creating rugged terrain Created 16 years ago2008-01-07 19:59:04 UTC by Chardi3

hey again,

im having problems now with making terrain. i have been reading the source beginner terrain tutorial, and it fails form the start. i made a block, and hit shift+a to birng up face sheet edit...this guys one is different. mine is a small simpler box 'face properties' which has similar yet less functions. there are no tabs with materials and displacement or anything..is this a older version of hammer? what can i do

You need to buy a game based on source engine, after that download the source sdk, and then you have Hammer. You didnt find displacement and info_player_counterterrorist because that version of Hammer is for the goldsouce engine (like half life 1 and cs).

i have counter strike source, and i wanted to make some gg_maps with source textures and everything but have no idea how. i have preloaded half life one textures for now until i find others but entities and objects wise i have almost nothing. my problem for this thing is that i cant mould terrain because 'face sheet edit' is 'face properties' with less functionality. i have both source SDK's and the normal one wont start, base does. can anyone link me source terrain and things?

So you want to make the map for CS 1.6 with some source textures? Don't know about it then. I only map for Source.

No, he's trying to map for Source with Hammer 3.4/3.5 which is for the Goldsource(HL1) engine.

You need Hammer 4, my friend, available via the Source SDK, which is in turn available over Steam for the sweet price of ?0

To start the normal Source SDK go to its properties/launch options and type "-engine ep1", then start the SDK and it is gonna bring up a window, there is the version of Hammer what you need.

try to best me with helpful images, eh? EH?

well mine has a bing, so

Love the bing, made me laugh for some reason.

"The Bing" is aslo made me laugh, I just now realised that how to add images in my post and give it a try...I dont want to take the shine out of that.
