Following the recent release of the Half-Life 2 SDK, The Snarkpit have recently opened their new Half-Life 2 editing page to the public. The section contains numerous mapping tutorials, including 3D Skybox and displacement surface articles. [br]

My first second post!

Weeee! Coverage on snarkpit is always good!

 

[Hellbound]

Nice one, i'll keep an eye on that website.
Hope they put up some good beginners tutorials soon.

 

[Ecthe|ioN]

Like Hellbound said. Beginners tutorials would be great

 

[Wesisapie]

i figured out most of the other stuff by myself, just play around with it a bit. these tutorials are about where i am up to. i just started yesterday and learning the uses of everything is a great idea before getting down to the nitty gritty of actually making complex geometry

a description of each entity type and example of how to use would be great too.. but i fear i guess it would take too long.

Nice site. Bookmarked.

[Jangle]

[GWalker]

Hey guys I can't find the place to set the parameters for glass, could someone please help. ;(

[edit]: when I double click I get solid with 6 faces!

[edit2]: Hey I have got a brain, I've just found it. :naughty:

 

[dkelly]

This should be useful, I did some minor editing with Doom 3.
But it was all just messing about.

Damn right

 

[Wesisapie]

its really not that hard to make a map with physics and crap in it, just give it a shot. read the documentation, pull your hair out because its very vague, wait for someone on a forum to tell you a way to even allow your map to compile, work out some more things by yourself and BAM theres a map.

 

[jasonh1234]

sdk was released?

 

[Hazar]

sweet! :E

 

[Hotteman]

Thx for the link dude!

It will certainly be pretty usefull.
I did crappy maps in old CS but now I'll make a buggless and good looking one on soource.

thx again.
hey btw, is there a post or a room on this site to discuss map/mod making?
that would be amazing if of course i'm not the only one working on hammer in this forum ... am I?

 

[Kneppy]

Is anyone else having problems getting to the page? It keeps saying that the page does not exist

The SDK is only available to accounts that own CS:S right now.

In other words, if you plan to buy HL2 via retail, you have to wait till Nov 16th.

 

[Assassinai]

ohh c'mon can i have a copy of Soure SDK now???

 

[GonzoBabbleshit]

Good work on the pointless bump there.
