where do i save my textures Created 18 years ago2006-04-26 19:40:39 UTC by annoyin_kid

i keep on making maps without using any textures but when ever i try to load cs opens up then closes like 10 seconds later. then i decide to try to open up cs and my map is dere in bsp format. im like wtf but i go ahead and play it but when it was starting up the server the computer decide to pis me off and closes cs and says 'a fatal error has occoured. could not fine gam.wad' or something like dat. then im like wtf i didnt even use any textures.

so anyone of u guys know wats up wit my computer?

i've been trying to fix it for a week but i got no where

Well you obviously have SOME textures loaded otherwise you wouldn't be getting that error. Check your Hammer configs and delete the wad in the textures section but I can't imagine why you would want to make a map without textures in the first place.

yeah in the hammer setup it said i needed some wads for it to start (ill check in a sec) but even though i have textures in setup i didnt use any so does it really matter?

oh i new to cs mapping. i started like a week ago and i dont know how to insert a texture yet. but hopefully if this work i can be making the next de_dust soon.

But it does matter. Any wads used in hammer are technically used in the map, even if you didn't actually use the textures in the map itself. Just move the wad to your cstrike folder and try again or use a different wad in Hammer.

Is it even possible to make a map without textures and compile it?

well i tried to unselect the wads in hammer and then open my rmf but it said that i had to select some wads in order to open my map or make a new one

You can`t make a no texture map. You can`t create an oject with no texture. And even if u could when you tried to play the map the game would crash cause it doesn`t know what to show on screen.

but on all of the noob tutorials it doesn't say how to insert a texture. and after u finish making the noob map it says hit f9 and a disgusting purple room will hopefully appear or sumthing like that.

but on all of the noob tutorials it doesn't say how to insert a texture

Take a look at the "In the Beginning" tutorials. The entire process is explained.

Is it even possible to make a map without textures and compile it?

Well you can't even use Hammer without having textures in it, otherwise it will just keep saying "Do you want the wizard to help you set up Hammer?" and if you use textures that don't exist in the wad in Hammer(like using one wad and taking it out of Hammer later) then the map will compile but the "blank" textures wll be black and pink checkerboards. So technically you CAN compile without any valid textures in the map itself. I really can't see why you would want to do that though.

apperantly if i don't use textures then it should look like something like this picture http://countermap.counter-strike.net/Tutorials/Guy_Montag/t2-13.jpg. also i didnt select any wads called gam.wad i only had decals liquids and 2 others.

hopefully the pic will help

Try harder to make your problem more clear...I've read your posts multiple times, and I still have no idea what your problem is!

So let's just do the standard routine:

Post scrennies of your Game Configurations and Build Programs for us.

This is for the original Half-Life, correct?

What version of hammer are you using?

Have you downloaded/installed Zoner's tools?

k i get soon
