Hammer Mapping — Page [1]

Ok, just got hammer yesterday, and read the tutorial you made on mapping. (thanks btw)

Map plan: with 2 buildings spread fairly far apart, and open space in the middle. The middle has a few barriers to hide behind. The buildings are facing eachother and have 3 floors each, with lots of windows.

Note I have a nonsteam cs 1.6
Heres the questions:

1) How do you make breakable objects, and how do you make it transparent(like glass)

2) when I make a block, and use the vertex tool to make it into a ramp, 1 side doesnt show. Then when I save and reload the map, its an infinite ramp. What am i doing wrong?

3) How do I make a climbing surface? I saw the ladder guide, but I have no idea how to make an AAAtrigger.

4) How do I make a trigger that opens a door(garage door), similar to the garage one in cs_office.

5) Whats the clipping tool and path tool do

6) How do I actually make my map functional? I can run it, but do i need to move all the compiled files into the directory where cs reads my maps?

7) Yes or no: Can I have one brush with windows built it? Or do I have to make brushes around the window

8)Does the armory_entity allow for all weapons tobe bought? because the properties say weapon_mp5. And does it make the whole level a buy zone?

Thanks for reading

1) Make you object, and then click to toEntity button (on the bottom right-hand side). Select func_breakable from the list. In the properties of that object, set rendermode to texture, and fx amount to 0-255 (0-invisible, 255-compltetly solid).

2) Don't use vertex tool; It's kinda complicated... The CLIP tool is a lot easier to use.

3) Make a thin (change grid size with [ and ] ) brush up against your wall, and make it a func_ladder (using the toEntity button).

4) Make your func_door and name it whatever. Now create a trigger_multiple and set target to whatever. Give the trigger_multiple aaatrigger texture.

5) Was answered before, in 2. I have no idea about path tool.

6) No. ZHLT copies you final .bsp file to your cstrike directory.

7) No.

8) armory_entity is a weapon on the ground you can pick up. A buy zone would be func_buyzone.

You're very welcome.

See you soon with your compiling errors!

Ok I tried to compile and got an error after 40% on 'MakeScales', "The program failed to allocate a block of memory." then it said it was likely caused by "partition holding the swapfile is full; swapfile size is smaller than required; heap corruption"

Note, it took 241 seconds to do BuildVisLeafs, and my comp isnt that fast which may be the problem.

Also got a virtual memory too low message after

hlrad: Error: Memory allocation failure
Description: The program failled to allocate a block of memory.
Howto Fix: Likely causes are (in order of likeliness) : the partition holding the swapfile is full; swapfile size is smaller than required; memory fragmentation; heap corruption

That's why in long posts I do it bit-by-bit.

Low virtual memory- close EVERYTHING that isn't zhlt.

...I'm waiting for the .err

That's odd, I've never encountered this error. I wish Superjer would come back already...

It's basically saying your computer is dying a low-memory death. This is generally because Windows eats up most of your "swapfile" (an area of memory where programs are kept (kinda) when they are not in RAM). If you know your way around windows, and know how to fiddle with its important settings without blowing it up (computer explosion is number one cause of death around technofools) then you could try to alter its size. I wouldn't recommend that though.

If you add the -chop command to the bat file then that should make things a bit easier. Try -chop 128 (this might work but equivalently I might have got the up-and-down scaling wrong. I think the default is 64 though.)
