config on hammer is a nightmare, going from the guide,,, what do i do differant to be sure it's set up as CS:S ?

EDIT: ah, it's ok i see what you mean now. just being a retard . if i have any further probs i'll give you a shout. thanks

ah good, i didn't follow this part of the guide as the "EXE" and "txt" files WAS visable, so didn't change anything, should have checked the tools etc anyway i guess. ok now for an even MORE stupid question, my map has now loaded, console showed no "err" bit so loaded fine, however i then found out i stupidly followed a guide for CS 1.6, and i've only got source, is it possible to just download different compiler and change config in hammer, and still make maps for source?? otherwise it's just been a big fat waste of my time :(

ah thank you very much jacksmoke, never heard of a porn bot before, got some very sad people out there with too much time on there hands creating carp like that. anyway i'll look forward to your reply.

errr, yes , thanks for that video Sterencehader, dont think lespian porn's going to help me with my map problem tho, can i please ask if someone with some helpful information can post a reply please.

Thank you

just create a new view point using the top view. point it viewing something, and it should bring the 3d view back

sorry guys i am a n00b and in need of some help. i know my problem is going to be something really stupid so please bare with me.i have followed your guide to the letter 3 times. but cannot get the map to load. using hammer and creating the box room is simple. i save it fine, but it seems when doing the mapname.bat bit i have a problem (or in my case box_room_tester.bat) , i put everything into notepad (box_room_tester.bat) that is required, changing relivent names for map, and currect file locations, but when i save and come out. then try to go back in i get NO console, your guide does show to go BACK in to .bat file right???. i just get the same notepad., i would insert an image or 2 to help understand what it is im going on about. and what i have in my file already. but the {img}http etc etc confusses me (easily done). i knew these n00b quistions are a constent thorn in your side so appoligies

thought it might help to paste whats entered in the notepad:

@echo off
hlcsg box_room_tester
hlbsp box_room_tester
hlvis box_room_tester
hlrad box_room_tester
copy box_room_tester.bsp "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\jasonshadbolt\counter-strike source\cstrike\maps"
pause
"C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 10 -dev +sv_cheats 1 +map box_room_tester

p.s, i tried the "search" as your stickies suggested, but couldn't find this quiry
