A little help

[SilentKilla]

I'm a newbie with the Hammer program. When I am doing one the tutorials listed in the Stickys on this forum I encounter this problem here;

1. I dont see the model
2. The light bulb model isn't working either?
3. I have no textures on the walls like theres supposed to be

How do I get the models to appear, also how do I add textures on the walls and such?

Click Camera, then 3D Textured.

Thanks, now I need help with spawn points. In the tut he says something like "info_player_counterterrorist" as the entity, that isnt there. What do I use for CT and Terrorist spawn?
:cheers:

You're reading a CS:S tutorial. This tutorial is slightly outdated (and intended for former CS1.5 mappers), but it covers the best setup scheme; this tutorial is horribly obsolete in unimaginable ways, but if you start from Step Two (about halfway down the page), you can probably work it out. This site and this site have very good goldsrc tutorials. The best compiler is available here (Zoner's Half-Life Tools); the best FGD is available here (click "Right Here").

I never really figured out how to get Zhlt to work with hammer. It wouldn't ever start up right and after a day or so I gave up.

 

[Raeven0]

The point is probably long moot, but your compile log would surely have contained interesting data

Something I remember in particular is that old Hammer, for reasons unknown, would occasionally act like it was running the compiler but not actually do anything. The only known solution to that was using a batch compiler.

 

[Limpet]

Right, I'll try and compile something and post it up here.

Ok, so I've come to the conclusion that I don't know what I'm doing.

I set hammer to use zhlt under build programs.

The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified."

And then pops up a window that says:
The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"The system cannont find the file specified"
Do you want to continue? Yes No

Either way it just stops


But I think I see something that I was missing before. If you help me before I get it, that'd be wonderful too.

 

[Raeven0]

The $gamedir is unnecessary there. The command ($bsp_exe) should be executed on the map ($path\$file) alone. Note also that ZHLT is for goldsrc mapping, so you must be using an older Hammer and you must run the CSG executable before the others; for Source, use CST.

Cool got it all figured out. Much thanks Raeven
