How To Get In Mod Created 16 years ago2008-10-01 22:56:37 UTC by greiko

Im Runing half life on steam and the mod im mapping for is the specialist how do i go about opening the map up with this in default? besides running hl exe automatically. and if i make a city map how do i make it so sky is not walk thru able?

I'm afraid i don't understand your first question.
As for the sky being solid;
you need to use newer compile tools which can be found here.

if you use Zoners Half-Life Tools, skies will automatically be solid.

It is, however, worth noting that a map loses a lot of realism if the player can touch the sky. Try blocking it off with structures, walls and suchlike.

I wanna know how i can run a mod instead of running half life on map testing

after downloadfing zoners tools and running map this happens

sure you typed everything in right?

Can't you just load The Specialists and then open the map with the console?

the specialist load up and everythingim just sayin i dont like these errors
i think there from zoners cause it only happens when i have them it has nothing to do with the mod

Can Someone help?

Try my Compilator...

i already fixed it i need another question. now i cant use lightspot as the sky it wont light

Use a light_environment.

then what?

Use a light_environment.

then what?

Its like a normal light, it just makes light come from the entire sky as opposed to one point. There's not really anything else to be said there.

but it doesnt light

Make sure it's inside your map, make sure the map has no leaks, and make sure you set it up a bit. If a light_environment isn't projecting light from your skybox texture, you're doing something wrong.

i fixed it

Edit: Im making a city map anyone got any tips?

No double posting ;o

houses. you need houses.

lol duh. anyway i got all these damn errors i deleted them but they stay there
solid entity is empty

lol. i say you go over the basics again before trying to make a city map. srsly

haha fixed it... ive been mapping for a while i just came back im just a little bit rusty

right. well complete your map soon then

the only reason i dont make more city-type maps is cause i dont have enough textures...

get some form xen assault. it has BARE

Yeah Darkie. There are hundreds of decent city .wads out there. Namely the ones by Blazeer and the Poke646 textures.

and... where can i get them from?

tell me also were i can get these from

Google, all hail

google never really helped me I just use Wad Father And Cstrike Planet. Oh well i got a question, usually when i make city maps i make the floor of the skybox the grass and place streets pavement etc. ontop of it. but I think im the only one who does it that way does anyone do it different?

well i made a rotating door but when i open in go inside the place and close it i cant open it to leave the place its weird.. it only opens from one side

Don't surround your map with a sky box.
Put sky brushes only where they are needed to block the player from seeing the void.
