Can't see vehicles

[Evil Unk]

I am trying to make a HL2eathmatch map with vehicles.

My settings for Hammer are with the -engine ep1 parameter


I create my room.
Add my start positions
add a light
add a prop_vehicle_jeep entity
wet the model to buggy.mdl
and compile and load the map and I see no buggy

I have checked for the viewing of it and it is set correctly (-1 and 0)
I have read that if it is an illegal model then it wont show, but I see no errors when it is built and the buggy is available for Episode One and deathmatch, yes?

if I set the entity to prop_vehicle_drivable and give it the buggy model it is there, but when I try to enter the vehicle it starts the animation and freezes

I have tried this on two different PC's and get the same thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nobody?

Well I posted this and many have looked and nobody has answered.
IS this working for anybody else?

I uninstalled Steam, renamed my steam directory and installed steam, half-life2 and hl2 deathmaych
I ran both games so it initializes some needed files and then I went into Hammer and created a very basic map with two spawns one start entity and one jeep entity with the world model of buggy.mdl

launch game, no buggy
I can drop in the airboat and it it there (stuck to the floor) ansd I can change the model top buggy, but it really still an airboat, not a buggy

ANY replies would be great, like "yeah this is happening me too" or ideally maybe a "this happened to me once and here is how I fixed it".
As I learn stuff I will let anyone else know if they let me know they are having the same issue.

As far as I know hl2 deathmatch doesn't support this buggy.
the only vehicle that works is the airboat, try "impulse 83" or "impulse 82" (In Console) 1 of them is for the airboat the other for the buggy.
But the buggy wont spawn so thats what i ment with no support...

Btw with original HL2 scripting your vehicles will lag like shit in multiplayer mods (that also includes HL2 Deathmatch).

Hope this helps you.
