same prob here but i think its because my other computer's graphic card sucks cause when i put it on hlds it works fine with my friends computer. plus LAN ping is 5 -10

Is there a quick way to finding these brushes, i don't have the brush number

I pressed alt p to check for errors then i fixed them up and checked again and there were no errors found but i still get thr same error

when i was compiling one of my maps this error occured i don't know how to fix it please help

heres a link to a tut video i made on ladder in valve hammer edidtor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAT3e1nReC0 if its not processed yet then wait for 10 min and try again

i don't think it has anything to do with the cyclinder cause some of my maps have ladders in mid air

this didn't work. i used the map for condition zero

nope it didn't work

nope don't have health pack but now i have another question how do you add pistols in its not in the amoury entity

i was wondering is there a way to add health packs in the game that heals your health

thank you
tut work fine

i need help on how to use the teleport entities

what do i make it out of? so that its see through

tyvm but do you have any suggestion on how to make a see through bullet proff wall?

fixed by reloading an old save XD

hi as you know i got a few question

1)what is the hint, sky, null and skip texture used for

2) how do i make a cylender

3) how to i resize images when in hammer

4) how do u decide which wep to give in the armoury entity

o tyvm but now theres another prob i've fixed the ladder but its the doors turn, after i've made my first door whichs works fine i went to make another door and after i've compiled it and start it up most of the light sources are gone (about 11 light source gone) and now i'm left with a very dark map with about 2 light source

hi i'm working on a ladder in my map but the ladder doesn't seems to work as i can clearly see the layers AAAtrigger, Clip and the cstrike ladder also i can still see the blue part of the ladder pic but instead of blue it turned black

any idea how to fix this?

Another problem

Its taking an extremely long time to compile the map ten munites and still only 10% done

lol i made the same mistake as Mate de Vita first made along time ago XD

i do have a few light source a view ct and t and bomb site a VIP and some hostages. i have merged a few of my .wad and imported it to hammer during the making of the map

hi again i've been making a map and i've tried to compile it but then this error message showed up
hlvis: Error: Portal file 'da_hotel.prt' does not exist, cannot vis the map


i don't know what it means could any1 plz help

Hi er i'm new here but ur idea of uploading ur cscz got me intrested because im getting tired of geting unused wad out so can u please post the link to the file or if u changed your ming about uploading it please tell me

Many thanks

Thankyou for replying and it was very usfull

But for number two do you have any recomended sites for maby downloading the .map or the .rmf file? Also by shorten the lifespan mean takes a long time and anyoing?

And for number three is there a easier way to stright draw onto the wall but not read from a .wad file or do i have to read from the wad file

Thanks man u make life alot easier for me

here is three questions to hammer mapping that i could not figure out

1)how to roughly work out the size of a ct or t so its easier to size the map
2)is there a way to edit existing maps?
3)is there a way to directly draw things in the map (add graffiti using hammer)

thank you very much for reading
looking forward to see the answers

omg so happy i fixed the problem

heres how i did it i went to the maps filder under czero and i deleted the .nav file for my map and restarted the game and the game reanalyzed my map and what do u know! its done!

anyway thank you guys so much for helping me out

my map doesn't contain any teleport. its just a plain map with a hostage situation because i'm still a starter at map making

Yes it did analyse the map the first time i played

here is the log for the map and yes i do have a map folder in my cz
