3d camera view black on new maps Created 17 years ago2007-01-27 01:41:18 UTC by Rory

When I load old maps, everything loads fine, and I got a 3d camera view, but when I make a new map it's completely black (yes I have built stuff )

I build a highly decorative room in the dead center of the map, without moving the view once. Hollow and everything, tried moving around, and used 1 and 2 to shorten/lengthen the viewing distance, still black.

(mapping for HL2DM)

I'm no Source mapper, but from what I hear, you have to manually create a camera before you can see anything in the 3D view. There have been other threads where this has been explained before.

Like he said just click the camera tool and click anywhere in the 2D view to fix it.

It happens all the time for all source mappers (?).

Fix it by selecting the camera tool in the tools menu to the left where all the other tools are (vertex, brush etc...) and create a camera in one of the 2D views (Press and drag), and then it works.

Edit: oh - it was already sloved, I missed that

Thanks guys, that got it!
