Hmmm, true dat. I suppose I'm lucky in terms of exchange rates...
My previous post is shit, sorry. I apologise for sounding like a twat.
Ummm, I don't know how you could get the tools working without Steam as most of them actually use the Steam dlls and executables in some way. And if Steam doesn't think you have access to the Source engine then there are not many ways around it as far as I know. But then, I'm not a mad cracker.

Its allrite dude...anyways..i think i'll just revert to trying my hands at making maps for CS v1.6 n im hopefull my queries on them will find answers
Btw...the first query that i have is about estimation and measurements in VHE for CS 1.6. Since i want to make rooms (the map in mind being that of my college) how much should be the height of the structures (from floor to ceiling of a room) so that wen the map is used..the roof isnt way above the CT and T heads. ???

The fact is you are using illegal software which Valve don't like. Even if you have the Steam stuff it won't come up because it is not tied to your account. The only way to get that is to buy the game.

OK i managed to download steam,installed it as well as created a free account. i didnt install steam in the same folder as CSS.
when i start steam i logs in "Online" mode. I also downloaded the sourcesdk.gcf file (about 830 MB) and copied it in Steam>Steamapps
However i cannot see the SDK wen go to the tools option after i launch steam.
Where am i going wrong, now tht i have the SDK..how do i use it to get VHE working and running for me and how do i use Steam in "Offline " mode??

They are pretty different.
Also, since you said you don't have Steam, I have no idea how to help you. The Source tools were released to all those that bought a copy of a game utilising the Source engine.
If you don't have Steam I assume you didn't buy it.

i have no idea how or what steam is except that wen i searched this forum for Source all the replies referred to the Source SDK for the valve hammer editor. is the VHE for source different than the one for 1.6??
anyplace i can download it and maybe then u guys can help me out?
n btw..i purchased a not so legal copy wich had a Collection of HL and CS versions frm wich i play CSS

ok, we ONLY have 1.6 fourms
my advice would be to go on google and type in "Counter-strike: source map making forums". It isnt much, but atleast im directing you to a correct forum.

hi evryone, coming to the point, i want to create a map for CSS modelled on my college building. i need to know wot iv got to use to start off making a map cuz i searched my Valve folder for the hammer editor via the steam SDK but its not there.
The path to steam on my PC is :
C:\Program Files\Valve\Counter Strike Source Final\platform\steam
and the containing folders in it are
- cached
- drivercheck
- games
- html
the games folder listed above only has icons and some other files in it..NO "exe's" are there..
plz reply ASAP with as much resource on tools, textures etc...
One more thing, is the method for adding doors, transparent windows, adding water etc the same as asked by other forum members? or is it different for a CSS map.
thanks in anticipation

Need Help on mapping in Hammer Mapping
i just created a simple map using the tut given by superjer.
now i want to move on and create various things to my map such as stairs, boxes (that explode wen the bomb detonates), using custom images on walls, holes in walls (like the one near site B in dust two wich overlooks the bombplanting location, will that be a leak !?! ), lighting adjustment etc. Also i would like to know how to make sure the camera works just like when i play on LAN at college wherein once anyone dies, they can select any camera angle to walkthrough the map.
How do i increase the number of entities for CT and T ?. the tut given uses onle one CT and one T.
Also the dust2 map has the sky above. is the sky the texture of the roof?
My basic idea is to create a map replica of my college to play with my friends on LAN in college.
Awaiting ur replies.
