Why shouldn't i use carve? And thanks. For what i'm doing it's easier to do it in hammer. The building is not really a building so much as an inner face of another room, and i need it in there to line stuff up, check how it looks visually, etc. I've got another unrelated question...

Yeh, this is gay. i made a simple box as my gun, tied it to my trigger, and tried to use it in hl2dm. it swiveled (tho for some reason, even tho i tried changing the orientation, it insisted on using the broadside of the box to fire) and it made firing noise, but no damage (i shot at some...

Do you seriously have to build them outta a bunch of tiny boxes? i mean, if you could drag them around in the actual 3d view window that'd be a lot easier. But making abuilding out of a couple hundred small 'board' boxes takes a long ass time when you have to use three seperate windows to...

Lol, idiot. The funny thing is i'm not even black. Hehe. NEway, Goku, how do you make the trigger (entity) or whatever? What do i do to make that? and will th total volume of the trigger be the area ppl can acess the gun from? Does the gun actually work and fire? As for making a...

I'm trying to use the func_tank entity, which i am told that, tied to a brush, will give you a mounted gun. Once you look at all of the func_tank entities, this is obvious cuz they are the names of mounted guns 'n stuff from the game. However, I can't seem to get it to work. I THINK it might...

FryMike, how do you make func_tank a useable gun? It's an NPC gun isn't it? I tried to get it so that you can man it, but all of the parameters are for an NPC to man it. The only thing i can see that might have any way of converting it to player use is the Control Volume setting, "Name of a...

that's pretty sweet. Hair would be a good idea tho. Either that, or if you can't get a feminine lookin bald head, use one of those progs that makes a model from a pic of a person's face and use that as your base.

Thanks man. Ur first tut was what got me started. That's basically all of the instruction i have had in hammer so far, besides reading a few pages ppl have linke din these forums of information on it. And I have been makin a pretty decent map from just that (or at least my friend joey says...

czn i just turn the light to what hammer displays for a test run?

okay, forget that last question. I think I was shooting the wall and sledge handle instead of the metal head. Sry, i retried it (with my light's view distance set to 10000, just trying diff shit) and i found the actual sledge part. I still need suggestions on that light tho.

Okay, well i should have forseen this. I watched a few basic tutorials then started making my first hammer map. It's similar to de_rats (a giant room with you being a miniature person). Cept i think it's bigger, but i don't know how many units rats is. NEway, i created my light source in...

yeh, but map isn't even showing up in the maps list when creating a server. For that matter, exactly WHERE are your maps supposed to go (seems like there's map folders everywhere, and about four layers to the actual hl2dm folder) Lik an exact path.

damnit. now i'm trying to play the map to make sure everything i've gotten in sofar is working fine. But it doesn't play. It just goes to the hl2dm menu when i click play and compile it. there are no error messages tho, and no error when loading hl2dm in hammer (if i try to upload normal hl2...

shit. Sorry. Here's my pic. I forgot to upload. I had to half the size cuz of the limit, so it's hard to see.

Well, check out the pic attatched first. This is my first hl2 map (it's hl2dm yaaaaay :p) and i never did a whole lot of mapping before (some on q2 and 3). So i'm not too good :p Don't make fun of my poor attempt plz (wish i could unblur those damn textures, it only happens up close). NEway...

HOW exactly do i enlarge it in model viewer? I am in that prog and i see no transform options.

okay, i'm gonna try that. And elf, you outta do it, that'd be hilarious.

thanks figge, i'll try that. Oh, and elf. Most of the 'guys' on the internet are little teenage boys. And most of them are a mix of so hard up for it and so shy that if they see anything that could possibly be a girl on the internet (where they can act like something they aren't), a rare...

yeh, i figured it was prolly different since they are models. It would be nice if they had a feature to turn them into brushes, but oh well, i guess i'm building by hand :p I'll learn more that way anyway That avatar's pimp btw. Did you make it yourself?

Well, i'm creating my first map for hl2dm. I have done some rudimentary mapping b4 (back in the days of q2 and 3, but then the tools weren't quite so simple and so i gave up cuz i could download pretty much any type of map i could think of anyway. However, now the tools are much simpler and...
