The info_player_start is area that you spawn before you pick t or ct

Aye, that is what i have been doing but it still turns up glitched. You change the sky in map>map properties, right? <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Aye, that's where you change it. I don't know why you are getting problems then.

Does anyone know how to make the ground (forgive the term) "shiney" like the tiles in italy or dust?

I may be wrong but I belive env_cubemap does the reflection stuff. And you just plac eit in the rmf then you have to go ingame and get the reflections to work, like say buildcubemaps in console but its disabled for cs:s for some reason so the only way thats been told to me is the illegal way so, **** valve and there half assed editor/fgd it doest even have vechles and not all of the ents are working.......

I read a tutorial on that one forums where they used the hacked editor, they said env_cubemap was simply for creating that picture you see through the scope on guns.

yeah, here it is <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Have you ever wondered how Valve got gun scopes to look like they are reflective? Do you want to know how it works? Do you want that sexyness in your maps? If so, read on.

When you place an env_cubemap in your map and you look at it's properties you don't think it does much, do you? Well, it does. When you compile with one of those things in your map, the entity takes pictures from all 6 sides of it and puts it into one .vtf embedded inside your .bsp file. So when you walk near that area with an AWP or whatever it will 'reflect' your surroundings onto the lens.

How do you use env_cubemap you ask? Simply place a few in your map, open their properties and select the size each 'reflective' picture should be. 1x1 should be used only if you want the color of the surrounding geometry 'reflective.' Larger dimensions equal larger file sizes, obviously.

do you just call it office, or skybox_office? I did the exact same thing and copied what the texture was called <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Also, to use the vehicles you would need the hl2 vehicle code, which i dont think valve can legally release until the 16th.

I know the forums you got that quote from but Im getting what I am saying from <a href='http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/Levels/cubemaps.htm' target='_blank'>http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/Levels/cubemaps.htm</a>

And if you look at the last sentince of that it says use them to have reflections

TheMuffinMan

The problem is that you need to use "buildcubemaps" ingame, but it wont let you write onto the bsp.

Just use the name, and when you filter, you will notice names like officsbk or officetop. Just take the first part of the name and use that.

How the hell do I make springs work? What are they used for anyway, hanging brushbased entities in a point-entity?
And why is my func_physbox_multiplayer not solid to players, but to everything else?

About the info_player_terrorist and ct, you have to enter the properties of the entity and set which team it belongs to.

Has anyone had any luck importing a .map or .rmf of an NS map into Hammer?

I'm getting all sorts of errors, as shown in <a href='http://www.chatbear.com/board.plm?a=viewthread&t=428,1099736081,4248&id=722477&b=4986&v=flatold' target='_blank'>this thread</a>.

I've imported 2 or 3 maps, all have worked fine. Have you tried getting someone else to try to see if it's just you, or if it's the map?

If i had one i would have a go. Anyone got one for me to try?

My .rmf attempts didn't work, but when I try to open a .map it works just fine. Except that there are no textures or working entities...

I have a relatively quick and easy challenge for those of you with the SDK.

Create a barrel hanging from a rope.

That's all. I just want to see if it's possible... I have ideas....

There are tutorials for this sort of thing so i may have a go when i get in from uni later today
