Compiling, and placing entities

[JaZman]

I made a post in the help thread, and I got this much help:

Anyway, I made a very simple map as a test, when I place an entity, and then right click and "create object" nothing happens. If I then choose select object, the entity kinda dissapears. What am I doing wrong?

Also where do I put my map so I can run it when I create a server?

Last but not least, when I compile, I don't seem to get any errors, but I get a vmx and a vmf, is that what I'm supposed to get? Can someone explain the extensions to me?

Kudos to anyone who helps me :afro:

P.S one of you experts should make a tutorial type thing...

hey yeah it is a **** when nobody will help.

Press enter to add (I had the same problem).
add them to "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\**add your id here**\counter-strike source\cstrike\maps".
I think so, I am new to maping.

I totaly agree, I have issues about lighting and stuff nobody will help.

BTW: try this http://cariad.co.za/twhl/tutorialbrowse.php?tuttype=1 its for the old hammer but it's quite good.

Thank you! I kinda feel like a fool now, 'cause it was one button, heh.

Kudos to you good sir!

I think most mappers are just really busy right now, ... mapping for themselves, checking out what can be done. Anyway, it's not really hard to find out for yourself, using info that's available.

yeah, since hammer works pretty much the same as its previous iterations don't be afraid to use old tutorials and resources for most things.
