can someone please help me..
VVIS Flow is getting stuck on like 6...7.
it is soo annoying and long!
i have a town map....
so i have no idea on where to add the hints to the map.
i have looked at the city_17map that valve done. and they only added 2 HUGE hint brushes to the outside...
lol. i see LOADS of unseen areas *about 70% no no 80-90% with textures in places u cant see!
even the tutorial maps u get in hammer!
my question is...is there a reason behind this? does this improve lighten or cubemapping or anything?
if i add NO DRAW to all the areas u cant see i think...
hi all.
ok i have a question.
When i make ANYTHING in my map, i start off by using the NODRAW texture. then i texture the sides that the player can see. the area the player wont see will stay NODRAW to save FPS.....
so i thought....
because looking at the SIX new sp maps valve...
i have added alot of light to my map.
it is just the player hands and crowbar turns up silver when i type buildcubemap the players hands and crowbar turns silver looking colour. and *my map does have light in every room... but when i go in a dark vent the crowbar is still there viewable in a...
hey all!
ok i have a few *maybe noobish* questions i hope get answered by you great people out there.
Ok i have made a level and all i have is a crowbar...
1) i know how to do cubemaps, but for some strange reason the crowbar is all Silver? why is this (and i think the players hands...
im making a sp level. it will be fun to play. nothin too special untill i got the hangs of getting to know it all.
im a COD(call of duty and medal of honour) map/scripter but hl2 is alot different in many ways.
SO much more fun and rewarding to make hl2 levels.
got the same thing.
what u gotta do (which i did)
is restart steam. then go and click on "hl2" as u normally do to play it and it will "validate files" for u like an update *that is what i got*
then after that sdk will work fine
it was only because hl2 *ITSELF* was validating new steam files!
it didn't need a re-install..
if any of u get an error like this in the future.. what you do is try to run hl2 and u "SHOULD" see that hl2 is updating
how do i uninstall the sdk from steam and re-install hehe sorry i know a nood question on that but still.
also this wound mean i have to redo my level im making again will it? i can put it all back (just wondering if that is the reason?)
Also HL2 itself is doing an update *validating...
Help my sdk was working fine about 2hours ago. i went off to watch some good tv then came back...
Went to open SDK and it said this...
MountFilesystem( 206 ) failed: SteamMountFilesystem(2264,206,0x45fbfc=,0x4b5fd0c) failed with error 116: Cache needs repair
That is what it says...
the bit where u said you had barely posted before the sdk came out... well...
