but it compiles fine and runs in game. i extracted the files and placed them into several different places hoping to make it work, but none do. am i just an idiot? please can someone post a screen shot of hammer configured for cz with steam?

Well i have hammer configured for steam mapping. I can't see models either, But for some reason hammer is defaulted to my desktop. Every time i go to move it it just slaps all the damn files back onto my screen:-/
