Okay, but whenever i test my map it only loads whats in the view of this thing.

Is it acceptable if I use the cordon tool for sealing off the map in compiles?
-
Before the final release yes.

Can someone explain to my why the hell my path_corners are not working? They're all properly connected. I'm getting no errors related to them in my compile log and console. The NPC decided to walk to the path_corners A B C D E F G and H decided to stop at D even though D is connected to E which is connected to F and so on
-
Do you have nodes set up for them?

I ran nav_generate but I guess these arn't the
droidsnodes you're looking for.
I was planning to place nodes on my map after I add more detail but I guess I can do it right away when I have time and try again.

just got back into mapping and god damn after all this time hammer is still fucking spaghetti
didn't they say they would give the editor a huge update with portal 2?
-
Just curious as to what application does the carve tool really have? I've been around long enough to know that using it is humorously taboo in the mapping community, and does Valve even use it?
-
So I've had this bug forever on this computer (and only this one) where my WASD keys did not work with navigating in hammer. Instead, D goes forwards and S goes backwards. This is all good and all and I've gotten used to it, but recently I've started mapping using CS:S, and now S doesn't even go backwards!
Has anyone else ever had this? The wiki says Hover your mouse over the 3d view and try again. which is really quite unhelpful, and the only keyboard language I have installed right now is English (UK).

That is radial culling, it turns it self on randomly and it the most annoying piece of shit ever.
You can turn it off by clicking the button that is an R with a red circle around it
If you can't find it, it's at the toolbar at the top.

Apparently I have a leak. Upon loading the pointfile, the red line goes straight through the brush originating from one of my info_player_terrorist entities. The brush is not an entity but is nodrawed on a few sides. The leak no longer appears when I make the brush one texture and take out the nodraws.
I seem to have a lot of these in my compile log...

Find all brushes with the area portal texture, find all entities with names like func_areaportal and func_areaportalwindow, then put them all in a visgroup, make sure they are hidden by unchecking them in the visgroup tab. Then recompile and load the pointfile, for whatever reason, when you compile with areaportals the pointfile gets created in an odd way.Apparently I have a leak.

Is it possible to make a spawner for an entity that doesn't exist until an addon creates it in garrysmod?
-
Anyone have some cool pictures of World War 1 or 2 trench warfare? I want some inspiration for a DOD:S map I'm working on.
-
alright im so fucking sick of using pointfiles since they usually dont help
i remember there being a key bind where if the position numbers of a leaked entity are copied, you could use the key bind to go to the position where the leaked entity is
what the fuck was that key bind
-
so im making a destructable wall that tries to imitate procedural destruction, its made of a bunch of physboxes that either destroy or fly off when something hits them
how do i fix the weird lighting and odd seams on this
this is what it looks like when its all blown up
-
You make it a model instead.
-
i dont understand how a model would fit for what im doing?
-
Look at the ep 2 models for the barn in the last level.
It will be perfect for explosions but I fear your fake DMM using bullets to break it might need to stay as is. A "hacky" way to do it might be to have a flat solid block, and when you destroy it have it activate all the smaller pieces. So it goes from a flat wall to lots of smaller pieces. So when it is intact the seams don't show.
-
The only thing I can come up with is placing a another light infront of the wall.
If you however insist on using explosives to destroy the wall, there might be a possible work-around.
First, make the wall a solid func_brush.
Then, add a second wall on it's place, the wall will be the destroyed version for later. Make it a func_brush and set the "StartDisabled" keyvalue to Yes.
Then add a env_ar2explosion and a func_button made of Nodraw.
Make it so that once the explosion hits the button, the env_ar2explosion explodes and hides the scene in a cloud of smoke, after that disable the wall model and enable the post-destruction wall.
You can also create some rubble to that second func_brush to make it seem more realistic.
You could also make decals magically show up.
If you create and name a decal. All you have to do is create a output to it. With the function "Activate"
This will make the decal be disabled on the beginning.
I don't think it could be used on a brush but you could make a bigger burnt-carpet using that.
Well that is all I can come up with.
So the best way would be using a model, the cheap way would be this one.
-
there's no explosive involved, its like that destroyable dry-wall in that bf3 close-quarters trailer - but i appreciate the advice

Would it be possible to play a movie like true a projector?
I don't think it would directly be possible but there are some animated textures in hammer so would it be possible to compile the video to one of these animated textures apply it to a surface and use a soundscape for the audio?
If so how do the animated textures work?
-
I'm sure this would be possible in Portal 2, because it has an entity now that plays a special kind of video file. All you would have to do is convert the file into the right format and play it.
But if you're talking about like using it for a multiplayer game or Half-Life 2, I'm not so sure that's possible.
Also, don't try to make a custom texture out of it.
-
Yeah the Portal 2 engine supports projecting a Bink movie into the game, DO NOT try putting a movie into a animated texture. That one L4D2 mall custom campaign tried this with the left 4 dead trailer ( so it would be displayed on some monitors ingame ). It resulted in everyone with a small Ram getting a overflow error and crashing since every frame of the movie had to be loaded at all times.
-
How can I run Hammer properly offline? I always get a 'Failed to load default scheme file' error. It's a minor aberrance (no grid measurements, checkered props in 2D), really, but not something I'm totally willing to put up with.
-
so im trying to map for cs:go but im having a few problems. i successfully set up the editor and can compile maps fine, they come out alright but im having problems with custom textures - specifically prop_details emitting from displacements.
i went on fpsbannana and found a really good looking grass texture for CS:S, includes a detail.vbsp and files for the sprites. i got it to work successfully for cs:s and figured it would be easy to do for CS:GO. i put everything in the places where they would go for cs:s, but in the csgo root folder.
detail.vbsp went into the csgo root, the materials went into the materials folder.
the problem im having now is that, when i place the texture down, the sprites emitting from the displacement arent right. infact, it looks like theyre coming from a different file. its showing some bushes with berry's on it and shit instead of the grass that it should be.
the way the texture worked for CS:S is that it replaced the detail.vbsp that was in the root folder and the detailsprites materials file. since i just dragged and dropped everythign to where they would be but in the csgo root folder, i cant fingure out why its not working.
any help?

How do I make a camera cutscene-thing? I want to animate a first-person camera at the beginning of a level. Also, I want to animate some arms and shit, export them in to source and import that in to hammer, and then package it with my map. How would I go about doing these things?

Trying to use a HL2 prop in L4D2 but in the model browser it's invisible and nothing shows up in wireframe mode either. I'm pretty sure everything's in the right directory, and I heard HL2 props should work in L4D2 without changing the file type or anything.
-
This might be linked to the incorrect location of the mdl file in your game directory. Double check everything.

Well, there's that. But I don't think that would cause your map from loading, however...
That might be something to look into.

His issue has already been fixed.

Whenever I extend a brush it stretches out the texture. I've turned on and off texture lock and restarted hammer. It still continues to do this. Any fix?
